03. Another Dungeon.

.

.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Having time to spare even after taking a bath, I decided to define this ‘big picture’ thing. They said I could decide on the terminology as I pleased… let’s just call them commandments.

I should probably write them down, right?

 

 

“Hmm… but there are different kinds of maids, so can I apply them differently to each person?”

 

[It is entirely possible. You can create ‘commandments’ by type and situation, and apply them separately to each person or situation.]

 

 

Ooh. It even answers for me.

 

 

If that’s the case, then first… I’ll set the laws for this slave girl. As I explore dungeons, there will be women trying to mug me, and all sorts of things can happen, so I need a law that can firmly control the kids I’ll be using as slaves.

 

 

 

 

 

After pondering for a few minutes, I quickly came up with five laws. Let’s call this the Slave 5 Commandments.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Slave 5 Commandments]

 

 

 

 

Article 1. A maid shall not commit any kind of betrayal against me (Yu-eun).

 

 

Article 2. A maid must always be polite to me (Yu-eun).

 

 

Article 3. A maid must prioritize me (Yu-eun) over herself.

 

 

Article 4. A maid must obey me (Yu-eun).

 

 

Article 5. All of a maid’s property is classified as my (Yu-eun’s) property.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It seems a bit 허술(heosul) and strange to call it commandments, but let’s just go with this for now.

 

 

[Linked Quest: Setting the Framework has been completed.]

 

 

Nice, completed. The reward was definitely… Maid Loyalty +5, right?

 

 

 

 

I wonder what this girl’s loyalty is like. Rock bottom?

 

 

 

 

《lee eun-ju=””》

 

 

Affection: 1

Loyalty: 55

 

 

Inner thoughts: Unknown.

 

 

 

 

Oh? The loyalty is pretty high. Is it the effect of fear? This must also be related to some stats, right?

 

 

[Loyalty is a system limited to maids, and for every 1 point of loyalty, the sex appeal stat increases by 10. In addition, loyalty disappears when you receive the King’s favor and are promoted to ‘Jaein’. However, the sex appeal stat gained from loyalty is not deducted.]

 

 

Hmm… so… even if I try to make her a Bin or Bi, it’s more stat-efficient to raise her loyalty to 100 while using her as a maid, as I can gain 1,000 points.

 

I need to increase this girl’s loyalty first… and I know a very easy and simple way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Linked Quest: Setting Detailed Rules]

 

 

 

 

You have created a framework, ‘commandments’. However, it is difficult to control efficiently with commandments alone. You must create detailed rules for each commandment and penalties for them. Rules and penalties mean that if rule a is not established, the maid will receive disadvantage b, and if the maid refuses this disadvantage, she will receive the existing -80% stat penalty.

These commandments and detailed rules can be created differently for each category, and different categories of laws can be applied to each maid.

 

 

Also, all maids can view the commandments and detailed rules assigned to them at any time, and if they faithfully fulfill them, their loyalty will increase by 1-3 points per week.

 

 

Content: Setting detailed rules for commandments (0/1)

 

 

Reward: All maids’ loyalty +10

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hmm… I thought it would be easy, but it’s not. I have to make detailed rules… but do I only have to make one?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Article 1. A maid shall not commit any kind of betrayal against me (Yu-eun).

 

 

-Clause 1. A maid cannot request or receive help from anyone other than me (Yu-eun) regarding her betrayal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, what do you think?

 

 

 

 

[Linked Quest: Setting Detailed Rules has been completed.]

 

 

 

 

Oh oh. So what’s the next quest…?

 

 

It’s the same thing. Just the number changed. I need to set four more detailed rules. But the reward is good. Loyalty +20. That’s 200 sex appeal stats. Nice. Let’s finish it all today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And after a while…

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Slave 5 Commandments]

 

 

 

 

Article 1. A maid shall not commit any kind of betrayal against me (Yu-eun).

 

 

-Clause 1. A maid cannot request or receive help from anyone other than me regarding her betrayal.

 

 

Article 2. A maid must always be polite to me (Yu-eun).

 

 

-Clause 1. A maid must use 존대(jondae – honorifics) to me and my Jaein, Bin, and Bi.

 

 

Article 3. A maid must prioritize me (Yu-eun) over herself.

 

 

-Clause 1. In dangerous situations, a maid must protect me and my Jaein, Bin, and Bi before her own body.

 

 

Article 4. A maid must obey me (Yu-eun).

 

 

-Clause 1. A maid must proactively perform certain regularized commands.

-Clause 2. Regularized commands refer to standardized and continuous commands such as ‘Prepare breakfast before I wake up’.

 

 

Article 5. All of a maid’s property is classified as my (Yu-eun’s) property.

 

 

-Clause 1. A maid can only possess private property with my permission.

-Clause 2. The limit of a maid’s private property can be restricted at my discretion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tada! How about this devilish bill!!

Hehe. This much should be enough for now.

 

 

I wonder if another quest has appeared…?

 

 

 

 

Hmm.

 

 

Nope.

 

 

Alright. I can go out now.

 

 

 

“Follow me.”

“Yes.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Ah, Mom, it’s not like that…”

 

When I arrived at the meeting place, I could see Sora-nuna looking awkward and Yuna-ssi frowning while talking on the phone.

 

 

“…Who is it?”

“My mother.”

“Ah….”

 

A mom critical hit. Could it be that Yuna-ssi is also keeping it a secret from her family?

 

 

“W-what, a boyfriend? W-why would I make something like that!!”

 

 

You already have one. No, is it a husband?

 

 

“Blind date my ass!! 끊엇!!(kkeuneot – Hung up!!)”

 

 

She shouts and hangs up the phone.

 

 

“A different side of you, Yuna-ssi.”

“…Hmph.”

 

 

Why is she taking it out on me?

 

 

“Oh? What’s that?”

 

I turned my gaze to Sora-nuna, and behind her was something like a robot.

The size of the body is about that of a large monitor, and four legs extend from all sides of the body, allowing it to walk on all fours. There is a compressed (?) cloth on top of the body. I don’t know if this is being conveyed well.

 

 

“It’s an inventory.”

“…An inventory?”

“Yes.”

 

Yuna-ssi’s concise answer.

 

 

“Did you think you’d be carrying a bag around for the rest of your life?”

“N-no, it’s not that….”

 

 

Still, isn’t that too much? It’s a dungeon! A dungeon!!

 

 

“It looks like nothing is there now, but if you press a button, a bag pops out of the body. You can neatly put byproducts and items in there. It can be stacked up to 2 meters high and can withstand a weight of up to 800kg.”

“Wow….”

 

 

Hearing it like that, it’s awesome.

So if I have this, Eun-ju doesn’t need to be a porter?

 

 

“Usually, each team carries two of these and a bag each.”

 

Carries it.

 

 

“So, how much is this?”

“About $5,000 per unit. And it’s getting more expensive.”

“….”

 

 

Not that expensive… or is it?

 

 

“Can’t I rent something like this?”

“A company tried it before, but the risk was too great, so they quickly gave up. If the team is wiped out, the damage is too great, not to mention the rental fee.”

“Ah… so you bought this?”

“No. It’s what I used to use. I lent it to an acquaintance and got it back.”

“I see.”

 

Hmm… should I buy one too? Of course, Eun-ju can carry my luggage, but I still want it.

 

 

Clap clap.

 

 

Yuna-ssi suddenly clapped her hands.

 

 

“Okay. Let’s go in for now. Let’s set the full-scale hunting for about a week from tomorrow and just get a taste today.”

 

 

As she was about to go inside….

Hey, what about food?

 

 

“What about food?”

“I haven’t eaten either.”

 

Stop.

 

 

Yuna-ssi stopped.

 

 

“…Don’t tell me you ate?”

“No way.”

“….”

 

 

She stiffly turns her head.

 

 

“…I’m sorry.”

 

 

 

 

 

.

.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After grabbing a bite at a nearby convenience store, we were able to enter the dungeon around 1 p.m.

 

I can’t quite express it, but I can feel a terrible energy. Besides, the cave walls feel bad. It feels like it’s made of skulls… and why is the floor like this? Is this a bone fragment??

 

 

 

“Be careful. The floor and walls here are very hard. And you… what was your name again, Eun-ju? Be careful because even a slight graze can be fatal… I’m asking just in case, but what are your attack power and defense power?”

“Attack power is 5,900 and defense power is 6,800.”

“Wow… you can just go around this dungeon?”

“…What the hell did you do?”

“I didn’t do anything special.”

 

Level 1 but attack power is almost 6,000…

It’s probably because of loyalty. It said sex appeal increases by 10 for every 1 point. I wonder if her loyalty is around 80 now?

 

 

 

 

《lee eun-ju=””》

 

 

Affection: 1

Loyalty: 85

Inner thoughts: Hooo… well… it can’t be helped, so let’s do our best.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh? Loyalty is 85 and she seems to be thinking something admirable.

With a proud heart, I stroked Eun-ju’s head.

Then she quietly lowers her head. She doesn’t seem to like it very much, but who cares.
