私達は今、ガルツ王国のダンジョンがある町に来ております。
いえ、正確にはダンジョンの中。
と、その前に、この未攻略ダンジョンがある場所になぜ町があるのかを説明いたしましょう。
ご存じのとおり、ダンジョンは天災ともいわれる魔王やドラゴンを超える危険な物なのです。
ですが、なぜそこに町ができるのか?
それは、ある意味守る為でもあるのです。
ダンジョンの対応は国々で違いますが、ことガルツに至ってはダンジョンを収入源として使い、冒険者ギルドと連携し、支部を作り、町を作り、監視と財源確保の為に使っております。
ダンジョンからいつ強力な魔物が湧きだすかが分からないというリスクはありますが、結局すぐに対応できるほうがよいという判断と、国庫を潤すためによいということでこういうダンジョンを中心にした町ができるのです。
あ、私達のダンジョンは論外です。
比較対象にすらなりません。
因みにリテアは冒険者ギルドの総本山がありますので、それをたよりガルツと同じように町でダンジョンを囲み、冒険者や騎士で完全に監視する方法を取っております。
我らロシュールはダンジョンが少なく、ここ数十年でできたダンジョンが3つ、近いもので8年前です。
ですので、近場の町や村に冒険者支部と騎士団の施設を作り監視しております。
昔はロシュールは全くダンジョンが無かったのです。
ある意味財源ができていますので、ロシュールの国庫にはありがたいですが、その分危険も増していますので、色々悩ましい所です。
「なにボーっとしてるのよ? クアル、しっかりしなさい。一応警護役でしょ」
「あ、ああ。すいません」
私が、ちょっとダンジョンの歴史を振り返り、物思いにふけっている所を私の警護対象のセラリア様がオーガシュナイドを斬り捨ててこちらに来ます。
オーガシュナイド、オーガの中でも比較的強いと分類される種族です。
本来であれば、LV50...つまり、軍団を率いることのできる将軍クラスが数人でやっとの魔物なのですが......。
「ふむふむ、ここらへんでようやく、一撃で倒れなくなってきましたね」
「...うん。もうちょっと手こずると思ってたのに」
......最初がラッツ様。槍を使う冒険者だったとの事ですが、偽物の体でなんなくオーガたちを屠っていきます。
......次にカヤ様。彼女は村の自警団で頑張っていたらしいのですが、こっちも問題なく、剣と魔術を使って簡単に敵を屠ります。
......最後にルルア様。元リテアの聖女様でセラリア様程ではないとはいえ、高レベルではあったはずですが...それでもオーガを杖で撲殺するなんてのは酷いです。
『ユキ様!? ご無事ですか!? オーガシュナイドが映った気がするのですが!!』
『何かいい金属とかでましたか?』
「あー、そうだな。なんかオリハルコンとかでてきたぞ」
『おー、それはそれは。DPで呼び出そうにも価格が高いですし、呼べない価格でもないですけど、無暗に呼べば価格破壊しますからね。そこで集めてくれません?』
「そうだな、ここから得たってことで少量づつ仕入れてみるか?」
『あー、ありですね。これから鍛冶の輸出も始まりますし、DPで幾らでも代用できるとはいえ、安易にやっては他所の採掘場を枯渇させますからね』
「そうですね。あくまでも私達ダンジョンは品物の完成品の輸出でいかないと、他から輸入して買わないのはそれはそれで問題ですからね~」
......そしてこのダンジョンの奥深くで今後の政策を考えているのは、セラリア様の夫、ユキ様。
本人は一切戦っていませんが、実力はセラリア様が絶賛するほどの人物。
私もユキ様の実力は存じていますが、このダンジョン奥深くでのんびり会話する根性は私にはありません。
『しかし、口惜しいです!! 私もユキ様について行きたかった!!』
『まーまー、シェーラ様はユキさん達との連絡役もありますし...』
『ナールジアさんがやってください~!! なんで妻である私が離れ離れに......』
『そう言われましても、シェーラ様が一番適任だとユキさんも仰っていたじゃないですか』
『うう~!!』
というわけで、シェーラ様はガルツの動向を知る為にお留守番。
まあ、元、いえ現在もガルツの王族であるのには変わりないので、一番適任なのです。
あとは、ナールジア様。
ナールジア様はガルツの武具に興味があるようで、王都に残り、一応視察にでた私達の代わりの居残り組です。
ロックさんは現在王都ギルドで会談中。
「ごめんなシェーラ。お土産買って帰るからさ。少し我慢してくれ、な?」
『......お土産よりも、熱い抱擁と眠らない夜が欲しいです』
......ここ最近頭桃色な話ばかりでてます。
「しかし、セラリア様。まだ進むのですか? もう47階ですよ? ギルドの報告では34階が最高との事です。これ以上は危険だと思いますが......」
私はそう言って、これ以上のダンジョン探索を止めようとする。
そう、情報通りだと、もうギルドの所持している情報を大きく超えた階層まで潜っている。
本来ダンジョン攻略は一階一階をじっくり攻略していくものです。
一階層深く潜れば、その分魔物も強力になり、罠も凶悪になります。
例え、その階層の魔物を簡単に一掃できたとしても、次が大丈夫だとは限らないのです。
「そもそも...5時間で47階層ってのがおかしいんです!! オーバーワークです!! 真面目に戻るべきです!!」
そう......47階層を僅か5時間...。
一階層に約7分ちょいです。
あり得ない速度です。
「んー、それもそうね。ねえあなた? 5時間も潜りっぱなしなのは流石にアレだとおもうわ?」
「どうなの? あなたが言ってたことは?」
「んー半々って所かな」
「おや、半々もできたんですか?」
「...ということは」
「おう、今まで降りてきた階層の掌握は済んだ。...なんと言うかモノ○リーなんだよな......より多くのDPをつぎ込めば階層を掌握、上層部に置いたダンジョンコアを起点に、他のダンジョンを掌握できるなんてな」
そう、ユキ様はこのダンジョンを掌握しながら進んできているのだ......。
ここに他のダンジョンマスターがいるのなら今頃泣いているのではないでしょうか?
Side : Kur
We are now at the town in Galtz where our target Dungeon is located.
More accurately we're inside the Dungeon itself. The 47th floor.
First things first, I will explain why there is a town on top of an uncaptured Dungeon.
As you know, a Dungeon can be a seriously dangerous threat, since it attracts Demon Kings, Dragons and more. It's to the point where they are also called natural disasters.
Then, why would build a town on top of one?
In a sense, it's preventative measures.
They cooperate with the Adventurer Guild to generate revenue, they help the Guild make branches and then towns naturally form around them. The towns are then used for monitoring those Dungeons and used as a source of income.
There is a risk that the Dungeon could spit out a powerful monster. But since the established town centers around said Dungeon, they can judge and respond to the danger much faster.
Ah, that obviously wouldn't work on our Dungeon.
It doesn't even compare to conventional ones after all.
By the way, the headquarters of the Adventurer Guild is in Ritea. So they immediately learned how Galtz does things and decided to use the same method. They encircle the Dungeons and then proceed to thoroughly monitor them with adventurers and Knights.
As for our country of Roch.e.l.le, the number of Dungeons is too low, only 3 have been found in recent decades, with the most recent one discovered 8 years ago.
Therefore, we set up branches of the Adventurer Guild and have Knights stationed at the towns and villages in their proximity.
In the past, Roch.e.l.le had no Dungeons at all and as a direct result of that we have very few Adventurers skilled and willing to attempt to earn a living in Dungeons, which is why we can't do the same.
Also the financial situation of Roch.e.l.le's treasury is generally on the rise because of them at the moment so we appreciate them, but naturally, the danger has also increased, so the revenue they generate goes into training more soldiers. It more or less balances out.
(Seraria)[What on earth are you doing Kur? Pay attention. You're my bodyguard. ] 
(Kur)[Oh, ah. My apologies. ] 
Since I was engrossed in pondering this Dungeon's history, Seraria reminded me that I am her bodyguard.
Our current enemy is something called Ogre Schneid 1)I believe Schneid is a reference to Gundam since the author loves them but I'm not sure, they are particularly strong even among ogres.
Normally speaking, they hover around level 50... In other words, you'd need generals leading a regiment to defeat them.....
(Lutz)[Fumu fumu, the coast is finally clear, they all got blown away in one blow huh. ] 
(Kaya)[... Yes. Although I think you should hold back a little. What would you do if something unexpected comes from behind and you're completely focused on attacking? You need to stay flexible as a rear guard. ] 
...... First is Lutz-sama. It is said that she was an adventurer who used a spear, but she could easily slaughter the Ogres even while using her fake body.
.......Next is Kaya-sama. She seems to be doing her best in the vigilante corps of her village, so she isn't a problem. She's easily ma.s.sacring the monsters using her sword and magic.
...... And lastly Lulu-sama. Just like Seraria, she is supposed to be high leveled since she is the former Holy Woman of Ritea... But it's just ridiculous how easily she kills ogres using only her staff. I mean why does someone Holy need to be able to fight?
(Shera){Yuki-sama!? Are you alright!? I have this mysterious feeling that Ogre Schneids appeared!! } 
(Naruja){Did they have something like a good metal?} 
(Yuki)[Ah, that's right. I ended up with some Orichalc.u.m. ] 2)Anth: Don't "I ended up with" Orichalc.u.m me!
(Naruja){M-my goodness. Even though we could summon some with DP, we would go bankrupt if we're not careful, so getting it for free is nice. Can you gather them here?} 
(Yuki)[Let's see, do you want to buy some in small amounts when we get out of here?] 
(Naruja){Ah, we could do that. But from now on the blacksmiths will start exporting, so even if we can subst.i.tute it with DP as much as we want, it would be enough to dry out any mining site, so we should be frugal to avoid suspicion like, how did you get all of that? } 
(Lutz)[I agree. To that end, we won't export the best of our manufactured products, and since we'd always have a way to import from somewhere else, there shouldn't be any problems.] 
...... There's also the Dungeon's brain and Seraria-sama's husband, Yuki-sama.
Although he himself hasn't fought at all, his ability is high enough to receive praise from Seraria-sama.
I'm also seeing Yuki-sama's abilities right now, and there's no way I can act like him, leisurely talking while being so deep inside a Dungeon.
(Shera){But it's annoying!! I also wanted to go with Yuki-sama!! } 
(Naruja){Well Well, Shera-sama has a way of contacting Yuki-san's party... } 
(Shera){Naruja-san, please~!! Why do I, his wife, have to be separated from him...... } 
(Naruja){Even when Yuki-san said that you are the most suitable person for dealing with the Royal court. } 
(Shera){Uu~!! } 
Since Shera's staying behind, she can tell us the trends in Galtz.
Well, it's like that. She is still a member of Galtz's royalty, so she is without doubt the most qualified right now.
Also, Naruja-sama.
Naruja-sama seems interested in the armor from Galtz so she remained in the Royal Capital. She also subst.i.tutes in for us when we need some information gathering done in the city.
Rock-san is dealing with the Guild3)Adventurer Guild of the Royal Capital.
(Yuki)[Sorry Shera. I will buy you a souvenir before I return. Please be patient until then, okay?] 
(Shera){...I want a souvenir and I want a whole night in your hot embrace without sleeping. } 4)Cre: ...What a greedy little Rabbit girl!!! Face: is she really a little girl....
......There are a lot of these indecent conversations lately. Seraria-sama regularly says such things too. It's something I don't quite understand.
(Kur)[But, Seraria-sama. Are we still proceeding? We're already on floor 47 you know? From the Guild's report, the lowest discovered floor is 34. I think going any further is only going to be more dangerous, also investigating the unknown is a little...... ] 
I say that, hoping to stop them from advancing any further inside the Dungeon.
Yes, it's because we are already advanced way beyond the information possessed by the Guild.
Originally, the strategy inside a Dungeon is to capture floors one at a time.
If you dive a level deeper, the monsters become stronger, the traps harsher, the terrain is unknown and you have no maps.
For example, even if you easily clear a floor of monsters, the next one might not go as smoothly.
(Kur)[In the first place.... We reached the 47th floor in 5 hours, that's too abnormal!! It's overdoing it!! We should return already!! ] 
Yes... The 47th floor, in only 5 hours...
That's about 7 minutes per floor.
This speed shouldn't be possible.
(Seraria)[...Hmm, there's also that, oh well. Hey, my dear? What do you think since it's already been 5 hours now? Should we leave some fun for tomorrow?] 
(Seraria)[Dear, what do you think?] 
(Yuki)[Hmm, coming this far, maybe we've only finished about half of this Dungeon. ] 
(Seraria)[Oya, we made it to the halfway point?] 
(Lutz)[...That means. ] 
(Yuki)[Ou, as we're progressing, I'm taking control of the floors we've traversed so far.... Long story short, there's a mechanism in which if you pour DP inside an enemy floor from the start until you reach the Dungeon core, you take control of the other Dungeon.] 
Of course. Of course Yuki-sama is casually talking, fighting, moving around and taking over the Dungeon......
If there is another Dungeon Master here, wouldn't they be in tears by now?
