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 52: At the Inn

“Nadinalezre… this is quite a nice place.”

After ten years, returning to civilization feels less like nostalgia and more like stepping into a theme park. The cobblestone pathways lined with wooden buildings hardly evoke memories of Japan.

The streets bustle with people, reminding me somewhat of the cities from my previous life. However, the noise here isn’t from purposeful pedestrians like in Japan but rather from street performers, drunks, and their hecklers.

Yet, the center of attention here is none other than me. Or, more accurately, the priestesses I’ve brought along: Anima, Hazel, and Delilah, members of our current mission.

You’d think a group of four tourists wouldn’t stand out in this town, but their beauty alone draws eyes.

“…All these people are starting to get on my nerves,” Delilah muttered under her breath, her gaze darting restlessly under the scrutiny of onlookers.

“Yeah. Maybe after this job, we’ll ask Rosarosa to show us some nice places,” I suggested, to which Delilah nodded in agreement. Yeah, it’s a good idea. Getting some sun might help lift her spirits.

“…Oh, looks like this is our inn.”

I arrived at the location marked on the map prepared by Rosarosa and Biondetta. Opening the large wooden door, I found an establishment more akin to a hotel with a proper entrance than a mere inn.

The presence of carpets, though incomparable to those in Japan, hinted at the building’s high-end status.

I approached the hotel receptionist.

“We’re here on Rosarosa Vinci’s recommendation.”

“A suite for four, the highest quality, correct?”

The receptionist replied with a professional smile. However, I wonder if I should teach them a bit more about how to spend money wisely.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Here is your room key. Very beautiful people accompany you.”

“No, no, not really…”

As a Japanese, I reflexively downplayed the compliment about my companions. But at that moment, there was a loud bang next to me.

“I’m… not beautiful?!”

I turned in a hurry to find Anima trembling behind me. I faced the receptionist again.

“Cough. Ah, my apologies. They are indeed extremely beautiful.”

The exchange of information among Nanaya’s priestesses was swiftly conducted while Wito was bathing.

“Next time, we should also check the bathhouse information, Rosarosa. It’s not always possible to have Biondetta wipe him down.”

Rosarosa and Biondetta had returned to Nadinaresle to woo Ivurii. However, they were not part of the tower conquest team, so they stayed on the lower floors.

Biondetta was chosen to wipe down Wito simply because she wouldn’t attend meetings if they were held in the same building as Wito. Although there was a bathhouse, the thought of Wito sharing the same waters with other men was intolerable for the priestesses.

Thus, the information exchange continued at night in a private chamber among Rosarosa, Anima, Hazel, and Delilah.

“I tried to accommodate us at the palace, you know? It seems fine for just me, but apparently, they can’t host unknown men,” Rosarosa said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

“That’s because they don’t trust us enough,” another priestess remarked.

“Too disrespectful. What’s the name of this person?” asked Delilah.

However, no one responded to her query, and their distrust towards Ivurii grew.

“It can’t be helped! It’s all about traditions and such! He’s not a bad guy,” Rosarosa defended.

“So, he’s likely to become this land’s ‘Agent,’ right?”

“Yes! Absolutely.”

An Agent… someone who would govern in Wito’s place as he conquers the world. Naturally, if there are no issues, it’s easier to just use the local rulers.

“Well, we can take our time with that. First, we need to focus on Nadinaresle’s giant tower,” a priestess suggested.

“I got into earning DP in the last Grabsdread Island conquest battle! We also want to recruit Jacqueline as a member fully. So, have we decided on a strategy for the conquest?”

“There’s a possibility that Delilah’s firepower might not be sufficient. From what I heard, her limits are quite slim… However, if Hazel and Delilah launch an indiscriminate attack together, we might win without letting any enemy face our lord, My Lord,” Anima replied to Rosarosa’s question.

“Right. Also, we think Jacqueline might be controlled by the enemy’s Dungeon Master and appear as an enemy, but if we defeat her, then it’s all good,” another added.

The only concern was this. If they invaded the giant tower, Jacqueline would be forcibly drawn into the battle by the Dungeon Master’s authority.

“Well, we have measures against sleep attacks. It won’t be too bad. Surely.”

With Anima’s final word, the meeting of the four came to a close.
