“Kit Dragonmaid.” I summoned my cook, so she could make us some dinner.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]I had already used the core to make a full kit within the trol room, as well as things like a dining table, couches, beds, and even a full toilet and bath. Basically, everything you would need for a life, except a puter. I did find something that might be a puter ialog, but I didn’t make o.

  “Oh. Master. Thank you for calling me. I have something for you.” Kit Dragonmaid announced as she appeared.

  “Really? What is it?”

  “Here. I mao make a new one.” She said as she handed me a card, while she had a beaming smile on her face.

  “House Dragonmaid, huh? So you made Sheou’s human food work.”

  Spoiler

  [colpse]

  So she was able to make that now. It likely is because I got Sheou. I did already theorize as much, back when Kit got her own dragon form for me. I know my ritual getters, Senju, Manju and Sonic Bird, require me to have either the ritual spell, or the monster, and then they get the other one. So now it is basically firmed. Kit get the maid form of any Dragonmaid whose dragon form I have, or vice versa.

  Spoiler[colpse]Hmm. I kind of want to summon House Dragonmaid now. But she needs a Dragonmaid as a material…

  “Kit, do you mind if I use you as a material for House and summon you back with Monster Reborn afterwards?” I asked the maid. I already had her out, and resummoning her won’t be a problem. Sure I could just use either Sheou or Tinkhec, but I don’t really want to summon a dragon in the core room, unless I have to.

  “... if you must, I will go with it.”

  “Thanks, and sorry. I’ll summon yht back.” I told the maid.

  I quickly got a Poly and another dragon-type monster out of my colle. I chose a light/dragon, just because House is a light/dragon.

  “I activate Polymerization. I fuse together Kit Dragonmaid and Mirage Dragon to fusion summon House Dragonmaid.”

  Spoiler [colpse]As soon as the light caused by the fusion ehe new maid stood in front of me. U, who was a bit shorter than I am, House Dragonmaid was taller than I was. She was right around 190 cm tall.16 feet 3 inches Defiall, but pared to the over 2 meter tall Agunan, she wasn’t that bad.

  “Master. I am here to serve.” House greeted me.

  “Thanks. I’ll summon Kit baow, so help her make us something good for dinner.” I told her, before I activated Monster Reborn and resummoned Kit Dragonmaid.

  The two maids got to work, ing to ask me fredients every now and then. Kit knew basically everything I had in my ste, when it came to ingredients, and I could also make new foodstuff with the dungeon if they needed something. And, of course, Mystik Woking something was always an option.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]

  While they were cooking, I talked with Alid Lua about their books. The ohey got as rewards for us clearing this dungeon.

  “... this… it is a book… on Holy Magic. … Written by the first saint, Lucia.” Lua told me about her book. Apparently that is what she had gotten. I guess that would help her learn Holy Magic, without having to reveal her Saint title, so I have to say, good woddess, or System Agent or other person, whoever chose that reward. Good job.

  Alice had something quite simir. She had a magic book written by the Great Sage Arcadia. Alice had learned from the book that Arcadia had had a unique skill quite simir to Alice’s Magical Girl. Or at least a part of that skill had been simir. Like Alice, Arcadia could use Imaginary Magiake new spells, and the book Alice had, had a ton of researd notes on spells the Great Sage came up with. Some of them were even spells that were in ohese days. Again, great job. I hope that really will give Alie ideas on what she really do with her unique skill. She has already done some good stuff with it, but that might help.

  After a while, my maids informed us that the food was ready.

  What they served us could only be described as … luxurious. They had made us some Great Agnus steaks and butter-poached Mad Lobster topped with Terr Salmon roe.

  Spoiler[colpse]For sides, we had green bean casserole, made from Bean Soldier, a tomato risotto made from Mystiato and some rice I made with the dungeon, and some garlic mashed potatoes, made with stuff I made with the dungeon.

  Spoiler[colpse]For drinks, we were fully non-alcoholic. The dhampirs were of course enjoying some blood, Alice was drinking a fruit juice that I made with the dungeon, while Agunan and I had some sort of lemonade, which I again found while browsing the catalog of what my dungeon make.

  After dinner, I finally took a look at my evolution options.

  Chosen Evolution Ohout a Race ?Swordsman (human) ?Sorcerer (human) ?Summoner (human) ?User or Rare Skills (human) ?Advanced Human ?Dragoed ?Spiritual Human ? [Begin Evolution] … why? Why is everything but the new race crossed out? Goddess? Trying to hint at something? There even is a new race that wasn’t there before. Advanced Human. Well, that is only there because of the Limit Break, and while it is a det race, it isn’t as good as the others, because it doesn’t e with a racial skill. It really is just a race for those that somehow got Limit Break before evolving.

  For shits and giggles, I hovered over one of the crossed out races, just to see what the System would say.

  Chosen Evolution Ohout a Race ?Swordsman (human) ?Sorcerer (human) ?Summoner (human) ?User or Rare Skills (human) ?Advanced Human ?Dragoed ?Spiritual Human ? Warning. Selected race does not support your dormant racial skill. Are you sure you want to choose it?[Yes] [No][Begin Evolution]

  … wait? So my new ??? skill is a racial skill for Ohout a Race? … Goddess is really trying to hint something. But I got the skill from the dungeon, didn’t I? Maybe this isn’t on the Goddess then.

  Well, let’s see what we find out about this Ohout a Race. Laura.

  (I don’t have muformation.) She answered. (It is a new race, and would be uo you. But it is highly reended, and I do have a report saying that it will have the greatest utility of any race.)

  (So it is a utility based race. … I guess that is fine, but really… I just don’t like the idea of having my choice fore.)

  I asked Lua and Alice for their opinion, but both of them agreed that I should just go for Ohout a Race. If I really had a racial skill for it already, that would help. Alice was also happy that she wouldn’t be the only oh a unique race after that.

  “... I guess I’ll do that then. Maybe I should just evolve now? I mean, we are in my territory at the moment…”

  “Well, if you think that is a good idea.” Lua agreed. “I’ll take care of you while you evolve, but what about the dungeon?”

  “I think we have an easy out. Agunan. I’ll make you the dungeon master of this pce, so you take care of the pce while I sleep.”

  “As you wish, Master. But why me instead of one of the dies?”

  “Being a dungeon master is somewhat of a big deal in human society, and it isly easy to hide the terminal in fancy clothes, so it isn’t ideal. But no-one should really care if a dragon is also a dungeon master, I think. Also, you are the stro of us, and keeping the core safe is of utmost importance, so I think you are the best choice.”

  “If that is what you believe. But Master, you are a lot strohan I am.” Agunan argued.

  “Well, I’m not, but my summons are. But at the same time, I’m already the founder, and I think having a master that hold down the fort while I’m unavaible will be important. And for that, you are the best.”

  “I see. I uand.”

  “Good. Now get over here. We are making you the dungeon master.”

  The process was basically the same as what I did with Christina.

  First I pulled open the ‘name dungeon master’ menu, then Agunan touched the core, then I firmed that he would be the dungeon master, and finally, a dungeon master’s terminal was geed. It took on the familiar form of a golden bracer. Well, it is orichalcum, not gold, but it does look kind of like gold.

  We the a bit of time, so Agunan learned how to use the dungeon’s funs, though he really shouldn’t o do much while I am out. I even asked him to not use the core to make items while I’m out, uhey run into an emergency. … just because Aguna really know how to min-max the cores efficy. I want to have plenty of the ‘other’ stuff for … definitely not Divine sleeves when I wake up.

  After that, I prepared the room so that the others would be fine spending some time here while I sleep. Basically making sure they had food and drinks, as well as some eai. For food, I made a walk-in fridge to store food in, and put stuff from my Ste there. For eai, Alid Lua would be busy with their books, and they could also go to the facto… actually, they ’t do that, as my skill will likely be offline while I sleep. Okay, I’ll make them both some high level magic books for their attributes. I’ll also separate an area of the core room, so that they use it as practice grounds. Last, I found a few bames in the dungeon catalog, so I also made those.

  I also looked into making my summons appear as dungeon monsters, and while I could do that, I would have to install the monster into the core, costing me a card. For most cards, this wasn’t a problem, but some of my stuff was still one-offs, like the Dragonmaids, so I would have to sider it a bit. I did put a few healer monsters in though, just so Lua doesn’t have to stay up for the eime I’m evolving. It did take a bit of mana and miasma to first summon them, and for all effective purposes, they were monsters of this dungeon, but I have to say, it is worth it. Too bad they ot leave the dungeon, but whatever.

  … I think that is all. Healthcare, check. Food and drinks for others, check. Clothing, and pces for them to sleep, check. Some stuff they use to pass time, check. A dungeon master, who take care of emergencies, chebsp;

  Yeah. I think that is all. I hope. And while I did say Agunan should hold ba using the core to make stuff, in an emergency, he use it to make basically anything, so they will be fine.

  “I’m going to start my evolution now.” I told everyone. “Please take care while I’m out.”

  “Yes.”

  “I’ll take care of you while you sleep.” Lua told me.

  “Don’t fet to sleep yourself.” I reminded her. “You rely on the Dang Fairies and Cure Mermaid.” I added, referring to the two monsters I installed into the core. I only added those two, so I wouldn’t have too many monsters installed right off the bat. I’ll add more as I get to know this dungeoer.

  … I’m stalling again. Am I this afraid of evolving? Let’s just pull open the menu, and do it.

  Chosen Evolution Ohout a Race ?Swordsman (human) ?Sorcerer (human) ?Summoner (human) ?User or Rare Skills (human) ?Advanced Human ?Dragoed ?Spiritual Human ? [Begin Evolution] “Alright. Good night, everyone.” I said, as I pressed Begin Evolution. Then I fully id down on the bed, before quickly falling asleep.

  [Lucia POV]

  “His temperature is rising. His evolution has really begun.” I told everyone.

  It has been about 15 minutes since Briao sleep to evolve, and he was now showing signs of evolving.

  “Alright. If you need help, just call me. I’ll be in the practi with Ria.” Alice said, as she and Ria headed for the practice grounds Brian prepared for us.

  “I will. Just try not to injure yourselves.” I warhem, before they went to the adjoining room.

  “Lua. It is time for you to sleep.” Ria told me.

  “I’ll just be a bit longer.” I answered.

  “No. Brian told me to make sure you’ll sleep, so I’ll be doing just that. Off to bed with you, or I’ll drag you there.”

  “Just a … No! Ria! Stop!” You ’t just grab me like that. I’m in the middle of a …

  “great. Now there is water everywhere. Thanks.”

  “Then do as you are told. Miss Alice, do you think that new spell will work?” Ria called over to Alice.

  “Of course. It worked on you just fine, didn’t it?”

  ell? What are they talking about?

  Ria set me down on a couch, and there was a nightght o me. Then she just stood there and watched.

  “... are you gonna ge yourself, or do you need help with that, Princess?” She asked.

  “I do that myself!” I snapped a bit.

  “Good. I’ll be waiting. And no going back to Brian.”

  I quickly ged my clothes to the nightgown that had bee for me, hoping that I could sneak o look at Brian before Ria carried me to bed.

  “... alright. I’ve ged. … I go take a look… before I go to sleep?” I tried tain.

  “Fine. You have two minutes.” Alice gave me a timeline.

  I returo Brian’s bedside. Cure Mermaid had gotten all of the water that spshed into his bed out, and had taken over for me.

  I sat dowo the sleeping Brian, and put my hand on his cheek.

  “Please… sleep well.”

  “You too. You too.” The small Dang Fairies told me.

  “Yes. Founder would be disappointed if we didn’t let you sleep.” Cure Mermaid told me. For some reason, the monsters Brian called with the dungeon core call him Founder, instead of Master. I suppose to them, Agunan is the dungeon Master, and Brian is the Founder.

  I left Brian’s bedside befrabbed me again, and headed for my own bed. Brian had set up small bedrooms for each of us. He even made a pce where Cure Mermaid and Dang Fairy could sleep. Acc to him, they were just as real as any other monster, and they would also need sleep.

  I id down on my bed, but I don’t think I fall asleep anytime soon.

  “Alice, if you would.” Ria asked.

  “Sure.” Alice said, before starting to hum a soft tune.

  I don’t know what exactly she is doing, but I soon found myself extremely sleepy, so I just let myself fall asleep.

  [Alice POV]

  “Are you sure it was necessary to use magi her to force her to sleep?” I asked Ria. I had used a spell described in the Great Sage’s magic book to help Lua go to sleep. The Great Sage had used that spell to help the Hero fall asleep whenever he had difficulties doing so.

  “It might be. Lua just gets like that sometimes.”

  “Experience?”

  “Well, she didn’t sleep for two days after her father passed away.” Ria admitted. “She was afraid her mother would leave her .”

  “... I see. So now she is worried that Brian won’t wake up…”

  “Are you not?”

  “No. Not really. I know Brian.”

  “... Well, if you say so.”

  “So, do you want to sleep first, or should I? I don’t think we should leave Agunan up by himself?” I asked Ria. Agunan had stated that he would stay up for the eime Brian was asleep to keep an eye on the dungeon. And as a dragon, he should be able to do that without too much difficulty, I think.

  “You go first.” Ria told me. “I took that nap earlier, so I’m still fine.”

  “You were a great practice target.” I teased her a bit. I might not be ied in her in that way, but I still enjoyed having her sleeping on my thighs, after I sao sleep. ime, I’ll give Brian a p pillow.

  I entered my own bedroom, and also went to bed.
