166 Episode 14: Here comes your sister (2)

Show your sister to her room and start working this afternoon! Around that time, Shelley contacted me in a reading.

(Leo! The dungeon's offense is over, come pick me up!

(Done? Much sooner, but what happened? Are you okay?)

(Huh? Fast? That's not true. 'Cause we've been in the dungeon for, like, ten hours now, right?

(Oh. Speaking of which, you did. I'll pick you up now)

I halved my time in the dungeon.

Shelleys would be confused too......

I need to explain when I get over there.

"Sister, I'm just gonna pick up the Shelleys for a minute, so wait."

"Huh? Didn't you come home till evening? If it's because I'm here, it's okay."

"No, that's not it. Looks like you're simply done with your job."

I haven't told Shelley and the others yet that your sister's back.

"Really? That's fine."

"Copy that. I'll be there, then."

That's what I said, I moved to the training ground.

When we arrived at the training ground, we searched for four people, all four of whom were in the dining room.

"Tired. How was your day?

"Ah, Leo. Listen to me! You have successfully found a four-story boss room!

Leena was happy to tell me about my inquiry.

"Oh, you're amazing. Well, I guess I'll try my boss tomorrow."

I wonder what the boss on the fourth floor was...... a slime of physical invalidity or it should have been a very fast moving Kobold.

Well, you can afford both if you're four.

"Hey, more than that...... why don't you tell me why the time is different outside and inside? Is it night already? So when I went outside, I was still bright and surprised?

In contrast to Reena, who is in a better mood, Shelley wants to say that her time in the dungeon is stranger than her boss.

"It's a new ability for the dungeon. I spend half my time in the dungeon. So even if Shelley and I were in the dungeon for ten hours today, it would only be five hours outside."

"Huh? So, if you're in the dungeon, you mean you'll get old twice as fast?

"As it is, well, will it? But I'm not spending years in the dungeon, so isn't that okay?

When I was added as a new feature, I thought the same thing, right?

But I decided I wouldn't be in the dungeon for days and I'd be fine.

"Is it? We'll probably do it in a little while... but the knights are going to continue to train in the dungeons... and if that piles up, it's going to be a big number of years?

If I think Bell suddenly opened his mouth, I've made a very precise point.

If you ask me, the knights are going to try the dungeons for hours every day from now on...

If that goes on for years, don't make a huge difference in time.

"Sure. Yeah...... I'll talk to you for a second"

I don't know if I can solve this on my own, so let's ask Anna.

"Anna! Is there any way to stop aging in the dungeon?

'Does that mean you want to age as fast as you do outside?

"Yeah, yeah!

Right. It's better to stop aging than to make it the same as it is outside.

Boulder Anna, I didn't know you'd instantly hit what I was thinking.

"With additional magic, you can add it as a new feature."

"Really? Oh, but you're gonna need a lot of magic, right?

It took me a month to save my magic just to complete it, but I think I'll add more...

'Yes, it's a feature that wasn't originally planned, so both the magic you need to add and the magic you need to maintain will be in different digits'

I knew it.

"Oh yeah... So, how much magic can I save to add?

'That's right... I think it will take three to four months for the challengers to think about their magic increasing at this rate'

"It's about four months early... Aging for eight months...... well, is that about all right?

If you're as old as you get for more than four months, you don't have a particular problem, do you?

'If you were worried, would you stop the ability to halve the elapsed time until you added the ability to decrease the aging rate? And that reduces the magic that goes around maintaining it.'

"Oh, that's a nice idea! All right, that's it until we add new features!

Anna is really the best navigator because she gives you the best solution right away.

'Got it. Now let's keep the dungeon and the elapsed time outside the same'

"Yeah. Nice to meet you. I'll be back!

"Yes, I'll be waiting for you"

The problem was solved, and I came back to Shelley and the others in a good mood.

I'm home.

"Ah, Leo. So, what's up?

"I've decided to add new features to make aging the same as outside."

"It is. Don't worry about it."

"Oh, but you didn't have enough magic at all, so for the time being, you meant to make the time in the dungeon the same as the time outside. So three or four months stays the same time as outside."

"Really? It's good to have half the time, because it's very efficient, but you'll keep it for a while."

Leena doesn't care that aging accelerates.

"I don't have a choice. Because you can't replace it safely."

"Right."

Bell's right, we have to do it first.

"Then, shall we go home? Oh, speaking of which, is your sister here?"

"Huh? Your sister?

Until just now, Lou, who couldn't keep up with the difficult story and was stuck at the dining room desk, got up momentum with Ba when he heard about his sister.

"Yes, my sister was on a long vacation to see me."

"Huh? Mr. Helena did? Then you're keeping me waiting, aren't you? We need to get home soon."

"Well, you don't have to worry about it that much."

Anyway, I guess I'm even having tea while I enjoy the conversation with Elsie.

With that in mind, I moved to your sister's waiting castle.

I'm home.

"Oh, I'm home. Good luck to all four."

"Mr. Helena...... it's been a while"

"You already told me to call you my sister-in-law, didn't you? Have you forgotten? Hey, Leena?

"Yes, no...... sister-in-law. Long time no see."

The two of them, who had been fine until just now, suddenly got nasty with their sister in front of them.

Oh, my God, what's a sister-in-law? Sister, you were forcing the two of us to call you that.

"Hehe. We both got cute again while we didn't see it... I envy you. So, you two are Belle and Lou, right?

I shifted my eyes to the next target as I hugged Shelly and Leena.

For once, Shelly is a princess......

Around there, you look just like your mother who doesn't hesitate.

"Yes. It's Belle. Best regards,"

"You're adorable. We're free love, so you don't have to worry about the difference in status, okay? Oh, Leo wasn't a Forster anymore, was he? Well, Muldeen doesn't make a difference, does it?

"... it won't change. Well, I'll tell you what, because Bell is the daughter of the king of the Beasts, right?

"Huh!? Belle, are you a princess!?

"Yes, no... it's a country that's already doomed, so you're definitely a civilian"

"Still, it doesn't taste good to have a former royal maid."

Think about it again. Right? I'm glad I didn't leave Belle as a maid of honor.

Because by now, your sister would have been mad at you.

"Don't worry about it. Belle's not a maid anymore."

"Huh? Really? Don't worry about it."

With that said, I now set my aim for Lou next to Bell.

"Hehe. You're Lou? Wow, there are really horns ~. Since I was a little girl, if I did something wrong, the Demons would come! How angry you were, but you didn't have to be scared if you had such a cute demon clan."

Tense on his own, he was twisting Lou's face around.

I was wondering if you don't like it...

"Eh heh"

The outgoing Lou seemed happy.

Well, Lou's a sweetheart. You must be glad your sister adores you.

"Speaking of which, Lou remains a slave."

My sister, who had finished messing around all the way, pointed to Lou's collar and asked me.

"Well, because ostensibly it means criminal slavery. I've killed a lot of people, and I need them to protect Lou."

This is the only way Lou can live and go in people's worlds.

I don't care if they burst into destruction magic that I don't even have control over.

"Is that what it is...? Okay. Lou, isn't your collar tight or something?

"Yeah. I'm fine!

"Yes, that's good."

Listening to Lou's words, my sister smiled and hugged him about Lou.

This kind thing, you look like your mother, too.

"Oh, speaking of which, why is everyone dressed like adventurers? You were at the Knights', weren't you?

After hugging Lou for a while, my sister asked me questions like she noticed something.

If you ask me, it can't be normal for Shelley or Leena to be dressed up for easy movement.

I've been too familiar with it lately, and I've been completely confused.

How to mislead......

"It's like," I've been to the dungeon! "Huh? Ah, Lou!

Hey, don't fall apart until you put it on my story!

"Dungeons? Leo, is that true?

Damn...... how can I take it in a direction that won't piss me off?

"Yeah, but... don't worry, it's a safe dungeon, okay?

"You can't have a dungeon like that! It's not a good place for a girl alone!

"That's what's okay. That's the kind of dungeon I built."

"Huh? You built a dungeon?

"Ah..."

I think I dug a grave.

"It is. Leo, it's amazing! I thought I'd picked up a very large dragon demon stone, and it made a very pleasant place for me."

Hey, I'm sorry I wanted to tell your sister I'm awesome, but that's the one I shouldn't have said the least!

Oh, I'm done.

"Yes... the Dragon's Demon Stone..."

"Uh... sister?

"Before you came here, your mother told you to look directly at if Leo had done anything dangerous... I didn't think I'd bother to look into it because it's troublesome... but I've heard about it and I have to report it..."

What this means is that if your sister doesn't report, you still have a chance to escape the sermon, right?

"Right, sister? Oh, please, please. That's all..."

"If I don't report it, I'll be pissed. If I hadn't listened, I could have said I didn't know..."

"Oh, no..."

"Well, it's Leo's fault you broke your promise to your mother. Next time we meet, we'll have to take a souvenir and get in a good mood, even the sweetest things your mother might like."

"Sweet stuff... ok"

All right, we have to do everything we can to develop sweets for the time being.

In the meantime, we have to select carefully from the sugar of the ingredients….

"Oh, and you still don't know if you're in a good mood, do you?

Can you even try and get mad at me!?

"Damn...... Oh, yeah. Sister, don't you want a new dragon dish?

"Huh? The new one? Ho ho. You're going to fish your sister for food, aren't you?

"Oh, you don't mean that, do you? But it's delicious enough to make me want to eat even if my mother is mad at me..."

"Huh. Fine, then. Instead, if that's it, I'll send a letter to your mother by express. Like?"

"Ugh, yeah... he said not to worry because it's absolutely delicious"

Don't worry about it, all right? Yeah, don't worry.

You shouldn't worry......
