第１００掘：なんだこれ？
**100th Dig: What is this?**
**Side: Yuki**
To my great relief, Deryu’s family was alive.
And what’s more, they were Dungeon Masters just like me.
This meant I could secure their cooperation.
If they had been alive as long as Deryu, they would surely possess a corresponding amount of dungeon knowledge.
This was incredibly lucky.
And so, I quickly installed a teleportation trap within the conquered dungeon, connected it to my own, and brought Deryu over.
"Oh, Sister!!"
"Ugh, Riye...!!"
That was ten minutes ago, when they were hugging and shedding tears.
This younger brother of Deryu’s, a Dungeon Master, had built a fairly orthodox dungeon.
Deep inside, he had set up a proper, mansion-like interior for living quarters.
Well, I suppose that’s the same everywhere.
However, there was one strange thing.
The current situation.
"Hmm, Riri, was it? What are you capable of?"
"E-er, um..."
Right now, they were gathered around a table with Deryu and Riye at the center, and for some reason, they were grilling Riri with questions.
She’s acting like a nagging sister-in-law.
"Oh, Sister. Riri is a very good girl, so..."
"I wasn't asking you, Riye. I am asking Riri."
"U-um, I am an adventurer rank 7, for what it's worth."
She managed to respond to the pressure.
Oh, adventurer rank 7? That’s quite impressive.
"I didn't ask for that. To begin with, aren't adventurers the enemies of Dungeon Masters? What is this, were you planning to subjugate Riye?"
"N-no, that’s not it at all!! I was just gathering information..."
"Yeah, yeah, exactly. Gathering information is important."
"...Wait, Deryu, what exactly is your problem?"
"Behave yourself!! You are not someone who should be speaking to her so casually!!"
Anna-san immediately snapped a reprimand at me.
"Silence, Anna. Yuki is my husband."
"Wha!?"
Anna-san’s eyes were spinning at Deryu’s words.
Well, I suppose it is a shock to see the princess she finally reunited with already taken.
"P-Princess. C-could it be..."
"Yes, we share a bed as well. Children are only a matter of time."
"T-this...!!"
"Calm down. It’s a matter of mutual affection. You have no right to be saying this and that, Anna."
"Guh."
Deryu immediately shut down Anna before she could say anything else.
Well, it’s something I would have had to tell them eventually, so it’s fine, but what about Riri?
"Oh, Sister. As the gentleman over there said, what is wrong with Riri?"
"First of all, she is weak. She wouldn't be able to protect Riye with that level of strength."
"T-that’s only because you were a Demon Lord, Sister!!"
"What are you saying? I only arrived after Yuki and the others conquered this place. My power has nothing to do with it."
"I-it couldn't be helped, could it? You and your group had abnormal combat strength."
"Well, I suppose that’s true. They are the men who captured me without a scratch and brought me down. Though, it seems Yuki barely moved at all."
She’s acting like a total sister-in-law.
Riri’s eyes were welling up with tears; she looked like she was about to cry.
Seraria, perhaps feeling pity for her, decided to intervene.
"Deryu, calm down. Your brother chose the person he likes himself. Isn't Anna-san also lacking in strength? Deryu, your dissatisfaction is just because you hate seeing your brother taken by a girl you don't know."
"Nuh, guh-guh-guh..."
"Riri-san, please wipe your tears. Our Deryu has caused you trouble."
Ratz said that, immediately following up with support.
"Hic, is it really okay? Even if I become Riye-sama’s wife?"
"It’s fine. Or do you think we would hate you just because we opposed it?"
"No!! I would never hate you!!"
"Yes, exactly. I’m the same way. There’s no way Deryu could ever be separated from her husband, right? Isn't that so, Deryu?"
"Of course!! Who would ever let that happen!!"
"So, are you still going to criticize Riri?"
"T-that is..."
In the end, it’s just a sister’s jealousy.
She really is acting like a nagging sister-in-law.
"Well, if you say you don't know her, then you can just get to know each other from now on. It might be hard for you, Riri, but could you please try not to hate this stubborn Deryu?"
"Yes! I have heard many stories about Riye-sama’s sister. That she was kind and wise. Even here, she showed her kindness by worrying about Riye-sama. I will definitely do my best to be acknowledged by Deryu-sama!!"
Riri answered clearly.
Oh, she’s actually quite reliable.
"What a pleasant girl. I think she’s suitable as a wife, don't you? What do you think, Deryu?"
"...Well, I suppose I can acknowledge her. But there are still things I need to keep an eye on."
"...You’re a bit of a brother-con in strange ways, aren't you?"
"I don't want to hear that from a sister-con like Seraria."
Oh, I agree with that.
Aslin was happy, but Firia said she gets dizzy, so she asked me to stop holding her and rolling around.
"Then, is it alright, Sister!! For Riri to become a concubine!!"
"...Very well."
"Thank goodness. Riri, that’s great!!"
"Thank you!! Anna-san!!"
It was a magnificent happy ending.
There will probably be some bullying from the sister-in-law Deryu in the future.
But I’m sure these three will be able to overcome it.
"Well then, the marriage talk is settled."
"That’s a good story, isn't it?"
"Indeed. Though it doesn't compare to the story of me and my husband."
"...Shall we head back soon?"
"Yeah."
As we stood up to leave, Qual, who was acting as a guard, had been standing at the entrance the whole time.
"Thank you everyone. We will definitely invite you to the ceremony."
"Yeah, count on it."
Everyone nodded and started to leave the room...
"Are we leaving!?"
"!!?"
Everyone was startled.
Hey, hey, did you completely forget the objective?
"Oh, so Yuki noticed!!"
"Ah, so Deryu knew."
Phew, it seems not everyone was caught up in the flow.
Deryu might be a brother-con, but she’s reliable when it comes to things like this.
"That woman is unsuitable, isn't she!!"
*Zibishi!!*
Deryu pointed a finger at Riri.
Ah, I felt dizzy.
She’s hopeless.
It seems she can’t think straight when she’s with her brother.
"You idiot!! Let’s get on with the dungeon talk already!!"
"Yeah!"
You guys are hopeless, my wives.
Is talking about marriage really so fun that you forget everything else!?
"And you, Riye-kun!!"
"Y-yes!!"
"The control of your dungeon has been seized. Don't you dare try to send us off so easily while forgetting that."
"Ah."
"...For now. I heard you are a Dungeon Master. I came to this dungeon, which might have a Dungeon Master, for various purposes of my own."
"Yes."
"I want to talk about that now... is that alright?"
"...I'm sorry."
...You have useful information, right?
You do, right? I mean, you’ve been a Dungeon Master for 200 years, haven't you?
My working hours today won't be in vain, right?
Thinking that, I finally entered the main topic.
(Sorry for the delay in updating; I was busy with various things.)
