Chapter 153 (1/2)

Father

The dungeon cores all looked at the man that was displayed on the monitor at the same time Naturally, this included Rokuko as well

“Tou-sama… it’s been two years since I’ve paid my respects to your countenance”

Other than [Father] and [Tou-sa] and [God] The man had black hair and dark skin and rapped in a deep blue vesth Rokuko said ‘countenance’, half of his face was hidden by an eye

Not one of the dungeon cores here kneho he truly was

However, at the very least, all of the dungeon cores here had been produced by him This was an unshakable truth

The standard leading theory was that he was [Dungeon Core No 0] and all of the dungeon cores here were his [Dueon cores that took human shape did so because he, as their [Father] had a human shape—or, at the very least, appeared in that form

Therefore, Haku, who held a human shape froeon cores

… Another reason Haku lowered the ranking of Rokuko’s dungeon was so that she wouldn’t be targeted by others’ begrudging

[Oh, are there fewer of you? That’s saddening Maybe I should supplement it with some new children… What do you think, 1?]

“Sir! If father believes as such, should father not do so?”

The knight-foreon core asse [Father]—was this person The single-digit nu answer Is there any child that has another opinion?]

However, seeh Core 1’s answer didn’t satisfy him, [Father] asked the other cores for an opinion

—However, no one said anything No, they couldn’t say anything

Because if they did say soainst Core 1 And to begin with, reproving [Father] was a very awful thing to do

“Could I give le core raised their hand

Who? Who was so reckless—thinking that, everyone looked towards the person

[What is it? 89, what is your opinion?]

[Father]’s voice rose as though delighted Core 89… Haku smiled

“Approximately seventy percent of the 600 series are still alive It s Would it not be er?”

“What’s this [Betrayer] saying!?”

With a roar, a quaking voice shook the ground

Core 5, a black dragon, interrupted the conversation between Haku and [Father] However, [Father] gently chided 5

[5 Right now, I a to what 89 has to say You can speak afterwards]

“E-excuse my impoliteness, dad! But!”

[Didn’t I say I would listen afterwards? 5 is wise, so could you wait patiently for me?]

“Y-yes…”

Told that he could wait as he ise, he would have to deny that if he flared up again Core 5 could do nothing but withdraw

Then, [Father] asked Haku again

[Now, 89, how much do you believe the number of children should decrease beforehand?]

“When the nu members of the 600 series drops below fifty person, I think It has been similar to that until now”

[Indeed, that is an understandable opinion Thank you for the consultation]

“I am honored to hear your praise”

Haku bowed reverently

[Next, I will hear 5’s opinion What is it?]

“Sir! Father, that 89 there is a [Betrayer] and hunts our brethren Of the dungeon cores that, the uidance That is likely why she has kept track of the fine details of howher opinion heard!”

[Hmph 89, is this so?]

“Yes, I certainly aeon cores so that I may live, Otou-sama Is there a problem with that?”

Haku asserted herself, not shy in the least

[None Sacrificing others in other to live—that is the correct way Huh? I get the feeling that I said that last year as well] “It has been said every year, Otou-sama”

[That so? Well, even so, everyone here is ht?] “Yes, I understand”

Haku sed as a [Betrayer] was a usual thing [Father] lightly ad

[So nohat is your opinion on birthing new children, 5?]

“T-that’s… I think it’s best for dad to do what he wants”

[Un, thanks Maybe I should try asking soh bored, [Father] started looking for soaze swept towards Rokuko and stopped

Rokuko trembled… Surely he wouldn’t ask her Surely
