Reis Consultation

Finishing the naming ceremony, I thought of something.

Dont things like loyalty not matter since I had absolute order rights?

No, even if I have them, they should surely be overflowing with willingness even while working like this. Maybe. Definitely.

But that armor really was a pain to put on and take off. Full plate isnt something you should wear.

Now now, how about lets peek at how the dungeons doing today?

By the way, its our dungeon but no ones dead in it its not like its peaceful, in fact it seems like some number of E-Rank adventurers died in the dungeon. Rookies that arent careful enough would easily get caught by the traps.

Even so, since its not at the level yet where people would die even if theyre being careful, this dungeon[Cave of Desires]has taken on the significance of being a perfect rite of passage for rookies. Its a dungeon for beginners.

Well, theres even a magic sword test room to show it off established in the labyrinth area.

I built three more rooms since it was so popular, but nowadays theres talk about there definitely being magic swords in the dungeon. It seems theres even an adventurer that heard that and is locked up in the dungeon right now.

Seems like the guy didnt hear about there being a well-known [Greed Trap] here from the guild. Maybe I should just leave him alone? Though Im thinking about that, its probably better to save him from the brink of death and demand payment from him.

But I dont think I can expect any returns from idiots that cant even gather information from the guild about the dungeon, they even say, You can leave if you return the magic sword to the pedestal

Oh he just said, Im a rich familys third son, Drasan! I cant die in a place like this! An aristocrat huh. It looks like thered be a return, but saving him seems tiresome. Ill pass.

Its his own responsibility since its a dungeon. Lets ignore him if a rescue commission doesnt come from the guild.

Since his comrades that looked like followers were getting irritated, there are ways for them to die other than starvation.

Things can happen in a dungeon. Theres nothing strange about it even if people die. There wouldnt even be a body left since the dungeon eats it. Not being saved from an instant death trap, eaten by a monster after letting your guard down, there are nearly infinite explanations for it.

Furthermore there arent even any witnesses outside of those in the room, and everyones armed. Yup, I look forward to the DP Ill be getting.

The customer is always right. They are our gods. Amen.

Ah, but theres another adventurer besides me exploring the labyrinth area right now, maybe theres a story there?

How about I secretly make him unable to come to this test room?

Fufufu, theyre saying stuff like, Rescue is definitely coming soon. It might take a while you know? Setting the aristocrat aside, his followers DP are delicious.

While I was observed such a pleasant situation in the dungeon, Rei came over with a serious expression on. It seemed she wanted to discuss something with me.

I-I want to be useful for the dungeon! Ill do anything, please give me some work!

Seriously? When did she turn into such a corporate sheep? No, its a dungeon, so maybe itd be a dungeon sheep? When did she become such a dungeon sheep? Its definitely because of the naming ceremony!

Well, honestly youre helping me enough just by working as the inns receptionist

I also want to do things that benefit the dungeon like Kinue and Nerune for master!

Well, youre helpful enough just being a receptionist you know?

Master doesnt have to sugarcoat it. Theres no mistake that Im a defective vampire. Its to the point that I even make mistakes counting coins

Oi, dont make mistakes there. Maybe I should automate that too Like a register wait, come to think of it I already made something that works like that in the slot machine, I could just make something similar

But work for Rei huh? Rather, I cant think of something for a vampire that has no offensive power or special abilities. I just made her on my own, but I havent thought about any other time of work for her at all other than as an inn employee Wonder if theres any good ideas?

When I looked down a little to avert my eyes aware from Reis serious gaze, I saw the dungeon map being displayed.

Come to think of it, your own offensive power has nothing to do with you ability to move the dungeons monsters around.

Ive been ordering them around remotely by using a golem, but Rei could do that too right?

Or rather, Rei cant open the menu huh?

Well, I think its fine to give her the authority for the menu, but shes a dungeon monster. I dont think its normal to entrust the dungeon to subordinates

So I cant do anything to help master after all

Ah, sorry, sorry. I was just thinking about something.

I looked through the menu Oh, there it is.

Lets see, grant authority. Possible targets are [Gobsuke], [Feni], [Rei], [Kinue], and [Nerune] wait, whys Gobsuke there!? The others are white, just Gobsukes displayed as grey!

Maybe I cant delete named entries? Uwaaah. Maybe I should stop naming so casually. I dont like things being so mixed up like that.

I dont see Meat and Ichika, so I guess a connection with the dungeon is needed after all?

Right, lets hang out and try a bit of an experiment. [1]

Y-yes! Since Im a vampire, I am somewhat stronger than humans, so there is no problem at all even if you do it violently!

I got her agreement, so for now lets authorize Rei in the menu as a partner.

In addition, it looks like theres even options to fine tune its range. The dungeon and inn are specified in the range, and restrict DP usage? Eh, wait, what? Hold up, its saying that I dont need to personally handle the food? [2]

Uwaah, I should have looked into this a bit more seriously. Well, there may have been a requirement of having five or more named monsters or something.

Okay, permission for this, permission for that. Quantity of items and amount of DP that can be used is limited, permission given!

Managing the menu is for the management. They were originally management candidates after all if it goes well with Rei, lets give some permissions to Kinue and Nerune later.

Alright, lets see if you can take it out.

Fueh!? T-take what out m-milk!? Breast milk!?

Wait. The menu, menuuu.

The heck is she talking about breast milk for?

S-sorry. Master was looking at my chest so

Now that she mentions it, the menu is invisible huh. Crap, Im not a pervert.

Hm? Looking at it another way couldnt I look at legs if I just say Im looking at the menu? Ah, no, in the end wouldnt I just be a person whose only goal is to look at legs? Lets stop there.

Menu, come out! I see, I was authorized as a partner so I can see it, and can make it invisible so you were looking at the menu while it was invisible!

Thats right.

In the end it looked like she could make the menu appear. With this I should be able to entrust her with moving the monsters and monitoring the dungeon. Shes originally a race thats good at combat, so shell definitely do well.

Like this, lets have you help out the dungeon.

Continuing the experiment, I confirmed that I could take away and return her authority.

She looked incredibly happy that she can help, but there was a possibility that I couldnt have given it back after taking away the authority again its alright. I wouldnt have abandoned her even if I couldnt grant the authority back to her.

Footnotes:

Doesnt translate well as the verb used is very very all-purpose, but he says something that can be taken as Lets keep each other company in a sexual meaning.

The word for [Range] here is also implying other things, such as things they could do. Like use deployment for example.
