Chapter 34

Difference Between Postwar Treatment and Words

It was my complete defeat.

To deal with the postwar affairs, Haku-san visited the [Ordinary Cave] again.

Chloe was wearing the same butler clothing as usual.

I may have lost, but I learned many wonderful things through the battle. I surely didnt think that rats would go that far. To turn your scouts into warriors

Although she was certain that the rats were scouts, she didnt think they would be able to defeat the boss even if they got that far.

In truth, she had thought that a second group of golems would gain control of map pioneered by the rats.

He was struck with the idea of having a midget strategy when he saw the Minotaur. Since he had nothing to lose, he decided to use fifty of the remaining rats to kill Mino-san with a suicide attack.

By the way, since the rats were ordered to limit their living space to the forest to survive, he would probably use them again sooner or later.

I didnt think I wouldnt be able to find even one of the Dummy Cores. Where did you put the dungeon core in the end? If you dont mind, could you tell me?

Give me an additional 50,000 DP and Ill tell you.

Oh me, is something so small fine? Then please tell me. If I dont know, I might not be able to sleep tonight.

Crap, I said it as a joke but she said shed pay it.

No helping it, Ill answer her. I dont need to say where the Dummy Cores were though.

However, since the real core was set up in a place that was a huge joke, she might get a bit angry from the answer.

To tell the truth, this dungeon continues around one kilometer away, theres a small room. I put it there.

The direction I pointed to? The goblin room.

I thought about bringing it back at first, but wound up leaving it there in the end.

As I thought, Haku-san was speechless Though, it didnt feel like she was angry. It was more like admiration.

Really, looking closely I do see mana connecting not just in front of this cave, but extending outside of the dungeon I didnt notice.

Installing the dungeon core outside of the first floor such a bold move, surprising isnt it, Ojou-sama.

No. 89 Ane-samas teachings were right after all!

Yep, she doesnt understand why, but Rokuko found the idea amusing.

You just disregarded everything but a single room and made nothing else.

Haah, the labyrinth was splendid, it was my first time seeing that usage ah, those pitfall traps were a big gamble. Though I used Minotaurs as primary war potential this time, I could have had my forces comprise of something weightless like Wraiths. The best thing that I saw was installing two floors above and below.

Definitely, the pitfall traps wouldnt have activated if that were the case. Well, they also wouldnt have found the hidden passages inside the pitfalls.

Ah, the homemade pitfall traps didnt cost DP, but that might have been impossible to tell just from looking.

Since she especially advised me, I didnt do something as boorish as correct her. It was better to keep quiet on that.

Also gu, that [Gate of Wisdom] was that a riddle from your world?

Yeah. Weeell, it was hard to come up with. There werent many riddles I couldve use there.

Is that so its fine already, so please let me hit you once.

Hahaha, Ill decline.

It was probably very vexing. I didnt tell her that Rokuko solved it in three seconds.

Im not very interested in riddles so I dont use them.

What, so you used wordplay. Somehow, it seems its translating on its own

Right, for instance, I had told Rokuko, The futon blew up.

She heard something like, The futon burst. That kind of thing. The traditional Japanese gag didnt go along with it.

Therefore, for instance [What is the doctor that can only break cars?] [Answer: Dentists (Kanji for dentist reads the same as out-of-service vehicle)], the wordplay solution for the riddle didnt go through.

Furthermore, riddles that relied on the shapes of words were out. To begin with, the characters were different.

Since theres no problem if theres an image, I plan on using that next time.

Together with remembering how amazing magic is over and over, I should give up on memorizing this worlds language. It translates itself too much, I cant study. I could probably do it if I did my best, but I dont feel like doing that.

Right, Ane-sama, get this! My name is Rokuko now. It comes from 695 in another worlds language! Ro is 6, ku is 9, and ko is 5!

Rokuko didnt even know the origin of her own name.

When I noticed that and told her, she was really happy for some reason. I thought that shed be angry that her name came from a number since it was a serious thing, but it looked like she was really happy about it. I dont get dungeon cores tastes.

Other than the digits was [No.], it might be a unique rule.

! Thats amazing, such a wonderful name ahh, Im envious.

So, call me Rokuko from now on, No. 89 Ane-sama.

Yes, I understand. Rokuko-chan Haah, so good. Im Haku since my hair is white, you know? Really, Master has the worst taste

Huh? Haku-san, isnt it Haku since thats number eight and nine?

When I unintentionally cut in, Haku-san suddenly stopped.

Why would No. 89 turn into white? Wait, by some chance, is that how it is in the other world?

Well theres a few meanings to it really, but well, it can be read as Haku. White too, same with No. 89.

Haku-san closed her eyes for a moment, pressing down on her temple.

It seems shes thinking about something.

After a while, she opened her mouth.

Rokuko-chan. From now on, could you call me Haku? If thats how it is, it matches another worlds numbers.

Yes, Haku Ane-sama!

I wonder if she still feels some complicated things about it? Haku-san pat Rokukos head while smiling.

Right, the story drifted off course for a moment. I really did want to review some more, but even if it doesnt look like it, I am very busy Because a new dungeon has now been made, I need to process it Ah, Ive been wondering what that last thing was, but it would be inelegant to ask about a dungeons trump card, wouldnt it?

That last thing meaning the [Hidden Gems].

I feel itd be fine to tell her, but she might have fun trying to figure it out herself.

Well then, Rokuko-chan. How about I transfer the DP now?

Y-yesh!

Taking Rokukos hand with a smile, Haku smiled gladly.

It was 150,000 DP with the information fee included.

Though she said she was busy, she took her time deliberately transferring it mouth-to-mouth with her.

Thanks for the treat.
