The Inns Program

The story about the slums dark slave trader is horrible.

Well, Ill just bust apart the slums then! Free all of the beastkin slaves! I have no intention of doing any of that. I dont feel like taking responsibility.

If I can do away with all danger Ill do so, though to start with I dont think I can do that. Hero, I beg you, be an unparalleled soft-heart.

Meat was doing her best to liberate herself from Ichikas chest. She was starting to suffocate.

Oops! Sorry, Meat-senpai. Ya alright?

Y-yesh

She seems a bit dizzy, but it looks like shes fine.

Ah, Kehma. Our conversation wandered a bit, but please give me more details on that [Setting] thing from a bit ago.

Hmm? I was just saying Id put Rokuko in charge of the slaves to deal with adventurers. I would

I decided to talk about the inns program.

Though the reason I wanted to build an inn in the first place was to secure a place to sleep, the Ordinary Cave suddenly turned into a better dungeon than the average one. What now?

Answer: Something that isnt suspicious.

That being the case, I decided to explain it to them in order to get us on the same page.

First of all, the matter of Haku-san actually being a cooperator.

The owner of this inn is Rokuko-san, the younger sister of the A-Rank adventurer, Haku-san. It was made so quickly because we had the help of Haku-sans adventurer acquaintances. So far so good?

Certainly, if Haku Ane-samas acquaintances helped out an inn could be built in a day. Like it was brought from somewhere. Though it was actually Kehma.

Right. Well, even though me building it is a secret, its a hassle.

I got her agreement. Haku-san gave me the conditions for the situation of Rokuko being the [A-Rank Adventurer Haku]s [Younger Sister].

I had to pledge that Rokuko wouldnt be against her social position. Though there may be people who would attack Rokuko due to a grudge against Haku-san, this is a dungeon. We could just retreat to to the master room if it gets dangerous. We could even be there however long we need.

And since I just happened to be nearby and ran into Haku-san, I decided to lend Rokuko, who was Haku-sans younger sister, some slaves to work for her. Then, I became a good-for-nothing adventurer that just sleeps all day after renting out one of the inns rooms. Thats the [Setting].

Kehma just wants to sleep that [Setting] is really just

Whatre you talking about Rokuko, in reality I would be the dungeon master.

Ah, thats right!

Well, I didnt lie since I didnt say that I wont be the dungeon master!

Besides, slaves work to comfort their owner. In a sense its how it should be.

Though it looks like things such as inn repair and dungeon administering are things that only I can do

Hmm? If thats how the [Setting] will be, hows Kehma gonna do anythin?

I made the room to be easy to sneak in and out of. Could I do my work as a dungeon master in front of other people?

Thats true

Well, there might be some various other things that stand out.

However, theyll just let small inconsistencies slide with [Well, its because hes an A-Rank adventurer]!

Its perfect!

Right? I can sleep soundly then~

Hey Goshujin-sama and Rokuko-sama, the A-rank adventurer do you really know Haku, the [White-Winged Goddess]?

That? Yeah, theres no problem since weve gotten permission from her. She said we could use her name as much as we liked if its for Rokuko.

S-seriously? If so well, un, theres a tsukkomi to toss in there but its kay. The [White-Winged Goddess] is an A-Rank thats friends with the higher ups in the imperial capital. Her partner, the [Black-Winged Devil] Chloe, and the other four of her party members, the [Four Kings], make up the S-Rank party known as the [Dungeon Busters] when they are all present. They have so much power that ya have no choice but to accept it no matter what.

Ichika was saying that it would probably be alright.

Incidentally, the reason the inn was set up at the dungeon here was Haku-sans whim. She transferred ownership to Rokuko, a relative that she trusted. That was the setting I asked Haku-san for in advance.

It was a setting where she could drop by and visit the inn on the pretext that she was coming to see her younger sister.

Most of all, Haku-san oversaw the making of this setting you could even say it was more or less Haku-sans idea.

After the dungeon battle, Haku-san asked, What will you do from now on?

I answered, Make an inn.

But then, Ah, then how about making Rokuko its owner? That way, itll be fine to give my cooperation. You can use my name as an adventurer, but in return, do it properly alright?

Shed given me the green light.

I didnt think that far ahead though.

Though I wanted a hot-spring hotel, it wouldnt have just been at the level of suspicious or out of place if an inn just suddenly sprung up next to a dungeon. When I was wondering what to do, I got an excuse by using an A-Rank adventurer to bulldoze the problem.

Or rather, Haku-san even went past my expectations as an adventurer even their nickname was awesome, the [Dungeon Busters]. Did they destroy dungeons? Well, other than her own [White Labyrinth] I guess.

But since Rokuko-sama is her sister, the [Dungeon Busters] leader is a dungeon core. The irony is hilarious yknow.

Hahaha. Thats right huh? Just the fact that the leader is a dungeon core is enough.

Ah, Ichika still doesnt know about Haku-sans identity. Even if shes a slave, I dont think its something to just lightly say to her though.

What? Its fine yeah? Its alright like this you know?

Really, Im just taking Ichikas detailed common sense from this world and condensing it down to the finer points, I think its fine?

To say it myself, I think my persuasiveness is flawed~.

I dont need to think about being something like Haku-sans mysterious earth mage acquaintance, Narikin, right? Doesnt seem necessary [1]

I dont actually need to go and make a secret disguise right?

Footnotes:

Narikin means Upstart. Well, it both does and doesnt~Return
