Lazy Dungeon Master - Chapter 463

Chapter 463

I looked at the monitor and saw Niku and Toy that were fighting in the arena .  

“Oh, they’re already doing it . ” 

“Kehma, let me see it too . ” 

While saying that, Rokuko sat down beside me without opening the monitor herself .  

She smells good, like a sweet scent of Melon Bread .  

“Rokuko, did you use perfume? Melon Bread scent?” 

“Is those exist? I want one then . ” 

“I don’t know . ” 

“Who had the upper hands?” 

“Hmm, for now, it’s Toy . By the way, when did Niku learn to launch five fireballs at once?” 

I give Nerune a phonograph golem that contain the chant, I wonder if Niku borrowed it when Nerune had already finished with it .  

How diligent she is .  

“There were other chants that I recorded, but I wonder how much of it she remembers . ” 

“Is that so? But, Kehma, I’m betting on Toy, so I will be rooting for her . ” 

“Good luck then, Niku, give it your best . ” 

I cheer for Niku through the monitor . By the way, when I looking at them like this, they show us a really similar expression .  

* 

“Even if you’re a failure, you seem to know one or two things about magic, well, it’s pretty good . But how about physical arts?” 

“I won’t lose . ” 

“Oh? Not even trying to win? So, a failure puppy is just a failure after all?” 

“I won’t let it get over my head . That’s all . ” 

Niku closes her distance to Toy .  

“Slow–” 

“naive…” 

Toy reacts to Niku and thrusts her club . However, Niku catches the club and then spins it around to bash her . Toy’s defenseless back got slammed twice .  

“[jump]” 

Toy jumped with skill from an impossible position . It’s the skill features that allow her to execute that absurd movement . Basically, it’s a physical skill that improves your jumping ability, but it can be used for emergency evasion .  

“using a skill? Expected, weakling . ” 

“Hm… it was a convenient skill; how can you not use it? Only an idiot will refrain from it, oh wait, there’s one puppy who did . ” 

Toy snorts and laughs .  Niku glares at her .  

However, their eyes are locked to each other, trying to find an opponent’s opening .  

“#######,#####,###,##–[Curse dance]” 

“##,#############–[Fireball]” 

Niku slams five fireballs into the dark-colored, disastrous spear that Toy unleashed, destroying it .  

“Ahaha, could it be that’s all the spell you can use? As expected from failures, you have a very limited number of moves, huh?” 

“Not showing it, why should I?” 

“That’s true . But I need to show Kehma-sama my resourcefulness, so he understands the extent of my ability, so I shouldn’t hesitate to use it, right? ###,############### [cast pillar] . ” 

The ground cracked . A black pillar the size of a grown man grew out of it—a purple haze created around it, giving it an unapproachable atmosphere .  

“Don’t worry, this one doesn’t have the ability to kill – it’s just a cursed so anyone that touches it will be controlled .  Ufufu, that’s right, would it be fun to make you do sexy dance?” 

“####,###########,####—-[summon skeleton] . ” 

Niku summons a bone soldier to hold the tower . The skeleton soldier begins to do belly dance, but let’s ignore that .  

“Oooh? Summon spell? You seem to have the basics down, don’t you?” 

“I’m going to get serious . ” 

“Oh, dear . Well, then I’ll be half-serious . ” 

“then, I will be half-half-serious . ” 

“is that so? I will be half-half-half-serious then . ” 

They started to exchange childlike talks – no, wait, they’re actually children – and glare at each other .  

“Fine! I’ll… I’ll deal with you in one thirty-second (1/32)of seriousness . ” 

“Then I’m, um, um, I’m one-sixteenth . See that? I can also divide by double digits . Master taught me . ” 

Hmph, Nik proudly blows her nose, and Toy puts her hand over mouth and laughs a small “pfft” at her .  

“Kukuku, you’re twice as serious as I am!” 

“?, Isn’t 32 times two is 64? You suck at math . ” 

“Haha! Wait for a second! Puahaha, It’s a fraction, my dear puppy! Oh, but I can’t blame her for not being able to do elementary level arithmetic, can I?” 

The bigger the denominator – that is, the bigger the number to be divided, the smaller the result, but unfortunately, Niku hasn’t studied fractions and decimal points .  

In this world, if you have the ability to count integers, that is more than enough . (Many adults cannot do multiplication and division properly . ) 

“I’m not sure why, but I feel like I’m being ridiculed . I’m going to hit you . ” 

“I’m not making fun of you, it’s just the fact that you are an idiot . Ahahaha!” 

Then their attacks and defense begin continued .  

Niku doesn’t hesitate to thrust her wooden knife, aiming for Toy face . The aim is her silly laughing face, but of course, Toy avoids it by kicking away the blade .  

The next moment Niku kick aim at Toy’s club . Anticipating this, Toy drops the club and try to aim for Niku’s legs joints .  

Toy abandons the club and delivers a kick to her knee’s back – her one leg is lifted, but Niku does not collapse . Golem Assist . A secret Toy doesn’t know makes reality turned out different than it “should” be .  

There is a slights moment of surprise . But after that very moment, Niku swung down her kicked-up leg back down on Toy’s head .  

“ugggh!” 

“Sorry, I faked the opening, and you bite it . I did that on purpose . ” 

“Damn you, damn you failure dog . ” 

“I’ve been training in the Demon Kingdom . By the way, what shall I call you? A Loser Dog? A good name, right?” 

“How could it be good? What kind of a cheat did you use to make a failed project to become a winning dog?” 

“Complete control of your body, and don’t let your opponent use you . This is the essence of the Demon King arts . ” 

“Tsk, it’s the damned Demon King’s arts…!” 

Toy knows . That the goal of the Demon King arts is ‘complete self-control’ . You can say It is the ultimate selfishness that is not influenced by anyone or anything . If one managed reaches the extreme peak, they can control his body, mind, and even their soul as they wish .  

It was Niku’s bluff, but that was the kind of skill that the Demon King arts used .  Toy didn’t expect Niku to be able to use it that well .  

“Then I’ll take you seriously this time, too . The Chaos School will swallow everything . Use what you can use, even your enemies . A thousand and one changes, all things are in torrents – [Kaleidoscope]!” 

The next moment, Toy divides into four .  

“How about this? Failure puppy?” 

“Isn’t this simply a technique for creating three illusions–?” 

“The presences are perfect on all four bodies, right? that’s the difference . ” 

“The original technique of what school was it…… . . I forget . Anyway, it’s a secret technique . ” 

And then one by one, they spoke to Niku in turn .  

…No matter how you look at it, there are four of them .  

“”””  Let’s go, shall we?”””” 

And then the four Toy come at Niku, all at once– 

“…C, there . ” 

— but Niku hit the second from the right without hesitation . She punched the main body Toy with her elbow .  

The three clones disappear .  

“Gah, ughh! Did you just find me in one shot!?” 

“You’re need to concentrate to control your clones, which makes it much easier to hit you . it was an excellent move, though . ” 

“…tell me, how did you know?” 

“Believe it or not, it’s luck . This is my lucky day . So, do it again, and I might miss it next time, okay?” 

“…liar . ” 

Toy laughed enviously and flopped down .  

“Well, let’s just end it as me losing today . It’s also the role of a junior to follow their senior . ” 

“Good decision, Now, Toy… bow down . ” 

“…like this?” 

Toy bow down quietly . And then Niku climbs onto her, and stand in her head . Maid dog on maid dog .  

“…Mm . It’s a moderate ride . ” 

“…n . ” 

Surprisingly, Toy accepts it without complaining, but it’s no surprise since she’s on the losing side . That was the way it goes for both of them .  

Niku put her weight on Toy’s head a couple of times as a reminder and got off Toy .  

“Let’s get back, Toy . ” 

“understood~~ . ” 

Toy obeyed Niku’s order meekly . She brushed the dirt from her clothes and head with a flick of her hand and followed behind Niku with a pitter-patter .  

This was the end of the ranking ritual .  

By the way, Niku’s earring is also a cloth golem that Kehma had prepared for her .  

I’m sure you’ve known about gramophone golems, hidden inside that earing is the same mechanism to produce sound . Its purpose is to send a voice to Niku via dungeon function [communication] since she’s not a dungeon monster .    

A small voice that can only be heard by Niku through the golem was Kehma’s voice . Just now, Kehma secretly delivered the following conversation to Niku .  

“Hey Rokuko, if you had to guess, then which one of those four is the real one? A to D from left to right . ” 

“eh, What? Well…C?” 

It’s not her own victory . Niku didn’t call Toy a ‘loser’ because she realized that .  

TL notes: 

Why math!! 

It’s hard to write technical terms in English!! If I do make a mistake on that sentence about denominator, please write down the right one in the comments, PLEASE! I’m struggling so hard in that sentence that I had to use google translate .
