“Ta-da!” Miyoshi had pulled out something that looked like an oversized food processor. “Paparapapapapaa! Behold, a real-life Blade Cuisinart!”

The Blade Cuisinart was one of the most powerful swords in the computer game series Wizardry. Though it had gone over the heads of many Japanese gamers at the time, now it was well known that the makers had intended it to be a tongue-in-cheek reference to the famous kitchen appliance brand.

“Wh-Whoa,” I protested, “don’t tell me you’re planning on using that thing on...”

Miyoshi grumbled about how a proper hand mixer might have been a bit better for the joke, but nevertheless plugged the food processor into the extension cord reel we’d run down from the first floor. We couldn’t be sure if it was the result of our surveillance cameras or not, but no slimes had spawned on the stairs.

“The cleaners don’t regenerate if the pieces are small enough, so what better way to ensure they don’t regenerate than making them into puree?”

“Wait,” I cut in, “so you’re willing to risk all those little cleaner granules each forming a new monster?”

If they all regenerated at once, it would be like having a phreatomagmatic eruption on our hands. When magma met water, the water would expand up to 1,700 times its original volume, causing a pressure eruption. If our pureed cleaner cells suddenly burst forth new bodies en masse, we’d be dealing with an even greater force.

“You worry too much.” Miyoshi cut a large chunk off of the first cleaner’s tail, and tossed it into the mixer. “Oops! There it goes!”

“‘Oops!’ my ass!”

My protestations were drowned out by the groan of the Miyoshi’s “real-life Blade Cuisinart.” Instinctively, I picked up Miyoshi and started dashing up the stairs.

“Kei! What the heck?!”

But what I saw when I looked fearfully behind me was thankfully not a rush of a thousand cleaners flooding up their stairs, but a cloud of dispersing black light hovering above the food processor.

“Damn it, we missed it!” And here we knew the cleaners didn’t regenerate from pieces that were small enough, Miyoshi added, puffing out her cheeks.

“Miyoshi,” I said, “we still don’t know exactly how the dungeon processes monster regeneration, right? Meaning we don’t know the specific rules?”

“Right...”

“If our theory about them using some kind of substance to determine body regionality was correct, then when the body part is reduced to a single cell, it might just decide growing in any direction is okay.”

When the fragment was reduced to one cell, it wouldn’t really matter what direction a leg or an arm grew from, as long as it regenerated into the original shape.

“Ah, now that you mention it...” Miyoshi responded.

That was one risk to Miyoshi’s hasty experiment. Another risk was the possibility that our theory was wrong—that the dungeons instead determined directions for regeneration similarly to respawns, going off of some kind of dungeon map, and using the size of the remaining body part to determine which direction the regenerating pieces should grow in... Since doing so would take
