When I woke up in the morning and left my room, I bumped into Ena.
　She blushed a little awkwardly as she bumped into me.

'Oh, good morning,'
Morning. You stayed the night?
Yeah, I was going to start out as a commuter.

　Ena said and looked around the corridor, or rather the mansion.

'It's bright here, and it's warm. It's comfortable and I can't help it. What can I say, it's like, once you're in here, you can't get out.
Yeah!
Wow.

　Ena was surprised that I had bitten off more than I could chew.

'It's all because of Emily. It's all because of Emily, all the comfort and coziness you'll get stuck in once you live here.
Okay.

　I start walking down the hallway, talking to Ena.

'Come to think of it, is the rumor true?'
"Rumor?
Tellurian dungeons have been cleaned out so badly, they say they took a nap with the slime.
It's true. I know what I saw.

　I stumbled upon the scene when I went to pick up Emily from the dungeon a long time ago.
　After I cleaned the dungeon to make it as bright and warm as this mansion, a space that emitted pure vibrations like a temple.
　I witnessed the scene where the slime gathered around Emily, who was so tired that she began to doze off and started to sleep with them.

　I thought at the time that I was a dungeon master in a different way, following the dungeon.

''Haha ...... that's awesome,''
That's great. People might think I'm the greatest person in the world, but Emily is the greatest person in the family.
I know something about it. Ryota-san's amazing performance must have come from having this house back.
Really!

　I got excited.
　I said, "Yes," and then stopped and turned her body toward me.

'So I'm going to stay here, and I look forward to working with you.

　Once again, Ina does so well and bows her head.
　This is how she came to live in the mansion.

　　　　　☆

　Nifonium dungeon, ninth floor underground.

　Fighting that way, circling the dragon zombies, looking for that optimization.

It's not going very well: ......

　I can take it down for up to two moves, definitively. It can be defeated with the Blue Flame Bullet Fusion Bullet, a flameless bullet that I found fairly early on.

　By the way, that flameless bullet.
　After fusing them together, they stay in place and become a source of sustained damage, but even if you just lead the dragon zombie to it, the count goes down by two.

　Attacked, not a movement.
　It looks like it's sensing the count on the attack itself.

　That's why you can't use flameless bullets on a 1-count dragon zombie anyway.

　It's not so easy, I thought at that moment.

"99?

　A new dragon zombie appeared in front of me, and the number on its head was 99, which I had never seen before.

　Everything so far had been from 1 to 5.
　After going around for a few days and killing hundreds of them, this is the first time I've encountered a count of 99.

　It's obvious that its appearance rate is less than 1%, which means--

'That's rare.'

　I found myself saying that my eyes would have gleamed.
　I held my gun up and fired a few regular rounds to check it out.

　The count was solid and reduced by the amount of attacks I made.

　I invited the dragon zombies to attack.
　A tail swing from a bite, a scratching with a paw claw, and a miasma spitting out a miasma to make it harder for us to fight.
　All the attacks I know, the style is exactly the same as the previous dragon zombies.

''As far as dragon zombies go, they're the same?　--Repetition

　When I used Repetition to confirm this, the dragon zombie collapsed.
　The fact that they can be defeated by the Repetition means that they are still ordinary dragon zombies.

　The count is 99, but other than that, it's no different than a normal dragon zombie - it's not.

　What a surprise.

　The stairs appeared.
　After the dragon zombies disappeared, instead of dropping dexterity seeds, a staircase leading down appeared.

''It's finally happening.''

　I thought it was going to be a little longer, but surprisingly the moment came quickly.

　I took a deep breath and went down the stairs.
　A white space, as usual, leading to the spirit room, one room in front of it.
　There was a huge block there.

　Rather than a block, it might be better to call it a single building.
　It was like a giant dice, five meters square.
　The material was somewhat creepy.

　A pulsating mass of flesh.
　A block that looked like a visceral dungeon, like a dungeon of internal organs, with the occasional motif of a creature's interior, like in a game or something.
　However, it was rotten.
　It's like a zombie-like crumbling flesh, that's what it is.

　The message was clear: Defeat it, destroy it, like the Nifongnium we've seen so far. The message was clear.

　I fired the first attack, a flame round and a freezing round, making it an annihilation round of fusion bullets.
　The extinction round hit - but nothing happened.

　The five-meter square chunk of flesh didn't get a scratch.
　I tried shooting every bullet I could, getting in close and punching and kicking and pushing with all my might.

　But nothing worked.
　No matter what I tried, I didn't feel like I could break it.
　The mass of flesh is completely unharmed, and it just keeps pulsating erratically.

　I feel like it's different somehow.

　It's different from any monster I've ever seen.
　There's no point in doing anything in a straightforward manner, I thought to myself intuitively.

　In that case, I circled the flesh mass halfway around and found what looked like a now-boat on the back side.

'......'

　Wary, I approached it and followed the familiar procedure. Then.

---1/2---
Level: 1/1
HP SS
MP SS
Power SS
Strength SS
Intelligence SS
Spirit SS
Speed SS
Dexterous E
Luck SS
--------- ...

　As usual, I got my status.
　My status at the moment.

　Immediately afterwards, the Now Board glowed.

HP SS

　The topmost number glowed first.
　As if in response, a chunk of flesh snapped and cracked in response.

MP SS

　The second number glowed, the chunk of meat glowing one more level.
　One by one, the statuses lit up, and with them, the meat chunks disintegrated.

　However.

Dexterity E

　It was a dexterous place, and it was "pinched" to see.
　The light was the smallest I've ever seen, and the chunk of meat didn't break.
　The light was the smallest I've ever seen, and the chunk of flesh didn't break, but the whole board disappeared.

　There would be nothing, just white space.

'I see.'

　There were many tricks in various dungeons after the transfer, but this is one of the easiest of them.

　A mirror, a grenade, and a sword.

　Those three are the SS statuses that will be unlocked.
　And a status that isn't SS and is an obvious failure.

　Dexterity should also be raised to SS, I could clearly see that.

'Let's give it to you.

　I returned the kibisu and walked back up the stairs to the ninth floor.
