Carbon first floor .
There was a transportation gate there where we gathered .
After confirming that, I headed to Celeste .
“Thank you” (Ryouta)
I said .
I asked Celeste to help me get to the first floor from the mansion .
After demonstrating to everyone that we’re going to enter Carbon, we returned to the mansion again to use the transportation gate .
“You asked to secure an exit for you, so what are you going to do now?” (Celeste)
“Let’s see… . ” (Ryouta)
I look at the gate and Celeste and look at the normal exit on her back .
“I thought the exit might disappear if we all went in, but that wasn’t the case . ” (Ryouta)
“Yeah” (Celeste)
“But it happened twice . As long as it is reproducible, we have to investigate this issue as soon as possible . Celeste, when the entrance was closed, did you travel between floors?” (Ryouta)
“I did, I was on the third floor at that time . ” (Celeste)
“Well then, we’ll leave the gate as is while we explore the dungeon?” (Ryouta)
“Alright . ” (Celeste)
“Is everyone okay with it?” (Routa)
“We’re fine nanodesu!” (Emily)
“I intended to do that from the beginning . ” (Alice)
“Reward is paid in advance . Bunny is a woman of law . ” (Eve)
All the friends who followed me nodded .
I decided to go around the first floor with 5 people plus Vanadium .
The monsters and drops on the first floor are already known, but what I want to investigate now is the phenomenon of the entrance disappearance, so I decided to investigate here as well .
We encountered monsters one after another .
Most of the monsters were masquerading as Emily .
“It’s me again desu . ” (Emily)
“I think Emily is trusted by everyone . ” (Ryouta)
“Is that the case nanodesu?” (Emily)
“Maybe . Trust and dearness need to be examined in detail, but I think that they transform to the other person based on a positive vector . ” (Ryouta)
“In addition, it’s probably not strength either . ” (Celeste)
I nod to Celeste’s words .
“True, if not it’ll turn into me . ” (Ryouta)
“That’s right nanodesu~” (Emily)
“Well, you don’t have to think deeply about this . We can just ask an adventurer who has entered later and investigate, who they were thinking, etc . , we’ll find out naturally . ” (Celeste)
“Yeah, what matters is the entrance . Alice?” (Ryouta)
“It’s still open” (Alice)
Alice who answered immediately, the fellow monster who is always on her shoulder is gone .
Skeleton———-Boney-chan .
Boney-chan remains at the entrance and is monitoring .
Because something like telepathy could be used for fellow monsters between Alice, the arrow of white feathers struck .
We confirmed that the entrance was open and proceeded with further exploration .
Monsters appeared one after another, but I didn’t get to fight
Emily, Celeste, Alice .
Almost all three of them have defeated it .
At first it was vague, but gradually I noticed .
The three of them were not solo players, but fight as a party .
Emily and Celeste were prominent .
One is a super power fighter who spins a huge hammer larger than their physique, and the other is an attack type witch who fires huge attacks while being conscious of taking a distance anyway .
Both are attack types .
Therefore, the usual way of fighting is to move while eliminating such weaknesses .
But now it’s different .
Their weaknesses are left exposed .
Though their weaknesses aren’t apparent, they naturally follow the other party, and I also casually follow the other party’s weaknesses .
It was refreshing because this was the first time for the three of us to move like this .
“Did you practice this before?” (Ryouta)
“No . ” (Eve)
“No?” (Ryouta)
I turned my attention to Eve who quietly denied it .
She is now looking at a rabbit made of green apples in her hands and smiling .
By the way, the drop and production are from Emily, and it’s a gem if you don’t eat it early .
“It’s still awkward” (Eve)
“Well that’s a given . ” (Ryouta)
“They’re just doing what they usually think, and can match it because that’s what they normally do, but it’s awkward because it’s their first time . ” (Eve)
“So that’s it” (Ryouta)
“It’s a dungeon match” (Eve)
“Hmm?” (Ryouta)
A word I think I heard before .
“Everyone wants to go around with low level . Many of them have solo in mind . ” (Eve)
“… That’s why they usually thought about their movement of the party . ” (Ryouta)
Eve quietly nods .
I see the three of them still fighting…I see .
That’s right, this is also fun .
I look at Eve again .
“Thank you Eve, for telling me . ” (Ryouta)
“Bunny is a woman of law” (Eve)
“Really now . ” (Ryouta)
Although I took a step back, I’m probably still looking at everyone more than me .
The feeling of gratitude for such Eve came to me .
