I came back to the house from Californium.
Eve was still in the salon, happily chewing on a carrot.
“I’m home.” (Ryouta)
“Hmm.” (Eve)
As if she wasn’t particularly interested, Eve didn’t even look up and continued to bite into her carrot.
“I’ve been to Californium. Sure enough, it’s impossible for me to clear.” (Ryouta)
“That’s what I’ve said.” (Eve)
“Heavy damage negation, huh? If even normal bullets are negated, then there’s nothing I can do about it. Well, the restraining bullets did work, so I can support you.” (Ryouta)
“This is what you get for being cocky at a low level.” (Eve)
Eve looked up this time and looked a bit satisfied and good at it.
“Just so you know, getting rid of that thing is—-” (Ryouta)
“No.” (Eve)
“Right.” (Ryouta)
I knew what to expect, so I didn’t argue.
Instead, I said.
“I’m going to ask you to do something else.” (Ryouta)
“Something else?” (Eve)
“Double the amount of carrots you eat every day.” (Ryouta)
“Whatever you do– you can’t stop me.” (Eve)
“I told you it was something else. Well, why don’t you ask him and then you can decide.” (Ryouta)
“….Say it.” (Eve)
“Heavy damage, even to monsters—–oh, I mean monsters attacking adventurers. Can you disable the heavy damage on that one too?” (Ryouta)
“…… Why?” (Eve)
“You can say this to Californium. ‘From now on, weaker adventurers will be coming. If you don’t do this, you’ll be defeated in an instant, and gradually no adventurers will come at all.” (Ryouta)
“Mmm. ……” (Eve)
Eve’s expression changed.
The change showed that her thinking was linked to Californium at a significant level.
So I continue further.
“Besides, you’ll be able to torment the weak for a lot longer and prickly with the heavy damage negation.” (Ryouta)
“I see.” (Eve)
Eve gave a small nod.
Then she looked up, staring at me.
“What are the advantages of a low level?” (Eve)
“Advantages, I mean, grind as much as possible. If we don’t, the weaker adventurers will just be defeated in an instant, and we’ll effectively die in a dungeon.” (Ryouta)
“I see.” (Eve)
Eve nods deeply this time.
Well, I didn’t dare to say that it’s just a little form …… change because you can have a high level come and concentrate on restraining you so that my restraining bullets are still alive.
“Carrot double?” (Eve)
“Double the carrots.” (Ryouta)
“Okay, I’ll tell him.” (Eve)
Eve gulped down the remaining carrot in one gulp, got up and walked out of the salon.
She’s going to Californium, I guess, so I just saw her off.
And I was right.
From the next day onwards, Californium was invulnerable to heavy damage, friend or foe.
☆
Cell and I watched from a distance as the brawl unfolded in Californium.
The adventurers are all level 1s who were called in on short notice.
The monsters were special gold-dropping monsters that had been summoned with tickets.
The battle was a pitched battle, that’s the only way to describe it.
The attacks of the first level adventurers were weak, and often unsuccessful due to their lack of experience.
They are often too slow to attack in the first place.
They are not the type of adventurers who should be in dungeons.
If you’re in a dungeon, you’re going to be in trouble with the other adventurers.
But in this case, there was no problem.
Because the monster’s attacks had no effect at all.
No major damage.
The setting, which would have allowed the original goblin attack to just barely pass through, nullified all of the summoned monster’s attacks.
One is called one damage each, the other is called completely disabled.
It was a sight to behold, a battle scene that made you itch to get your hands on it.
“As expected of Satou-sama.” (Cell)
“No, it was just a coincidence.” (Ryouta)
“Don’t be modest. The story goes that it was largely due to Satou-sama’s quick thinking that we got off on the right foot.” (Cell)
“Well, I guess so.” (Ryouta)
It may well be so.
“This is the ultimate form.” (Cell)
“Ultimate?” (Ryouta)
“The most important thing for an adventurer is stability.” (Cell)
“Yeah, I guess.” (Ryouta)
“In this situation, there’s not a million accidents in the production of money. It’s the same even if the dungeon master is out. It’ll take time, but we’ll be able to throw in a lot of Level 1s and push through with numbers.” (Cell)
“Right.” (Ryouta)
“Most definitely, that’s the ideal way to go.” (Cell)
Cell turned to me.
“As expected of Satou-sama.” (Ryouta)
He said to me with a respectful look.
