55. Special dungeon




 The next day, the living room of our new house.
 Even though we had just moved in, the house was already filled with warmth.

 There was almost no increase in the number of things, there was almost no sense of life.
 Still, the house felt as warm and secure as my grandmother's house.

'Emily, be afraid,'
Really. What's the difference?
This is the fourth time I've put my tent in and I've given up trying to find it because I never saw it coming.
You don't know what it's like to go through that much.

 Looking at Emily in the kitchen making breakfast, Celeste let out a troubled sigh.

'I try to think of it as a phenomenon already. If Emily is here, it's bright and warm; if she's not here, it's a normal house. I try to think of it that way.'
Yeah, I think I'm going to have to agree.

Speaking of phenomena, we have another magical storm going on today.
It seems to last until the end of the day.

 Celeste sighed with a different quality.
 She nodded and seemed to bemoan her inability to do anything about it.

I'm a failure today. I'm not going to be able to use my magic when I'm like this.
Don't worry about it. You can rest on your laurels when you're like this. You don't mind being at home, do you?
It's amazing how well it works over there. I didn't know buildings like this existed.
'That's good to hear. That alone made it worth renting this place.
......

 Celeste's eyes widened in surprise, and immediately afterwards she slumped down, her cheeks coloring for some reason.

'Um, .......'
Yes.
Thank you. ......
Don't worry about it. I'm with the Ryota family.
...... Yeah.

 Celeste smiled serenely and nodded as she did so.

     ☆

 Since Celeste was out sick due to a magical storm, I went it alone again today.
 In the morning, I raised my strength from D to C with Nifonium, and I was able to hunt with ease as I got used to the mammy, which required a two-step tome, and felt like I was completely circling the area.

 In the afternoon, I first hunted slime and produced sprouts in the basement level of the tellurium.
 This one felt much easier, but it was so easy that I was getting tired of it.

 I couldn't help it, so I mixed in some special bullets every once in a while, and I took down 1 in 20 of them in a technical way, which wasn't work.

 So I continued to beat the slime and got exactly 40,000 piro's worth using the magic cart's function, and then I went back to Ciclo and took it to the buyer's shop.

     ☆

Yes, exactly 40,000 piro.
'Thank you. ...... is that it?'
Did you notice?

 Elsa laughed at me when she gave me the money to buy her out.
 That's understandable.
 Forty thousand piroos is four ten-thousand-piro bills if you do it normally.
 But what I just got is three ten-thousand notes and ten thousand notes.

 It's not a problem because it's 40,000 piro.

'Sorry to be so detailed, but the money in circulation is a bit low these days.
Really?
''The country's official who was managing the dungeon is being held up for corruption, so production is down temporarily, but now that his guilt has been confirmed and a new official has been appointed, I think things will return to normal in a while.
'Oh, yeah? ...... Yeah? Wait, does what you just said mean that money will be dropped from the dungeon too?
Yeah?

 Elsa nodded her head, "?" on top of her head. He asked back with a number of things floating in his mind.
 What's the obvious thing to ask? I felt like I was being told.

 Well, money is a dungeon drop, too.

 I took the 10,000 and 1,000 piro bills I just received and some coins from my pocket.
 Does this money that we take for granted is produced in Dungeon-drop in this world?

 Wait, that means the country that holds the dungeon that produces it can use as much gold as they want...
 Well, it's the same in the other world, too. The country can create as much gold as they want, and they control the amount.
 I'm sure it's the same here, which is why we're talking about the bureaucracy.

Thanks, I'll be back.
Yes, please come back!

 Elsa's smile waved me off and I left the store.
 I put the bills away carefully, took out the biggest 500-pillow coin, flicked it with my thumb and repeated the process of catching it.

 This is a dungeon drop," he said.
 I hadn't paid attention to it before, but when I learned about it, I thought it was interesting.

 This world where everything dungeon-dropped was still interesting.

 Don!

Excuse me.

 As I was walking around thinking, I bumped into a passerby.
 I failed to catch the coin I was fiddling with and dropped it on the ground.
 I caught up with the 500-pilo coin that rolled around like a wheel and stepped on it to secure it.

 I bend down and pick up the coin, which is sticky with dirt - a moment.
 Something flashed through my mind. A white light went through my head.

 The coin I had dropped, I was about to lose it.
 Lose it, get away from it, lose its owner.

 --Haguremono.

 My eyes widened so much that I could see it for myself.

     ☆

 On the outskirts of Cyclo, an unpopular place I used to pass many times.
 There I placed a ten thousand piro note on the ground.

 I moved away and waited for a while, and then the bill hatched into a huggle.
 It was a bird. A big, black bird, nearly three times larger than the crows you see in the city.

 It flapped its wings and took off in the opposite direction to me.
 I was running like a bat out of hell!

Let him go!

 I pull out my gun and shoot a bullet.
 The bullet flies away and chases the bird.
 The bird seems to notice and turns sharply to avoid it.

"You're very mobile, then!

 This time he fired two tracking rounds, just to be sure of that too.
 Special bullets tracking in an arc from left and right, the bird tried to avoid them in its acrobatic flight, but the bullets tracked well and both shots hit the bird.

 The bird died in the air and dropped something with a pop.

 It went towards the spot where it had dropped and examined the area around it.
 It finds these things and picks them up.

"Is this a ...... key?

 The bird dropped a key with a jewel-like object on it.
 Hagremoney hatched from money, a jewel-like object.
 I thought that maybe this was the bird's drop for sure.

''That's fine, but what's the use of this?''

 I stared at the keys, touched them, poked at them, and flicked them lightly.
 Suddenly, I heard a voice in my head.
 A voice that I could hear when a special item dropped, explaining how to use it.

'Like this?'

 I followed it and made a twisting motion in the air with the key.

 The next second I was sent somewhere!

 I was in the open air in Cyclo, and suddenly I was sent into a dungeon.
 Like a temple, like a ruin, a vast cave of space.

 There was only one monster there.

 At first glance, it looked like a woman, but it was obvious that it wasn't a human being.
 Her body was strangely pale and translucent, and she was floating in the air with no legs.

 If the monsters of Nihonium are undead types, then this one is most likely a wraith-type monster.
 The key seems to be an item to enter a special dungeon.

Anyway, if you're a monster, you have to defeat it.

 I can see it in myself, the smile on the corner of my mouth.
 In this world - in a world where even money is produced by dungeon drops, monsters are practically like treasure chests.

 It's also a dungeon monster that enters in such a special way, it's crazy not to expect it.

 The Wraiths wavered towards me.
 I fired my gun to intercept it.

 Regular bullets--slip.
 Frozen bullets--slip.
 Flame round--slip.
 Recovery rounds--slip.
 Tracking rounds--slipped.

 I fired round after round, but they all slipped through and didn't hit.
 Finally, I shot a straitjacket--it worked.

 The bullets flashed in the middle, and a rope of light tied up Wraith's body.
 And only where the rope of light tied up, the substance could be seen without being transparent.

 I quickly loaded a tracking round and swiftly swung at it.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this, but I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

 I'm sure you'll be able to hear the scream that Wraiths can't make out.
 Apparently, it seems to work.

 Since I'm tied up, I switch to regular bullets and fire a series of shots at the spot where the ropes materialize from zero distance.

 The Wraith screamed more and slowly dissolved into the air as it disappeared.
 Dropped was a glass bottle with a red liquid in it.
 When I picked it up--what a surprise, I was returned to the open air from the dungeon in an instant.

 I see, it's a special dungeon with one monster per key.

 Let's see, you earn money, turn that money into something huggable, use it to get the key, and then use the key to go to the special dungeon to get it.
 It's a bit of a pain in the ass, but how does it work?

 I opened the mouth of the bottle and drank the red liquid in one gulp.
 I can feel the liquid seeping into my body in an instant, it's like an instant fix.
 And then.

 --The plant drop is increased by 3 ranks for 10 minutes.

 It was subtly different from the previous one, and in a way it was a completely different category of item.
