The existence of the tenth basement floor is very disturbing.
　I wanted to go down and explore it right now, but I goofed off.

　I know from experience that Cell has asked me to explore the dungeon and that I have to "conquer" all levels in many cases to get to the spirit room.

　So I'd like to check it out now, but I've decided to stifle it and attack the ninth floor first.

　I'm no longer used to it and proceed through the internal dungeon.
　Then, I immediately encountered a monster.

''Goblins?''

　These thoughts came out of my mouth the moment I saw the monster that appeared.
　It was a small, small-bodied monster worthy of being called a kobold, with sharp eyes and exposed fangs, completely naked and with a dull gray skin color.

　That's why the word "goblin" came out of my mouth so quickly.

'Oh, come to think of it, is this what the Amanojaku monster looks like too?

　I immediately remembered that and nodded my head in agreement.
　New Nihonium, a dungeon with all the "Japanese" yokai up to this point.
　One of those yokai is the Amanojaku, a yokai whose features are almost identical to those of the goblins.

　If that's the case, I'm going to have to capture it more and more.
　If it's not a goblin, but a demon called Amanojaku, then I need to find out the difference between the two before I can report it.

　So I steeled myself, pulled out my gun and pointed it at the muzzle of the gun - but.

''Ah.''

　The Heavenly Demon didn't hesitate at all, turning himself around and running away.
　It was almost the first monster to run away from me in the first place, with absolutely no intention of fighting.

　I put my gun away and went after the Heavenly Evil Demon.

　As I rounded the corner of the dungeon, I saw the celestial demon turn around a little further on.
　So I pulled my gun out again - and he ran away.

'Tsk, wait!'

　I chase after the celestial demon with my tongue in my mouth.
　I've never seen a monster run away so clearly before.

　I'd better check this one out before I defeat it.
　At that moment I thought to myself.

''What!''

　The celestial demon stopped, stopped, turned around and stared at me.
　It didn't pull away from me, nor did it turn the corner and disappear from view for a moment.
　And yet, the celestial demon stopped.

'What kind of ...... thing is this?'

　I wondered about it, but let's tie him up for now.
　So you think - you run away again!
　He escaped, and this time the celestial devil turned the corner.

　So he chased after it, and at the end of the corner was a fork in the road, a three-way junction.

'Kook!'

　Unlike Alice, I don't have the ability to detect where the monsters are.

　If they run into a trident and can't see you, it's as if you've practically lost them.

''It's no use, let's turn back and look for another individual.

　With that thought, he put away his gun and turned himself around - pettiness.

　I turned at the sound of footsteps, and the celestial demon revealed itself.

'......'

　The celestial devil escaped.

......

　The Heavenly Demon reappeared.

'......'

　The celestial devil has escaped again.

'......'

　The celestial demon showed itself.
　The celestial demon didn't pull back from showing up.

'...... I see.'

　I think I'm getting the picture.
　He's reading our "hostility" - no, he's reading our minds, isn't he?

　If you want to attack him, he will run away, and if you try to give up and walk away, he will show himself.
　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's not.

I see... I see... That's it.

　I'd normally be annoyed when he went on and on about the exact opposite, but I was a bit convinced.

　It was as heavenly as the name suggests, and it was a little funny.

'...... well, but,'

　I took a deep breath and changed my thinking again.

　Beat it, kolos, kill it and let it drop.

　The moment I thought that, though, the celestial demon ran away again.

'Sweet,'

　I kicked the ground and rushed forward, and in an instant I was ahead of the Heavenly Evil Demon.

　Speed SS, if you really put that speed to the test, it's almost as if the speed at which the Amanojaku is escaping has stopped.

　I'm going to turn myself around and try to escape even more, and I'm going to get further ahead of the evil one, and I'm going to hold the muzzle of my gun at him - and shoot him.

　With a close-range headshot, he defeated the Amanojaku.
　Even though I could read his mind, in the end, my physical abilities would be the key.
　That's how I defeated him.

'Shoot myself, and I thought about doing an accelerator round, but I didn't need it.

　Muttering such things, he lashes the drop.
　The completely vanished Amanojaku dropped a fruit that was light pink and shaped like a palm-sized bell.

　Picking it up and biting into it, it had an apple-like, pear-like texture and was still a bit sweet and sour.

　I wondered if Sakura knew the name of this fruit too.　I walked around the ninth floor, letting my speed take me down and collecting drops from the heavenly demons.
