Hisshou Dungeon Unei Houhou

Sweetness is not really sweetness

Side: Yuki

"Oh, you surprisingly let me see you honestly."

Surprisingly, the goddess is called Senal.

He broke into a duel between the Zurable Empire and the Hyne Empire, aiming to expand his forces.

Well, we were prepared to crush it, but we came here to persuade those who rebelled against Luna's policy in the future.

Weed can't afford to help someone worthless.

If Senal is left unattended, instead of getting information, the gods Senal was protecting could become enemies.

That's why I asked her for help.

"Well, if you disappoint your allies, you can't help me, right?

"Sure... but I was the enemy? It's true that I killed your people."

Certainly Senal is not lying.

She killed the dungeon master for her own ends.

But I know.

It's not easy in the world to just kill your enemies.

There are things you see when you side with your enemies.

Historically, killing enemies has caused more problems.

"I don't want to. It's not uncommon to side with enemies."

Yes, my daughters used to be enemies.

That's what I've done so many times.

Well, we haven't killed anyone close to her.

I don't hate her in that sense.

War is nothing but a mudslide without such a split.

"... so sweet. You're going to put me to sleep."

That's the sweet one though.

Huh?

Yes, this is not sweet. We don't choose the easy way.

Prepare to be betrayed, but still take the enemy's hand and move forward for the future.

If you change your mind, you can move forward with the help of your enemies.

Is that sweet? No, it's not.

"Senal, you're sweet to keep your enemies alive."

"Yes, that's right. It's sweet anyway. If you don't, you'll be betrayed and turned to sleep, just like I said."

"Is it easy to accomplish your goal while struggling to side with your enemies?

"No, it's hard to decide. That's why it's sweet. I don't know why I'm risking my life for what I have to accomplish."

"I see. I understand the opinion. But at the same time, it is sweet. I don't want to do anything difficult."

The sweet one is just running away.

An excuse not to impose.

"... that's certainly how I see it. But that would put yourself in danger. Isn't that a betrayal for those who believe in themselves?

"What is it? So Senal killed all the hostiles? Even the idiots of the Haine Empire were enemies to the monsters they summoned with the Dungeon Core?

"That's what you can use... That's what it is. That means I can use it."

"That's what it is. Well, you have advantages too. To be able to help my people. And from now on, we will be able to persuade the same gods in need to help us."

Yes, sweetness is just helping without thinking about the future.

So they are worried about why they are being helped and how long the status quo will last, and they try to take action on their own behalf. One of the actions is betrayal.

In my case, give-and-take.

Help me on condition that you cooperate. Seeking something in return convinces the other person that they understand their value, so they won't betray it until it's gone.

"... as long as you're alive."

"If you kill me, you won't be able to do it. I just thought he wasn't the kind of person who cared about losing."

"... I can't betray you for my people. Very well. If you find that valuable to me, I will cooperate with you."

"I helped you badly and with good intentions, wouldn't it be better than finishing here?

"That's true. You're more trustworthy."

I mean, I've told you the same story before.

"I'm sorry. This kind of thing makes me want to check. But you're honest. Or are you stupid? I can't believe you're dating me over and over again."

"By answering this, you gain trust. Ignoring this undermines trust. It's like that in the world."

Well, that would be natural.

I'm still a good person. Some people usually run away, others commit suicide.

Senal is someone to talk to.

That's why I have to meet with the gods who helped me, but I have a different purpose.

"Right here."

Weed's only hospital in front of me.

The general hospital is in flux.

"What are you doing here?

"It's a facility that specializes in medical and therapeutic care. It's a church clinic."

"Hah!? This big facility specializes in treatment!? Not the cathedral of the church?

"That's right. Dear Senal, we treat injured and sick people 24 hours a day."

Lulua, who heads this hospital on my behalf, will answer.

Well, I'd rather leave it to the experts than explain it to them badly.

"When are you going to rest?"

"It's an eight-hour shift. I can't treat you satisfactorily unless you rest properly. And I'll explain that later. Let's start by visiting your friends."

"... that's right. This hospital? Let's listen carefully to the explanation later."

"Do you care?

"That's true. I've been working hard as a healing goddess."

Really? Then I'll show you around. And this is their ward. "

Surprisingly, Lulua seems to go well with Senal.

The Lithuanian goddess Lulua believes in...

"... Lulua-chan is defective. Hi Renn-chan, what's up? I'll kill Senal!"

"Well, I don't think it's a defect. Why are you so motivated...?"

For some reason, Hyren is holding me down.

What don't you like so much?

Because you defied Luna, the superior god? If you say so, I feel more disobedient.

Nevertheless, seriously, you'd be beaten up like you were at Fide, and you're not surprisingly angry?

Well, let's go to the hospital.

I looked away from the stupid goddess and went into the room after Lulua and there was Senal holding her mouth by the bed and weeping.

"Great.... I didn't think it would really help."

"But they haven't woken up yet. There should be no physical problems, do you know anything about it?

Yes, for some reason, the gods of the children who helped do not wake up asleep.

The reason I brought Senal here is to show her the symptoms.

Maybe he knows why.

"Oh, that's okay. I'm just sleeping with magic."

"Magic?

"Yes, they had no one to believe in. Well, I'm not saying zero. A little rumor in a small village. Such faith was forgotten over time. That's why I was the first to be affected by the depletion phenomenon."

"So you let him sleep to hold down the wear and tear?

"That's right. Because there is little wear and tear when sleeping. Maintaining it minimized magic consumption and avoided extinction. But that was the limit. The magic we can recover from the dungeon has stopped us from catching up. I should have listened to all the dungeons. Looking at me and running away means there was a place like that."

I see. What Steve and the others secured was the escape point for the destroyed Dungeon Master.

"Well, I'll hear about the dungeon master later. What about these kids? Are you going to unwitch me? Or do you want me to put him to sleep?

"That's right... My body is more stable, and I don't think it's a problem to wake up. Nevertheless, it's been a long time since then, and I wonder what to explain."

"I guess I'll just have to explain it normally. We have time and we can talk slowly."

"Oh, what are we gonna do about it?

"I'm having a hard time cleaning up your noise. What about the Seraphina Church? Or rather, that's the top priority for now."

"Ah... that's right."

Senal is turning his face to my words.

Yes, Senal somehow named the church after Serafina, not her real name.

Thanks to this, the Seraphina Church is now under suspicion from the Zurable Empire and the Haine Empire.

Moreover, the size of the Serafina Church is quite large in the west, and it is not strange that rebellions occur everywhere if they try to punish the Archbishop badly.

"The original plan was for me to defeat Haine and Zurable and follow the nations through the church."

"Be prepared."

"But I can't help it because I can't save these kids. I won't regret that decision. I still don't think it's wrong."

"Don't blame me. You've failed. But it is also true that it is not good as it is. If you cover it up like this, your suspicions won't go away."

"That's true. What's going on? After all, you're offering me as your mastermind?

"Do you want to do that? I don't know why you're helping me."

It's impossible to give Senal as the rebel mastermind.

Nevertheless, it is a fact that we interrupted and damaged in the duel.

"Well, I can't tell you that the Seraphina Church is irrelevant even if I stick out the sentinel... I have no choice but to use my back hand."

Deep hand?

"Let's say he's dead. Anyway, Hans instructed the fool's successor to fly his neck. If all the people involved were dead, no one would know."

"That's not how it works? It would be hateful to the country."

"Taking Senal's neck means that the Church of Serafina moved. It's too big for an individual to wake up. If that happens, as I mentioned earlier, there will be rebellions around the Seraphina Church. Nobody wants that."

"So you think you'll miss me?

"That's the world. I mean, you'd resist killing me, wouldn't you?

"Of course not."

There's nothing I can't do, but as I said before, I won't do it because there's no point in helping.

I use it and take it back.

"Well, it's decided by a dead operation. I hope they're still talking about Lulua and the treatment until they wake up."

"Yes, sir."

"Yeah, that sounds fun, so I'll let you do it."

So I left the room worrying about how I told the Eupias.
