124. Door that does not open




 The basement of the mansion.
 There is nothing in there, just a large space.
 Combined with the location of the basement of the mansion, there's an air of mystery, as if a secret society is about to open its doors at any moment.

 I was standing there alone.
 While I'm waiting (、、、、、), I check the size of the basement.
 The rectangular structure of this room is roughly the size of two tennis courts.
 Since it's so spacious, it seems to have many uses.

 A haggler hatched on the other side of the cellar.
 Slime hatched one by one from the sprouts I'd left behind, and they were coming at me.
 I pull out my gun, aim and shoot.
 One shot at a time, the bullets went through all the slimes and took them down, causing them to drop their regular bullets.

 I turn around and look at the entrance leading up.
 I have my friends waiting up there. I asked them to come in if they heard any noise.
 If they don't come in, it seems to be soundproofed enough to keep the shots from leaking out.

 I fired another conventional round, right after I fired it, I went around at full speed and grabbed the bullet.

 Speed SS, at too long a distance, you'll be out of breath, but at this short distance, you can go faster than a normal bullet.

 Next I fired the scrap bullets.
 It went out of the way and flew at 5 cm per second.
 This one went around slowly, and I hit the occasional punch with all my strength after I swung at it.

 The shockwave spreads, the sound of explosions ringing out.
 Even though I hit him with that much power, the bullets kept going at their own pace, 5 centimeters per second.

 It's an amazing bullet, in a way, though I don't have much use for it.

 And I'm sure of it.
 He was sure that no matter what he did in this basement, it wouldn't leak out or get in the way.

 10LLSDK's mansion, the entire Lyota family has moved in.
 The mansion that was erected in the city's prime location was quite expensive.
 Two million piro a month. The currency of this world, Piro, is worth about the same as Yen, so it's the same as living in a house that costs 2 million yen a month.

 Two million ...... is about the same amount of money as I made when I graduated.
 I can't believe I can live in a mansion worth that much .......

 Once again, I was sincerely impressed with myself.

 Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted Emily.
 Emily is hugging a mountain of fabric.
 It was interior decorations like sheets and curtains.
 I'm going to be able to hold them in my arms and walk into the room one by one.

 She looks busy ...... but she looks happy.
 Emily has a troubled look on her face with a furrowed brow, but the corners of her mouth are fixed in the shape of a smile.

 As a housekeeping enthusiast, she's probably screaming with joy to be able to do this and that in her new home.

 Thanks to Emily Takumi, I'm excited to think that tomorrow this mansion will be transformed into a bright, warm, and, what a surprise, warm mansion.

 Without disturbing Emily, I decided to go around to my friends' rooms.

 The nearest room was decorated with Eve's nameplate.
 I knocked and got an answer, so I opened the door and walked in.

'The low level is here,'

 Eve inside was wearing a pair of stuffed pajamas.
 It was bright white and fluffy and it was a rabbit.
 Eve wasn't wearing her usual bunny suit, she was wearing a stuffed rabbit.

'You had clothes like that too? I don't know if I've ever seen Eve in anything other than a bunny suit before.'
The rabbit wears a rabbit.
I'm lost.
"Rabbit in Rabbit.
It's a Matryoshka.

 Eve is a beastie who grows her own rabbit ears. She may be dusty about being a rabbit, or she just loves being a rabbit, but she always appeals to people that she is a rabbit.
 In the first person, he's a "rabbit".

Low level, what can I do for you?
I was wondering if you'd fit in nicely in your new room.
No problem. They're bringing in the carrots.
Yeah, just a normal room except for the carrots.

 I looked around and saw that the room was rather normal.
 There's a shelf, a chest of drawers, a desk by the window, and a single bed.
 It's a bit tasteless, but it's a rather normal room.

 Half of such a normal room was occupied by carrots.
 Thanks to that, the 'normal room' has been transformed into a 'carrot warehouse'.

''It's very Eve-like in a way,''
You can't give them carrots.
Don't eat too much and be hungry.
If a carrot is the way to die, then so be it.

 He says in his usual undulating tone, but with a slight flush on his face.
 It's horrible that he really thinks that.

 I resign from Eve's room and knock on the next one.
 Alice's name plate is displayed.

'Whoa,'
It's me.
'Lyota? Come in, come in.

 Invited by the friendly and amiable Alice, I opened the door and walked in.
 To my surprise, the room had been given a major makeover that even Takumi was blue.

 The concept was a dungeon.
 Alice's room was like a miniature sized dungeon.
 The dungeon is littered here and there with honked, pulled, and bonbons.
 My first impressions were surprised, but when my fellow monsters are there, they instantly look like it.

 Suddenly, I remembered my friend who filled his house with plastic rails.

Welcome, Lyota.
'My God, did you do this to yourself?'
'Yes! I brought it in from my last room.
'I see. I guess the hone-hawks will be more comfortable this way.
Actually, I'm more comfortable with it.

 Alice laughed at that, and laughed kerfuffleily.

'There's something about a dungeon-like room that makes me feel more at home than a normal room!
Maybe it's because I was born in a dungeon.
Maybe!

 After a quick look around, we left Alice's room and headed to the next room.
 Celeste's room was next.

 I knock and call Celeste.

'Ryota-san? What's the matter with you, all of a sudden?
I was just wondering what's going on in Celeste's room.
My room? Wait, wait, wait.

 I stood there and waited a bit as Celeste stopped me.
 I could hear quite a few noises coming from inside.

 I know this sound, I know the thing very well.
 It's the sound you make when the opposite s*x suddenly comes in and you're in a hurry to clear the room.

 It's not like he's hiding an erotic book ...... and I waited for it to happen.
 It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

"Do come in.
Sorry to disturb you, sir.

 Enter the room, it was a beautiful room.
 Or rather, it was just a normal, beautiful room.

 It wasn't like Eve piling up carrots like a mountain, or Alice converting her room into a miniature dungeon.
 Celeste's room was supremely decent and clean.

 If I had to say so, it smelled nice and girly, which made me a little uncomfortable, but it was a nice room in general.

'It's clean,'
'What? Oh, huh, the room.

 Celeste panicked for a moment, then replied calmly.

'I just brought my old room in as it was. It's a little bigger now, and I'm trying to figure out what to do with it.'
Yeah. It's good that it's spacious. I'm glad you like it.
'Of course! I'm not complaining about the room Mr. Lyota lent me!
Thank you. ...... Yeah? What's this piece of cloth?

 I could see some fabric in the closet.
 Had he shoved it in there with the current cleanup?

 For a moment I thought it was some kind of underwear, but from the material it doesn't seem to be anything like that.
 It's a thicker cloth, not appropriate for clothing.
 When you pick it up somehow, you can see ...... poof! And the closet opened.

 Instantly, there was an avalanche. Something came crashing down.
 I was buried in it, apparently crammed to the limit, but I touched it a bit and it collapsed.

 I'm buried under something and can't see anything.

'Kyah!'

 Celeste screamed. He pulled me out of the scream and pushed me out of the room with his momentum.

 Slamming the door shut. After shirking it, I hide it behind my back.

'Hah ...... hah ......'

 And then, out of breath, what the hell was that?

Did you see it?
'No, nothing. ...... What was in it?'
'Yeah, that ...... so! Underwear. It's underwear! I've shoved all my undressed underwear together and Ryota, you're falling apart.
......

 I'm not sure that's enough, Celeste.
 I know you're trying to hide something, but what's the point of being a woman if your excuse is underwear?

And I'm very happy with the room anyway, thank you. Bye!

 Celeste swooped back into the room at once.
 Suddenly, he noticed that something had landed on the ground.

 Picking it up, it was a stuffed animal.
 It was a palm-sized plush toy, just like the ones you get at Price's. It was my plush toy.
 It's my stuffed animal.

 .......

 It reminds me of Celeste's panic, the look on her face earlier when she used her underwear as an excuse.
 I'll pretend I didn't see it.
 With that in mind, I put the stuffed animal in its place and quietly walked away.

     ☆

Mr. Yoda!
What's up, Emily?

 I was wandering aimlessly through the mansion when Emily came to me.

'There's a room that's a bit weird.'
Weird room?
This way.

 Emily turns herself around and walks away. What kind of room is this, I say, following her.

 We came to a room at the back of the mansion.
 It's a room with a door that opens out onto a carabiner.

'This is it.'
What's going on in this room?
It doesn't work.
Bad? Let's see: ......

 I'm about to open the door, but I immediately notice something wrong.
 I sticky touch the door and look at it from top to bottom.

'Yes, sir, there's nothing on the doorknob or the keyhole or anything else.
A door that's so flat, you don't even know it's there. It's like a painting of a door on a wall.

 There was nothing there, so I pushed it to test it, and the door didn't freak out.

'Isn't this just a wall?'
That's what I thought, too: ......

 Emily stood in front of the door and banged on it hard.

 She'd dived into the dungeon a lot, so she knew it in one shot.
 The tapping was light, and it was the sound of a hollow - a space - on the other side.

'There's a proper room, sir.'
Looks like it: ......

 I pushed it just to be sure, it didn't move.
 I tried pushing with my shoulder, it still didn't move.

 It's still a wall, isn't it? And that's when I thought.

'Ah.'
What's going on?
When Mr. Yoda just pushed with his body, it opened up a bit of a gap.
What?

 I look at the door in amazement, of course there's no openings now.
 I pressed my shoulder against it again and tried to open it with all my strength.
 Then Emily was right, the gap opened up a little bit.
 As soon as I moved away from the door, that gap was gone.

'It really did open up a bit,'
Are you sure it's just a very heavy door?
Looks like it. I'll try to push harder.

 I sat down and pushed as hard as I could.
 There was a little more space than before, about a coin's worth of space.
 That was the limit.
 Even if I pushed as hard as I could for ten seconds, so hard that I felt as if the veins in my head were going to break, I could only open a gap of a single coin.

'It's too heavy, it's wrong that even Yoda-san's power SS can't push it open.
It's not like I'm going to have to push and pull.

 It's a door that doesn't have a handle or anything like that at all to begin with, you can only push it.

 Emily and I tried pushing it together.
 Even if we both pushed with all our might, Force A and Force SS, one at a time, the door only opened for one more coin.

 The door that can be opened by a forceful push, but we can't open it with our own strength.

'I'm in trouble ...... It's not good to have a room that you can't use ......'

 Emily is depressed.
 She loves housework, and the fact that there is an unopened room in the house seems to cause her quite a bit of stress.

 She's wondering what's going on.

'Yes, there it is.'
Yes?

 He pulled out his gun and showed it to Emily, who tilted her head back.
 I loaded the two pistols with scrap bullets and pulled the trigger with them pressed against the door.

 The bullets shot out, moving forward at five centimeters per second.
 The bullet that pushed everything away and traveled at five centimeters per second was no exception at this door.

 The door gradually and gradually opened, and eventually it opened enough for a person to pass through.

''It's amazing! It's open, Mr. Yoda.
Got it open somehow. Now let's see what's going on inside.

 I entered the game with high expectations for my hard work.

"Please specify a dungeon and hierarchy.

 And then I heard a voice from somewhere in the room.

'Who is it? Where are you?
"Please specify a dungeon and hierarchy.

 If you listen to it, you'll just hear the same lines.
 What does that mean? He wants to set up a dungeon.

 Let's give it a try.
 I'll load the gun with a round of special ammunition, no matter what, and then I'll answer.

"Nihonium, Basement Level One.

 Instantly, the scene in front of me changed completely.
 I was in a room, and in an instant, I was in a dungeon.

 A dungeon that looked like a limestone cave, and a skeleton coming from the other side.

 It was like I was warped to the basement level of Nihonium, just as I had specified!
