"Now, if you don't mind, I would like to ask you about the fight you had with the boss last night," Yahiko said. "I have some predictions about the creature you faced, but I need to confirm it."
Ryan also wanted to learn more about the creatures in the other dungeons, so talking now would help him in the short term. While Ryan still wanted to work alone, he didn't need to work against Yahiko.
"Titania, huh," Yahiko said. "As expected, we didn't help you last night because Oberon, the king of fairies, left his dungeon and tried to interfere in your fight. Just as I mentioned before, I held him back and his army in the South."
"You failed at killing him?" Ryan asked.
"Fighting a boss without leaving this domain is possible, but very unlikely," Yahiko replied. "Right now, I don't have someone I can trust with all the power of the dungeon master system. A single instant is enough to cause a lot of trouble and put the entire population at risk. That is why I used summoned monsters to stop Oberon."
"Is that so… By the way, why did those four dungeons appear around Tokyo?" Ryan asked.
"I assume they want my power as a dungeon master," Yahiko said. "With my domain stone, the bosses would have the perfect terrain to create a new base on our planet."
Ryan nodded since it made a lot of sense. He saw more than a few kids playing around, and it looked like they never saw a monster in their lives. While Yahiko probably had to pay something to have such a high defense level, it was worth the cost.
"I believe you still want to clear those dungeons," Yahiko said. "As you already know, I watched you from afar and heard a lot from Haruna, so I can understand that you would rather work alone, but for the sake of efficiency, we should split the work."
That wasn't a bad idea. While Ryan liked a challenge, there was no need to make things difficult. Besides, he was a stranger in those lands, so at the very least, he should consider Yahiko's proposal in the matter.
"I guess that is fine," Ryan shrugged. "What do you have in mind?"
"Right now, the most troublesome opponent is Oberon since he can control the vermillion birds, also known as Suzaku," Yahiko said. "So, we should deal with him as soon as possible before Titania finds a way to intervene in the fight. While you just cleared her dungeon, we can't underestimate them. I am not a bright strategist, and while I have some experience while fighting, I never cleared a dungeon, so the best thing I can do is give you some soldiers that will obey all your commands."
Ryan sighed… that wasn't what he had in mind. Until now, he only had the experience of a single large-scale battle while 'leading' people. That was when he was facing the succubus, and Alissa began to fly to fight the bosses. During that time, all he did was shout angry and call her soldiers' names because they couldn't fight while keeping their attention on their surroundings.
"I am not someone who is appropriate to lead others," Ryan shrugged.
