134 Time of delight




 Ten days after Lina reached level 50, I expanded northward to Hakui.

 Hakui - the Dwarf Demon King's domain and adjacent areas of control.

 According to the Internet and maple intelligence, the target's status is Refinement B, Creation B. The number of areas under his control is 13, and the hazard rating set by the human race is A. There were no sightings of the demon king, and the hierarchy of the control area - the level of the demon king is unknown.

''There's no sightings of the Demon King, but a Hazard Rank of A... are the demons protecting him strong?''
It is said that the hazard rank is A because the demons that appear are extremely tough and difficult to free. However..........
But?

 I'm going to have to tell you the story.

The quality of the items that appear on the scene are extremely high, so if you are able to steal them, you will get rich, which is why it seems to be a popular hunting spot among humans.
"You are the most annoying demon king in the world...
'Is that what you would say, Mr. Theon........'

 I let out a sigh, and Kanon turns his zit eyes on me.

'Were the demons appearing to be dwarves and golems?'
"Yes, sir. A dwarf and a hide wharf, to be precise. It's a rock golem and an iron golem. Dwarves can evolve into many different species, so there are also dwarf fighters, dwarf archers and dwarf knights.
What's the point of a dwarf and a golem? And then there's the dark elves and kobolds of any race?
According to Laplace, the Dwarven Demon King consumes an impossible amount of CP to create a Dark Elf, so there may be very few Dark Elves.
So that means he's a meat-and-blood combatant only.
I'm good with a bow. I've got my distance covered.

 I crammed basic information about the enemy into my head as I conversed with Kanon.

 --Yataro, is it possible to come to my room?

 When I telepathically address my business to Yataro, a simple text message arrives on my smartphone, 'I'm on my way.

"Did I keep you waiting?

 After a ten minute wait, Yataro appears in my room.

'Sarah, Cain, Takaharu can I borrow Izayoi or Saburo for the rest?'

 I'll name the names of my family members who will be the key to our current defense. This time, I want to set up a short battle. I've been planning to lead my own unit in addition to Lina and Chloe's unit to invade.

It's not a problem," said Sarah, Cain and Takahara, "but they are a borrowed force. That's not a problem. When it comes to Izayoi or Saburo, there's a possibility that I'll have to call them back if an emergency arises.
I'll take that as a bonus. And as an added bonus...
《Random Number Creation》?

 Yataro's eyes shine like a boy's, not hearing my words until the end.

''Well.............................''

 I nodded with a wry smile. I'm planning to go out for an invasion now too. Since I can't even use CP during the invasion, I suppose I could use 《Random Number Creation》 to reduce it to 0 once.

''Then, let's push it?''

 I take control of my smartphone and prepare for the "Random Number Creation" process. All I have to do is click on the tab labeled "Random Number Creation" and it's done.

Wait! You wait! I still have to ... prepare my soul!

 At my words, Yataro rushes to breathe and meditate.

'Huh......... Very well.  I, too, shall put all my thoughts at Theon's fingertips.
Okay.

 In addition to the "Random Number Creation" once a month, Yataro is allowed to participate in the "Random Number Creation" twice a month as a reward when he has left over CP. This is the fourth time we've had this exchange. I lightly listen to Yataro's words.

''Sion!
Copy that.

 I let Yataro's words flow lightly, but I let out a sigh as I focus all my attention on my fingertips, as Yataro's words are uncanny.

'Let's go?'
...hmmm.

 In the still air, I press my index finger into the screen of my smartphone.

 A glowing pentagram appears on the ground - a small figure emerges from the light.

'Are you my master? Nice to meet you.

 The new created subordinate - a mature-looking, pale, junior high school-aged boy of about 160cm tall, greets me in fluent Japanese.

''Hmm? Do you understand a word I say?
Yeah. I can see that.

 If you can understand Japanese you're a B-ranked agent like Dhampir?

 I operate my smartphone and check the information of the subordinates in front of me that have just been created.

'Name :.
 Race : Setanta
 Rank: C
 Body: C
 Magic power: D
 Special Ability: Spear Technique (C)
 Wind Magic (Elementary)
 Shiden Missile Thrust

 Setanta...? I've never heard of it.

"SSR..... Definitely SSR..........

 Yataro's whole body trembled and he looked ecstatic.

'Canon?'
Yes, yes....

 The canon is also stunned by the presence of the Setanta.

'Do you know of a race called Setanta?'
Setanta...? I'm afraid I don't know...

 The canon covers all the information about all the subordinates that can be created in Creation B. To say that the canon is an unknown race is to say....

Unique people.

 When was the last time I learned to create random numbers? I had run "Random Number Creation" a few times when I had a surplus of CP, so I must have run it at least 30 times.

 When Slime was created, he went crazy. When Kobold was created, he went crazy too. And, most importantly, the Ogre was created three times. Until now, only demons that he had already had under his control were created, so he did 《Random Creation》 without expecting it this time as well.

 So this is the greed sensor........

 I felt deeply moved and stared at Setanta in front of me.

''Yataro.''
....
Yataro!
What--? Ha.....what the hell?

 Yataro comes to his senses at the second call.

"This is Setanta. It's what Yataro calls an SSR. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. Depending on your strength, I'll form an invasion team.
I understand. 

 Thus, before we left, we pulled off an unexpected by-product.

'Yataro? Back on topic, Izayoi or Saburo I don't know which one I can borrow.
You're right. What's this SSR's offensive style like?
'From the stats, it looks like you're good at spears. Also, she can use wind magic.
Hmm..... Then take Sabraw with you.
Copy that. And by the way, why?
I have a duty to take care of the SSR that I have been entrusted with. And if that's the case, it's best that Izayoi, who is also a spearhandler, teaches you how to use it.
That's a reasonable answer.

 I was satisfied with Yataro's reply.

 As Yataro left my room with Setanta, Sarah, Cain, Takaharu, Saburo, and Kaede appeared in my room, as if to replace him.

'You're welcome,'

 I call out to the group.

What do you want?

 Takahar asks me on behalf of the assembled subordinates.

''The members here now, along with me, will take 18 of my subordinates and invade the dominion territory.
Oh..... Free from boring defenses?
'What? And this pervert? I'd like to trade you for Izayoi.
At last my power will be unleashed on the world.
If it's Your Honor, Lord Zion.
Okay. Okay.

 Takahar smiles ferociously at the words I tell him, Sarah casts a disgusted glance at Saburou, Saburou puffs up his nose, and Cain and Kaede obey honestly.

 The words of reply are disjointed, but none of them are worried. The subordinates gathered here were confident in their own strength.

 There are a few members who are worthy of being called troublemakers, but the abilities of the men gathered here are well-documented.

 I have three former Demon Kings and two special subordinates. And with 18 subordinates in tow, we will begin our invasion into the territory controlled by the Dwarf Demon King.
