That Time I Got Reincarnated as an Underground Labyrinth Manager Chapter 51: The Dwarf King Comes to Visit (BONUS)

"The war is over, and the remaining 100,000 orcs aren't rampaging."

"Instead, they've scattered everywhere."

"And they've all evolved into High orc."

"Not only that, these monsters are constructing large-scale towns."

The Knight Commander swallowed nervously.

"H-How… how is this even possible…"

"All 100,000 High orc evolved?"

"You've got to be kidding…"

The Military Commander clenched his fists.

"Over 100,000 High orc could crush a small country."

"Being able to control so many monsters and even evolve them…"

"The real problem is the one behind all this!"

The Dwarf King opened his eyes.

A certain sli ca to mind.

This had to be his doing.

Just what is he planning?

If this isn't handled right, our whole country might collapse…

In that case, we'll need to verify it with our own eyes.

The Dwarf King stood up.

"I'll go et him myself."

"I want to see this sli's true nature with my own eyes!"

——————–

anwhile, in town

"Achoo~!"

"Yada… Who's talking about behind my back…"

Splash…

Rimuru lted back into sli form and plopped into the hot spring.

"Ahh, relaxing~"

Next to him, Chishiya was also enjoying the bath.

It had been ten days since Milim showed up.

In that ti, Chishiya nad both the orcs and the lizardn.

Then assigned them their roles.

The orcs were led by their forr commander in capes.

In line with the ani, Chishiya gave him the sa na as his father—Geld.

The evolved High orc focused on infrastructure, like roads and housing. They'd beco a reliable labor force.

The lizardn evolved into dragonn.

Led by Gabiru, they handled dicinal herb farming and aquatic fisheries.

"Chishiya-san, I didn't expect you were also from another world."

Over the past few days, Rimuru had learned his secret.

And that Chishiya intended to build a comrcial city here.

Chishiya didn't bother hiding it.

After all, reincarnators from other worlds were a di a dozen here.

Chishiya closed his eyes, basking in the rare mont of peace.

The High orc were frighteningly efficient.

In just ten days, the central zone of town was nearly complete.

Even this hot spring center had been built by the High orc.

Though the hot spring itself had been sourced thanks to Aqua.

The division of labor in the town now resembled the ani layout.

Kaijin and Kurobe were in charge of forging weapons.

The two hit it off instantly and beca drinking buddies.

The three dwarf brothers handled armor production.

The eldest, Garm, took charge of armor.

Dord, the second, specialized in crafting.

The youngest, Myrd, focused on architecture and art.

They even taught the villagers new skills, and overall, Chishiya had been living the CEO dream lately.

These peaceful monts were rare.

"But still, it might be ti to consider alliances with other forces," he murmured.

Just then—

"Chishiya-san," Rimuru said. "Co to think of it, the town doesn't have a na yet."

"It's going to be a comrcial hub. It's inconvenient without a na."

After learning Chishiya was also an otherworlder, Rimuru had relaxed a lot.

Ever since Shizu passed away, he hadn't expected to et another kindred soul so soon.

That was why he felt oddly familiar around Chishiya.

He even revealed that he was a reincarnator too.

His dream? A nation where humans and monsters lived in harmony.

Coincidentally, Chishiya had the sa idea, just replace "nation" with "enterprise."

"Yeah… guess it should have a na," Chishiya said, rubbing his chin.

"How about… Labyrinth Comrcial City?"

Rimuru floated in the hot spring, blowing bubbles.

"Sounds good!"

...

"Milim-sama! You can't swim in the hot spring!"

Suddenly—

Shuna's voice echoed from the won's side.

"Wahahahaha!"

"This is aweso~!"

Milim's laughter rang out.

Shion: "Wow! Darkness-san, you've got such a great figure!"

Darkness flushed.

"R-Really?!"

Shion nodded eagerly, her eyes sparkling.

"What a powerful body! Especially those abs… Uh…!"

Darkness quickly covered her mouth.

"Ahahaha, Shion-san, you're embarrassing … Co on, let's bathe…"

Shuna massaged her temple.

"You too, gumin. Stop encouraging Milim-sama."

"Hehe~"

gumin stood wrapped in a towel, one hand on her forehead, crimson eyes glowing.

"I am gumin, the great Arch Wizard who wiped out an orc army in a single blast! I'll be the next Demon Lord!"

She then turned to Milim with stars in her eyes.

"Well? Well? How was my intro, Milim-chan?!"

"Oh my gosh! It was amazing!!"

Milim clapped her hands excitedly, her eyes shining.

For so reason, she and gumin got along scarily well.

Besides Chishiya, gumin was the only one in town who called her "Milim-chan" directly.

anwhile, in the n's bath.

Chishiya and Rimuru exchanged glances.

Without a word, both sunk deeper into the water.

Ti to soak away the stress…

...….

But before long—

Souei's voice ca through.

"Chishiya-sama, urgent report. Hundreds of pegasi are approaching the town."

On the other side—

Milim noticed sothing too.

She looked up toward the sky.

Ding ding ding!!!

The town's ergency alarms rang out sharply.

Shion stood up at once.

"We've got a powerful enemy incoming!!!"

————————

Above the city—

The Dwarf King led his Pegasus Knights across the sky.

"So this is the town built by those monsters?"

The Knight Commander stared down in disbelief.

What lay below was far more beautiful than anything he'd imagined.

ticulously organized buildings.

Neatly aligned housing blocks.

Even the streets were lined with ornantal trees.

It was hard to believe monsters had built sothing like this.

"My king… is this the work of the sli you spoke of?"

The Dwarf King didn't answer.

But he already knew.

The only one who could command such a diverse group of monsters… had to be him.

Just as expected.

As they descended onto the town square—

Kaijin stepped forward.

"Long ti no see… King."

He knelt down.

"Long ti no see, Kaijin." The Dwarf King's voice was deep and steady.
