536 536. Sweet and sour




 I left the cell and came to Nifonium.

 There were four armed gatekeepers at the entrance to Nifonium.
 There was a hut a short distance away that had been built in a short period of time.

 I nodded my head as I approached the entrance.

Good work, sir!
""Good job!"

 The gatekeepers looked at me and stood up straight and saluted me.

Good job. Well, who are you?
This is His Highness Stem's man. He asked me to make sure that no one but Mr. Sato gets in here for a while longer.
His Excellency Stem: ...... Ah, the cell.
Ha!

 Sel Stem.
 For a moment I wondered who he was referring to when he said "Your Excellency".

It's tight.
'Nihonium is just an unstable dungeon, and it's time for a change. He said that no one should be allowed to enter it until Master Sato stabilizes it.
Okay, maybe that's true.

 Cell had a point.
 Indeed, I don't think the other adventurers should be allowed to enter.

 Obviously, I'm the main cause of this change in Nifonium this time.

 ...... No, I may be the only one to pinpoint the cause of the change.
 Other adventurers entering Nifonium at this point in time could be strangely irritating.

 I also thought that this treatment of the cell was the best thing to do.

     ☆

 Before entering the dungeon, I went back to the house.
 Using the transporter room, I flew to Arsenic and looked for Emily.

 When I found her, I explained to Emily about the current situation in Nihonium and asked her to bring me some warm food and other things.

 When Emily agreed, I went back to the mansion and flew directly to the ground floor of Nifonium in the transporter room.

'Ugh.'

 My voice leaked out a bit.

 New Nifonium, flying directly from the mansion is a bit damaging.

 The mansion is an Emily space.
 That space that Emily cares for and maintains, it's warm and bright.
 It's not just the atmosphere, it's really warm and bright.

 Flying out of that mansion is a visceral chick dungeon.

 A dungeon of pulsating flesh walls, as if it were alive.

 A place that's just plain creepy, but the drop-off makes it twice as creepy.

 However, I can't stay like this forever.

 I pulled myself together and started walking.

 I quickly encountered the monster.
 A single-legged haunted umbrella, which I crisply shot through with a normal bullet and saw a green apple drop.

 Then, I proceeded through the dungeon.

 With my special ability, I'm able to figure out the structure of the dungeon like a radar in my head.
 It's a dungeon that I haven't fully conquered, but I figure out the structure and head to the next floor by the shortest route.

 I defeated about three haunted umbrellas on the way. Alice would have been able to dodge those as well, I thought as I arrived at the second basement floor.

 The dungeon looked the same.
 A wall of flesh, inside the pulsating guts.

 It's a dungeon that's not all that different from the first floor.

 The monsters were indeed different.

 A rokuro neck.

 A woman with a body dressed in kimono, with an insanely long, wispy neck.
 She is quite a famous monster among Japanese monsters.

 I see, will the new Nihonium be unified with Japanese style monsters?

 I pull the gun and pull the trigger.
 The bullet missed - or rather was deflected.
 I didn't think about it, I aimed for a normal headshot, and the undulating neck lightly deflected the headshot.

'Then,'

 This time, he's loaded with freezer rounds.

 I aim firmly at the neck of the rokurok neck - and shoot.

 The long, thin neck is completely frozen by the freezer bullet.

 If the neck was frozen, the head would not be able to move either.

 On its head, I calmly made a head shot.

 Then it drops.

'What is this ......?'

 I pick it up and look at it seriously.
 It's a round fruit, the size of the palm of my hand.
 The color is either dark purple or light red.
 The outer skin is thick and hard.

Do I have to eat it?

 I took a look at the fruit and cracked it open.

 The inside was yellow and full of seeds like a pomegranate.
 It's a fruit that looks like an orange or a mandarin orange with seeds inside a bunch of smaller ones.

 I took a fearful bite - I knew what it tasted like.

 Sweet and sour (、、、、、), which I had eaten once before.

 I'm not going to be able to get the same taste as a passion fruit, a fruit that I had eaten once in the past.
