Chapter 429
I came up with good countermeasures for the assassin .
Just like Eleca who specialized in managing the dungeon, I also can summon a monster that specializes himself to be an escort .
For example, a ghost that hides and protects you from behind, I’m not sure about their ability to take damage in my place though .
Or, a spider, even better a poisonous spider he will be practical in combat too .
Shadow type monster also a great choice since they can hide in the shadow .
Yes, as dungeon master I can prepare a wide variety of monster to guard myself from assassin, there’s no way I won’t make use of this privilege .
So now I need to consider what monster will be a good candidate for that role .
“But when we are in the village, the adventurers will detect it, therefore you need something that you can insist that [it has been tamed] . ”
“Oh, you are right, want to try to summon a shadow wolf?”
“Goblin are better than that, also since they are categorized as spirit, it did not cost you a meal if you supply it with magic . ”
…Before Gobusuke was eating bread, but it turns out that didn’t need it?
“okay, want to summon shadow goblin?”
“I don’t think it work like that, you can’t just put [shadow] on everything… ah, goblin fighting power is poor too, so it won’t make a good bodyguard . ”
Oh? This is surprising, I thought Rokuko will be happy if I choose goblin, or rather you’re the one who recommended a goblin, but you just denied it .
“In any case, if you can command spirit type monster skillfully you can insist that you had mastered [Spirit User] skill, right?”
“Spirit huh…”
I continue to look inside the DP catalogue .
…ah, a Dragon! Come to think of it there’s a rumor that I managed to make a dragon my followers . Then I can brush it off as it’s the dragon that I tamed, and I can use him as my escort too . But it cost tons of DP, and it’s also stand out, okay as expected, rejected .
“Since [Flame Caverns] are our neighbor, should we use fire spirit instead?”
“It also would be cheaper if I ask Ontentoo to summon it for me, but considering its reliability I think it must summon it myself . ”
I don’t think that it will betray me even if it was summoned by Ontentoo, but I’m worried that it will leak my dungeon critical info .
“Kehma is known as expert on Earth magic, how about Gnome?”
“Four great spirit are gnomes, undines, sylphs, and salamander, right? to think of it Ontentoo is a salamander…”
I browse the catalogue, and I found it, a dwarf with a hat, it’s surprisingly expensive . I should expect this much from great spirit .
“also, it must be a lower-class spirit, so you can insist that you have tamed it . ”
“That’s true… let’s see… dryad, nymph, genie, korobokkuru, banshee … oh, I wonder if spriggan would be a good idea . ”
“I’m not sure about that… I think if we want to use spirit, we should not use one from DP summon function . ”
Do you mean something like Eleca spirit ball form when she uses [specialization]? Well, she is a spirit .
This gets too confusing because there’s too many to chose to .
“… Rokuko, want to use the gacha?”
“eh? Can I?”
I think at a time like it, it’s better to leave it to Rokuko’s luck . She has proven it to me what she will get something good, at worst if we missed then we can take a look at the DP catalog once again .
“Until now Rokuko has pulled something that suitable as escort, for example, Phoenix and Mimic Panda . ”
“Phenny and Pakko… also Dia, they can be used as shield, right?”
To think of it, that Diamond Jewel turtle also an anomaly .
By the way, Dia is a magician type . Her affinity with magic is high .
“… Let’s try the 100 . 000DP gacha for the time being, just wish for something that can be used as escort, whatever the form is . ”
“Okay! Let’s go! 100 . 000DP gacha, start!”
Rokuko presses the gacha button, and the usual magic circle appeared .
*Kyuin*… the magic circle was compressed until finally, it was reduced to a size of 30 cm .
Then a palm-sized blue lizard fell to the floor .
“…… . . Lizard?”
“I think it’s a dragon!”
“Really?…… . . no, since it’s Rokuko… it’s possible…”
“A blue-scaled dragon, maybe a blue dragon? Or is it a water dragon? I can’t tell by its size, it also doesn’t have any wing . ”
The blue lizard turned its head to me and walked shakily to my feet, its legs bent, its belly touches the ground, and its yellow eyes are closed .
“Oh, nice to meet you?”
I held out my hand, and he gave a little lick with his blue tongue and licked the tip of my finger, and then it climbs into my hand .
What a friendly lizard .
…Even if the tongue is blue, but it’s not poisonous, right? It looks fine, I hope…
“Kehma, you can talk to it?”
“It didn’t really say anything, but yeah, I can understand it to some extent . ”
“hmm, then your name is Gonta!”
When Rokuko gives it a name, Gonta happily dancing in my hand .
“Why Gonta?”
“It’s one of the name I prepared when I own a dragon someday . ”
“… Why Gonta?”
I wonder if the name inspired by Gon the dragon, it’s okay if Gonta is male… but I cannot differentiate between male and female lizard .
“the question is can Gonta serves as my escort?”
When I said that Gonta blinks his eyes .
“Gonta, you can cast magic!?”
He then sticks his little blue tongue .
“Well I don’t know that, but as dungeon monster I guess I can order you to . ”
“Just let him try it, I will prepare the practice target . ”
Rokuko pulled out a strawman, and set it for attack target .
“Now go! Attack!”
I pointed at the strawman and told Gonta to attack, Gonta set his eyes on the target and in the next moment… *Kororinn* the practise target is frozen inside the ice .
It’s took less than a second for him to execute that . It was about the same speed that he took to open and close his eyes .
…
But what the hell?
“You did it! That’s my Gonta!”
“Not just did it, this is your strongest pet ever, Rokuko . ”
Gonta is blinking his eyes .
… Yeah, he will do just fine as an escort .
But… what are you really?
It seems I still need to consult Ontentoo after all .
TL note
Ontentoo, did I remember him right? His name is written initially as Itetsu in raw .
At first, I consider to use his original name, but then again… he is a minor character(now), it’s not like he will get mentioned in every 2 chapters or something .
Leave your comment down below if you think this need to be changed .
精霊使い(Seirei Tsukai) = Spirit user = Spiritualist? That’s kind of wrong… . yeah… I just want to tsukkomi this part, don’t mind this…
コロボックル korobokkuru … I almost thought this is carbuncle, it turned out this is a japanese spirit tree, I remember seeing it as horohoro guardian spirit from shaman king .
Gon the dragon, I don’t know what your local manga called it, but for me, it’s just “GON” . I just literally translate what Kehma is saying in that sentence .
