Lazy Dungeon Master Chapter 579: Taking a Break With a Side Gig The Women's Side

Chapter 579: Taking a Break With a Side Gig The Women's Side

"Seriously! The stage I prepared for the princess is ruined! What is that man thinking… Is he really a man recognized by our lord?"
"Ahahaha, that's just how my Master is, Number 219."
With the Giga Plant prepared in vain and Kehma's team fleeing on the spot, 219 was greatly dissatisfied. On the other hand, Rokuko was in a good mood, finding it very "Kehma-esque".
"Hey, Rokuko-obaachan. Why'd Oji-chan leave?"
"Well, you know. Because it's a hassle."
"Oooh. That's so him."
"A hassle… That man, for such a reason… Doesn't he want to show his good side to the princess?"
Of course, Rokuko knew that Kehma could easilyhandle a monster like that with one hand if he really tried, considering he was trained by Chaos God Leona.
… Well saying easily with one hand might've been a bit of an overexaggeration.
He wouldn't show off his power so recklessly, after all.
The capable hawk hides its talons. The same goes for the Dungeon Master who wants nothing more than to sleep.
"Showing off one's power recklessly only leads to all sorts of trouble. Like Hero Wataru who always comes to visit us."
"… Indeed, I also caused quite a stir when I mischievously burned down a field. Nunuu…"
Igni grimaced as she remembered the time she meddled with the Golen's fields.
Scolded by her father Ontentoo, she and Kehma had to put on quite a show, and it was a huge hassle.
"Doesn't he aspire to be a hero?"
"Kehma? No way. Besides, what's the point of a Dungeon Master making a public appearance?"
"Hmm. In that aspect, the Demonlands shines more than the empire…"
"And speaking of heroes, he once took down a dragon, right, Igni?"
"Oh? Yeah, I remember being 'defeated' by uncle."
"A hero who slays dragons, huh? Nice, nice, give me more of that."
"I'm not dead!!"
Core Number 219 took out a notebook and began to furiously scribble in it with a feather pen.
"But you know? … Kehma only really goes all out when he's protecting me. So… this is fine. Fufufu."
"Oh? Is this some lovey-dovey talk? Wonderful. Let me hear more. And also tell me what happens when he goes all out."
"I can't reveal our battle strategies, but I'll indulge you with some lovey-dovey stories."
And so, a girls' talk full of romantic stories and gushing began.
Listening to Rokuko's gushing, Core Number 219 continued to furiously write in her notebook.
"If you're talking about lovey-dovey stuff, my dad and mom won't lose!"
"Oh, that's right, Number 112 and his Master are a married couple. Good one, Igni. Here's some fruit as a reward, so keep talking."
"Oh! So, this one time after taking a bath—"
As a reward for unlimited Ambrosia, Igni followed Rokuko's lead and shared the Ontentoo and Redra's lovey-dovey stories.
Enthralled by their intense romance, Core Number 219 scribbled furiously with her quill pen with even Rokuko blushing uncontrollably.
"—And that's what happened."
"Hey, Number 219, could you write something with me and Kehma like that?"
"Ha ha ha, I don't mind writing, but remember, I'm a playwright… Alright, I'll get the Plant Knights to act it out. I'll do their voices."
"If it turns out well, I'll buy it!"
Saying so, Core Number 219 summoned her plant monsters and controlled them.
"Look, there's magma in your hair. Here, let me get it… Ah, don't kiss me in the confusion, the kids are watching—"
The two Plant Knights entangled in a lovey-dovey act while Core Number 219 changed her voice to add dialogue.
Igni nodded as if to say [Exactly like that], while Rokuko watched with great interest, saying, [Wow, wow, that's something].
"—Maybe we should build a theater next."
"Ah, the sound of culture blossoming. Nice idea. Maybe I can introduce you to a carpenter who has built a theater before?"
"Wait, doesn't Tsuia already have a theater?"
"More theaters are always better. Ah, Pavera has one too."
Thinking about the two towns that already had their own theaters, Rokuko reconsidered.
"Then again, going on a carriage date with Kehma sounds nice."
"A carriage date, huh? Just the two of you on the road… Yeah, I'm getting some good ideas."
"Oh, speaking of which, when we were going to the Demonlands by carriage…"
"Oho, a lap pillow…!"
"Rokuko-obaachan is amazing!"
Centered around gushing stories, their casual and aimless chat fulfilled the purpose of the girls' night, strengthening the friendship between these neighbors.
"By the way, Igni. Calling the princess 'Obaa-chan' seems a bit off. Besides, aren't you the older one, Igni?"
"Eh? Well, she's the partner of my dad's friend and also Soto's mom, so 'Obaa-chan' makes sense yeah? Besides, Soto's gotten really strong lately, wonder what kind of training she's been through?"
"What, Igni, have you been fighting with Soto?"
"Like, even when I breathe fire, she sends it somewhere. Where does it disappear to?"
Apparently, Soto's [Storage] Dungeon had multiple instances of Igni's dragon breaths 'saved' in it, Rokuko realized.
… It was isolated, but it was probably better warn Kehma to manage it properly so he didn't open that room and get burned.
As the girls' night went on, Core Number 219 eventually stopped caring that Kehma and his team had fled without fighting the Giga Plant.
