Nihonium, 8th floor.
Today, I brought Leia along to farm.
As soon as we arrived the floor, the 3 headed zombie appeared. The moment I saw it, I immediately used Repetition.
Even with the three heads being one of them is the weakness, the moment it was hit by the magic, it was instantly defeated. (TLN: Now we know)
Afterwards, I picked the seed up.
Repetition is indeed strong, no it's the strongest if I were to say, but I got a feeling that I would [depend] on it too much.
Since I'm farming the seeds today, so it's still alright, but what if I continued using the second or third or so on, then with that kind of mindset I would be using it everytime I'm diving into the dungeon.
But, I decided to brush that off today.
[What am I supposed to do today, Master.] (Leia)
[Ah that's right, for now let's equip.] (Ryouta)
[Acknowledge.] Leia answered, and changed into a protector and equipped onto me.
It's a spectacle that tickles any boys imagination, no matter how old they get.
Inside my mind, words like transform or cross floated around, as I directed Leia.
[The moment you see a zombie, fire 1 Homing Bullet.] (Ryouta)
{I understand——I have fired.] (Leia)
Leia's arms were stretched out, and with a revolver on her hand, she fired the Homing Bullet.
Even though she saw that there were 3 heads, she listened to my order and fired only once.
It's because of this loyalty that becomes a big part in conquering any dungeons.
Anyways, the Homing Bullet followed a specific path while flying towards the zombie.
Catching that line of sight, I mentally took note on which head is the reflected one.
Next, I fired a Normal Bullet.
The Normal Bullet that fired straight was quicker, as it caught up with the Homing Bullet and collided with it.
{A splendid job.} (Leia)
Leia applauded in my mind, as I fired a Recovery Bullet.
After knowing which of the head was the weakness, I fired another Normal Bullet at it.
Then after picking up the dropped seed, I explained the process to Leia.
[So, the Homing Bullet would always aim at the reflected head, which is fine and all but if it hits, it'll be bad. Hence why I fired another bullet to destroy it before it hits the zombie.] (Ryouta)
{Acknowledged—–Master.} (Leia)
[What's the matter?] (Ryouta)
{What would happen if Master uses the Strengthening Bullet on top of the Homing Bullet?} (Leia)
[……..Right.] (Ryouta)
I lightly tapped my palm with my other hand wrapped into a fist, as I've never tested that out before after she mentioned about it.
[Let's try it then, so in the meantime could you unequip from me.] (Ryouta)
{Understood.} (Leia)
Leia returned back into her human form.
Then, loading the Strengthening Bullet to its max before putting the Homing Bullet, I thought of 2 outcomes.
Thinking of one of the two, I asked Leia to take a distance.
I wonder what might happen if I fire this maxed out Homing Bullet—–
After firing it, my vision turned white.
I was being attacked by something, which meant that the Homing Bullet damaged the reflection head.
I hurriedly used the Recovery Bullet to heal myself.
[Master, are you alright?] (Leia)
[Yeah I'm fine. I guess the Strengthening Bullet only increases the power instead of the tracking function.] (Ryouta)
[I'm sorry for suggesting something weird to Master.] (Leia)
[No, I'm actually proud that you gave such a suggestion.] (Ryouta)
Leia was surprised by my words even though her face doesn't show it.
[The reason why I stop myself from using Repetition is to understand the performance and effectiveness of the weapon I have on hand, which meant that this experiment that we failed was actually something of value. You can say that having actual experience is something unforgettable.] (Ryouta)
[Is that so.] (Leia)
[Thanks though Leia, if there's anything you notice, please don't hesitate to say.] (Ryouta)
[…….Yes…..Master.] (Leia)
I felt happy that Leia replied after pausing for a second.
Then, forming together with Leia again, we went around and defeat some more zombies.
I was thinking whether Leia could do something more, so I tried having Leia to not only fire the Homing Bullet, but to also destroy the bullet, but it didn't go well as her accuracy was low.
After doing it for so long by hitting two bullets together to activate the fused combo, I think the only ones being able to do that 100% of the time would only be me.
So, having Leia hit the Homing Bullet on her first try would actually be even more strange.
Is that all…..I thought.
{Master.} (Leia)
[Yeah?] (Ryouta)
{I have something that I want to test, is that okay with you, Master?} (Leia)
[Sure, let's try it.] (Ryouta)
{Yes……} (Leia)
Leia who was feeling better than usual returned back to her human form.
Then, using the Absolute Rock to activate Invincible Mode, she suddenly went off.
Since she didn't tell me anything, I waited at the spot for a moment, then after some time I saw Leia pulling zombies back.
It's something that I've done before, where I relied on my toughness to gather the monsters.
She's gathered around 20 of them, which is kinda bad if we don't separate them.
Leia who pulled them then returned back to me.
[I'll equip onto Master now.] (Leia)
[Aah, okay.] (Ryouta)
I'll let her do what she wants without asking.
More like, I find this better.
I always find it good that she would play it by ear during any situation, which is something that I want whenever I do not want to rely on Repetition.
Leia then fired the Homing Bullets at one part of the zombies.
Since she has 4 revolvers on her, she was rapidly firing the Homing Bullets.
I have grasp all 20 of the reflected heads——-but it didn't hit the targets.
I wouldn't be able to catch up with it even with me dual wielding my revolver.
{I have used the Speed Up bullet.} (Leia)
Ah, so she fired the Speed Up bullet on herself, and fired Normal Bullets like crazy to hit all of the Homing Bullets.
I guess quantity beats quality.
Most of them were a miss, but as a saying goes, even if your shooting is poor, you'll eventually hit a fluke by shooting a ton, so all the Homing Bullets were shot down.
Without missing a beat, this time she fired the Recovery Bullet, and out of 20, 10 of the heads were identified, and I immediately fired at the 10 of it.
The remaining 10 changed position again, so Leia once again fired the Homing Bullets and shot down the bullets again.
With accelerated Leia, in just a few minutes 20 zombies were defeated.
After losing the speed, she returned back to her human form.
[How's that, Master.] (Leia)
[You've done a great job.] (Ryouta)
[Thank you. I thought that since its this floor, using the Speed Up bullet would be the best option.] (Leia)
[Hm? Ah I see. After all, I'll eventually dive into Nihonium Dungeon 7 days per floor, so using one Speed Up Bullet every day should be fine.] (Ryouta)
[Yes.] (Leia)
[So there is that way of thinking….Thanks Leia, for noticing.] (Ryouta)
[Yes…..] (Leia)
Leia looked at me with what seems to be a happy expression.
With this Speed Up Bullet, there seem to be a wider range in my strategy.
