Chapter 470
Well, let’s rebuild the dungeon while Narikin and the others are on their way to the Holy Kingdom .
it’s not a job with a deadline to meet, so let’s take it easy . I don’t want to change it (you) too suddenly and activate the transition period . I will take my time .
First of all, it is [Gluttony] .
I asked Ichika about this [Gluttony] room mechanism when she is on lunch break .
*
“What? Ah, I see… the [Gluttony] is a trap that stimulates your appetite, right? Can’t we prepare something like tasty-smelled poison? If you don’t want it to take life, you can use some laxative or something similar, I don’t know any laxative that smells good though . ”
“Tasty poison… . ”
Well, if you’re asking if there’s such a convenient poison, let’s see . An amateur pufferfish sushi poison should do? No, no, I don’t even have that .
“Other ideas?”
“Other… hmmm… maybe a place in the dungeon where you can get Kinue’s food if you put money in?”
“That will put too much burden on Kinue . ”
Kinue can stop time and cook in a relatively short time, but it’s going to be hard if Kinue needs to cook every time you put money in .
“I mean, [Greed], [Lust] and [Sloth] are all stall traps, right? There is the possibility of dying by accident . If that’s the case, isn’t trapping people in the room with a good meal can be count as [Gluttony]?”
“Oh, you’re right . ”
“So, if you need a taster for good food, give me a call, I’ll help you out . ”
*
So, this one will be a feast trap, the basic concept it to stall and buying time like the other trap .
That said, how should I implement this?
“Prepare a seat, and the dungeon will make you a good meal from scratch . ”
You can’t leave the room before the feast is done . It’s a stalling trap that will require you to wait for the meal to be cooked from beginning to the end .
Of course, the reason for this to do it this in a way so it won’t increase Kinue’s burden, naturally the cook will be a golem .
“that’s is why I want you to demonstrate to me how to cook a meal, Kinue-san . I’m sorry, but can you show it to me once?”
“Of course, I don’t mind, Master . Then I’ll start cooking without using my [cook] skills . ”
[Cook]skill makes it more delicious, but you can’t observe it .
“And before we started . What are you going to do about the ingredients? The ingredients are indispensable for cooking, aren’t they?”
“It’s a hassle to replenish it with DPs each time… I was thinking of using something that spawns the ingredients, like the herb or orange spawner . ”
“… there’s such dream-like device?”
It’s certainly a dream-like device if you can spawn your foodstuffs and all that . If you have that, you can live without working .
“No, this time, we are going to use the minotaur and plant-based monsters spawner . ”
“I see, that means… . ”
“It’s practically like using spawners to summon ingredients . You will take only the necessary parts and get rid of the rest, the initial investment is quite big, and…”

It’s not a very ethical thing to do, but fortunately, spawn monsters don’t have souls, so let’s not worry too much about it . Eating means taking life .
“What a luxury!”
“It’s one thing to say that it’s a luxury worthy of being the [Gluttony] . ”
…Well, I’m actually thinking that we could integrate a system that cultivates slime to process the leftover food, so it won’t have any waste . Also, I’d like to have the slime attack the thug who escaped without eating their food . If the slime meat is edible, it could be used as an ingredient . I don’t know if it’s edible, though, but let’s say it’s acidic; it could be used to replace vinegar .
“The ingredients are minotaurs, killer weed, killer tomatoes . ”
Killer weed and killer tomatoes are grasses and fruits that have fangs and will bite you . Killer weed can be used as a green vegetable substitute or a pepper condiment depending on the plant’s part . I confirmed this with Ichika .
“I’d like to get some mushroom stuff too . ”
“Mushrooms? Surely if we had a mushroom, we could make a stew . ”
“If it were up to me, it would be even better if we had some root vegetables . Potatoes, carrots, and onions…”
I wonder if it’s a derivative of Killer Weed or Killer Tomatoes… oh, we have ‘shot potatoes’? A plant-based monster that fights with potatoes as bullets, this is one of those things? I wonder if the potato it spews is edible?
A carrot is a … a ‘spear carrot’ . A carrot that flies in and stab their enemy when they detect one? Why shooting yourself is a popular method of attack in plants monster?
Onions are … ‘ghost onions’? Oh, it’s not a ghost type, but merely a small fry monster that looks scary .
To be honest, I just know that this kind of thing exists .
“Surprisingly, when you try to search for it, there are many monsters that can be used as ingredients . ”
“Many of the monster ingredients are delicious too . Oh, maybe a Unicorn Rabbit will work better instead of a minotaur?”
…Yeah, Kinue-san hasn’t seen that Orange Rabbit dungeon, so she can say that . Well, it’s okay because it’s far cheaper than a minotaur and there will be fewer discarded parts .

Then, I set up a kitchen with a spawner in the master room . Because I’ll need to see how Kinue-san cook once . The stove magic tools have been lay dormant in storage for some time; it’s time to use it .
“With the push of a button, the trap is activated, and the unicorn rabbit will be processed into meat . because it’s fresh, there’s no need to drain the blood . ”
“Can we give the blood to Rei for snack?”
That might make Rei happy, but I don’t know if vampires can eat rabbit blood .
And Kinue pushed the button without any hesitation at all . The Unicorn Rabbit in the cage was quickly turned into meat . Maybe we can turn the fur into an item .
“As we discussed beforehand, let’s make a stew with Unicorn Rabbit meat as the main ingredient . A rabbit meat pie would be good too, but a pie would require flours . ”
“Well, I’m recording it, just do whatever you want . ”
“Understood, master . ”
With that, Kinue began to cook .
………
………
………
Did you always go through this much trouble…?
“it’s a lot of work… . ”
“I can’t do anything other than cooking while the [Cook] skill is activated, and for me, it is better if I can spare my time and energy than rush things . ”

“But still… this is, you know…”
“No, please don’t worry about it, it’s our pleasure to be of service to the dungeon and its master . ”
Kinue bowed her head with a smile as she cooked .
Hmmm, shouldn’t I give her some kind of reward for this?
“…is there anything you want?”
“Then, if you would be so kind as to give me a new apron, made by Master . ”
“Is that what you want?”
“That’s what I want . ”
Kinue-san smiled happily .
Thus, with Kinue’s help, the gimmick of [Gluttony] is more or less completed .
I’ve recorded the whole procedure; all I need to do is recreate it with the golem .
I think I’ll have Ichika help me make some minor adjustments to the flavors and other details as promised .
TL notes:
イッカク (Ikkaku)okay… I’ve never known that japan had a word for narwhal…
The literal translation is narwhal rabbit (ikkaku usagi), but that will lead people to google what narwhal is, right? So, I changed it to a unicorn rabbit; I will be going back to this chapter in case it become some stupid pun in the future .
