“I want to know about the outside world.”
ㅤ
I, who blurted out such a mad idea, am perfectly sane.
How can I be sane and crazy at the same time?
Well, never mind.
ㅤ
I thought so because, frankly, I thought I would be severely lacking in information if I continued like this.
ㅤ
In this dungeon, I have killed at least two important people.
the suicidal zombie and the goblin zombie.
Or rather, the Suicidal Princess and a higher-up in the Demon Lord’s army.
I didn’t kill the princess, but no one would believe that, and I don’t have the courage to talk about it in public anyway.
ㅤ
Well, let’s put aside my fear of people.
The problem is that I came to the terrifying possibility that I might have turned both the human kingdom and the Demon Lord’s army against me by killing such important people.
Well, that’s just the worst-case scenario.
ㅤ
Including the subjugation team and the Goblin Lord, everyone who found out that this is a dungeon has been killed without exception.
The initial trio, the middle-aged zombie, the immortal zombie’s group, the entire goblin army.
It’s a complete massacre.
In this way, there is no chance of information leaking out.
There was only one time when I let that speedy guy escape,
but he was defeated by the Goblin Lord and ran away, so even if he reported what happened at that time to someone, the information about the dungeon should not have leaked.
ㅤ
However, the situation is a bit different with the Demon Lord’s army.
The goblins who were under the Goblin Lord frequently went outside the dungeon.
Well, they were going hunting.
But it’s not certain that one of them didn’t report to another unit of the Demon Lord’s army while hunting.
The goblins, other than the Goblin Lord, didn’t speak human language, but they may be able to communicate with each other through their cries.
ㅤ
And, unlike the humans, the goblins knew that this place was not just a cave, even if they didn’t know it was a dungeon.
They knew there was something that would kill anyone who ventured past the second level.
So, it wouldn’t be strange if some kind of investigation team from the Demon Lord’s army came.
ㅤ
And, even on the human side, if both the subjugation team and the princess do not return, they will probably send another investigation team.
No, in that case, there is a higher possibility that a new subjugation team will be sent, assuming the Goblin Lord’s subjugation failed.
ㅤ
. . .This is bad.
When I think about it, the threat is not gone at all.
Well, now that the goblins are gone, this dungeon can finally pretend to be a harmless cave, as originally planned.
If I erase the traces of the others, no one will investigate such a plain cave.
It must be so.
It must be so.
Please tell me it’s so.
ㅤ
If things don’t work out, I decide to hold another genocide party and return to the main topic.
ㅤ
In other words, about the outside world and so on.
Given the situation I’m in, I want to know at least how this place is being treated in the outside world.
I think I need to know.
There are many things I want to know, such as what the Demon Lord is, how to use magic, how to acquire true equipment, and so on.
I also need to investigate the movements of the Demon Lord’s army.
ㅤ
“. . .But, I have no intention of going outside.”
ㅤ
I have no such intention at all.
The reason I wanted to know that information is to protect this sanctuary.
And the reason for protecting the sanctuary is so that I can remain a hikikomori without any worries.
It would be putting the cart before the horse to go outside in order to continue being a hikikomori.
ㅤ
So, I decided to create a monster for errands.
ㅤ
“I wonder if there is something like a reconnaissance drone.”
ㅤ
While thinking about such things, I proceed to look at the list of monsters on the menu.
If there are no convenient ones like drones, I plan to create a human-shaped monster that can blend in with humans for gathering information.
Monsters with a will seem scary as they might betray, so I don’t want to create them if possible, but there’s no choice.
I thought so, but the situation was more serious than I imagined.
ㅤ
“There are no humanoid monsters. . .What. . .?!”
ㅤ
Yes, there were no humanoid monsters.
To be precise, there were no monsters that were entirely human-shaped and could blend in with humans without raising any suspicion.
At best, there were those that were close, like the Arachne, half-human half-spider, or the Lamia, with the lower body of a snake.
ㅤ
I thought high-ranking undead monsters like vampires might work, but when I checked their images on the menu, their fangs were longer than expected and looked non-human, and their skin was not pale but completely blue, so they were out.
A Lich is a mummy.
A Jiangshi was close, but like a zombie, it lacks intelligence.
𝐓𝐋-𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚: (𝐉𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐡𝐢) 𝐚 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐯𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞
A Ghoul is rotten.
What does it mean that a High Zombie is the best?
Even that High Zombie lacks intelligence.
Without intelligence, they can’t do any espionage.
ㅤ
This approach won’t work.
So next, I tried to find monsters that could not only take human form, but also disguise themselves as humans.
The result was no good.
The Nine-Tailed Fox, which I thought had the most potential, was a close call, but the fluffy tail was a deal-breaker.
If there were beastmen with cat ears in this world, it might be safe, but so far I haven’t seen any, so I can’t make a judgment whether it’s safe or not.
And if it’s not, I’ll end up with a useless roommate.
I don’t want that.
If there is really no other choice, I’ll reconsider.
ㅤ
For an hour after that, I continued to look at the list of monsters while shouting “No, that’s not it!” and “You got my hopes up just to let me down?!” and “What?! It’s too high?!”.
I had found a monster that was different from what I had initially thought, but I felt an incredible potential.
