Aurum's dungeon, the first basement floor.
　I entered first and wandered through the dungeon, defeating the little demons.
　When I returned to the dungeon entrance through a completely unfamiliar path, I saw Alice at the front.

'Here you go.'
Do I go in like this?
Yeah.

　I gave her a nod and Alice pushed the magic cart into the dungeon.
　Like a scene change in an old videotape, the scenery around me changed completely, and I was sent from standing close to the entrance of the dungeon just before to a completely unknown location.

'No matter how many times they do this to me, I'll never get used to this.
Yeah, things freak me out a little bit.

　Alice tuned in next to me.
　She walked into the dungeon and was sent with me.

　Aurum, a rogue type dungeon that changes its structure every time someone enters.
　The only way to conquer it with a party is to enter the dungeon in pieces and meet up inside, or like now, the first one to enter will return to the entrance and be sent to the same place as the new one.

　I finally thought it was a cumbersome dungeon.

'So, do you know?'
Yeah, it's this way.

　I asked while receiving the magic cart, and Alice pointed to the other side with a confident expression on her face.
　She didn't know where she was being sent, looking forward or back only led to the dungeon path.
　Still, Alice looked at the other side without hesitation.

'So it's still there. Hey, what does that feel like?'
What's that about?
I was just wondering what it's like to understand the structure of a dungeon and all that.

　Alice has special abilities.
　She can understand the structure of dungeons and know where the monsters are. Such abilities.
　My guess is that it's probably because she was born in a dungeon, but I'm not sure at the moment.
　However, it is clear that she can do it.

'I don't know, I'm kind of sure,'
Sort of.
Yeah, I think-- oh, there's going to be a monster.
Mmm.

　Alice stopped and stared forward.
　She hid the magic cart she had pushed in behind her back and drew her gun and held it at the ready.
　And so we wait, often.

'You can't be born ......'
We're almost there.

　Out of the corner of my eye, the ceiling cracked open and one of the little devils jumped out of it.
　It looked as if it had been born out of a dungeon.
　After giving birth to the little devil, the crack in the dungeon returned to the original empty ceiling.

　It shoots normal bullets, and even though it had just been born, the monster is a monster, and that guy, who can produce full power right away, dodged the bullets.
　I was expecting to be dodged, so I ran out and packed it in the direction he was going to dodge.

　And then a counter telephone punch.
　A punch that slammed into the coming place, blowing the little demon away and cracking the wall and ramming it inside.
　I can hear the monster groaning, still alive.

　Pang pang!

　I fired a series of bullets at the hole in the wall, and shortly after, there was a clunk and the monster disappeared.
　Instead, a grain of gold sand rolled out of the hole.
　I picked it up.

'Awesome, Lyota, you're totally relentless.
Really?
'Yes!　And that was really cool. He's going to cave in to the wall and slam, slam, slam, slam into the hole.
The trick is to hit them as soon as you can, while you still can, to stay in circles for as long as possible.
Yeah, yeah, I'll remember that.

　Alice nodded her head repeatedly and agreed with my words.
　In spite of her, after entering the unit price into the magic cart, I put in the gold sand.

　Immediately, the figure of 2567 piro came up.

''Oh, that's so much for one grain now.
Gold--gold, in quantities up to the first knuckle of your pinky, for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Awesome. Can we beat them too?

　The SD-sized skeleton and slime on her shoulders always responded with something.

''I see, so we have to increase everyone's numbers.
No?
Yeah, he wants some more company.
I see.

　While I was convinced, I took Alice and the others and proceeded further into the dungeon.
　I didn't miss the little demons that encountered along the way and defeated them tightly.

　After all, one gram of the gold we dropped was worth about 3,500 piro.
　By the time we came to the stairs, we had 58,121 pillows.
　This alone was more expensive than a full load of sprouts, but when I looked inside the magic cart, I saw that it only contained a little bit of sprouts.

''That's really amazing, I wonder how much it would be if we filled the cart with gold.
'Hundreds of millions, maybe billions?　It's more expensive per gram than vegetables and has more mass, so it goes in well.
'Yeah!　That much?
So much.

　He nodded clearly.

　That's about it when we get together, but, well, I don't think we'll get that much.
　Even I'm at the point where I'd have to hunt to death for a month to fill up a cart at this pace.
　It's the act of putting every grain of sand in a big box, so that's what it would take.

　Of course, you don't have to fill up your cart because the purchase price is so great, but there's no need to fill it up.

Well, let's move on.
'Yes!　Oh, there's a monster right down there.
Okay, I'll go in first. I'll give you a signal when it's all over.
Okay.

　I loaded all kinds of bullets, no matter what, and then I grabbed my gun and went downstairs.

　Aulum's dungeon, the second basement floor.

　As soon as I stepped in, the view was blurred again.
　Even if I went downstairs, the structure would change!

　The next thing I knew I was in a vast space.
　The space is like a gymnasium, with a large number of monsters.

　The little devils look the same as on the basement floor, but the colors are clearly different.
　It's the 2P color in the game.
　They are crawling with them - a quick look around will reveal three orders of magnitude.

　The moment the word "Monster House" popped into my head.

　A fist-sized ball of light flew at me. When I quickly guarded against it, a shock to the extent of being hit by a dodge ball hit my body.

　It wasn't a single shot, all the monsters were hurling at me at the same time.
　Inside the gymnasium-like space, balls of light flew at once from all directions.

　A series of impacts, the light covered my vision.
　I involuntarily assumed a turtle posture, I couldn't see and there were too many of them, I knew I had to wait for this rush of light balls to pass.

　Fortunately, each shot was not much.
　My body tingles and goes numb from being continuously hit by the balls, but it's not enough to cause serious injury.

　I guarded myself and endured the rush of the light balls while shooting recovery rounds at myself like an injection, just in case.

　After how long, when my sense of time had become paralyzed by the extraordinary scene, the number of light balls had clearly decreased.
　I looked up and held my gun - a little demon of a different color was right there, and he swung his hand down and hit me with a ball of light.
　I guarded it, and then fought back - when I tried to do so.

　The little devil, to my surprise, collapsed as it was.
　It made a bursting sound as if it had been hit by something in the air and fell to the ground unsteadily. What does that mean?

　More balls of light flew in from right beside me, and when I pointed my gun at it too, the little devil that seemed to have wooed me fell to the ground in tatters.

　If you look closely, there were so many of them - a monster house of little devils that was apparently more than a hundred in all likelihood, but it had already been half destroyed. Their numbers had been reduced to less than half.
　Even the little devils that were still there had their bodies flashing red.

　Red flashing--ha!
　I took out a slime tear from my pocket, that guy is flashing red as well.

　The slime tears dropped by the stragglers of High Guts Slime, have two effects.

　It tracks the attacker, and it reflects the damage.
　With that, I stand on a stick.
　More balls of light fly in, the moment they hit me, one of the little devils runs out of power and falls to the ground.

　It shoots a ball of light and hits me, knocking itself down.
　I don't do anything, I'm just standing there.
　Then another three minutes or so.

"It's over, huh?

　I looked inside the gymnasium-like space, every single monster had been wiped out by the reflection.
　Instead, I could see glowing things all over the ground.

''So the basement two floors are also made of gold sand?''

　Pick up what you can find.
　The second basement floor of Aurum seems to drop gold sand just like the first basement floor.
　I was in a hurry for a moment in the Monster House, but even if I didn't do anything, I got about 300,000 piro of gold sand by my estimate, so the results were fine.

　Then I met up with Alice.
　We surveyed the basement two floors in detail, and by the time we were done, it was time for the sun to set.
　The gold sand was about a million piro's worth.
