Hisshou Dungeon Unei Houhou

Side: Yuki

The princess has escaped, and the matter with the village has been settled.

All thats left is to build up the defenses and get ready for the incoming enemys large army.

Lets leave the call of the demi-humans to the village chiefs.

The situation is still too unstable for us to leave this place, but if I were to tell the truth, we dont even need to stay since we have already gathered our forces.

So, the most important thing to do right now is to befriend Jessica Wide, a former member of the Wind Princess Knight unit of the Zilba Empire, who holds information on the Zilba Empire that will become a hostile force.

They say that information is more important than money.

Now, Jessica. What do you plan to do from now on?

In the meantime, Ill take care of her wishes.

The first step to leveling your likability is to care for the other.

Even though she is a prisoner, shes also an important source of information as long as she doesnt run away, and its not like we were particularly harmed by Jessica.

Although we were attacked by her army, there were no casualties. And our supplies have hardly decreased.

I even served Steve and the others some fancy liquor after their victory as their reward. Then theres the labor of preparing nearly 2,500 ropes for capturing people and also the transport of supplies. Ah, should I add the treatment fee?

Properly speaking, its not a problem for me because I can use DP to replenish supplies by using the dungeon.

Besides, its impossible to run off DP unless I use them too much. Weeds ten thousand inhabitants and three thousand strong men are supporting us.

What do you mean?

Although you are a prisoner I will keep my promise with the princess. As long as you dont run I wont give you weird orders. Ill respect your will. Though, Id like if you could give me as much information as you can

Are you planning to attack the Zilba Empire?

No, its just for defense. As you can see, were too few in numbers, and although our stance, we have become the enemy of the human race, its the height of folly to start the fight ourselves, right?

Youre indeed correct. I am also reported dead, so fleeing means that I would have to go to another country. Im indebted to the Zilba Empire. I have no reason to go to other countries. As I promised the princess, Ill concentrate on either ensnaring Yuki or gathering information about this place

Fumu. So you are openly declaring that you will become a spy? Even though you wont be able to go too deep?

I suppose so. Therefore, Im going to work for the leader, which is you, Yuki. You told me that it was okay to do what I wanted, right? Dont worry I wont assassinate you. You and Ria are both worth sacrificing my life for to obtain you. If you want, I will love you, Yuki, with all my heart?

Uhee. Shes truly a true soldier or should I say a too serious one?

Leaving that aside, if I apply a designated protection, she will also be protected, I can even put on her a collar, and that will keep us safe.

With her attitude, she will likely receive the designated protection. Should I try it?

Let me see If you get my designated protection, Ill show you the information you want to see. What will you do?

What is that designated protection?

As expected, she is the type who nods quickly.

Lets see. Its very tedious to explain the details from the beginning. Simply put, a slave collar. Its like a simplified version of that

A simplified version of a slave collar? How and where is that simple?

For the time being, Ill tell you the added ability of the designated protection.

To recap, no killing or wounding is allowed in the dungeon, movement is restricted, information is restricted to be kept private, those who received the designated protection can communicate with each other at a distance, and of course, attacking me is not allowed.

She wouldnt understand even if talk about dungeons, so Ill explain everything besides that.

Fumu fumu, theres no difference between a slaves collar. If there is a difference, its that Yuki is willing to ease the restrictions given how I behave?

Well, something like that. I can even abandon you in a space where there is nothing. In a sense, it can be said that the restrictions are more severe than a slaves collar

Herge said it was lighter than a slaves collar, but thats only if youre on the protected side.

If everything about you is restricted, then its even more troublesome alternative than a slaves collar.

However, youre going to tell me the secret of your mercenary groups strength, is that correct?

Its not like its a secret or anything

Anyway, even if I show you, you will only end with a big headache, and thats really troublesome, you know?

Even Jessica wouldnt be able to keep up with us, so even if she showed it to other princesses and such, they wouldnt understand.

In a sense, I saw that Jessica had such a talent and so I took her prisoner.

Does that response means that you are okay with receiving the designated protection?

Yes, I am, please

And so, the designated protection was easily accepted.

Oriel was the only one who took a backlash, well, he had a different position at that time.

So thats how it is, she is Jessica, someone who will become a friend? of ours. Please give her your welcome

Ye~s

Okey

My wives replied normally.

Steve looks awkward because hes the one who fought her.

Mauve and the others just nodded their heads and didnt pay any particular attention, I guess the real battlefield is like this.

Its like that, you cant hold a grudge for everything.

Or rather, Mauve and the others are deliberately avoiding the issue. Please, dont say anything bad.

Jessica-san, Im called Shera. Id be happy if I could hear a lot of stories

Jessica-onee-chan, my name is Asurin. Nice to meet you

Im Filia!!

Labiris. *gigle*

Unlike the time when she greeted Tori and the others, Jessicas face seemed stiff as she greeted Shera and the others.

Ah, yes. Nice to meet you

As expected, is there a problem?

Is she not good with children? Lets talk to her when Asurin and the other are away.

Asurin and the others are preparing Jessicas welcome party. Ill be giving her a tour, so Asurin and you all will have to work hard for todays meal. Now its the time to show me what youve learned so far

Yes!! Ill do my best!!

I understand. But take your time

Yuki, you got an interesting girl again

Saying that, the younger group went back to the inn.

I tried to talk to Jessica who was seeing them go away

Yuki!! Why are there children in your mercenary group!!?

Eh, what are you mad about?

Fighting is something we adults should do, and the children who are responsible for our future should at least stay healthy until the time comes!! Why did you bring them to such a battlefield!!

Ah, now I understand. She is really too serious.

I understand what youre saying, but isnt it bad to leave them in the village where you stopped by? And that doesnt mean that the village will be safe in the future

I now that. But a bigger fight is coming up here in the near future

Eh, are you trying to deceive me?

Im sure even you, Yuki, knows it. Even the Zilba Empire is not a monolithic. There are even people who want to overthrow the princess

Im sure there are. I believe we are in the right time to buy time

Then why!! Why such a

Dont worry. This is what those kids wanted

Something like that cant be

Then, I say something that silences Jessica.

Didnt you hear? It was us and those children who crushed the main squadron of your princess!

Wha-!?

Ive been saying from the beginning, didnt I? That the princess wont and cannot become an obstacle. However, if we antagonize them, it will be difficult to move, so we are taking the necessary steps for that to not occur

Then Ria pulls Jessicas hand.

To where?

You want to know, right? Why is that Yuki, why is that we have such a strength that defies common sense?

Yes

In that case, follow us. Asurin and the others are waiting for us to eat. Ill guide you before the food cools down. Thats okay, right? Yuki-san?

Oh, its been a while since Ive been to Weed. Ah, dont be lax with the defense, okay? Steve

Yeah yeah, you can go-ssu. Ah right, please buy some chocolate flakes for Super Lutz

Hey, you are the one who wants that!

While making such promises, I took Jessica with me and went into the dungeon.

Yes, this is a certain city inside of the dungeon. Its no exaggeration to say its the most developed on our continent, Weed

Jessicas eyes were already turned into dots.

For the time being, I took her to the government office so that I could save time in the explanation as much as possible, but the office is already close to a four-story modern building.

Outside, there are ordinary concrete streets, modern private houses and shops are spreading.

Now now, this is a pamphlet. Lets see, lets start by opening page three

She opened the page as I told her.

Yeah, its probably better than Crack and Alshtail who say at the beginning that everything was a dream or something.

Weeds population is constantly growing. As you can see, its a place far different from others and a rather isolated environment. The pamphlet says that the total population is 13,000, but just the other day, we received a certificate of residency and now it exceeded 17,000

Eh, wait a minute, why is the population growing so much?

Eh? Isnt Ririana-san sending everyone who is feeling unwell or has it rough living to the dungeon gates?

Really!!?

Well, I left that part to Seraria and Ellis, after all.

Doing bureaucratic routines is too troublesome!! So this a good place to leave all that troublesome work. A Japanese office like on the earth.

Hmm to think that a city was spreading under the ruins

Hm?

Eh?

Ah, thats right, theres no dungeon there so she doesnt even know what a transfer gate it is?

Rather, from where should I explain to her?

Ria, leave the Weed introduction for now. She needs an explanation in advance, after all

I think youre right. I will go and rent an empty room in the government building

What? We are not under the ruins on the underground?

No, youre correct but at the same time incorrect, should I say?

Would she believe if I told her that its another continent?

This is bad~, its really hard to explain about us to someone with a civilization gap.

Yuki-san, I rented a conference room on the third floor~

Oh, then lets go?

Please, wait a moment. According to the explanation, hmm, this government office, was it? This place is where the information of the people is managed? To be able to rent such a place so easily

Ah, thats right. Lets see. Lets just introduce who we are at Weed. Im Weeds army adviser, the general of the monster army, and the army direct commander, Yuki. Though Im not much involved in politics, I have a great deal in authority

Im that Yukis adviser secretary and one of the wives, Ria

Wha

Of course, she would be surprised.

She thought we were a mercenary group, but the truth was that we were a high-ranking member of another countrys military forces.

Ah, thats right. Im sure there is some information you want to give to the princess, you can write to her normally

This kind of compassion is important, isnt it?

W-Who is going to believe something like that!!

Yeah, I thought so.

She would only think Im crazy here by telling her that she can write what she saw here.

This is just the beginning. First, well start with basic knowledge

Indeed. Common sense may be different in places you dont know of, so first, she should study

This is just just the front? P-Princess. Our opponent may be the legendary Demon King

Hey, Im not tired enough for a job change after my wives recognized me as a hero.

Jessica-san, please dont say such rude things towards Yuki-san

Im s-sorry. It was too too unexpected

Oh, Ria is scolding her in some weird way?

Even Deriyu is a demon king, right? So I dont think there is any problem even if Im told demon king?

Yuki-san has already a hero which is me and a demon king called Deriyu-san as wives. Its not a mistake to call him a Hero or a Demon King, but even that its an underestimation!!

Ah, its about that?

Jessica looked like a rusty tin toy making a *gigi* sound while moving her neck

Rias a hero and

Yes Thats a fact

When I answered, Jessica squatted down while holding her head.

Impossible. But the scenery in front of me is real. But, as expected, a hero is and even a demon king? A lie. But having that kind of strength? Wait a moment, so Yuki is even above them? Whats that, what kind of living thing is that? A dragon? Its no wonder, dragons are stronger than heroes and demon kings. He is a dragon and so this city is

Oh, she is confused.

Now I dont know if I can make it in time for dinner~.
