 Vanadium, 4th floor underground.

 It's the hierarchy as it looked when I first arrived as Elythronium.

 There is a green lawn under a blue sky, as if to say, "Please join us for a picnic.
 The ground is like an archipelago, with a river running through it.

 The shallow levels of the vanadium have been converted into mansions for us to live in, so it's been a long time since we've seen this view, even though we've been living in the vanadium.

 By the way, we don't usually come down below the third basement level because we don't have anything better to do.
 I don't usually go below the third floor because I don't have anything to do there.

 I came to the fourth basement floor with Vanadium.

"Well, it's just as I described it before, okay?
...... (nationally)

 Vanadium clenches his fists in his small hands and is enthusiastic.
 It's easy to see why he's so motivated.

 Vanadium brought out the Dungeon Master.
 The Dungeon Master floated in front of Vanadium still, not attacking, but floating in front of him.

 It was exactly the same as when Nihonium had called out the Dungeon Master during Tennesin and made him stand on a stick.

 Even though he was the Dungeon Master, he was the monster of that dungeon.
 And the monsters of that dungeon listen to the orders of the spirits.

 The dungeon master of the vanadium was also called out and remained motionless in front of the vanadium, still and well-behaved.

 The breed improvement had already come many times.
 This time, in addition to that, the genie himself is helping out.

 By the way, it's not something you can just say, "I want this.
 It seems that the genie can only bring out "things that have existed in the dungeon so far".

 The soda water is not available because it didn't exist in the past in the erythronium era.
 I don't even know if I can produce it by improving the breed, but I'm going to try anyway.

 I was able to do it the way I'd learned in Lantern Dungeons in Filin's City.

 Get the dungeon master out, halt him, feel the change, and defeat him.
 It's exactly the same here.

 The difference is that this time I learned that the vanadium - the spirits are cooperating with me, and that spirits can produce things that were there in the past.

 Previous breeding efforts have always had one fear.

 When you got a good one there, if you overruled it, you didn't know if you could do the same thing or better than this.

 For example, I'm most confused when I get something that scores 89 or so.

 I want to aim for 90 in terms of points, but usually the next thing I stop doing is something in the low 40s.
 And it takes a long time to get it back to 89, and there's no proof that it's going to be 90 in the first place.

 I'd have a hard time just overwriting it and then coming back to this point again.

 I didn't have to worry about that at all this time.
 If the vanadium was there once, I could get it out.

 That's why we kept changing them. We continued to improve the breeds.

 Even if we couldn't produce carbonated water, which was our initial goal, if we kept releasing more and more of it, there was a good chance that we would be able to find some kind of water that could be used to make money when we examined it carefully later.

 With that idea in mind, he repeatedly improved the breed with vanadium.

...... (nicely)

 Halfway through, Vanadium grabbed my pants and looked up at me with a smiley face.

'What's wrong?'
...... (smiling)

 He doesn't speak, after all, but his expression is rich and his swagger is wide, and his feelings come through loud and clear at that moment.

'Are you having fun?'
...... (nationally)

 Vanadium nodded repeatedly, looking pretty for his age and really enjoying himself.

'If I had known this was going to happen ...... I should have had him do it sooner.

 I chuckled.
 I don't think it was a mistake to be persistent, but I wondered if I should have listened to him more.

 No, I'll do that from now on.

 I promised myself again that I would, and then I was tugged on my trousers again, gingerly.

 Vanadium held out a cup to me.
 There is water in the cup.

 Incidentally, there's one more thing that's different from the time of the lantern.

 After improving the breed, there is no need to defeat the monster to make it drop.

 The moment it was improved, that is, the moment it existed, it could produce vanadium (spirits) at will.

 The vanadium is then poured into a cup.
 When I received it, I saw air bubbles rising one after another from the bottom.

Yes, this is it.

 When I said that, Vanadium smiled even more happily.
