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!

The Nadine’s guild was made of old wood, perhaps because it didn’t have a day’s rest despite its habit of making a decent amount of money.

However, its unchanging appearance became symbolic at some point, and it played a role in informing the people of the history of the Hunters’ Guild.

…Shelz Whitechurch, an S-Rank hunter from Nadine, had scribbled on the beams, saying, “I’m going to be the greatest hunter in the world,” and the rumor that it was still there had backed up its power. It was a baseless rumor, though.

In any case, there was one other thing that never changed in a guild that had been around for so long.

…That would be Merxedes Tot sitting in front of the bulletin board.

◇◇◇

“A giant tower dungeon attack? So that’s why you came here to invite me?”

Merxedes Tot tried to smile confidently at the sudden demand, but he couldn’t hide his unease and wiped away the cold sweat dripping down his head.

…The day after the discussion at the tavern, Biondetta, Rosarosa, and Alan had all visited the guild to invite Merxedes Tot to a dungeon attack.

However, Rosarosa was smiling innocently, Biondetta was staring into the distance without participating in the conversation, and Alan looked down awkwardly. No matter how Tot looked at them, they all looked like they had an ulterior motive.

(Are you trying to call me out and sneak up on me? I don’t remember doing anything.)

Tot was suspicious, but Rosarosa’s voice bounced as if to wipe it away.

“Yeah, that’s right. That’s why I’m saying that! Let’s be friends, okay? …Wait, Tot-kun, are you always in the guild? I thought it’d be pointless if we didn’t see each other today.”

Her voice echoed very well throughout the guild, and the four of them, a rare combination to begin with, drew even more attention.

A murmur of “Why are those two teaming up with Tot?” erupted from the crowd.

“I-I’m not here all the time. Hunters need to look up information on the guild board.”

Tot replied to Rosarosa’s statement with a firm tone of voice.

To accurately describe Tot’s life, he does work, but it’s more accurate to say that he spends most of his other time in front of the bulletin board.

He preferred sending advice to new hunters instead of working as hunters just because they didn’t want him to.

“Hmm. But you didn’t know about the attack on the giant tower dungeon?”

Rosarosa smirked as if to tease him.

“But you’re all here to tell me! That’s fine!”

Tot’s shoulders stiffened as he retorted, “This much is within the scope of our chat. Rosarosa was smiling, and we’ve had a conversation before.”

But at that moment…

“U-Umm, we know, so I think all veteran hunters know.”

Alan retorted, terrified.

Alan, who was timid initially, was a little aggressive toward Tot like this.

In the first place, Alan hated Tot, who hadn’t even realized he was being avoided and was just making a big face at a rookie with a weaker position. He also thought it would be a problem if they became friends and got tangled up with each other every time they met in the future.

“Huh? What’s with you guys? …And you guys, too. Besides, just because you got to D-Rank in a week doesn’t mean you can put me, your senior, in that ridiculously named party, right?”

Tot’s face flinched at Alan’s insult momentarily, but he soon lost interest when he saw Alan hiding in the shadows and blamed Rosarosa, the party’s center.

But even that kind of intimidation did not affect Rosarosa at all.

“That’s not it! Geez! Listen to what I’m saying! I don’t want you to let us into the party; I want us to join the party! Besides, our Mikomikozu is a women-only party!”

Mikomi Kozu was the name of the party Rosarosa had decided on in two seconds, consisting of Rosarosa and Biondetta.

But more importantly, what surprised Alan was that he would be joining Tot’s party, which meant that the party’s leader was the Merxedes Tot in front of him.

“H-Hey, Rosarosa, I didn’t hear anything.”

Alan, too, raised his voice, trying to stop Rosarosa.

(You’re going to make this guy the leader of the party? You’re joking.)

It was true that Merxedes Tot was rare in that he had been a hunter for a long time as a solo player, but that wasn’t the case when it came to whether he was strong enough to make up for that.

A D-Rank for twenty years is not challenging a difficult request.

But when Rosarosa heard Alan’s words, she spun her head around and stared emotionlessly at Alan with both her big eyes.

“What? I didn’t hear. Rosarosa said she’d invite Tot-kun. Tot-kun is the most veteran, so of course, Tot-kun will be the leader.”

Rosarosa answered as if she hadn’t realized Alan’s intentions at all.

Hearing those words, Alan, unaware of Rosarosa’s true nature, was at a loss for words.

After all, there was no way she could tell the innocent girl, “This is a pain, so let’s avoid it.”

…Actually, Rosarosa was thinking of something even more evil.

(I’ll have to put up with their darlingness… After all, if I wanted to save Jacqueline, I’d be in trouble if I succeeded in a dungeon attack.)

The reason RosaRosa included these two in the party was to ensure that the dungeon attack failed.

And to do that, they had to break down the plan at some point in time, saying it was impossible.

However, if he killed all of them, it wouldn’t be called off. If the danger level was too high, it could lead to the result of inviting more soldiers.

That’s why Rosarosa had thought of using her own “Poison Conversation” skill well and bringing the operation to a postponement.

However, while her “Poison Conversation” skill could be used by ordering poison to activate in a time lag, it wasn’t possible to start it remotely freely.

In that case, if the operation schedule deviated even a little, she might be unable to blame the poison on the giant tower. To reduce the danger, she volunteered to be part of the attack on the big building.

(Besides, I’d like to see the Hunter’s Dungeon Battle Attack right in front of me at least once. I might end up on the receiving end someday! …But this time, I’ll have to think about what to do next and do it properly!)

However, failing to participate in the operation would affect our reputation. This wasn’t just a matter of appearance.

Nanaya’s priestess needed to control the power of the surface world in preparation for the “real negotiation” that would eventually come. She couldn’t afford to stumble here.

(…And so! Rosarosa went easy on Tot, and to keep her reputation from plummeting, she wanted to add the two bad guys to the party… and the person in charge was Tot! Clap, clap, clap!)

However, Tot nodded elatedly, oblivious to her intentions…or perhaps happy to be relied on.

“Well, fine. I’ll participate.”

In the first place, solo hunters were one of the few in the guild. In terms of efficiency, there was only a little point in playing solo hunters.

Hunters who work solo are either martial artists who want to improve themselves or weirdos who use divine protection that can only be used solo.

But Tot was not one of them. He was banished from his original party. In other words, he was either useless or a nose pincher. If he was invited to a party like that, it was only natural that he would go along with it.

But that was the kind of power Rosarosa needed.

“Thank you! I wanted to make up with you at least once! Biondetta-chan’s lariatched on to you.”

“…I forgot about that already.”

“Ahaha! You’re such a liar.”

Incidentally, Tot had initially considered retaliating against Lariat… That was an obvious thought for a hunter.

If you underestimate them, you can be attacked back from the Dungeon.

But after that day, when he saw Biondetta complete all the subjugation requests instantly, he’d given up, saying, “Now that I think about it, it’s not like I’ve lost just because I took a surprise attack.”

…Just as the conversation was closing, Alan suddenly cut in.

“Wait a minute! Have you two ever fought before? It’s important to make up, but if you lose coordination at a party, your life will be in danger!”

At this point, Alan must have cut in, grasping the end of his sentence with the thought that he might be able to remove Tot from the party. But that wasn’t enough to stop Rosarosa anymore.

Rosarosa turned to Alan, moving as slowly and sluggishly as possible, which was unthinkable given her usual brisk movements.

“Huh? Then what part of you beat Tot-kun, Alan-kun? Why won’t you listen to Rosarosa-Rosarosa-chan’s request and join us?”

The smile had vanished from Rosarosa’s face as she looked at Alan.

“W-Well…”

When Alan stammered in fear, Rosarosa flashed him a grin.

“Come on. That’s why you’re no good, Alan. You said you saved my life yesterday, but you complained if something bad happened. But don’t worry about it! We can all get along from here on out.”

Rosarosa laughed loudly and happily as she said that, and not one of them could say anything after that, so the place was disbanded.

She had nothing to intimidate or command in a loud voice.

However, with only the splendor of her appearance and the ingenuity to expose her emotions, she created an atmosphere that said, “It’s right for Rosarosa to be happy. If Rosarosa is sad, it’s a failure.”

…And with the atmosphere still bad, a party for conquering the giant tower was formed.

Rosarosa wasn’t seriously angry, of course.

If she were aiming to cross the dungeon with anyone other than Nanaya’s shrine maidens in the first place, she would use her cheerfulness to improve the atmosphere, and she wouldn’t ask these two for help.

But…

(Ah, geez! It’s so funny! All humans are just as stupid as I thought!)

Rosarosa loved watching such petty people fight.
