456. Party disparity




 I moved on to the next room.

'Geez!'

 I couldn't help myself.
 I felt goosebumps all over my body and wanted to make a U-turn right now.

 The monster in the third room was - "G".
 The spider came, then the butterfly and then, from there, G.

 It's not an unintelligible story, there's a few minor quibbles, but it's not unintelligible.
 But.

'You don't get that: ......'

 And it was a huge G that I wanted to complain about.

 Its size is not that big.
 Compared to a spider that was about the size of a car, G is about the size of a Chihuahua, so it's small.

 ...... That's why it's quite ku(,) to the spirit.

 It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
 It was crusty here and there.

 I pulled out my +10 pistol, loaded it with the strongest firepower growth rounds and shot the nearest one.
 And.

'Repetition! Repetition! Repetitionition!

 I fired a series of the strongest instant death spells and wiped out the G in the room.
 Even if it wasn't Emily, I wanted to get out of the mentally kooky room as quickly as possible.

 Even I can tell that I have a much more impatient (、、、、、、) look on my face during the repetition barrage.

 G was wiped out and I got one ticket as well.
 Mentally it's tough, but it seems to be no different than any other room I've ever been in.

 I picked it up and went to the open door - and I went to the other side of the door.

'Mmm,'

 A moment later, I was sent out of the dungeon.
 I was sent to the entrance of the dungeon, where adventurers were entering one after another in lines.

''Is this the end?''
Good night.

 I was called from the side, I turned around and saw Cell.

''I successfully completed my first attack--ah.

 Got it!

 A figure-sized statue fell from the cell's bosom.
 A figure of me with my hand out, chanting magic.

 It has effects on it, and I can see that it's a scene where I'm firing the same thing in rapid succession - but.

'No, it's not this cool!

 I shoved it in with a great shout, I got a lot of eyes around me.
 The cell I'm already making the one I'm firing a series of shots at G. I'm already making the one I'm firing at G.

 That's fine, but it's not this crisp and cool.
 Three lines swooped down on his face, and he must have looked pale and pathetic earlier.

"I believe that history is made by the winners.
There's no such thing as "cool"!
And how many tickets did Master Sato get?
Don't change the subject! Well, it was three pieces in three rooms.
Hmm. Well, I'll go in with you next time.
Hmm?

 I wondered what this was all about, but Cell grabbed hold and headed for the entrance.
 I followed him and side-stepped into the dungeon.

'Are you sure?'
It's not right for me to stand in line.
...... Well, yeah.

 While I squirmed slightly, I could understand why that would be the case in Cell's position.
 Swallowing it down, I looked around the room.

'Butterflies.'
I was told the monsters were random.
I see.
Clean it up, please.
Okay.

 I pulled out my gun and fired a series of tracking rounds.
 Just like before, the bullets and dodging butterflies went around and around, although they eventually hit.

Will it go down?
It's a little harder when you're at a party.
I see.

 I fired another tracking round, and this time I was able to take it down safely.

 The next shot was a tracking round, and then a well-aimed conventional round when he was cornered.
 Butterflies that couldn't dodge were hit by both tracking and conventional bullets at the same time.

Oh, that's great!

 I figured out a way to use tracking rounds to hit other bullets, so I used normal bullets to measure the "hardness" of butterflies - in other words, their HP.

 About 1.5 times as hard as when I was soloing.

 As I weighed it, the butterflies in the room were swept away.
 And a ticket was dropped - there were three of them.

'That's a lot,'
'Hmm. If you go in as a party, that's about 1.3 to 1.8 times the solo drop per person.
I see. Three cards for two, so that's a factor of one and a half.

 Then I thought, "Well, I guess I'd better get a party together and go--

"--!

 A scene came into my mind.
 Fearfully, I turned to the cell and listened.

Did you say 1.3 to 1.8 times?
Hmm.
Double that ......?
No.

 Cell stated once and for all.

''As usual, Satou-sama, I see you've already noticed.
...... Yeah.

 I furrowed my brow and nodded.

 The drop goes up when you form a party.
 But that means it won't be doubled.
 If it's a party that needs to be distributed, there will inevitably be people who can't distribute it evenly and don't get enough.

 Structurally, that's a problem.
