 Cobalt Dungeon, first basement level.

 All the mess at Samethrene has been settled.
 On the surface, it's just a change in the head of the association, but since they're going to send in a guy who can breathe on Cell's behalf as the next head of the association, Sametilene will have been swallowed up by Cyclo.

 That's why Cell is scrambling to stay alive.
 There's nothing more for me to do now that I've come this far, everything is settled.

 I want to resume my halted ability raising, and I'll be back to Cyclo tomorrow - so that's what I'm going to do.
 I've been thinking about turning iron into gold and having a banquet with Nicholas and the others at a familiar ground floor for our last day in Samerstyrene.

 The hunt went smoothly with the support of Leia, who had merged with me.
 Leia's ability to load bullets with her arm was quite helpful.

Master, we have three zombie demons in front of us on the left!
Yes!

 Leia was created to support adventurers, and she also comes with radar-like abilities.
 As expected, it's not as strong as Alice's. Alice's was not only able to use radar, but also predict its appearance, but Leia's was only able to use radar.
 You can only search for what's in the dungeon right now.
 They're still strong enough though.

 Furthermore, Leia's arm picks up all of the drops after you defeat it. He'll pick them up and put them in his pocket.
 All I have to do is get close enough for Leia's arm to reach it, and she'll pick up the rest on her own.

 When I get close to the drop in the game, it becomes mine on its own, that's how it works.

 Thanks to Leia, all I had to do was think about defeating the monsters efficiently.
 So I focused.

 Not to mention the highest efficiency of defeating monsters is Repetition.
 Without using repetition, I had to figure out how to approach the efficiency.
 I tried to kill it by trial and error.

 I shot guns, bullets, and other magic.
 I tried to focus on efficiency.

 The result of staying in Cobalt all day.

 Buyers 'Oshidori Battle'.
 While I was getting the iron I dropped today weighed in, I was studying Leia and the use of the item.
 Leia still had the stone on me, still attached to me, and I let her hold the stone on one of the arms.

'That's the Absolute Rock stone. When you use it, you can go into invincible mode. Use it.
Okay.
This is what happens when you use it.

 I hit the arm with quite a bit of force.
 It would have been easier to understand if I'd actually fired the gun, but it was in the store.

'--you won't do any damage,'
Yes, zero.
'Can you move in this condition? Do the radar and stuff work?

 When asked, Leia tried this and that.

'No problem master. I can use my powers other than attack.''
'Right, well, I'll give you that then. Make sure you use it all the time.
...... Got it.

 Leia stretches out her arms, becoming a hand armor and protector.
 From the side, it's a kind of light armor.
 That light armor has been given an added effect of full defense with absolute lock.
 It's not much of a benefit to me, but it's practically like a power up.

 I did a lot of things like that, and I was thinking about what else I could find in the item that would be suitable for Leia.
 After the tally was done, the man from the purchase shop returned.

''Sorry for the wait. Let's see, first of all, the purchase price of the iron today is 1 jin 18 piro.
A bit of a drop.

 The clerk nodded. ''Well, it's within the margin of error.

''So, the total you brought in was 3,841 gin in all, so in total--''
What?
What?

 I suddenly raised my voice, and the clerk was startled and made the same surprised sound.

''D-Do you need help?''
Right now, it's all 3,800 jinns: ......
'Yes, it is. I've weighed it out properly many times, so I'm sure it's correct.

 What's wrong? You look at me with a look that says "No, not that.
 No, that's not the point, I didn't bring a magic cart this time to begin with, so I didn't weigh it in advance.

 The problem is that ...... that number was more than triple the previous one.

 Three times.
 A few days ago, when Leia and I dove into the dungeon for the first time, it was roughly double.
 But today it suddenly tripled.

 It's true that today we only pursued efficiency as hard as we could, but even so, the triple figure was astonishing.

That's 69,138 piro in all.

 About 70,000 piro, that's quite a lot of money.
 But I wasn't looking at that number anymore.

 The highest efficiency I've ever had, three times that.
 And my highest earning so far is three million piro in Tellurium.
 Of course, there's the additional drop of Aulum, but the number excluding that is three million.

 Just over three times that.
 In other words, .......

 I got up and walked out of the store at a fast pace.
 No, I'm no longer running.

'Hey, customer! I haven't given you any money yet!

 I didn't even hear a voice calling from behind me.

'Master?'
I'm going back to Cyclo now.
Now?
'Yeah, I'll be in the dungeon as soon as I get back. Then I'll go as fast as I can, Leia, and I need your help.
...... of course, Master.

 Leia is feeling excited about being asked to do something.
 My tension was even higher than that.

 I was excited for the first time in a long time to calculate three times more than three million, a calculation that even a schoolboy could do.

 And so I took Leia and marched into Cyclo in a forced march, staying in the dungeon all day at the usual time.

 Me, for the first time.

 I had achieved ten million piro for a day.
