Side: Seraria
(King Galtz)Seraria-dono, Lulu-dono, I am very grateful for the information youve given . With this, our secret conversation is complete. Shall we move on to the King of Rochelle for a bit?
With this, the King of Galtz tries to conclude the case.
(Seraria)Ara, slow down for a mont please. Like i said, this is an opportunity for us. Is it alright if we stay on topic for a while longer?
(King Galtz)Mu? Theres more?
(Seraria)Yes, thats right. Everything up until now was intended as a lead-in. From now on, we would like to discuss the future.
(King Galtz)The future?
(Seraria)Yes, you should understand how important this is, if you hear us out and seriously consider it. Then, what would you like to do? Would you like to take a break first? Because I think this will be a lengthy story.
I say that and look at the people from Galtz.
Perhaps theyll have a series of surprises.
Though we have prepared, so they have eaten But I think that it will be better if we take a short break in between anyways.
(King Galtz)Fumu, its after a al. I dont mind continuing as is, but what about everyone else?
(Teak or Sharl)Is that okay Father? Shouldnt we ask if we can officially hear their story?
(Seraria)Its honestly best we keep this unofficial, for many reasons. For us, because we havent prepared enough to move full-scale in other countries yet, and because you need to take your ti examining the feasibility. You will also need ti to prepare various things on your side.
(Teak)I can agree to that reasoning. Then I wont stop you.
(Sharl)Theres no problem on my end either.
(Lowell)Well, Id like to chat with Serarias party, while peacefully drinking so tea. Does anyone else want a cup while Im at it?
(Higil)Nee-san. Watch your speech a bit more Shes a Princess from the alliance, moreover shes not the only one here.
Fumu, Id like this to be a leisurely chat.
If any problems crop up, it would be nice to have so breathing room.
(King Galtz)Everyone seems to be okay. Seraria-dono, can you carry on with the main topic?
(Seraria)Yes, I understand
Well, I wonder how in-depth the explanations will end up being.
Itll be troubleso for if they ask too many questions though.
But since Im officially in charge of the Dungeon and all its actions, itd be inappropriate for my husband to join the fray.
Even if my husband has to explain things, theres no other choice than to try to fake the explanation, sohow.
(Seraria)Okay, then straight to the point. I want to open trade between my territory and Galtz.
(King Galtz) Thats normal. No, although its ordinary, its too pretentious2), why are you asking this?
(Seraria)I agree, but ti is of the essence. Do you understand the aning behind Ruling a Dungeon?
(King Galtz)Doesnt it an that you have captured the Dungeon?
(Seraria)No, Herge succeeded in controlling the Dungeon and I inherited those rights. In other words, I can freely manufacture things with the Dungeon. For example, I can summon monsters.
(King Galtz) Isnt that a huge achievent? But, isnt there extre danger?
(Seraria)Everybody here has confird the level of control I have already.
(King Galtz)Really?
Fufu, you wont notice unless I tell you.
As one would expect of a doppelganger?
(Seraria)Everyone who ca to Galtz this ti, including those whom you would recognize, Shera and Kirue, are controlling doppelganger monsters. In other words, we are all fakes. Well, its genuinely us controlling these fake bodies though. Remote controlled bodies if you will.
What!?
The people of Galtz are surprised once again. Their eyes are flashing from white to black.
(King Galtz) No matter how I look at you though, youre definitely the real thing
(Higil)I heard that doppelgangers only imitate the figure of soone and if soone knows that person well, he would be able to perceive the monsters true identity imdiately..
(Seraria)Yes, thats true. However, the reason a difference can be perceived is because the behaviour and level of the original cant be copied. In other words, currently before you stands a monster with a human soul, since we are controlling the monsters body, theres no difference, besides strength from the original. Its for our safety, since like this our bodies do not need to leave the Dungeon for dangerous trips.
(Higil)).. I see, doppelganger bodies can be borrowed when a VIP needs to go sowhere?
(Seraria)After I received control of the Dungeon, I learned the true nature of the doppelgangers, so I thought to use them like this.
(Higil)With doppelgangers, theres no need to escort VIPs. Its similar to a body double, but superior. This is wonderful.
Higil obediently praised the doppel.
(Seraria)Do you understand now? Though we are monsters, we wont harm you. If you still have doubts Should I call a blood minotaur?
(Higil)Wa-wait!! If you call such a monster, itd cause an uproar!! I believe you control the Dungeon!!
As Higil says this in a panic, the others nod.
(Seraria)Thank you very much. But, this is only the beginning.
(Higil)Th-thats just the beginning..
(Seraria)Yes, like I said in the beginning, trade is our goal. Well, I should show you our rchandise first, shouldnt I? Do you mind Lutz?
Lutz looks at and nods.
(Seraria)This is Lutz, comrcial representative of the Dungeon. Also, allow introduce Naruja, the blacksmith representative and the head of the fairy tribe.
(Higil)Fai-fairy tribe? Where is this person?
(Seraria)Naruja, please.
(Naruja)Yeah, yeah. I thought you might have forgotten about .
Huh! ?
Galtzs group must think that Naruja just suddenly appeared, but shes been hiding herself with invisibility magic this whole ti.
Of course, shes been together with us inside the room the entire ti.
(Naruja)Hey, baka3)!! You made use special magic for such a mundane thing!
(Seraria)Well, its a difficult exercise but.
Naruja waves her hand and a number of fireballs appear.
(Naruja)Theres not much problem as long as its doing it. Oh, please rest assured. Because most cant use it so nonchalantly4).
After declaring that she extinguishes the fireballs.
(Naruja)Then, once again. I serve as the representative of the Dungeons blacksmiths. The elder of the fairy tribe, Naruja is my na.
(Higil)Oh, ah. It certainly looks like the real thing..
(Naruja)Yes, this is the true , body and all. Thats why Ive been hiding until now. We hope this will help to prove that we dont have any hostility.
Fufu. As planned, we could prove that we did co in person and that we an no harm.
We can be confident in the fairy tribe in the event of an attack so theres no real danger to her, and if we had truly ant harm by coming here, itd go against the rules of the fairy tribe.
(Lutz) Ano~. I was suddenly ignored because of Naruja I am the comrcial representative of the Dungeon. My na is Lutz. I am also one of Yuki-sans concubines.
(King Galtz)Wow! Yuki-dono also has a rabbit girl as his wife!!5)
Why are you speaking so delightfully to my husband I wonder?
Speaking of which, Shera is also a rabbit girl.
(Yuki)Ah, yes. She is a good wife.
(King Galtz)Umu umu, Seraria-dono, Lulu-dono and Shera, I thought there was only these three, but there are other concubines as a side dish. Youre still inferior to but its a point worthy of note. I want to deliver effective dicine for the night to you. You might even match up with if you had at least 4 or 5 more
(Sharl) Otou-sama. Thats a little dirty.
(Teak) Oh father. We are in the middle of an important conversation. Please restrain yourself.
That father had his brakes pulled by his daughter and son.
But should I get this dicine?
Because it seems interesting to make it more intense/extre6).
(Lutz)Eto, First of all, I would like to introduce so of the many goods that we can trade, so we have brought so samples with us for this visit. This way for the demonstration please.
As Lutz says that, she picks out the items we selected from the item box and started explaining.
Naruja joined in with introducing the various weapons made by the fairies.
(King Galtz)Ho ho. This is called whiskey. Its strong but delicious!!
(Higil)Thats right. However this sword that Naruja-dono brought . Is it the sa as Seraria-donos? Its got a good edge and has enchantnts.
(Lowell)Seraria, youre brilliant!! This armor is great!! It barely reduces flexibility in any way!!
(Sharl)Ara, delicious. Was it Chou la cr?7)By all ans, I would love it if you could raise this to the top of the priorities list regarding trading items.
(Higil)Wait, whats with this parchnt8)!? And this pen, was it!? I can write without ink!? No, the ink must be inside this. But, how
Apparently, it seems that they have accepted the majority of the goods instantly.
(King Galtz)Fumu, this isnt a big deal. Theres no real reason to refuse the trade.
(Sharl)Otou-sama, you have to wait. We havent discussed anything regarding prices just yet. Seraria-samas party, what was it that you said you wanted to buy from our country?
(Higil)I agree. Theres also our current market to consider. Even though this is convenient, if its just dumped on the market en-masse, the market for other things would collapse. We need to be prudent.
(Teak) Thats right. According to how we all reacted, I too feel that kind of state would not be outside the realm of reason. From our side. What we recomnd is wheat. There are other things too, but I cant think of anything else which can be easily traded right now.
(King Galtz)Thats right. Do you want to purchase so wheat as the first successful trade?
(Seraria)Yes, with pleasure. Its best this way, this trade isnt only for profit. Since wheat is also a material for the chou la cr that Sharl-likes, why dont we teach you the recipe and develop a unique chou la cr together?
(Sharl) Thats a splendid idea. Ill get so parchnt.
(Lutz)In that case, please use this paper.
Lutz hands them a large quantity of paper.
(Teak) Eldest sister, please leave the writing to !! Ive not properly tested the ballpoint pen yet.
(Sharl)Then, if you please.
After that, this eting went Ooh and Ah for a while..
The eting is mainly between Lutz, Naruja, Teak, Sharl, Higil and myself.
Others inspected what we brought and played around a bit9).
Seriously.
(Higil)But, this is a trade product. If you lose these to thieves or disasters en-route, it would be tragic.
(Teak)I agree. If these items prove themselves, thieves will surely set their sights on them.
(Lowell) Wed need to strengthen the security between Rochelle and Galtz to counter that
(Teak)But, that wont completely prevent it..
(Sharl) Onii-sama. It cant be helped, but we would first need to purchase them and prove the products first.
(Teak)Well, you only have to be able to make up for so losses, simply increase the sales price..
(Sharl)Thats right. The value will go down10)and prices will unjustly go up, but thats sothing we cant do anything about.
The three people said so and as a result, have difficult faces.
Their pain is my gain though.
(Seraria)There is a way we can solve that problem. Theres a way to transport goods safely, in large quantities, and enable you to sell things to the people at a low price.
(Sharl)Is that the truth!!
(Seraria)Yes, I will borrow the power of the Dungeon Is that ok?
(Teak).. I see, using the Dungeon is a dangerous thing. However if that truly becos possible, then it would be worth thoroughly testing things in the long run. Father, what do you think?
(King Galtz)I think that this should be very carefully pursued, however I think we should assu a state of wait-and-see for the ti being.
(Teak)I agree. For the ti being, are you okay if we use these for a while. We would like to test these products and send a group to investigate the Dungeon to see if this thod of yours is safe.
(Seraria)It doesnt particularly matter. I think that it is a natural judgnt as a person in charge of a country. However, the specifics of the thod
I say that and hold my breath. The people from Galtz look forward to my answer, as expected I guess.
(Seraria)Can we make a Dungeon in the basent of Galtz? So that one may travel directly to our Dungeon using sothing like a teleportation device we call a gate. Theres already one gate open in Ritea. The adventurer guild already gave us their declaration of safety.
I say that, while forcing my best smile.
