Chapter 145
After safely capturing Toge-toge, we went back to the mansion for the moment .
Different from the atmosphere the dungeon gave, it greatly contrasts with the warm and bright home that Emily managed and maintained .
Bringing Toge-toge here for the first time—–the plush doll sized Needle Lizard felt uncomfortable as it fidgeted around .
[It’s alright Toge-toge, this is my house, and starting from today you’ll be staying here with us . ] (Alice)
Alice patted Toge-toge’s head . At the same the, the three others—–Jumpy-san, Boney-chan, and Bon-bon went close to Toge-toge, and through their body language, they were moving at a comical way as if indicating something to Toge-toge .
The 4 plush doll sized monsters, as if in an anime—–or rather a spinoff anime where the premise of the anime is to give off a heartwarming feels to the audience .
After the senpai’s encouragement, Toge-toge’s worries faded away .
[Welcome back Master . ] (Cerberus)
While having such a scene in front of the Teleportation Room, My guard dog, Cerberus, came to see what was all the fuss about .
[I’m home . Nothing happened over here?] (Ryouta)
[Etto, a weird door-to-door salesman came over, but he ran away after I barked at him . ] (Cerberus) (TLN: why you so adorable~)
[A salesperson huh . How did you bark at him?] (Ryouta)
[Like this——-] (Cerberus)
Cerberus looked up the sky and roared .
A shockwave formed around him, and blew off the 4 of Alice’s plush doll sized friends away .
Such strength with just a howl, if it were in a game, the monster would’ve dealt minor damage with just this strong howl .
If he did that, I think most humans would’ve ran away .
[Something like that . ] (Cerberus)
[I see . Good job Cerberus . ] (Ryouta)
[Ehehehehehe……… . . ] (Cerberus)
A body larger than a regular human being, truly a giant worthy of being called the fiercest guard dog, but when I stroked him, he became excited .
He wagged his tails excitedly, as if trying to appeal to me that he wanted more petting .
If you’re that happy than why not have more petting .
[I’ll head back to work, I’ll pet you again once I come back at night so be a good dog and protect this house . ] (Ryouta)
[Alright! Leave it to me!] (Cerberus)
Cerberus’s tail wagged crazily once more .
He’s a dog that would feel joy in doing what his master tells him to do .
Even now, when he was ordered by me, his tail was spinning around like crazy .
And well, even if the hallway walls were slightly dented…… . there’s it’s own charm to it .
Leaving Cerberus to fulfill his role as a guard dog, I returned back to the dungeon, was what I thought when…
Alice was looking at Cerberus back for a while now .
[What’s wrong?] (Ryouta)
[Ceru-chan… . is a monster right?] (Alice)
[Yeah . ] (Ryouta)
[… . . He won’t drop anything if he was defeated right . ] (Alice)
[Well that’s because he’s a rogue monster . ] (Ryouta)
What’s with her, was what I felt while looking at Alice .
Alice was really staring at Cerberus, and then looking at the 4 of her friends which came back from the blast earlier .
[Maybe… . . ] (Alice)
Alice had a face as if she grasped something .
☆
Teruru Dungeon, 1st floor .
A floor where Slimes drop bean sprouts, Alice and I were here right now .
[Look closely okay Ryouta . ] (Alice)
[Okay . ] (Ryouta)
She had something she wanted me to see so she grabbed but asked me to keep my revolvers away, so now I was completely on spectator mode as I watched closely .
Alice walked one step at a time, and summoned her 4 friends .
[Jumpy-san, Boney-chan, Bon-bon, Toge-toge . Let’s go . ] (Alice)
Afterwards, the 4 plush doll sized monsters returned back to their original shape .
As in their original monster size .
Was what it was supposed to be, but that wasn’t the case .
Their sizes changed, but it was still their deformed look .
As based on evidence from Alice’s friends, the 4 deformed but adorable shape was summoned .
The 4 of them was closed to one of the Slimes, and they started attacking .
4 against 1, what an unfair advantage .
[Stop~] (Alice)
Obeying Alice’s signal, the 4 of them stopped attacking .
The Slime then counter attacked, but the 4 of them changed into defence mode as they dodged the Slime’s attack .
[What’s this gotta with anything Alice . ] (Ryouta)
[Just stay put and see——Go –!] (Alice)
After gazing at the Slime as if seeing something, Alice ordered to resume the attack .
The 4 of them attacked accordingly, and quickly defeated the Slime and dropped the bean sprouts .
[Ooh, as I suspect . ] (Alice)
After being convinced by something, she ordered her friend monsters to attack the next Slime .
Hunting Slimes .
Attacking with the same pattern, half way she would stop, and sometimes straight away defeating the Slimes .
I watched it several times .
Watching for the timing 《、、、、、、、、、、、、、》 .
That was what I felt .
Immediately realizing it, I realized another thing .
The drop, is always 100% .
Alice’s drop is C, and if I’m not mistaken she herself had everything else F, so letting the monsters defeating it would also get the C drop .
C wasn’t a high rank to begin with, so the percentage was around 50% per monster .
But……she somehow managed to get it 100% of the time .
I thought that it was unrelated to the timing, so I asked her .
[Alice . ] (Ryouta)
[Yes?] (Alice)
[Even if you don’t do that specifically, it’ll still drop?] (Ryouta)
[Ah, so you’ve figured it out already?] (Alice)
Alice smiled brilliantly, as her monster friends went on to the next target .
After being ordered, they defeated it .
This time the drop did not come out at all .
The next Slime did not drop anything too .
Even the ones after that did not drop .
Not once did it drop anything .
I’m convinced for sure now .
[Do you understand? Which opponent gives drop . ] (Ryouta)
[It’s a little different, I sort of understand the timing of when to get drops . ] (Alice)
[So the timing huh . ] (Ryouta)
[Yeap, where would it drop if I were to defeat it . Just now when I saw Ceru-chan I felt something that has <No drop at all> on him, so I thought maybe if I looked at other monsters . ] (Alice)
[Cause rogue monsters will never drop anything… . . It’s like RNG . ] (Ryouta)
[Eh? RN… . what’s that?] (Alice)
[Ah, just me talking out loud . ] (Ryouta)
Again speaking a gaming language, as if this world would understand it .
[That’s amazing, Alice . ] (Ryouta)
[Yep, all thanks to Ryouta . ] (Alice)
[Me? Why me?] (Ryouta)
[Yes! Because of you!] (Alice)
Alice nodded, and the 4 monster friends revert to their plushy forms, as she hugged them .
[Maybe because after I befriended Toge-toge, I obtained this ability . And it’s because of Ryouta who helped me catch him that I was able to have it . ] (Alice)
[Is that so . ] (Ryouta)
[Thanks Ryouta~] (Alice)
Alice thanked me while smiling brightly . The plushy that was on her arms were also showing their gratification using their body language .
My fellow summoner seemed to have evolved once again .
