Lazy Dungeon Master

“…nnn?”

Go hang yourself, Aidi.

“Well, I think I will need some time to get ready so I can’t go right away, I will ask Haku about the detailed schedule, in fact, I will be grateful if I can secure a few days to prepare for your welcome at the Demon Kingdom”

“Okay then, I’ll be waiting, Rokuko”

If we want to go there, the fastest route is by using [White Beach] dungeon to cut our travel time to capital, it’s a route that Aidi can’t use.
So even Aidi depart earlier from [Cave of Desire] we will still be one day ahead of her.

“I wonder how many of you will participate in the fighting tournament, is it two… no, plus one puppy, is it three people?”

“Ah… that’s right.
I want to take Ichika with me…”

I would like to bring both Niku and Ichika, but our inn cost will be increased too, it’s annoying.

“Anyway, about the slave, they don’t have to be treated as a person, so you can bring them without worry, I will let you bring them free of charge”

“I cannot do that.
She’s an important partner of mine.”

“How soft… just like Beddhism teaching”

Not bad Aidi, she seems to understand the essence of Beddhism teaching.
I guess you did learn a lot from this abroad study.

“By the way, what happens if I take her without treating her as a person?”

“It’s like handling an item, if it’s damaged, we’ll pay for it, but other than that, it’s on you”

“It looks like it’s a lot of trouble… what will we do, Kehma?”

“… Even I bring her, aren’t we likely to be in trouble unless I treat them as people?”

“in the first place, it’s rare to see people treating slaves as human, is it not like this in this country?”

“Ah, yeah.”

To think of it, it does likely to be like that, people are treated as a pet and such.

Ummm… didn’t I also doing that? Treating Niku as a hug pillow.

“To think of it, Niku is Kehma hug pillow already, it’s hard to imagine Kehma treating Niku as something else”

Even Rokuko agreed

“…I am a dungeon monster that exists for the master too, so can I be treated as a hug pillow too?

Nerune that’s your worries?

“…sigh, I will miss that Rat Race in the playroom.”

“ara Aidi, you like that game so much?”

“Yeah, I will try to recreate it when I returned in Demon Kingdom, …oh right! Can I borrow a slave with the know-how to make that Rat Race? You can bring her to study abroad and I will cover for her accommodation”

“oh, you are right, how about it Kehma?”

In other words, bring someone with expertise on Rat Race, and that someone is… Ichika.
Apparently, Aidi did notice it.

“in that case, let’s take Ichika with us.
I will prepare and train the rats too”

“Thanks, I’m looking forward to it.”

Aidi smiled.

Haku came to pick us the next day, but since she wants to stay one night, Aidi forced to stay for another day.
…… It was an obvious trick to squeeze her wallet to the utmost limit.

TL note :

Dark modes huh, this is a free hosting version, so all I can do is alter it completely, I can do that for sure but I need time.

Niku / Meat voting… will have to wait one more day… I was ridiculously busy today, ah… I planned to make the vote last 3 days this time, is it fair enough?
