The Eggs Identity

Come to think of it, Rokuko spent 10,000 DP on an egg a while ago.

We dont know what it is, but Haku-san probably does.

Because of that, we consulted her about the egg that had grown about as big as a softball.

I have no idea why an egg is growing though. Mysterious.

This is it Haku Ane-sama, do you know what it is?

Oh my, this is its the first time Ive seen one in a while, a phoenix egg their meat is quite delicious you know?

According to Haku-sans appraisal, it seemed it was a phoenix egg. And it seems that a phoenixs meat is delicious I wonder if phoenixes are all-you-can-eat meals?

An existence who is like a mass of magical power even its blood is medicinal. Theres a lot of various uses for it, its not that useful as a monster though.

It isnt strong?

Even though it can revive itself if it dies, its basically just a bird thats on fire you know? Its considered a B-Rank monster when assigned for subjugations because its an unusual existence, but for simple combat even a solo C-Rank adventurer can hunt it.

Hmm, so it doesnt look like I can make it into a dungeon boss.

Maybe itd be fine if I just make it appear as a rare monster in the dungeon?

Incidentally, it needs to be as hot as possible for it to hatch just putting it inside fire isnt enough. It wont die even if its frozen though. Even though its an egg, its still a phoenix.

Furthermore, it looks like itll revive even if the egg is broken. How it does that is a mystery.

It looks like a phoenix can only die of old age. Though since it seems that itll turn back into an egg when its old, calling it a death is questionable.

A phoenix huuuh, thanks for telling us, Haku Ane-sama I want to thank you somehow, what should I do?

Fufu, Rokuko-chans feelings are plenty enough Ah, but umm, the massage chair in that room I want it, but umm, is that no good? If needed I can pay with DP?

Ooh, a business chance. Gotta increase its worth as much as I can.

Aah~ so that~? Its just ticklish for me, not that pleasant Kehma, cant we just give it to her for free?

Theres no way! Is what I want to say, but were constantly receiving help from Haku-san, so I guess its fine?

Oh my, really? Im glad.

Haku-sans face was smiling, but there was something she wasnt saying: I wonder what your angle is?

I returned the best smile I could muster. My face hurts.

No really, its just our goodwill. If anything, please continue to favor our [Dancing Dolls Pavilion] from now on alright?

Theres no need to even ask. And?

Yes, and since it might trouble us after this Id like it if you could tell us about that dungeon on the other side of the mountain.

Oh my, its simple if thats all.

Haku-san laughed lightly and gave us information about the dungeon on the other side of the mountain.

Its name is [Flame Cavern]. Its location was exactly on the opposite side of Tsuia Mountain.

Adventurers had to be at least C-Rank to enter it. For information disclosure, they also needed to be at least C-Rank.

Monsters that appear in it are fundamentally of the fire type. Occasionally there would be a ground type.

Fire type monsters are things like a magma slime or red lizard.

Well, that much could be gotten from the guild if you were at least a C-Rank adventurer.

After that, Haku-san gave information that you couldnt get from the guild.

Its dungeon core was a salamander type. No. 112.

Salamander type huh. So it doesnt have to be humanoid.

There arent many human types. Thats why I dote so much on Rokuko-chan.

Eh. So this person was self aware that she doted on her?

Also, it appears that the [Flame Cavern] had a dungeon master.

Moreover, it was a dragon. It was originally a red dragon that built its nest on Tsuia Mountain and was now the dungeons master.

Dragons like to hoard shiny things. Its sure to have a lot of treasure you know?

No, more importantly, a dragon? So dragons can also be masters huh.

So long as the person has intelligence, they are suitable for becoming a master Or maybe the condition was something like having a name? Its not talked about often, the conditions for becoming a master still arent well known.

Come to think of it I still dont really know how I became Rokukos master huh

From what she told me, once a dungeon core is attached to a master they cant attach themselves to a new master on their own.

Ah, right. If you have a dungeon battle with that dungeon, dont use that rat strategy to win.

Eh? Why not?

That dungeons floors are fundamentally hot. Its not a problem if youre wearing boots, but its probably too severe for rats. At best their feet would be burnt after the first floor.

I heard something good. I probably wouldve mass produced some roasted rats if I didnt know about this beforehand.

Actually, I shouldnt assume that well have a dungeon battle. From now on I could just think about ways to not be at a disadvantage well, itd cut down on my sleeping hours right? I went to great lengths to be able to sleep for twelve hours a day recently.

I obtained some rough information from Haku-san.

At any rate, I was able to buy some very useful information. Im very happy about using that handmade massage chair to obtain this information.

Although adventurers could get information about it, were E-Ranks right now and wouldnt know until we became C-Ranks. Besides, getting information on a dungeon master is definitely welcome.

Then again, I did say its on the other side of the mountain, so you probably wont meet them for a while.

Haku-san, I cant take that as anything but a flag!

*

In the end, Haku-san firmly hugged Rokuko, reluctant to leave her.

We were able to obtain a lot of various things. Both funds and information.

Ive thought this before, but Haku-san is like a bonus character huh Ive come to view her as a god of fortune. Should I pray to her?
