… The story about the slum’s dark slave trader is horrible.
Well, I’ll just bust apart the slums then! Free all of the beastkin slaves! I have no intention of doing any of that. I don’t feel like taking responsibility.
If I can do away with all danger I’ll do so, though to start with I don’t think I can do that. Hero, I beg you, be an unparalleled soft-heart.
Meat was doing her best to liberate herself from Ichika’s chest. She was starting to suffocate.
“Oops! Sorry, Meat-senpai. Ya alright?”
“Y-yesh…”
She seems a bit dizzy, but it looks like she’s fine.
“Ah, Kehma. Our conversation wandered a bit, but please give me more details on that [Setting] thing from a bit ago.”
“Hmm? I was just saying I’d put Rokuko in charge of the slaves to deal with adventurers. I would…”
I decided to talk about the inn’s program.
Though the reason I wanted to build an inn in the first place was to secure a place to sleep, the Ordinary Cave suddenly turned into a better dungeon than the average one. What now?
Answer: Something that isn’t suspicious.
That being the case, I decided to explain it to them in order to get us on the same page.
First of all, the matter of Haku-san actually being a cooperator.
“The owner of this inn is Rokuko-san, the younger sister of the A-Rank adventurer, Haku-san. It was made so quickly because we had the help of Haku-san’s adventurer acquaintances. So far so good?”
“Certainly, if Haku Ane-sama’s acquaintances helped out an inn could be built in a day. Like it was brought from somewhere. Though it was actually Kehma.”
“Right. Well, even though me building it is a secret, it’s a hassle.”
I got her agreement. Haku-san gave me the conditions for the situation of Rokuko being the [A-Rank Adventurer Haku]’s [Younger Sister].
I had to pledge that Rokuko wouldn’t be against her social position. Though there may be people who would attack Rokuko due to a grudge against Haku-san, this is a dungeon. We could just retreat to to the master room if it gets dangerous. We could even be there however long we need.
“And since I just happened to be nearby and ran into Haku-san, I decided to lend Rokuko, who was Haku-san’s younger sister, some slaves to work for her. Then, I became a good-for-nothing adventurer that just sleeps all day after renting out one of the inn’s rooms. That’s the [Setting].”
“Kehma just wants to sleep… that [Setting] is really just…”
“What’re you talking about Rokuko, in reality I would be the dungeon master.”
“Ah, that’s right!”
Well, I didn’t lie since I didn’t say that I won’t be the dungeon master!
Besides, slaves work to comfort their owner. In a sense it’s how it should be.
Though it looks like things such as inn repair and dungeon administering are things that only I can do…
“Hmm? If that’s how the [Setting] will be, how’s Kehma gonna do anythin’?”
“I made the room to be easy to sneak in and out of. Could I do my work as a dungeon master in front of other people?”
“That’s true…”
Well, there might be some various other things that stand out.
However, they’ll just let small inconsistencies slide with [Well, it’s because he’s an A-Rank adventurer]!
“It’s perfect!”
“Right? I can sleep soundly then~”
“Hey… Goshujin-sama and Rokuko-sama, the A-rank adventurer… do you really know Haku, the [White-Winged Goddess]?”
“That? Yeah, there’s no problem since we’ve gotten permission from her. She said we could use her name as much as we liked if it’s for Rokuko.”
“S-seriously? If so… well, un, there’s a tsukkomi to toss in there but it’s ‘kay. The [White-Winged Goddess] is an A-Rank that’s friends with the higher ups in the imperial capital. Her partner, the [Black-Winged Devil] Chloe, and the other four of her party members, the [Four Kings], make up the S-Rank party known as the [Dungeon Busters] when they are all present. They have so much power that ya have no choice but to accept it no matter what.”
