ダンジョンに久々の新参人族が入ってくる。
最近忙しかったからなー、ようやく俺もダンジョン運営に着手できるというわけだ。
ようやく、ある程度データが揃いましたので、ようやくダンジョンを開店営業準備ができるというわけでございます。
俺的に、今回のダンジョン運営の話はこう聞こえたね。
「紛争地帯にコンビニ出すから。見積もりよろしく!!」ってな感じ。
だから情報集めましたとも。運よく王族とか、腕のいい冒険者と知り合って、なんとか運営許可を国に取れた感じですよ?
と、話がそれたな。新人というのは、モーブ達に頼んでいた奴隷達である。
主に、いや、若い女性しかいない。俺がそう指示したしな。
ハーレムひゃっほい!!って狙いも少なからずあるが、それよりも俺の手駒が欲しいわけだ。
色々理由もあるが、実際はおっぱい!!おっぱい!!っと冷静にならねば。
「さて、モーブ達が奴隷を先んじて購入してまいりました。これより、モーブ達の女性趣味について、考察と非難をしていこうと思います」
「おい、まて!!非難って言ってるじゃねえか!!決定かよ!!」
「まあまあ、外に出られない俺の勝手な恨みだから気にするな」
「気にするわ!!」
「ま、いい加減話を進めよう。とりあえずモーブから紹介してくれ」
こっちで勝手にいじって勝手にぶった切る。まあ、文句はあるだろうが俺の境遇に免じて我慢しろ。
「わかったよ。とりあえず全体的なことを言っておく。見ての通りだが、購入したのは9人だな。悪いが全種族とまではいかなかった。極端に値が張る種族や、珍しい部類もあるんでな」
「まあ、そりゃあるだろうな。一人につき3人って感じか?」
「ち、それはタイミングずらせばよかったな。そういえば、奴隷の契約内容とかは問題ないんだな?」
「おう、結局はこっちで指定保護するなら意味ないが。一応は俺達3人の奴隷って扱いになってる」
「そうか、とりあえずお前ら3人にも聞いとくが、手元に置いときたい娘っていないのか?」
「そうか、じゃ、自己紹介から始めるかな」
そうやって9人の奴隷の女の子達の前に立つと、全員が少しビクッとしている。
やっぱり、あんまりいい扱いは受けていないように思える。
「さて、モーブ達からどの程度話を聞いているかは知らないが。俺の名前はユキ。俺が君達の雇い主ということになる」
そういうと長耳の子が反応して質問をしてくる。エルフってやつかね?
スタイルは、定番を無視していますね。ボンキュボンです。
「...失礼ですが、私達を奴隷として扱うのではないのですか?雇うとはなんといいますか...」
「ああ、奴隷として扱うわけじゃない。ちょっとこれからやりたいことがあってね。君達に協力してもらいたいんだ」
「...協力ですか?私達を奴隷として扱ったほうがよろしいのでは?」
「ふふふ...、まあ隠すこともないがな。君達はこれから奴隷よりも辛い日々になるかもしれない」
そう言うと、全員が顔を歪める。
「おいおい、そんなに脅かすことはねえだろう。可哀想じゃねえか」
「モーブさんおちついて、あれはユキなりの配慮ですよ。彼女達はこれからここを、運営して守っていかねばならないのですから」
「カースが言うと重みがあるよな。逃げ出してたからな」
「耳の痛い限りです」
カースが俺のフォローをしてくれるが、ライヤに痛いところを突かれて顔をしかめている。
「ここの運営?どういうことですか?」
さっきのエルフの少女はそうやって首を傾げている。
「まあ、簡単な話だ。このダンジョンは、今となっては故人であるが、エルジュ様がダンジョンコアの制御に成功したらしくてな。このダンジョンに村、町を作ろうと話が挙がっている。今の所有権は姉のセラリア様にあるがな」
「...私達は実験ということで連れてこられたのですね」
なかなかに聡い子のようだ、教育すればかなり伸びるかもしれない。
「いや、安全性は保証されている。ここで行いたいのは、別の事だ」
「別とは?」
「実験ではないのなら、なぜ君達が呼ばれたかってことになる。簡単だ、エルジュ様の願い事というわけだ。戦争で家や家族を亡くした人々が、安心して暮らせる場所を...とな」
「エルジュ様が...」
「ここには奴隷を中心に集めて解放し、安全な場所を作ろうという計画が練られている。そこでまず、必要なのは人手だ。この話を聞いて協力してもらえるな。だからと言って下手に変なのを、上に据えるわけにはいかない、ここを作るのは元奴隷の人々が主体となってくれ、という願いだ」
エルジュ様様である。おかげで俺の存在は全く知られなくて済む。
世の中で一番安全なのは知られないことだ。そうすれば誰にも目を付けられることもない。
「しかし、私は...いえここのみんなは村や町をつくった経験など...」
そう言って、彼女は周りの同じ奴隷のみんなをみるが、同意するように顔を横に振る。
「そこは心配するな、その為のサポートで俺や、モーブ達がいる。まず君達にしてもらいたいのは、ここに村や町をつくる上で何が必要か、及び、多種族における文化の違いを教えて欲しい。これからここは数多の種族も集まる予定だ。なるべく最初に問題点を洗い出したいんでな。協力をお願いしたい」
「...協力や成果が出せなければ、追い出されるのでしょうか?」
「それはないな、だが運営に関わる内容をある程度、見たり聞いたりするだろうから、公言されると困る内容については口止めすることになると思う」
「当然ですね。わかりました。私は貴方に、エルジュ様のご遺志に協力をしたいと思います。ここが悲劇に見舞われた人達の受け皿になるのでしたら」
そう彼女が言うとみんな頷いてくれた。まあ、すんなりいってよかったよ。
「まあ、そんなわけだ。協力をしてくれるなら自己紹介をしてくれないか?君達をなんと呼んでいいかわからないと不便だしね」
「あ、はい。失礼を致しました。ではモーブ様に見初められた私達3人からということで...」
「なにがアウトだよ!!」
聞き捨てなりませんよ、様呼びに見初められた?いじるネタとしては十分である。
「ち、ここでいじっても話が進まん。一回自己紹介を終わらせてもらおう」
「は、はあ?わかりました。では、私から...」
「私はエリス。見ての通りエルフです。魔法は少々使えますが、戦闘経験などはありません。多少の算術はできます。これからよろしくお願いします」
エリスか、ステータスは詳しく見ても今は仕方ないので簡単に、レベルは10。結構高いのか?一般人の平均レベルがよくわからん、18歳のレベル5の平均はみたがな。
感想としては、9人の代表で受け答えした感じリーダーとしての資質はあるのだろう。理性的でもある、今後に期待が持てそうだな。
スタイルは先ほど言っての通り、身長が160cmにボンキュボンの金髪美人さんである。髪型はロングヘアー。
「あ、あの、私はトーリです!!種族は狼人族です!!ま、魔法は使えませんが、身体能力にはそれなりに自信があります!!よろしくお願いします!!」
トーリちゃん、レベルはさらに高い21、戦闘民族か!!
髪は白でショートだな、所々跳ねたりしてるからクセっ毛かね?
「私はアスリンです。人族で...学も魔法も運動もできません...料理とか、家事ぐらいです」
アスリンちゃん、なんか最後は消え入るような声になったな。いや、その自己紹介はつらいだろうな。
ここで一つ注釈を入れよう9人の中でどう見ても、最年少である。誰も俺はロリを選んでこいとは言っていない。
髪はマロン、ショートボブっていうのかね、彼女によく似合っていると思う。
「3人とも自己紹介ありがとう。エリスは最初から俺と受け答えをしてくれて感謝している。トーリは元気一杯だな、これからよろしく。アスリンは何も気に病む必要はないぞ、料理や家事だってな生きていく上で必要なことだ。そして、今は無理でも色々覚えていけばいい」
「いいえ、私のような奴隷に説明をしてくださって、ありがとうございます」
「はい!!よろしくです!!」
「...私は邪魔じゃない?」
アスリンだけは不安げである。仕方がないので、頭をなでて落ち着かせる。子供はこれが一番である。
いや、近所の餓鬼とかはいやがったけどな。親戚の子は嬉しそうだったんだからね!!!
「でだ、モーブに判定を下す」
「なんだよ判定って!!」
「ロリアウト!!間違いなくロリアウト!!」
幼すぎるんだよ!!いくらなんでも!!お前には自分の子供と重なったかもしれないが、よく考えろや!!これじゃ、当分は俺が面倒みるはめになるじゃねーか。
ま、こういう小さい子に英才教育すれば、どれだけ伸びるか見てみたい気もするが、本人が嫌がったら押し付けるわけにもいかないからな...。
さて、残りの6人はどうなることやら。
It was a long time since I last saw new faces entering the dungeon.
Because of the recent events, I was really busy and could not find any time to manage the Dungeon.
Finally, I was able to gather a lot of data. Enough of them to start the preparation and open the Dungeon.
The last time we had a serious talk about managing the Dungeon, it was something like the following.
(Yuki)[Because I will open a convenience store here, in the middle of nothing, please, have a good look and try your best to estimate!!]  It was something like that.
So, that was the main reason as to why I collected information. Regarding this, it was really fortunate that I knew members from the royalty and skilled adventurers.
I meant, the Slaves.
They were mostly young women... No, they were definitely all young women. After all, he did as I instructed him.
Hiyaho! it was a harem!! Although it was what I wanted to say, this was not the reason why I took them in. It was because I wanted my own p.a.w.ns in my hands.
There was also a variety of other reasons. But look, these were real b.o.o.bs!! b.o.o.bs!!
(Yuki)[Well, now that Mauve and his party are back from buying the Slaves, I intend to properly a.n.a.lyse and criticize everyone's taste in women.] 
(Mauve)[Hey, wait!! Did you just say criticize!? I protest!!] 
(Yuki)[Now now, don't worry about that. You should not be selfish and hold any grudge because you went outside to do it.] 
(Mauve)[I am worrying!!] 
(Yuki)[Alright , let's stop with all this random talk. Now I want all of you to introduce them, starting form Mauve.] 
Selfishly, I ignored him. I decided to advance on my own. Right now, Mauve was probably doing his best to hold his complaints towards me.
(Mauve)[I understand. I will give an overall explanation first. As you can see, we were able to acquire nine of them. We are really sorry, but we couldn't obtain one from every race. I hope you can understand, but some unique races are extremely expensive.] 
(Yuki)[That's really plausible. Did all of you buy three?] 
(Mauve)[Che, you had a really good point. Come to think of it, do you have any problem with the ocntent of the contract?] 
(Raija)[Oh, if you place them under your protection, the contracts will held no meaning. Just in case, us 3 will handle the slaves.] 
(Yuki)[Is that so, but first I want to ask you. Do any of you have a girl he want to get his hand on?] 
(Yuki)[I see, then, how about we begin with the self-introduction?] 
After they heard me, the 9 Slaves standing before where a bit startled.
Likewise, it seemed that they never received any good treatment before.
(Yuki)[I don't know yet how much you heard from Mauve and his friends. But my name is Yuki and I am now your new employer.] 
The girl with long ears reacted to what I said and had a puzzled look.
She, unlike your typical type of elf, had a really big chest.
(Elf-Chan)[I'm sorry for my impoliteness... are you not going treat us like slaves? What do you mean when you said employ...] 
(Yuki)[That's correct, I wont treat you as slaves. I want do to many things in the future and I would like you to cooperate with me.] 
(Elf-Chan)[Cooperation...? Then, you would probably prefer to treat us as slaves?] 
(Yuki)[Fufufu, Oh I don't need to hide it. But your new tasks could possibly even be harder than the one you would do as slaves.] 
When they heard me, all of their face twisted.
(Mauve)[ Oi Oi , no need to frighten them so much. Aren't they pitiful?] 
(Curse)[Mauve, hold it. Yuki must have taken everything into consideration already. That's Because the girls will have to manage and protect this place in the future.] 
(Raija)[Curse had a point. They might want to flee after all.] 
(Yuki)[Stop it, it's painful to hear.] 
Curse agreed with me, but what Raija said made me frown.
(Elf-Chan)[To manage this place? What kind of thing is it?] 
The elf girl from before asked for more explanation, while tilting her head.
(Yuki)[It's a simple story. We are the people responsible for this dungeon. After the Dungeon was subdued by the now deceased Herge-sama. The story is as follow. We will construct a village or a town here, and Herge's Older Sister, Seraria-Sama have in her possession the proprietary rights.
(Elf-Chan)[It seems that we were brought here for an experiment...] 
This girl was quite a nice child. She might develop fairly well if I taught her.
(Yuki)[You're wrong, your safety is guaranteed. What I want you to do here is something different.] 
(Elf-Chan)[How is it different?] 
(Yuki)[You were not brought here for an experiment, and that's only for one reason. It's in order to follower Herge-Sama's wish. She was really eager to create a place where everyone who lost his family and everyone who lost his home, because of the war, could live together happily.] 
(Elf-Chan)[Herge-Sama did...] 
slaves from everywhere. We will afterwards free them from their contract. That's why, the first thing we need is manpower. If you agree with this story, we want you to help here. Even so, I hope that you can treat the former slave nicely. We can't afford to have anyone here who will hurt them.] 
The existence of Herge-Sama was useful. Thanks to that, I will not have to reveal my existence.
I think it was the safest choice, since I knew nothing about the outside world, it was better that I didn't get discovered by anyone.
(Elf-Chan)[However, I don't have any experience into building a village, neither a town. And probably everyone here are the same...] 
After she said so, she looked into her surrounding to see if anyone had knowledge on this matter. But all the remaining slaves shook their heads, agreeing with her.
(Yuki)[You don't have to worry. Mauve, his friends and me will support you. But, firstly, I want you girls to tell me about the cultural differences between the races. It will be necessary when making a village or town here, because we plan to gather people from many races in the future. I want you to consider this problem as much as possible, and even more when we are not present. I would like to ask for your cooperation.] 
(Elf-Chan)[If we cooperate but don't bring results, will you drive us out?] 
(Yuki)[That will never happen. As long as you try your best and get involved with the management. But regarding what you understand, what you hear or what you see. I will have to ensure that you don't leak anything outside as it will be regarded as huge treason if you do it.] 
(Elf-Chan)[I guess that's only natural. I understand. I will cooperate with you to
Everyone nodded after hearing her. I was glad that everything went so smoothly.
(Yuki)[Then, if you are going to cooperate with us, shouldn't you introduce yourselves? It's inconvenient if I don't know how to call you.] 
(Elf-Chan)[Ah, yes. Excuse my rudeness. The three of us who fell in love at first sight with Mauve-Sama, we are...] 
(Mauve)[Why did you say out!!] 
I cant ignore such a statement, to address him with Sama and to claim that you had fallen in love with him?? This was enough of a teasing.
(Yuki)[Che ,If I meddle here, we will never end. Please end the introduction at once.] 
(Elf-Chan)[Wha, what? I understand. Then starting from me...] 
(Ellis, Known as Elf-Chan until now)[My name is Ellis. As you can see, I am an elf. Although I can use a little magic, I don't have any battle experience. I can do a bit of arithmetic. Please take care of me in the future] 
So she's Ellis huh, When I looked at her status, I saw that she was already level 10. Wasn't this considered really high? From my understanding, the status of a 18 years old commoner should be around level 5.
The first impression I had of her was that I felt like she had the qualities to be a leader. If you consider the fact that took the lead and was the representative for all the slaves. It seemed that I could expect a lot from her in the future.
As I said before, She was a 160CM blond beauty with long hair and an overflowing chest.
(Tori)[ E..euh.. I am Tori~ Desu!! I am from the wolf kin of the beastman tribe ~ Desu!! Magic, I can't... but I am very confident with my physical ability ~su !! Please take care of me ~su!!] 
Tori-chan's level was really tall, as high as 21, She must be part of a battle race huh!! Well putting aside the gag with her size, she gives the impression of a dog eared girl. And, to be honest, I was really thankful that the beastkin were not some extremely hairy people.
She had short and white hear. Some place where s.h.i.+ning, was it because she had some kind of curly hear?
(Aslin)[I am called Aslin ~Desu. I am from the human race... My knowledge is really poor, and I can't do anything like battling or magic... The only thing I can do is cooking and housework...] 
Her voice became smaller and smaller as if it was about to disappear towards the end of her introduction. I understand that kind of feeling. It must have been hard for you, Aslin-Chan, to introduce yourself.
If you looked at the 9 girls, she was by far the youngest. I didn't think
Aslin had short hair with a chestnut color. She had a bobbed haircut, I think that it suited her really well.
(Yuki) [Thank you three for your introductions . I am thankful to Ellis for answering back to me since the beginning. As for Tori, she is full of energy. Please take care of me in the future. And Aslin, you don't need to worry. cooking and doing housework are truly important in order to live after all. Well, take your time to learn whatever you find useful.] 
(Ellis)[No, I am the one who should thank you for the time you took to explain things to a slave like me.] 
(Tori)[Yes!! Please tale care of me ~Desu!!] 
(Aslin)[Am I a nuisance...?] 
Only Aslin seemed to be uneasy. Since there was nothing more I could do, I tried to calm her down by patting her head, this is the best feeling when dealing with children.
No, except for that one!! there was an annoying kid in my neighbourhood who hated me
(Yuki)[Then, I will give you my judgement Mauve!!] 
(Mauve)[What judgement!!] 
(Yuki)[Lolicon, you're out!! I have no doubts, you're a lolicon!!] 
She was way too young!! No matter how I loked at her!! I understand that you mistook her for your child, but please, think carefully!! Otherwise it will once again bring troubles for me in the future!
With a young child like her, I wonder how much she would grow with a good education. Although I wanted to know it, there was nothing I could do if the person herself rejected it.
Let's see, what we had now with the 6 remaining peoples.
