Auldurm Dungeon, third basement level.
　I entered the dungeon alone that day and explored the dungeon.

　As I walked down the narrow and winding path, I saw an open space.
　It's an underground dungeon, but it's an open space like a gymnasium.
　Inside was crawling with little devils.

　I loaded up my normal bullets and aimed.
　The space - I didn't enter the monster house, I was on the road.
　That's why there's not much to see, but on the contrary, I was able to successfully aim at the little devils that entered my line of fire.

　One shot at a time.
　I took good aim and took one headshot after another.

　The monster that was shot, crashed to the ground, and disappeared, went straight into a sand and gold drop, which was sucked into the porch.

　One by one, the little devils swarmed towards the road, black ball after black ball was also hurled.
　This one too, is defeated and fires back.

　I dodged the black balls like machine guns fired by multiple bodies, and then fired back with normal bullets.
　It's a gunfight like in the movies.

　The spirit is F, so it's a bad idea to hit them, and I fought with priority on evasion.
　Avoid and shoot, shoot and avoid.

　I repeated the process and wiped out the little devils.

'Fifty-seven in all, roughly 200,000 piro?

　You can check the weight by playing your finger on the thick pouch.
　That's about the weight of a monster house.

　We made 200,000 piro for now, but money was not the goal today.

　I walked into the open gymnasium-like space, put my gun away and waited patiently.

　About three minutes later, the little devil showed up again.
　As usual, it looks like it was born from a dungeon (、、、、) and is coming.

　The thing didn't come close to me, it shot a black ball at me.
　It's a long range monster.

　So I just flicked the black ball away, simple as that.
　I dodge it and it fires again, which I can easily avoid.

　It's just one, it's not a very fast ball, and it's easy to dodge.
　As I continued to dodge without fighting back, the next little devil was born.
　This time, it was born as if it had been spawned from the ceiling.

　That one also shot a black ball, and now there are two enemies.

　Avoiding the doubled-up ball, they continued to avoid it without fighting back.
　It's still jostling.

　The third one, the fourth one, the fifth one...... as you continue to dodge.
　The little devils are born one by one, and the number of balls shooting at me at the same time is increasing.

　I kept dodging, not fighting back, but accumulating the monsters and dodging the attacks.

　The number of little devils continued to increase, gradually becoming a barrage, and my concentration gradually increased.

　　　　　☆

　A corner of the village, the planned site of Tsubame's repayment of kindness.
　The repayment of the favor of the buyer, Tsubame, who started building early, and a tent for a temporary store until it was completed.
　Inside that tent, I was being treated by Ena.
　There was another female shopkeeper from Tsubame's Ongoing in the tent, and this one was sitting at the counter tending the store.

'I'm surprised, I didn't know that Satou-san, who came to sell gold sand, was injured. I mean, I've never seen Satou-san injured before.
'Well, I think it happened a lot in the beginning. When it was just bean sprouts.

　Like the really early, early days when I was trying to make 20,000 piro in three days to rent a room to Emily.
　I remember bringing in sprouts in those days while I was in tatters.
　We didn't have guns back then, and even now, I accidentally ran out of recovery rounds, and that's how I ended up here, injured.

'I didn't know Satou-san then,'
Okay.
'I mean, is Aulum really that dangerous?　I can't believe Satou-san got hurt like this.
'Not so much on the first floor, you can usually do it solo. The second and third floors are better with a party, it's a group fight.
Really?
Yeah, I'm going solo...

　He stops Ena's tending to her hands and draws his gun.
　He picks up a stone lying at his feet and tosses it lightly right in front of him.

　Then he pulls out two guns!
　Daddy Daddy Daddy!　and a total of twelve bullets on both sides in the misguided direction (、、、、、、、).
　And reload. Quick reload with a familiar hand.

　Twelve bullets are loaded, and it shoots.
　More reloads, twelve rounds.
　Reload after shooting, 12 rounds.

　Total, 48 rounds.

　That's the number of little devils I was able to dodge unharmed.

　Every bullet I fired was a tracking round. Forty-eight rounds in a misguided direction, they changed course and swarmed around the stone.

　Stardust.

　It was the method I had developed when I defeated the dungeon master of Nihonium, the way he slammed the tracking bullets into the stone like a meteor shower all at once.

　The stones swarmed by the 48 bullets were shot and shattered one by one.
　Eventually, they disappeared without a trace.

'And well, this is how you get caught in the crossfire. So you'll need a party.
......
Ena?
'Um, sorry, do you mean they do this to you when you go downstairs to the second and third floors?'
Yeah.
Have you been hunting there?
'All of today's money is sand from the hunt on the third floor. How much did we get?
Less than half a million.
That's quite a lot of money.
I mean, what did you do with that attack?
Averted. Sometimes it's hard to avoid and that's what happens.

　I point at the spot where Ena has patched me up and laugh at the mockery.

Avoided?
It's not quite there yet, though; I could have gotten to 48, but beyond that it looks like this.
It's great enough. I mean, you're kidding me, avoiding that thing.
Even if it's great, the dungeons have to be stable. ......

　I chuckled.

　The reason I practiced avoiding them was for when I would be fighting powerful monsters, even if my spirit turned S.
　If you are a dungeon master class with S strength, a magic attack will do damage if you are a dungeon master class, there is a high probability that there is a monster that will do more damage than that even if it has S strength.

　That's why I thought it was better to learn how to avoid them as well as take them as a lazy thing.

'That training is going to take a break for a while. I've used up all the recovery bullets in my hand.
Yeah,

　Ena stands up and goes to the shattered stones and picks up the shattered remains.

'I wish there was someplace like this where it's the same kind of attack but doesn't take too much damage.
What?
What?
......
Huh?

　Ena gave me a strange look.
　I walked up to Ena and took her hand and looked her straight in the eye.

'Thank you, Ena!　I had a plan.
Yeah, yeah?
'Thank you!　Thank you so much!

　We'll be back, I said goodbye to Ena and dashed towards the dungeon.

　　　　　☆

　The remaining Ena looked away from Ryota with a bang, but her expression slowly changed.

'...... Totally, man...'

　He gazed at Ryota's back as he left and wrapped his hand around his clenched hand.
　He wrapped it carefully around his chest like a nun praying.

'You're going to act like a child when you talk about the dungeon,'
You sound like a damsel in distress, though.
You're annoying. What does it matter?

　Ena's face turns bright red when a co-worker sitting at the counter points out to her.
　She's teased her best friend before in the same way, karma.

　Aurum Dungeon, basement level two.
　Monster House.

　I was dancing in a barrage of balls of light.
　The density and trajectory of the barrage is exactly the same as on the third basement floor, the difference is that this one is a physical attack, and it's almost ineffective against me, who has S strength.

　So I dodged, not take it, I dodged it.

　45, 46, 47, 48.......

　The more monsters I didn't defeat, the more monsters I would have to deal with.
　Eventually, I crossed the limit of what I could avoid and a ball of light started to hit my body.

　I was almost unharmed. I took a deep breath, re-partitioned, and started avoiding them again.
　Ina noticed, the same barrage, but where I didn't take any damage.
　I didn't have the idea to train here, I didn't have the idea to avoid it here because the idea that I could take a physical attack was ingrained in me.

　When I realized that, I trained here.
　The damage was almost non-existent and safe, but I avoided it in the same mood as I did on the third basement floor, "If it hits you, you'll take a lot of damage".

　The training lasted well into the night, and I was able to keep avoiding up to 60 of them without getting hit.
