"What the hell is ......?

　Nihonium is stunned, with a look on his face that says he just doesn't understand what has happened.

''I'm a little surprised too,''
What?
That's what got us out of the dungeon and into the hands of others.
'Yeah, yeah. I thought I was doing it to make him suffer, and I got it.
I see.

　The dungeon master and the underlying stuff are the same.

　The dungeon master of Nifonium just exists, and it obliterates not only Nifonium, but the monsters in nearby dungeons as well.
　It is born from the refraction of Nihonium.

　It's hard on me, and you guys suffer.

　It's the result of that kind of thinking.

　And it's the same with this species.
　The lower the level, the harder it is, right?　That's how this seed was born.

'Mr Lyota, this is amazing.
It's revolutionary.

　Elsa and Ena, they said excitedly.

'Yeah, we've heard the story(,). It's going to be a golden play for a while, though.
Still, it's amazing what you've been able to do.
It's great that we went from impossible to possible.

　I nodded.
　They were absolutely right.

'What the hell does ...... mean?'

　Nihonium, on the other hand, still looks like he doesn't understand what's going on.

'I'd rather show you how to actually do it than explain it to you. Nihonium, can you get a lot of that stuff out of that thing you just did?
'What?　Yes. ......

　When Nihonium held out his hand, a large number of level-down seeds appeared.
　Not to mention, it's a pile of seeds with a ...... market value of about five hundred million yen, lightly over 100 ...... not to mention counting.

''The rest is ...... Emily's right for the job?''
I'll get him!

　Elsa ran off quickly, heading in the direction of the transporter room.
　A few moments later, she returned with Emily pushing a magic cart.

'What happened?'
'Sorry Emily, I'm at work. I need your help with something.
Yes, sir. I'm at your service, Yoda.
Thank you. As a matter of fact, I--

　I gave Emily a soft earful.
　She nodded her head yes and listened.

'All right. That's in storage.'
All right, let's see what's going on.
Yes, sir.

　Emily walked out of the buyout and came right back in.

　When she returned, Emily had a portable now board in her hand.

'I'll use it,'
Yeah.

　Emily checked her abilities on the portable now board.

'You're a refreshing power fighter any time you see one.
Yes, sir.
All right. Now, I'm sorry. You guys wait right here.
Yes, sir.
I'm looking forward to it.

　Elsa and Ena sent me off with a smile, as if they could see what I was about to do.
　Nihonium, on the other hand, who doesn't understand, has been scowling at me for a while now.

'What are you doing?'
I'll be right back.

　I said and left the buyout with the seeds, taking Emily with me.

　　　　　☆

　About an hour or so later, me and Emily were back at the buyout place again.

I'm home!
That smile was a success.

　Emily smiled more and more as Ena said this.

'Yes Nah!'
It's time for you to explain yourself.

　Nihonium has been waiting here for a long time while we were gone.
　She looked a little sad.

'I'm sorry, just leave me alone. 'Emily,'
Yes!

　Emily nodded and used the portable now-board she had brought with her again.

Is this one up at ......?

　Nihonium is surprised, while Elsa and Ena are.

'Congratulations!'
'That's great. If this becomes public, it'll fetch even more than it did earlier.

　He congratulated Emily with his mouth.

'What do you mean by that?'
What do you know about Sulphur?
Yeah.

　Nihonium nodded.

　Sarfa is a restricted dungeon that appeared a while ago in Cyclo.
　One of the main features is that if you go in, you don't have any weapons or tools, and you have to start over from level 1.

　It's been mentioned a few times when my friends and I have been gathering in the salon, and Nihonium has heard about it.

'I'm the one who improved (...) it further.
My seed stock is back. The sulphur was still there.

　I see, I knew you were referring to Sulphur.

What about it?
'Yeah, there was some information that came up from an adventurer who joined Sulphur that said there would be a difference in the ability increase when you level up.
Makes a difference ......?
'Going back to level one, the levels go up in the dungeon, but often times there is a difference in ability when you get to the same level. I've done some testing and found that there's a subtle difference in the increase with each level up.
What about it?
If you always pull the maximum upside down, it makes a difference in the strength of the same level cant. Remember what happened to Tennysin last time?
...... original talent limit.

　A murmuring nihonium, me nodding.

'That's what I mean. I'm sure there are other factors, but that's the state we're in when we level up and always subtract the maximum. And that's what Emily is now.
What?
It's this one.

　Emily held a different one in each hand and thrust it in front of Nifonium.

　Her left hand was a leveled down seed of Nihonium and her right hand was a crystal.

'What's this?'
Experience crystals. I had no use for them until now and they were worth two bucks, so I had a bunch of them in storage.

　I say, and Emily uses her seeds to lower her level and use the portable now board.

'I'm at level 39,'

　Immediately afterwards, I spend the required amount of experience crystals and use the portable now board again.

''Now it's up again--oh.

　Emily, who looked a little troubled, soon found out why.

　My luck went down a notch from the limits I'd arrived at after many examinations, and I was back to normal.

If I couldn't pull off a good one like this, I had to start over.

　Emily had to do it a few more times, and on the fifth time, she was able to pull a lucky A again.

'I can do this: ......'
Yes, I can.

　I stared straight at Nifonium.

'What you lower is rather pleasing to the eye, depending on how you use it.

　Nihonium's eyes snapped open in disbelief.
