dies!"
"That's right, if the dungeon core is destroyed I die as well. That's why I said to not do things at your own convenience!"
"Ugu—… th-then, what now?"
"For now, teach me about the area around here… And can this goblin be returned?"
"It can't. Well, it'll give 2 DP if it's killed in the dungeon though."
"One tenth huh… I got it, let's keep it for now."
First of all, I decided to give the goblin the order to wait in the corner of the room for now.
… Rather, this room is pretty big. Couldn't it fit something about the size of a gymnasium in it?
No, if you consider that you can summon a dragon isn't that much natural?
"Well, let's see, first of all this place is called the [Tsuia Mountain]… Incidentally, this dungeon is called the [Ordinary Cave]! Adventurers said so."
Is this place even considered a dungeon. Oi.
Thinking about it, this seems to be the dungeon for a name like that. It's misleading.
Well, apart with the room lines with bricks, it does look like an ordinary cave…
"Is that so? The other cores didn't say anything like that you know?"
"… Now that you mention it, Rokuko said she was Dungeon Core No. 695. Are there 694 others?"
"I think the number decreased from lots of them dying from their cores being destroyed… the dungeon core is our heart."
"It's amazingly risky to leave your heart in nothing but a single room dungeon."
"After all, the other cores said the amount of rooms didn't matter!"
Fufun," the blonde-haired loli boastfully threw out her chest that she didn't have. That flat chest… maybe I should pat it?
"You're able to contact other cores?"
"Well, there's a gathering. Though I wasn't able to be there this time because of the intruders… we're called together once a year… well, it's like a party. A place to gather valuable info."
"Heeh, so because of that you heard those things?"
"Yeah, Dungeon Core No. 89 Nee-sama said them. Since 89th Nee-sama is an amazing person with a dungeon in the middle of the imperial capital despite being a humanoid like me! Her number is two digits, her DP ranking is in the top ten, and always cares for me."
Isn't she just cheating this girl?
"Come to think of it, 89th Ane-sama got a dragon from 1000 DP gachapon."
"That so~. Rather, I'm more interested in her being in the imperial capital or ranking though. For now we need deal with our current crisis somehow though."
"That's right. We can't do—"
"Guuu," a sound rang out.
… Now that I think about it, I haven't eaten anything since yesterday.
"Duck, or rice… do you have food?"
"Eh? Ah, I see. Monsters eat huh~. I forgot since I don't need to eat to live."
By the way, it seems that whenever a monster came she would always use all the DP she'd stocked up to summon goblins. Once or twice a month, adventurers would come to exterminate the goblins, mincing up their corpses and heading back.
And I seem to be treated the same as a monster. How rude.
I used 5 DP to summon bread and water, dividing it a bit with the goblin that was behaving itself in the corner of the room, then ate peacefully.
