510 510. Pandemic




It's a big mess, isn't it?

 The first floor of the tellurium.
 Neptune, who announced that he came to play, said that as I was impatiently producing sprouts from slime.

 As usual, he said it with a smiling face that I couldn't quite figure out what he was thinking.
 Ran and Lil followed behind him, as usual.

'You mean Felm?'

 He points the muzzle of the gun at the slime and strikes it exactly where it comes to the top of the magic cart.
 Every single bean sprout falls into the magic cart right after the drop.

'Yeah, it sounds like a real pain in the ass when you hear about it. It's impossible to repair it if it gets that far.
'Come to think of it, that's what I was wondering, what did you know about the dissolution with the genie? Did you get to go to that many panting spirits?
'Felm, you see, when the child with the spirit met with the spirit, they made a promise to each other. And in return for that promise, we're not going to release any rare monsters over there.
So that means ......
Yeah, on the contrary, it's full of rare monsters now.
"...... says that rare monsters don't drop paper products,
'That's what I mean. It depends on the tier, but there's a variety of cloths that get dropped. The silks on the seventh floor of Felm are of good quality, and it seems they were useful as an occasional extra income.
That's what it's all about now.
That's what I mean.

 I nodded, "I see," he said.
 The slime pounced on me, and I calmly shot through it.

 I try to imagine the situation and think about the consequences that would arise.

'If it ...... goes on too long, it's going to have a negative impact on the price of the cloth this time.
There it is. You can bet on that.
Are you okay in there?

 Having wiped out all the slime I could see, I stopped and turned to Neptune and the others and asked.

'I'm fine, what do you mean?'
Hydrogen and Oxydin.

 That's right.
 These three people in front of me are also with a genie.

 Neptune Oxydin.
 Lil' Hydrogen.
 Ran Hydrogen.

 Each of them are Oxidine and the "H2O" trio who have met with the genie of Hydrogen.

 As long as Ferrum's spirit attachments are causing damage as a dissolution, they're not completely unrelated.

''It's okay then,''
It's that simple.
We are.

 Neptune said, looking over his shoulder at Ran and Lil for agreement.

'Yes!'
Isn't that more dangerous than worrying about other people?

 Ran only responded innocently to Neptune's words, and Lil shot back with a zit-eyed glare at me.

'You're right,'

 I chuckled.
 The slime showed up, and while I chuckled, I shot through it with a normal bullet and let the sprouts drop.

 Lil was right.
 I've had more and deeper contact with the spirits over here.
 In the unlikely event that I offend them, there is a very big chance that something will happen that cannot be compared to Felm's.

'I'll be careful,'
"...... hmm.
But I've been watching you.
Hmm?

 Neptune turned to stare at me and my gun.

"Have you gotten stronger in a while?
Really?
Yes, it's a slime.

 Neptune turned his head to the side.

 A slime pounced from that side.
 I pointed the muzzle of the gun and shot it out tightly when the slime came to the top of the magic cart.

 The sprouts were properly inside the magic cart.

'See, I knew it.'
What do you mean?
You're directing the slime's movements with your muzzle.
...... I guess so.

 I stare at the gun.
 I remember the way he moved when he took down the slime.

'That's right. I pointed the gun at him and guided the slime's movements without daring to shoot it at first. That guiding move, it was a lot bigger before.
Uh, ...... maybe?

 When Neptune told me that, I thought for sure it might be true.
 I don't know what I might be doing, because I'm doing it naturally.

 It's like being told that when you're riding a bike, you're balancing yourself because you're using your knees this way.
 Maybe it's unconscious, but it doesn't make sense to me.

"I see you going further and further, you know, in these details.

 Neptune was impressed with his usual smiling face.

 A strange man appeared behind Neptune and approached him.
 Lil notices it and goes towards the man.

 The man asks Lil something in his ear.

 'I wonder if you know him.

'It's one of our family's kids.'

 He didn't turn around, but Neptune had figured that out.

'Do you understand?'
By air.

 'You're more awesome than me,' he said, though the words were stuck in his throat.

'What?!'

 Lil's impatient voice comes out first, and it's no longer there.

 Straddling the man, Lil comes over to Neptune.
 Then he glances at me and then--

'You're in big trouble.
What's going on?
All neon production has ceased. Maybe it's the spirits.
Yeah. ......

 It was a distraction, but Neptune's eyes were serious.

 Rebecca Neon, aka The Perfect's status-all-A woman.
 That Rebecca, with a genie, genie, dungeon.

 Neptune looked at me, smiling somewhat bitterly.

'Seems like either of you (you or I) were okay,'
It's not funny.

 I chuckled, too.
