Lazy Dungeon Master

"Oh, you're not surprised."

"You said you got a report from the Knights, or something. You're not gonna hide it, are you?

"Well, you don't."

Hehe, and Haku smiles happily.

"So, why were you tailoring 'Just a Cave' to a dungeon that remained weak?

"Because it's cuter... there's something about it, to protect you, 695. So I was really in a hurry to hear that the bandits were living there."

"... to protect Locco, is it?... Why?

"'Cause she's a pretty little sister, huh? The truth is, I want to put a gatekeeper on you and keep an eye on you so no one breaks in, but if you get to that point, you're going to be hunted the other way by God's foremen, aren't you? That's why I had my shadow thoroughly diluted.... How's it going? Are you satisfied with this answer?

I was asked if I was satisfied.

……… and, if you ask me, there are still things that are caught.

"... why hunt other dungeon cores?

In order for the Knights to do it with the Holy Knight, they needed experience breaking the dungeon core.

I mean, Mr. Haku is intentionally making you do that.

He's attacking other cores beside protecting Rokuko. In other words, it was the bandit crusade that threatened to destroy the dungeon core.

"That doesn't matter to you, 695.... or I will be hunted by God's foremen."

For your own good. It was a very easy reason to understand.

"Convinced."

"Yes. Is there anything else I'd like to ask you? Because of this, I'll give you an answer, okay?

"... that's generous. What's the reason?

"Yeah, well, this is a reward. I heard it from 695, but it's a reward for killing all the bandits who were kicking 695's core without leaving one, without letting them get away. If one of us missed it, we'd have to hunt mountains."

Hmm, I see. Then I guess I'll ask you about Dashi and the Holy Knight or something.

Speaking of which, one of the knights who came here was trying to destroy the core.

"Yes! Seventeen knights, depending on what they were doing around the corner. So they tried to stick their swords out on you 695, or something in the report, can you believe it?! Damn, you don't know how adorable your core is at 695. That's why Ningen can't, naturally, execute them, all of them! You can't write about 695-chan on a guilty plea, so I lightly made up a national treason on a Knightly basis. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no So it's a legitimate execution. Oh, isn't it about time we triumphed over the Empire without knowing by now?

Oh, this guy's a bad guy. And I can't bear the end of the minute I have too much power to waste.

Execution of all the Knights. Too much terror politics!

"Oh, do you think it's too much?

"No, not at all. Oh, they were doing the right thing if there was a bandit outside, the adventurer would do something about it. Was it in the report?

"Hmm, incriminating."

But I took a ride for now. I'd be in danger if I defied you badly.

... I see, I understand a little. Sure, this guy won't be Rocco's enemy.

Anyway, the cornerstone of action is Rokuko. At least you won't be Rokuko's enemy unless you harm Mr. Haku.

"By the way, he said something about the Holy Knight."

"The Holy Knight? Oh, you're just appropriately titled. There's no point in destroying a core or being an advance soldier of God. They've contributed to the circulation of mana and so on, and they're going to benefit more..."

Oh, it sounds like me, that foreman... let's shut up.

Forgive me because I'm unwilling to destroy the dungeon core or something.

"Yeah. It doesn't look like I'm just incompetent sleeping, and I'll admit I'm your master at 695 for once"

Looks like they admitted something.... if you're not the enemy, okay? These people have beautiful feet.

There's no such thing as a bad guy for someone with beautiful legs... No, sorry, there were quite a few villains who wanted to be stepped on.

"But let's have a dungeon battle"

Ha ha, there's a word out there that I don't know. Besides, there are troublesome signs that bind, give me a break.
