Lazy Dungeon Master

I decided to talk to Core 564.

I've never seen him humanize before, but I've confirmed to Idee that this guy is 564 Core.

Bafomet Dungeon Core - Core 564. He once fought a dungeon battle with us, and became Micah's support for Core 629 in a system called Dual Core.

"Can I have a word?"

"Hey, what is it!? I won't talk to you!?

"Fine, will you come for a second?

Core 564 was clearly responding to behavioral suspicion when I spoke up.

"Oh Wataru. Do me a favor about Cro for a while. 'Cause I'll be right back."

"Oh, yes. Okay."

"Take care, my lord"

"Oh.... shall we go, Mr. Swordsman?

"Hey, come on! Where I want it!

564 is Micah's position as my subordinate by Mr. Haku. In other words, my position is 564 boss.

So 564 can't disobey my orders. Positively.... Well, I'm hiding my position. If you mean private, you can defy me, but 564 follows my call very closely.

... How can you come here?

"What are you going to do, take me into this unpopular aisle?!? You're not gonna do anything nasty to me!?

"Why does that happen!? Why did you think I'd do something nasty?

"Mm-hmm. 'Cause you're the face that's up to something, aren't you? Would that be nasty when it comes to planning?

"No! I just want to talk to you for a second!

Damn, mystery theory! Is this also a cultural difference? No, is that a 564-specific idea?

"Mm, well. What do you want to ask me, this unnamed swordsman?

"... why are you in this tournament, 564?

Core 564 was clearly upset when he gave his name and asked.

"Oh, 564?! I don't know who you're talking about! I'm so cool and strong, I don't know any Bafomet demons! Oh, I'm, uh, an unnamed swordsman!

"Because he's already found out. That's fine."

"Hey!? Goddamn it, dude, you made it through! This is my perfect disguise!

"Oh, you just admitted it."

"Well, it's useless to scratch someone you're already sure of. So, what can I do for you? I am a fine contestant who has won the qualifying tournament. I don't have the muscle to complain about being here!

Well, I guess so. Instead, they would have complained if they hadn't.

I guess it's a "dungeon core or some other irrelevant general frame" decision around the fact that the Great Demon King would have noticed but missed it.

"Right. Well, I hope the Great Demon King didn't say anything... so I'm asking you why you're in the tournament. You were expelled or something, weren't you?

"Mm, that. No, I don't have a job under that rabbit. I was free."

Apparently, he was free.

... I guess you don't have anything to do, actually. Micah's job is about rabbit cafe, and I can't help but think about Core 564. The raid event is also a good story without Core 564 coming out.

"You were free."

"He was banished from the Demon King faction and confiscated his territory as well. You can't use DP without that rabbit's permission either... you can use it freely. DP even up to 100 DP a day would just disappear if you served food? Then all you can do is train, right? So I decided to go to the neighborhood tournament."

"... well, you were free"

Even though he was banished from the Demon King faction, a place with a dungeon is in the Demon King's realm. The DP-sourced territory has been confiscated, but we have no choice but to make it more adult than it is a core that cannot be so far removed from the dungeon.

At least to breathe, you mean to attend a neighborhood festival...

"Well. As usual, I was at the Demon Nation Games... and I was exiled and broke. I had no choice but to participate from the late Lower Games winner."

He was originally in the upper tournament as a dungeon core, or "Demon Nation". Besides, it's 500, so he's been in the tournament for years. Strong guy. Strong, actually.

Though it was in the dungeon battle that we lost, our strength as individuals is on par with Idee's - well, I guess this is unusually strong for Idee as the 600 - and he's the strength of the Demon King's Row's Normal Class.

Yeah, this is a fine winning candidate. Nevertheless, even the kind of people who go into this battle are mostly the owners of top (Demonic) competitions. If you're caught off guard, it wouldn't be weird losing 564 Core, would it?

"Are you sure you want to use the Demon King Stream? I was broke."

"It's safe because I don't call myself the Demon King Stream! And the way I fought your body, there's no other way to fight it!

Well, if you can't, the Great Demon King will stop you. You decided not to say anything more from me.

"... so that's why I'm here, but why are you here?

"Me? I'm part of the semi-finalist prize for" God's Pyjamas. "

"Wow! Is that such a prize this year? That's unusual... well, I'll win, so I can contend with the semi-finals as I please."

"What, are you an arithmetic that can beat Wataru normally?

"Would it be the Ningen in question? I've seen this game, but I don't think I'm gonna lose to Ningen to the point where he plays a 'good game' with those guys."

Let's not trust this word. I thought you said you couldn't beat a rabbit core like 629 in a dungeon battle with us.

"Well... if you're a semi-finalist and you get 'God's Pyjamas', give it to me"

"Hmm. I'm planning on winning. But, well, if you get it as a semi-finalist, you can dodge it and ask me to do it."

What, is that all you can do? Out of the way, isn't that sweet, 564?

"That's a contract. If I break it, I'll make it look terrible."

"What. Are you insane!? It's the Dogeza, right?

"How cheap it is to just bow your head and not need another consideration"

"Mm, mmm. Well, if that's all right with you..."

In the demonic kingdom, Tutsa (Dogeza) is considered a very humiliating act, but it is not a separate set, nor is it called a slave. I mean, it's just performance for me. Plus, you didn't even tell me I was going to be grounded, so let's get Golem grounded for anything.

"By the way, what kind of prize is a regular year?

"Um, that's a lot of weapons, protective equipment, and magic props. There are also DP devil costumes and items named" Made to order by a blacksmith held by the Great Demon King. "

"I see.... then 'God's Bedding' or something is so rare...?

"Well, sometimes that's a prize when you get something rare. That's what it would be."

I see. It's a mystery if you were lucky, or if you had someone's hand-wound, but if you can still get 'God's Bedding', let me ride you.

So there's a safe discussion between me and 564. I returned to the holding room in a sunny mood. I think I'll be able to get 'God's Pyjamas' safely for this.

... Oh, yeah. If you're free anyway, you might want to lend 564 to Idee in the future as a practice opponent. For a fee.
