Calcium first floor.

　I entered the dungeon from the transporter room, and I immediately encountered a monster angel.
　She had wings on her back and was armed with a sword and shield.
　On the other hand, unlike before, the level of exposure has definitely increased.

'Repetition--is it normally no good?'

　It's obvious, so I quickly move on to my next move.
　I duck further beyond the sword slashing at me, grab my face and lunge at it, slamming it into the wall to stop it from moving, and then I make sure to make a zero-range headshot.

　The angel falls and a chunk of meat drops.
　It's beef, but when I held it in my hand, the milky smell was on my nose.
　It looks like it needs to be improved again, but for now it's more than that.

'You're getting the meat right,'
Rabbit, I'm not gonna lie.

　Eve protested to me as she came into the dungeon late.

'Sorry, I don't think you're lying, until you've seen it for yourself properly.
Still, it's rude to be low.
Sorry.

　When I looked her in the eye and apologized properly and firmly, Eve forgave me--

"A day's worth of carrots.
Okay.

　Formerly, he forgave me for the carrot.

'Well, it's nice to be different, but I'm in a bit of a bind.
What's bothering you?

　I glanced at Eve's breasts.
　Big, revealing breasts in a bunny suit.

'Boobs aren't free,'
I'll show you the carrots.　No, that's not what I'm talking about.
?

　Then what?　Eve nodded her head in agreement.

The improvement is a success, and that means you beat the Minotaur, right?
"Bovines are not the enemy of rabbits.
It's good that you beat him, but you didn't get the bovine doll.　That means I can't do the next one, so I'm not sure what to do about it.
It can wait.
I suppose I have no choice.
In the meantime, I'm going to get some rabbit carrots.
It's just so godd*mn consistent.

　While smiling at Eve, I take the transporter gate back to the mansion.
　I'll leave the improvements until the next minotaur comes out naturally.

　But I was itching to do it.
　Back in the mansion, I was itching to get back to the mansion.

　Eve and I split up and went into the saloon alone and sat down on the couch.
　I took a break, but the itch was getting stronger.

　I knew I could do it, and with Eve's success, I knew it was possible to improve, or at least turn, from milk to meat.

　And yet it's hard to do anything but wait.
　I feel like I'm waiting for stamina to recover naturally in a shaggy game.

　I'm sure I can complete it in one more time, and I can't do it because I don't have the stamina.
　That's a very hard thing to do.

　I can't stand still.

　No, I can't wait.
　If I hadn't seen the possibility at all, I might have been able to wait, but seriously, Eve's success makes the itch too strong to wait.

　I got up from the couch and headed out of the salon to the buyout place.
　The sign out front had changed.
　It used to be "Tsubame's Benefit", but now it's a new sign that says "The Golden Tree".

　When I walked in, I saw only Ena was there, polishing the golden statue of Aulum.

'Yo,'
What?　You're early, Ryota.
A bit. More importantly, do you have that golden statue from Hassemi?
No, no. Elsa and I talked it over with Aurum, and we've decided that we're going to have one of these in every one of our shops.
'I see, that's good. Wouldn't it be better to try a different pose or something anyway?
Yeah, it's a lot clearer when you know there's more than one.
''That's true, and maybe eventually people will make a trip to all the golden statues, like a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
Maybe we could make a stamp card or something in the shape of a golden statue for each branch.
It's basic to stir up a collection drive.

　I had some rambling chatter with Ena.
　Most of the ideas for the second half of the day, and most of the ideas were questionable as to whether they were really necessary for a buyer, but we got excited and got in the air to say the ideas when they came up anyway, so we continued.

　After a while, I started to explain again why I came.

"I need to get some stuff for you.
What?
"Calcium Dungeon Master Drops.
That's it.

　Did you know about it from the beginning, or did you get the information because I'm involved in calcium now?
　Ena knew about it.

'That stuff is soooo expensive, and it's not even available in the first place.
Are they so rare?
That's true, too, but they buy it all up, the rich. Especially the non-adventurous rich.
...... I see, it's a stock in life, isn't it?

　Ena nodded clearly.

'It's an amazing thing that money can protect you from bad luck. That's true. Basically, it's the kind of thing that you can't buy, even if you have the money, and it's always at market value when it comes out.
Well: ......

　I don't know what's going on.
　I'm rather annoyed that I can't buy one even if I had the money.

　I guess I'll have to wait after all: ......?

...... No.

　I just came up with one possibility.

　　　　　Stars

Will it be enough?
......

　I was so poked and prodded that I could see it for myself.

　The president's office of the Cyclodungeon Society, and facing me there is the president, Cell Stema.

　Cell, who seems to have the most money of anyone I know, and looks like a nobleman.
　I figured he'd have it, so I came to ask him to lend it to me if he had it.
　By the way, the reason I say borrow it is because if I do it, I can get it back from the dungeon master, so I can return it after I've spent it.

　That's what I thought, but as soon as Cell heard the story, he laid out a total of five of the cow models I wanted on the table.

'If that's not enough, I'll have them raided.
No, no, no.

　I asked Cel back, trying to keep the melody from playing out in my head.

'Why did you have it ready?'
I know everything there is to know about Master Sato.
Ah, .......

　I'm pretty sure this guy is my stalker.
　So it's not surprising that he knows.

All right, I'll take it.
No, I'll give that to Master Sato.
You're going to get it?　I've heard this is very expensive.
'I know what Satou-sama is doing now. If it succeeds, it will create more benefits and possibilities than these five.
I see.

　I don't know what the profit is, but it certainly opens up possibilities.

"Mr. Sato is the only one who can do it. It's a far too cheap an investment.

　I've been lifted again.
　I don't feel bad about it, but I'm starting to feel like I have to succeed at whatever it takes.

'Okay, I'll take it.'

　I accepted the model cow and decided to leave the association building at a quick pace and hurry to get to Calcium.
