Well, What Now?

After I headed back to the inn to take a break from negotiating with the black wolf, a guest arrived. A man with a turban on his head uhh, who was this guy again? Ah, the shop manager huh. The guy I entrusted a hundred gold to. I forgot his name though. Wait did I ever even hear it?

Soon as that guy saw me, he shouted in a panic.

K-Kehma-han! I-i-its bad! T-theres been a major incideeent! S-s-serious for the villaaage!

I need to tell you as soon as possible! I got his intention, but I dont get what the incident is at all. Did someone die or something?

Major incident? What happened? Did you fail in that business venture?

T-thats alright! C-c-calm down and listen kay!? Its good, its good! Good news or bad news, which do ya want!?

Youre the one that should calm down. Thats the first I heard of there being good news.

Then lets go with the good part.

The good one, yeah, thats The fourth floor was captured!

The fourth floor ah, I forgot to fix the riddle area. Crap.

Aah, cool, and?

Matchin the Hero-samas report, the interior continues into a spiral staircase and, well, thats when they turned back though Muu, Kehma-han. Yer reactions a bit weak did ya already capture it as well!?

I wonder. So, is that all of the good news?

Yah. The riddle rooms doors were smashed up so that people could get by! It didnt look like they were repairin themselves after watching for a bit either. People could get to the fifth floor and get magic swords in swarms.

Aah, so theyll flock to it until I repair it huh. Haah, so troublesome

But heres the bad part! Theres the chance of a boss class monster is appearing on the second or third floors! Its bad! In truth, Bancho-hans corpse got found. The C-Rank adventurer, Bancho-han, was almost a B-Rank and got killed by it. The remnants of his corpse was burned, but there were traces that his armor was chewed off

Yep, thats Rin so its about the black wolf huh. I mean, I forgot about collecting his corpse, huh. Rather, didnt I forget about all of them?

More precisely, dont both of those things have to do with the black wolf? The adventurers were able to advance into the spiral staircase area thanks to that guy wrecking the riddle area. But theres also the possibility of it roaming the dungeon too, huh. Though its actually just sleeping in the core room, I dont know if itll stay there.

What do you think we should do, Kehma-han!?

Wouldnt it be fine to just have the guild put out an investigation or subjugation commission? Use the operating funds I left with you to pay for the reward. Ill leave the rest to you.

O-ooh! Right! Leave it to me!

The merchant ran off.

Yep, it should be plenty leaving it to him. I dont particularly feel like making him a comrade though.

Ah, wouldnt this look like another transition phase, making another lookout commission come up?

Troublesome. Even though I have so much going on right now Maybe I could refuse it using my authority as the village chief~

*

Since I couldnt repair the riddle area with all of the eyes on it right now, I decided to just make the parts. It should be a good chance have adventurers try out the warehouse area. There are a lot of iron golems wandering around there.

Well, it should also be fine to tease the adventurers with the variety golems. I want to steadily show off our characteristics as a dungeon.

And because of that, while I made compact golems, I had everyone gather to discuss what were going to do about the wolf again. I say everyone, but Nerune and Kinue-san arent here since theyre working at the inn right now though.

Now then, lets discuss for the future.

Kehma, shouldnt you only do one or the other? Make golems or discuss?

Dont be stupid, Ill have more time to sleep if I do all of the troublesome stuff together.

Ah, thats Kehma for you.

Rokuko nodded her head, understanding something. I dont get what she understood, but Im happy she gets it.

First off, the dungeon. Well increase the number of floors again. After the warehouse area, itll diverge into the boss room, the magma area, and the new floor.

Theres still the spiral staircase area to go through now, but wont adventurers make it into the warehouse area soon?

Yeah, since it cant be helped, the new floors entrance will be a new riddle area built quickly with nothing but DP. Well, make it quickly and well hurry to expand the dungeon farther in. Im making the necessary golems for a riddle area right now, so Ill leave the installation of it to you, Rokuko.

Got it! Ill start digging out the area after the riddle area with golems too.

Hopping onto my train of thought, as expected of my partner huh.

But what about that black wolf?

The black wolf its name seems to be Rin. I was able to talk with it but although I could fundamentally understand it, it was hard to understand.

It ate you after all, Kehma.

The messenger golem, huh. Right, need to make a new one of those too. Lets make a few since more will probably get eaten.

Ah, Ichika raised her hand to ask a question.

Goshujin-sama. What did that wolf say? We couldnt get that wolfs words at all

Ah, I asked what it wanted. The things that wolf wanted are a dwelling, and food.

So itll be quiet if it gets food and that room?

Docile huh, yeah.

Right now, Rins been sleeping since it ate the golem. Haaah

For now, since I was able to communicate, if we keep trying even though itll be troublesome me might manage somehow or another even though itll be troublesome

Persevering, heeeh. Somehow, that word feels like it suits Kehma the least, and also not?

Master, I feel you area working wonderfully.

Yep, come to think of it, dont I do amazing work when Im not asleep?

The time that other people play is when Goshujin-sama sleeps.

My vote is that he sleeps too much!

Even though the time hes awake is short, isnt masters workload more than the normal persons?

Oi, the story wandered off topic. It feels like theyre praising me but right now we should be talking about the wolf, the wolf!

Well, the wolf Rin, because we can negotiate with it, well keep trying to negotiate with the golem. We can talk with it to some degree.

When Kehma did the negotiations, no one else understand that wolf.

Before, when Id talked with Rin, after my first, Who are you, nothing else was in human speech, it was all in wolf language. Like bow-wow. Translation Function-san did his best huh.

Since my opening words were understood, Rin might be able to understand human speech. In other words, we should be able to converse with it in human speech as well if I just listen for the wolf speech.

Umm, Goshujin-sama. Are you sure?

Nn? Whats up, Meat? Can you understand wolf speech too?

Y-yes. Vaguely, though. I, am a dog beastkin.

Ooh! Meat, your doggy ears arent just for show! Alright, good good.

I fiddled around with Meats ears. Stroking her head, Meats tail wagged back and forth with a pitter-patter.

This was a good miscalculation. She might be able to connect with it better than me for the negotiations since shes black colored and a dog type.

Alright, lets leave the next negotiation to Meat. Show us you winning that wolf, Rin, over to our side, Meat!

Yes! Please leave it to me!

For the time being, lets make a black messenger golem for Meats use so that it sees it as a different person. I dont know if it can distinguish them apart though. Being black may be something important Maybe itll be interesting to mix black-colored paints into it instead of coating it or something?
