Departure and the plan to renovate the dungeon.

Well, since our possession monster is ready, lets call Toy later and tell her to get ready. Though for now, I will continue to experiment with this function.

At the moment, theres one thing Ive found out about possession thats troubling.

Narikin and Rokufa have no consciousness while possessed. They have no memory from the time we possessed them to the time we release the Possession.

The inability to share memories while possessed may hinder our activities, but thats where Toy (to be exact an assassin who she possesses, she looks like an adventurers scout girl) to take care of that.

With the [Possession] by Toys skill, youll be completely stunned once the [Possession] is removed. Narikin and Rokufa version is better in that aspect.

Kehma-sama, if you dont mind, please feel free to use my body while I possess her, okay?

I dont wanna.

Toys [Possession] also puts her original body to sleep, just like the dungeons [Possession].

Toys body protection? Ill put her in a cell in the inns underground prison. She will be left in a sturdy, lockable room with no visitors.

It would be a lie to say I have no ulterior motive, but, well, you dont want anyone messing up your body while you sleep, do you? Ill make sure you have a duplicate key so you can open the door from the inside.

Therefore, youll have to go to Pavuera today. Well have you travel in the unpossessed state during the day, and we will see if we can possess you at night. If we cant possess you, come back immediately.

Understood. Im off now.

Master-sama, Rokuko-sama, Ill be expecting for you tonight at 8:00.

I give Narikin the golem pocket watch. Ill use that to align our time.

Bowing reverently, Narikin and Rokufa left with an adventurer, Toy (the possessed assassin).

*

Now, Kehma, youre free until 8:00. You wanna go on a date?

I think I will modify the dungeon in the meantime.

My. Thats nice to hear, but we are on a stable moment at this time, and I dont think we need to rush?

Well, yeah, but I need to have a quick word with the succubus village too.

Lately, theres been a lot of information about the Succubus Village, and the people who hear about it are preparing an equipment thats just barely worth stripping off to attack the dungeon.

It might be better to charge a fee to open up the dungeons at the lower level, but Id like to make the necessary adjustments to the dungeons since it would be bad for newbie adventurer education (shes a dungeon, so it might be a waste of time for Rokuko).

That kind of info was circulating in the guild? I didnt know that.

thats because Rokuko is prohibited to peek on Succubus Village.

Wont they be defeated by the succubus then?

Ive told the Succubus to spare their lives, and just strip them, so I heard theyre treating it as a bonus stage in the Cave of Desire

If they had even taken their lives, they might have taken this more seriously, but since they didnt, its recognized as one of the most appropriate gimmicks for the Cave of Desire.

Rei has reported to me that this seems to be a modestly good income and a (meaningful) breather for the succubus, thanks to a few enthusiastic repeat customers.

Ive heard that theres a lot of information on how to get to the Succubus Village efficiently. Also, theres a warehouse area in the middle of the dungeon, so the amount of magic sword golem blades has been looted is increased. Thats why Im thinking of rebuilding this area as well.

Some people use the information to bring back the magic sword golem blade and redeem it. Or rather, thats supposedly the proper use of that information.

I see.

Thats why I thought Id at least moving the magic sword storage area to the back. And while Im at it, I thought Id renovate something else as well.

Hmm. Do you have any good ideas of what you want to do?

The Magic Sword Trial Room is [Greed] and the Succubus Village is [Lust], so maybe I should also make [Pride], [Wrath], [Gluttony], [Envy] and [Sloth] and name them after the seven deadly sins.

[Sloth] is a fitting word for the avarice inn at the end of the labyrinth.

Well, there was that one. So, there are four left then.

Why dont we call the arena area as [Pride] or [Wrath] for the boss room.

The way you put it is like you want just to get rid of something troublesome Im not going to let you cut corners on this dungeon(me) design, okay? Besides, since you said that, wouldnt it make the riddle area to be [Envy] or something, so lets think up the other four.

If thats what Rokuko says, its cannot be helped then.

Oh, maybe its an excellent idea to create a key that you will need to gather.

Until you solve all the puzzles and collect all the key, the door to the true (dummy)core wont open.

I dont mind the Seven Deadly Sins naming style, but what the are you going to do with [Gluttony] part? Do you want to make orcs and minotaurs only floor?

Thats an actually nice idea, but Id like to ask Ichika and others for their opinion.

She was called an appetite demon by the villages people, so we might get a good idea from her.

Then maybe you should ask Rei and the others for their opinions in [Pride], [Wrath] and [Envy]

Niku also needs to give her opinion; its not good to leave her out.

Well the number of questions and people is not matching

Why you need to match the number? Just ask all of them three times on each subject.

So I decided to call them up in the order in which they were available and ask them if they had any good idea.
