Dungeons for the Devil, Dungeons for the Core (Book Version Title: A Different World Dungeon Made with the Devil)

The streets from the Wang capital Vinstadt to Shrek are sealed off by the army in front of Shrek. It was officially described as preventing reckless wild horses from approaching the dungeon and, at the same time, against monsters emerging from the dungeon, but also to prevent (and prevent) residents trying to escape from the Shrek from overflowing. And more recently, the number of soldiers stationed was increasing, on the grounds that they were to prepare for the Morvanian army that had been placed across the border.

One day after noon, in front of that Shrek blockade line, a stranger appeared.

"Heh... a member of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Illustria?

"Why did your entourage come here again?

"No, it seems my husband told me to inspect Shrek from up there, and I was driven out to do a bottom check for it. Find out the state of the road, the availability of accommodation, the distance from the key dungeons, if there's any danger."

"Well... sympathy, but we can't move on, can we?

"Well, I guess nobody"

"No... I'm not making a big deal out of it, but the residents stay put"

"Heh, well, you're not as dangerous as they say... oh, it's late, but this is a souvenir replacement. Drink it in your spare time."

What the man claiming to be accompanying him took out was a vial of liquor bought in Vinstadt.

"Oh, okay? I'm sorry."

"Sneak a drink, will you? It's an international problem if you suck."

"I know. So, what do you want to hear?

The guards, who are completely in a good mood, talk about various things while being questioned by the man accompanying them. From what I actually saw and heard to what was rumored.

"Heh... so you actually saw that dragon?

"Oh. I've never seen a dragon before in my life. He looked just like I told him. When he came out of the entrance to the dungeon, I thought he screamed freezing down to the bone marrow, and he threw up his braces. Besides, spreading your wings, it was a sign that you were about to fly over here, and then it was a total collapse."

"But you didn't actually fly in?

"Oh, I've looked back so many times. That's for sure."

"So, you haven't come out of the dungeon since?

"Oh. Sometimes the people inside come to me to plead, but even with their stories, you've been calm so far."

In the meantime, the man accompanying the guard had overheard what was necessary until the head of security, who was suspicious of the guard's behavior, came to see what was going on. Whether he was talking or spicy, he even behaved like a dried fruit and smoked meat, but the knob was quickly punished with a signal from the soldier who noticed his boss's proximity as soon as possible that he was drinking alcohol - not exactly what he was drinking on duty.

"A member of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Illustria?

The man accompanying the guard repeats the same explanation to the person in charge of security who said the same dialogue as the guard.

"But... Perhaps your permission to come here will be dropped?

"Then it's my husband's call that I just wasted my time. If you have permission, come and play quickly, see and hear what you need to do, and be ready to return again soon. Come on. It must be best if your country doesn't give you permission."

"... In the meantime, I will report to the Commander. Can you wait there, please?

While watching the back of the head of security who left for a small run, the man in charge groaned (crushing).

"Commander, hey... is this facility that big and ready for the dungeon?

"It was two platoons at first."

"There was a sudden increase a while ago and there is still some fuss about building more barracks"

"Heh? Didn't you tell me the dungeon didn't make any difference?

"Nah......"

And here, the guard who knew the face whispered and gestured to stop by. When they all gather their foreheads together, they reveal rumours that they have just purchased.

"I heard there's a Morvanian army sitting on this side of the border."

"Morvania did? For what?

"He says he's careful not to enter our country when a monster overflows from the dungeon, but the real deal would be to be on our guard. Though the first two platoons were there, it would be troublesome if they broke in to match the monster flood, didn't you think?

"So, now we're going to increase the size of our soldiers in case of Morvania..."

When the man in charge was working his way out to purchase rumours, the head of security had reported the situation to the officer who had taken office as commander of the fort - which the precinct was already about to turn into a small fort.

"A member of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Illustria?

He repeated the same dialogue as he had pushed in his sentence, but the commander did not peddle the explanation exactly.

"I would say a bottom up for the Angel visit... but actually the purpose would be to examine the force here. I'm guessing it was leaked that I reinforced my troops in preparation for the Morvania incident, and I gave my orders to the angel who was in the king's capital."

Such an interpretation could have been possible once only following the chronological order, but not in practice. What Illustria wanted to know was whether Shrek's dungeon and the monster that appeared there, more precisely, were involved in this.

"So... it's awkward (first) to hold him inside the fort, huh?

"Oh, you can't be informed about the structure and power of the fort. Don't get your hands on me, okay? Unofficially, it's an escort sent by an angel from another country. It can be a hassle."

"Do you want to leave me alone like this?

"You've already heard what the soldiers can tell you. I don't need to tell you any more about this."

"Is it time for Corey to bring food and supplies?

"Oh... did you have that... I have no choice but to look inside the fort."

"So leave it like this?

"No, that won't have any art either. Carry a chair and table in front of the barracks. The garrison is standing at the moment, so tell them to give us a break here."
