205-Reopening after a long absence and the market in front of the dungeon (tentative)




 
 The next morning...

 Today, the entire House of Elnor was at my mansion.

''This meal is very good,''

'Tina's food is delicious!

 What's a little different than usual is that Yoko's mother, Kikyou, and the Wind Spirit King, Sylph, are here.

 Kikyou is now a member of the Elnor family, so she'll be eating with us from now on.

 The sylphs followed us to the mansion yesterday when we went to pick up Rifa from Alheim.

 The sylph said he wanted to come to my mansion sometime, and today I had something I wanted to show everyone, so I had asked him to stay at our house with the intention of being one of the spectators.

'Hmm, thank you. Mr. Sylph, would you like a refill?

Yes, I'm here!

 Even though it was morning, Sylph's appetite was huge.



''Are you guys free today?''

Yeah. I don't have any plans. What do you have in mind? Master Hurt.

 I wanted to show everyone the dungeon I prepared yesterday.

I refurbished the ruins dungeon. I wanted to do a little show-and-tell.

Is it done already? That's Hurt!

 He had explained to Chalk, the previous master of the ruins dungeon, that he would be renovating the dungeon beforehand.

''Yeah. I've adjusted the difficulty to make it a little more complicated, so that ordinary adventurers can challenge it.''

 Originally, the dungeon of the ruins was built to train the brave, and the overall structure was simple so that the brave could level as they wished.

 It was changed to a maze like other dungeons, with more levels.

 Also, we've set up artificial monsters and treasure chests.

What do you want to unveil?

'I'm thinking of having some of you try a dungeon that I've tweaked. Merdi is one of those candidates, could you help me out?

'Sounds interesting! I'm going to conquer Halt's dungeon!

Who are the other candidates?

'Actually, I'm calling two people who aren't from the Elnor family. Ideally, we'd like to have one more person to heal since we're trying out with a party of four, but...

Would you like me to play the part?
Or me!

 Two of the two who have one of the highest powers in this world as recovering personnel - Luca, the dragon priestess, and Seira, the saintly woman, came forward.

''It can be me too!''
I can heal just fine, mistress.

 It seems that Sylph and Kikyou can also work as recoverers.

 But I had already decided who to leave in charge.

Can I ask Seira to do it this time?

I understand!

 Thus, the members who will challenge my dungeon for the first time have been chosen.


 ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

 I took everyone with me and transitioned to Bestieth.

 Two familiar faces were waiting for me at the gate to enter Bestieth King's Landing.

''It's been a long time, Master Harto.
We've been expecting you.

 Sally, the cat beastman, and Lilia, the dog beastman.

 Sally and I fought in a warrior competition in this country in the past, and I recognized her strength, so I asked her to join us when she creates a clan someday.

 Lilia is a friend of Sally's and works at the checkpoint in the capital.

 Both of them were dressed for battle.

 I'm going to have these two beastmen with my family as support members to help them conquer my dungeon.

 Through the magic stone I had given to Sally yesterday, I asked her if she would be willing to challenge my dungeon.

 Lilia was also there, so I asked her if she and Sally could join me.

 The girls were surprised to hear from me, but they immediately agreed to the dungeon challenge.

''Nice to see you both today,''

Yes!
I'll do my best!

 I then introduce Kikiou and Seira, who have never met Sally and the others, and reiterate my purpose to everyone.


 I'm the owner of Bestiae (Beastman's Kingdom).

 Bestieth is my country.

 It's my country and I want to protect its inhabitants from threats such as demons and demons.

 However, I can't reside in Bestiary.

 If a crisis arises, I can come to Bestieth immediately by transference, but there will be times when I won't be able to make it in time.

 The beastman race is a strong race in this world, but even so, the only beastman who can defeat a demon individually is Leo, the beastman king who lifted the ban on the use of magic.

 That's why I wanted to increase the number of beastmen who could fight the demons.

 However, it's quite difficult to raise humans to a level where they can fight the monsters.

 If you normally defeat the monsters that occur in the forest, you will never be able to become strong enough to reach Leo's level.

 If you don't have any special skills, you'll need to level them up pretty efficiently.

 That's where I thought I could make use of the ruins dungeon prepared for the training of heroes.

 I transformed the ruins dungeon into a dungeon to strengthen my friends.


 General adventurers will be able to see the first layer to the tenth layer and conquer that one.

 I added 10 to 20 layers to the dungeon that originally had only 10 layers underground.

 These additional layers will be the training floors for my friends.

 I've set it up so that if they complete the program I've built in, they'll be at a level where they can defeat the demons by the time they step through the dungeon.


''Well then, let's get going!

 My wives and I took Sally and Lilia to the dungeon in the ruins.


 ...

What?
Huh? Why do you think...

 All of my family wives who were there, including Tina, froze.

  We moved to the transference magic circle that I had set up in front of the dungeon of the ruins, and everyone was amazed at the things I had prepared there.

''Isn't it pretty amazing? I worked pretty hard to get it all together!

 I was building up a weapon shop, armor shop, tool shop, eatery, and inn in front of the dungeon's entrance.

 I built them at a rapid pace, so the buildings are just walls and roofs.

 The selection of goods is still lacking, but it's something of a formality.

 Eventually, I'd like to invite merchants to join us and make it a pre-dungeon marketplace.

 In order to attract adventurers to dungeons, the content of the dungeon is important, but the environment that supports them is even more important.

 I've learned that from my original world's ramblings, and I've tried to make it happen.

'I'd like to build a small town here one of these days. It's a town to support adventurers who challenge the dungeon. It's not ready yet, but...

Oh, my Lord...

Hmm? Joko, what's wrong?

'I know that there will be a town near the entrance to the dungeon. I know that the Lord is copying it. But...

 Yoko walked up to the clerk of a nearby tool shop.

''Why is the clerk all the way down?

 Yoko pulled on the clothes of the clerk of the weapon shop and pulled him out of the shop.


 He was able to see my appearance.
