Doll Dungeon Chapter 38

Today's lunch was pork cutlet rice bowl.

Honestly, I don't mind it.

"Let's resume our practice."

"Yes!"

Alphonse steps in as he says that.

He is now able to successfully deliver the momentum from his body towards the sword.

"That's how you do it."

While praising Alphonse, I parried his attack.

"Yes!"

Somehow, I manage to successfully defend every each of his attack. Maybe it's because my belly is full.

"Let's take a step further shall we? I'll also be on offense after this."

"Yes!"

Alphonse opened up distance between us before stepping in while swinging his sword towards me.

I avoid the trajectory of his sword.

"Hup!"

Once more, his sword comes swinging towards me. It's good that he can still manage to keep the momentum in his sword.

Now, taste mine.

"Haaa!"

Alphonse jumps backward, opening up distance between us. Then, he closes in and directs an attack towards me.

Our sword clashes.

The more you get hit by the sword, the better you'll get at it.

"Arghh!!"

Alphonse flinched and took a few a steps behind.

He quickly tries to fix his posture but I will not let him to do so.

The battle ended as I pointed my sword towards his neck.

『An intruder appeared in the dungeon. 』

While I was talking to Alphonse, the system message rang.

I confirm the person coming through the window.

"…I got something to do. I want you to practice on your own for the time being."

"Ye-, Yes!"

I left the training ground and head for the study.

"Eins."

"By your side."

I show the window to Eins.

"What should I do about it?"

"As for now, just bring him here to the study. Let's hear what he has to say."

"As you wish."

"So, what brings you here today, Hero?"

Just like last time, I'm now meeting with the Hero.

I can see with him today, a warrior, a magician and someone who looks like a priest. It seems like he has a party now.

"I want to apologize for the last time. I'm sorry."

This guy has some manner after all isn't he?

"And I want you to tell me everything you know about the Demon King. The only thing stopping us from killing the Demon King now is that we don't have enough information about it."

To some extent that is.

"Alrighty then, I'll tell you everything. I have you know that I'm not in any way affiliate with the Demon King. Furthermore, the dungeon basically has nothing to do with the Demon King. However, some of them actually do. They help the Demon King in some ways. The only thing I can tell you is the race of Demon King is randomly decided and I don't know which one it is. Lastly, right now, I'm also searching for the location of the current Demon King. Well, that's all information I have."

"…Really?"

Don't show your disappointed face to me.

Well, it's not like I care anyway.

"Well then, thank you for telling me all these. You're really a lifesaver."

"…It seems there were also times where the dragon becomes the Demon King. The same thing might happen to you as well, don't recklessly use your power and save them until they're really needed."

"I thank you from the very bottom of my heart."

"Eins."

After Hero's party left, I called for Eins.

"By your side."

"Do you think we can win against the Demon King?"

"As the Demon King is a threat to the Human, the same thing can also be said about the Hero and the Demon King. Therefore, isn't it possible to defeat him?"

"…You think so?"

『The enemy has been repelled. 』

Since the Hero has left should I continue training with Alphonse?

『An enemy appeared in the dungeon. 』

"…Eins, take a look. What do you think?"

I show the window to Eins.

"This is…"

Eins becomes speechless.

Through the window, I can see a big tough looking werewolf with a written card in his hand.

『I want to talk to the Dungeon Master. 』

"What should we do?"

"Should I stop the golem heading here first?"

I guess I should then.

"Golem, stop."

"Later, you may do as you please Master. However, please be careful since a werewolf is a monstrous demon fond by the Vampire King."

"…Eins, bring the werewolf to the study. Zwei, stay behind with me. Drei, bring some of your men with you here and hide in the shadow."

"""Yes!"""

"My Master, I brought you a guest."

"Come inside. Eins, you must stay."

"Yes."

Eins opened the door for the werewolf and closed it after he walks inside. Then, she stood behind me.

"So, what did you come here for?"

"I came here with a request for the Dungeon Master. By all means please join the Demon King Army."

TL Note:

Katsudon (pork cutlet rice bowl) takes it name from the j.a.panese words tonkatsu (for pork cutlet) and donburi (for rice bowl dish). It has become a modern ritual tradition for j.a.panese student to eat it before taking major test or school entrance exam since the words katsu means to win or to be victorious. -Wikipedia As usual, there will be no new chapter for the next 2 days.
