"Is it true, Eve?
Rabbit, don't lie.

 Eve puffed out her chest and humph! I snorted.

'I went through the whole thing with the guy I was working with before.
Those guys: ......

 I remember when I first met Eve.
 Eve's former companions, some of them must have been rather garrulous and some of them polite.
 I heard that the team was dissolved after that, due to a "dungeon-ness disagreement", but yeah, they were trudging through a cyclo dungeon at that time.

'But which five are the five? Cyclo has six dungeons now.
What?
'Tellurium, silicon, Arsenic, bismuth, borane, and nihonium. Those six.
'Come to think of it!'

 I've never been to Bismuth and Bolan, just to hear their names. But I often hear their names in my daily life, or in the conversation around me at a buyer's or tavern.

I'm sure you'll be able to find it. It's also under Cyclo's jurisdiction now.
'I totally forgot about it! Yes, that's right, Seren also has a total of seven in the Cyclo dungeon.

 Me and Emily looked at Eve in unison. Eve answered again with her usual scant expression.

'Five other than Selenium and Nifonium. Selenium is new and far away, and Nifonium doesn't drop anything.
I see.
'But I'm surprised. I thought Eve had only gone to the carrot level.
Not really.

 Eve said and walked into the room.
 As it was, she used the function of the room and flew somewhere else.

''Dude, where did you go?''
Come on, ......?

 I waited for a quizzical Emily and Eve.
 After about three minutes, Eve came back.

'Eve!'
Almost there.

 Eve said and disappeared again.

'What's going on?'
I just had a yellow one in my right hand.
The yellow stuff?

 Do you have one of those?

 I nod my head, I don't remember it well because it was just a moment.
 After a few moments, Eve came back again - and immediately flew away again.

'She's gone again, sir.'
'I could see it this time. You had a yellow one in your right hand and a green one in your left.
Yes, sir.

 It was only a moment, so I couldn't discern what I had, but I guess the yellow one is the one that dropped the first time I flew to it, and the green one is the one that dropped the second time I flew to it.

'Is the yellow one and the green one or ...... the red one or something else coming next?'
What do you mean by that?
'You don't know what a traffic light ...... is, do you?'

 Emily nods her head.
 Come to think of it, I wonder why traffic lights are generally called blue when they're green for all intents and purposes.

 After waiting some more, Eve came back.
 It wasn't red that she had more possessions, it was yellow again.

'I'm back.'
Is this a banana ......?

 Emily tilts her head and Eve nods her head in a small way.

'Rabbits don't just get carrots, they can get bananas too.
Why did you choose bananas? Do you like bananas?
Normal. But bananas are all the rage right now.
Boom?
'Bananas make people into a**h*les. Only when you count bananas do people become a**h*les.
What is this?

 I wasn't sure what he meant.
 Such Eve took out a carrot from inside the stuffed animal.

 It's the same gesture as a beautiful woman in a rider's suit taking something out of her chest, but in reality she took a carrot out of a stuffed rabbit.
 There's nothing s*xy about it - or rather, it's a good thing.
 If you take the carrot out of the bunny suit, it's not only not s*xy, it's vulgarly shaking out the meter.

 After taking out the carrots, Eve opens her mouth as if she's counting them.

'Carrots, carrots, bannuah!

 I went from counting normally one carrot and two carrots ...... to counting normally, only to get a funny look on my face and turn my voice inside out when it comes to bananas.

'Carrots, carrots, bannuah! Carrots, carrots, bannuah!

 Like Eve said, I only turned into an idiot when I counted the bananas.
 Me and Emily were pouting. Is this the kind of character Eve is?

...... joke.
Yeah?
But bananas have the power to make people into a**h*les. Just have a banana for dinner and, wow, everyone will be an a**h*le.
It sounds like a badly done diet ad.

Eve, please give me that banana. I'm going to make a cake and we're going to eat it together.
"Mmm. ...... and carrots.
Yes, and I'll make a carrot cake for Eve.
At ...... half and half.
It's a rajah.
......

 Maybe you like bananas a lot as well as carrots ......?

I'll get you some eggs, flour and sugar. I'm going to use fresh ingredients to make a delicious cake.
That's your choice.

 Eve went into the room again and flew to the dungeon.
 The dungeon and the room of the transporter. She went back and forth between them a few times.

 Then they had a set of ingredients for Emily's cake baking: flour, eggs, and sugar, and Emily's presence.

'Flour and sugar are good, but you had eggs too?'
That's a drop from the Big Frog, upstairs at a manganese I used to go to.
Big Frog ...... frog?

 I took the eggs and stared at them.
 .......
 No matter how you look at it, it's a chicken egg, not a frog egg.

 Emily took the egg from me and ran to the kitchen with a pat on the back.
 Looks like we'll have some good cake later.

 Eve with fresh ingredients in a flash, and the transporter room.

 We had the power to get to all the levels of Cyclo in an instant.
