Lets Make More Rooms

Ah, that was a good rest is still hard to say. I want a better futon

Morning. You really sleep all day dont you get tired of it?

Nope.

Well, please explain though I want you to, check out the DP.

When I opened the menu to check it out, there was 857 DP.

Hmm? Oh, it went up all of a sudden. That was dangerous.

You knew?

Yeah? Ah, I heard it more or less. What happened?

Adventurers attacked.

From what I heard, the bandits standing guard seemed to notice adventurers heading towards the dungeon. They ambushed them in the passageway from a blind spot in the room.

They then killed the four adventurers. It appears the bandits were uninjured.

So then the bandits took off the adventurers gear and took care of the corpses. Then they pushed em against the dungeon core. Even if they didnt do that I would have absorbed them. It seems they understood when I absorbed a corpse they didnt do that to though.

I see, so they attacked inside the dungeon huh. Arent the bandits smarter than Rokuko?

Whats that supposed to mean!?

Of course it means what I said you know?

Rokuko, who had been grinning, was now sulking from hearing that.

But why? Why did adventurers come that is.

You even though you yourself said that adventurers come once or twice a month

Oh. Come to think of it, I did say something like that huh?

This cave is probably used to train adventurers while fighting against small fry like the goblins or something. Without destroying the dungeon core, and with what they call this place, its probably used to train rookies. Probably to come and see a real dungeon core.

Well, the result of whether rookies could come to such an [Ordinary Cave] like this and fight eight bandits are as you can see.

The bandits, as well as five goblins, couldnt lose against what looks like were six rookies. Since they didnt think theyd lose, they robbed, they killed. Because theyre bandits.

Well, with this, the steel helmet and letter from yesterday have had an effect on them.

Bandits want money. So long as we act friendly and demonstrate it is in their interest, using items to satisfy their greed for cash cash, theyll cooperate with us. Therefore, in order for the bandits to stay in the cave I showed them the steel helmet and letter then, they would procure adventurer corpses for us to turn into DP.

In the case they fought outside of the cave, they probably wouldnt have brought the corpses back to the place they slept since they dont seem to have the fetish for that. But if they could make corpses disappear without a trace absorbing them into the dungeon core would decrease their chances of being found. They would even get treasure, too. So theyll probably bring them back here.

Besides, even if it leaks out to the adventurer guild, theyll realize theres not even anything to gain from removing the bandits from an [Ordinary Cave].

Therefore, with thoughts like [I want to be in this cave] and [I want treasure], even if they call it the [work of bandits], adventurers will definitely be gotten rid of. That they ambushed them inside the cave was a pleasant bonus.

Though if you thought about it, the best thing to do would be to run away without fighting but yeah, they dont seem to have thought of that. Its good theyre idiots.

Kehma, isnt if fine even if the bandits go away?

No, it isnt fine. We cant massacre them if they run away. Then wouldnt the DP I got at great pains be wasted? Being wasteful is no good. I have to wring earnings from them.

Though youre a human the same as them you call them DP. Kehma, I respect you a little~.

Thanks, then Im going back to sleep. Good night.

You just got up and youre already going to bed

Are you stupid? I wouldnt be able to go back to sleep if I didnt just wake up.

Even though it was my plan to kill adventurers, my conscience doest feel anything from it.

Well, the bandits did kill them on their own when I was sleeping, and I didnt see the said corpses either. I wonder if Ill wind up directly killing someone here before long? Whatll I think then?

Whatever, its fine since Ive already become something called a dungeon master. I feel refreshed from going to sleep. Our DP also increased a little.

Increase the amount of rooms. Buy another box too. Is there still ink?

Eh- yeah. There is? But, to make a room that costs 850 of the precious DP?

Rokuko replied in disappointment as she looked at the DP catalog of monsters that could be summoned for 800 DP and below.

Hahaha, is this blonde-haired loli learning?

Well, adding rooms lets see, though I am able put items down when theres invaders, I can only take monsters out from the dungeon core and cant add rooms. Then how will I get the bandits to go out? They dont look particularly easy to defeat either Well, go ahead write what I say.

Bossss! A box appeared again!

Oh! Whatre you waiting for, move!

The bandits boss jumped up from the floor. No, he literally jumped up to open the box.

Inside of it is whats this? His head tilted as he saw what was inside.

A pillow? But magic items are!

Despite giving me a steel helmet for five goblins, whats with this shabby thing for four adventurer corpses? Was the number the important part?

While the bandits boss thought that, an underling read out the words written inside the box.

Y6CgSK6

[You saved me! Youre pretty strong! I want tothank you! Since theywerein thedungeonpresentquickly. I amaddingrooms. Since itsdangerouseveryone gooutside. Pleasego outsidesoon.]

I see, so the present is more rooms? Since it was definitely small when all eight of them entered, it might have been taking that into account.

So, agreeing with that, they all went outside the cave.

As soon as they left the caves entrance, there were immediately crunching rock sounds echoing from the cave.

About ten minutes went by. Going inside shortly after the noises stopped, the dungeon core that was on the floor until now was missing and there was a passage which lead inside along with a wooden door. A little flustered, they went inside and saw one more room on each side of the passage. Two more rooms in total were added, with the dungeon core in the room on the right.

In addition to the two added rooms, there was the same room that was part of the cave since the start. It felt strange that the place they called a hideout had a wooden door.

It only took ten minutes for the cave to expand. Would it probably have taken about a month if it were done by manpower? No, if there was a skilled magician it might have been done at the same speed.

Three rooms in all. It simply increased to three times the amount until now. Moreover, there seems to be a single bed installed in the left room. Was the pillow from the box put there for this?

Was this prepared for me? Whats this, arent you a cute fellow.

The bandits boss muttered so.

*

Dammit why, why did you spend 440 DP for a guy like that!

Oi oi, 10 DP for the box and pillow, 20 DP for two wooden doors, 10 DP for a bed thats altogether 40 DP used for the bandits, what are you talking about?

Hah? That room was 200 DP you know.

Thats a stupid thing to say. That room is different from the steel helmet, it cant be taken from the dungeon to be sold for money. Its our fixed asset.

Rokuko stupidly tilted her head to the side when she didnt understand what I said.

Yeah, this is a dungeon core in another world, and her appearance is different than her age this blonde-haired loli is probably younger than she looks. Almost definitely.

I expanded the dungeon because it was necessary. Ill teach you the advantage in having more rooms if we can have six goblins per room, with three rooms you can place up to eighteen of them.

Wow, thats incredible! Lets add more rooms!

Yup, you consenting to that is even more incredible.

Wait, huh? T-this is serious! Though there was 860 DP its gone now!

Oh, its because I used it

Eh? W-what did you use it on!?

Look, this.

I showed the dungeon map from the menu.

I left the entrance momentarily, and outside of the passage I had made a cave similar to the original cave a bit of a distance away. 200 DP for the room, 30 DP for five meters of pathway. Though since I didnt have to make a pathway outside of the cave, I made it close to one kilometer away. It ended up quite cheap, though it used the rest of the DP.

Hah, I never would have thought about extending the dungeon outside of the entrance. Thats a different way of thinking. Well, why did you do it? Isnt it an obvious waste of DP?

Ah, be glad. This is your hearts desire, the goblin room!

Yay~ Eh, my hearts desire?

Arent goblins your favorite?

Isnt she always with the send a goblin send a goblin?

Thats why I though that Rokuko liked goblins. To be surrounded and served by goblins.

No, I dont have any feelings like that.

I dont mind. To each their own. You are unrelated to your goblin fetish, partner.

No, what do you mean!? Whats with that I understand face!?

By the way, Im not a lolicon. I have a foot fetish. My evaluation of Rokukos feet is good.

No no no! Really, what do you mean!? Moreover, youre looking down on me!

For the time being, the DP was exhausted, so I went to sleep for the third time.
