459. Devil descends




It's been a long time.

 From a distance, in spectator mode, Aulum opened his mouth.

'Did you know that, Aulum?'
Yeah. I had a guy come to my place with it. I thought my place would be even better.
'Yes, Aulum's drop is golden. Actually, though, I can see how it's promising.

 My friends began to ramble around Aulum.
 I was thinking about the monster from earlier.

 That was a ...... monster.

 It was an infantryman with a platoon's worth of modern equipment - it was an infantryman, but it didn't have any light in its eyes, and it didn't bleed when it attacked.

 I felt quite uncomfortable with the fact that they were undeniably human in appearance.
 It was an all-ages version of a grotesque game - an opponent that felt so unnatural.

''Hey, hey, what dropped when you were Au-chan?''

 My thoughts were brought back to reality as the word "drop" entered my ears.
 Everyone else seemed to be the same, and their gazes were all focused on Aulum at the same time.

 By the way, the guys now had no drops, probably because all of their friends had defeated them.
 I looked at Aulum, wondering what I got ...... if it was a drop S. I looked at Aulum, wondering what I got.

'I don't know, I wasn't interested or anything at the time.
Okay.
...... probably wouldn't have dropped much of anything. Or not at all.

 Aulum said after a thoughtful look.

'Why is that?'
'The fact that you left your ticket with Mr. Lyota is proof of that. No matter how much Mr. Lyota, from what I've heard, this is pretty important.
"Mmm-hmm.
'But I still gave it to you, it's okay to give it to you. I guess it's because I'm high on the idea of not dropping it. Besides,
And?
'If they're going to drop elsewhere, no matter how tightly they're controlled, there should be some adventurers who will divert and do it elsewhere. And yet we don't hear about these things at all.
Now that you mention it, I've never heard of it.
I've never heard of it.
Where's Eve?
"The rabbit doesn't know.

 Celeste asked Eve, and she answered languidly.

 Eve had the most career among her friends, and she was still a bit mysterious.
 If anyone knows something that everyone else doesn't know - then it's Eve.

 That Eve, too, has assured me that she doesn't know.

''That means it's not something you would normally drop after all.

 Celeste summarized, and all of her friends' eyes were on her at once.
 I looked at him for a moment, but I soon found out.

 They don't usually drop.

 Behind those words, it's connected to the Drop S.

 Understanding that, I began to wonder.
 What would I do? If I beat that one in a dungeon other than Kalifornium, what would be the drop?

'Hey hey Lyota, let's try it.
Do you think he's stopping me?

 You mean that guy - the cell.

'No, it's not.'
Then let's do it. Do you have the ticket?
It's gone.
'So, fermium? Let's go to.

 Alice said, and almost all of her friends looked at me with excitement.

     ☆

 Fermium.

 Using the transporter gate, I came with a group of friends.

 Emily, Celeste, Alice, and Eve.

 The entire group of adventurers came together.

 Later, I would regret this day.

...... destruction.

 More than the huge G's crawling around, there was a tremendous murderous atmosphere at my side.
