I collect today's accelerated bullets from the monster village and return to Indor.
　The dungeon and my mansion are connected to each other, but the monster village doesn't have a dungeon, so this move is a pain in the ass.

　The accelerated bullets are valuable and powerful, though, so I'll collect them even if they're a bit cumbersome.

I've never been here before, but...
Yeah?
'That's amazing. The monsters all looked at Lyota-san with respect.

　Celeste, who had followed the village of monsters with us, said sincerely.

'They were all Cerberus.
'Sure, they're all hagrems, and since they're all of the same height as Cerberus, it might look that way.
And they're doing a great job.
I guess that makes me Celeste's junior.

　Celeste smiles serenely.
　She used to work as a trash disposal worker, not getting into dungeons because of the low drops and poor mileage in combat.
　It's the same job that that monster village does.

'I've heard about it, but it's a much more impressive gathering than I expected. A picture is worth a thousand words, and that's exactly what it is.

　It's called blotting out again.
　I guess it would have been easier to visualize it if I showed it in pictures or videos.
　This is a world where all kinds of things are dropped, but as you would expect, such machines don't exist worldwide, so there's no way to drop them.

　No?　I don't have a camera, but maybe I can make something with camera capabilities.
　I'll ask Mr. Orton from the modified magic cart.

Yeah.
What is it, Celeste?
There's a plantain over there.
What?

　There was a monster that looked like a "treasure chest" at the tip of Celeste's finger.
　The so-called mimic-like appearance, the lid of the treasure chest was open, and inside it was pitch black, with sharp fangs on the edges.

'Hagremonos?'
No, it's a tacarabacho.
Isn't that the same as Hagremon?
''Yes, it's the rarest of monsters. If you defeat anyone, the items will drop, but what they drop depends on the person.
To each his own?
It's so rare that it's not well-researched, but there's a theory that it's a memento that drops and is reborn from memory.
A souvenir drop.

　That's interesting.

Let's take it down.
Yeah.
'Does anyone drop it?　Even outdoors?
'Yes. Takarabako drops something no matter where and who kills her.
Do you want to try Celeste?
I'm good.
Yeah?
'Because with memories, you might drop ...... Mr. Lyota or something Lyota-like: ......

　Celeste mumbles something to herself.
　I didn't quite catch it, but I'm sure it's showing some difficulty.

'All right, I'll do it then.'
Yeah.

　I pulled out my gun and fired a regular round, just to test the waters first.

　Palin.

　The takarabako made a beautiful sound and shattered like glass.

''Huh?　Yo, weak?
Apparently so. It's a monster that anyone can beat and anyone can drop. If only they could meet them.
Really?
"And those fangs look sharp, but they're not sharp at all. They're like sponges.
...... reminds me of a monster called Presenter back in the day.

　So it's a complete bonus.

　A shattered takarabako, something dropped.
　I walked up to it and picked it up, lying on the ground.

'...... that's my phone.'

　I turned it over and looked at the back, a scratch I put on it the first day I bought it, a scratch that I regretted for a long time as a waste.

　It was definitely my phone.

What's that?
Yeah, it's called a phone, but it's ...... powered on. Can't catch a signal as expected?
Mr. Ryota?
Okay, Celeste, you just stand there.
What?

　I held my phone up and took my distance from Celeste.
　With the activated camera activation, I got her in the frame and focused.

'Yes, cheese,'
Cheese?

　Celeste looks puzzled, and I click the shutter.
　I confirm that I've taken the picture and show it to Celeste.

"Hoi,
Yes ......, me?
Yeah, it's called a picture. This eye-like lens is the ability to draw a picture of what you see in the moment you look at it.
'Wow ...... I've never seen anything like this before.'
You can make a video of it.
'Wow, ...... I've never seen anything like it.'
'Oh!　What was that?
Video. It's not a moment, it's a scene from a certain time period, with audio.
'So that's one of those things: ...... This is Lyota's remembrance?'
...... Well, yeah.

　I fiddled with my phone and somehow deleted all the emails that came into my eyes at once.
　I erased that of my bad memories of working for a black company.

　For that, I'm convinced that this phone is still mine.

'So it's Takara Bako,'
Hey, Ryota. Do you have any other memorabilia?
In its own way.
Something as great as that?
...... It's a good one. There are all kinds of things we don't have over here. There's no point in microwaves and ...... Emily's rice, though, because everyone eats it before it gets cold.
Yeah. Hmm, I'm looking forward to running into Takara Bako again.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

　I agreed with Celeste, but tucked the phone into my pocket for now.
