Seeing how we cannot do much for now, I decided to just go back home for the time being, as Dungeon Masters we got a lot of new things we can do in the dungeons, one of them is teleport around the dungeon all we want, but only us can do that.
It also costs us around 20k Mana to do it once, so it is not cheap!
We decided to close the spatial wall by pouring mana into it and molding it as if we were moving mud, it closed just nicely.
We covered the scene of the crime with dirt and trees.
I also did something interesting, I let the System A.I. become a Dungeon Manager.
It is possible to assign someone to become a Dungeon Manager for your absence, and because the system will always be connected to the dungeon, she can manage it by herself automatically and will do it for us too. Benladann seemed interested but wasn't fascinated with the idea of managing this, she didn't seem to find it… well, I don't know how to put it, but she didn't want to.
<Leave things to me now, Drake. I will manage the Dungeon for you and inform you about any changes, I can also expand my senses across it by sharing my senses with the dungeon. I had essentially become the dungeon, to an extent.>
Wow, you could do that?
<Indeed. It wasn't so hard. And through my connection into your soul, you could even give the dungeon corpses, items, and anything to be converted into mana anywhere you go.>
What! That's broken, so we don't even need to go back if we don't want to?
<That's right. But monsters and the like cannot be controlled completely by the dungeon, so you require to come to kill them personally. I will inform you whenever it is possible to create a teleportation trap.>
Nicely done, System, you're a very helpful sister-like figure now.
<S-Sister-like figure?>
Yeah, you've become caring and also always want to aid me.
<That's just… my duty as a tool, the System's A.I.>
Well, maybe I am just an idiot to think these things.
<You are…>
But to be honest, I don't feel like you're a tool. You're someone helping me out. No matter what you were before, or how you are now, that's how I see you.
<Not a tool? What kind of nonsense are you talking about?>
Ah, never mind. Maybe you'll get it one day.
<…>
After we were done with everything, we moved outside the dungeon and decided to go back to Fuyu, the night was about to come and the people around the city were less.
We moved right away to pay the 50% of what we have to give, of course, it was way less than 50%, perhaps around 20%, and just dropped items we didn't want.
However, because it appears to be rare for Elders to go into dungeons due to being lazy old men for some reason, the receptionist of the trade center was shocked as she saw all these wondrous items.
"T-Thank you so much for your hard work, Lord Drake… A-And… We are sorry for having to take so much from your hard work… I personally… dislike that the Elders were so abusive with the deal…" said the girl. She was so surprised that she felt pity for us.
"No worries, dear, we do what we have to do." Said Benladann.
"Indeed, don't get yourself worked over it, just live your own life, and have your own difficulties," I said. I told her politely to just mind her own business.
"O-Oh, thank you… I will." She said, waving her hand as we walked away.
Hahaha! We just gave them a small part of the actual loot, and the contract was taken out of my soul so they will never find out. I just want to laugh out loud so much. But poor girl, she really thinks they're abusing me… Well, even giving them that many anger me a bit, even more, if we consider the 5 million mana stones…
When we got back to Fuyu, it was finally time to relax.
"Phew, we are back!" said Benladann.
"Welcome back. How was it?" asked Fuyu.
"It was something else…" sighed Skadi.
"It was tough." Said Uller.
"This is the first time I see Skadi tired…" said Fuyu.
"Yeah, she got beaten a few times, for being reckless." Said Yuki.
"I-I wasn't reckless! I… Yeah, I might have been a bit reckless there…" sighed Skadi.
"Well, she's used to kill everything easily so meeting an enemy that can actually just punch her away might have been traumatic," I said.
"D-Don't make fun of me…" sighed Skadi.
I caressed her long and spear-shaped body.
"Don't worry dear Skadi, we trust you that you will become stronger," I said.
"Y-You're making fun of me again!"
It's nice to see her break her character for some time…
"This night we celebrate with tons of delicious meat! Let's eat Rank 3 monsters!" I said as I wanted to eat everything.
We quickly jumped into the kitchen with Benladann, using the Butcher Skill to enhance our ability to dismantle corpses, we began to dismantle a whole Ogre Giant and several Shadow Crows, I ignored the Mana Cores for the moment, saving them all inside my inventory.
Benladann prepared some oil made from the grease of Old Yetis and then we began to cut large slices of meat from the giant legs of the Ogre Giants, pouring them with salt, and other spices, and putting them over the pan. The meat was red but had some fat on it too, it simply looked delicious, fresh, and juicy.
The oil began to fry it nicely, we moved it upside down after a bit and then poured some more salt and dried herbs for aromatic purposes. We added some water and then covered it for a bit.
After some minutes, we took out the covering and a delicious filet was done, it was fully cooked because that's how Benladann liked it. The flavor was so rich and fatty, like a combination of the finest pork with wagyu beef… Simply superb.
Seeing my adorable Benladann stuff her cheeks with delicious food warmed my heart. Life is good.
