「Hmm, mnn…… hot……?」
It feels hot. Huh… what…?
「Ah, well, of course it’s hot……」
On both sides of the bed I was sleeping in, Yggdrasil-san and Nana-san were asleep.
With three people sleeping in a single bed, of course it would be hot.
「Wait, what are these two doing here――ah」
Right, yesterday was the cheat roulette.
There was checking the transfer scene, the Dungeon menu message-style communication, and a lot of other things going on.
Because of that, both of them probably stayed here late into the night to keep an eye on things. And as a result, they ended up sleeping in my bed.
…Though really, there was no reason for all of us to sleep in the same bed.
「More importantly, what happened to the dungeon name? ――『Dungeon Menu』」
While I was in heaven, I changed the dungeon name several times, but I never got a reply from Nana-san. Why was that, and what does it look like now?
Thinking that, I opened the dungeon menu, and then――
『Heaven now Roulette done Heading back now 20:19 Message confirmed good Dungeon』
…Hmm. That’s a pretty glitched dungeon name. Pure chaos.
For now, the 『Heaven now Roulette done Heading back now』 part is what I typed in heaven.
Right after arriving, I entered 『Heaven now』, after the roulette finished I added 『Roulette done』, and just before returning home I typed 『Heading back now』.
I originally planned to type 『Heading home will』, but Deis-san pointed out that 『now』, 『done』, and 『will』 were all dead slang, so I just typed 『Heading back now』 normally.
Because of that, when I returned from heaven to the lower world, the name was 『Heaven now Roulette done Heading back now Dungeon』.
And when I checked it just now, a new part had been added, 『20:19 Message confirmed good』.
That wasn’t my text. Which means――it was Nana-san’s.
Most likely, after seeing my text, Nana-san wanted to type 『20:19, message confirmed! Good』. The phrasing feels oddly familiar, like something I’ve seen a long time ago.
Still, she checked it at 20:19? That should be right after I fell asleep, I think……
「Hmm…… huh? Mnn. You’re awake, Alec」
「Ah, sorry. Did I wake you up?」
「No, it’s fine. Good morning」
「Good morning」
Yggdrasil-san, who was on my left, woke up, so we exchanged greetings.
「――Ah! Alec! Alec!」
「Huh? Y-y-yes, what is it?」
「Actually――hmm? Very well, let’s wake Nana too」
Saying that, Yggdrasil-san reached out and shook the sleeping Nana-san.
「Nana, Nana. Wake up」
「Hmmm…… I can’t eat anymore……」
「Eh……」
Seriously, Nana-san…… Do people still say things like that in their sleep these days?
「Nana」
「Ugh…… yes……」
After being gently but persistently shaken by Yggdrasil-san, Nana-san finally opened her eyes.
「Good morniiing……」
「Hmm. Good morning」
「Good morning, Nana-san」
The three of us exchanged greetings, but Nana-san still looked a bit sluggish.
「Did you maybe stay up late last night checking everything?」
「Eh? No, after I sent the message to Master, I went to sleep right away」
「Oh? Is that so」
The message Nana-san sent must have been at 20:19. And the current time is 6:20.
……She slept pretty solidly, didn’t she.
「Well then, let me explain things in order. Nana and I waited for you to fall asleep after you got into bed, but…… it was surprisingly fast」
「Yes, I don’t think it even took five minutes」
「That’s how it was」
That makes sense. I was completely exhausted, so I must have fallen asleep right away.
「And then, at that moment, your body――disappeared noja」
「Huh, my body?」
So my body disappeared. I had wondered whether only my soul might be transferred while my body stayed behind, but it seems it was my entire body.
「But it was only for an instant. Just an instant, so brief there wasn’t even time to blink」
「I see, only for such a moment……」
Hmm. In that single instant, I went to heaven and came back?
In a moment so short there wasn’t even time to blink――
「It was terrifyingly fast. If it had been anyone but me, they would have missed it」
「…………」
「…………」
「W what is it?」
Nana-san and I both ended up staring intently at Yggdrasil-san.
I felt like I’d heard a very similar famous line somewhere before……
Nana-san probably thought the same thing.
「Um, by the way, Nana-san? Were you able to see it?」
「No, I couldn’t tell. I believe I was watching the whole time, but I didn’t notice it at all」
「Huh, I see」
「Yggdrasil-sama was getting very excited, shouting things like 『Ah! Now! Just now, Nana! Nana!』, but I couldn’t see anything」
I see, so that kind of exchange happened……
At least Yggdrasil-san was able to properly witness my transfer scene, and she seemed quite pleased, which is good.
「And at that point, the dungeon name had already changed」
「Ah, I thought so」
「So I wrote down the time at that moment, entered the message, and then――went to sleep」
「……Right」
Going to sleep immediately after that feels a bit questionable as an experiment. Something else might have happened afterward……
Ah, maybe it would have been better if they had woken me up? Then we could have confirmed whether the cheat roulette really finished in an instant.
……Though if they had done that, I would have been woken up the moment I fell asleep, which would have been a pretty rough experience.
「I see. So, to sum it up――the moment I fell asleep, my entire body was teleported to heaven, I did the cheat roulette within compressed time, and right after it ended, I was immediately sent back to the lower world」
「That seems to be the case」
Hmm hmm. So that’s how it was.
A question I’d been slightly curious about, or maybe didn’t really matter, was finally answered.
「Well, I guess you could say the experiment or test was a success」
「Yes, I think it’s fair to call it a success」
「Indeed. I was also able to properly witness Alec being teleported」
「Right then, thanks for your hard work」
「「Thanks for your hard work」」
We exchange high fives, the three of us.
Yeah. Going through this familiar routine always gives me a sense of accomplishment, like we really finished something.
「Oh, by the way, Master, how was it? You finished the cheat roulette, right?」
「Yeah, that part’s done too」
「What did you get? You didn’t write it in the message」
「Yeah. I figured I’d explain after I got back in person. Honestly, it’s pretty――cheaty, I think」
Cheaty, yeah. Definitely cheaty.
The prizes from the cheat roulette aren’t always that broken, but this time, it really is a cheat.
「Oh? Is it that kind of thing? Surely not something more cheaty than my mother, the dungeon core?」
「It feels a bit awkward to say this in front of you, Nana-san, but…… I think it honestly surpasses the dungeon core」
「What…… No, the dungeon core is extremely cheaty, you know? It only seems otherwise because of how the Master uses it. It’s actually amazing」
I feel like I was lightly insulted just now……
Hey, haven’t I been using it pretty well lately? I’ve been creating lots of fun fields, and everyone seems happy with them……
……Well, whatever.
Next, I’ll show Nana-san and Yggdrasil-san the cheat I was granted.
And then, I’ll blow their minds.
All right, let’s begin.
Divine descent.
