Visiting Rabbit Paradise

Kyuu can help right? I hope kyuu can!

The orange-colored rabbit flicked his ears from within the cage.

Hes so fluffy

Just then, Haku-san suddenly appeared in the room. Like a ninja she probably used [Teleport]wait, no, it was probably the menus [Placement] function. At the very least, the capital was within Haku-sans territory.

Sorry to keep you waiting. I see youve started?

Haku Ane-sama.

Rokuko walked over to Haku-san.

Haku sama. Thankyuu for helping me for this

For the Demon King Faction to set their eyes on you, you were in a tough spot, No. 629.

Nkyuu. Seriously.

Orange settled onto his hind legs and stamped twice. It felt like it was the rabbits way of showing stress.

It was natural hed be stressed, though whether that was due to the Demon King Faction or Haku-san, well. Well.

Right, lets ask him whats been on my mind.

Say, Orange, howd you manage to contact Haku-san? Its not like you hopped all the way to the capital, right? Youd definitely have gotten yourself hunted by someone.

Nkyuu!? Dont say something so scary! But I wanna know kyuu! I was just holding my head from the stress and Hakusama, just appeared kyuu. So I yielded to her!

Yep. I get the feeling that a rabbit would just yield as the default but alright?

With that, I looked over to Haku-san, who gave her response while embracing Rokuko.

I received a declaration of war from the Demon King Faction, saying [We will destroy your factions dungeon]. So then when I inspected the place they mentioned, I found you.

Cmon nkyuu. They didnt listen to me at all uuu, they just found me when I was frolicking in the meadow

Orange stamped the ground again.

By the way, is Orange No. 629s name?

Yeah, it was hard for me to keep using a number as his name.

Hmm. So, were you able to become his master as well?

No?

Looks like Haku-san caught on to me wanting to experiment. Orange himself didnt seem to notice though. He didnt, but he still tilted his head is puzzlement.

Ohh, right! How should I improve my dungeon?

Hm? Right. First, I will be giving Kehma-san some DP. Please cooperate with him to somehow make it through the Demon King Factions assault.

Youre skillfully delegating your work away, Haku-san.

Rather than me giving the instructions, I believe that leaving it to Kehma-san will certainly produce more amusingwell-suited results.

She definitely just said amusing there. Well, I guess Haku-san wants to see at least a little of whats up my sleeve.

Which is why I will be officially allowing you to join my faction, Orange. You are welcome.

Hahaha~! My deepest thanks nkyuu!

Orange bowed his head. His hind leg seemed to stamp the ground there for a sec, but lets pretend I didnt see it.

By the way, are there any other factions than yours, Haku-san?

Most of the dungeons in the Raverio Empire are mine. Its not as absolute as in the Demon King Faction or the Dragon King Faction, though.

Which is why they mistook me for being in the Betrayers Faction nkyuu

Ah, he just said betrayer, there. Well, Orange was also in the Betrayers Faction, its just official now.

Uuu, even I was basikyuuly in the Beast King Faction

Right. I was wanting to ask about that, too. Whos this Beast King person?

Core No. 8.

Id asked Orange the question, but Haku-san responded with an audible frankness.

Although beast-type cores generally belong to his faction, they also follow the law of the jungle and push their children into bottomless pits and leave them there.

So what youre saying is that they forsake the weak ones?

Kyuun

I started to feel like the orange rabbit was pitiable Alright, I have to properly help him in this Dungeon Battle!

Alright then, it looks like our meeting is now at its end, so how about we go examine the area?

Haku-san recited the incantation for [Teleport]. It wouldve been different if it was just Haku-san and Misha, but she couldnt use dungeon deployment since were all going as well.

Wrapped in [Teleport]s light, we appeared in the meadow.

You could say it was a sea of grass for as far as the eye could see. This vast meadow was Oranges dungeon? Or perhaps were underground and this just looks like a vast grassland?

Nkyuu, my dungeons around a fifty meter circumference around here. Ummm, my holes somewhere around here, but. o-ooh, here, here it is nkyuu~

Orange was hopping through the grass and stopped at a spot with some exposed dirt.

So he put an illusion over it to make it so that enemies wouldnt find it? I see

You could sprain your ankle if you didnt see it and fell in.

Fu fu fu! And then well beat em up! Horned rabbits, armored rabbits, magic rabbits, soldier rabbits~, everyone, Im baaack!

After descending the stairs, I saw a big room. There were rabbits that looked like armadillos and others with a single horn sprouting from their heads. I guess theyre the horned rabbits and armored rabbits he was talking about.

They all twitched their noses. They seemed to be saying [Welcome back~] I guess Translation Function-san doesnt work with rabbit speech?

Welcome back~

Any souvenirs~!?

Something stinks~

Oh, there it goes. I could understand what the three horned rabbits were saying Thisll make it feel weird next time I go to eat rabbit meat.

And Meat, I can see your tail wagging back and forth there, but you cant hunt them, okay? Really.

Nmu nmu. Oh, Kehma. This is my dungeon, nkyuu, and these guys stop people here. The magic rabbits and soldier rabbits run out from that room there and pincer them~. Nokyuu intruders ever made it past! Its the best strategy!

I see. But that Demon King Faction guy walked in and out?

He stopped when he saw my core while the armored rabbits were holding him back. Nkyuuu, if he continued, hed have killed everyone

Orange kicked the ground in frustration. He seemed to be aware of his own strength.

Well, up until then it was probably just beginner adventurers hunting rabbits. I mean, even D-Ranks were considered to have graduated from rabbit hunting back in Tsuia.

Still though, getting swarmed by monsters as soon as they entered would definitely do in a rookie.

You could even call their 0% return rate a splendid achievement for a dungeon, an existence that turned lives into DPNourishment. It also had a disadvantage, though.

At the very least, it was definitely much better of a dungeon than ours when I became its master.

Did you think of that strategy yourself?

I was taught it by my rabbit-type core seniors nkyuu. We may be rabbits, but if we swarm them, we can win.

Oh, so theres other rabbit-type cores. Heeh come to think of it, wasnt something said about Setsunas father being a rabbit-type core? Maybe its one of them.

As I thought about such irrelevant things, Haku-san wrapped her arms around Rokuko from behind and asked me a question.

So, Kehma-san. Do you think you could frustrate the Demon King Faction with this dungeon?

Id like a little more information. Like who were up against.

So youre not saying you cant?

Just as Haku-san smiled, Rokuko rubbed her nose with a prideful humph.

Err, she was praising me there though?
