224. Salmon and fish




 Lantern Basement Level 2.
 Just like the first basement floor, it's a dungeon with a ninja house-like interior.

 There are many adventurers here too, and they are fighting monsters.

 The monsters are the same as the ones on the first floor, but their hair color, armor, and spears are all "ice" attributes.
 They are the footmen of ice, so to speak, and the one above them is the flame footman.

A series of attribute foot soldiers for a while.

 I guessed.

 The only reason I'm guessing is because, as usual, I haven't stocked up on previous information.
 Part of training and training myself to be able to deal with all kinds of situations is that most of the time I come to dungeons with no prior information.

 Encounter with an ice footman and pull out a gun.
 Headshot with a growth bullet, stronger than a normal bullet, and shoot him between the eyes.

 Pashan! And the liquid was splattered.
 It's the scent of wine, apparently the ice footman on the second basement floor drops the wine.

 I walk around for a while without a bottle and take down the footman.
 I catch the encumbered footman and shoot his brain with a growth bullet from close range.

 Pashan! and sipped some of the dropped wine with his hand.
 It was white wine, almost transparent to golden in color.

 He continued to take down several ice foot soldiers.
 All of them were white wine.

 Lantern dungeon, second basement level.
 The ice footmen's drop is going to be white wine.

 Now that I've figured that out, let's go to the third basement floor.

''Geez!''
There it is!
Somebody better find him and kill him.

 Suddenly, screams and shouts began to echo through the dungeon.

 The word "out," made me think of the Dungeon Master, but it wasn't.
 If the Dungeon Master had appeared, the other monsters would disappear completely from the dungeon.
 But that's not the case now, an ice footman is appearing in front of me.

 It wasn't a dungeon master, but the weapons the ice footman had were different.
 It had been carrying a spear before, but it was carrying a flintlock gun.

 He held it up and growled.

 I quickly dodged it, the speed of the bullet was reasonable, but not so much that I couldn't dodge it.

"Oh, come on,

 I chuckled a bit.
 The footman started to load the bullets.
 A flamethrower that only shoots one round and takes a long time to load.

 The ice footmen are fumbling with it.
 It's practically weakened compared to the spear, I thought, as I slowly raised the gun and blasted that guy with a growth bullet.

 There was a change in the weapon, but the white wine in the drop was exactly the same.

 I walked around some more, wanting to know what happened.

'Mwah!'

 We were in a large space - or rather, a room-like place.
 There were more than twenty ice footmen there for every one adventurer.

 The ice footmen fired their flintlocks.

 It's a single shot, extremely slow-loading flamethrower, but the numbers are staggering.
 The lead bullets flew at the adventurers all at once.
 The adventurer looks frightened, unable to fully react.

''Tch!''

 I loaded the two pistols with full conventional rounds and fired continuously.

 All of the bullets fired by the group of ice footmen were knocked down in the air.

 But that wasn't the end of it.

 The next round of fire came quickly.
 This was another violence of numbers, a series of shots came flying in like Nobunaga's three-stage shooting.
 Further loaded with conventional bullets, they all shot down.

''Wow, awesome ......''

 The adventurer who had been frightened earlier rolled his eyes.

 I move forward, shooting off all the bullets, and then I see another monster beyond the footman.
 It looks like a footman, but a bit of a pompous looking fellow.

'What the hell is this thing?'
"That's the rare monster leader of the foot soldiers. Defeat him and the foot soldiers will return to their spears.
I see.

 Was this what the first thing I heard, "Find it and take it down" was all about?

 I shot an annihilation round with flaming and freezing bullets while knocking down the three levels of flamethrower shots with normal bullets.
 In a situation where it would be complicated if he didn't attack quickly, he used an annihilation round that could deal a large amount of damage consistently from the first move.
 It was effective.
 The annihilation bullet swallowed the entire upper body of the Ashikaga Taisho, tossed down.

 The footman general disappeared and dropped something.
 At the same time, the footmen's weapons reverted from flintlock to spears.

'We're back!'
"Whoever you are, thank you!

 I heard words of thanks from all over the place.

 Firearm foot soldiers.
 As one unit, it seemed to be weakened, but as a group, it was perfectly strong.
 Rare monster Ashigaru General, the difficulty of the dungeon will increase when this guy comes out.

 While thinking about this, I picked up the thing that the Ashigaru General had dropped.
 It was a necklace, a silver wreckless in the shape of a fish.

''What's this?''
It's a drop from a foot soldier. They're rare, but they're not very useful.

 A frightened adventurer answered.

'What's not available?'
Put it on and try to beat the footman.
"Hmm.

 As I was told, I put on the necklace and shot down one of the ice footmen.
 I thought it sounded like a pashan--but it wasn't.

 There was a familiar sound, a clunk, and a piece of cheese dropped.

'Cheese?'
'When you're wearing that thing, the drops aren't booze, they're snacks. Of course it's different on every floor, but the people who come here aren't happy to see snacks dropped instead of alcohol.
Okay, so it's not like I can't use it.
That's what I'm talking about.

 The adventurer said, "Wow, thanks," one last time, and went back to his laps.
 I stared at the cheese I'd picked up and then popped it into my mouth.
 Well, it was delicious.

 Yup? White wine and cheese? What does that mean?

 With one expectation, I went back to the basement level.
 Lantern dungeon, first basement level, flaming footman.

 I put on the fish pendant and beat that guy. Then the edamame was dropped.

 White wine and cheese, beer and edamame.

 It was a rather interesting pendant.
