"Repetition.

　Outside of Tennesin, in the wilderness where the city has not yet been built.
　Neptune and Lil and Rann, who watch Neptune with a harried look on their faces.
　In front of the three of them, I blinked my newly created (、、、、、、) haggle of me to death with a repetition.

'How's that?'
No, there's still 11 stars. How about Lil' and Ran?
No.
I'm the same way.
Yeah.

　A second challenge to erase the Stars.
　Yesterday, I erased all the Stars for me beating a haggle of me, so I told Neptune about it, and today I was challenging him to erase his in the morning.

'Does this mean that this is still the worst possible thing that could happen?'

　In fact, there were several possible possibilities, and they were in order.

　Defeat a normal shadow haglemono in front of him.
　Defeat the Neptune dude in front of him.
　Make a new one of me and defeat it in front of him.

　In all of them, Neptune's Stars didn't disappear.
　Technically, I beat them one at a time, so yesterday's reset was 12 to 1, which is 11.

What happened to yours?
It's gone.

　I went back into Tenesin to try it out with the I-mono, and made a new I-mono.
　Then the twelve stars on again, and the countdown disappeared again, having defeated the melee.

　Facing Neptune, we gave each other a small nod.
　The two of us with the highest experience in the dungeon, we already knew the terms clearly.

''So that means I'll have to defeat my own fake by myself, right?
That's what I thought.
That's a problem.

　Neptune laughed happily, "Haha.

'How can you laugh?'
I mean, isn't it just a funny situation?
"...... sort of.

　It's not hard to understand the feeling.

　In the first place, the reason why Neptune asked me for help is because the Tennesin monster has become a Neptune sham and that guy is so strong that he's going to the upper limit of his talent value that he can't handle it.

　And yet, in order to solve the problem completely, you have to defeat that self-doubt.

''So we're neatly back to square one.
No, not really.
What?

　I looked at Neptune to see what it was all about.
　He was smiling as usual.

'If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that I had to defeat my own fake, that haglemono. I don't even have the idea of turning it into a haglemono, and I wouldn't have to beat it to make it a haglemono in the first place.
I see.
So it was you. I was right to ask you for help. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have gotten anywhere.
Be that as it may,

　Pulling the topic back somewhat forcefully.

'I'm going to take you down,'
Hmmm, I don't know what to do. If I could beat you, I wouldn't have asked you for help in the first place.
You'll probably only have a momentary ...... chance to support me, so don't miss it.
Okay.

　Neptune answered immediately without hesitation.
　He's still a competent person around here.

　He's always in the dungeon, so he knows that if there's even a moment of hesitation in a pinch, it can be fatal.
　Neptune always makes quick decisions. There's no so-called "demododatte" at all.

　I set the black ball watermelon on the ground away from me.
　Changed from the matsutake, changed to reset, a drop of Neptune.

　The Neptunes moved away, I moved away.

　I kept my distance and waited for the Neptune Hagremon to hatch.

　After a while, a black ball watermelon turned into a haglemono with a pop--!

Let's go!

　The moment it hatched, I shot an acceleration round into myself.
　I stepped into the accelerating world faster than Hagremonos could fully reveal themselves, and I stepped into it in an instant.

　I thrust my two pistols at it, and where I had hit it beforehand, I fired a large amount of scrap bullets, which I had prepared in large quantities again.

　Neptune is strong.
　The strongest class of adventurers, the boss of the Neptune family, with a spirit.

　Realizing its talent limit, Neptune Doubt is the strongest class of monster, surpassing even the Dungeon Master.
　So, he was careful.
　I shot scrap bullets to cover the Neptune monster's entire body.

　I shot the scrap bullets that were advancing straight ahead no matter what, to cover the whole body.

　From the side, it looks like it's wearing lead plate armor.
　The scrap shell armor restrains (...) Neptune, who can't move at all.

　Then, he made a single hole in the scrap bullets armor.

　In the center of its body, almost to the heart.
　That's the only place where it made a gaping hole.

　I looked at Neptune.
　"Now! I didn't say that.

　I can't reach him because he's accelerating, and he doesn't need to say it in the first place.

　He was already in attack position.
　Lil and Ran began to sing behind him, and Neptune began to rush forward with his two wings on his back.

　I chuckled.
　It rushes forward - normally it's a messy, fast step, but Neptune looks slow to me with his acceleration.

　So I could even see that mouth movement clearly.

　-- thank you.

It's too much.

　I smiled bitterly and watched Neptune penetrate the last of the blows (,,) with a blow.
