Reincarnated as a Dungeon Master, I Became Unstoppable by Doting on My Monsters—My Gorgeous Monsters Have Started to Conquer the World on Their Own! - Chapter 34: Arrival
“Wow, isn’t this place pretty lively? It’s bustling.”
Men and women carrying weapons stroll around in broad daylight, not seeming to work. Students perform political dramas to sparse crowds. Energetic hawkers and unnecessarily extravagant fountains. Yeah, it feels free and not too bad at all.
At that moment, Rosarosa was happily observing the bustling city life.
“Rosarosa, why are you asking about such a boring man’s residence?”
Biondetta spoke with a hint of irritation. Oh, she noticed that Rosarosa was asking the coachman about the location of his shop.
This girl is always on edge unless she’s with her “big brother.”
“Well, it’s not like I have anything against him. They say ‘chance encounters are predestined.’”
Hmm. All the priestesses of Nanaya dislike men other than ‘Big Brother.’ But in Rosarosa’s case, she should be acquainted with ordinary guys like that.
Rosarosa’s unique skill, ‘Poisonous Conversation,’ relies heavily on preparation. She needs to make as many friends as possible so that everyone in the country has experienced her ‘poison’ for her skill to shine!
They saved his life to make him work hard for us.
“I don’t think such a man would be of any use, but well, it’s already done. I will gather information around the town; what about you, Rosarosa?” Biondetta tilted her head, already engrossed in her work.
“I’ll gather information with you, Biondetta!”
Rosarosa said, having come with that intention. But then.
“Do you think you’ll be of any use?”
Biondetta asked, sounding genuinely puzzled.
Clang! How rude! Biondetta hates inefficiency and waste. “She’s like a career woman,” our ‘big brother’ once said, but I’m sure no one was like her on Earth.
After all, she’s the type to say it’s more time-efficient to respawn and would crash into a tree to commit suicide when returning from a long journey. There’s no way someone like that existed in our ‘big brother’s’ previous life!
“But I’m Biondetta’s overseer, so I have to be with her!”
Rosarosa suppresses her anger and clings to Biondetta. She liked Biondetta’s strong personality. She wanted all the priestesses of Nanaya. They were straightforward, twisted in a way, and the most interesting people to observe.
Even if she hadn’t met her ‘big brother,’ Rosarosa would have wanted to be a priestess of Nanaya; everyone in this dungeon was that interesting. However, Biondetta looked at Rosarosa, who was clinging to her, as if she were something filthy and said,
“Are you sane? Our ‘Yuuto-sama’ is suffering so much.”
Biondetta’s tone was skeptical. By “Are you sane?” she meant, “Instead of inefficiently overseeing me, you should be earning money for our ‘big brother.’”
You need to be more efficient; you need both words and compassion! Rosarosa knew that being too efficient and spreading poison everywhere would only lead to something good. If you don’t care about appearances, neither will others. If she used her ability to activate all the latent poison at once, it would be so dangerous that other countries would send powerful hunters after her.
That’s why a slow, steady, corrosive approach is required for infiltration. Biondetta, being impatient, doesn’t understand this at all. But it’s Rosarosa’s job as an overseer to correct her!
“Don’t worry! Our ‘big brother’ would be happier if we got along.”
Rosarosa assured. After all, their ‘big brother’ didn’t care much about what had happened with the Goddess Nanaya.
“Tch.”
Biondetta clicked her tongue, frustrated that her straightforward actions for her loved one had been deemed incorrect. If only the world were as simple as Biondetta’s mind.
“Ahaha, you’re scary.”
Rosarosa laughed, finding Biondetta’s displeasure amusing. But then Biondetta fell silent.
At her core, Biondetta is just a hardworking girl who wants to do her best for her ‘big brother,’ so mentioning his name usually calms her down. Rosarosa, on the other hand, is so reckless that even the cunning Margarita avoids her. Could it be that she won’t be the brains of the operation this time?
“Fine. While gathering information, I’ll spend time with you and create some memories.”
Biondetta sighed, tilting her head as if concentrating, her eyes still open.
According to ‘Big Brother,’ many insects have multiple eardrums on their legs. Perhaps influenced by that, Biondetta had acquired the skill “Broad-Spectrum Hearing” back when she was a G-rank Quiet Swarm. Many G-rank monsters possess skills that enhance their senses, like Hazel’s bio-sensing or Sally’s enhanced five senses. These skills help them survive.
Now, Biondetta’s “Broad-Spectrum Hearing” has evolved into a high-performance skill that enables her to act as a powerful spy, capable of listening in on all languages. Combined with her unique talent, she could become the ultimate spy. However, it needs to be clarified why she, who never wanted to be apart from ‘Big Brother,’ acquired such infiltration-oriented abilities.
So, she alone would be sufficient for gathering publicly available information.
But this time, they need to collect confidential information.
“Hold on a minute.”
Rosarosa raised her hand.
“Why do we have to act like a married couple? If we go to the Hunter’s Guild, we can get the dungeon information and the money we need!”
This time, they came to Nadina Lezre to conquer Jacqueline’s dungeon, “The Tower of Nadina Lezre.” They need to establish a base in the area and create a foundation for everyone to attack. According to Jacqueline, the forces in “The Tower of Nadina Lezre” are formidable. They primarily specialize in defense, and the chances of counterattacking “Ragnel’s Labyrinth” seem low, but…
So, they infiltrated the town because they couldn’t attack with just the two of us. They need a bridgehead where all 13 of us can resupply. Plus, they must position themselves to maximize profits when they bring down “The Tower of Nadina Lezre.”
That’s why Biondetta, who has exceptional information-gathering abilities, and Rosarosa, who is confident in her social skills and needs time for preparation, are here.
“The people at the Hunter’s Guild are all weaklings who haven’t been able to conquer ‘The Tower of Nadina Lezre’ for hundreds of years. It’s a headache to ask them for information,” Biondetta said, rubbing her temples.
Many of the priestesses of Nanaya have been impatient lately, eager to defeat the Goddess Nanaya for the sake of ‘big brother’s’ peace. They spend their days honing their skills, even in their rooms.
“But you’re right. To make money, we need identification… So maybe going to the Hunter’s Guild isn’t a bad idea,” she muttered, her mind filled with thoughts of serving ‘Big Brother.’
“Haha, you’re in a hurry, aren’t you? Big Brother would be happier if we took our time and enjoyed ourselves. He doesn’t seem to care much about the curse.”
In times like these, she believed ‘big brother’ would be happier if they took their time and enjoyed themselves. But that didn’t apply to Biondetta.
While other priestesses of Nanaya had hobbies or personal goals, Biondetta’s only pleasure was clinging to ‘big brother.’ She minimized the time spent away from him to maximize her time with him. Her constant hurry, though seemingly diligent, was akin to a child rushing through homework to play games—it was ultimately her selfishness.
That’s why Rosarosa would guide her without any reservations.
“Biondetta! You know what? As a hunter, you can make much money by being a corpse-scavenging ‘Crawler.’ It’s perfect for you!”
Rosarosa invited Biondetta to the Hunter’s Guild because she wanted to secure a large sum of money first. It’s said it takes about a year to make a living as a hunter, but Biondetta’s efficiency-focused skills would take less time.
Her efficiency was demonstrated during their ten years of scavenging as “Crawlers.” Biondetta was the top performer among Nanaya’s priestesses in this line of work. She would even declare, “There are no more corpses in the forest today; let’s call it a day,” having collected all the bodies in the vast forest. Then, she would spend her extra time clinging to Yuuto.
While it was cute when she was a bee, it looked more like a role-play now that she had matured into a beautiful woman. But knowing her quirky side made it fun to be around her, even when she was cold.
“Money, identification. Yes, heading there sounds like a good idea. Besides, we’ve mostly gathered the information we need.”
As she said this, she tapped her head with her finger as if refuting something internally. One would think that a spy’s duty at times like this would be to inform their allies properly, but she was an entity completely detached from such coordination.
Well, she would surely inform them if there was truly essential information.
“Exactly. Plus, I want to do something at the Hunter’s Guild.”
“What do you want to do?”
As she said that, the efficiency-obsessed woman started walking without waiting for a response to her question. Rosarosa clung to her shoulder. Times like these made her wish she still had her vine-like body.
However, as if reminiscing about her previous form, Rosarosa crawled up the woman’s body and whispered into her ear.
“Being a Hunter is great because if you’re strong, that’s all you need. Plus, you get to help people and earn their gratitude. After they take down the ‘Tower of Nadina Lezre,’ it would be the perfect opportunity to take over the country.
Biondetta doesn’t factor uncertain elements like ‘gratitude’ or ‘vengeance’ into her decisions. But precisely because she doesn’t worry about those things, they will naturally accumulate around her.
Rosarosa can’t help but look forward to that. She could hear the little vials of poison in her pocket jingling merrily as if excited.
