Just to make it absolutely clear, I donât ever recall my hobby changing from âtrying my best to translate fun things into Englishâ & âreading discussions about these series because I want to see what others thinkâ, to âdelivering timely and professional service to entitled douchebags, at zero cost!â.
Itâs been four days since the slave girl Tena has begun living with me.
At first she was just shocked about everything, but even she seems to have finally gotten used to it.
Rather than âgotten used toâ, it might just be that sheâs abandoned thinking about the outrageous and abnormal though.
It seems that she helped her mother with the housework in the village, so she can do most chores, and the things I canât do like the cooking or cleaning Iâve completely left to her.
No, I mean, I should say this just in case, but itâs not as though I donât have ability in cooking and cleaning.
Itâs just that when I pick up a knife to cook the tantou will knock it out of my hand, and when I try to put on an apron the robe will flick it away.
Even when I thought to just clean up the area around me and picked up a broom it was no good; it seems that brooms are treated as weapons.
Inidentally, when it comes to laundry, I canât change my clothing, so she just does her own.
Fortunately, perhaps I should say, it seems that because of the activation of the divine enchantment, although itâs only at first, the clothing seems to undergo a status restoration after a certain amount of time, so filth and tear doesnât remain.
Tenaâs a slave, but right now my only order as her master is âDonât do anything thatâll put me at a disadvantageâ.
She seems to hold an absolute devotion to I who cured her illness and saved her life, so even if I donât go out of my way to order her, sheâll work eagerly.
While giving a sidelong look and watching her work, I chanted âStatus.â.

The new âkin columnâ was added with Tenaâs name listed there.
I checked with Tena, but it seems that only I can see this status screen, and Tena canât see my status.
Also, Tena tried chanting âStatus.â but she apparently couldnât see anything.
When I focused on Tenaâs name on my status menu, her status was newly displayed.
Tena herself canât display the menu, and whether itâs because she became my slave, or because of the divine enchantment is unknown, but it seems that her status is treated as part of mine, and I could see her status.

Title: Slave, Disciple of the Evil God
Mana: 60532
Skills:
â Abnormal Status Resistance (Lv.4)
â Darkness Magic (Lv.4)
Equipment:
â Miko Outfit of the Evil God
Subordination: Anri
I decided to accept her âSlaveâ title as something that couldnât be helped, and âDisciple of the Evil Godâ was probably because of the divine enchantment, huh.
Her mana value is as high as 60 thousand points, but considering that the average dungeon master has 10~20 thousand, itâs probably a value thatâs exceeded the human realm.
Itâs unclear now what her mana value was before the divine protection, but it seems that she doesnât have any knowledge of magic herself, so I can guess that this value came about because of the divine enchantment. âIn fact, the person herself didnât realise but she actually had a natural talent for magicâ⦠the chance that itâs something like that isnât zero, but, well, thereâs almost no mistake that itâs because of the divine enchantment. Even her skills; theyâre the same system of skills as mine after all.
The âMiko Outfit of the Evil Godâ is the kantoui modified by the divine enchantment, but the fact that she has nothing else in her equipment doesnât meant that she wasnât wearing underwear or shoes, but rather that apparently normal clothing with no defensive properties arenât counted as equipment. Itâs not as if Iâve gone and ordered her to go commando.
The time when I bought shoes and underwear for Tena she was feeling extremely obliged and was hesitant about it, but I forced her to wear them for the sake of my mental stability. Iâve heard that normally there are no masters who would give such things to their slaves, but wearing a miko outfit in the nude is just such a sexual deviant-esque get-up that I wouldnât be able to calm down with her around.
Additionally, it seems that the Miko Outfit of the Evil God isnât particularly cursed, and Tena can change clothing normally⦠Itâs discrimination.
âTena.â
âYes, Anri-sama.â
When I called out to Tena who was placing a teacup before me, Tena immediately replied to me. By the way, at first she called me âGoshujinsama [tl: esteemed master]â but I couldnât calm down so I got her to call me by my name instead. I said that she didnât need to attach the -sama, but this was apparently where she drew the line, and because she stubbornly resisted, I gave up.
Tena was about to stand behind me in waiting so I told her to make her own share of tea and sit down opposite me. Tena was bewildered about sitting down together and tried to decline, but I had something to talk to her about so I somehow got her to agree. Even though she should have been raised in a village, why is she so skilled in serving others is hopeless mystery.
âDo you want to see your family?â
To the question I suddenly dropped, cutting to the point, perhaps it was unexpected because Tena stiffened up.
I heard that Tena who was a debt slave was taken away by slave merchants as security for a loan. Thinking that she might want to return to the village since she was forcefully separated from her family, I decided to ask her what she thought about it.
As for me, Iâd be troubled in various was if she wasnât here so Iâd like to avoid her leaving, but I donât really mind her returning to her village for a little while, so if she wants it then I intend to let her. Weâll probably be acquainted for a long while after this, so I thought that I should be considerate so that she didnât built up dissatisfaction.
âIt would be a lie if I said that I didnât.â
âThen,â
âBut honestly, I donât know what kind of face I should make if I meet them. I think my family feels the same way.â
Well, thatâs just about right.
The family that sold the girl for money, and the girl who was sold for money; even if it was something they couldnât help, itâs obvious that itâs complicated.
âGot it. Then if you feel like meeting them after you sort out your feelings, then say so. If itâs a few days, then I donât mind.â
âT-, Thank you very much!â
Her eyes were teary, but Tenaâs smile was really charming.
âââââââââââââââââââ
Now then, since sheâs living here, itâs for Tenaâs sake as well that strengthening the dungeon is my top priority. Over four days Iâve been slightly modifying the dungeon, and each day Iâve added a floor, so at present it has 9 floors. I have no intention of increasing it endlessly, but because I want a dungeon as impregnable as possible to guarantee our safety, I plan on expanding it to 30 floors.
I donât want to think about fighting myself, but Iâve left 1 million mana points remaining for emergencies, and each day I spend 2 million points on strengthening the dungeon. 1 million points are used for adding a floor, so that leaves 1 million left for remodelling and reinforcing.
On the first day I spent points on adding rooms to the residential area, and adding furniture. I needed a room for Tena to use as well. It was a residential area with nothing but the bare minimum bed and table, but now, itâs finally got the appearance of a home. At the very least, just by having a bath the lifestyle circumstances are higher than the inns in town though.
On the second day, I established a teleportation circle on each floor.
As the dungeon master I can free move through the dungeon, but Tena canât do that. Since Iâm having her go to town to buy things and the like, I need a way for her to easily reach the entrance. Luckily I was able to make it so that it was only usable by people whose mana had been registered beforehand, so invaders wonât be able to use it.
Additionally, on the floors besides the residential area, I created two teleportation circles; one that goes one-way towards the entrance, and one towards the residential area for non-living things only. The former is for when defeated invaders want to go home, and the latter is especially made to send down loot from fainted intruders.
On the third day, I worked on adding to the monsters that appeared.
Originally it was only wraiths and black steel golems roaming about, but I added skeleton lords and chaos elementals as well. In order, theyâre; spirits of the dead that are not only impervious to physical attacks, but use powerful magic; a 3 metre tall steel lump of a doll; a skeleton that can easily swing a greatsword; and a lump of miasma that can absorb every attribute except holy.
Of course, Iâve made sure to forbid the new monsters from killing people as well. Both of them are non-living things, so theyâll obey my orders absolutely.
On the fourth day, I put traps on each floor.
The point was to avoid death, so of course I didnât put any dangerous traps that would kill people instantly. They were mainly things like bear traps, pitfalls, paralysis gas, sleeping gas, and one-man teleportation circles. Incidentally, the last one is the nastiest. Itâs a small sized magic circle so itâs function is limited to the one floor, but itâll suddenly send only one person in a party somewhere else. If I surround them with monsters once theyâre alone, it probably wonât even be a fight.
And with todayâs new floor, the dungeon has grown to 10 floors. Since 10 is a nice number, Iâve decided to place a room when you descend from the 9th floor with a boss guarding the entrance to the residential area. Monsters that donât appear endlessly and need to be brought forth or summoned individually are boss monsters.
Spending the entire 1 million points on bringing forth a single monster, I ended up stationing the No Life King. He looks like a skeleton-type monster with a luxurious robe, and a crown on his head. Giving off a thick aura of death from his entire body, that majesty of his is truly fitting to be called the king of the undead.
Since I had already gone to the trouble, I used the few remaining points to add a throne worthy of him to the boss room.
â¦With this, if I turn the entrance to the residential area into a hidden door, even if there are mighty warriors who make it this far, they might do me the favour of mistaking him to be the lord of this dungeon.
Now then, with this, it finally looks like a real dungeon. Of course I still intend on strengthening it more, but even at the moment, we can deal with invaders up to a certain extent.
