230. Risemara




 The monsters around them change as the fused flameless bullets continue to burn the Dungeon Master/daimyo.

''Repetition!''

 I defeated the Daimyo by Repetition safely and reliably.
 I was beaten by the dungeon master with a huge amount of MP, but I've gotten used to it, and I almost unconsciously shot (injected) myself with infinite recovery rounds.

 I looked around, crawling with gilded looking footmen.

 This is the first monster I've seen since the ecosystem changed, Repetition doesn't work, so I shot it down with a growth bullet.

 I took the dropped liquor into a bottle and offered it to Eric and Mao.

''Oh no, it's brilliant.''
I'm totally groping the Dungeon Master.
It's more of a drift than a gimmick.

 With that, the two men began to appraise the new sake.

''This is ...... refined sake, isn't it?''
Kun Kun Kun: ...... I'm 56 points.
56 points ...... not so good.
Yes. It's messy, and it's not very nice to look at.
Okay.

 I nodded. I went through the breeding procedure once more.
 After keeping the Daimyo's drop at a distance, I shoot a flameless round of fusion on it.

 In that state, I wait while sweeping up the small fish monsters around me.
 After a while, the air dodged again and Dungeon Master Daimyo hatched.

 The Daimyo was burned by the flameless bullets, taking half of his body and stopping his legs to regenerate.

 He waited even more in that state, continuing to shoot infinite recovery bullets at himself, restoring his MP to his full SS capacity.

 I see that the monsters around me have changed and repetition more.

 I hand them both a new drink.

'It's beer, with a hint of coffee.
I got a 93.
Not bad, though: ......

 Eric glances at me.

"I know what you mean. Well, since you're here, let's try to make the most of it.

 I said with a smile.

 It's called a resumption of a game.
 It's a random result after a certain procedure, but you can make a new result by doing it again.

 If you can do that over and over again, it's better to stick with it until you get a good result.

Are you sure?
It's a long shot. And that's not much of a strain.
Hawa: "Hawa: ......
You are very good, sir.

 The two of you are impressed, put it down for a moment and take another round of the Daimyo Sake resealers.

 They put down the drop, shoot flameless bullets, wait until the ecology changes after it hatches, and then defeat it with Repetition.

 It's a resemara that takes roughly 15 minutes each time.

I'm at 42 points.
No.
88 points.
Not bad, but he scored a 93 once.
Score one.
Out of the question.

 He continued to work with the two of them to improve the drink.
 Mao was okay with just smelling it, but Eric's face gradually turned red as he took a sip each time.

 The resumption didn't go very well.

 My status, which according to Mao was an A Max - actually an S Max - didn't help much.
 I tried it once, though, and beat two of them and got two of the same ones out.

'They're both 70 points,'
''So you can get the highest rank out of this monster, but you can't control the changes from the Dungeon Master.
'The ecological changes will be untouched by Satou-sama, and he's just watching over them.
Yeah, of course.

 In the end, I came to the conclusion that I had to keep resuming and shoot for numbers.

'It's the same as it was earlier at 93 points ......'
This is ...... a difficult decision.

 I got a 93 after about 20 attempts, the highest score I've ever gotten, but I didn't think anything of it and went into the next reseller procedure.

 Not an outlier, but a result that came up once.

 Since I went in to persist, I needed to get at least a better result than that to be worth it.
 With that thought in mind, I continued with the resumption of the game.

 I'm getting much more tired, and both Mao and Eric are talking less and less.

''Fifty-two.''
"Beer,

 I started to say the minimum amount of words.
 Still, I keep going, I can't back down when I get to this point.

 And that's when I didn't even know how many times I was going to do this.

'Ugh!'
What's up, Mao?
It's good!
"Oh?
'This is ...... literal nectar, isn't it?'
'Yes! It's a hell of a drink.

 The quality is such that two exhausted people can regain their energy at once.

'How much is it?'
He scored 120!
I've never tasted anything like it.

 Their assessment was much better than I expected.
