Lazy Dungeon Master

ning after resting for the night at Tsuia Mountain’s inn.

Since it was also done cheaply, I also got a promise for them to help hatch the phoenix egg.
It really is good thing to have good relations with your neighbors.
A phoenix hatching from the breath of a red dragon… really is amusing.
She barely used her breath at the end of the dungeon battle after all.
It wasn’t enough to hatch it.
It looks like it should hatch with a bit more though.

So I left it with them.
When I went through the tunnel that went through Tsuia Mountain and came to the other side, I could see the sea.
I could even faintly smell the scent of the tides drifting through the air.
The atmosphere was different, I guess.
There was a tall hill nearby, so I looked down from there.
I saw that there was a port city down there.
I guess that’s Pavuera if I’m not mistaken? Looks like that’s Ichika’s hometown.
… Fish.
I wonder if they have the same kind of experience in this world? Right, let’s make a sashimi special for today’s dinner to celebrate the tunnel’s opening. [1]
Maybe it’d be good for Ichika to also visit her hometown for a bit? I don’t know what would be said since she’s a slave now though.

“Wow… the scenery here’s good~”

Rokuko, who’d appeared next to me at some point, said that as the wind blew through her blonde hair.

“It is… Is this the first time you’ve seen the ocean, Rokuko?”
“Un.
I’ve heard people talk about it before, but… the dungeon core meeting doesn’t care about those kind of things.”

I still don’t really know what the dungeon core meeting is that well, but other than that she’s been staying in that small cave this whole time.
Alone for such a long time… Well, she has us now though.
Maybe I should expand her world some more after this… When the dungeon is a bit more on track, it might be a good idea to take Rokuko to the human village for a little while.

“You got outwitted this time.”
“Gu—… well, yeah, we did… I never thought Ontentoo would use that kind of a plan.”
“You completely underestimated that guy~.
I was surprised too, I thought Kehma would win for sure.”

Even after showing our trump card, we still couldn’t achieve the total victory.
Though we were able to win with the fifth floor rule, it still feels like a defeat for me.

“But, even though we didn’t get half of Tsuia Mountain, this much was plenty.
Kehma can manage one way or another, right?”
“That’s right.
We don’t really need to fuss over the mountain.”

I said it before, but it’s fine if we just extend into the fields and ignore the mountain.
We have the path now.
The path, yeah… let’s think about seriously taking a toll for using the tunnel.
Should I take it depending on how much their stuff weighs when they enter the tunnel?
I’ll make a spring with a golem… that’ll be good for now.

“Our dungeon is even more amazing now with this tunnel right?”
“Yeah, no matter what happens, we’ll have easy income from it after all!”

We’re going to open this tunnel to the public.
Our dungeon has finally obtained source of easy money.
Easy money.
Aaah, that sounds so good.
So far, I’ve built a hotel by using the dungeon’s operations one way or another, then worked at it.
And I had to work by designing the dungeon and it’s monster and item arrangements and things like that.
Meanwhile, I’ll be able to spend time sleeping without having to do anything by using this tunnel as an income source.
I’ll occasionally count the toll fees.

“I don’t really know what ‘ejee monee’ is, but it sounds amazing!”
“Yeah, it’s amazing.
Very amazing!”

Viva easy money! Goodbye work, hello life of getting money without working.

—I can’t wait!
