You're absolutely right, Master Sato.

　The president's office of the Terdungeon Society.
　Facing him, Cell nodded with satisfaction.

'Level 1 and F-final, with one of us in the party, is a requirement for admission to the Californium.
Is that why you asked me to do this?
Satou-sama's existence is truly a revelation. I met Satou-sama and made up my mind.

　That may be an exaggeration, but I see your point.

　It takes a certain amount of ability to solve the dungeon thing.

　Level 1 and f-final.

　It's possible to have high status at level 1, but there can't be a strong person in F-final, which means the lowest (,) status to begin with.

　I can understand Cell's story about how he decided to make up his mind when he found out that I'm at level 1 and have maxed out all my abilities (and broken the limit).

'But Level 1 and F Final, and a concentrated attack on them or ....... It's kind of revealing the character of the spirits.
Perhaps Satou-sama was right.

　Cell nodded with a straight face.

You are encountering spirits more often than ever before," said Satou-sama. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. I'm sure you'll find that these spirits are more human than you think.
Yeah, I think you're right.

　I meant it in a good way, I thought, but I didn't dare add it.
　I knew that Cell didn't mean it in a bad way either.

''Then I guess we'll just have to meet with the spirits in person and ask them for help.
I think so.
'Okay, I'll try. I guess we'll start off by encountering a rare monster in Kalifornium.
He's not there.
Hmm?
There are no rare monsters in Kalifornium.
It doesn't exist?

　What do you mean?　I look at the cell with my eyes.

'Does that mean, correctly, that 'no one has ever seen it'?
'I see. ...... Who's the dungeon master, by the way?'
It's a normal part of existence.
...... All right. I'll take care of that as well.

　　　　　★

Basically, it exists.

　Prumbum Dungeon, Room of the Spirits.
　As I visited for the second time that day, Plumbum greeted me happily and happily answered my questions.

'I knew you'd be there,'
''Mm. Especially the lowest level of rare monsters that are connected to the mistresses are basically present. If the spirits want to meet with humans, they'll probably increase their appearance.
...... I see.
What's the pause?
'Bana - I remembered Ellislonium. I think the reason I was able to get to her so quickly and easily is because somewhere in the back of my mind, I knew I wanted to be in contact with a human being.
I see.
Well, I guess.

　It may be a one-sided assumption, and as far as vanadium is concerned, let's keep things as they are for the time being.

''From what I hear, it's been decades since they've taken control of Californium. The fact that they haven't produced any rare monsters at all in that time period should be considered a dare by the spirits to stop them.
Can you do rare?
Hmm.

　As soon as Plumbum nodded, a new presence formed behind me.
　Completely off mode in conversation, I was slow to react and when I turned around, he was gone.

'...... I see,'

　I see what Plumbum is trying to say.

'Even if I have to put it out, can I just put it out where people can't see it and turn it off immediately?
The answer is yes.

　I see.
　If it's just a matter of that level of detail, it's probably a simple matter for the genie in the dungeon.

I see. Thanks.
If you have any more questions, feel free to come back to me.
Yeah.

So I'm going to stake out the californium and try to get a feel for it.

　The night saloon, I explained the situation to Alice and asked her to do it.

'I could sense a presence, even if it was only for a moment. First I want to see if there's a situation like that.
Mm-hmm. So that's why I'm going to stake out the house with you, Ryota?
'Yeah. I'm not even sure I have a full grasp of the monster's presence yet, but I'll be working out in the ...... dungeons while I work out. So the main thing will be on Alice.
All right, I'll take care of it. I won't miss any signs.
Hey.

　Once she and Alice had gotten their story together, Sakura spoke to her.

'What's up?'
Hey, you know what? I've got an idea.
"Ideas?
You know, games have a special ability to call monsters while standing in place?
Yeah, it's handy for leveling up and stuff.
You tried something like that.

　Sakura said, and then chanted Genesis.
　A box appeared from the sketchbook she was holding and it burst open.

　From inside the box, a fluff appeared.

'......!'

　I was so surprised that Vanadium, who had been relaxing at a distance, stood up quickly.

　The new mansion, Vanadium Dungeon.

　In order to make it easier to live, Vanadium usually has the appearance of monsters suppressed.
　And yet, Sakura forced him to call them out.

　It was obvious from Vanadium's reaction that she had forcibly summoned him by suppressing the spirit's control.

　Sakura saw that, too.
　She smiled at him.

'Sounds like it's going to work.'
Yeah.
