A dungeoning coincidence.
It's a match.
Does that mean we won't be breaking up?
Best Marriage!
I see.

　You must have been really into him.
　I never knew Eve to be so serious about anything other than carrots.

　Yeah?　Other than carrots?

　I thought about it for a minute and asked him to try it out.

'What if he asks you to break up for more carrots?'
Rabbits don't live on carrots alone.
Jesus, you're furious.

　I mean, it's quite something that really doesn't even bite the carrot (、、、、、、).

It's called "dungeon-ness match," but what exactly does that mean?
You're all set. We can tweak it if anything else goes wrong.
'The ............ dungeon. What's going on?
It's a dungeon that can never be cleared by low-level players.
Me?

　Eve grinned.

'Can I go?'
Okay.

　It was returned with great ease.

　This is finally going to happen, I thought.
　I got serious and flew to Kalifornium in the transporter room.

　I quickly encountered a goblin in a giant maze-like dungeon.
　Poof.

'Nothing's changed, huh?'

　That goblin was exactly the same as the goblin I saw before.
　It was freshly encountered and had a distance, and as far as the speed at which it was coming at me and so on, its strength didn't seem to have changed.

　Nevertheless, I was cautious and first released a small test attack with normal bullets as usual.

''Mmm.''

　The bullet hit the goblin and flicked off.

'Did it get hard?'

　Still some distance away, this time he tried a flame round and a frozen bullet.
　The two bullets that landed - but they didn't stop the goblins.

　The flames flared up, but that's all, the ice was at the level of a thin layer of frozen skin, and the goblin's advance was not hindered at all.

　The approaching goblins, once they were within range, jumped and swung their clubs at me.

　The attack power must have been strengthened at this rate.
　I dodged a quick dodge, the club came off and slammed into the ground.

Mmm.

　I faltered again.

　The sound of the club hitting the ground, the momentum and the impact.
　Everything was the same as before.

　I prepared a recovery round, just in case, and tried to catch the goblin's club with my guard as it jumped at me further.

　It was weak.
　It's just enough of an attack that it won't do any damage if you guard it well.

　Then he counterattacked at close range.
　＋Pulling out a +10, I fired a series of growth bullets.
　This is my current maximum firepower under normal conditions.

Mm-hm.

　It didn't work at all.
　＋The goblins that were hit by the +10 growth bullets didn't get hurt at all.

　After that, he tried various bullets and attacks, but every attack didn't work on the goblins.

''Repetition!

　I tried shooting Repetition as a last resort, but that didn't work either.

'A dungeon that can never be cleared by low level players'

　Eve's words seemed to echo in my ears.
　I can't swallow the situation, but it's true that I'll never be able to clear this up.
　I couldn't defeat a single goblin even if I tried everything.

　I even hit them with tracking rounds that exploited their weaknesses, but nothing happened.

　Invincible?　I thought, but quickly shook off the idea.

　Eve said, "It's a dungeon that can never be completed by low levels.
　If it was completely invincible, he wouldn't have said that.
　It would be 'a dungeon that no one can clear'.

　I'm the only one who's immune to attacks?
　It's possible just looking at the situation, but ...... maybe that's not the case either.

　Yves said it was a "dungeon nature match".
　Then we can assume that it wasn't me personally, but something much broader.


　To take aim at me personally, I'm not that hostile or hateful to Eve, or even Kalifornium, for that matter.

　What they have in common is that they don't like "low levels".

　What can be considered from that--

'Wow!'

　I was so engrossed in my thoughts that the goblin club grazed the tip of my nose.

　I dodged it in a hurry - I was in too much of a hurry and dropped the gun.

　The falling gun, pulled by gravity, hit the goblin's leg.

''--!

　The goblin jumped up, holding his feet.
　He jumped up and down and let out an unspoken scream.

'Wow, bad. I know your pinky hurts.'

　I couldn't help but apologize.
　I've defeated many monsters on a regular basis, and I've caused you more pain, but I couldn't help but apologize.
　That's how much I felt sorry for bumping my little finger, not to mention the pain.

...... Huh?

　I looked at the goblins flying around holding their legs and wondered.

　If it hurts, does that mean ...... damage?

......

　I picked up my gun and fired a normal round.

　A well-aimed bullet struck the little toe of the goblin's other foot - but it flicked off.

　The little toe doesn't seem to be the weak point.

'If you go to .........'

　I decided to try another possibility that came to mind and see what I could do.
　I approach the goblin, which is still bouncing around, and restrain it tightly.
　Then I hook my middle finger on my thumb - and flick it.

　It's just a deco pin.
　Because it's a power SS, I was conscious of being very careful with the decoupling, a wobbly decoupling.

"---ha!

　The goblin held his forehead and winced.

'...... I see.'

　I think I understand.
　The more I understand that, the more sure I am that I know what Eve and Californium want.

　Large damage nullification.

　That was the new ability that came with this dungeon, I thought.
