Chapter 152: Floor Supervisor

「Shadow Dungeon?」Drake.

「Don’t you think it would be interesting to have an even more difficult dungeon after clearing a super difficult dungeon?」

「It’s exciting even from an adventurer’s point of view! Imagine all the treasure chests we can get!!」Drake.

「Only you two would think like that. There are very few ordinary adventurers who would happily jump into a place full of danger.」Nelfie.

「Hmm, now that you mention it…」

「In that case, why don’t we create something that would motivate the adventurers?」Shinku.

「What do you think would be good specifically?」

「Hmm… How about we let them know the rewards before they even start the challenge, such as “When you conquer each floor, you will obtain high-rarity equipment.” Or something like that.」Shinku.

Oh! That’s a pretty good idea. People’s greed is an amazing thing. If there is a promise of a reward equal to the risk you take, there will be many who would be motivated by that alone.

「That’s perfect! In addition, if you can choose one out of three rewards for each cleared floor, even if you withdraw, it serves as motivation to challenge it again next time!」

「However, the level of difficulty of the Plainevelt dungeon had risen to the point that ordinary adventurers could not conquer it…」Irs.

「That’s fine. According to the report, I heard that a party has recently conquered Hydra on the 25th floor, so it’s possible that they’ll reach the 30th floor in a few months, which is the current highest floor.」

「Nn. Also, the adventurers who challenge the Wislo dungeon in the Ibrudia Empire seem to be of a higher level than the adventurers in the Arto Kingdom.」Kinu.

「That’s true as well. Rumors about the Plainevelt Dungeon are spreading to other countries, so adventurers from other countries will come after hearing those rumors. Those adventurers will probably be familiar with dungeon capture, and it’s better to assume that their level will be reasonably high. Moreover, considering the battle with the demons which will occur in 5 years time, it would be better to keep the difficulty level high.」

「Umu. Aun’s idea was to create a super-difficulty dungeon that surpasses the Wislo dungeon, in the first place.」Ars.

「Exactly! So, let’s adopt Shinku’s idea and not hold back on the dungeon remodeling!」

「Um, so what exactly do we help with?」Drake.

「Oh yeah. Come to think of it, I haven’t explained that yet. I think it will take a considerable amount of time to create the floors in Foret Noir due to the increased difficulty. That’s why I want the members here to help with the remodeling as the “supervisors of each floor”. I want every person to take charge of one floor and create a floor with the highest degree of difficulty you can think of. In which case, we’ll naturally end up with a wide variety of high-difficulty floors, right?」

「Are you serious!? That sounds like a lot of fun, bro!!」

「Of course! Also, considering the creation of a residence area for all the clan members of Star Supremacy, I think that this plan should be done while taking in everyone’s opinion. That’s why I’m thinking of gathering all of Star Supremacy in two days’ time and sharing with them about our future plans.」

「I think that’s a great idea. The Elves would surely like to create an environment where it is easy to move around as waiters and messengers, and the Dwarves are also very particular about their forge.」

「Indeed. So, please gather everyone in two days. At that time, I’ll announce the person in charge of each floor and those who will support you.」

「In that case, I’ll inform everyone about it.」Ars.

After informing the core members about our future plan, I went to the core room of Foret Noir, remodeled the conference room floor together with Ars to create a floor where everyone could gather.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

「Everyone, thank you for coming today! Let’s begin the 3rd Labyrinth Remodeling Conference right away.」

Two days later, over 30 clan members gathered around a ridiculously large round table. Not only the dungeon cores, but also the elves, dwarves, beastfolk, as well as dungeon monsters that can understand human language, such as Mare, Cherry, and Yaou.

I used a round table because I wanted the participants to be able to see everyone’s faces and let them know that everyone has an equal voice in this meeting.

「The reason why I have gathered everyone here is for no other reason than to convey the direction of our future as the Star Supremacy Clan and to request your help towards that end. I will accept questions, so if you have any doubts, you may raise your hand and ask. I would like to hear everyone’s opinions.」

Everyone nodded silently. It seemed like there were many who were a little nervous.

Fufufufu… let’s paint an expression of surprise then!

「First, I will tell you about our future objective. In a nutshell, we will create the world’s most difficult dungeon by connecting the Foret Noir dungeon and the Plainevelt dungeon. And the theme will be… “Phantom Castle”!」

「A castle!?」Drake.

「Oh! Thank you for the good reaction, Drake. That’s right, a castle! We will use the dungeon function to change the exterior to a huge castle.」

Barbaru raised his hand while everyone was stunned.

「Aun-san, if I may? Why a castle? I imagine it will cost quite an amount of dungeon points to create it…」

「Hmm… Don’t you think it has a sense of adventurous romance to it? Moreover, intruders will feel an amazing sense of intimidation.」

A number of people looked a little shocked, but romance is important, you know! It comes with a burst of excitement and motivation!

I mean, every man would have wanted to have his own castle at some point in life. And I am also a man who has that desire without exception. And with the ability and dungeon points to make it happen, the no option not to do it does not exist!

「So, why is the castle called “Phantom”?」

「Ah, about that… If we change the exterior of the Foret Noire Dungeon, a gigantic castle will suddenly appear in the Forest of Eternal Darkness, right? What’s more, it’s a “castle you can see but can’t enter”.」

「I see. It certainly deserves to be called a phantom castle!」

「And what a cool name!」Drake.

「I suppose men are creatures who love that sort of thing. Though, I do think it sounds cool as a woman too…」

「It’s the best name, right?」

「Nn. I think it’s good.」

「Indeed. As expected of Aun-sama!」

「And so I’m going to spread the name of the Foret Noir Dungeon to the outside world as “Phantom Castle”. Well then, I’ll announce the area production supervisors. First of all, I’d like to leave the clan member’s residence area to the elves and the beastfolk.」

「「「Yes.」」」

What a good smile! After all, it’s exciting to be able to build your own base! Their sense of architecture was already proven when they created a meeting room for Foret Noir. I’m sure they will do a great job.

「Next, the dwarves will be in charge of the workshop area for producing weapons and accessories.」

「「Leave it to us!」」

The dwarves were already producing weapons and armor at the workshop in Foret Noir, and they were able to produce even blue rarity armor. By putting it in the treasure chests of the Plainevelt Dungeon and selling it to the armor shop in the city, it contributed considerably to the procurement of funds and the saving of dungeon points.

However, it seems that their goal is to create and improve Black Thunder’s main weapon, so I hope they continue to hone their skills. That goal would also require a better workshop. So, let’s use up the dungeon points that they saved up with their contributions until now and use it as an investment for the future.

「Finally, I will announce the supervisors and the assistants of each floor. From today onwards, the supervisors will also be able to use dungeon points within the limits I have allowed. And this is the list!」

As I said that, the banner I prepared beforehand rolled down from above.
