With the booming cheers and people returning to the festive mood, I ran toward the blown-up Neptune.
　Neptune, who is already on his feet, is covered in dirt and grime, but he doesn't seem to be injured.
　The dust is being brushed off by Ran and Lil, and Neptune is making it seem like it's a normal thing.

'Looks like he's okay,'
Of course. I'm sorry I caused you so much trouble. I should've taken the blame for my mistake.
It was a girl. Don't worry about it.
But I still want to thank you. Thank you.

　Neptune said that with a calm expression.
　That blow was undoubtedly strong, it was just that it didn't defeat the Inklings Goblins in a single blow.

　In a melee, I'm probably as strong as or better than the S. I'm not sure.
　I wouldn't have been able to do it either, without my gun.

"You're the man I knew you'd be, and you're completely above board.
Really?
That was a great shot. I'm going to fall in love with you all over again.
That's why you're taking such a risk...
Speaking of which, the lines in your arms are nice again. I love the way the lines run down your neck.
I knew you were a faggot!

How many times do I have to tell you? I'm not a homos*xual.
For that, every single thing I say is dangerous.
'What can I do to make you believe me?　So, if I swear on the name of my beloved father, will you believe me?
'Don't do it because faggot on top of faggot is the worst thing I can imagine.
'How rude!　I'm not a motherf*cker, I'm a motherf*cker!
That's the worst part of it!

　It was probably a mistake to come out here and see if I was worried about my acquaintance, since he'd been blown away.
　When I talk to this guy, I get completely caught up in the pace of it, it's very gripping.

"Oh, by the way, ......

　Neptune looked behind me.
　I turn around, and there's Emily standing there.

"I heard you started a family?
Yeah.
Well, ...... it's a shame. I liked you so much, I couldn't bring myself to join you.
I'm afraid you're going to like it.
It's okay. I don't think I'm done with you yet.
Not yet!
Oops.

　Neptune held it in his hand as if it had slipped out of his mouth.
　This guy is definitely a faggot.

　Perhaps fearing the pursuit, Neptune walked away with Ran and Lil, hand in hand, with a good-natured smile that suited his sweet mask well.
　That's all it takes to be a harem man with flowers in his hands ...... This guy is definitely a homos*xual, my sixth sense whispers to me.

　I don't want to get involved in the future, I thought.
　After Neptune had left, Emily, who had been keeping a low profile, spoke up.

'Mr. Yoda, you're tired.'
I'm a bit tired (、、、、、、、). ......

　More so than fighting a monster.

'What was that monster drop?'
Oh, that. Maybe that's it.

　I took out my pouch.
　I had the pouch with me so I wouldn't have to show it to the people who helped me with my exhibit at the harvest festival.

　I open the pouch and show the contents to Emily.

It's ...... full of regular bullets.
''That's what I'm talking about. That Incredible Goblin was a weak monster, the original for the Harvest Festival. Maybe all the normal monsters haggling for Cyclo's normal monsters are normal bullets. That's what Tellurian was.
'I see!　But I'm a little disappointed, I thought it was another new item.
It's never too late to get out.

　He smiled at Emily and took the regular bullet out of the pouch and tucked it away with the other bullets.

'Um, ......,'

　I was approached again from the side.
　Who is it this time?　I turned around and saw the girl from earlier there.
　The girl who had run up to Neptune and was now in a pinch.

　I crouched down and held my gaze at the same level and asked, "Are you okay?

Are you okay?　Were you hurt?
Yeah, thanks, Uncle.
Well, I'm glad you're not hurt. From now on, you must be more careful. Monsters disappear when they're properly defeated, so don't go near them before they disappear.

　I thought I was becoming familiar with this world.
　It's a world where monsters drop everything, monsters that disappear when they die, and I'm definitely becoming familiar with this other world.
　I am definitely becoming familiar with this other world, as I explain such commonplace phenomena to children.

'Yes!　All right!　You know what, Uncle.
What?
Amelia, I want to be an adventurer when I grow up.
What's her name, Amelia?
'Yes!　So hey, uncle, when Amelia grows up, can you take her to the dungeon with me?
Yeah, sure.

　I answered almost immediately.
　When I grew up, I would take him to the dungeon, because it was a very cute little treat.

Really?　Thanks Uncle!

　Amelia was innocently happy.
　I wondered if I'd be able to go dungeon diving with her in ten years or so, which would be fun, I thought.

　I vaguely imagined her rebuking me for being a badass adult.
　That might not be a bad idea, I thought.

　I'm imagining such a thing.

　--A soft touch was felt on my cheek.

　I felt a soft touch on my cheek.
　Amelia leaned forward and kissed me on the cheek.

"I promise.
Yeah, I promise.

　I was a little surprised, but that's what kids do.
　I smiled and patted her on the head.
　A woman in the distance, who looked like Amelia's mother, called out to her, and she trailed off backwards as she ran back to her parents.

'You are my new mate,'
Yeah.

　I guess I'm a future Dora 1 candidate.
　Me and Emily smiled at Amelia and even waved her off.
　Beyond them, we see Celeste and Eve.

　Celeste is empty-handed, but Eve is carrying a large amount of carrots.
　To be honest, I can hardly see Eve, she just looks like a leg growing out of a pile of carrots.

　But for some reason Celeste is staring at me with her eyes wide open, as if she's about to get rid of the blinds.
　I wonder what's going on with her.

Que--
Que?
Ke ke ke ke ke marry Mr. Ryota?
Yeah?
Because when you grow up, and promises and all that: ......
Yeah, that's--
Ugh, ...... I didn't think you'd get ahead of me.
What?

　What's wrong with this story?
　What do you mean, you're ahead of me?　I think Celeste is rather ahead of Amelia, don't you think?
　But Celeste looked extremely depressed, as if she had seen the end of the world.
　She was comforted by a pile of carrots.

Don't worry. You can have the carrot starter.
I'm just tired of being half-heartedly nice.

　Celeste felt like a screw had been blown off and ran off to wherever it was, leaving behind the Doppler effect.
