Lazy Dungeon Master

>Maybe I should automate that too… Like a register… wait, come to think of it I already made something that works like that in the slot machine, I could just make something similar…

But work for Rei huh? Rather, I can’t think of something for a vampire that has no offensive power or special abilities.
I just made her on my own, but I haven’t thought about any other time of work for her at all other than as an inn employee… Wonder if there’s any good ideas?

When I looked down a little to avert my eyes aware from Rei’s serious gaze, I saw the dungeon map being displayed.

… Come to think of it, your own offensive power has nothing to do with you ability to move the dungeon’s monsters around.
I’ve been ordering them around remotely by using a golem, but Rei could do that too right?

Or rather, Rei can’t open the menu huh?
Well, I think it’s fine to give her the authority for the menu, but… she’s a dungeon monster.
I don’t think it’s normal to entrust the dungeon to subordinates…

“So I can’t do anything to help master after all…”
“Ah, sorry, sorry.
I was just thinking about something.”

I looked through the menu… Oh, there it is.
Let’s see, grant authority.
Possible targets are [Gobsuke], [Feni], [Rei], [Kinue], and [Nerune]… wait, why’s Gobsuke there!? The others are white, just Gobsuke’s displayed as grey!
Maybe I can’t delete named entries? Uwaaah.
Making I should stop naming so casually.
I don’t like things being so mixed up like that.
I don’t see Meat and Ichika, so I guess a connection with the dungeon is needed after all?

“Right, let’s hang out and try a bit of an experiment.” [1]
“Y-yes! Since I’m a vampire, I am somewhat stronger than humans, so there is no problem at all even if you do it violently!”

I got her agreement, so for now let’s authorize Rei in the menu as a partner.
In addition, it looks like there’s even options to fine tune its range.
The dungeon and inn are specified in the range, and… restrict DP usage? Eh, wait, what? Hold up, it’s saying that I don’t need to personally handle the food? [2]
Uwaah, I should have looked into this a bit more seriously.
Well, there may have been a requirement of having five or more named monsters or something.
Okay, permission for this, permission for that.
Quantity of items and amount of DP that can be used is limited, permission given!

Managing the menu is for the management.
They were originally management candidates after all… if it goes well with Rei, let’s give some permissions to Kinue and Nerune later.

“Alright, let’s see if you can take it out.”
“Fueh!? T-take what out… m-milk!? Breast milk!?”
“Wait.
The menu, menuuu.”

The heck if she talking about breast milk for?

“S-sorry.
Master was looking at my chest so…”

… Now that she mentions it, the menu is invisible huh.
Crap, I’m not a pervert.
Hm? Looking at it another way… couldn’t I look at legs if I just say I’m looking at the menu? Ah, no, in the end wouldn’t I just be a person whose only goal is to look at legs? Let’s stop there.

“Menu, come out! I see, I was authorized as a partner so I can see it, and can make it invisible… so you were looking at the menu while it was invisible!”
“That’s right.”

In the end it looked like she could make the menu appear.
With this I should be able to entrust her with moving the monsters and monitoring the dungeon.
She’s originally a race that’s good at combat, so she’ll definitely do well.

“Like this, let’s have you help out the dungeon.”

Continuing the experiment, I confirmed that I could take away and return her authority.
She looked incredibly happy that she can help, but there was a possibility that I couldn’t have given it back after taking away the authority again… it’s alright.
I wouldn’t have abandoned her even if I couldn’t grant the authority back to her.

Footnotes:

Doesn’t translate well as the verb used is very very all-purpose, but he says something that can be taken as “Let’s keep each other company” in a sexual meaning.  The word for [Range] here is also implying other things, such as things they could do.
Like use deployment for example.
