7 the first battle




 The next day.

 I was in the cave before the throne room.

Okay, let's do it.

 Go to the menu and open the "Dungeons" section.

 I came here to try out the "Dungeons" feature I've been putting off checking. I was supposed to be made a demon king to manage dungeons, but I never used it yet.

 Leffy is still sleeping in the throne room. Give me a futon for yourself! So I took it out, and it seemed to get into the air unexpectedly, and it was sleeping like a bomb, and I wanted to complain about how that could happen.

 The first thing we will use is to expand the dungeon area.
 I was asked to set up a range, and when I selected this cave, I was greeted with the following message

...... oh, wow.

 So this is the magic of dungeons.

 There is no visible change in ...... the air has changed. The previously cool and comfortable space that seemed to be comfortable during the summer months is now somehow filled with a comfortable atmosphere.
 A sudden change is very noticeable.

 If you check the map in the menu, you'll see that this is also a dungeon area. Great, we'll keep adding more and more dungeons.
 To increase the dungeon hierarchy, ...... is a little short on DP. Let's talk about it some other time.

 By the way, about the DP, it was a mess in the morning.

 I'm sure it's because Lephi is now treated as an intruder and not under my control. The last time I looked at it yesterday, it was under 500 DP, and now it's already over 2000 DP. Gobbledy gobbledygook. I wasn't sure what to expect when he said he was going to live here, but this isn't bad, or even quite good. You'll have to keep her company, but as long as she looks like this, I'll just smile at her.

"Let's just summon something.

 To be frank, I don't think I need anything else if I have that High Dragon, but since I'm going to go through the monster catalog in the "Dungeons" section, I'm going to look through it.

 Since it's my first time, I'll just summon the one that costs the least DP.

 Then I tap the name at the bottom of the catalog with all the monster names.

 Suddenly, particles of light begin to gather in front of me and form into a single shape - and then the light clears, and I see a clear blue body with a perfectly round body. It was small, about a size smaller than a small dog.

 --It was a slime.

Oh, ...... this guy is even cuter than I expected!

 I poked and prodded her, and she seemed to understand that I was a summoner, so she flirted with my fingers. It's quite adorable. It's just like a pet dog I had at home.

 Okay, from now on your name is She!

 Title: Demon King's Attendants

 Hmm, weak. That's the best I could do.
 But no matter. She's cute, so forgive her. I'll take her as my pet.

 According to the brain wiki, these guys don't need to feed the dungeon monsters because they feed on the magic of the dungeon.
 That's great, a pet that doesn't need to be cared for. No, well, this is to prevent you from having to prepare food for your monsters as you summon more and more monsters.

 ............... Huh? Hey, wait a minute, I just realized that this guy has a higher luck value than me if you look closely: .......

 ...... Well, well, you know. Think about it the other way around. It's not my low luck. It's just that I seem relatively low because everyone else is high. It's not that I'm lower than the slime, it's just that the slime is higher.
 Yeah.......

 I'm just a little depressed at my own overwhelming lack of luck, when suddenly she crawls over to me and rubs her body against my leg.

"Are you ...... comforting me?

 Bouncing and bouncing to show affirmation.

 What a sweetie! There has never been a more adorable pet.

 ...... Yeah, I guess so. I was wrong. It doesn't matter what your luck is. Because this is how you got to meet Shi.

 Right. I'm not unhappy. It's what happens when you think you're unhappy.

 And if you're always unhappy, when something good happens, your joy is relatively increased. If you think about it, I'm rather luckier (?) than the rest. .



 Thank you, Sy. I'll tell you one thing about the universe.

 Okay! No more verification today! If you're here, you should get to know each other better today!


   * * *


 Then, after playing with his new companion, Shi, for a while, the map suddenly opened on its own, showing a hostile reaction.

"Grrrruru ......

 At the same time, a beastly snarl reaches my ears, coming from the entrance of the cave.

 I immediately looked up and saw a demon in my field of vision, a demon with three heads in one body that looked like a wolf crushed into a devilish shape, and all three heads were threatening me, their faces contorted in a vicious manner.
 The body is large, about the size of a large dog.

 Name: None
 Race: Three-necked dog (Cerberus)
 Class: None
 Level: 32

 Analyze but read the enemy's information.

 This is the ...... demon.

 Maybe this guy is higher than me, but I can't get a status read on him.
 Tension surrounds you as you enter for the first time.

 You'll be able to get a good deal more than just a few hours of sleep. It doesn't have a face, but it looks like it's staring at the three-headed dog somehow.

 The composition is vaguely reminiscent of a Pokemon battle.

 "Oh! I'm counting on you, Shea!

 When you let out a voice like that to Shi, who shows her monstrous bravery, I'll take care of it! And so on and so on and so on.

 ...... Yeah, I don't care if they're better than us . The only thing that stands in our way is to get rid of it!
 It's nice, a story that begins with upset.
 And I didn't raise a lot of pom-poms, I liked to beat the overwhelmingly superior ones with brains and skills.
 Show me how you live!

"Okay, go! Shhh! It's lightning fast!

 It wasn't quite a bolt of lightning, but Shih followed my instructions and boldly went towards the enemy, bouncing with a poyon.

 --But the three-necked dog's paw, which he flicked off in an exasperated manner, knocked him off his feet.

 The blown away she is slammed against the wall of the cave - and stopped moving.

What? Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

 It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of this one. I'm going to run in and deliver a front kick like a yakuza kick to the enemy's torso.

 


"Where's ............?


 Blood and guts splattered on the ground, turning the area red.
 As I basked in it all over my body, my anger faded at the unexpected result, and for a moment I became calm.

 ...... Oh, that's it? Seriously?
 The f*cking dog, which had become a rather gross lump of flesh, seemed to be completely dead and did not move.
 I didn't feel that I had killed a creature, but I was just puzzled.

 What does ...... mean by this?

 It's true that the five senses, which have become more acute since becoming a demon tribe, don't come to tell you that you are in danger like they did with Lephi, but with a level difference of 30, I thought they would be stronger than me. .......

 --It's not like my attacks are going to work! I thought you were going to be steadfast, but I'm not, you just couldn't keep up with the movement, right?
 My status, I didn't know because I didn't have anything to compare it to, but is it actually quite high?

 So I thought and checked my own status again.

 Perhaps due to the fact that you have fought against leveled enemies, the status has increased considerably. Your skills have also increased in body arts.
 As for the luck value, it's unchanged ...... but that's aside for now, this number may be higher than I thought.

 ...... No, but there are still some upstarts out there. There's a super creature living in our house.
 It's a good thing that there are so many of them, but I don't want to join the ranks of the brainy demon tribe that challenged Rephi to a fight and ended up in ashes.
 It's not just because of its high status, but also because of its pride and "foolishness, it's not ......? and then get killed, which is the typical path taken by game villains. It's too good to waste your second life by doing such a stupid thing.

 ---And, d*mn it, this was not the time to think about that.

Shh!

 I turned off the status window and hurriedly went to the bottom of my blown-up beloved pet, fortunately, it seems that HP was not totally lost, and Shi was in the process of regenerating her body little by little, perhaps due to the effects of her skills.

Thank goodness ......

 I let out a breath of relief in front of such a shi.

 I'm sorry for making you reckless. .......
 The first game was a bit of a stretch.
 But she's not worried about me, she's fine! I'm sure you'll be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about. You can't blame her for that.



 She is my pet. Pets aren't meant to be fought. They are to be loved. I'll do the fighting.
 That's right. Cooler heads. That d*mn dog ended up fighting on the edge of his feelings, and that might get him killed.

 That's it! Let's go with the motto "Stay Cool". That's what I need right now.

 Thinking about this, I sat there until she revived her body.
