We've figured out the monster's attacks and characteristics, now let's defeat it and see what it drops.

　Whether it's from the bottom floor or summoned along the way, we'll have to conquer the dungeon to some extent based on our previous experience.
　The monsters have to be defeated to some extent.

　I pull out my two pistols and aim at the fluff coming over the creek.
　Since there are just two of them flying at me, one of them is a growth bullet that has now grown to a one-hit kill-grade power, and one is a normal bullet that is now the weakest due to the inflation around it.
　I loaded each of them and used them differently and fired each of them as a means of checking the HP of the cotton hair.

''Mph.''

　I was a little surprised to see that I was able to take out the cotton wool with a single shot, not to mention the growth bullets, but even with regular bullets.
　Is it still weak because of the fact that it's a basement level?

　With this pattern, it's possible that the power of self-destruction depends on the maximum HP or the remaining HP.
　I knew I had to be vigilant about that as well as the ability decline.

　The next moment, I was even more surprised.

　The two fluff that I defeated, each dropped an item.
　A rectangular piece of paper, fluttering down to the ground.

　It was a familiar one--a pillow bill!

Do you drop money here too?

　I bent down to approach and picked it up, wondering with raised eyebrows - and then I picked it up.

'Hmm?'

　I could see the wrinkles between his eyebrows getting deeper and deeper.
　The moment I bent down, I felt uncomfortable with the bills.

　Something was wrong, something was wrong.
　Just before I touched it, I stopped and stared at it, trying to figure out what the discomfort was.

'...... fake bills?'

　The more I looked at it out loud, the more clearly I was convinced.
　The two fallen 10,000-piro notes look like that from a distance, but when you look closely at them up close, they look somehow fake.
　They appear to be poorly made color copies of children's banknotes ...... or worse.

　Of course, I've never copied a banknote before, but it has none of the unique three-dimensional effect of printing that banknotes have.
　Instead, all that's left is the flatness of the color copy.

　Why counterfeit bills?
　I wanted to understand it, so I picked up the bills to observe more.

'--!'

　The moment I touched it, it was sucked into my palm as if it were melting.
　Nihonium seeds.
　It felt the same as that one, sucked into my hand.

　And - a feeling of weakness.
　A tremendous feeling of weakness washed over my entire body.

　As expected, I already knew, I checked it on the portable now board.

　All power has been taken down another notch!

　I pick up another one of the remaining cards.
　It feels exactly the same, sucked into the palm of my hand, with all of my combat abilities at C and all of my drops at S, but at -5.

　Booby Trap.

　The drop is cash - and if you pick it up in a woozy way, you'll fall prey to even more ability loss.

　Self-destruction is also reduced in ability, and dropped booby traps are also reduced in ability.
　Consistent erythronium peculiarities.

　I can feel the maliciousness - and I thought.

'Help me: ......'

　I heard that voice again.
　The exact same voice I heard when I was in the calcium room, and the same kind of content.

　The characteristics of a dungeon are greatly influenced by the spirit's feelings and personality.

　Such as Nihonium's "I want to make everyone around me unhappy too" and Seren's "double swords".

　Erislonium's peculiarities.
　He wants help, but more than that, he rejects all of them.

　A traumatized little child seeking salvation.

　Somehow, such an image popped into my head.

'...... means I just want to get rid of them.'

　I'm more and more convinced of this in words.
　I turned myself around and left the dungeon once I was out of the dungeon.

　My friends were still waiting outside.

'Yoda-san!　Are you okay?
Yeah, I used a lot of portable now boards. Do you have any more?
I'll bring it to you.

　Emily dashes over to grab a new one from inside the mansion.
　So I check it out.

'Huh?　Mr. Yoda, did you use Quicksilver on yourself?

　Emily wonders.
　That's just as well, because all of my friends know I didn't have to use it on myself.
　They wondered why I used it.

　And that makes it all the clearer.
　Erislonium just wants to get rid of the intruders, and the debuff effect disappears when I leave the dungeon to reflect that. Only my Quicksilver is left.

　I still can't leave ...... alone.

'I'll wrap it up later, I'll go again.
Yes, sir.

　I stepped into the dungeon again.
　At that moment, another feeling of weakness hit my whole body.

''I see.''

　Checked with the portable now board I replenished, and when I came back, the debuff was back too.

　I don't know if it's like this all the time, or if it disappears over time or something.
　What I do know for sure, or rather, I'm even more sure of it, is that the nature of erythronium is that it's a defense mechanism.

　The nature of erythronium is that it's self-defense.

　.......

　Which is to say.

　I thought maybe it was, I'm not sure, but maybe it is.

　The cotton wool fluttered across the river again.
　It's coming at me in a straight line.
　I - I threw all the tools I had towards the entrance. I threw it outside.

　The two pistols, the portable now board, the stone of absolute rock and every other item.

　I threw it all out of the dungeon.

　Unarmed.

　I was now unarmed with no weapons or items at all.

　Disarmed.
　A gesture of non-hostile intent.

　Erislonium only eliminates enemies, and if that trait was true, it wouldn't attack an unarmed opponent.

　And that was correct.
　Immediately after he became unarmed, the cotton wool stopped in place and only floated in a puffy fashion.

　My guess was right, and my resolve was even stronger.

'I'm coming,'

　I remained unarmed and headed for the next floor.
