“Rey-kun~”
That bulky figure is Magirema-san.
As always, the number of dogs in her lower body is overwhelming and impressive.
“What’s wrong, Magirema-san?”
Is she inquiring about ingredients? Or maybe seasonings?
If that’s the case, it might be better to discuss it with Primilla as well.
“I want a convenient facility too~”
“Even if you say that… something like a bigger cafeteria?”
Indeed, Magirema-san is now even making bento for sale. Maybe the current cooking facilities are inconvenient for her in some ways.
“Well, that’s fine, but you know? The old man said, ‘If it’s Rey-kun, he can make some interesting facilities.'”
“Ah, that unreasonable expectation…”
The inn has been built. The alcohol is somewhat ready. The meals are available, but as for something like entertainment… If I keep making rooms randomly, will something like that be unlocked?
“Magirema-san, do you want one too?”
“I’m interested!”
“Well, I’ll try it, but don’t expect too much.”
“Yay~! I love Rey-kun~! Ah, but no hugs, okay? The Demon Lord might get jealous.”
“Sigh…”
Fiona-sama, maybe she’s surprisingly possessive. Though I’m treated like a pet right now, she might not want to share me with anyone else.
◇
“Inn, shop, cafeteria, hall”
“What are you doing, Rey?”
“Fiona-sama, I’m thinking about creating a room where I can relax.”
“Once again, the dungeon’s usual rules are being overturned…”
It’s true for me too, but the Dungeon Master skill seems best thought of as a city-building skill at this point.
“Oh, there’s a change in the menu.”
“Could it be, the room I asked for is really coming true!?”
“No, it’s just that the way the stats of the demons in the dungeon are displayed has changed a little.”
That said, normally, I can still see their usual stats.
Fiona Silvana, Magic: 9999, Strength: 9999, Technique: 9999, Toughness: 9999, Agility: 9999
What has changed this time is the magic part. Actually, I’ve been thinking for a while now that it’s inconvenient that I couldn’t see how much magic I’ve used.
I’ve gotten used to living as a demon. Thanks to that, I can somewhat gauge my magic amount, but I wanted a more accurate number.
Fiona Silvana, Magic: 4023/9999
So, this additional feature is quite useful. With it, I can accurately judge how much magic I have left and retry the dungeon facilities.
“Is something coming up?”
“Hehe, not that easily.”
“Oh, something appeared!”
“You’re the one who brought it up, huh…”
Entertainment Room Creation: Magic Cost 15
“It looks like we can create an entertainment room.”
“Once again, it’s hard to tell just by the name what kind of facility it is.”
Given the issue with heat conversion, it’s dangerous to judge solely by the name. The best course of action is to try it out first.
“Well, I’ll try making it near Fiona-sama’s room.”
“I don’t mind, but why near my room?”
“If it’s for entertainment, Fiona-sama should enjoy it too.”
If the higher-ups use it for play, it will be easier for those below to use it as well. Plus, Fiona-sama tends to be lazy, so playing in an entertainment space is probably healthier than doing nothing.
“For me! Rey is such a good boy~.”
She hugged me and patted my head, so Fiona-sama doesn’t seem dissatisfied.
“Alright, I’ll create it now.”
“What will it turn out like~?”
I hope I can create something that meets Fiona-sama’s expectations… Now, the creation is done, so let’s check the interior together.
“Darts. Cards. Billiards? A counter like at a bar.”
“Seems like entertainment, indeed.”
More entertainment options showed up than I expected. It’s like some kind of amusement facility. Why are these familiar kinds of games showing up…?
“Ah, I see. This is that, huh? The mini-games from within the game.
It’s probably a system where you can obtain items based on your performance in the game.
That makes sense.”
“Shall we open it up to the employees?”
“Yeah… it doesn’t really have much to do with me, since I tend to be reclusive.”
◇
“Hoh, not bad.”
“Rey-kun, you’re really fast with your work~.”
When I showcased it to the Demon Lord’s army, it seems to have been pretty well received.
Rigma is sitting at the bar counter, and Magirema-san is serving him drinks.
…Well, Rigma is fine, but is it really okay for Magirema-san to be doing that?
“Playing billiards, huh?”
“Heh!”
“Ripianem -san, if you break too many things, you’ll be banned.”
“It’s shattering into pieces…”
It looks like the younger group is playing billiards, but unfortunately, Ripianem seems to need more training…
Pilkaya, on the other hand, seems to be having a good time, and even Primilla seems to be enjoying herself, which feels somewhat fitting.
“It looks like they’re enjoying it, so maybe it was good I made it.”
“Yeah. It’s the first time I’ve seen those kids in that state. Thank you, Rey.”
I see, so there hasn’t been any entertainment like this until now.
Even though it’s a mini-game within the game, it’s probably only the player’s controlled character that gets to play…
From now on, I’ll make sure the demons can also enjoy these kinds of fun activities.
◇
“One pair…”
“Three of a kind!”
“Sorry, it’s a full house.”
“Tch, again…?”
A few days later, I opened the facility to the employees, and the entertainment room became completely treated as a morale facility for the Demon Lord’s army.
What truly dominated there was Lopez’s card games.
That guy seems oddly experienced in gambling.
Kazama and the other reincarnated ones ended up losing all their coins to him.
“Ugh… Lopez-san is just too strong…”
“Serika, you kept losing, huh?”
“My choices, my choices were slowly making me lose…”
Tokito and the others sometimes won against Lopez in games.
However, those were just small victories, and they ended up losing many more times, ultimately being defeated.
It seems that even with the help of their choices, they couldn’t seize a victory against Lopez.
“My salary~…”
“You bet everything!?”
“At least the meals are free…”
Well, it’s not good to gamble too much, but here, even if you lose everything, you can still get by with just your basic needs.
Still, it seems like the reincarnated ones are deepening their connections with each other, which is good to see.
“…”
“Fiona-sama?”
“Lopez is really lucky, huh.”
“Yeah, well. It’s not just luck; he’s good at gambling, it seems.”
That’s more like he’s strong at betting games than just being lucky.
In fact, he hasn’t won every time, but he knows how to win big when he can.
“…So, if it’s him, he might be able to beat Gasha.”
“He drew the万能薬 (Universal Medicine) when we first met.”
“…Is it no good?”
“No, it’s no good.”
It was because Lopez drew the万能薬 under Fiona-sama’s order.
If we ask again, it’s unlikely that he’ll pull a resurrection potion again that easily.
“Let’s just keep working hard.”
“Yes, with me and Rey, we’ll surely achieve the full revival of the Demon Lord’s army someday!”
How many hundreds of years will it take, I wonder…
It seems like I’ll need a much longer life than when I was human.
◇
“Please rest.”
“No. I don’t need it.”
“What can I do to make you rest?”
“Naturally, it will be when there are no more enemies.”
“If I destroy humanity, will you be free to do as you wish?”
“Freedom… I’m sorry, Demon Lord, but what would we do with our freedom?”
“…Is it no good?”
“We are the Demon Lord’s subordinates! It is our joy to be of service to you!”
“…It seems it’s no good.”
Why has it come to this?
Is it because I’m such an unreliable Demon Lord?
Is it just their natural disposition?
No, it’s neither of those things.
That is the role that has been determined for you all…
“If you don’t understand…”
“Demon Lord-sama?”
“Then I’ll show you what it’s like to be lazy as a role model!”
“…Demon Lord-sama?”
“Just watch, Primilla ! This is what true reclusive life looks like!”
“…We don’t really understand.”
“I’ll slack off until you understand, alright!? Is that fine!? The Demon Lord’s army will be destroyed, you know!?”
“The Demon Lord seems to have lost her mind.”
See? You can at least say something like that!
We don’t need comrades who just blindly obey the Demon Lord!
So please, grow already.
