458. One break




 We used the gate to get back to the mansion (Vanadium) in the evening and met with our friends in the saloon as usual.

 Almost everyone is here today.

 Emily and Celeste, Eve and Alice's adventurer group.
 Elsa and Ena's merchant group.
 The spirit/monster group of Aurum, Nifonium, and Vanadium, plus Sakuya and Meeke and Cerberus.

 Almost all of them were gathered together.

 Among them, they had gathered the adventurer group and placed their tickets on the table and surrounded them.

''I see, this is the rumored ......
"You know, Celeste?
'It's been a long time since Cell approached Lyota. I'm doing some research.
I see.

 That's what the family lives for.
 In the beginning it was only Cyclo, but recently I've gained knowledge of other dungeons.
 He must have done a lot of research.

Do you want to use this to reveal monsters?
Yeah, that's a different kind of monster, too.
Another dungeon?
'To begin with, I dropped it in the fermium and used it in the californium.
I see!
I thought I'd give it a try, and I got one - okay, vanadium.

 Vanadium, who was chewing on Emily's homemade potatoes at Aulum and the others, nodded coyly.

 I'm afraid of humans, but this is a vanadium that doesn't show any negative feelings at all when it comes to being a monster.

''All right, let's use it then. Everyone stand aside for a moment.
Okay.

 Emily lowered the tea set and plates from the table.

 I used my ticket like it was daytime.

 The salon--the mansion--the vanadium dungeon.

 This is the "dungeon" where I spend my daily life.

 When I used the ticket, a rift was created in the space.
 A monster came out of it--.

''What!''

 I was greatly surprised.
 What emerged was an opponent unlike any other monster I've ever seen.

 A full-face helmet with only the eyes, a vest that is camouflage but clearly shows its bulletproof function, and an assault rifle in its hand - a modern weapon.
 And the assault rifle in his hand - a modern weapon.

 Infantry.
 Land forces.

 Various words came and went in my head, but that was the kind of opponent I was dealing with.
 That's twelve people - one team, that's how many.

"Human ...... No, my eyes are dead.

 Immediately after Celeste's words, the opponent moved.
 He raised his rifle and pointed it at me.

"Everybody look out!
「「「「--! 」」」」

 Immediately after I shouted, the adventurer group scattered in unison.

 When they landed, Emily brought out her hammer by the wall, Alice summoned her fellow monsters, and Celeste brought out her countless string-operated bicorn horns.

 The enemy pulled the trigger, countless shots were wooded and bullets flew wildly around the salon.
 As intense as the attack was, everyone's reaction was amazing.

 Emily instantly leapt and swung her hammer down from the sky, and Alice summoned her Gau Gau and blocked all the bullets with her massive body.
 Celeste knocked down all the bullets with her bicorn horn, and Eve dodged all the bullets while chewing on a carrot.

 The counterattack was also almost reflexive.
 After dodging all the first bullets, they all fired back in unison.
 The soldier-type monsters, which had a dozen of them, were swept away by the four of them in a matter of seconds.

 By the way, there were no drops.

''I was surprised.''
You have some great flying tools. The same as Lyota's.
'The continuous firing power was better over there. Wouldn't that be even stronger if Lyota-san had that?
...... carrots.

 Everyone was talking about their impressions of the current enemy.

 By the way, not to mention the genie group, Erza and Ina were also watching the game, looking relaxed and at ease.

 I was a little relieved to feel their trust in their friends.

''Oh, my tea was spilled.

 Emily noticed this and called for vanadium.

'I'll make you a new cup of tea. A glass of water would be appreciated.
...... (nationally)

 Vanadium nodded and held up his hand.
 But the monster was not.

 The Banasium dungeon, the water-dropping, fluffy monster was not.

'......?'?

 Vanadium stares at his hands and wonders.

'What is it, sir?'
It's that thing you just did. 

 I chuckled and taught Emily and Vanadium.
 I actually put into practice what Cel had told me and experienced firsthand how bad it was.

'If you put that thing out like you just did, that dungeon will be free of monsters for a whole day - and production will stop.

 When I said that, my friends looked at me like, "What?
