Telldungeon, 7th floor underground.
　Dungeonsnow - a gutsy slime emerged from the snow.
　I shoot a penetrating bullet at the monster that created a picture-perfect scene.

　With a single blow, the slime gapes into a crescent shape, and all subsequent attacks are no longer effective.

''Please do so.''
Thank you.

　I randomly walk up to it with the rare item I got earlier from Emily, a slime tear, and walk up to it.
　The slime, whose body is missing, bounces and hits me - the moment it does.

　The moment it hit me, the slime bursts away.
　The slime drops an onion and disappears, assuring me that the experiment has been a success.

　Emily, Celeste, and Eve, who had been keeping their distance to watch the test, approached me.

'I see, so you can use this to hunt on the seventh floor of the tellurium by yourself.
'Yeah, we can do that first until the slime's special ability is activated, then we can get one shot and reflect. I figured going into invincibility would be 1 HP or something like that.
But this is something only you can do.
'Well. Getting attacked every time you try to take it down is too good to go around. It's impossible to make it practical unless you have both strength and HP.

Was Ryota-san safe from the attack?
I'll be fine.
How much of an attack was it?

　At Celeste's question, I thought for a moment, then turned to Eve and touched my forehead.
　Eve nodded and chopped at me.

'Good, a little later.'

　I said, and Eve gave a quick (!) chop.

As fast as it feels,
Hang on.

　Eve walked stoutly over and stood in front of the tree and chopped at the same speed.
　The thick tree, which was about the size of a grown man's torso, was cut in half and wobbled.


It's that kind of thing, Yoda, that doesn't faze me.
Yeah, you're good.

　Emily was rather childishly happy, and Celeste glanced at me with a sly grin.

'A grasping but not grasping clunker,'
'Don't be so sure, Eve, your damage reflexes are still amazing--'
What's going on, Mr. Yoda?

　Three people wondering.
　I've got an interesting idea.

　　　　　☆

　Nifonium dungeon, basement level two.
　This is the best place to get out of anyone's way.

　Regular dungeons are filled with adventurers, and Princess Margaret and her friends come to produce air in the first basement level of the Nifonium dungeon.
　From the second floor onwards, you may or may not run into another adventurer for a week.

　I'll be strutting around in this limestone cave like dungeon.
　I'm just going to wander around.

　Just like before, when your stats reach S, you find monsters and don't attack them, but get hit by them as you please and walk slowly.

　You'll encounter zombies one after another, sometimes by surprise.
　Take them and walk anyway.

　When there are more than 15 zombies - poof!
　The first zombie that attacked me burst through the air.
　It burst about the same time as I attacked it, and then it disappeared, leaving its seeds behind.

"That's great, Mr. Yoda, you killed a monster just by walking.
I didn't know you could do this.

　Emily and the rest of the group, who were standing off to the side, rolling their eyes in admiration as they stayed out of my way.

　Yes, that thing I did before, the one where I'm walking around with a bunch of monsters in tow.
　That one keeps getting attacked all the time, combined with the slime tears there, and the other side gets hit on its own.

''That's fine, but it's not very efficient.

　I pull out my gun and start firing away, wiping out all the zombies around me.
　The monsters are gone, and Emily and the others are approaching.

'It's no use, Yoda, you're too strong.
Yeah. Well, I guess you could say this.
'What do you want to do with this? I know it's a useful item, but the Harvest Festival needs this.
That's a pretty high price to pay.
How many carrots do you have?

　I chuckle back at Eve's question, which is not blunt.

'Let's go up for today for now, we'll make a decision tomorrow.
Okay.
Okay, let's get out of here.
I'm going to tellurium. Surrounded by mountains of carrots.

　The three of us were completely at ease with each other as we headed home.
　Meanwhile, I stopped in my tracks.
　I stopped, because an idea came to me in my brain.
　The three of them stop and turn to me.

"......
Mr. Yoda?
What's going on?
Sorry guys, you can go home first.

　Emily and the three of them were puzzled for a moment, but they quickly accepted it.

'Okay,'
You can tell me what you're thinking about again.
I'll be careful, low-level.

　The three of them turned themselves around without asking anything, and this time they were heading home.
　I waved to the three of them and saw them off.

　　　　　☆

　The next morning.
　When I woke up, I felt a terrible pain in every part of my body.
　When I stretched out to see what was going on, I felt a crisp sensation.

I'm sure you've slept in the dungeon.

　I immediately remembered that there were five zombies surrounding me, attacking me.
　The zombies kept attacking, and one of them was knocked down by a reflex and dropped a seed.

　The seeds get sucked into the collection box I keep nearby.

　After seeing them off last night, I spent the night here in the basement of Nifongnium.
　I haven't even moved to where I am now, where I saw them off.
　All I did was set up the collection box and then I slept with the slime tears.

　I didn't do anything in fact.
　The result of doing nothing - I looked inside the collection box to see what I had done.

'One, two, three...... thirty-seven in all?

　I was able to defeat 37 zombies just by sleeping here one night.
　It's not very efficient, and I can't really say it's practical.

　It was a bit of an interesting experience to be able to hunt just by sleeping.
