Dungeon Builder: The Demon King'S Labirinth Is A Modern City
Chapter 32: Serious Anger

We finally arrived in the city.

We landed somewhere a bit far away and started walking ever since.

According to Marcho, the city of Eclaba is a large metropolis surrounded by giant walls and inhabited by more than a hundred thousand inhabitants. It is divided into three parts: commercial area, residential area, and agricultural area.

Kuina hid her fox ears and tail using her Transform skill while Ancient Elf wore a hood.

First of all, my appearance and Elder Dwarf are not much different from humans so disguise is not necessary.

Thus, we will not draw too much attention to ourselves.

Although they were rare, elves and dwarves had proven themselves to be one of the races in this world, distinguishing themselves from monsters.

When the crystal broke, the monsters made directly by the Demon King would vanish but that was not the case with their descendants. It seemed that the monsters created by the other Demon Lords had conceived children and lived in prosperity and thus produced their own environment.

By the way, the Golems made by the dwarves were also the same.

"Oto-san, look, what an impressive sentence."

“That, they levy rates as well as prohibit entry to dangerous people.”

A troublesome line.

It was indeed a troublesome thing; one that would waste our time.

I decided to do it the easy way and borrowed the abilities of Kuina and Ancient Elf.

"Ancient Elf, can you take us all?"

“I will arrange. I can also check if there are people around. ”

"good. Finally, Kuina. Can you hide with magic? ”

“Yup, I can but it's only limited to our appearance. The smells and sounds we make will not be hidden. "

"That'll be fine as long as the other party is an ordinary human so please, do it."

"Good!"

So, we became invisible through Kuina's illusionary magic and entered the city by riding on the wind that the Ancient Elves were blowing.

◇

“Woah, there are many people here.”

"Sir, they're a little too much and that makes me nauseous."

We opened a translucent lockdown somewhere with no one around and then proceeded to the commercial area of the city.

I was with three beautiful girls so the gazes of the people around gathered on us. But since they were still little girls and because I was so close to them, none of them dared to call.

Nevertheless, there were indeed so many people gathered in this city, both inside and outside.

People looking for treasure and magic stones dug out from the huge underground prison gathered here and those people brought their own items to trade. Then, people came looking for the goods that the person brought. Then there will be people looking for those items and so on and so on, repeating the process over and over again, with each cycle increasing the scale of trade even further.

Cities like these often formed near first-class dungeons, or so it seemed.

By the way, the dungeon about 80 kilometers from this city belongs to the Demon King [Time].

If I had the ability [Time], making the dungeon prosperous would be a simple job. Although the person himself has said that the large-scale retreat time he did during the [War] was done with the support of the Creator.

“Master, if we go out and slaughter all the humans here, we will get a lot of DP. It will be safe for us as well because even if we rampage here, we can blame the [Time] Demon Lord. "

With a smile on his face, the Ancient Elf said frightening things.

That may be true when considering only the efficiency of things but…

“Let's refrain from doing that. It goes against my principles and when the [Time] Demon King finds out about it, he will definitely kill us. And most importantly, the people here might one day become citizens of my city. ”

"Sorry."

“First of all, what do you all think of humans?”

"Human? They're cattle for us, aren't they? "

The Ancient Elf tilted her head in confusion.

I saw the other two but they did not think the Ancient Elf's answer was strange.

Perhaps there was nothing wrong with that from the point of view of a monster that possessed extraordinary strength.

In fact, I who have special emotions towards humans may be a strange person to them.

“If they are indeed cattle, then they should have other uses than to be killed and eaten, right?”

"As expected of my master, you intend to use it until the end."

There is no need to forcefully change their perspective towards humans because that may change voluntarily as they interact with them.

“Although I am the only one who will not do so, there must be a Demon King who, based on circumstances, will strategically attack the human city.”

The one who responded to my words this time was Elder Dwarf.

"I wonder, why do such a thing?"

“That's one way to attract humans. If they attack a city, you know, a large number of humans will come to them and take revenge. There will be many strong humans as well. If the Demon King managed to kill their would-be assassins inside the dungeon, they would receive a lot of DP. "

That's the story I heard from Marcho.

If the Demon King were to make a massive attack on the city, the human army would be on the move.

And the stronger the human, the more DP the Demon King got. Furthermore, it seems that strong human emotions that are filled with thoughts of justice and revenge are extremely favourable.

Piercing the beehive as they say is an old trick done by the Demon King.

However, such a method would cause humans to eventually distance themselves from the dungeon and thus, when compared to the method of seeking some form of coexistence with humans, it was not possible to do so, it will disappear in the long run. Moreover, there would always be occasions where the Demon King would be killed by the many hero-class humans he had provoked.

Simply put, it is a short-term last resort when one needs a lot of DP.

“That sounds interesting, Oto-san. Let's try! "

“No, don't.”

Kuina is sometimes fickle, so I decided to be careful.

◇

We walked while checking the prices of various items sold in the Eclaba commercial area. Goods and prices will become reference materials someday.

They wore light armor with worn out one-handed swords hanging by their sides.

“You missed a little bit of looking sweet. Want to eat good food with us? We just scored some good things from the dungeon so we can buy you expensive food. Whatchu think?

“Oi, yes. All of them were bad boys except for one. There are even men! "

“They can't be bad boys if they're okay. Just leave him here. ”

They spoke while showing a perverted smile.

I was very surprised; I didn't expect to find such a stereotypical guy here.

“Can you not disturb my colleague?”

“Hey, you look like a girl. By the way, what, are you their friend or what? You trying to show off? Well, we're just good-natured masters who will show you something more fun than playing games so don't get in the way, okay? ”

I look like a girl?

It bothers me, to be honest.

I then felt Kuina repeatedly stabbing my back.

“May I burn the trash that dares to speak like that to Oto-san?”

“I forbid murder today. Let's not interfere, okay? ”

"Good."

He looked disappointed as he looked down.

I understand how he feels because I also want to kill them.

“I'm not their friend; I'm their guardian. I have an obligation to protect these girls so I will get in the way. "

"So .. go to bed then!"

One of the men swung his fist.

Although I could easily avoid it, I did not even try it.

And then, his fist hit my cheek but did not break from it.

"That hurts! What the hell, hitting this guy is like hitting an iron! "

The man held his hand and squatted down. Well, hitting me would do that to a guy like him.

The man then raised his face and while doing so, he began to tremble. The other two men also trembled immediately after that.

"AH! UH! UHHH! ”

"Hi Me!"

"W-waaaahhhhh!"

The three shouted as they started to flee.

But I didn't make them panic.

“You guys have survived well.”

It was caused by my monster.

They saw that those people actually dared to hurt me, but since I had forbidden them to kill, the release of their desire to kill was what they did. However, it was enough to make the men face their demise.

In the aftermath, the surrounding humans also lost their marbles.

They were truly S rank monsters.

“Oto-san, please retract your command not to get involved. Even though I know it won't hurt you at all, I still don't like it. I could have killed him a dozen times even before his slow fist hit. "

"Me too, sir."

"Yes I agree. I won't let anyone hurt my master. "

Being loved by my girls really makes me happy.

With no other way, I decided to stop getting myself accidentally hit next time.

“Sorry, I didn't mean to worry you guys. I'll make it right for all of you. "

I have decided that once our day's work is done, I will let everyone enjoy themselves to the fullest.

◇

We have finished looking at the market price of the goods so next is the main event of the day.

“From now on, we will be looking around for weapons especially around. Be careful, Elder Dwarf. We can sell whatever weapons we have that are better than the ones here. Use that as a reference. "

“Understandable but I think it's unnecessary; there's no way a human could make something great. "

“It was true, yes. I'm also sharing your sentiments but we'll still use them as a reference. After all, it would be of no use to us if we offered humans weapons that were too powerful. So, it is important to sell them slightly better weapons than the ones sold here. "

For the sake of argument, let's assume that we are mass producing and selling assault rifles in my city.

It would become very popular and make humans fuss over it. But this would invite the anger of the other Demon Lords and thus be like digging my own grave.

On the other hand, technology that is too advanced will stimulate human greed and, to monopolize it, they will fight against me in the true sense.

No matter what, doing things in moderation is the key.

"I understand. I'm going to examine things closer here and make some drafts. But after that, I will hand over the manufacturing to both. Ordinary tasks are boring. "

Such a task might not be pleasant for Elder Dwarf the researcher.

Despite this, I feel he will still do the job very well.

“Sorry to make you do a boring job but instead, I will use [Creation] to create an interesting weapon for you to learn. I'll also prepare for an environment where you can't focus on anything but your research. "

I smiled slightly as I stroked her cheerless head.

He then smiled with the highest happiness in return.

I love you, sir.

Even such short words made his face flushed and spoke in whispers.
