Going Well
He was angry about getting a pick when he said he wanted another room. I don’t get it.
If the space is open beforehand, I can save DP though…
Then three days passed without anything happening.
By the way, the bandits were digging a room with the pickaxes while complaining. Though it seems they were throwing the stone and dirt they dug up out of the dungeon, I reclaid it as treasure. Though it wasn’t even 1 DP, I was right in doing that since they seed to like pitching in with the expansion. They’re simple guys.
“Hmm? Did soone approach?”
Rokuko muttered.
“It isn’t a bandit?”
“It feels different. Probably an adventurer. The bandits seem to have noticed too, should we ambush it?”
“Is that so… in all likelihood, it’s adventurers from before coming back to investigate.”
Though it’s abrupt, it’s a good opportunity. Thinking about the bandit extermination plan, I decided to talk to Rokuko.
I talked to her about not doing anything unnecessary.
“Since they purposely ca here to investigate, these guys are definitely more skilled than the adventurers from before. Since it would be pointless if they weren’t more useful than the last ones that didn’t return.”
Even the realized, they couldn’t let them co and see the changes to the [Ordinary Cave]. Therefore, there was no choice but to kill the adventurers.
Then, after killing this adventurer, more and more will co to investigate next ti.
… Of course, the prepared adventurers would be stronger and stronger.
Though I don’t know if it will continue indefinitely, the bandits would be defeated sooner or later.
Right, this was the bandit extermination plan that I had thought out.
Well, my job was to just wait until the point the bandits gave up this spot.
Hmm? You think I’m doing nothing but sleeping? No no, nothing like that.
The bandits occasionally hunt to go get food and give so of the ga they catch to the dungeon. (Though they’re parts like bones and organs that the bandits don’t eat, they’re still DP) And in return, I teach them how to fight effectively in the cave by writing in the box.
Of course the most delicious thing would be for either the adventurers or the bandits to die in the dungeon, their DP is tasty.
… Dammit, I don’t want to wooork…!
However, it’s still fine since the DP tributes from the bandits were easy work.
“Oh… Kehma, that’s amazing! To have thought of sothing like that!”
“Yeah. By the way, that goblin room is actually going to be made into a dummy [Ordinary Cave]. In addition, when the ti cos, move the core there. We’ll feign ignorance and say [Eh? Bandits? My dungeon is unrelated though?].”
“Eeh, so that’s it… I thought you forgot that monsters could only be taken out of the dungeon core when there are intruders for sure.”
Oh, I forgot that.
“The adventurers will arrive soon.”
“Yeah, I can see with so effort.”
*
“Boss, adventurers are coming.”
“Yeah, as expected, let’s ambush ’em.”
“Expected?”
“Yeah, inside the box with the sword was written to defend against attacking adventurers.”
By the way, the bandit’s boss had been studying his letters recently and was able to read simple sentences.
Since the letters(or is it correct to call it a treasure box?) from the dungeon were written with simple sentences. Even the bandit’s boss could read it. [TN: Difference between letter and treasure box is a single kanji. Punny.] Well, it’s reasonable to learn how to read in order to read letters from a dungeon… and the bandit’s boss was proud of his intelligence.
I in particular think making this dungeon their base made them smarter, and they beca conceited.
I wonder if they’ll go back to being fools when they leave the dungeon… probably.
“… That’s right, let’s use the newcors. If they kill ’em well they can enter the top brass.”
“Got it. And us?”
“We’ll tidy up the fatigued adventurers after the newcors fail. It’s fine if it goes smoothly.”
In fact, many of their strategies ca from the dungeon.
Using the newcors, crushing the unusable ones early. This was one of the strategies taught by the dungeon.
Enduring wind and rain, they use their base to amass money. That is the status of the bandits.
Though it would naturally be dangerous if their base was exposed, there would be no danger if they killed the people that ca one by one… was written in the letter from the dungeon, but the bandit’s boss probably ca up with that as well.
Entering from the entrance to the dungeon, there is a blind spot in the corner of the room… well, since it was small the most that could be jamd in there was seven or eight people altogether. The newcors waited there.
The non-newcor bandits waited in the additional rooms to the left and right of the passage. They could give supporting attacks at any ti.
“Huh? Wasn’t the dungeon core right here?”
Those words were the last for one of the three adventurers.
A newcor brandished his sword towards the defenseless adventurer that appeared and rushed at him.
“Eat this!”
He struck his defenseless neck with the blunt rusted sword, killing him by breaking the bones in his neck.
You did it newcor, are you a delinquent or sothing? You recklessly tried to look cool and were noisy.
Though you were told to be silent until you attack, were you fussy about being a delinquent as you tried to kill soone for the first ti? But the adventurer was killed in the first attack. You could call the result good luck.
“E, eeeeh-! With this I’m in the top brass!”
“Bennis!? Tch, bandits!? [Slash]!”
“Eh? Gobeh-”
The adventurer… the swordsman’s counterattack cut halfway through the newcor’s neck. As you’d expect, it’s at the level where he won’t survive if he doesn’t receive high-class recovery magic right now–in other words, there’s no saving him. That sharp sword must be taken care off well… no, that swordsn is skilled and at any rate used a skill. The delinquent crumbled with a thud.
Though none of the blockheads watched the body quietly finish falling down, the adventurers reacted faster than the bandit newcors.
“Shit, he has a skill! Press on, use numbers…! –Gubo-”
An adventurer pierced the back of his leather armor with an arrow. The newcor quickly died after his chest was pierced. Probably because the adventurer didn’t think he’d die in a single blow, another arrow pierced through his head. High power quick shots. High accuracy, too. Does the rearguard adventurer use an offensive bow skill? But the solution for that is to draw close to make archers powerless. They didn’t shift around to take positions in the passage, I wonder if they’re not accustod to combat? They won’t run away without their comrades, I think.
From there it was a stomp. Though they were missing a person, they had good cooperation. The adventurers seem to be more skilled than the newcors. That much was obvious when they used skills, but they couldn’t win against the numbers. The swordsman was surrounded, and the archer approached the dead shield’s body, collapsing.
Concerning the result of the newcors trying to look cool, in exchange for five people, the three adventurers were dealt with.
The newcors finished off the surviving adventurers… well, two of the three were killed, but one didn’t survive. Fortunately a newcor that was a forr rcenary killed an adventurer and was added to the top brass as promised.
“Since adding more newcors from here on will be a headache… it would be good to have a diator.
A surviving rcenary and an escaped slave huh… the delinquents are useless…
… Now then, can we get more rooms with this? Pleeease, my lovely Dungeon-chan!”
Then, a box ca out.
The contents written were [Good work! Since I’m going to add more rooms, please go outside].
Fortunately, food filled the box. The bandit’s boss even saw sothing he’d never seen before, sweet slling bread was inside. It slls like the luxury fruit known as a lon… coincidentally, the boss was able to get a whiff of it once before. Enthralled by that alone–well, let’s not talk about it.
About the bread, when the new top brass were given a taste as a reward, they began eating it with amazing montum, saying [This is the first ti I’ve eaten such a sweet and delicious bread! I promise my loyalty to boss from now on!] Towards their expressions that were more serious than when they joined the group, he couldn’t help but giving a wry smile.

The adventurers seem to have been more stupid than I thought.
If they were careful with their scouting, they could have prevented the bandit’s surprise attack.
Or maybe they underestimated the [Ordinary Cave] after all? They may have thought it was no problem even if they were ambushed by sothing on the level of goblins.
They probably didn’t think that the danger increased much while they traveled here?
… The rookies may have been caught in an accident, they probably thought that.
In any case, they should have been more caution when they rookies didn’t return. It was bad for them to neglect that.
“Yay, it’s delicious! Those bandits saw sothing good. The dungeon core hasn’t even been stepped on recently.”
“They’re the culprits though.”
Whatever, we got 1900 this ti, so there’s 2951 DP now… Roughly five bandits for 1000, and 900 for the three adventurers huh. The we lost the steady inco from the five, it was a good return.
“… Should we add more rooms as requested then? Since they did their best extending from the room on the left, I’ll add one facing the inside to each side. It might be good to make one a jail… oh right, food service.
“h lun bred? What’s this? Sothing like that’s on the DP nu?”
“Want so?”
I got [Assorted Sweet Buns (15 DP)] [Assorted Bread Dishes (15 DP)] [Vegetable/Dried at Set (15 DP)] and a [Box (5 DP)] to put it in, sending it out to the bandits with a ssage to enter the dungeon.
Because I used 630 DP to add more rooms, there was 2271 DP remaining.
… Still a long way to go for 10000 DP.
