Chapter 76: Future Plans

～3 months later～

About 3 months have passed since the Magic Baboon was summoned.

During this period, most Star Supremacy clan members were working mainly for the development of Plainevelt village.

At any rate, we were severely understaffed.

The influx of population to Plainevelt after the Ranking Battle exceeded Barbaru’s predictions. Not even I expected that so many people would gather here.

For this reason, Earl Stedrius and guild master Sparz worked together, and stationed the Construction Guilds of Recuria and Miralda in Plannvelt for a while, and were proceeding with the construction of inns, living quarters, outer walls, and so on.

However, the speed of construction could not keep up with the pace of the influx of population, and the Adventurer’s Guild even had to dispatch personnel as part of a quest.

Speaking of constructions, the [Star Supremacy] clan house was built in the royal capital Alraine.

Although the Foret Noir Dungeon is the main clan house, there is currently no ostensible Star Supremacy clan house.

The fact that the Rank 1 clan in the hierarchy didn’t have a base would be quite suspicious, so we decided to renovate a former nobleman’s mansion in Alraine and turn it into a clan house.

The elves who have a subordinate contract with me, act as maids to manage the clan house.

The dwarves said that they wanted to prioritize their work of creating weapons in the dungeon and decided to stay in the dungeon for a while, and the beastfolk had already successfully blended into the beastfolk village.

Of course, they kept the information about the dungeon a secret.

In addition, the Plainevelt village is in the process of being certified as a city with Barbaru as its lord. This move was possible because it was a proposal from Earl Stedrius.

The ulterior motive is to make Ruzark’s faction even more solid, but we will spare no effort in cooperating with him.

Since the establishment of the beastfolk village, Barbaru has been celebrated as the driving force behind the development of the beastfolk village, and it seems that he will be the first beastman to be conferred the title of Baron.

Mare and Cherry, who had acquired the Human Transformation skill, finished their training period with Instructor Shinku, and completed adventurer registration and party registration two months ago.

Although they had created settings such as their upbringings and so on, there are many adventurers who don’t wish to talk about their past, so it didn’t seem like anyone dug too deep into it.

We also asked these two to investigate the demi-humans and beastfolk slaves who were illegally traded.

As for what Black Thunder has been doing, Kinu and I conquered the Alraine dungeon and absorbed the third dungeon core. By the way, the core is called “Urs” and has the appearance of a stuffed rabbit zombie.

As for the Alraine dungeon, since it has already been captured by many other parties, we only strengthened the concealment of the core room. Even after absorbing the core, I entrusted Urs with everything and to continue operating the dungeon as before.

The main reason for absorbing this dungeon was to secure a means of transportation.

It takes about a week to get to Alraine using normal means of transportation. Being able to teleport there in an instant is quite a big deal.

And also regarding the dungeon points, if the dungeon is operated normally, it will be easier to accumulate more points.

Thus far, things seem to be going well, but we haven’t been able to do anything regarding increasing our strength.

For that reason, I asked everyone to gather in the Foret Noir Dungeon to discuss future plans.

「Good job everyone. The last three months have been hectic, but thanks to all of you, the village and the dungeon have been greatly expanded.」

「There were a lot more things than I expected that happened. I almost fainted… Rather, I still can’t believe that I am now a baron.」

「I think you’re the right person! Honestly, I can’t think of anyone other than you, Barbaru. However, I can see that more work is piling up on your desk, so it would be better for you to increase the number of staff to support your work.」

「Yes, it will certainly be tough with the current staff numbers, so Earl Stedrius said he will introduce several capable personnel for the task. So let’s make a decision after meeting them.」

「That’s good then. The renovation of the dungeon camera plaza is also finished, so it seems that even more people will be moving to the village. I’ll leave that part to you.」

「Understood.」

「Um, next is Urs. He’s a new core.」

「I’m Urs, the dungeon core of Alraine Dungeon. Nice to meet y’all.」

The zombie rabbit stuffed animal lowered its head.

Seeing this, Kinu silently hugged Urs.

Kinu seems to like rabbits too.

「Many E to C rank adventurers are exploring the Alraine Dungeon. Thus, as a beginner to intermediate level dungeon, I have entrusted the dungeon management to Urs. But if anything out of the ordinary occurs, please contact me through telepathy.」

「Buha! Got it!」

Urs replied, with only his face slipping out of Kinu’s passionate embrace.

Kinu doesn’t seem to want to let go.

「From here on will be our main subject. It is regarding the future objective of Black Thunder.」

「Nn. There’s also the matter of the demon Zoa. In addition to our goal to become the strongest…」

「That’s right! To be honest, I was astonished to hear that even Kinu-neesan and Shinku-neesan together weren’t a match for that guy…」

「And that is exactly why I think that dungeon capture is the way for us to get stronger. Moreover, it’s an extremely difficult dungeon.」

「Does that mean that we are going to conquer the unexplored Wislo dungeon, the dungeon that Aun-sama has been mentioning about since a long time ago?」

「Yeah. However, I have never been to the Ibrudia Empire.

I’ve only heard rumors and information from adventurers who have been to Wislo Dungeon.

Moreover, I heard that the Arto Kingdom and the Empire have been in a state of cold war for about five years…」

「Indeed… I’ve heard that there have been a lot of unsettling movements lately.」Drake.

「First of all, we have to be able to enter Ibrudia. I’ll consult with Ruzark regarding this.」

After that, I met with the civil servants who were introduced by Earl Stedrius, and formally signed their participation in the Plainevelt city plan and to support Barbaru.

The next day, in order to request a meeting with Ruzark, I contacted the royal castle with a communication-type magic tool, and Ruzark replied, “I was just about to contact you. Please come as soon as possible.”

The designated location was “Golden Grape Arbor Room 206”.

I wondered if something had happened and immediately headed for Alraine.
