Leah seemed shocked by the name of her first acquired title, but Nana helped her recover by following up.

At that point, it was time to receive the remaining rewards.

"If we win, we get three prizes, right? So, will there be another lottery with treasure chests?" (Tatsuro)

[No, that's not it. The three prizes are predetermined.]

"Then what exactly will you give us?" (Tatsuro)

[Well, here they are!]

Along with the dungeon's cheerful voice, a platinum box studded with jewels, like the one from the special prize, emerged from the sky-blue floor stone.

When Tatsuro approached as the representative and opened the lid, inside were three items: a brown cloth bag about the size of a weekly magazine tied with a yellow string, a thick tube made of hard rubber-like material about 10 centimeters in diameter with a square box with a dial attached to one end, and a white cylinder about 20 centimeters tall inserted into a thin circular base with a white triangular flag attached.

"They all look kind of like toys." (Tatsuro)

"Their uses are completely unclear. What are these?" (Ai)

"Let's look at the instruction manual!" (Nana)

Like before, there were three rolled-up parchment-like papers inside, so Tatsuro took one, Ai took the second, and Nana started reading the third.

Meanwhile, Leah was observing their structure with her sky-blue eyes.

Athena, seemingly uninterested, transformed into a small tiger using [Child Form] and was playing with Cardina and Jeanne.

"This cloth bag seems to generate and spit out two return stones per day. We don't need to leave the dungeon every time, and we already have several, so it's not really necessary..." (Tatsuro)

"Tatsuro, this thing can produce fire and water. It can make hot water too." (Ai)

"Oh, that could be convenient. I won't have to produce fire and such every time." (Tatsuro)

It was fine for Ai, but Tatsuro knew that Leah felt uncomfortable having to ask him every time she needed water, hot water, or fire, so this was somewhat pleasing.

"This flag, when placed on a fixed object, creates recognition interference." (Nana)

"Meaning?" (Tatsuro)

When Tatsuro asked Nana for details as he couldn't quite understand, Leah, who had a deeper understanding, explained instead.

"When you activate it by placing the flag on stationary objects like tents or boxes, it seems they become invisible from the outside." (Nana)

"So that means we can camp more safely. It's a bit disappointing that it doesn't work on moving objects though."

At that point, Tatsuro became concerned about something.

"What's the power source for these? We don't have that much magic liquid." (Tatsuro)

"For this water and fire thing, if you put a return stone in this socket—there we go—it seems to work?" (Nana)

"This recognition interference flag too—here we go. It works if you put a return stone here." (Ai)

Ai removed the surface of the square box attached to the tube, revealing two sockets where return stones could be inserted.

Also, when Nana pulled the flagged cylinder out of the base with a pop, it appeared that three return stones could be inserted in series inside the cylinder.

"It's like batteries. These return stones." (Ai)

"I thought so too. If we have these, don't we not need magic liquid?" (Tatsuro)

"No, the method of using return stones as power hasn't been established, and I never knew they could be used as an energy resource like this in the first place. Besides, they're not as easily obtainable as magic stones." (Nana)

"You always get magic stones when defeating dungeon monsters, but I'd never even seen return stones until coming here. But with this bag, we can definitely get two per day." (Leah)

[Yes, yes. They're quite convenient items, aren't they? I call them the Dungeon Exploration Set!]

"Indeed, for parties that can't use either fire or water magic, these would be useful, and the recognition interference might help avoid unnecessary battles. And the power source is generated bit by bit every day by this mysterious convenient bag. Well, it is convenient, I suppose." (Tatsuro)

For now, Tatsuro threw the return stone generation bag into his [Infinite Item Field] and accelerated time. He thought about whether he could bypass the two-per-day limit with time acceleration here.

And he gave the other two items to Leah, who was still looking at them with interest, along with all but one of their existing return stones.

Leah thanked him for these and took out paper and pen, becoming absorbed in taking notes.

"Is this all finished now?" (Tatsuro)

[Yes. All the events here are completely cleared!]

Just as they were relieved thinking there couldn't be anything more, Tatsuro remembered about the title from earlier that he had completely forgotten.

So the three of them—Tatsuro, Ai, and Nana—except for those absorbed in other things, decided to check it.

--------------------------------

Title Name: Amazing!

Rarity: 18

Effect: All stats +100.

100 points for arbitrary stat distribution. (*Can be changed any number of times)

+1 Skill Point when leveling up.

*Effects do not stack with title: Loser.

--------------------------------

"Seriously..." (Tatsuro)

"Such a weird title name, but giving all stats +100 is really generous." (Ai)

"100 points to freely distribute to stats, plus an extra SP every time you level up. Is it really okay to get this just for winning that game earlier?" (Tatsuro)

[You say 'just winning' like it's simple, but it's normally very difficult, you know? Even you probably couldn't have won without unknown methods and various tricks in an environment that allowed for them.]

"True. If we fought again, I don't feel like we'd have any chance of winning." (Tatsuro)

[That's right. Also, this time I went with a completely magic-specialized version, so being unable to scout or move was probably one of the factors in your victory.]

According to that explanation, apparently, there were various other versions besides that virtual body, such as physical combat-specialized and speed-specialized versions.

I see, so there was some luck involved, Tatsuro thought and accepted it for now.

"Well then, letting everyone freely decide their arbitrary distribution values aside. By the way, Dungeon-kun. Even though all events are finished here, do monsters not come?" (Tatsuro)

[? That's right. While this is a dueling ground, it's also in a sense a special space separated from the dungeon.]

"Hmm hmm. By the way, Dungeon-kun. Do you think the materials used in this church's stonework would be good for houses?" (Tatsuro)

[Umm... While your strange way of speaking has been bothering me, the answer is yes. It's heat-resistant, cold-resistant, magic-resistant, and durable... Though you all were breaking it easily.]

"Oh ho. By the way, Dungeon-kun. You can fix this right away if it's broken, right?" (Tatsuro)

[Yes, I can, but...?]

"Is it not okay to break it and collect the materials?" (Tatsuro)

[It's fine~]

"It is!?" (Ai)

"It is, indeed!?" (Nana)

While Ai had stayed quiet listening, understanding what Tatsuro was thinking, she and Nana raised their voices in surprise at how easily the dungeon permitted the destruction of its facilities.

However, the dungeon had its reasons for allowing this.

[Yes, it's fine. Even without that, compared to the past, people rarely come to this dungeon anymore, perhaps because it's lost popularity. I have excess energy and don't know what to do with it. While I can't just give you materials due to dungeon regulations, I welcome you breaking the walls and ceilings and taking them yourselves! Hurray for energy consumption!]

"What happens if you have excess energy?" (Tatsuro)

[When energy becomes saturated, the dungeon's level eventually increases. If the level increases, the number of floors to manage increases too, and I have to produce new boss children, plus adjust the monsters and mechanisms on other floors to match the level, which is troublesome. So not just here, please go ahead and break things, defeat monsters, and take things from the facilities as much as you want!]

For this dungeon, the challengers' destructive actions were rather welcome.

Thinking there was no need to hold back then, as Tatsuro was looking around deciding where to break first, Ai suddenly remembered something concerning.

"Well, if that's the case, I guess it's fine. But you know, rather than lacking popularity, wasn't entry to this dungeon restricted by the country or something?" (Ai)

"That's right, Mother. So I don't think it's a matter of losing popularity." (Nana)

"Yeah. There should be plenty of people willing to try their luck even if it's somewhat reckless." (Tatsuro)

While Tatsuro and the others were saying this casually, the dungeon was shocked to hear the answer to something it had been wondering about for several decades.

[Wh...at...did you...say....... Restricted? This dungeon?]

"Yeah, they built a huge wall around this dungeon's entrance saying 'Don't enter, it's dangerous~' and soldiers have been keeping watch to prevent entry for a really long time." (Tatsuro)

[Wh]

"'Wh?'"

[What are they dooooooooing!!!!]

The sudden scream made not only Tatsuro, Ai, and Nana, but also the other members who had been absorbed in other things turn around with wide eyes wondering what was happening.

"Well, even if you say 'what are they doing,' it's not like we made it that way." (Tatsuro)

"Actually, you didn't know about your own situation?" (Ai)

[Of course, I didn't know! I basically don't know anything outside the dungeon. And because challengers decreased, no one has been able to come here for several decades either. How could I know? This is outrageous! This is an obstruction of business! I'll give you any reward, so please destroy the wall and eliminate & annihilate the organization ordering this!]

"Annihilate... we can't do that." (Tatsuro)

[Oh no... So humans hardly enter dungeons anymore?]

The dungeon's voice suddenly became dejected, having just been furiously angry moments ago. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"That's not true. Level 3 dungeons were very bustling." (Tatsuro)

[So I'm even inferior to novice level 3 dungeons... What terrible people. Those who want to challenge should challenge, risking their lives to fulfill their desires. That's what dungeons are about... *sigh*... How lamentable.]

Since it seemed like it might fall straight into the dark side, they decided to try to cheer it up as much as possible.

"W-well. We can't destroy the wall and kill the people restricting dungeon entry, but we'll destroy this place grandly. So cheer up." (Tatsuro)

"That's right. If you say we can destroy it, we'll destroy it to our heart's content!" (Ai)

[Both of you...... Uuu, thank youuuu~]

"This conversation sounds strange from the outside." (Leah)

And so, while this was happening, though they hadn't even decided on concrete plans yet, hypothetically imagining a fine and sturdy portable house and a small break room for use in limited spaces, Tatsuro and everyone started destroying everything to build these.

Since destroying with powerful magic would scatter the building materials to pieces before they could be used, Tatsuro used high-power lasers to cut through the walls.

Ai used Gundari Myoo, combining it with her own hands for a total of ten hands to punch, kick, slash, and shoot at the floor, walls, ceiling, and every possible place, destroying with enough force to demolish the church.

Cardina used [True Form] to get to the ceiling and cut it with [Dragon Wing Blade], making sure it didn't hit people below while using detection to drop it.

Jeanne rampaged around in [True Form], hitting and destroying everything in all directions with her large body.

Nana enhanced her strength with curse magic, immediately allocated her freely distributable 100 status points to strength, and destroyed walls in [True Form] state while channeling dragon power through her dragon fang.

Athena focused on destroying floor stones, while Leah examined the building material samples received from Tatsuro to determine how to use which materials.

And as they destroyed to their heart's content, Tatsuro absorbed the materials into his [Infinite Item Field] and restored them, repeating this to obtain large amounts of building materials.

"Well, this should be enough for now." (Tatsuro)

[Oh. I got to use a lot of energy for the first time in a while. Thank you.]

As they were experiencing the strange sensation of being thanked after destroying and obtaining materials, the dungeon continued speaking.

[With this, you have no more business here, right? Are you going back to Dungeon Conquest today?]

"Huh? I think we'll stay here a while longer since we're going to build a house here first. It would be troublesome if we run out of materials." (Tatsuro)

[Ah, I see. But if another group of challengers comes, please leave. Until then, you can do as you like... Well, there probably won't be any... Really, humans do unnecessary things—]

As it started grumbling to itself, Tatsuro ignored it and everyone gathered to start discussing house construction.
