Chapter 4
Lets Deal With the Bandits Somehow
Two days passed since I was summoned.
Somehow or another my DP is even 179, no, its 180 now. I could summon nine goblins.
By the way, I know the reason why the dungeon core wasnt destroyed. They used it as a hot water bottle.
The dungeon core shined faintly and was slightly warm.
The bandits boss made the dungeon core room his bed, I understood when he put his feet up on the dungeon core and fell asleep. As expected, when I wanted to see how things were going outside, I pulled up the app and saw the dirty soles of his feet on the wall.
He kicked dungeon core-san in the heart.
W-well? Even I can earn DP if its these guys? Its a win-win you know? Fufun.
Knowing that her heart was being rolled around by some smelly feet, the blonde-haired loli dungeon core was almost in tears. I saw something adorable.
Now then, is there anything to do
Summon something! Summon goblins for a slaughter!? Ah, a 150 DP lizardman would be good! That guy would never forgive that boss, hell stab him over and over!
Idiot. Someone like that would just be stabbed instead.
Seems that she was humiliated by her heart being treated like a heater after all.
There are eight enemies, our war potential is overwhelmingly insufficient. If you didnt summon a goblin to begin with, we would have saved a bit more on food expenses.
Hmph, I didnt know about that guys maintenance costs wait, didnt you also use some of the DP to summon a [Futon]!?
And another thing, it seems you can see anywhere inside the dungeon from the dungeon core. It was a function of the menu.
By the way, Rokuko didnt know that. That makes sense, since it wasnt a needed feature if you only had a single room.
But, what do we do?
Ah, what hey, what about letters? Can Rokuko write? Can the bandits read?
If thats it Yea, I can write. I wonder if the bandits cant read? They seemed to read a book of their spoils, so if its easy.
I see. Then, please write down what I say out loud for a sec.
Oka~y.

Booooss! Please wake up!
Ngah?
When the bandit boss woke up in the cave, there was a box.
Was something like this here yesterday? No, there wasnt. I would have noticed it before.
Whats this? Howd it get here?
I dunno. But Rodriguez was on guard and said no one came in.
So what, did this just appear out of thin air?
So what now?
I checked the box, but it doesnt look like there are traps set on it. When I carefully opened the box, there was a steel helmet in it.
This is a good item, and new at that.
Hey, isnt this pretty good? Seems like itd sell for a lot. I might even use it.
Boss, theres something written on the bottom of the box.
Hm? Whats this shit writing? Oi! Braken, you should be able to read these, read em!
Yah! Lesseee?
Showing the box to his underling to read it, it was read.
The content was unexpected.
[Iamthedanjuncor. Thankyoufordefeatinggoblins. Thisisagift. Iftheresmoredone, Icangivemore.]
Dungeon core? Oi, this is a dungeon?
Eh, no, this place was called an [Ordinary Cave].
Ah, hold up boss! When I was an adventurer I heard this dungeon was named [Ordinary Cave]!
Is that true Johnny!?
The bandit boss was startled.
There was something glittering from the ground, the warmth felt good when he placed his feet on it. Perhaps, was that the dungeon core?
He hadnt heard of being able to talk with dungeon cores, but this was a letter from the dungeon core. To say this was someones trick no one came in even with someone standing watch, and theres this steel helmet no one could have prepared.
And according to the letter, the steel helmet seems to be a gift for defeating the goblins.
Perhaps it was the goblins near the dungeon core that he kicked out when he came to the cave. For a bandit boss, five goblins were nothing but small fry. To get a steel helmet like this just for beating some small fry
Oi oi are you serious? I see my lucks turning around!
Stories of dungeons are famous. Theres a dungeon called [White Labyrinth] in the imperial capital.
No, the imperial capital was made where the dungeon was already at after all.
As for the dungeon, there were monsters, but it was a place that produced various treasures, like magic armor. And this is a dungeon. However, there havent been any monsters so far. If I had to say anything, there were just the five goblins when we came here. And then theres this treasure. This steel helmet.
It seems I pleased this dungeon.
The bandit boss grinned.
The dungeon produced treasure for the person who pleased it in other words, it was the same as holding infinite riches.
[If theres more done, I can give more.] Come to think of it, the goblin corpses had disappeared before they realized it. They thought someones subordinate cleaned it up though
So that means, in other words, it was something like that.
The box that had contained the steel helmet also disappeared before they realized it.

Whyyyyyyyyyy!! Him-! Why-! Why did we reward someone like that guy-!?
The blonde-haired loli was writhing about.
[Pen and Ink] was 5 DP, [Wooden Box] was 5 DP, and [High Quality Steel Helm] was 170 DP.
And spending the DP I had, were broke at 0 DP now.
I used all of the DP to give a [Present] to the bandits boss.
Why!? It wouldnt have been very difficult to summon goblins!
Then die when they fail? Hahaha, sorry. I dont want to die yet. I want to sleep.
T-thats why, youre a, a traitor!
Weve gained some time with this for now. Since well massacre them before long, calm down.
Eh?
Maybe because she was astonished that the word massacre came out of my mouth, but Rokuko exposed a goofy face.
Why? You, since youre human, didnt you give a tribute in order to help them?
Hah? I just want to be safe in my bed. Even so, why should I leave dangerous guys like bandits alone?
Eeh we-well then, shouldnt you be hesitating in taking care of people of the same race?
I dont know. I want to sleep. Besides, that doesnt mean Ill take care of them directly Ah, since theres nothing left to do today Im going to sleep. Alright, good night.
I took out the futon and laid down.
W-w-wait up! Please explain a bit more!
It cant be helped huh then Ill explain some more. Tomorrow. Good night.
D-dont slee!? !
As I fell asleep, I heard Rokukos voice fade out.
It seems the order from the first day is still effective. Good night.
