469 The possession test.

Kehma, Its almost 8:00.

Oops. Is it that time already?

After listening to everyones opinions, Im was about to renovate the dungeon, but it seems that I will need to save it for later.

Well, thats okay. Lets take it easy on the construction when theres time. Were not in a hurry, and Im still trying to sort the idea.

Rokuko and I decided to move to the Master room for safety reasons. Lets try it now, we will see if I can posses Narikin or not.

The map doesnt show Narikin position; thats given since they are way out of range, but since Narikin is a named monster, he could be selected as a target in the name list of the [Posses] function.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in an unfamiliar room lit by a fish lamp. Narikins body was lying on a hard bed, so this was probably Pavueras inn. Rokufa was sitting in a chair next to the bed.

Oh, did it work?

I did it hi, Narikin.

It seems that Rokuko was able to possess Rokufa successfully.

Good morning, sir, maam. It looks like you were able to successfully possessed them.

A maid with a stinky smile waits at the entrance of the room. Its an assassin possessed by Toy.

Okay , Toy uh, no, what should I call you?

It doesnt matter if its Toy, Niku, Hey or You? Its a fake name anyway. For reference, this bodys code name is Phantom, and the fake name I had prepared is Nana.

So be it then, lets call you Nana. Nana, what with that appearance?

She was wearing the maids outfit that is common in this world simple wear with little ornamentation or frills. I dont think she was dressed like this when they left.

We procured it in the town of Pavuera. It seemed more convenient for me to follow you two as your escort and attendant to the couple. If you are unhappy with that, I can change it?

No need to, that was a good call.

Wife fufufu, yes. Good, very good.

Rokuko seems to like it too. Yeah, if you call me Husband and I called you my Wife, theyll be less likely to be suspicious of Narikin when other people called him, and I didnt respond.

It might not mean much to Rokufa, though, since she uses a similar name.

Also, I have a suggestion.

What is it?

This was from Narikin and Rokufa. Is it possible to make them possess small animals when they are about to be possessed? That way, we can save a hassle of information sharing.

I see. Thats a good idea.

Yeah. Im proud of you, Rokufa. Really, really proud, Narikin, go pet Rokufa.

And Rokufa (Rokuko inside) offered her head Yeah, I dont know if stroking her head would be count as a compliment to Rokufa? Well, Ill still pet it.

With a clinking sound, I patted Rokufas head with the iron gauntlets right hand. Narikin is humanized, but its only on his head part; if seen from the other side, it will make me look like a rude person.

It hurts a little bit. You need to practice patting more, Keep going.

Oh, O-Okay.

I no longer know for what Im pat her for, but for now, I opened the menu function with my left hand while continuing to pat Rokufas blue hair with my right hand. Hmmm, first transfer some DP for Narikin; the functions seem to work properly, this seems to be still within my dungeon range.

We need to prepare a small animal to possess now. Would a little bird do for Rokufa? Since it can fly too. Oh, I think Ill turn Narikin into a hedgehog. Hedgehogs are cute, arent they?

Narikin, I think you should make them both common little birds, dont you think so?

Well, thats true too.

And its better for our purpose. Its cheaper than anything else. 1 DP each, and 2 DP together.

So I quickly summoned a small bird with DP. The form is like a striped enaga. I give it to Nana for a while. Its a dungeon product, so its faithful to our orders, and wont need a birdcage or anything.

Let them wear ribbons to differentiate them.

Understood, Master.

Now were about to possess them, we could first go ahead and possess this little bird and see whats going on. Then we could discuss things like how many seconds later were going to possess them; Ill also give this bird a name.

Lets name them Turan and Seaver.

What does that mean?

Two radio that will serve as transceiver{turan-seaver}, well, its one of those otherworlds long-distance communication devices.

Well, okay.

So, I released the possession for today. The first stage of the experiment was a success. I decided to have him move towards the Holy Kingdom as it is. Basically, they will contact me once a day using possession (including possession of a little bird), and if they cant, they will have to turn back.

That was quite an interesting experience to go into a body that isnt yours.

Rokuko stretches out in the bed that is always available in the master room.

Eleca, the fairy I summoned to manage the dungeon, brings me a water glass, so I accept it and take a sip. Phew.

But this bed size on the Master room is a bit uncomfortable; this just my whim, but I want to make it bigger just a little.

Oh, we only going to use it to sleep while possession is activated anyway, so dont bother? Or do you want to build a little room that only allowed me and Kehma in? Ah!

And after saying this, Rokuko suddenly widens her eyes. She seemed to have realized something important in her words.

Kehma! Thats right, Haku-nee-sama will never be able to peep on us here! Because we are in the core, and not even Dolce can go in here, isnt that what Kehma worried about?

Eh, uh, well, yeah, thats right?

Plus, if you tell Dolce and the others that youll need to make sure of our safety when we are doing possession, we will have an alibi to hole ourselves up in this Master room! Thats right, this Master room is the perfect place to be completely hidden from Haku-nee-sama.

Rokuko is closing her distance, her face almost touching mine.

well, thats true?

Yes! also, if youre worried about the eyes of Eleca and others, just build a small hut instead of a room, just for the two of us, we didnt have to go to the Demon Kingdom to spend time alone!

This is it! Rocco said with a proud smile.

How could I not have noticed that! Isnt this great, Kehma?

Yeah, well thats the problem, Rokuko.

What do you mean?

Even if they dont come in here in the master room, our reaction will reveal it to Dolce and others if were that happy.

When I said that, Rokuko is silenced.

Dolce-san and the others arent incompetent; in fact, they can handle something outside the expected plan. If we were to flirt and trying to hide it like that, they would soon find out, probably by the next day.

B-But Ill do my best to control it.

No, Im the one who wont be able to control it, so Ill refuse. Im going to be so obvious that Im sure Ill be interrogated and ripped apart the day after So, at least save that idea after we get rid of the assassin source, and the escort from Haku has been withdrawn from this village.

So Kehma is the one that wont be able to hold back? T-then then, I guess I have no choice tehehe.

Rokuko smiled a sloppy smile with a grin.

After that, we returned to the inn, but Dolce-san appeared from nowhere and asked, Did something happen to Rokuko-sama? she asked me with a smile, but her eyes werent smiling at all (Her eyes were glowing red, probably her lie detection magic is activated.)

After all, Rokuko-sama seemed very happy, so I came to ask you because I was curious.

Yeah. This is what Im talking about, Rokuko.
