Chapter 102 (1/2)

A certain dark room.That place with an unnecessary large expanse is more like a hole, rather than just a room where the earth wall is spreading in a circular shape.

This is one of the hidden rooms in the Dungeon. No, since the Dungeon core had already been destroyed by the hands of Kaito-sama and Shuria and the others, so to be more precise, the former Dungeon is more correct.On the pedestal deep inside the dungeon, there is a fake dungeon core which was made by mixing a broken piece of dungeon core fragment which Kaito-sama and Minnalis acquired in the royal capital with a crystal installed.Which is why it’s no longer a dungeon.

「Ugh, ……uhh, ah……」

「……It’s just about time, the poison should have circulated around」

「It’s a trance! This makes it easier for Bear-san’s* work」1

In front of me is 『Metal-san』, one of the Shuria’s familiars, which is now in the form of a chair and detaining a certain manWith the poison made by Minnalis, half of his consciousness is being plunged into a dream world. Shuria’s job is to create dreams that make it easier to answer interrogations using Bear-san’s power.

「Now, Bear-san, it’s time for work」

Shuria took out the Bear-san from the round bag that Kaito-sama gave her and held it in her arm.Both Neko-san* and Metal-san are usually in this round bag. When I can’t sleep in the middle of the night, they often serve as my hug pillows.

「『Kushi, kushishi」』

「It’s no good anymore?　It’s punishment time for Mr. sleepyhead」

Children who say 『So sleepy, please five more minutes (free translation)』, or something like that will not be tolerated.

「『Kushi!?』」

When he confiscates the volume of the MP that he handed over to Kuma through the path connected to Kuma, Kuma hurriedly moves its body in haste. It is kind of cute.

「If you’re truly remorseful, you will work seriously」

「『kushii……』」

When she once again handed out the confiscated MP volume to Kuma, she stroked her chest as if she had been relieved.As she lowers Kuma to the ground, it began to walk towards the man.

「『kikii』」

「『Kushishi』」

Bear-san too raises up a hand in response to Metal-san who, with an adorable expression, raises its metallic tentacles as if greeting.

「Now, I’ll begin. ――――To the bounds of a fleeting trance, 『Puppet possession · Bear』」

As Shuria muttered the key word, Bear-san’s appearance turned into a blurry black fog as if it had melted into the atmosphere. The black fog drifts as if clinging on the man who is being restrained by Metal-san.

「Uga,ah,ah」

Just as the smoke begins to take shape, the spectacles will be constructed directly in the brain.What is being imagined is, an unsightly pig, that has been etched deep within his memory.Grond, a piece of trash much like Elder sister Yumis-Neesama, who sees everything in his surrounding as nothing more than fodders, and does not hesitate to deprive anything whatsoever for the sake of satisfying his greed.

After the image was fixated, the rest of the adjustment was left to Bear-san, and then Shuria took out a wooden table and paper from the round bag.

It is a desk that she normally use for studying with Minnalis-san, and also for forthcoming steamy days of getting laid with Master-sama, but today, she will use it to note down the information she acquires.Minnalis can only afford the barest minimum of reading and writing, so she naturally ended up with this through the division of roles.

As for Shuria, writing letters to family, writing down and creating fantasy story books that are kept secret even from Kaito-sama and Minnalis-san, are things that she does, so she’s surprisingly good at writing.

「Minnalis-san, the preparations are ready」

「Is that so。 In that case, let’s get started」

Minnalis said that and then began the interrogation.

「Now, once again. Please answer each question, one by one. What’s your name?」

「…………Ado……ru,a」

「What is your age?」

「……Thirty, four, years」

「Where do you work?」

「The Grond company’s,……business……」

The reply of the man who at first, was stutteringly replying with a hoarse-like propensity, gradually became clearer.Minnalis-san’s questions too are also getting a little bit closer to the point.

「What is your specific job description?」

「Entry of transaction register. Records and reports……」

「What do you record in that transaction register?」

「Name of business partners, name and quantity of the goods to be paid, name and quantity of the goods to be received」

As I caught a glance of Minnalis-san, I prepared for the memo and nodded back signaling my comprehension.

「Now then, …………」

*

「I am back, uh」

It was Minnalis and Shuria’s voice that welcomed me after I had finished a hard job and returned to the hidden room of the Dungeon.

「Welcome back, Master-sama」

「You’re welcome back!!」

He tracked down a peddler who was heading to the town of Dartlas, by going through the highway alone, and slipping a certain letter into the bundle of letters that the merchant carried.

There is a letter sent to the town of Dartras in the cargo, and it was just at the right time when he was having a little difficulty locating a peddler heading to Dartlas, but since it is roughly as planned, there is no problem.
