Alright, now that we’d decided where to stay, time for the Dungeon Battle meeting .
It was a secret, so we were summoned over to the capital’s central adventurer guild .
We were using me being given a nominated commission after having become a B-Rank as the reason, so it wasn’t unnatural at all for me to go there .
I had a duty to keep commissions confidential, so that’d also be a reason to not tell anyone about it .
In other words, using me accepting the commission to disguise the Dungeon Battle preparation was optimal . Everyone in my party, [The Dancing Dolls Pavilion Group (Temp Name)], entered the adventurer guild’s doors . We headed straight into the meeting room .
“Yo, Kehma-san! It’s been a while!”
And since I was summoned by the adventurer guild, that effectively meant Misha had summoned me .
“Yo, Misha . No sleep today for you?” “I just woke up, tahahahanya~”
“And that’s how it should be, Misha . ”
I gave Misha a high five and shook her hand . She and I greeted each other like we were best friends . Kindred spirits~
“Where’s Haku-san?”
“Oh, pretty sure she’s gonna be a bit~ . The client’s already here though, so wanna start nyow?”
“… By the client, you mean the rabbit-type core?” “Yeah, what about it?”
“Did they use humanization?”
“They can’t…”
“So what you’re saying is that they’re a rabbit?”
“So tasty looking nya…”
“No, you can’t eat my client… can it talk?”
“Oh, don’t worry . It’s a talking rabbit, after all~” A talking rabbit, huh . Oh, but I’ve already talked with a snake, frog, and a slug, so I guess I shouldn’t sweat the details?
Still though, I can’t help but wonder how the rabbit was able to ask Haku-san for help .
“Alright, guess I’ll go get your client~”
Saying that, Misha left the room for a moment before returning . She was carrying an orange rabbit inside a birdcage… It was an ordinary-sized rabbit, yep . As soon as the rabbit saw Rokuko, he oh-so-cutely raised his front leg to greet her .
“Nkyuu! If it isn’t you No . 695, Rokuko! It’s been nkuuite a while~” “It has, No . 629 . Why’d you come in that?”
“Nkyuu . Becaaause this pink cat beastkin kept coming and looking like she was gonna eat me but doesn’t when I’m in this nkyuu… oooh, the blood lust…” When I glanced over to Misha, she was drooling .
I took the time to check out Meat and she was staring at the rabbit like she was going to hunt it .
As for Ichika, well… you can imagine . He was already cooked in her eyes .
“Come on you guys, that’s our client… don’t try to eat him . ”
“I’m ashamed nya, but it’s instincts! I can’t suppress my appetite…!”
“This is the only time I’ll share an opinion with her…”
“I-I have to deny myself? But it’s so rare I bet it’d taste outa this world!”
Is this even going to be possible? We’ll have to frustrate the Demon King faction before eat him out of deliciousness .
“Kyuaaah… save me, Rokukooo! I don’t wanna get eaten!”
“Alright, everyone . Come back to your senses . ”
Rokuko clapped her hands and everyone stopped .
“Phewww . Kyuu saved me, Rokuko . I thought my heart was gonna stop there nkyu . ”
“Come to think of it, I heard rabbits could die out of loneliness . That was true?”
“Dying huh~, dunno about that nkyuu… So, kyuu are Rokuko’s master?”
The rabbit did a thing with his mouth inside the cage and turned toward me .
“No . 629, right? I’m Kehma . Nice to meet you . ”
“Yeah, I heard kyuu would be coming to help from Haku… sama . I’m lookin forward to it!”
Looks like Core No . 629 still wasn’t used to adding -sama to Haku-san’s name .
Well, I guess that’s to be expected since he just fell under her umbrella . Unwillingly, at that .
“By the way, it’s hard to say 629 all the time, can I call you something else?”
“Nkyuu? I don’t mind . Give me a cool name!”
With that, I glanced over to Ichika .
“Ichika, got any good ideas?”
“Hm? Ya want me to decide? Right… then how ’bout Orange?”
This world’s oranges were also the color orange . His orange fur definitely made you think of them .
Giving a rabbit a food-based name feels a bit like thinking of him as emergency rations, but eh, guess it’ll be fine?
“So that’s why that’s what we’ll call you, you good with that?”
“Nkyuu . Good with me, so kyuu can call me Orange . ”
“… …”
“Nn? What’s wrong?”
“No, it’s nothing . ”
It looks like Ichika didn’t become his master .
“Now that I think about it, Orange, do you have a master?”
“Nkyuu? Nope . ”
And he doesn’t have one yet… I decided to give it a shot in the small chance it worked out, but I guess there’s some other requirement I don’t know about? Guess it’s not just all about the name .
Well, it’s not like this is really the time to talk and find out though .
“… Alright, guess it’s time we start talking about the Dungeon Battle . Orange, what sort of place is your dungeon at?”
“Ooh, yeah . My dungeon’s in a meadow . ”
“Hoh, a meadow . Is there anything else?”
“There’s rabbits and nothin’ else really~”
So we have a rabbit-type Dungeon Core in a meadow with nothing but rabbits… uh-huh . No, no, I won’t have the full picture until I ask for more details .
“Where is your Dungeon Core?”
“Fu fu fu…! It’s a secret, but it’s in a spot underground… kyuu, I dug up a hole to hide it from hawks wanting to attack it!”
“What sort of non-rabbit monsters can you summon? Any traps?”
I decided to just exchange information about simple stuff like that until Haku-san arrives .
“… So you only have rabbits?”
“Nkyuu, I’m going with the strategy of surrounding people that trip and ganging up on them! Even if a single strike’s weak, we can beat ’em up till they die! With that, we can win!”
“I understand what you’re saying, but you can’t rely on that for Dungeon Battles . ”
… I think I understand why Haku-san was saying [Frustrate Them] and not [Win] .
At any rate, Orange’s [Rabbit Paradise] was a simple dungeon with an above-ground meadow and a single underground floor—simple enough to bring [Ordinary Cave] to mind .
