After getting out of the dungeon, I met up with Neptune who was waiting for me .
Walking halfway to him, he asked .
“What’s up?” (Neptune)
“It was really strong . ” (Ryouta)
“Yeap, I wouldn’t be able to defeat it as cleanly as you . ” (Neptune)
“He’s even stronger than you are . What’s up with that?” (Ryouta)
“It wasn’t like that previously . ” (Neptune)
I slightly nodded .
Inside the dungeon where the monster looks like a human .
I imagined many patterns from it, but there is one thing in common .
It’s what makes it a monster .
“Is it a shadow, Slime, or a Gas type?” (Ryouta)
“It’s shadow . ” (Neptune)
Neptune replied .
How did he know, but there’s no need to ask him .
He has an abundance of knowledge when it comes to exploring dungeon .
As a veteran adventurer, I couldn’t possibly know about the things in this world more than him, besides the game knowledge that I have in my past life .
“When I first entered the dungeon, they were all shadow type monsters . Then, after defeating all of them in one hit, they became like that . ” (Neptune)
“Then how is it stronger than you afterwards?” (Ryouta)
“This is my hypothesis . ” (Neptune)
I nodded for him to continue .
“It’s probably the strongest version of me . ” (Neptune)
“So your absolute limit?” (Ryouta)
“I guess it’s a version of me whose ability is at its peak . Since I’ve experienced it before, I could know its power to a certain extent . ” (Neptune)
“Yeah, I get you . It does seem that way . ” (Ryouta)
“Yeah, that’s why he’s the strongest version of me . Thus stronger than me . ” (Neptune)
“I see now… . . Now I get why you needed my help . ” (Ryouta)
Neptune again chuckled .
“Just a heads up, the 2nd and 3rd floor are Ril and Ran . Though they’re not as strong as the first floor . ” (Neptune)
“Is that so?” (Ryouta)
“Since the both of them backed me up while I was fighting, and without me they can’t function . ” (Neptune)
“…… . . ” (Ryouta)
Leia suddenly popped up in my mind .
Though she’s a human, but she was remodeled into what the previous owner wanted her to be .
“……… Did you do something weird to them?” (Ryouta)
“It’s not like what you’re imagining . ” (Neptune)
“Then?” (Ryouta)
I narrowed my eyes as I questioned him once more .
It’s not what I thought……… which means he still did something .
“I just kissed them and have sex with them, that’s all . ” (Neptune)
“……… . . Wh?” (Ryouta)
Now this was a shocker .
What the hell is he even saying .
“As I said, I kissed——-” (Neptune)
“STOP! As I said, the hell are you even talking about?” (Ryouta)
“We’re all bound by faith, both Ran and Ril . That is the form of our love . ” (Neptune)
“Yeah alright I got it . ” (Ryouta)
My head’s aching, and I placed my hand out, indicating for him to stop talking .
Well, it’s true that it wasn’t what I was thinking .
Moreover…… . They’re like inseparable .
“I got it . So what’s the 4th floor and above?” (Ryouta)
“I didn’t reach that far . ” (Neptune)
“Alright . ” (Ryouta)
“Just be careful . If the shadow takes your form——Ara . ” (Neptune)
“Hmm?” (Ryouta)
“Look . ” (Neptune)
Neptune rolled up his sleeves .
There’s a 「☆」shape mark lined up like a tattoo .
Counting them, there were 8 stars in total .
“What are those?” (Ryouta)
“There were 12 of them before . And it has been that way . ” (Neptune)
“So 4 of them are missing…… . And I did defeat 4 monsters just now . ” (Ryouta)
“I see what it is . ” (Neptune)
Neptune smiled, and I nodded .
We didn’t need any explanation to know what it was .
“So it’s like that . ” (Ryouta)
“Yeah, I figured as much . ” (Neptune)
“If it reaches zero, then that’ll be bad . ” (Neptune)
“Indeed . ” (Ryouta)
“But if you turn it around——-” (Neptune)
“—— It’ll be safe if you leave one . ” (Ryouta)
I nodded .
“Yep, it is indeed the correct choice to ask for your help . I wouldn’t be able to figure out if I was alone . ” (Neptune)
“Let’s leave the rest . I’ll try to reduce to 2 . Contact me immediately if something’s wrong with our theory . ” (Ryouta)
“Ahaha, it’s true that we don’t want to leave 1 left . ” (Neptune)
“You know it as well . ” (Ryouta)
“I wonder . Hm, you’re indeed a wonderful person . ” (Neptune)
“Just to check with you once more . Both Ril and Ran has 12 as well right?” (Ryouta)
“Yeap . ” (Neptune)
“Okay . ” (Ryouta)
“Then…… I’ll leave it to you . ” (Neptune)
Neptune took the topic really seriously if the star really does decrease from 1——
“——Why don’t you do it?” (Ryouta)
“Ahaha, since you’re doing it, I don’t have to fiddle around anymore . ” (Neptune)
Neptune trusted me .
