Chapter 100: Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Chapter 100

Underground Labyrinth

After finishing the meeting with Fuze, I headed back to Tempest.

I can move to any previously visited location via『Spatial Travel』you see.

It does use up some magic energy, but my reserves are so vast that I don't even feel it.

So it's a super useful skill that lets me transfer to places without any detriment.

When I neared the city, Gerudo contacted me via telepathy.

(We seek your immediate guidance, Rimuru-sama!)

What could be wrong?

With that thought, I transferred to Gerudo.

In a leap completed in a single moment, I head towards Gerudo. It truly is a very useful skill.

Not that I'm going to appear right by his side, rather I am going materialize in the near vicinity.

If necessary, I could appear exactly on a desired spot, but this time let's transfer a little further away.

Well, in fact, since it's a place I've visited before, I don't actually need to focus on transferring to the individual.

And at this point it's easier to move towards him by foot.

Gerudo was at the tunnel that Veldora had blown up.

Pieces of demon steel were spread across the landscape barely obscuring the ruined tunnel.

I had ordered it to be restored, yet no work seems to have been done.

I wonder why?

Gerudo seems to be arguing with somebody.

「I'm telling you~! We're now occupying these tunnels!」

「Even if so you say, we have not recognized your claims.

Please allow me to consult Rimuru-sama first.」

「No way! Can't you see, we've abandoned the labyrinth?!

Are you seriously planning on making us homeless?」

「No one is saying that. By the way, stop trying to sneak demon steel out of here.」

「Tch. How sharp! Don't sweat the small things, or my Beretta will–Wha!!」

Erasing my presence, I successfully captured Ramiris.

And looked her right in the face.

No question about it, it's Ramiris.

「What the hell are you doing?」

「Y-yahoo! What's up, Rimuru?」

Averting her eyes, Ramiris greeted me.

Even without asking, I know exactly what she was planning on doing.

She's planning on claiming the demon steel and connecting the tunnel into the labyrinth.

She's said something about building an entrance around here before, after all.

「So, you were planning on building a labyrinth here and you were discovered by Gerudo?」

「Eh… no, there's now way… I think. Maybe…?」

「In other words, I'm right. Seriously…」

「Aha, ahahaha…..」

She tried laughing the matter off.

Looking around, there's a clear need to reclaim the resources and repair the land, I thought.

But, maybe it's a good idea to have her build the labyrinth here after all?

I mean, think about my last conversation with Myormiles.

We want people to continuously revisit Tempest.

But, perhaps not every day, but at least every season.

So, is there something we could do that would attract people that often?

For example… how about we create a dungeon (labyrinth)?

This might be a good idea.

I look at Ramiris. Without a care, she's just smiling at me.

She's a little… no, she's very unreliable, but maybe she'll manage.

Steeling myself, I expressed my proposal.

* * *

My proposal.

It's very simple, really.

I'll have Ramiris create a labyrinth and act as it's manager.

And we'll thus have the labyrinth generate some profit.

Ramiris will live there, and I'll get some pocket change.

Of course, this idea requires her complete support, but she doesn't seem opposed to it?

In fact, when I disclosed the plan,

「Eh, eh? In other words, I can make a labyrinth here?!

…Actually… could this be a chance to finally dispel that horrid nickname: NEET?!」

Opening her eyes wide, she exclaimed.

Well, I did think of it more as a joke though.

「U-umm… it is true that I can earn some money this way?」

Swallowing hard, she asked me with a serious expression.

She's probably afraid that I'll change my mind.

Though there's no way I would. Well, not like all my promises are enforceable, though.

「I'm serious. But, I wouldn't know how much profit we can make until we try it…

Well, there will be related expenses, so how about 20% of the profits?」

「Umm… how much would that be?」

「Well, if a thousand adventurers visit in a single day, you'd be getting 2 gold coins.」

「Geh!! S-s-such a f-f-fortune?!」

「Well, actual earnings might be higher or lower than predicted.

And since you need to build a place to live anyways, you don't suffer as a result, right?」

She violently shook her head.

In the first place, had she built the labyrinth anywhere she wanted, she would still have to maintain it.

So there was nothing disagreeable about this.

She hugged me tightly out of joy.

Since both parties seem satisfied, this will become another project that I will oversee.

Adding Gerudo to our discussion, we polish out the details.

First, we have overnight plans to lay a road from the city here.

It's a trip that wouldn't even take half a day.

We had chosen this place as it was on the outer perimeter of the city.

About 10 km away, I'd like to say? Once the road is done, we also plan to build a stable nearby.

We had wanted to lay rails to transport people and baggage from here.

Since letting horses and magic beasts into the city would lead to new hygienic problems.

Reclaiming the demon steel is necessary for that goal, but I can just prepare some more.

Since it's relatively close to the city, an inn here would unlikely bring many customers.

So, we decided to build a motel instead.

But if we will build a labyrinth here, then an inn would be in order.

If they wanted to truly relax, they could always come back to Tempest. It's a good idea to keep work housing and home separate.

And if we build a labyrinth here we are bound to attract some adventurers.

It might be a good idea to also service the carriages coming to and from the Dwarf Kingdom and the (ex) Farmas Kingdom.

Drawing up the plan, I have Gerudo confirm it.

He finds it acceptable.

Moreover, the site of our battle with the knights is only a few steps away.

Two kilometers towards the city, where a number of roads intersect, is the planned site of the arena.

It's relatively close to the city, so we expect the guests to walk there.

Unlike our world, people tend to walk here.

It's unimaginable to not walk a round trip of less than 20 km. They also follow the early to bed, early to rise policy.

So if we hold the tournament from 10:00~15:00, that should give them enough time to make the trip.

As for the staff, we can probably have them stay at the inn.

Having thus agreed with Gerudo, we moved on to discussing the arena blueprint.

After talking to Myormiles, I finally envisioned how I wanted it to look.

Normally, I would spend hours in front of my laptop creating the plan, but now I can do it by hand.

Raphael really is useful at these minor things.

Accepting my design with a "No problem", Gerudo left.

When I looked at Ramiris,

「Uhehe… now even I will be making money, huh.

Gone are the days when I was made fun of as the Poverty Demon Lord!」

Is she tripping? She seems completely lost in her world.

Well, I guess she'll be fine.

She's been significantly ridiculed up until now.

Though who has heard of a demon lord in want of money?

(TL Note: "in want of" means to lack)

Though more than money, not working is the problem I believe…

True, Ramiris' Labyrinth was rather devoid of… people.

She was probably really bored and really lonely.

I really hope adventurers show up. For Ramiris' and my sake.

Dragging Ramiris back into reality, we go over the detail of the labyrinth.

Ramiris is showing a determined face, the likes that I never have seen from her before, and is ready to go.

I had five questions for her.

How many floors can be constructed underground?

How many days would it take to finish?

What about the monsters inside?

Can interior layout be altered? Further, can treasure chests be set up?

In case of death, could we set up a system where they are reborn on the surface?

Is what I asked.

Here's what she answered.

There's no limit, but realistically, at most 100 floors.

It's possible to finish in a day. Thanks to species-skill『Labyrinth Creation』it can be created in a single moment. The interior aside.

Whatever we wish since Spirits inhabited the previous one, they did not spawn. But, if magic concentration falls, only weak monsters will spawn.

It's possible. Actually, customizing the interior is one of the functions of her skills. It's also possible to create a rotation of floor patterns, but only one floor at a time. If not the structure but the interior–that can be changed relatively simply.

It's possible. But, you would have to wear a special item created via『Labyrinth Creation』

Is what she said

「Wonderful! It's wonderful, Ramiris-kun!」

「Really, like really really? Am I really amazing?」

「Yeah. Now our ambitions have overlapped!」

「Really? I was just thinking the same thing」

We nodded at each other.

「I'm looking forward to working with you, Ramiris」

「Yeah, I'll be in your care. Joining a large organization is like riding a big ship. It's reassuring」

Big ship, huh. Let's hope we're not the Titanic.

Since our sizes are different, we couldn't really shake hands but we were one in spirit.

I decided to have Ramiris take the demon steel scattered around.

Since it seems that she will make something really useful.

We continued to exchange ideas regarding the design and concept of the dungeon.

While being very merry.

Me and Ramiris "being merry" and discussing the dungeon.

To say the least, our conversation went into a weird direction and we drafted out a design of a super advanced dungeon.

Next is production.

As Ramiris declared, it will easily be done by tomorrow.

So promising to come visit, I return to the city.

I need to have Kurobee hand over all those test armors and weapons that won't be seeing the marketplace any time soon.

「Is this fine, Rimuru-sama? These articles are imperfect and can hardly be used by the average person.」

「Nah, it's fine. I'll leave these aside to receive the spirit's blessing and have them soak up some magic energy.

They might become magic items, you see」

「Is that so. In that case, do as you see fit」

He said and took out the products from the cellar.

I accepted them and expressed my thanks.

However, to think that he had so many trial products.

At some point, he had added a hundred items to this list. There are full sets here as well, and all of these items are far better than what you would find being sold in a store.

But, as Kurobee mentioned, these are imperfect items to which the user could never adjust to.

So these can hardly be called tools.

But in exchange for sucking up magical energy and converting it into raw strength, the user can temporarily obtain unbelievable physical power.

Well, it's not like you should only use it if you have a death wish, but only a fool would use an untested product.

Not that I'd take responsibility for that, though.

So what should I do about this product line?

I'm actually playing on putting it into treasure chests inside the dungeon and having special monsters guard these.

To think I would have a chance at a real life dungeon creator… this is too exciting.

Well, it is true that just auctioning these products off would bring a lot of gold.

Actually, that might be the best option.

But, that's no good. What's most important is the ongoing advertisement of Tempest.

If they see the beauty of our city and feel it's charm, surely they will come again.

Honestly, when I told Ramiris that she can create an entrance to her labyrinth, I originally intended it to be in the middle of the city.

But, I soon realized the benefit of having a tavern town for adventurer's convenience.

Equipment and the like should be bought up in the city.

Just think about how much money will be spent. Even if we stock up ahead of time, we'll probably run out.

With the money left over for maintenance and purchase of raw material, we can probably offer sales for return customers.

That way, the adventurers will speak of us among themselves and Tempest will certainly gain fame.

Moreover, it's probably a good idea to keep the citizens busy.

The Tournament will probably be held at most twice a year, but we'll certainly hold other events.

Military drills, adventurer tests.

So we'll definitely put all these buildings to use. And the dungeon will certainly draw even more attention.

Thus, having assembled all these parts, I have finally decided to gain the one being necessary to make it all work out.

Veldora.

Veldora's in my room.

He's grown very accustomed to it.

「Hey, Veldora, I've got a favor to ask of you.」

「Hmm? Can't you see that I'm busy?」

Yeah. You're reading manga.

And clearly have nothing to do.

「I see… that's too bad. And, I was just about to offer something fun to do.

If you're busy, it can't be helped. I guess I'll just ask Diablo」

I said, and pretended to leave

「Hey, wait up. I'm busy, but I'll listen to your request.

Speak!」

Hook, line, and sinker.

How easy to manipulate he is.

It's as easy to manipulate this old geezer as taking a candy from a baby.

But that aside,

「The thing is, we were thinking about building a dwelling for you.

Ramiris and I were talking about it, and she's currently building it.」

「W-what did you say?! Seriously?

But, why did you call it a favor?」

Whether he's deeply interested or not, he has a serious look on his face.

Seriously… too easy.

I told Veldora about the Dungeon plan.

「So the thing is, we need a king to rule over the dungeon.

Ramiris will supervise it. And, on the 100th floor we'll create an entrance leading to the spirits' labyrinth.

We need a strongest guardian to protect this gate.」

「I see… and you want me to do it?」

「Exactly. And while in the labyrinth, I want you to constantly flaunt your aura」

「Seriously? It's okay?」

「It is」

I nodded.

Frankly, I don't care at all about the guardian.

What I want is Veldora's aura.

If he releases it around here, it will so densely concentrate, that normal people won't be able to survive.

But if he keeps it in too long, releasing it will create an explosion like last time.

So it's probably not a good idea to keep it in that long. So there's a need to release it.

Which means, that we needed to find a place for him to do so…

The cave of the seal could not completely restrain all of Veldora's aura.

That's why I had the dungeon be made 100 floors deep and once he freely release his aura.

And it's true purpose…

Once the magic concentration increases, monsters will naturally spawn.

As it trickles upwards, the upper floors will certainly be occupied by small fry with strong beings further in.

Even the cave had A- ranked Tempest Serpents spawn.

Just what kind of monster will he spawn now, I can't even begin to imagine it.

Perhaps another intelligent slime will spawn among them.

So Veldora releasing his aura will only benefit us.

Killing two birds with one stone, essentially.

「… And when I see adventurers,

『Kuahahaha, you have done well coming this far! Let me welcome you, insects!』

or something like,

『Kuahahaha, you can't run away from me. Didn't you know? You can't run away from the Storm Dragon!』

And fight them, right?」

Veldora said.

He's completely into it by now. He didn't seem to into it in the beginning, though.

I nodded,

「Moreover, it would also be possible to face entire units of adventurers.

It's like, a Real Simulation Game, you see.

How about it? Doesn't it sound fun?」

Veldora stood up, and put the manga in his pocket.

And facing me,

「As expected of you, Rimuru. I always knew you could do great things」

He said, and shook my hand.

Thank god he's an idiot.

And thus, I have (with great difficulty?) recruited Veldora.

The next day.

Veldora and I went to see Ramiris.

As she promised, the labyrinth was completed.

「Yo, Ramiris, you doing good?」

「Ah, master! It has been a while. I am in perfect health!」

These two are friendly as always.

Ramiris was already sitting on Veldora's shoulder by the time they began the exchange.

And after exchanging greetings, we got right into the explanation.

As I had wanted, the labyrinth was created via a number of blocks.

That was, once every few days we can change its layout.

Every ten floors we have set up save points.

Upon reaching this point, the next time you enter you can continue from where you left off.

To that end, we had decided to grant licenses to adventurers to use magic teleportation circles.

Selling maps is probably too evil. It'll also be a pain to make new ones every day.

And let's not forget about the most important item.

The charm made by Ramiris'『Labyrinth Creation』

It will only work once.

Any death that occurred in the labyrinth will be negated, and the user will be returned to the surface.

It will activate ten seconds after death has been confirmed.

There's also an emergency escape item that returns the user to the surface.

These safeguards we plan to sell at the entrance. Whether they buy these or not is their choice.

But if you don't but it and die… you only have yourself to blame.

I, personally, would definitely buy it.

As for the price, we can decided that later. For now, all done.

Hopefully this will all end as well as we want it to.

There are still many things left to implement, but that's for later.

We exchanged glances, and laughed like the villains we are.


Chapter 101: Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Chapter 101

Smooth Plan

We went to the last floor where Veldora will live and arranged the interior.

I take out all of the furniture out from my stomach and set them in room cordoned off by blocks.

Atmosphere is really important, so I can't let the public see it.

I copied and prepared some items that Veldora likes.

And after we finished decorating the room, we proceeded to the center of the 100 floor and had Veldora release his aura.

Veldora released his aura carefully and managed to do so without an accident.

The inner walls of the room were created out of ore.

It going to turn into demonic steel soon after getting bathed with magic power after all, so it's a simple mod wall.

This way, we can save a bit on costs.

By the way, the first floor of this dungeon is a square room 250m wide.

It's the same size as 4 Tokyo Domes, but as you continued further down, the size got smaller.

The dungeon was created this way so the aura could spread well.

Veldora's room is 100m2 wide.

It's seems quite big, but if Veldora get into his real form, it actually quite small.

It was created so it can be expanded if it's ever inconvenient.

The dungeon is under Ramiris control, so it can be customized freely to some degree.

The aura is seeping up to each floor as planned.

Since there's no wall to block the way, it fills the room without disturbance.

All we have to do now is to wait until the monsters spawned.

After Veldora turned back into his human form, we moved on to the next step.

First, about traps

Poisoned Arrow ●●● Arrows smeared with poison come flying out of nowhere

Poison Swamp ●●● Swamp that is really poisonous. If you fall into one, you'll get poison damage and abnormal status

Turning Tile/Mat ●●● Driving your sense of direction mad. Feel the importance of mapping!

Moving Tile/Mat ●●● A floor that moves all by it own. Really scary.

Cutting Thread ●●● Pass by it without realizing, your head comes off. Combined with Moving Floor for brutal results

Pitfall ●●● Rather than the damage dealt by falling down, what's awaiting you when you fall is scarier.

False Treasure Box(Mimic) ●●● Great, a treasure box..? Too bad, it's ME!

Laughing Treasure Box ●●● Great, a treasure box! Die laughing.

Monster Room ●●● Hi there! Finally, a feast.

Sealing Room ●●● Turn a fire on and…..

Darkness Floor ●●● It's a common sense to bring a torch you know. If you don't have one, we could sell one for a high price, how about it?

Low Ceiling Floor ●●● I don't want to meet monster while crawling~

Terrain Effect Floor ●●● What the hell is this?! Why there's a volcano in a dungeon!

I listed all of the trap I could think of.

Almost all of them are possible.

It's just the Terrain Effect Floor is too difficult. Well, volcano is impossible as expected.

I was imaging having blazing floor, freezing floor, or blizzard floor that makes traps from natural disasters, but....

「Impossible. I don't have the energy to maintain something like that!」

As expected, it's impossible.

Well, I might've asked for something really absurd.

And when I was going to give up on that plan,

「Do you want me to tame a fire dragon or ice dragon from somewhere?」

I hear the voice of someone that shouldn't be there.

As I turn around I could see silver haired twintail.

「Eh…..? Why are you here? Milim….」

100 floors underground.

In the other word, in the last floor of the newly-built dungeon, a beautiful young demon lord is smiling with a complacent smile.

「Fufun. Somehow I feel that you're doing something fun. To think you were courageous enough to exclude me」

She said while getting arrogant and arching her back to emphasize her pitiful chest.

As usual, she's dressed all in black with dragon knuckles–that are emitting a dim light and hardly fit–on her hands.

Still, as expected. She's really sensitive to this kind of conspiracy.

No doubt, it's impossible to hide things from Milim.

In the first place, it's impossible to reason with Milim.

Just because she appeared here, there's no need to be surprised.

Milim and Veldora glared at each other, but afterwards shaked hands and seemed friendly.

If the two of them fight with each other, it'll be a serious matter.

Thank goodness they have become friends.

「Sorry about that. I had no intention to leave you behind. I was going to invite you after it was done」

「Really? But it's more fun to participate from the get-go when doing something like this」

「Well, that might be true. By the way, is your country all right?」

She's also a demon lord.

Moreover after merging her territory with the former demon lords Frey and Karion's territory, it should have gotten rather big.

Is it ok for her to play and walk around like me? (Hmm, me? I'm good. Everyone is really excellent, so it's better that I don't disturb them)

Upon hearing my question, she averted her gaze.

「Well, it's fine. See, I'm really excellent after all....

By no means have I come here by running away because I hate studying!」

I see.

Frey or the other examined and summarize the country state of affair and tried to teach it to Milim.

She hated it and ran away to this place. That's probably the real situation.

「No way! I'm going join no matter what!」

Before I say anything, she refused.

As expected. Her intuition is sharp as usual.

Well, whatever. I'm not the one that's going to get scolded anyway.

Rather than that,

「Alright, I'm not the one that's going to get yelled at, so let's put that matter aside.

What you said before, taming a dragon? Is that possible?」

「Ugh…. I really will get scolded…? No, but….

It can't be helped. There's bound to be some danger when you venture out.

It's possible to tame a dragon. If you want, should I tame one for you?」

「Ooh, can I rely on you? In that case what species are there?」

Milim fears getting scolded, just like a kid that skip her homework to go play.

Well, it can't be helped. It's the path she took.

After overcoming her worried expression, Milim's mood changed easily as she teach us about dragons.

Seems like Veldora had no interest in it at all.

Ramiris is saying something like 「What are you doing coming to this place!」 just to get glared at by Milim and caught..

From Milim's explanation, there are 4 types of dragons.

Fire dragon, ice dragon, wind dragon, and earth dragon.

There are some that gained special evolution or unique, but these are the only four types.

As expected it's impossible to tame a dragon lord, but as long it's not a lord, it's possible to tame an adult one.

With this, having an effect similar to terrain effect is possible.

And so we'll have the dragons live on the lower floors.

I don't really know just how strong a dragon is, but practically every dragon is at least an A rank.

It's the level that could be defeated by 6 Holy Knights.

An elemental dragon is bound to increase the difficulty. Thus – while being carefree, of course – I arrange the dragon floors.

In order of strength, fire>ice>wind>earth.

Or so it would be if the dragon is young. The order might get changed it it's an old one. That is, the dragon that is able to exercise all of its power will arise victorious.

If it's the order from strength only and it became like that.

And so,

99th floor is Flame Hell Floor Being covered in high temperature flame, the last gateway. Heat-resistant equipment is needed. The one that waiting before it is!?

98th floor is Ice Hell Floor. If you stop, you die. Can you endure it with cold-resistant equipment?

97th floor is Lighting Floor. The thread of lighting falling down from the sky. Whether you can break through this floor or not depend on your luck!

96th floor is Tremor Floor. As to ridicule the one that managed to come this far, a fiendish earthquake will befall you. Feel the wrath of the dragon!

And so the super hard terrain floors have been created.

The dragons could use the aura that Veldora released as food, so they could live here with no problem .

There's no need to tamper with these floors. Just let the dragons that Milim tamed make a nest here and it'll be fine.

Next, create a safe zone every 10 floors.

Well, there's a boss room before each, so they could only access it after they defeated the boss.

There, they would be able to purchase magic stones, sell drops, and buy potions at very high prices.

Building a tavern or a restaurant might be a good idea, but wouldn't they just exit the dungeon if they wanted a break?

Well, I'll decide on that as things go.

The first floor difficulties is for testing only. So any beginner could finish it.

The roads are wide, so getting lost is unlikely.

Nevertheless, 250m in width is considerable. It's going to be a floor that makes you walk a lot without any result/income.

From then on, starting with the 2nd floor it's not that easy.

It's time for the traps.

Even though I say it won't be easy, in reality there isn't a single brutal trap up until the tenth floor, so I'm sure they'll proceed without any major difficulties.

Immediately facing a death trap would dissuade people from continuing, so it's out of the question.

In this manner, while arguing about this and that, the four of us proceeded to arrange every floor.

And thus, after three days, we are almost done fine-tuning it.

We nod to each other with smiles on our faces, leaving the dungeon with a feeling of accomplishment.

※Needless to say, the dungeon is filled with monster by the next time we went there.

Milim went out to tame the dragons.

I don't particularly mind the monsters getting destroyed, but that's a no-no for the dragons.

We assigned all the tamed dragons as Ramiris' subordinates.

Get this, inside Ramiris' 『Dungeon Creation』her subordinates are immortal.

If Ramiris got killed, she'll disappear, but the subordinates could respawn at the recorded spot.

This is the reason why she wanted Beretta so much.

Even if Ramiris doesn't have any power, inside the dungeon, Ramiris troops are undefeatable.

For Ramiris who doesn't have any subordinates, it just a meaningless invincible skill.

Beretta himself serves us tea without any complaint busily fulfills a maid's function.

Since it seems that Beretta consents, working for Ramiris might not be so bad.

「With this, I finally gain real subordinates…..!」

Said Ramiris clearly emotional.

She might be really lonely. So while looking at Beretta,

「Oi, Beretta. Do you want to be Ramiris permanent servant?」

I ask Beretta.

I've been thinking of this for a while. If Beretta wants it, I'll let him change it's loyalty.

If Beretta didn't want to, I'll prepare new subordinate for Ramiris.

Beretta answered,

「Is it all right? Then I'll swear my allegiance to Ramiris-sama, as her servant」

He said without any hesitation.

Isn't it good, Ramiris. You're unexpectedly loved.

I nodded,

「Fine. Well, then Beretta. From now on, you shall work under Ramiris!」

I declared, lifting the master lock and transferring it to Ramiris.

Who's of course clearly dumbfounded by what has just occurred.

「Ay! Thank you very much for everything up until now. I won't forget the favour of letting me be born into this world」

「Don't worry about me. From now on, work hard and protect Ramiris」

「Ay! Even at the cost of my life!」

Let's believe him. If it's Beretta, I don't have to worry.

The transfer concluded without any problem. From now on, I'll only be the sub-master.

As long as nothing happens to Ramiris, Beretta will only listen to Ramiris command.

Ramiris who finally managed to understand the situation pranced around in delight.

She might be really delighted.

But, it's fine.

Controlling the dragons inside the dungeon all by herself might be too difficult.

So if Beretta is there when she needs him, there will be no problem.

It also seems like Beretta doesn't want to hand over the position as the first servant since Beretta has been serving her for a while.

Veldora and I start to get fed up while look at the prancing Ramiris.

Being a formal master-servant relationship, Beretta became an immortal inside this dungeon.

Servant can only revive at a previously set location, but there are no revival limits.

With a sufficient number of troops, Ramiris' ability is terrifying.

And it's because she's the owner, that this ability has yet to see the light of day.

I'm not going to tell her, but depending on it's use it could easily sway any battle.

Even now, having Beretta with unlimited rebirths is too overpowered.

Now, we're also adding Milim's dragons.

There's a chance that this kid will soon have an unbelievably potent power in her hands.

But, it's Ramiris after all. There won't be any problem.

This lovable fairy is just a small lonely kid.

The revival item called bracelet of revival is also recognized by Ramiris, so anyone who wears it will not die.

But, it'll have no effect outside this dungeon.

If this thing isn't explained completely, there's a possibilities of misunderstandings.

And then while confirming various things, the dungeon is getting shaped steadily.

「What's this airtight room for? is this also a trap?」

To that question,

「If you suddenly enter into a room without air, you'll fall from not being able to breath. At worst–die.

You have to be careful in front of any room. This is an ironclad rule.

Examine the poison inside the room, measure the concentration of air. If you can't do at least this much, you won't be able to last long.

At worst, you have to use wind magic for ventilation」

I answered, seems like she didn't understand.

「Well, I know that this is an atrocious trap.

You…. I've been thinking this for a while, but you're a terrifying guy.

But, reliable. I wouldn't have been able to think of this kind of trap all by myself….」

Ramiris said while looking at the traps with admiration.

So that's what she thinks of me. Well, I liked games in my previous world, so it's a trap that I've gotten used to.

If you tell me to clear it in real life, though, I beg to differ.

There's almost no one unaffected by poison and having no need to breathe like us.

I think it's going to be a brutal dungeon.

The completed masterpiece can hardly be described with only "brutal".

(Well, if you add monster to those kinds of vicious traps, of course it's going to be fiendish)

I feel like I heard a voice, but it's probably just my imagination.

However, I bet I'll hear it again soon enough.

After finishing the creation of the dungeon, I return to city.

Veldora and Ramiris will probably happily finish the rest by themselves.

They were very interested in watching me set up the traps..

They also asked to allow them to set one up, but I refused–primarily due to wanting to avoid a sick joke before the tenth floor.

Otherwise the customer (adventurers) will have their hearts or minds broken and will be unable to proceed.

However, I did decide to leave the rest to them on the condition that the floor must be passable.

95th and 94th floors will probably end up being nonsensical floors, but it's ok.

91st to 93rd floors are untouched. Milim might want to do one, so we'll set it up later.

And so, I leave the rest to them. It's good to see them enjoy themselves this much.

By the time I got back to the city, Myormiles had arrived.

He must have prepared himself with a great haste. His arrival is way faster then what I had planned.

I led him to the mansion I've prepared beforehand and leave the rest to Rigurdo.

I say my thanks to Myormiles and briefed him on the new happenings.

I explained the location of the arena and the plans for building a tavern town there.

I also told him about the plan to attract adventurer with the newly built dungeon.

Rigurdo and Myormiles were shocked to hear that and it turned into quite a discussion.

Rigurdo wanted to discuss the type of people who will come here from now on.

Myormiles discussed the opening of the arena and the dungeon.

After listening to their opinions, we proceeded to discuss the necessary resources.

They quickly became good friends.

I told Rigurdo to treat Myormiles as the official leader of the business division.

I also told him that Myormiles will get a second post as the leader of publicizing.

Rigurdo nodded, and contacted the individuals that would benefit said divisions.

Thus preparation continue.

Myormiles was accepted as the resident of Tempest easily.

I only introduced him and let the other introduce themselves.

The flow was so smooth it left me surprised.

Anyways, after seeing Myormiles' work ethic, they can't have any complaints left.

Myormiles evinced that he's able to grasp the abilities of the subordinates that were assigned to him.

And, including his entourage, he assigned jobs to each member individually.

Seeing a hierarchy completed in a blink of an eye is rather refreshing.

Myormiles is really lively for being responsible for two divisions.

Now, as for the invitations to various leaders and figureheads.

Excluding the person I personally know, we send the invitation under Myormiles' name.

Influential nobles and wealthy merchant of each town.

His progress is so quick that you'd think he had been doing this his whole life.

We also drafted up procedure and costs for the upcoming events.

Not just the planning and management, but things are producing smoothly on all fronts.

Looks like I chose the right person.

Perhaps out of all the ideas I've thus implemented, choosing Myormiles was the best.

If he were not here, the possibility of things going awry is high.

With just our power, we couldn't have performed this well.

I'm really fortunate to be able to meet good people.

Myormiles also feel charmed by the food, environment, and comfort of this town.

「Impossible…. This is impossible! It's even more comfortable compared to the royal capital!」

He kept saying until it basically became his catchphrase.

I'm glad that he liked it.

Then again, Myormiles reaction is the primary evidence that everything will be fine.

And Myormiles himself knows it.

「Rimuru-sama, there's no way this plan is going to fail.

With everything as it is, anyone could make it succeed!」

Myormiles said. filled with excitement.

I think anyone is a bit too much, but I'm happy to hear him say that.

And as the preparations progress, unfamiliar people start coming to the town.

I feel a heated season approaching.

And it is nigh upon us!
