When we left the cyclone for a bit, we found ourselves in an endless, empty wilderness.

　Nothing is not a metaphor or anything like that.
　Literally nothing, a wilderness where all kinds of flora and fauna do not exist at all.

　The first time I came to this world and left the city, I was surprised, but I'm used to it now.
　This is a world where everything is dropped from the dungeon -- this is a world where everything is dropped from the dungeon.

It's no wonder there's nothing there. ......
Low level, it's not.

　It was Eve who responded to my tweet.
　She was one of the family members wearing her own bunny ears and a s*xy bunny suit.

　She said it in her usual low key, carrot-free tone.
　I tilted my head and asked her back.

'Not what?'
Sometimes there's something haggard out there. Someone's trash or lost property.
I see.

　When Eve told me that, I looked at the wilderness again.
　It's still an endless wilderness. Even the horizon looks beautiful.

　It's not so much a problem for a haggler or two as it is for such a large area.

By the way, why are you following me?

　I got my mind back on track and asked Eve, who was walking beside me, as she should be.

'Rabbit, I think it's about time,'
Ready?
It's about time I had a genie in my bonnet.
"Huh?

　I was surprised enough to open my eyes.
　The city I'm going to now, and the dungeon.

　From what I've heard, it's not a place that Eve, who has a carrot life, would be interested in. I don't think that becoming a spirit in that dungeon will improve your carrot life.

　And yet, Eve was in a groove.
　It may look like a low-tension dilemma, but after a long time together, you can tell.

　Eve has never been in a better mood.

I've been following you everywhere, so why now?　How's that blowing?
'Yes, the rabbit has wasted a lot of time so far. If we cooperated more with the lower levels, we'd be with the genie long ago.
Well, ...... maybe so.

　There are a number of people in the family with a genie, and given what Eve has done so far, it's not surprising that she would.

'If the rabbit becomes a genie on its own,'
Become?
Low-level and I will be able to breed carrots.
Oh, I see.

　In Cyclo and elsewhere, there are new rules about dungeons.
　Changing what you drop from monsters in the dungeon - you have to have two people with a spirit = two competent people participating to improve the breed.

　A lot of things happened, and as a result of all those things, those rules were made.

'I see, so that's it.'
Yeah, so,
But what if they don't follow you now?　We're going back to the mansion at least once after the dungeon opens anyway. I also have a promise to Plumbum. Shouldn't you have followed me after that?

　Eve shook her head in a pull.

'I'm all in this time.'
It's very motivating.
For the carrots.
As usual.

　I was still motivated, but reassured by Eve's unwavering commitment.
　I walked silently through the wilderness in pursuit of my destination.

　　　　　☆

　We came through the empty wilderness to a city called Hashemi.
　It's not that big, but at a quick glance there are quite a few adventurers in the city.

　The elderly man who greeted us at the entrance of the city called out to us, "I'm Aaron Flame.

I'm Aaron Flame, the president of the Hashemite Dungeon Association. I'm the president of this Hashemite dungeon society.
Ryota Sato. Nice to meet you.

　I reached out my right hand and shook Aaron's hand.

　Suddenly, I noticed that Eve was staring at me.

'What's up,'
Should I shake the rabbit's hand?

　Eve, the type of person who doesn't pay any attention to these things, said this to herself.

　I introduced Eve to Aaron, "She's Eve Kals leader.

"This is Eve Kalsleader. She's one of us.
'My God!　Even that Beau Parvinnie.

　Aaron was surprised, two names I'd never heard before.
　I knew it was called Killing Rabbit.

'I feel like the two names are getting more vicious.
I like the carrot-inoty rabbit best.
Yeah, I know what I'm talking about. That's the guy no one calls.

　Apparently it was a figurehead, Eve chopped me with a pout of her lips.

　I rubbed my forehead, which was a little sore, and turned to Aaron again.

'Tell me more about the story. Cell asked me for a reason, but I haven't been given any of the details.
Okay, so on the way to the Society...
Mr. Aaron!

　A young man appeared in front of Aaron, who was going to explain to him as he walked.

　He's well dressed, the image of a young businessman.

'Randall: ......'

　Apparently his name is Randall, but Aaron looked very complicated when he called that name.

　The reason - I knew right away.

"Is it true you're giving up milk?
Yeah, I can't do this anymore.
Why?
"You hear that, Randall?　The purchase price of milk is dropping every year, and already the adventurers in this city can't even sustain a minimum standard of living.
'That doesn't mean we're going to lose it and switch to another drop product. Calcium-produced milk has been well received in every town it's transported to. Just a little patience, and the price will come back directly.
You say so, but when is it going to happen? I've been saying that for a long time, but when is that going to happen?
It's time for us to endure the pain together. If we get through this, I promise you...
Oh, sorry.

　Randall, who was making a strong argument, and Aaron, who was giving up.
　I step in between them.

"What about you?
You've been consulted. I get it.
What did you say?
You're the fence, aren't you?　Or someone in a position to be the head of a buyer in this town.
What about it?

　Randall looked at me with the eyes of a suspicious person.
　I didn't mind that look.

'The thing is, there's no talk of raising the purchase price here, just the mentality of enduring the pain together.
It's a--
'It's commonplace for producers to cut unprofitable products and turn to other produce.
So long!

　Aaron looked happy, like he had seen the God of salvation.

'Yeah, I get the story. I'll take care of it.
'Thank you!　Thank you, Lyota Sato-sama!
Lyota Sato, right?

　Aaron was moved to tears and Randall was astonished.

　Thus I was contracted to improve the breed in the calcium dungeon.
