Chapter 340
The evening arrived, and we used the Transfer Gate that Eve opened up for us back at our mansion in Shikuro .

In an instant, we reached our mansion from Calcium Dungeon .
If we’d used the normal route, it’ll take us more than half a day to reach .
“Are we done for today?” (Eve)
Eve asked .
“Yeah, we’ll resume tomorrow morning . ” (Ryouta)
“Okay . ” (Eve)
Eve who worked hard today slowly left .
“Ara, welcome back Ryoutsan . ”
“Celeste . You’re back as well?” (Ryouta)
When I was about to get into my room, Celeste came and visited me .
She wasn’t in the attire of going into the dungeon, but her home attire .
“Ah no, I’m staying home today . ” (Celeste)
“Hm? Oh, the Magical Storm……isn’t here . ” (Ryouta)
Searching for my memories, I remember that there wasn’t any weather forecast saying that there’s any Magical Storm .
Both morning and afternoon seem normal .
So, Celeste should’ve been able to go to the dungeon normally .
“I’m gathering information . ” (Celeste)
“For?” (Ryouta)
“Information on Calcium . ” (Celeste)
“! ! So you were working on that?” (Ryouta)
Celeste smiled at the surprised me .
“Well, I can’t lose to Eve, right?” (Celeste)

“Is Celeste also aiming for a spirit name?” (Ryouta)
“… . . That’s not it . ” (Celeste)
Then what is it that she’s competing? I looked back with a confused look, but Celeste did not respond but continued smiling .
I feel like I’m missing something, but oh well .
“Rather, I guess you’ve heard about what I’m doing to a certain extent . ” (Ryouta)
“Yeah . Let’s go to the salon to talk about it . ” (Celeste)
“Okay . ” (Ryouta)
We moved to the salon side by side .
When we entered the salon, there’s a guest .
Also, Eve who returned with me has changed into her rabbit pyjamas .
She was so motivated when she was at Calcium, as she glanced at me and Celeste without saying anything .
The difference between what she’s interested in and not has such a huge gap .
Well, it’s the usual Eve .
Celeste also knew, and passed through Eve’s unresponsiveness, sitting down on the sofa, opposite of her .
“So, how far have you gathered?” (Ryouta)
“Calcium Dungeon, a place that drops various milks . ” (Celeste)
“Various, you say?” (Ryouta)
“Yes, for the most part it’s cows milk, followed by goat’s milk . There are many other kinds, but all of them are milk . ” (Celeste)
“So that’s what you meant . ” (Ryouta)
So Calcium is strictly a milk dungeon .
“Also, all monsters are angels . ” (Celeste)
“All?” (Ryouta)
“Yes, every floors’ monsters are angels . ” (Celeste)
“Heeh, is that so?” (Ryouta)
“And here’s the most important part . ” (Celeste)

“Yup?” (Ryouta)
Celeste showed a serious expression .
“Calcium has no maximum number of monsters . ” (Celeste)
“There’s no limit? What do you mean by that?” (Ryouta)
“In normal dungeons, even if you don’t defeat a monster, if they gather to a certain number, no new monsters will appear . ” (Celeste)
“Ah . Since I rarely reach the limit, since I always defeat new ones as they spawn . ” (Ryouta)
“Other than Nihonium . ” (Celeste)
That’s right .
Nihonium, which adventurers do not go to, has monsters always stuck to its max limit .
“Since Calcium doesn’t have it . It’s causing an outbreak for the dungeon association of Hasemi, and the adventurers there . ” (Celeste)
“Meaning?” (Ryouta)
“Drops that don’t make money and products aren’t reduced . ” (Celeste)
“Ah . ” (Ryouta)
“But, Calcium can’t do that . Because—–” (Celeste)
“—–Reducing production will increase monsters . Endlessly . ” (Ryouta)
Celeste nodded .
“The production—— Is parallel to the amount of monsters . When it goes below a certain number, the total number of monsters increases . And since there’s no limit, the dungeon gradually becomes full of monsters . ” (Celeste)
“………” (Ryouta)
I began thinking .
It’s not something easy .
“Monsters can’t cross floors nor get out of dungeons, so filling them up doesn’t hurt them, but it’ll be a problem if their numbers keep growing . ” (Celeste)
“Meaning?” (Ryouta)
“The extras will be stocked . For example, if the dungeon is full, and the time for another extra 20 units has elapsed . Even if you defeat up to 20, they’ll resurrect immediately . ” (Celeste)
“…… . . Then you can’t get into the dungeon . ” (Ryouta)
Celeste nodded clearly .
“In other words, even if you don’t make money, you must always defeat the monsters to prevent any revival . ” (Celeste)

“… . . Now that’s troublesome . ” (Ryouta)
Dungeons produce enough food to feed all humanity .
In other words, the natural recovery of a dungeon is enough to feed humanity .
If you have to keep defeating that amount of monsters, it’s natural for the dungeon association and adventurers to be exhausted .
“I think it’s better to improve it if it could be done . ” (Celeste)
“Yeah . ” (Ryouta)
The problem was a little more troublesome than I imagined .
The next day, after breakfast, we decided to head for Calcium in the Transportation Room with Eve .
We specifically went to the first floor .
“Eh?” (Ryouta)
“What’s the matter, Yodsan?” (Emily)
Emily, waiting in line behind, tilted her head curiously .
“No, the room in the dungeon isn’t open . ” (Ryouta)
“Did you choose a different dungeon?” (Emily)
“I didn’t . ” (Ryouta)
“… . . Bunny can’t open either . ” (Eve)
Eve tried, but the gate didn’t open .
Just to be certain——–
“Nihonium, opens . Teruru, opens . Plumbum, opens . ” (Ryouta)
“Calcium, nope . ” (Ryouta)
After trying various things, only the gate to Calcium didn’t open .
“But we could open yesterday . ” (Ryouta)
“Yes, Rabbit is the one who opened it . ” (Eve)
“What’s happening…… Don’t tell me!” (Ryouta)
An image crossed my mind .
The worst, imagination .
“Eve . This is bad, can you run there with the usual route . ” (Ryouta)
“Okay . Rabbit Express . Choo choo . ” (Eve)
Eve Jumped at blazing speed .
If like yesterday, she’ll return in around thirty minutes .
After 30 minutes… .
“What’s happening nanodesu?” (Emily)
I told Emily about the characteristics of Calcium Dungeon .
“The gate might not open, perhaps there’s no space for us to enter . ” (Ryouta)
“It’s that packed nanodesu?!” (Emily)
I nodded reluctantly .
I prayed that it wouldn’t happen .
“Rabbit has landed . ” (Eve)
Eve, who has run alone to Calcium, has returned .
“How was it?” (Ryouta)
“It was tightly packed . ” (Eve)
“…… . . ” (Ryouta)
So the worst has happened .
