LDM 537 – Raid Dungeon Battles (8)
tl: special edit to differentiate between radio comm and direct voice.
There were 15 dungeon battle challenges applied to our dungeon, and that’s not including the 10th core.
1 versus 15, that’s a ridiculous difference of power, not to mention the preparation time they gave us was only one hour.
“I know it’s a little late to say this, but isn’t it problematic that we cannot refuse this kind of dungeon challenge? Shouldn’t it be fixed?”“That’s not important right now! It’s 15 core at once, Kehma! What are we going to do about this!??”
Rokuko was flustered. Well, I also get a slight headache while wondering what to do.
“Yeah, at this rate, I may need to use my trump card….”
“Then please use it and quickly turn the situation back to that 10th core! That old man called Haku-nee-sama a white pig! That’s unforgivable! This is war, war, I say!”
“We’re already in the middle of a dungeon battle to destroy 10th core, so it’s already war!”
Rokuko was furious; she was quite annoyed to hear Haku was ridiculed.
“I mean, Rokuko… don’t you have any doubt on my trump card? Our opponent is 15 cores, you know?”“Because Kehma, you said you [may need to] use your trump card, right? “
“I did.”
“That also means you still have a chance to win even without it, but it’s not a sure win without that.”
“I didn’t mean it that way… Well… perhaps it is, though?”
As Rokuko said, if I use my hidden card, the win is guaranteed. The number of opponents become irrelevant, be it 15 or any number of cores thrown at us; this is a sure-win card.
That’s also why I hid it, if possible, I don’t want to use it, especially in front of Haku…
“If so, I just need to persuade Haku-nee-sama not to look at our moves?”
“I don’t know if that will work, though? Well, first thing first is to report our current situation to Haku.”
Yeah, let’s first report this. I talked to Haku through my avatar.
“Hello Haku? I have a report for you.”
“『Is there anything wrong at the front? 』”
“Sister! The 10th core is setting up the assault to directly attack my dungeon, and it’s 15 core at once, including his subordinates!”
Rokuko interrupts my transmission from the side.
“『EEH!? Ok, wait, reinforcements, I’ll send out reinforcements! Do you have their number? I’ll set up a dungeon battle from here! 』”
“Um, about that….”
By the way, it seems that Haku had talked to [Father] about the dungeon battle against the 10th core, and the number of attackers from the [traitor faction] was hidden.
On the other hand, the 10th core seemed to have applied for the dungeon battle suddenly without such a preparation, and the number of the other party was known as it is.
“Sister, we will be fine, so please do something about the core 10th core dungeon.”
“『Oh, you don’t need reinforcements?』”
“About that, I will use my trump card, so please don’t look at me for the time being.”
“『But I’m worried…』”
“Don’t worry!”
Rokuko said confidently.
….Well, it’s true we will be fine if we use that.
“The number of the person who has been initiating the dungeon battle is now showing. Let’s see… it’s 26, 66, 233, 42, and 7 core.”
“『! Well, well, that is strange… That’s all dead cores.』”
“huh? Is that right, sister?”‘
“『Yes, I’m sure of it.』”
So does it mean that the 10th core is killing other cores and turning them into undead?
I see. This means that core No. 10 is a genuine traitor, and these cores are servants, just as core No. 10 says. So his undead-like fighting style was effective even on the scale of dungeon cores.
“It won’t be a problem if I use my trump card! I will not forgive the 10th core for insulting my sister, and I will let him lament his misfortune in targeting me first!”
“『….Are you sure it won’t be a problem?』”
I felt like Haku’s voice was directed towards me, not Rokuko, and I answered on behalf of Rokuko.
“If we use our trump card, it doesn’t matter how many people we are dealing with.”
“『I understand. I’ll leave it to you then. I will compensate you for any damages and expenses.』”
With that said, I was entrusted with the task, and we’re done reporting. Now it’s time for us to prepare for dungeon battle.
Or, in other words, our preparation to use the trump card.
“Okay, so what kind of trump card is it?”
“Well… first of all, I should prepare socks…. or could I just pay her later? I’m sure Haku would be more than happy to get them for you.”
“….socks?”
Rokuko tilted her head.
The first thing to do is to get a pair of socks for Soto; after all, she is the trump card.
“Soto? …… Soto is the trump card to win against 15 cores?”
“That’s right.”
Yes.
The dungeon of Soto, or “[storage] dungeon,” has a number of characteristics that are not found in other dungeons, and not only they were quite unique, but their performance is the very definition of broken.
One of the most dangerous power is that you can [open a path to any place] through the [storage] of the entity with whom you have a soul connection.
“… Let’s see, for example… she could send enemy monsters to the Holy Kingdoms?”
“Oh, that’s a good idea.”
Cause we still have Narikin stationed over there, all we had to do is to have the monsters exchange DPs over there and have them learn [storage], then viola, the [exit] path is complete.
After that, we only need to make the enemy monsters enter on the [entrance] side.
“But they have 15 cores attacking, right?”
“Then we only need to create 15 dungeon entrances.”
It is also common knowledge that there is more than one entrance to a dungeon, and if you dealing with 15 core as opponents, then you only need to respond by making 15 entrances.
“But will they be able to conveniently enter the entrance so easily?”
“Well, if you cover the gate with [entrance], they will have no choice but to enter, won’t they?”
“……? Covering the gate?
“Yes, in any dungeon battle, monsters will surely come and go through the gate. So, why don’t we cover the gate directly with an [entrance]?”
“That’s… very unfair, isn’t it?”
“It sure is.”
Moreover, the dungeon of Soto is a [storage] where time stops.
If you don’t have a countermeasure for time stop, just going in will be the end for you.
“At least with Soto here, we won’t ever lose the defensive battle.”
“Kehma, isn’t this…?”
“I’ve told you; it is very unfair. Soto is one hell of a trump card.”
That’s why I will be spending a significant amount of DP to expand Soto’s dungeon. After this, I will send the bill to Haku for the DP usage of the [Storage] scroll, which means the expense is practically zero for us.
Then again, it would be very troublesome if the gate for dungeon battles appeared in some village.
“Oh, can we pay GP to [Father] to fix the location of their gate? It would be troublesome to release them to outside, and it would be easier to do it in the warehouse area or some other less crowded place with fewer witnesses. …No, let’s just have him connect the exit to the [white sand beach].”
“Ah, right, at worst, we won’t lose anything even if that one is destroyed… I believe Haku-nee-sama said she has requested [Father] to move our gate closer together, so maybe it’s possible to make that kind of adjustment?”
This is going to be a really easy fight.
Just as Rokuko said, let’s let the 10th core lament his back luck for placing us as his first target.
….In next episode! The 10th core will be dead! Just kidding~ because he is already (un)dead.

Did Rokuko pregnant? Cause that is clearly a dad joke.
