Calcium Dungeon, four underground levels.

　Eve and I proceeded through the dungeon, where the monsters had completely disappeared and the air was filled with a strange atmosphere.
　While descending the dungeon, we look for the dungeon master, and considering the purpose of this time, the preliminaries are a good place to start.

''Huns!''

　Eve was very enthusiastic about things.
　Or rather, she's snorting.

　Eve is motivated by this one, I can see that, but her motivation seems to be a bit different in quality than before.
　That bothered me, so I decided to ask her.

'What's going on Eve? You're more excited than usual.
'Rabbit, I heard about the dungeon master here.
Yeah.
I will never, ever forgive you.
'What?　Why?
It's a--

　Just when Eve was about to answer, the presence of the Dungeon Master in the dungeon became even thicker.

　Just when I thought it was coming, it came.

　The one that emerged from the bend in the corner had a bull's head, a macho human body, and a huge double-edged axe as a weapon.

　The Minotaur. The name naturally popped into my head.

　This guy is the calcium dungeon master?

''Tenchu!''
What?

　Eve pounced on the minotaur as he rattled off lines that he would never normally utter.

　The chop that he released while fleshing out seemed to be the slowest thing he had ever done.

　Eve's hand blade.
　It's the same phenomenon as a fan blade slowing down in reverse; the slower it looks, the more powerful it is.
　Eve's chop, which looks slower than ever before, struck the minotaur's axe - and while shattering the axe, it was swung down even more, blowing the cow's head straight off.

''Huns!''

　Beside the giant body collapsed and shook the ground, Eve was snorting again.

'Oh come on, a blow?'
Of course, that's divine retribution.
As you said before, what's the point of the Tenchu?
"You're a cow and you eat the flesh of humans you've beaten.
I've heard of the Minotaur.

　It reminds me of the mythical Minotaur.
　It's a pretty cool guy who kills and eats men and rapes women.
　Well, ninety-nine percent of the characters in myths are pretty cool.

He is a herbivore and eats meat, even though he is a cow. You are a disgrace to herbivores.
Oh, that's the way it is.
So that's the Tenchu.

　Eve was sniffling, but defeating the minotaur seems to have lifted her spirits somewhat.
　He's lounging on his chest next to the corpse of a fallen minotaur whose head has been blown off.

'But ...... a human body on a cow's head? The teeth are an herbivore, but the digestive system would be an omnivore. Wouldn't it be better to give them carrots or something to eat?

　As I looked at the corpse of the Minotaur, I tried to do a stiff examination of fantasy, with no dreams or hopes.
　Eve immediately countered that.

'Rabbits can eat the most carrots.'
'Don't give me a line like that nu*** type. I mean,

　I looked at the minotaur and suddenly associated it with the carrots that Eve is obsessed with.

'What about centaurs and such?　She's a horse-mate, so carrots are pretty good.
Cupine.

　There was a strange sound, and Eve's eyes flashed mysteriously.
　Oh, this is a matter that shouldn't be delved into too deeply.

　I know I'm bringing it up myself, but let's digress.

　Do you have a story to tell?
　So I looked around and down at the dead minotaur.

"...... Huh?　Funny.
He's a disgrace to himself and to everything else.
No, it's not that, it's that ...... is not going away.
What?

　Eve nodded her head, and that Eve turned to the minotaur, too.
　Yes, it's not gone.

　I defeated it, but the minotaur didn't disappear.
　It's not just the headless, seemingly macho-men's corpse that falls and doesn't disappear.
　And the ...... presence is not gone either. It's still the same as when the dungeon master was there.

　No way - the next moment I thought - the situation moved.

　The minotaur's corpse slithered up.
　The neck grew back, the shattered axe was restored.
　As it was, he swung the axe and cleaved it with a tremendous force right beside him.

''Eve!''

　It was Eve who was targeted.
　That Eve reacts and shoots a hand sword at the axe to intercept--

"Yikes!

　Hand and axe collided and the axe swung out as hard as it could.

　Eve was blown away by the liner trajectory and ran into the wall of the dungeon.

'Eve!

　Eve collapses to the ground limp and unconscious.
　There isn't much in the way of external injuries, only damage from being smashed.

　The minotaur rushed forward with his axe at the ready to chase after that Eve.

''Can you let me go!

　He pulls out his two pistols and fires a series of regular bullets to stop the rush.
　He flicks the bullets with his axe and intervenes between the minotaur and Eve, who have slowed down.

　I confront the minotaur head-on - I'm surprised.

　Before I knew it, it had grown a head - and not only that, but it was mechanized.

　It's metallic in color in places, and it's kind of sharp in some places.

　The new head that had been replaced looked like a cow at first glance, but it's now completely mechanical itself.
　Mecha-Minotaur, that's the word that came into my head.

'If I defeat it, it will transform?'

　I tweeted, but the situation didn't stop there.
　The Mecha-Minotaur roared up to the heavens with its axe in its hand.
　After a roar that shook the dungeon, something was summoned around it.

　What came out was a smaller minotaur. A lot of it.
　The same cow head and human body.
　Seven of them were men and seven of them were women.
　In total, 14 mini-minotaurs appeared.

"You're going to summon them?

　Firing a series of regular bullets to test it out.
　Quick fire & quick reload.
　In an instant, I fired dozens of bullets into the mecha minotaur.
　Most of them were bounced off the axe, but one shot grazed my macho arm, which was thicker than my thigh.

　The bicep ripped open and blood sprayed out.

　Even with the mini, the damage seems to go through the big book's mecha minotaur.

''-- Then!

　Ignore your surroundings and catch your head!
　I rushed in a straight line towards the mecha minotaur.
　The axe's horizontal cleave comes.

　A blow that blew even Eve away, and even though it's a force SS, it's not a good idea to go along with a meatball fight.

　I shot a scrap round.
　A scrap shell in line with the trajectory of the mecha minotaur's axe.
　A scrap shell that was not pushed by anything and just went straight, and played the axe of the Mecha-Minotaur.

　The axe bounced back loudly, as if it had been punched and bounced off a wall, and the mecha minotaur lost its stance.
　It dove into it at once. Slipping past the stick-standing mini, he ducked into his pocket and hit the two pistols and fired a series of zero-range shots!

　Countless bullets penetrated the body of the mecha minotaur. They messed up and blew it up.

　I immediately kick the ground to get a distance, and stand in front of it so that I can protect Eve.
　I look at it, the mechanical minotaur does not disappear.

　Instead, one of the minis approaches, and the mechaminotaur grabs it and bites it on the head.

'Hey, hey ......'

　After munching on the mini, the mecha minotaur recovered to a completely unharmed state.
　However, the part I blew up is also mecha-ized.

　The 13 remaining units roar and roar as well - they resonate.

I'm not going to be able to get out of it.

　Boom!
　The axe comes again, and is met with a scrap bullet.

　It's played as well, but the shockwave from being played is bigger than before.

'More power too?'

I have thirteen more transformations left in me--or is that the kind of character you're talking about?

　They get angry and attack.
　I shoot it and take it down. It eats another mini and revives & powers up.

　I tried attacking the minis in the meantime, but all my attacks were played.
　This one seems to be invincible.

　Every time I beat it, the mechanical minotaur powers up, its body gets more and more mechanized, and its defenses go up as well.

　It's also getting stronger at an accelerated rate.

If you're only pushing for power!

　No matter how much the power increased, it was no match for the scrap bullets.
　I continued to play it with scrap bullets as I matched the trajectory of my axe.
　The power of the Mecha-Minotaur continued to rise, but the gap between it and the bullets increased dramatically.

　At the end, the momentum of being hit by the bullets was enough to make it spin itself in the air.

　Using a certain absolute defense of the scrap bullets, I knocked down the mechanical minotaur 14 times.

''Well, how's that?''

　The stock came on and could not be revived, and the mechanical minotaur disappeared completely.
