Night, in the basement of the mansion.

　While all my friends are gathered in the saloon, I come here alone.

　I put some sprouts at a distance and wait.
　After a while, the slime hatches.

　The cute looking slime finds me and suddenly gets ready for battle.
　It quickly changed into a nasty face and flew at me while bouncing like a rubber ball.

　I avoided a body hit and shot a bullet as we passed each other.

　The slime that was hit by the bullet was blown wide open.
　It bounced repeatedly to the ground, the last bounce made me regain my stance, spin around in the air, and turn around to face me.

　The bullets were definitely in, but I'm pinned down.

'I think this might be the first time I've ever been in a damage system that didn't go down in one shot.

　I muttered and looked at the gun.

　The slime flew further.
　Anger, or the will to fight.
　It rose with a thud and hit me even more fiercely with its body.

　This time, it held two pistols head-on and fired a series of bullets.

　Pan-pan-pan-pan--.

　Bullets struck like a counter.
　One, two, three bullets--.

　Together with the first one, when the total number of bullets was twelve, the slime popped!　And then it disappeared and dropped a normal round of haglemono.

　Twelve rounds, Tennysin was right.

　Percentage bullets, or should I say infinite percentage bullets.

　A bullet that takes on Tenesin's 12 Stars and requires 12 rounds to defeat the enemy.

　Purely speaking, it's probably one twelfth of a round, or 8.3% percentage damage per round.

'I'd like to see if it's really a percentage. If it's true, I can grab all my buddies at ...... Margaret.

　Eleven shots will cause the enemy to die with less than 10% of their remaining HP.
　A reliable attack is quite valuable.

　This time I hatched a Dante Rock using a dandelion.

　Arsenic's monster, the one that doesn't attack at all.

　I'm not going to be able to get away with it.
　One ...... two ...... three rounds and so on.
　And after 11 rounds.

...... It's hard to tell from the looks of it.

　Chuckling bitterly, he approaches Dante Rock.
　While the guy is staring at me, I lightly poke him with my fist.

　I lightly poke it with my fist as lightly as I can with my force SS.

　With a light sound, Dantelec cracks.

Yeah, you're on the verge of death.

　I bring out the Dante Rock again, just to be sure.
　I hit him with the same force, this time he didn't go down.

　I fire 10 (,) percentage rounds and then poke him, he didn't go down.

'Percentage damage is a given.'

　I was pleased with the results of the experiment.

　Yes, what would happen if I put an enhanced bullet on it and shot it?
　Besides, what if we use fusion bullets?

　The properties of the proportional bullet sparked my desire for knowledge and curiosity.

　I was determined to get this new bullet naked as soon as possible.
　I worked hard all night to test it.

　　　　　☆

　Emily and Celeste watched Ryota's test from the entrance to the basement, at the top of the stairs, as Emily and Celeste watched him.

'Are you sure?　Let me do it. You've got his bad bug.
......

　Emily laughed bitterly.
　Her feelings were so mixed that she couldn't reply right away.

'I stopped when I started living with Yoda,'
'I know the feeling, he, when you're into something or doing something for someone else, it's easy to lose sight of your surroundings.
'Yes, sir. Yoda, you had such amazing dark circles under your eyes back then.

　Emily used two fingers to indicate the size of the dark circles under her eyes.

'So much,'
They said the bear would have to be gone before it could take off.
No, it's her disposition.

　Celeste sighed.
　She was one of the people Ryota had helped.
　And she's the oldest person in the Ryota family after Emily.

　Furthermore, she is always looking at Ryota because of her own thoughts.

　He knows very well that Ryota is a non-stop, broken-brake locomotive if he gets into it.

　So Celeste wants to stop Ryota if she can.
　That's why he's trying to get Emily involved.

　But that Emily.

'I can't stop it, sir.'
Why?
It's not the same as it used to be, Yoda, he's not about himself, he's working hard for everyone else.
...... It wasn't the first time.
Yes, sir. It's hard to stop Yoda nowadays. These days, spirits need to be able to take care of Yoda-san.
...... Right.
I'll be back in a minute.

　Emily said, turning herself around and walking down the hallway.

'Where are you going?'
I'm going to make some rice balls and send them to you. Yoda-san wants to, so I'll help as long as I can without falling down.
...... Let me help you with that.
Yes, sir.

　Celeste caught up with Emily and together they made their way to the kitchen.

　With the support of his friends' thoughts, Ryota grew even stronger.
