Chapter 50
The next morning.
Having restored my vitality to the brim, I stood on the balcony, basking in the chill morning air, lost in thought. I took out the tiny bottles of 'Moteru Motel' and 'Etchi Etchi' and held them up to the sunrise, gazing at them intently. Huh, doesn't this setup kinda make look cool?
"Today, I'm finally going to win with these."
I finished my morning training, took a shower, and put on a crisp shirt.
Maybe I'll even wear a little cologne, just to be clever. Heh heh.
I won't forget my A-rank proof ruby brooch, the lucky 'Proof of the Chosen One' Buchi, and the stylish brooch called 'Bloodstained Comrade' that I got from Forr Chiba-kun.
Now then, let's check the Daily before heading out.
"Daily Mission"

★Daily Mission★
Let's work steadily every day!
'Don't bully Shimaenaga-sama'
Level up Shimaenaga-sama 0/1
Consecutive days: Day 99
Steady Rank: Platinum Multiplier 10.0x
──────────────────
Huh?
"Chii chii chii!"
Shimaenaga-san began flying around excitedly, clearly overjoyed.
What is it, Daily-kun?
What's this "Don't bully Shimaenaga-sama" business?
Are you seriously pandering to Shimaenaga-san?
──────────────────
★Daily Mission★
Let's work steadily every day!
'Not pandering'
Level up Shimaenaga-sama 0/1
Consecutive days: Day 99
Steady Rank: Platinum Multiplier 10.0x
──────────────────
You totally are pandering.
What's with this "Shimaenaga-sama" nonsense.
You're obviously just trying to stay on Shimaenaga-san's good side.
"It's not like I'm bullying anyone. If anything, we're the ones being bullied, right, Gii-san?"
"Gii."
See, even Gii-san says so.
""Chii!" (pecks at Gii-san)"
""G-Gii..." (deflates)"
"Please stop, using senior pressure to silence juniors is oppression, Shimaenaga-san."

Ugh, what a guy.
This is supposed to be my Daily Mission, and yet he's sucking up to Shimaenaga-san—he's a disgrace to all Daily Missions.
"Chii♪"
"Shimaenaga-san, did you maybe bribe him or sothing?"
"Chii?"
Well, that's probably not it.
Bribing a Daily Mission wouldn't even make sense.
Anyway, if I don't level up Shimaenaga-san today, my streak will reset.
That is absolutely unacceptable.
I must defend my status as a Platinum mber.
So, regrettably, today shall be declared Shimaenaga-san Enhancent Day.
"Shimaenaga-san, how close are you to leveling up?"
"Gii?"
Gii-san and I sit formally before the proud, puffed-up Shimaenaga-san, who's perched on the bed. We're on the floor.
Well, they're the star today, so it can't be helped.
"Chii chii chii"
"You need a ton of experience? Regular monsters aren't enough?"
"Chii chii chii"
Even using my Platinum mber perks, it still sounds like a stretch.
I'll need to co up with sothing.
"Gii."
"Ah, Gii-san's acting on his own again."
Today, the brains of Team Finger Man, Gii-san, is up to sothing once more.
He just put the 'Trap Room Lake' we got yesterday into the 'Mugen High-Load ver5.0'.
Next up... huh? He deftly pulled sothing out of my coat pocket with his tentacle.
Isn't that the anomalous substance 'tal Agent' we confiscated from Tetsuro Hagane of the tal Shiba Inu Club?
I'd totally forgotten about it.
"Gii."
He put the 'Trap Room Lake' and 'tal Agent' into a box... but nothing's happening.
Must be because we don't have a crystal.
"Gii."
"Let's try it after we gather so crystals."
——Eight hours later
After running hunting grounds routine on the 11th floor, I successfully gathered 300,000 yen worth of crystals. That should be enough to synthesize.
I asked Gii-san again to synthesize the 'Trap Room Lake' and 'tal Agent'.
The crystal cost ca to about 300,000 yen.
Inside the duralumin case was a sleek dagger.
Item na: 'tal Trap Room'
Oh, the na changed.
But the transformation's within expected paraters.
Actually, it's so within the expected range that it's almost beyond it.
Opening up the details.
────────────────────
'tal Trap Room'
A creation by the interdinsional artisan Morton
One monster stored inside will be talized per day
Storage capacity: 5,000 monsters
Remaining: 2,480/5,000
talized: 30/200
────────────────────
Wait, does that an the monsters inside got talized?
Based on the display, it looks like about 30 tal monsters are in there?
And if it talizes one per day, that ans we can farm tal every day and turn them into delicious charred remains daily?
That's strong. Like, ridiculously strong.
Super strong. So strong it's... chunchy strong (?)
"Chii chii chii!"
Shimaenaga-san is absolutely overjoyed.
"Gii"
"Gii-san... wait, do you actually know what happens when you synthesize things...? To think you'd create sothing this convenient..."
"Gii"
This is Calamity. I don't think we can even match it in intelligence.
You're telling it understands everything like it's picking it up by hand?
It's radiating a presence too majestic to be a slug. I can see a halo behind it.
