Why the shells?

　I pick it up and stare at it closely.
　It's still a little wet, and it's hard to open it because it's so tightly closed, but it's just a normal shell.

...... Okay.

　I redoubled my efforts.
　If this had been an easy way to drop bills and coins and such, it would have been a backwards place to shrug it off.

　Cell said, "You'll know it when you get in.
　And I'm the type of person who doesn't look at a strategy site until I've cleared it once.

　I put the shells in my Grand Eater's pocket for now and proceeded through the dungeon.

　But well, it feels ...... strange.

　Even though we are in a dungeon where monsters appear and drop, we look up and see blue skies, white clouds, and the sun.
　The dungeons up to now have been underground, towers, and so on, indoors, so to speak, in an enclosed space, so this californium is quite strange.

　We came to a T-junction in a giant maze, so we somehow turned right, as if we were turning our backs on the sun.

　There was another goblin at the end of it.
　The encountering goblin swung his club and came at me.

　While kicking the ground and dropping back, I intercepted them with normal bullets.
　Somehow I didn't take him down with a single blow, but instead knocked the club down and then shot him between the eyes.

　I wanted a change.

　The goblin fell, and with a clunk, the item was dropped.

''Eh?　It's not a shell: ......?

　What was on the ground was a white blob, almost as big as my palm.

　It was about the thickness of my wrist, with a thin, sharp tip.

'A tooth ......?　What teeth are these, they're small for ivory ...... and big for a lion or tiger.

　I decided that it was a tooth, a tooth of something more than a tiger and less than an elephant.

　Why a tooth, and why did a different item drop when it was the same monster on the same floor?

　More questions were raised.

　This would be more information, I thought as I moved further into the huge maze.

　The monster was a single type of goblin.

　Just like in previous dungeons, each individual has a slight difference in clothing - although it is a loincloth - but in terms of movement and such, it is basically the same goblin.

　However, the drop items were different.

　Turtle shells were dropped, furs were dropped, and bones of some sort were dropped.

　Could this be a dungeon where garbage is dropped from the beginning?　As I was thinking about this, this time a silk was dropped in "anti" or a whole cow was dropped.

''What the hell is this place?''

　I laughed bitterly, it was getting somewhat interesting.
　I've never seen a dungeon drop in such a disorderly fashion.

　This situation wasn't so strange if you think of it as multiple items dropping within a single dungeon.

　While most dungeons are tiered, that's just the way it is within the first floor.

　Maybe it's just that I don't notice it, and it looks like a giant maze, just like in a plumbing game, and it's divided into small blocks.

　But most dungeons have a "genre" of drops.
　It could be plants, animals, metals, and so on.
　There's something in common, and then they match.

　In this Californium, even that was disjointed.

　That was getting more and more interesting.
　There's a little bit of wonder in front of me and it's fun to figure it out.

　So I went around the dungeon.
　The Vanadium one helped me understand the structure of the dungeon, so I tried defeating goblins in the same or similar places.

　The results are the same - or rather, the drops are still disparate.

　Furthermore, I tried timing, but I tried to use the timing.

　I used accelerated bullets and set the exact same timing from the encounter - just one second for now, and tried to defeat it.

　I also found a place for the monster to regenerate, and then set the same timing from the regeneration - also one second, and tried to defeat it.

　But it's still the same, the drops are scattered.

'Is there any regularity at all?

　I don't think so.
　My intuition is whispering to me.

　I believe that intuition is an instantaneous total judgment that comes from a wealth of experience.

　My experience strongly insists that it's impossible for anything to have any regularity at all.

　That's why I kept going around the dungeon.
　When all the dropped items were available, and I started to see some shells and teeth and headgear (...), I slowly started to think that it might not be there after all.

　Then, a new item was dropped.

　It was a round object with a hole in the middle, about the same height as a child's. It looked like a big five-yen coin.
　It was made of stone, like a larger five-yen coin.

''A stone coin--ha!''

　Immediately after tweeting, I took out a series of drop items that I put in the Grand Eater's pocket.

　Shells, teeth, turtle shells, silk--.

　It all connected in my mind.
　Just like the stone coins, these were all things that were used as 'goods money'.

　In other words - they were money.
　These too were money.
