Lazy Dungeon Master

That is why the negotiations were broken down with a single voice from Itetz.

"Well, then, shouldn't I have this knight statue?

"No! I don't know, fellow backcutters, they're enemies!

"Enemy! Long time no see! What does that mean? Say it in Dragon."

"'Enemy'!

"" Enemy "? My arms squeal!!

Hey, is that what the Dragon word "enemy" means? That's the most powerful creature, you're looking down on it.

"That's why I can't take the negotiation of the realm! But you want a knight statue?! Do something about it. 112!

"Ahhh... hey Kamaah, can we do something about it?

You're the one who says he's the enemy, you're the one who listens to me like a jerk. Oi.

Is this an alley, or is the master's absolute command activated? With "hurry up" or "do something about it".

"Oh, come on, Itetsu. Aren't I the enemy?

"Don't talk lonely. It's a dungeon core. I like you."

That's more than anything. I like you, too. Just talk to me!

"You can take Crystal's Knight statue with you. It can't be free."

"Really! I knew you were a good one. So, what do we do? We can't do the realm."

"Yeah. It's a simple story. I'll sign up for a dungeon battle, so take it. If this one loses, I'll give you fifty gold coins and an extra silver coin, or one crystal knight statue. Instead, if Koch wins, I get the realm. This isn't a negotiation because it's the result of a battle, okay?

"Ho... well that's good. But that's too advantageous for us...?

"So I would like to propose two anomaly rules"

The anomaly rule. It's the setting of the winning conditions, as Haku was doing in the previous dungeon battle, to target the dummy core, not the dungeon core.

"First of all, don't attack over there and be thorough defense. If you can protect it for a certain amount of time, you win... right, how about a day?

"Ho, fight the defense, he is. But our dungeons are pretty deep, and you can't attack first in a day."

It's definitely a 500-year-old dungeon, not one that I've found out how many layers there are.

"That's another rule there.... There are five tiers of our dungeons now. So what do you say we win if we get to 'parity' down below five levels?

"Oh, that would be reciprocal. Isn't that nice? Give me the cave area."

Also, not at all reciprocal.

If you have half a day, you can invade while being attacked in a five-tier dungeon battle. That's one day, and we can focus only on the invasion.

Furthermore, we have been preparing for the invasion for some time. Completely advantageous.

"Finally, you do. If I could even touch the lower dungeon core... give me half Mount Zia"

When I get to that point on track, even Itetsu, the choromander, opens his eyes to the boulder.

"Huh?! Wouldn't that fit the boulder?!

"What the hell, you can't get to the bottom level in a day, can you?

"Oh, wow! That was it. It was a day...... hey Ledra, what do you do?

"Isn't that okay?! You can get a statue just to take it, right?! All you have to do is process" The Enemy to Ravage "and you'll get more gold and silver coins, it's full of good things!

You're not thinking about losing this for sure.

"If you lose, you'll only get the realm without gold coins, right?

"If the terms are equal, there's no way Atai's going to lose!

"So this is a good condition, right?

"Oops! So, when are we gonna do this, right now?!

Honestly, right now, I'm never ready.

but it's just not a good time right now to make sure you win.

"I'll be ready for our dungeon."

"Then a week from now, so"

"Oh, that would be nice. I'm going home for today."

"You can have this statue, right?! Huh?!

"... please bring it"

I chuckled.

*

"... so you have a chance?

Rokuko asked me that as soon as he got back to the inn.

I answer as I stroke Nik's head running as close as I can to the pillow.

"What are you talking about, Rocco? You've already confirmed your win, haven't you?

"... Huh? Why not?"

Rokuko with a strange neck.

Apparently you didn't realize... it's still sweet, huh?

While I look at the map, I'll explain it to Locco.

"Our minimum victory condition is to reach below the five levels of the Fire Cave."

That's what you said.

"How's Nik, you know?

Ask Nik, who was watching the negotiations on video with Rokuko. I'm not here on reception business, but if the strawberries were watching, I probably know and I'm just nibbling.

Nik answers with a few thoughts.

"............... Um, statue, is it?

"What happened to that statue?"

Hey, Nik's smarter than that. Hang on, dungeon core.

"Because that statue, your husband's golem... right? Then allies......"

"Huh? Aren't you the one who gave it to me?

"I said you could take it, but I don't remember giving it to you"

"But he said he'd give it to me."

"That's if you bought me a gold coin for 500,000 DP. We didn't have to talk about it."

Sounds like a terrible argument, but ownership is more than a gift here.

And yeah, I can see it. It's a golem, so naturally this handkerchief. A gesture.

... Even if you've been treated to a treasure trove, it doesn't change the fact that this gesture went deeper than five levels.

Awfully, I might also be able to touch the dungeon core body.

If we were to lose, that would be if the treasure trove were in a shallow hierarchy before five levels, but it had already been carried a lot deeper.

"You're sure to win."

"... is that okay?

"You can see the position on the map, and you can see the sound and video via the golem. There's nothing wrong with the gesture diving into the deepest part, but is there a problem?

"... really. Wow, terrible."

The warlord said. Fighting means winning or losing before it starts. Exactly.

"But this is only a trump card. If possible, I want to win so that the crystal statue doesn't find out about the golem.... so we can always steal and listen to their conversations, and we can overwhelmingly favour them in the future."

"Kama, you look like you're thinking bad... you're reliable!

But it is only 'if you can'.

If you can't do it normally and win, don't hesitate to use it, and if there's a gap in the dungeon core that you can touch, I want to touch it because the crystal statue can find out with the golem. We're going to use a special golem in the future, and it's time to 'unveil' it. Half of Mount Zia with this trump card would be a good consideration.

Most importantly, if the Crystal Statue Golem is turned into a treasure trove, you won't be able to touch the Dungeon Core directly.

No, it's nothing. You can just win for the tunnel. I just need to stretch the dungeon to the basement of the hem, not the mountain...

"Well, no."

I stopped thinking because I was in trouble. The best is done, and all we have to do is focus on how well we win.
