Day 50 Afternoon, Dungeon

Putting my hand to the wall I firmly press on it. This is the last hidden room.

Eehm? And inside the room was~? Oooh!Three volumes sold at the same time!Study on Martial Arts ,Study on Titles , andStudy on Magic ?This series, despite being supposedly a study, has none of my skills at all? Ostracization? Can I take these?~

(Jiggle Jiggle!)

Looks like its alright for me to take them.

He is having a conversation with the dungeon master!? Or rather, it took a liking to him!

But its kind of adorable? Even though it was so strong?

I flip all three books, skimming through the contents. Nothing, huh, as expected.

None of the nonsense magic like Temperature,Movement,Weight, orPacking. Not even Wood MagicorVibration Magic. So naturally, there cant be Teleportation, Gravity, orHolding.

Of course, no such titles as Hikikomori,NEET, orLonertoo. Yeah, I knew there definitely wont be anything like that! I was absolutely convinced of that!

And noCane Artsamong the list of Martial Arts? Vice Pres B-san, did you hear that? Apparently, no such skill exists?. So no Path of the Stafftoo.

And withoutMana Wrappingthere cant beMagic Wrapping.

Well, Kyoujitsuis an original skill, so I expected that I wont find it here, but turns out, the very concept of originals doesnt exist.

On top of that, evenUncanny Dodge,Instantaneous Movement,Fluidity,Djutsuare legend-tier?What about the legendary Sword God and Swordmaster? No, an owner ofSword Godis nodding right next to me? They do exist?

As forUnknown, there wasnt even a book, soReportInformConsult,Jack of All Trades,Muppetremain a mystery.

Aaah~. Useless books? Or rather, maybe the skills are so useless that they dont exist in this world?

Well, I was certain there wont be any of my titles, so that is fine. After all, this world doesnt even have such words as Hikikomori or NEET! And yet the meaning is somehow properly conveyed? I wonder how they get translated into the language of this world? I dont want to actually know that though.

(Jiggle Jiggle~)

Unn~? Dungeon Master-san, that jiggling, are you trying to comfort me? And then there is the ex-Dungeon Emperor patting me on the back? Thats a very grand consolation line-up? Are you sort of telling me to cheer up? Kind of? I guess?

Indeed, the world strongest consolation line-up! A complete waste of the strongest!

I doubt that further search will reveal any more books, so I have no more business with this place, and I dont want to kill the dungeon master. It got kind of attached to me and is hella cute? There is no way I can fight it now? Eating to the fullest it doesnt seem to be angry anymore. Was it trying to eat us earlier? Well, its cute, so whatever.

In the end, it was simply lonely, just like Dungeon Emperor-san. Hungry, it kept waiting on the lowest floor without anyone ever coming.

Hey, wanna join us? Kind of?

(Jiggle Jiggle~!)

Oh~, its dancing, so cute! Does it mean its happy? The jiggling seems to be of a joyful kind, I think?

E~rhm,Status, ah, it got tamed. Like, really? Sort of?

We thought youd do this!

So cute. Its dancing a jiggly dance. Is it a happy dance after all? If we take it with us it probably will get along just nicely with the Poster Girl. Mystery Dance Friends?

First, lets get it outside under the light of the sun, and then feed it a lot of tasty food. Then, with everyone at the inn it surely wont feel lonely anymore.

It seems to be pleased with the idea, so that should be the right thing to do.

Then, lets go back? We still have two lots left, right? Lets roll?

Dont say it as if dungeons are real estate property~, Im not entirely sure anymore if we are subjugating dungeons or hunting for a home!

Bu~t? Going through two more properties today might be tough~? Its quite~ ha~rd~?

Not you too!

Yeah, since this is not a bookstore dungeon, I might as well remove it from the list for potential remodeling. The location isnt great and the room layout lacks appeal. Its more like an ant nest? After all, its hard to find a dungeon with a superb room arrangement like that of the great dungeon. The location was nice, and it also had a good feel to it, but the great dungeon was plainly too spacious. And also deep. A 100 floor house is not the level of a private residence.

Armored Pres-san over here was tamed before you, so that makes her your senior, plus she is a former dungeon emperor, so she is your former superior as well, listen to what she says, alright? Kind of, I guess?

(Jiggle)

Alright, it seems. Looks like we have a proper hierarchy established. Is it trying to do a salute? Maybe they are acquaintances? Since she is its former superior? Did they have regular meetings? Assemblies? Since they are both former, is this an ex-colleagues reunion?

Id like to say How could you tame a Dungeon Master and take it home!, but there is already the dungeon emperor casually walking around? Is this actually normal?

While complaining, everyone is enthusiastically feeding bread and sweets to Slime-san, who turned into a former dungeon master. Jiggling, it seems happy and friendly. Looks like cute is justice after all.

And the girls resumed their fashion talk. Each of them presented their own theory, and upon debating them

Okay! Additional orders it is!

No objection!

Apparently, no one is going to listen to my objections, so I go home alone with Slime-san. Nnn~, this is so soothing.

Such solace is necessary for this rough world! After all, the talk that is going to make this world even rougher for me is about to reach its climax? Why is no one raising any objections? Can it be called a discussion if everything is decided unanimously? Are they even trying to deliberate on their decisions? All agendas are just blazing through?

I have to complete a magic-powered spinning machine, a magic-powered weaving machine, and a magic-powered sewing machine as fast as possible. Otherwise, my life span will be at risk!

Since the Athletic Girls have already cleared the dungeon up to the 49th floor, we return to the 1st floor by taking the 49th floors portal. If we didnt search for the hidden rooms we couldve ended this instantly, but checking every floor eats a lot of time, moreover, this dungeon had a hidden room on every fifth floor, so it took even longer. The next one shouldnt take as long, but doing both remaining properties today is impossible.

And thus we returned to the surface. Slime-san is jiggling happily too.

The next one is the dungeon that board members were clearing? Is it close? Is it a good one? How close it is to the nearest town? Are there any other selling points, like a rough sketch for visuals?

Dungeons are not real estate and they arent for sale! Dungeons and mansions are two very different things!

No selling points it seems. I shouldnt get my hopes up.

But its pretty close to the town? It might be a bit too close to the Evil Forest though.

I confirmMapwith Rajingan. Aah, there, huh. Near the village destroyed by the monster stampede. There were two, right beside the Evil Forest, that came under attack by the monsters before I killed the orc king and the crowd following it.

The villages I couldnt save. The villages with people that I couldnt save.

Thats why there are no selling points anymore. They were all destroyed. The villages, that were destroyed because no one noticed that orcs, that shouldve been in the forests depths, were near the edge of the forest. The villages that were destroyed because I, the only one who knew that orcs were on the outskirts of the forest, failed to realize that it was the sign of the upcoming stampede. There seem to be characters weirdly praising me to the sky, but I failed to save those people. Speaking of villages, two have perished? And then 13 of my classmates? One was killed by me, and I did nothing to save 12 others. Thats some rescue. Im not good at all.

Thats why no one mentions those villagers to me, thats why they are leading me there through a detour, going an extra mile to avoid the sites of those villages.

I was the only one who had keys to saving them, and yet I was too busy killing my own classmate at the time. Thats why the villages were destroyed, and lots of people died. See, no good at all? Im not saving anyone at all. Hearing that I saved the town or the frontier is nothing but embarrassing, after all, I didnt save anyone? How can I accept their gratitude after allowing two entire villages to disappear?

The results of my decisions left twelve of my classmates and countless people and those two villages to their deaths. By now raising walls around some village, exterminating monsters of the Evil Forest, or deforesting it, changes nothing. There is no saving the already destroyed villages and people that lived there. No matter what I do now, there is nothing to be thanked for. No matter what I do, the dead wont give me their forgiveness. Unforgiven should be an object of scorn and disdain, yet no one says anything to me. Because the dead cant speak for themselves.

Slime-san is jiggling very hard on top of my head, almost as if it is trying to pat it. Its probably trying to comfort me.
