Doll Dungeon Chapter 12

miChapter 12.

In the morning several weeks later, Aisha, Cain and the others came over.

“What do you need this early in the morning?”

Directing them to the study room, I began the discussion.

“Yes. We came today to pa.s.s along the result of the contract last time.”

Well, that would be the only reason for them to come back.

“All the details of the contract were approved except for one.”

“And that exception is?”

I somehow know what it is.

“It’s regarding the compensation charges.”

“What?”

I thought it was the auction, I never imagined it would be the compensation fees.

“Why wasn’t it approved?”

“They said that they could indeed not afford to pay B-rank commision every day.”

Is getting daily wages impossible as I expected?

“Then I don’t mind receiving it monthly. I will conceed on that point.”

In the first place, even if I do have money, I don’t have any use for it.

“I understand. Then please sign this contract.”

Sign?

“You mean, write my name?”

What should I do?
I never thought of a name, y’know?

“This is in order to specify the individual, so please understand.”

There’s no helping it.
Since my subordinates are Eins and Zwei, this is probably good enough.

“Null, is it? With this, the contract is now in effect.”

Aisha nodded in satisfaction and kept the contract in her breast pocket.

“If that’s the case, hurry up and leave. There’s no food for you today.”

“Seriously!?”

The most shameless of them all— was it Ash?— cried out in a sorrowful voice.

“Eins.”

“Right beside you.”

Don’t just appear in an instant like usual.

“Did you see it just now?”

“It seems like it will be a disaster to make them the enemy.”

Having my subordinate praised feels good..
I still won’t feed them though.

“Pack up something for these guys.”
“Certainly.”

Eins bowed right there and then, disappearing in an instant afterwards.

“We will be at this place then.”

“Do as you like.”

With Aisha at the lead, they left the room in succession.
Eins would guide them to the entrance even without me checking.

Several minutes later, the usual message floated.

『Intruders were repelled. Dungeon level rose to six. 』

So those guys only raised it up to one level.
Surprisingly, the dungeon level might be hard to raise.

DP is now 16920.

I said it the other day and I’m saying it today, DP doesn’t come by in large quant.i.ties.

I made 20 Kill Dolls to reinforce security and sent them to fifth floor.

Now what should I do with the remaining DP?

The Doll system includes a feature of adding new monsters so I want to summon them, but they need to be versatile types like Automata and Automen since they will be living in a mansion.

Not to mention, I need to add other races.

Is a new position necessary?

A new position in a mansion… a cook?
Eins and the others are enough, and Eins already learned Cooking.

Are there others?

A mansion, mansion, mansion, mansion… Master?

That’s right, I’ll make some s.h.i.+n.o.bi. (Mysterious Thought)

It can be said that the new ones I made some time ago are versatile types. They can choose and learn five skills in the beginning so it’s possible for them to become specialized-type depending on the creator.
I guess they can be considered all-purpose type because of their stats.

Well, shall I make it?

Name: – – –

Level: 1

t.i.tle: 《Abiotic》

Attributes:

MP: 300/300(+15)

Endurance: 30 (+15)

Magic: 30 (+15)

Dexterity: 30 (+15)

Luck: 10 (+15)

I made 20 Machina with this stats.
Machina’s DP consumption is 350 each, so the total DP used is 7000.

At any rate, they’re versatile as expected. Everything except Luck is 30.

The last three seems to be fixed.

Now, as for the appearance…

“First of all, put this on.”

When I pa.s.sed the s.h.i.+n.o.bi costume, everyone immediately changed clothes.
Honestly, I was troubled about where to look.

The appearance of the Machina is that, everything except the joints such as the elbows are covered with something similar to skin, making them indistinguishable from humans at a quick glance.
Fortunately, even if their control parts are mechanized, they are dangerous enough.

Randomly materializing, 8 men-shaped and 12 women-shaped appeared.

“You will be named Drei from now on. You will be the leader of Machina.”

“I accept, Leader[/shuryou].”
