Smooth Plan
We went to the last floor where Veldora will live and arranged the interior.
Atmosphere is really important, so I can’t let the public see it.
And after we finished decorating the room, we proceeded to the center of the 100 floor and had Veldora release his aura.
Veldora released his aura carefully and managed to do so without an accident.
It going to turn into demonic steel soon after getting bathed with magic power after all, so it’s a simple mod wall.
By the way, the first floor of this dungeon is a square room 250m wide.
The dungeon was created this way so the aura could spread well.
It’s seems quite big, but if Veldora get into his real form, it actually quite small.
The dungeon is under Ramiris control, so it can be customized freely to some degree.
Since there’s no wall to block the way, it fills the room without disturbance.
All we have to do now is to wait until the monsters spawned.
After Veldora turned back into his human form, we moved on to the next step.
First, about traps
Poisoned Arrow ●●● Arrows smeared with poison come flying out of nowhere
Turning Tile/Mat ●●● Driving your sense of direction mad. Feel the importance of mapping!
Cutting Thread ●●● Pass by it without realizing, your head comes off. Combined with Moving Floor for brutal results
False Treasure Box(Mimic) ●●● Great, a treasure box..? Too bad, it’s ME!
Monster Room ●●● Hi there! Finally, a feast.
Darkness Floor ●●● It’s a common sense to bring a torch you know. If you don’t have one, we could sell one for a high price, how about it?
Terrain Effect Floor ●●● What the hell is this?! Why there’s a volcano in a dungeon!
I listed all of the trap I could think of.
It’s just the Terrain Effect Floor is too difficult. Well, volcano is impossible as expected.
I was imaging having blazing floor, freezing floor, or blizzard floor that makes traps from natural disasters, but…….
「Impossible. I don’t have the energy to maintain something like that!」
As expected, it’s impossible.
And when I was going to give up on that plan,
「Do you want me to tame a fire dragon or ice dragon from somewhere?」
I hear the voice of someone that shouldn’t be there.
As I turn around I could see silver haired twintail.
「Eh…..? Why are you here? Milim….」
100 floors underground.
In the other word, in the last floor of the newly-built dungeon, a beautiful young demon lord is smiling with a complacent smile.
「Fufun. Somehow I feel that you’re doing something fun. To think you were courageous enough to exclude me」
She said while getting arrogant and arching her back to emphasize her pitiful chest.
Still, as expected. She’s really sensitive to this kind of conspiracy.
In the first place, it’s impossible to reason with Milim.
Milim and Veldora glared at each other, but afterwards shaked hands and seemed friendly.
Thank goodness they have become friends.
「Sorry about that. I had no intention to leave you behind. I was going to invite you after it was done」
「Well, that might be true. By the way, is your country all right?」
She’s also a demon lord.
Is it ok for her to play and walk around like me? (Hmm, me? I’m good. Everyone is really excellent, so it’s better that I don’t disturb them)
Upon hearing my question, she averted her gaze.
「Well, it’s fine. See, I’m really excellent after all…….
By no means have I come here by running away because I hate studying!」
I see.
She hated it and ran away to this place. That’s probably the real situation.
「No way! I’m going join no matter what!」
Before I say anything, she refused.
Well, whatever. I’m not the one that’s going to get scolded anyway.
Rather than that,
「Alright, I’m not the one that’s going to get yelled at, so let’s put that matter aside.
「Ugh…. I really will get scolded…? No, but….
It’s possible to tame a dragon. If you want, should I tame one for you?」
「Ooh, can I rely on you? In that case what species are there?」
Milim fears getting scolded, just like a kid that skip her homework to go play.
After overcoming her worried expression, Milim’s mood changed easily as she teach us about dragons.
Ramiris is saying something like 「What are you doing coming to this place!」 just to get glared at by Milim and caught..
Fire dragon, ice dragon, wind dragon, and earth dragon.
As expected it’s impossible to tame a dragon lord, but as long it’s not a lord, it’s possible to tame an adult one.
And so we’ll have the dragons live on the lower floors.
It’s the level that could be defeated by 6 Holy Knights.
In order of strength, fire>ice>wind>earth.
If it’s the order from strength only and it became like that.
99th floor is Flame Hell Floor Being covered in high temperature flame, the last gateway. Heat-resistant equipment is needed. The one that waiting before it is!?
97th floor is Lighting Floor. The thread of lighting falling down from the sky. Whether you can break through this floor or not depend on your luck!
And so the super hard terrain floors have been created.
There’s no need to tamper with these floors. Just let the dragons that Milim tamed make a nest here and it’ll be fine.
Well, there’s a boss room before each, so they could only access it after they defeated the boss.
Building a tavern or a restaurant might be a good idea, but wouldn’t they just exit the dungeon if they wanted a break?
The first floor difficulties is for testing only. So any beginner could finish it.
Nevertheless, 250m in width is considerable. It’s going to be a floor that makes you walk a lot without any result/income.
It’s time for the traps.
Immediately facing a death trap would dissuade people from continuing, so it’s out of the question.
And thus, after three days, we are almost done fine-tuning it.
We nod to each other with smiles on our faces, leaving the dungeon with a feeling of accomplishment.
※Needless to say, the dungeon is filled with monster by the next time we went there.
Milim went out to tame the dragons.
We assigned all the tamed dragons as Ramiris’ subordinates.
If Ramiris got killed, she’ll disappear, but the subordinates could respawn at the recorded spot.
Even if Ramiris doesn’t have any power, inside the dungeon, Ramiris troops are undefeatable.
Beretta himself serves us tea without any complaint busily fulfills a maid’s function.
Since it seems that Beretta consents, working for Ramiris might not be so bad.
「With this, I finally gain real subordinates…..!」
Said Ramiris clearly emotional.
She might be really lonely. So while looking at Beretta,
「Oi, Beretta. Do you want to be Ramiris permanent servant?」
I ask Beretta.
If Beretta didn’t want to, I’ll prepare new subordinate for Ramiris.
Beretta answered,
「Is it all right? Then I’ll swear my allegiance to Ramiris-sama, as her servant」
He said without any hesitation.
I nodded,
「Fine. Well, then Beretta. From now on, you shall work under Ramiris!」
I declared, lifting the master lock and transferring it to Ramiris.
Who’s of course clearly dumbfounded by what has just occurred.
「Ay! Thank you very much for everything up until now. I won’t forget the favour of letting me be born into this world」
「Ay! Even at the cost of my life!」
Let’s believe him. If it’s Beretta, I don’t have to worry.
As long as nothing happens to Ramiris, Beretta will only listen to Ramiris command.
She might be really delighted.
Controlling the dragons inside the dungeon all by herself might be too difficult.
It also seems like Beretta doesn’t want to hand over the position as the first servant since Beretta has been serving her for a while.
Being a formal master-servant relationship, Beretta became an immortal inside this dungeon.
With a sufficient number of troops, Ramiris’ ability is terrifying.
I’m not going to tell her, but depending on it’s use it could easily sway any battle.
Now, we’re also adding Milim’s dragons.
But, it’s Ramiris after all. There won’t be any problem.
This lovable fairy is just a small lonely kid.
The revival item called bracelet of revival is also recognized by Ramiris, so anyone who wears it will not die.
If this thing isn’t explained completely, there’s a possibilities of misunderstandings.
And then while confirming various things, the dungeon is getting shaped steadily.
「What’s this airtight room for? is this also a trap?」
To that question,
「If you suddenly enter into a room without air, you’ll fall from not being able to breath. At worst–die.
Examine the poison inside the room, measure the concentration of air. If you can’t do at least this much, you won’t be able to last long.
At worst, you have to use wind magic for ventilation」
I answered, seems like she didn’t understand.
「Well, I know that this is an atrocious trap.
But, reliable. I wouldn’t have been able to think of this kind of trap all by myself….」
Ramiris said while looking at the traps with admiration.
If you tell me to clear it in real life, though, I beg to differ.
I think it’s going to be a brutal dungeon.
The completed masterpiece can hardly be described with only “brutal”.
I feel like I heard a voice, but it’s probably just my imagination.
However, I bet I’ll hear it again soon enough.
After finishing the creation of the dungeon, I return to city.
They were very interested in watching me set up the traps..
Otherwise the customer (adventurers) will have their hearts or minds broken and will be unable to proceed.
95th and 94th floors will probably end up being nonsensical floors, but it’s ok.
And so, I leave the rest to them. It’s good to see them enjoy themselves this much.
By the time I got back to the city, Myormiles had arrived.
I led him to the mansion I’ve prepared beforehand and leave the rest to Rigurdo.
I explained the location of the arena and the plans for building a tavern town there.
Rigurdo and Myormiles were shocked to hear that and it turned into quite a discussion.
Myormiles discussed the opening of the arena and the dungeon.
They quickly became good friends.
I also told him that Myormiles will get a second post as the leader of publicizing.
Thus preparation continue.
I only introduced him and let the other introduce themselves.
Anyways, after seeing Myormiles’ work ethic, they can’t have any complaints left.
And, including his entourage, he assigned jobs to each member individually.
Myormiles is really lively for being responsible for two divisions.
Excluding the person I personally know, we send the invitation under Myormiles’ name.
His progress is so quick that you’d think he had been doing this his whole life.
Not just the planning and management, but things are producing smoothly on all fronts.
Perhaps out of all the ideas I’ve thus implemented, choosing Myormiles was the best.
With just our power, we couldn’t have performed this well.
Myormiles also feel charmed by the food, environment, and comfort of this town.
「Impossible…. This is impossible! It’s even more comfortable compared to the royal capital!」
He kept saying until it basically became his catchphrase.
Then again, Myormiles reaction is the primary evidence that everything will be fine.
And Myormiles himself knows it.
「Rimuru-sama, there’s no way this plan is going to fail.
With everything as it is, anyone could make it succeed!」
Myormiles said. filled with excitement.
I think anyone is a bit too much, but I’m happy to hear him say that.
And as the preparations progress, unfamiliar people start coming to the town.
And it is nigh upon us!
