By the time I returned to the mansion, it was already nighttime.

'You're home, sir.

　Emily pattered to the front door.

'I'm home. Sorry, I'm late.

　It's some time after sunset.
　The time for dinner has passed and it's time to enjoy a prime-time program.

What do you want to do for dinner?
I'm getting some rest.

　Then, with a breeze, I let out the air in my lungs.
　Just being back in the warm, bright mansion that Emily maintains, warm and bright even at night, feels like a cure for my exhaustion.

'Miss Yoda,'
Yeah?　--eh.

　To my surprise, Emily hugged me without warning.
　I was standing, and naturally I sat down on the spot and got into a position where Emily held my head in her arms.

'Thanks for your help,'
Not really.
How hard is the new dungeon?
Hmm, yeah. That could be a problem. After all, the monster on the ground floor is dressed as Neptune and is stronger than Neptune.
It's a big deal.

　Emily said and gently nudged the back of my head.

　I calmed down.
　I calmed down and my exhaustion was completely blown away.

'I don't want you to be too reckless, Yoda,'
...... Did he look funny?
Mr. Yoda is very kind.

　Emily didn't answer directly, but I figured that might be the case.
　Neptune is in trouble, and I want to help it.

　In order to do that, we need to capture Tennysin, but that Tennysin is not a straightforward task.
　Still, I have to do it - and I was just thinking about it in the carriage on the way home.

'It's the same face as Yoda's when we met,'
That was worrisome.
Mr. Yoda will be fine, but I don't want you to do anything rash.
Okay, I'll keep that in mind.
Yes, sir.

　I stayed in that pose for a while, and then Emily gently released my head.
　After we got some distance, Emily was her usual calm smile.

　　　　　☆

　The next day, I went to Prumbum's place to make small talk for a while, and then came to the first floor of Tennesin via the transporter room.

　There are a lot of signs, and Neptune and the like are crawling around in the dungeon.
　You can defeat them by repetition, but you can't beat them recklessly because of what happened to the Stars.

　Let's go up to the top floor, aiming for the fourth floor.

　Feel the presence of the monsters, then run away from them as you go through the tower.
　I met a Neptune monster on the way, but I fired a straitjacket of reinforced bullets and escaped in the meantime.

　I was in a bit of a hurry.
　Even the best-enhanced straitjacket was only able to hold it for about three seconds.
　I'm afraid of Neptune's limits.

　Then I climbed up the stairs that I reached, the second floor of Tennesin.

　A monster immediately appeared.
　A pretty girl with green hair.

　It's a monster with the appearance of Neptune's companion, Ran Hydrogen.

　The Lan pseudo disappeared (,).

I'm fast!

　Quickly, he rolled across the floor and avoided it right next to him.
　A pickaxe swung down by a runner and knocked the floor.

'Is that your weapon of choice when you're fighting yourself?

　Power and speed.
　The runners pounced on him with more than he expected.
　He swung his pickaxe down to stand and tried to smash his head.

　The simple move was a threat, backed by high power and speed.

　If it's a basic spec, it's Dungeon Master level.

''But!

　He stepped in as he stepped in, and in turn, closed the distance and dove deep into the pickaxe.
　He raised his arm to guard the handle of the pickaxe.

'Emily can smash it with the hilt alone.

　Remembering my friends who use similar weapons, I took another step further and held the gun to them and fired a series of growth bullets.
　It's a growth bullet that has grown to a one-hit kill level, but the defense of the run-o-meter is also very impressive.

　It's as if it's a prying machine, firing many rounds into the same spot and finally penetrating.

　That's the only thing that kept me from falling.
　He pushes me away with a kick and swings the pickaxe out horizontally.
　I avoided the pointed tip with just a sway, and then stuck around for more and fired a series of bullets.

　After a total of ten rounds were slammed into it, the orchid finally collapsed.

　It drops with a clunk.
　The one that came out.

'A black watermelon, here's another unusual one.

　What the orchid dropped was a round watermelon with a slippery surface and shiny black color.

　It's a watermelon, but it's a very expensive one, and one ball would cost 10,000 yen.
　I've never seen one in this world before, but it was probably about the same price.

Is Tennessee a specialty food store with matsutake mushrooms on the first floor?

　I took that watermelon and went downstairs first.

　I used the transfer gate to get back to the mansion, then left the watermelon behind and went back upstairs to Tennysin.

　The condition of the transfer room is that you can go to the floor you've been to before, but when you go back, you can't go back to the floor you were transferred to.
　That also means you can't go back to a new level immediately.

　The orchid was formidable.
　Just in case of emergency, I'd like to make sure that I can escape from the floor I'm challenging by moving up the transfer gate like this.

　By the way, I brought back the black ball watermelon to bring it back to Elsa and Ena later.

　Use the transfer gate to get to the second floor of Tennesin.
　I can't take down the rungs too much and reduce the number of stars, so I avoided and avoided them and went up to the next floor.

　On the third floor of Tenesin, I came out and saw a beautiful woman with long pink hair.
　She is dressed in a bondage costume and is holding a whip.

　She looks like a queen.

　Lil Hydrogen.
　It comes with a genie approved by the genie of the same hydrogen dungeon as Ran.
　She's an ally of Neptune.


"d*mn!

　I was late to the party.
　One moment I thought Lil's hand was bludgeoned, and the next moment something wrapped around my neck.
　I quickly cracked my arm in.

　It was a whip that came wrapped around me.
　The whip wielded by the Lil guy wriggled like a living thing and wrapped around my neck.
　I managed to keep my neck from being strangled because of the arm I quickly put in.

　The lil guy pulled back, my body was being pulled away.

'You've got power too!'

　While screaming, he shot a growth bullet at the whip.
　The whip itself wasn't very strong, and I shot through it with one shot and tore it off.
　It landed with a half-turn in the air, but more whips flew in front of me.

　As it was, I dodged it by crawling on all fours with a bang and quickly kicked the ground to get away from it.

　The whip held by the lil guy had regenerated before I knew it.

　Change the bullets and put in a fireball.
　I shoot a tracking round and hit the whip of Lil's whip.

　The whip was shot out and torn off, but it quickly regenerated again.

'I see, so that's the kind of weapon you have.

　More whips flew, this time shooting both the whip and the lil' whip.
　The whip was shot at the Lil' worm and the whip was torn off again.

　The whip's strength is not so great.
　And.

'You can't move while it's regenerating.

　Do it three times and you'll see the trend.

　As long as he's regenerating the whip, Lil is barely able to move, standing on a stick.

　The power and technique of the lil guy is great, but his weapons aren't up to the task.

　I aimed at the whip.
　I shot at the whip just before it was ready to regenerate, and tore it open.

　I kept the whip torn off for a long time, and the lil' guy kept standing on his feet.
　While holding it back like that, I shot Lil' body with growth bombs.

　It was just as tough as the Rangmodo, but since it was standing on a stick, it was easy to defeat it.
　And so it dropped.

...... caviar?

　Tennesin, it still sounds like a high quality food dungeon.
