Rewards
[Congratulations on your win, No. 629.]
Once the Dungeon Core had been touched, [Father] spoke.
“Nkyuu!? P-P-Papa!?”
[Oh, you didn’t realize? Kehma-kun, you realized, right?]
“Yeah, sorta.”
The Dungeon Battle caused a stir in the Dungeon Core Assembly. Of course it wouldn’t be strange for [Father] to make an appearance. Ultimately, what decided it was the existence of that VIP seating area.
Who would prepare seating to appreciate watching a Dungeon Battle? For a confrontation between Haku-san’s faction and the Demon King Faction, that would be Haku-san for us like in the three-way Dungeon Battle we had last year, and the Great Demon King behind Core No. 564.
However, there’s a sense of incompatibility between the two of them; it wouldn’t make sense for the two of them to willingly share a room for sothing like this.
“Ooh, nkyuu, that hello kyuu said back when Haku-sama talked with us was for Papa?”
“What, you just realized?”
“Even I noticed though?”
[Oh, then I noticed too.]
Really now? Sure.
[Either way, good job! Ah, No. 666, could I send you back to the Master Room?]
[Yes, please d—o, I’m back, Rokuko.”
“Welco back, Aidi. Good work out there.”
Rokuko and Aidi gave each other a high five.
“ too!”
“Yes yes, here you go~”
Pomf.
Orange tapped Rokuko’s outstretched hand with his paw. So. Cute.
[Ohoh, you three seem to be on pretty good terms.]
“Father, Rokuko is my rivalbest friend, we’re obviously close. Well, I think it’s fine to say Orange is my enemyfriend now too, though.”
“Nkyuu! Please pardon from getting on Aidi’s bad side… oh, but I’m already in Haku-sama’s faction, so being a Demon King Faction Core’s, Aidi’s fr—nkyuu? Enemy? H-How’d that happen?!”
[Hahaha. Right. So, I’m supposed to give a prize to the victors of this competition. By the limits of my authority, Aidi, Orange, I officially recognize your nas.]
Official recognize—the mont he said that, both Aidi and Orange blinked in surprise.
“Thank you, Father. Having a na like Rokuko does makes so happy!”
“Nkyuu! Yay! Having my na recognized by Papa, am I dreaming!?”
Yeah, so I don’t get how that’s supposed to be a reward. They’re happy, though… so I guess it’s fine?
[Fufufu, well, that’s just an extra prize. This Dungeon Battle was considerable amusing to , after all, so I figured I’ll give the victors a proper reward. No. 564’s still unconscious, so let’s talk about the reward ti first.]
“Oh, can I get one of those rewards? If so, I want one of the Godly Beddings I don’t have yet.”
[Oh, as expected of you, Kehma-kun. It’s like you’re ordering .]
“K-K-K-Kehma!? What’re you saying to Father!?!?”
Rokuko started panicking, but is it really sothing to get that flustered about? Isn’t he your Daddy?
[You’ve already got the comforter, right? Maybe I could give a similar reward to Rokuko and make it two? Hmm. You’ve confird where the mattress and pillow are, but don’t have them, is it? Hmm, maybe this could work…]
Two of them!? What a great miscalculation! But why does [Father] know that I’ve already found out where the mattress and pillow are? Did he look into my head? Or maybe I got so kind of title or achievent just for finding their whereabouts? If anything I’d prefer the latter.
[The mattress, pillow, nightcap, blanket, pajamas, alarm clock… oh, err, not the alarm clock. The final one is the underwear, huh. So, which do you want? Go ahead and ask.]
“… That’s a hard choice.”
Crap, having to choose myself is hard! What I want most are in a way the pillow and mattress—the reason being that if you have those two along with the comforter, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that you’ve basically gathered a full set.
Still though, I know that those two are currently possessed by Maidence and the the disappointing elfShikina Kokkoro respectively. In other words, just as [Father] said, I already know where to get them.
In that case, I should make my choice of either the nightcap or the underwear.
“Wh-What would you suggest?”
[Let’s see… The blanket… or the alarm clock, I guess?]
Setting aside the blanket, didn’t you just say that I couldn’t pick the alarm clock?
[It was such a work of art. An item that let you wake up feeling completely refreshed… Haaah… I never would’ve thought that it would be destroyed.]
It was destroyed…? By the Dark God?”
[Why would I have destroyed sothing I made myself? It was obviously the Creation God.]
“Oooh, I see. So that’s it. Right.”
Wait. Just now. Did.. did he just call himself the Dark God? And then sothing about a Creation God?
[Alright, it’s decided! One alarm clock coming right up!]
“Eh?”
[Oh, then you want the underwear instead? It’s all-purpose, either-gender underwear capable of switching between seven styles, including loincloth, boxers, and babydoll modes! Compared to the alarm clock, it’s a seven in one!]
“Err, I an, you just said—”
“Kehma! KEEEEEHMA! Sorry, Father! He’ll take it! And I’ll have the blanket you recomnded, the blanket!”
Rokuko held back as she shouted over . Gununu. Eh, oh well. I don’t really feel like going against [Father] anyway.
[Ya sure? It sounded like Kehma-kun way about to say sothing though?]
“… Oh, nah. I was just wanting to confirm what you were saying, I wasn’t about to object to getting the alarm clock or anything. If anything, you did recomnd sothing.”
[I see, I see! That’s good, hahaha! Alright, now for Aidi and Orange. Maybe I should give a reward to Haku too? I did hear Kehma-kun out, after all. Is there anything you all want?]
“Oh my! Anything is fine?”
“Nkyuu, anything!? Papa’s so aweso~! So cool!”
[I can have sothing too? How tempting…]
With that, Aidi, Orange, and even Haku-san seed happy.
“… Alright, I’d like to be able to talk with Rokuko more easily. Like how we communicated during this Dungeon Battle, but always.”
“I want a Master, nkyuu! A nice guy like Kehma! … Please?”
[I’ll have… — — — —… Thank you.]
I couldn’t hear any of what Haku-san said she wanted, the communication line was suddenly overtaken by what sounded like a sandstorm. She’d probably jamd it intentionally.
[Everyone’s asking for such difficult things… but that makes happy! Alright, leave it to ! Haku’s is good… As for Aidi’s, it might take two or three days, but I’ll incorporate a system for you to exchange ssages in your nus. Oh, Kehma-kun. Could that slave girl there be Orange’s Master?]
“Eh, ?”
“No.”
[Figured. Alright, I’ll figure out a way to guide soone else to Orange’s core. It won’t be soone from another world, of course, but it’ll at least be an excellent adventurer that can support you.]
Everything proceeded quickly. Apparently, Orange wanted a Master. That whole support part worried , though.
[Oh yeah, Kehma-kun. Here’s a freebie.]
Saying that, a pure-white orb appeared in front of —a Dungeon Core.
… Co to think of it, it has been a year, hasn’t it? According to Leona, I shouldn’t suffer the Light God’s corruption if I wait at least that long, I think?
[Oh, I don’t have an orichalcum sword for you this ti, so you’ll have to break it with your own sword.]
Yeah. Did you think I was going to ask?
