Hisshou Dungeon Unei Houhou

Side: Yuki

(Yuki)We all came here for information. Can everyone calm down and focus on that for now?

Honestly, Ill probably have to listen to the explanations, investigate the truth a little and follow up with a question and answer session later. Even if were told the truth, that does not mean its still the truth, theyve been here for well over 200 years after all.

(Raie)Eto, aniue. Where would you like to start?

(Yuki)What do you mean?

(Raie)I understand that aniue is also a Dungeon Master, but what is it that you would like to know exactly?

(Yuki)What huh Well, Id like to hear about anything, to be honest. We can always find time for all-important information. Please take your time telling us anything you might think is even remotely useful.

That was my answer.

I have a lot of plans for the future, considering the fact that the entire continent is involved, that also means that there are a lot of variables. Id like to iron out the unknowns to prevent as much trouble in the future as I can. I need information at all costs, whatever I can put it to use for the Dungeon is valuable.

(Raie)Eto, what do you intend to do with your Dungeon then aniue?

(Yuki)..Ah, come to think of it. Right should we start there?

Were both Dungeon Masters, so it doesnt turn into how to manage a Dungeon, but what you intend to do with it, huh.

Right, how to answer that?

Even if I explain things Its impossible to give any kind of simple explanation, only ridiculous explanations spring to mind.

(Delille)Thou may rest easy Raie. Yuki is attempting to eliminate war with his Dungeon. Prithee lendest him a hand if thou are able.

(Raie)Huh?

Oi oi! Delille just blurted it all out!.

I mean, Raie must be totally lost now.

Thats natural though. Normally, if youre aware of a Dungeon, what would you usually do?

(Raie)Eto, how can you use a Dungeon to stop war? Dont tell me youre going to gather power with your Dungeon and crush all resistance!? We wont accept such a thing we only want to live quietly. Besides, arent Dungeons only seen as natural disasters?!

Raie, who thinks that force is the only option when using Dungeons, denies me completely.

(Delille)Fool, thinkest harder. If Yuki truly wanted to hold the world using military power, Raie would be dead now. Hasnt thou seen it already? How he skillfully and easily managed to take over this Dungeon. Moreover would I willingly support him like so, if such was the case?

(Raie)I see

(Yuki)Well, Delilles saying a bit too much though By the way Raie, do you know about gates and transfer traps?

(Raie)Yes, theyre used to connect different places, I think? Im also using them so that Lilli and Anna can easily visit the town.

(Anna)Yes, thats right.

From there, I had to try and briefly explain everything.

That by using the gates, I will connect all the countries to the Dungeon and thereby make them monitor each other, which in turn will suppress war.

Well, theres more than one tricky hurdle for things to get that far though.

(Yuki)Thats the plan

(Raie)Haa, thats an awesome plan But, its not impossible to realize either. Thats incredible!

Both Raie and Anna-san1)seemed very impressed.

(Yuki)To make this a reality, along with Lulu and Serarias help, centering around the Dungeon we currently have in Rochelle, we have to set up a Dungeon in as many countries as possible.

(Raie)So, the problem is how aniue can expand his own Dungeon, whilst giving the countries a good image of it right?

(Yuki)Yes, if I have a Dungeon Master like Raie as an ally, thatd be great. But if theyre hostile towards us..

(Raie)In the end, youd have to wrestle for control of their Dungeon and be forced to either restrain or kill them.

Thats right, Dungeons Masters are the most difficult kind of enemy.

(Yuki)Thats about it. Now that I know Raie is Delilles brother, I want to know if youll be willing to cooperate with me.

(Raie)Yes, aniue. There is no reason for me to fight against you.

(Yuki)I appreciate it. As things are right now, since I have to travel outside between many countries, well arrange the documents pertaining to the details later, so lets leave signing them until after weve reached a more organized state and youve looked them over.

(Raie)Thats reasonable. I have no objections with that.

No objections at all?

But I guess thats royalties magnanimity for you.

Hearing a suitable story, understanding its importance to a minimum extent and responding after only thinking about it.

Well, there are subjects you have to simplify in various ways too.

(Yuki)This is more or less our goal. But even though we want to suppress war, well likely encounter trouble in the future.

(Raie)Thats true. If war was something that was so easily abolished, it wouldve been done away with long ago.

(Yuki)Thats what I think too, and thats the real reason why I want Raie to cooperate with us. Well, if you want to live your life here quietly, then I wont be unreasonable with you. Still, even in that case I would like to hear some advice from you.

(Raie)Lets see. I understand what aniue wants, so may I have some time to think about it?

Perhaps Raie is trying to counsel with Anna-san2)and Lilli.

It would be tyrannical to decide this without listening to your comrades.

You have to carefully discuss things.

(Delille)What, Raie? Doest thou have any problems?

(Raie)No, aneue. This isnt a decision I can make on my own. After all, if I cooperate with aniue and aneue not only I, but also my companions will surely be caught up in trouble too, right?

(Delille)Well, that is..

Yes, cooperating with us also means getting involved in future problems.

However, since we met you, damage was unavoidable.3)

(Raie)Even though its easy to give you an answer, my leadership would come under doubt. Aniue, could you let me think this over for a bit? I need some time to reach a decision.

(Yuki)Of course. Please think it through carefully. Thats right, lets also show you the Dungeon were making.

(Raie)Yes, please. Even if I listen to stories, ahh its not like I dont believe what aneue says, but I wish to see it with my own eyes.

(Anna)Yes, thats important.

Before long, we will show our Dungeon to Raies group.

But for now, I definitely gained a lot from this trip. This Dungeon, I thought it would just be good for earning a bit of DP but unexpectedly, it seems I hit the jackpot.

(Raie)Ill visit your Dungeon for a guide guide once the preparations are finished. Right now, I will connect to your No, its already connected isnt it? But, right now I cant leave just yet

(Anna)Yes, its indeed too sudden.

(Delille)Raie, youre not coming?

(Raie)Aneue, theres a lot to take care of and its too sudden. Even if I choose to go, I have to leave a substitute Master for this Dungeon. Theres a lot to prepare for since its my first time.

Hmm?

Whats with that selection of words?

(Yuki)Raie, you. Something feels off in your earlier words. When you said theres a lot to prepare for since its your first time Did you mean about leaving the Dungeon?

(Raie)Yes, this is the first time Im leaving this Dungeon.

(Yuki)Really?4)

(Raie)Yes, I have been keeping up to date on the latest information through Anna and Lilli. I know that aniue is a real Dungeon Master, but unlike you, I cant bear taking the same risks.

Wait a minute, you still havent noticed that were using Doppels as substitute?

Ah, thats how it is.

But that means..

(Yuki)Sorry, but you do know that Galtz is one of the 4 major countries and that they have the most Dungeons right?

(Raie)Yes, I think that a Dungeon Master besides myself came a while back.

(Yuki)Came?

(Raie)Yes, I became a Dungeon Master about 200 years ago. There was no reports of Dungeons during that time. No, wait i think there might have been one.

(Anna)Yes, there was only one Dungeon when it was still our country. However, about 150 years ago, the number of Dungeons suddenly started increasing rapidly.

Anna supplements.

(Yuki)So that means at least one other Dungeon has a Dungeon Master..

(Raie)Most likely. We only have this one Dungeon. Aniue, youre not acquainted with any other Dungeon Masters?

(Yuki)No.

Hm, would I call this a shame, or valuable information.. I thought that it would be fine if Raie took control of the Dungeons in this area, but can he handle it?

(Yuki)Then, what about information on the other Dungeons then?

(Raie)Yes, sometimes Lilli visited other Dungeons for her adventurers work.

(Lilli)Lets see. I didnt see anything particularly strange. One could call them normal Dungeons I suppose.

Yes, but I dont understand what makes a Dungeon ordinary though. Lets ask Lulu, Tori, Riel and the others later.

We also have support from the Adventurer Guild so for now, we can still gather rough information.

(Yuki)Good. We should exchange the information we gather from here on out then. Anyway, lets stop here for now. At the moment, Im in in the middle of negotiations with Galtz. Lets talk more after that.

(Raie)Yes, thats fine. Also, would you return control over the Dungeon to me?

(Yuki)Thats a little late! Then leave us at least one floor and Ill connect it to my Dungeon. Delille will stand as an intermediary. You must not go in without Delilles permission. Okay, Delille?

(Delille)Umu, entrust this to Mineself.

(Raie)Lets do it. Like this its give and take, so Im grateful.

The capture of this Dungeon ended with surprising benefits.

Thats enough information for the day.

However, since hes stayed in a Dungeon for 200 years as a Dungeon Master, theres not much I should expect on the finer details I suppose.

Then, what will Galtzs answer be I wonder?

(Face: HAHAHA does anyone else feel weird when the author doesnt leave a footnote here? Just me? Am I the weird one? Anth: No, Chill said the same thing.)
