409. Matching three people




Carbon basement three floors.

 Here came Emily, Alice and Eve.
 Of the three who had come down from the upper floor, Emily and Alice looked around.

'Yoda and the others are gone,'
'Oops, they should have been here sooner.
Has something happened at the house?
I don't know.

 Emily and Alice nodded their heads at each other.
 The girls, Ryota, Celeste, and Vanadium parted ways on the basement floor.

 The reason is because they didn't want Vanadium to pass through the basement second floor.

 So, after separating at the first basement level, Ryota and the others, along with Celeste, were to use the transporter gate to fly back to the mansion once they got back to the third basement level.

 At that time, at Alice's suggestion, the three of us were going to head to the third underground floor on foot.

 It was agreed to meet up with them on the third floor, but I couldn't find Ryota and the others, who should have come earlier than using the transfer, but I couldn't find them.

But, you know, Ryota is here, so if anything happens, it won't be a problem. We'll just have to hunt it down on our own.
Yes, sir.

 With their absolute trust in Ryota, neither Emily, Alice, nor, of course, Eve was worried about them.

 The three of them slowly walked out and made their way through the pale, glowing dungeon.

'But Emily's trauma was strong, wasn't it? That dragon, Gau Gau, was a good match for her. It still wasn't as good as Emily, though.
"When I met you so long ago, I had to run away.
It was so traumatic.
...... Yes, sir.
Okay.

 Alice nodded.

'So it made a lot of sense to me that Yoda-san didn't want to take Vanadium-chan upstairs.
Yeah, there it is again.

 The three of them encircled the monsters.
 Emily held her hammer at the ready and Alice stood up from her fellow monsters' shoulders.

 The encounters were the same monsters as the two floors above.

'It's Emily again this time?'

 Before the monster transforms, the subject is known before the monster transforms.
 From there, the target transforms into the "thinker".

 It is easy to defeat the monster before it transforms, but it does not drop, so it is completely useless.
 The three of them took a precautionary approach and waited for the monster to transform.

Yoda-san!
'Ugh! T.O.!

 It was Ryota's appearance that the monster had turned into.
 Not just the family, but Sato Ryota, who was now one of the strongest class of all adventurers.

 Alice chanted All Might in a spinal reflex and summoned Ryochin.

 The moment Ryouchin emerged from the dimensional rift, he instantly killed False Ryota with a single blow.

'...... Huh?'
Low level two, we're early.
'What? Ah.
'Yes, the monsters here can transform their appearance, but they are weaker than the originals. Even if they're turned into low levels, they're much weaker than the low levels.
'Oh, I see, I know, I knew that upstairs. I did it. I used my dick once a day.
I can't help it, I'm in a hurry to think of Yoda as a partner.

 With Emily comforting them, the three of them venture further into the dungeon.
 After a while, the monster appeared again, this time changing to deal with Alice.

 The monster's transformed form was--.

''It's Yoda-san again.''
Me too? All right, come on, gawgawd.

 Gau Gau--Master Dragon returned to his original size and bit False Ryota in the head with a gulp.
 Although weak, False Ryota resisted by firing a series of guns from zero distance, but when Gaugau put more force into his mouth, his head was chewed up with a gurgling sound.

'Low level here too.'
What?
It's Yoda the Third Eye!

 Alice and Emily are surprised when they turn around.
 The opponent Eve was fighting was once again False Ryota.

 Eve quickly took out the fake Ryota.
 The sword flashed sideways, and the neck of the fake Ryota parted from his body and cried.

 The monsters were settled and the dungeon was at peace for the time being.

Are we all Lyota?
It looks like it.
What am I dealing with, a guy who thinks he's a leader?
I see.

'Huh? Are you guys alone?

 With a familiar voice, three members of the Neptune family appeared.

'Is he?'
It's not here yet.
Okay. It's a nice place, though.
What do you mean?
It's just-- oh, look at you.

 The monster appeared again.
 Neptune went towards it and approached it himself to become the target of the change.

 The monster changed.
 To my surprise, it took the form of two people, Ran and Lil.

'They are two!
Yeah, what do you mean?
I hear it can turn into your favorite person, here.
......
......

 Emily and Alice were speechless, and then they looked at each other, cheek to cheek, and smiled at each other.

'I see. ...... So that's what it's all about.
I'm convinced.
'Huh? But then--

 Alice turns around, remembering something.
 Eve should have been there just before, but - she wasn't.

 Eve, who had become the object and changed into Ryota, had disappeared before she knew it.

 Emily and Alice looked at each other and laughed as they played along.
