Figuring out the Situation

Fuwaah, that was a good sleep is hard to say. Ugh, my body hurts.

When I woke up and stood, my shoulders popped loudly.

Though the floor wasnt cold and was slightly warm, it was hard and dimly emitted light. Not a good place to sleep in.

Gu, f-finally you woke up Kehma!

Oh Rokuko, how long was I asleep?

You dont know!? Six hours! Aah I can talk again.

Though I dont know if time flows the same, but it seems that I slept for six hours for now.

The 4 DP that I saw before falling asleep became 34 DP.

Whats the timetable for the bandits DP? I should probably give up on calculating the exact income based on their strength.

What time is it outside?

Seven in the morning! By the way, one day is twenty-four hours! Wait, why am I answering you!

I see, thanks. Say nya at the end of your sentences.

Stop joking nya!

One day is twenty-four hours. By the way, it seems that one year is twelve months, three hundred sixty-five days in total. Its good that its the same so its easy to remember.

Though I checked to make sure, I heard that what I can order the body to do on its own depends on my level.

Despite this being another world, since little girl does whatever I say if I were a lolicon there would be R-18 developments about right now.

I canceled the order for her to add stuff to the end of her sentences and for now reviewed the current situation once again.

Whats the state of the bandits?

They got up and left a bit ago. One person is staying here right now.

Hmmm

Well then, Ill just summon a goblin then. Summon! 20 DP Goblin!

Huh?

A glowing magic formation appeared on the floor.

The magic formations light grew stronger and the moment it flashed a small person with an ugly green face appeared.

I wonder if it felt like this when I was summoned? Probably.

Alright!

Its not alright!

Adah!?

I hit Rokukos head with a thump.

W-what was that for! The endurance value doesnt lower! Ill break!

What are you using DP for on your own, idiot!

Hah? Whats wrong with me using my DP?

Ah, so this person is an idiot.

Its not your DP anymore, its my DP. If you want to use it you need my permission, if you dont want to die that is.

W-what, is that a threat!? If I die, Kehma also dies!

Thats right, if the dungeon core is destroyed I die as well. Thats why I said to not do things at your own convenience!

Ugu th-then, what now?

For now, teach me about the area around here And can this goblin be returned?

It cant. Well, itll give 2 DP if its killed in the dungeon though.

One tenth huh I got it, lets keep it for now.

First of all, I decided to give the goblin the order to wait in the corner of the room for now.

Rather, this room is pretty big. Couldnt it fit something about the size of a gymnasium in it?

No, if you consider that you can summon a dragon isnt that much natural?

Well, lets see, first of all this place is called the [Tsuia Mountain] Incidentally, this dungeon is called the [Ordinary Cave]! Adventurers said so.

Is this place even considered a dungeon. Oi.

Thinking about it, this seems to be the dungeon for a name like that. Its misleading.

Well, apart with the room lines with bricks, it does look like an ordinary cave

You said something about adventurers?

It seems the humans made something called an adventurer guild. Though I dont know how theyre different from knights, I dont know.

There appeared to be knights as well. As for the difference, isnt it just between being an individual and being part of a peace keeping group?

If Rokuko only knows that general of information from hearing about it, dont I know more about it?

Are there human towns nearby? If theres a map show it to me.

You can see it on the menu.

I looked at the menu to check.

It seems that there is a nearby road going down the mountain. Perhaps the bandits aim is that?

When I fiddled with the scaling, topography information for the mountain appeared However, at most I was able to understand the surroundings of the mountain. Theres a slightly large town nearby the Tsuia Mountain, and some distance beyond the mountain a sea.

Ah, so it seems in addition to the town theres a few villages sprinkled about.

By the way, this map felt very lackadaisical. No, more precisely I wished it provided distances. Well, its fine. It seems to be a map of the nearby area.

Hey~, not going to kill the bandits? Itll be a ton of DP if you kill them you know? I feel that if you do it now, lets see~, wouldnt 200 DP come in?

That would be approximately like them staying twenty four hours for ten days, Im told.

No, I still cant handle the bandits yet.

Why? If its just one bandit about ten goblins should be fine?

To gain 200 DP Id have to invest 200 DP huh in the first place arent you doubting thats enough DP?

I mean, goblins look weak. Ten for a single bandit?

Ill store up DP for a while. It would be a waste, there are better uses for it. Right now it would be better to not move clumsily and provoke them Clumsily sending out goblins, wouldnt they say [A goblin came out, lets destroy the dungeon core!] ?

! I didnt think of that, Kehma is smart!

Rokuko is just stupid. So long as you understand what I say, its fine.

O-okay. Got it.

Now then, with this she wont do anything on her own. Since I ordered her.

Lets see, next is the labyrinth? Making a room is though it depends on the size, if its a small rock-faced room its 200 DP huh. Passages depend on the length, and traps are separate?

Yes! Its better to summon monsters than to make rooms. Thats why I didnt do it.

You can also obtain and place treasures with DP huh ah, thats why the pillow was in the treasure category.

Thats right, but is there any reason to place them? I would rather summon a monster to beat away intruders than use DP for something like tha- wait, whats with those eyes? Theyre unpleasant.

Oops, I gave this person making an idiot of herself a disapproving gaze.

Yeah, well speaking of dungeons, rather than monsters youd picture the image of traps and treasures.

Is that so? The other cores didnt say anything like that you know?

Now that you mention it, Rokuko said she was Dungeon Core No. 695. Are there 694 others?

I think the number decreased from lots of them dying from their cores being destroyed the dungeon core is our heart.

Its amazingly risky to leave your heart in nothing but a single room dungeon.

After all, the other cores said the amount of rooms didnt matter!

Fufun, the blonde-haired loli boastfully threw out her chest that she didnt have. That flat chest maybe I should pat it?

Youre able to contact other cores?

Well, theres a gathering. Though I wasnt able to be there this time because of the intruders were called together once a year well, its like a party. A place to gather valuable info.

Heeh, so because of that you heard those things?

Yeah, Dungeon Core No. 89 Nee-sama said them. Since 89th Nee-sama is an amazing person with a dungeon in the middle of the imperial capital despite being a humanoid like me! Her number is two digits, her DP ranking is in the top ten, and always cares for me.

Isnt she just cheating this girl?

Come to think of it, 89th Ane-sama got a dragon from 1000 DP gachapon.

That so~. Rather, Im more interested in her being in the imperial capital or ranking though. For now we need deal with our current crisis somehow though.

Thats right. We cant do

Guuu, a sound rang out.

Now that I think about it, I havent eaten anything since yesterday.

Duck, or rice do you have food?

Eh? Ah, I see. Monsters eat huh~. I forgot since I dont need to eat to live.

By the way, it seems that whenever a monster came she would always use all the DP shed stocked up to summon goblins. Once or twice a month, adventurers would come to exterminate the goblins, mincing up their corpses and heading back.

And I seem to be treated the same as a monster. How rude.

I used 5 DP to summon bread and water, dividing it a bit with the goblin that was behaving itself in the corner of the room, then ate peacefully.
