Chapter 341
Pre-Dungeon Battle Party
Sponsored Content
It’s finally the day before the Dungeon Battle .
The preparatory phase has been going pretty well with a few things happening here and there, so let’s say that the adventurers are well enough accustomed to the rabbit dungeon .
By the way, the reason there isn’t much else for me to talk about is because I was spending most of the preparatory phase sightseeing around the Imperial Capital . Yeah, so I’ve been using the heck out of [Teleport] . Convenience is king . The magical power it needs hasn’t been an issue either since it recovers quickly enough .
So, what were we up to now? We were having a motivational party hosted by Haku-san .
This time, the dungeon’s mainly Orange’s, so it wasn’t hosted at Haku-san’s villa, but was rather in the form of catering at [Rabbit Paradise] . Due to that, Aidi, Orange and everyone was able to join as well .
By the way, Haku-san was openly sponsoring this, so it felt like some kind of midnight launch event . It was so much fun I decided to bust out some sparkling wine to drink .
“Honestly, whether you win or lose this, it’s alright . ”
—is what she said . Yeah, now that everything was prepared, there wasn’t much else left to say . Rather, it’d be going too far if theyOrange expected anything else after getting so much help after finding themselves in a pinch .
Given that, as Haku-san said, either way was fine . In the event we did end up losing, the one to lose out the most was Haku-san at 100,000 DP . For Haku-san, that was barely pocket change .
Oh, there was still around 70,000 DP left of that . 10,000 DP of it was for the [Create Golem Scroll] we traded for the [Summon Skeleton Scroll]… Everything left unused would be ours, win or lose .
“Hey, Rokuko . You’re really not going to fight in the Dungeon Battle? I’ll have a monopoly on them if you don’t though, you know?”
“Nope . Rather, a monopoly on them would be a bit much . It is a Dungeon Battle . ”

“Right . I’ll leave the leftovers to you to clean up then, Rokuko . Whichever of us kills more wins . ”
“Aidi, you really love contests don’t you . I’ll pass though . It’s better for me to stay in the back . I’m the general, after all!”
“Rokuko, commanders are people who go out and lead from the front, you know? That’s common sense . ”
“It’s just that your way of thinking is too narrow, Aidi . The generals of tomorrow leading from the rear will be the Trend!”
“… Rokuko… you sometimes talk in a different language . Is it another world’s?” 1
“Yep!”
There were even a few conversations like that going on .
Having spent the preparatory period with Aidi, I’d come to understand Aidi’s temperament a lot better .
To put it simply, she was a meathead . She wasn’t a bad kid though . Nope .
She was just a duel troll .
“Hey Kehma, aren’t kyuu gonna eat?”
The orange rabbit named Orange ran over to me on the table top .

“Oh, Orange? You’re eating too?”
“Nkyuu! Kyourse! Tomorrow’s the Dungeon Battle, so I’m eating a ton to do my best! Here, eat some salad!”
With that, Orange used his rabbit paws to grab the salad tongs to serve me salad on my plate . It was filled with carrots and lacked any onions since it was meant for the rabbits .
“Meat’s not a problem since the salad’s for us!”
“Yeah, Haku-san even took that into account . How very like her . ”
“Nkyuu… hey! That’s a soup, don’t play in it!”
“Eeeh?”
“It’s not a yellow pool?”
“Ooh so it’s soup!”
It was nice that Orange’s horned rabbit friends were here too, but they were playing in the food . Hmm… maybe they didn’t know food shouldn’t be played in…? Eh, it’s fine .
Meanwhile, Meat was nomming her way through piles of meat and Ichika was eating whatever Ichika tended to eat . Unlike last time, they could bring back whatever they wanted since we have the gigantic Tupperware container named [Storage] .
… Ah, looks like Haku-san’s coming my way . The super-smile on her face was scary . Jiggle jiggle, I’m not a bad Dungeon Master~! 2
“Kehmsan . ”

“… Yes, what is it, Haku-san?”
“Fufu, you don’t have to be so on guard . So, what do you think are the chances of winning tomorrow?”
“Hmm, well… I’d say around fifty percent since I don’t know much about our opponent . ”
“Oh? Kehmsan, I thought you’d say something more bold, like ninety percent . ”
“Hahaha, you overestimating me . Though I think we do have a good chance of winning since we’ll be able to use the hero, too . ”
Yeah, Wataru was already in the rabbit dungeon and would be there for the following day’s Dungeon Battle .
All the rabbits today were snuggling up with and darting around among the adventurers there so there was no doubt about that . They were all pointing at the various rabbits vowing they would protect them forever, so let’s have them uphold those vows in the Dungeon Battle .
“Well, the reason you were throwing the hero at them was for your original goal of [Frustrating Them], so I’ll definitely get that done . So that should be fine… I suppose I can say?”
“Fufufu . I believe that Core No . 6 will likely be viewing their side, he’ll certainly be surprised . You can count Core No . 666 as your strength, so make sure to make this a victory . You’ve thought of an amazing gimmick like you did against me, right? Kehmsan, I’m looking forward to your ideas—no, I’ve been looking forward to your ideas for a long time . ”
Even if she was expecting so much, I hadn’t prepared too amazing of a gimmick… please don’t raise the hurdle so high .
“… Well, I don’t plan on losing . It does feel like I’m experimenting with a strategy that I’ve been thinking about using though . ”
“Fufufu, that’s exactly it, Kehmsan . Right… I’ll reward you with something if you win this fight . How about information on Godly Beddings? It will be information that you don’t already know, of course . ”
“… Well, I definitely don’t plan on losing . ”
I’ll definitely try . Yep . It doesn’t change what I was already going to do .
“Haku Ane-sama! I want a reward if Kehma wins too!”
“Oh? Then I want a reward too, in that case . ”
Hearing talks about a reward, Rokuko and Aidi interrupted . What greedy people .
“Hmm… I’ll prepare something under my authority . If you win, of course . ”
“Yay! You gotta win, Kehma!”
“Fufu, can you even lose with me here? If so, it’ll be because of faulty orders . Give me good directions, Rokuko’s Master . ”
Man oh man . Either way, it’s good they’re fired up, at least .
…
But now that I think about it, why am I getting a bad feeling about this reward?
I hope it’s just my imagination .
Yeah, so Rokuko has been using a _lot_ of borrowed words ever since she started reading Manga . It’s something that just naturally gets lost in translation, but just assume Rokuko talks with many borrowed words nowadays, particularly when talking about anything Manga/Earthly . “Purupuru, I’m not a bad slime~!” reference .
