Chapter 13

nExtra: Dungeon Master Kehma

n(Rokuko’s Point of View)

n

nStrange. How did this happen?

nI just sank 1000 DP into the gachapon, taking a big gamble to turn around this hopeless situation.

nA weak looking human, Kehma, appeared. Of all things, he became the dungeon master and I have to obey him.

nWhat kind of thing is this? I don’t get it.

nI can’t settle down until I slaughter those detestable bandits who kicked my core. It definitely would have been better to use the 1000 DP to summon a ton of goblins than this.

nAah what am I doing already, while he’s asleep I have to be quiet. I couldn’t speak since he ordered me.

nI have a lot of things I want to say!

nThen, when I summoned a goblin using DP, he got angry.

nMoreover, when there was a chance at revenge when only one bandit was left, he didn’t do anything!

nWhy not!? Ane-sama No. 89 said I should summon goblins!

nAne-sama No. 89 is amazing you know!? She’s the dungeon in the imperial capital! Kehma couldn’t even reach her feet!

nThat’s the ton of DP I worked for!

nThen he ordered me to not use DP without his permission.

nAnd yet he used it for himself. If it were just food it would be fine, but he took out a Futon. Gununu… yet he told me…

nI mean, doesn’t that guy sleep too much? I’m a dungeon core so I don’t sleep at all you know?

nI wonder if sleeping so much is okay?

nAfter that, for some reason Kehma used the DP I’d gathered at great pains to give tribute to the bandits.

nMoreover, he had me write something I didn’t mean at all.

nThank you for defeating the goblins. Aaaaah! Come oooooon~~~~!

nThis guy, he just wants to flatter them desperately to survive!

nI thought, when–

n“We’ve gained some time with this for now. Since we’ll massacre them before long, calm down.”

n–he spoke with a serious face.

nMoreover, was it to make his bed safe? I don’t get this guy. I can’t understand him. He even went to sleep again.

nExplain it properly!

nThen, adventurers arrived when that guy was sleeping. However, they were defeated by the bandits.

nThat was the first time. The first time something other than goblins died in the labyrinth.

nPerhaps the bandits are a good thing?

nWell, I won’t let them kick my core!

nThen after explaining it to Kehma, it seemed to be what he planned.

nHe expected this to occur, above all getting more DP.

nThe bandits definitely earned more DP than he spent on them.

nIt wasn’t bad.

nAs I thought that, he used DP on the bandits again. He added more rooms.

nWith one room, unleash the strongest monsters with a bang!

nThough that’s what I believed, he convinced me with his explanation. Just enough goblins to do what’s needed is fine!

nBut he doesn’t let me deploy goblins. I don’t get it.

nIn the end, after using all that DP for the group of bandits, he said it was different from the other gifts since it couldn’t be taken away to the town. Well, it certainly feels like that. Unexpectedly, Kehma has a good head on his shoulders. He’s better at earning DP than me.

nBut he’s a really sleepy guy huh…

nI poked him.

nAh, Gobsuke. I used Cleanup on him. However, Kehma just used Cleanup on himself once to become completely clean.

nNormally, you’d need to douse the water a lot of times, using Cleanup over and over to do that. I wonder how he did it?

nAfter that, the bandits purposely brought corpses back themselves. Killing and bringing back their trophies to the inside of the dungeon, DP increased just like Kehma said.

nThen, the Melon Bread. Kehma took out bread I’d never seen before, called Melon Bread, using DP. It was sweet and so delicious… eating things like this wasn’t bad.

nMelon Bread is amazing. Though Bean Paste Roll is tasty, Melon Bread is the best.

nEh, I have to share with Gobsuke? … I-it’s fine, but I won’t share any of the Melon Bread you know!?

nThough I told him when the adventurers came, he’d actually made a goblin room a few days ago as a backup plan.

nKehma properly took many things into consideration as the dungeon master.

nHe usually slept, making me send various things written in the box, then collecting it… wait, not just that… huh, isn’t he doing quite a lot of things?

nNow that I think about it, didn’t I just throw goblins at adventurers that came…?

nHmm, maybe it would be a good thing to study some more?

n… And then the bandits were finally cleared out.

nThough I thought that I was going to die when the sword was pointed at the dungeon core, I was saved.

nFor me, Gobsuke sacrificed himself…

nRecently, I’d started to understand what Gobsuke wanted to say, but now he isn’t here… I’m a little sad.

nAs for the bandits… they were massacred just like Kehma said. They completely became DP.

n… Kehma is amazing. He really was able to massacre the bandits.

nI definitely don’t think I could have done it with just me and goblins.

n… I wonder if Kehma could have done it by just using goblins?

nIn truth, the bandits were killed with neither monsters nor traps.

nAfter that, he collected the tiny slave into the master room.

nThough I don’t know how, even though she was definitely an intruder, he treated her like an item.

nLearning that slaves could be collected like items when their masters died was a first for me.

nHowever, it was natural that I didn’t know since it was the first time a slave was in the dungeon. I don’t know things I don’t know.

n… I wonder what use he has for the slave? Will it really be a hug pillow?

nNo way, it’s Kehma. I’m sure there’s a decent reason.

nBut still, Meat, huh…. definitely slang. I don’t think it meant anything good either… Well, it’s fine if Kehma says it’s fine. TN: The slave’s name in the raw is ‘Meat’ written in kana instead of kanji–‘Niku’

nWhat next? Even though the dungeon has changed considerably…

nWell, it’s alright. I’ll leave it to the dungeon master.

nIf I leave it to Kehma, even I could get closer to Ane-sama No. 89!

nAh, but I’ll help out a bit, too.
