Chapter 417
Our new mansion————A place that replaces the first floor of Vanadium Dungeon .
I was standing alone in the center of the hall and expanding my consciousness .
Surrounding me———one of the signs I feel increases .
I held the gun I had already pulled out and shot a normal bullet at it .
A bullet cuts through the air .
Poof, and a rogue monster hatched on that trajectory .
Slime .
Teruru Dungeon first floor monster, the first monster to defeat .
As soon as it hatched, a normal bullet shot through the slime .
I looked around .
Around me, bean sprouts are lined up in a circle at a distance where the rogue monster hatches .
The Slime I defeated also hatched from one of them .
This time, I gently closed my eyelids .
I grasp for any sign through the darkness .
Unlike the Slime just before, the feeling swells at the same time .
The bean sprouts placed at the same time are about to hatch one after another .
I read the order of hatching from the size of the sign then shoot normal bullets in that order with my eyes closed .
I felt like an actual sniper .
When I opened my eyes, there were no Slimes and the normal bullet of the rogue monster slime drop was rolling in the place where the original sprouts were .
“Wow, Ryouta” (Alice)
Alice appears while clapping her hands .
She has her fellow monsters on her shoulders and came in with a marvelous expression as she came closer .
“So you were watching . ” (Ryouta)
“Yeah! The timing was perfect . The moment they almost turned into rogue monsters, they couldn’t do anything and was one shot . You know not only the location but also the timing . ” (Alice)
“Oh, you seem to know about how it works . ” (Ryouta)
“It’s amazing! What does it look like in your head?” (Alice)
“An example would be … a traffic light . ” (Ryouta)
“Traphic… . light?” (Alice)
Ah right, there are no traffic lights in this world .
I decided to explain in more detail .
“Somehow, it feels like there’s a signal on everything . Blue is okay, yellow is about to be dangerous . And red is when it’s too late . ” (Ryouta)
“I see” (Alice)
“Well, I’m still not sure whether it only works on rogue monsters, so it’s a delicate place for now . ” (Ryouta)
“But it’s great enough as it is now, also . ” (Alice)
“in addition?” (Ryouta)
“Because it’s Ryouta we’re talking about, I think that power will grow further, or maybe Ryouta will master it very well . ” (Alice)
“Thanks for the compliment . ” (Ryouta)
Alice’s trust was comfortable .
I intended to do so, but I became more and more motivated in it .
I was thinking of thinking about how to make good use of this ability .
The chairman’s office of the Shikuro Dungeon Association .
I was invited to face the chairman, Cell .
As soon as I sat down, Cell bowed lightly .

“I received the report, thanks to Satou-sama that the Carbon crisis has been resolved . ” (Cell)
“Don’t mind it . ” (Ryouta)
“Not only the cause was investigated . After that, the entrance was not closed and remained open . ” (Cell)
“That’s good to hear . ” (Ryouta)
“I was told the details . It would’ve not been solved if it weren’t for Satou-sama’s help . To put it in words, without Satou-sama, Shikuro would have suffered . ” (Cell)
“That’s an overstatement . ” (Ryouta)
I chuckled bitterly .
For some reason, Cell has used more exaggerated words .
“No” (Cell)
However, Cell shook his head clearly .
“Imagine the worst, the adventurers could be wiped out after they are trapped . ” (Cell)
“That’s … that’s a possibility . ” (Ryouta)
Rather, the possibility was very high .
Considering how we know of this power, it was a kind of “locking up until death” .
The movement of the dungeon made me feel that kind of consciousness .
“As you know, this time we had a lot of ☆ . There were a lot of leaders in each family . If they disappeared all at once–” (Cell)
“It could spell trouble . ” (Ryouta)
Somehow, I imagined a situation where middle managers in the company disappeared all at once .
It will definitely cause great commotion .
“Satou-sama who prevented it is literally a savior . ” (Cell)
“Again, that’s an overstatement . ” (Ryouta)

This time I could clearly say it .
There may be some confusion, but it’s not enough to be called a savior .
Cell’s still acting like himself, and there is a wasteful “belief” -like part .
“Therefore, I have one consultation with Satou-sama . ” (Cell)
“Consultation?” (Ryouta)
“I would like permission to install a signboard at the Carbon entrance . ” (Cell)
“Why a signboard?” (Ryouta)
“It’s a sign to publicize Carbon’s prohibition and rules that Satou-sama has clarified . ” (Cell)
“You can do that without asking me—” (Ryouta)
My intuition whispered “wait a minute” .
It was exactly “without asking me like that” .
Cell is the director of the dungeon association, but he doesn’t need my permission to install it .
But he properly asked .
He came to get my permission .
Word choice .
As soon as the word passed through my head, something came to my mind .
“Hey, what kind of sign would that be?” (Ryouta)
“…” (Cell)
Cell did not answer and looked away .
That look convinced me .
“Did you make ‘that’ again?” (Ryouta)
“I don’t know what you mean–” (Cell)
Something fell from the bosom of Cell who looked impatient .
It was my figure that made a noise and fell to the floor .
It’s my figure that Cell always makes .
It is a three-dimensional version of where I am capturing Carbon .
I pick it up and stare at it .
Then, on the pedestal of the figure, a bean-sized character was written .
“The signboard is small!” (Ryouta)
“I’m going to make the real thing life-size . It’s 1/6 scale, so the signboard is 6 times this size . ” (Cell)
“It’s still small! It’s not a note on the contract . Nobody will read it if it’s so small . ” (Ryouta)
“But if I make it any bigger than this, it will hinder Satou-sama’s brave figure . ” (Cell)
“Tumble that shit over!” (Ryouta)
If there was no such place, it would be a pretty good person …… .
“Anyway, I don’t care about the statue, so make the signboard twice as big as this———no, three times as big . ” (Ryouta)
Because it’ll just say, “Be careful” as it is .
Cell reluctantly accepted it, which breathed a sigh of relief from me .
“Satou-sama” (Cell)
Suddenly, Cell called my name .
When I saw him again for some reason, I was surprised to find that he had a very serious face .
“Thank you” (Cell)
He thanked me as straightforward as it gets .
I was suddenly caught and thought it was a little sly .
