Chapter 234 234 Owners of gateway
[El's POV: ]
[You have perfectly cleared the <D> grade dimensional dungeon: Devilant colony, and have achieved results that have not been seen before.]
It was a simple blue status window and under it were some basic rewards and stuff that were basic for clearing the dungeon, things like some Oz and some skill points and a bunch of consumables.
However, after the blue status windows, a familiar green window suddenly popped up before us. Something we weren't expecting to see so early.
[ *You two tried to manipulate the very world you live in. Don't you have shame or anything?* ]
The voice that rang after this status window appeared was quite deep. Strange as well, however, something more profound than just some voice of a higher being or the Offspring like the golden roulette and the Alchemist's.
[ "To think she would actually talk with us, lol. She sure is as cute as she used to be." ]
[ "She sounds upset though. Is this alright?" ]
[ "Nah, Nah. Nothing to worry about. She is just sulking as usual." ]
There were different kinds of status windows in the Worldline and, the majority of them could be categorized into three major kinds.
The first one of them was called (The major interface) of the Worldline.
The usual blue system interface that solely belongs to the system, the golden ones that the system or, the Worldline used to announce the unique achievements, and the red status windows that popped up as a warning all belonged to the major screen interface.
The second one was called the (Personal interface) of the special entities of the Worldline.
These kinds of interfaces belonged to the unique entities of the Worldline like the voices of the worlds and the offsprings that they used occasionally to interact with the individuals that pique their interest.
Lastly, there existed a unique system interface window that was exclusive to only those we call the higher beings, the (Divine Order).
It's special and since we will soon have it anyway, talking about it isn't necessary at the moment.
The cute green screen before us belonged to the voice of the world of the world we belonged to.
The world beyond this gate was not her place to intervene so she was confused about how to deal with this whole scenario and we just suggested her to not think about what was beyond this little crack that we had created since it didn't matter anyway.
She was only in charge of this world, our world. And she had no need to care about an otherworld that was under the administration of a completely different voice.
'Our suggestion of ignoring the facts certainly provided her some good insight into the situations and the things that she could also do with her administrative powers, however, it seems like our 'suggestion' seemed like an attempted manipulation to her.'
It was obviously an attempt to manipulate her, and she was persuaded pretty easily as well since she was in that tough situation with the Worldline and the other higher entities watching her.
However, now that the decision-making was over and things had gone our way, she was pouting like a little girl whose grand pride was hurt.
[ *How do you two even know about me, about us anyway? You aren't even some kind of regressor or otherworlder. How does a pure reincarnation possess such a deep understanding of this world? Did you two play some kind of game that had the same structure as this world before dying or something?
I have heard tales of that kind of being, however, it should be impossible for them to have the kind of talents you two have.
What are you two…? Children of the creator of something?* ]
She sure had a lot to say and ask… it must be taking her a lot of plausibility to say all those things but seeing how she isn't caring about all that, looks like she is in her angry girl phase.
'Cute.'
It was funny though. She was asking questions that we either did not know the answers to or wanted to find ourselves.
'And here I was thinking she might have some of the answers to the questions she had just asked us.'
Alas.
Seems like we will have to go ask those who might have some idea after all.
[ *No answers? At least say something! You know how much it takes to say all these things, right?!* ]
Her voice was ethereal, but her tone made it kinda cute.
She was pretty fun, lol.
"What do you want me to say though? There's nothing we can answer from the questions you have asked since we don't know ourselves. And if it's about understanding of this world, well, your game theory is pretty correct but there's a little more to this.
But that will remain a secret until much much~ later~!"
[ *…* ]
She definitely wanted to cause out loud or something, lol. She definitely didn't like that answer.
We knew her very closely so we can tell just from that moment of silence how there would be nerves popping up on her astral head right now.
'I can picture her angry face as well, hehehe.'
She was cute.
But messing with her when we were only at this level was nothing less than asking for a death sentence.
"Hehe, but, let me tell you one thing, ▼▼▼.
We know quite a lot of things about many of the things about many of the places, even things that you or the beings like the headmaster do not know about.
If you listen to our occasional suggestions and learn from us, I guarantee you'll be able to 'grow' faster than you might have in all these millennia.
We know how to progress with the 'World evolution' and stuff as well so, if you help us here, when the time comes, we will help you with many more things… however, that's only if you want to, okay?
I accept we tried to manipulate you a moment ago but, it was only because you wouldn't have been able to figure out the solution or, perhaps the solution that you might have concluded, would not have been satisfactory to the Worldline or the spectators watching us.
You did well this time, didn't you, so… how would you like to continue this relationship?
You are smart, and wise so, I know you would make a proper decision."
She was quite easy to deal with when she was angry.
Leading her ego in these situations is especially easier.
[ *Hmmm… I am wise, obviously. I am also smart so I know what to do. Yes, alright. I have my answers, you two.* ]
[Ding!]
[ *But, if we are going to be in a relationship, I don't want to be the only one receiving your 'help' for free.* ]
Of course, you don't.
'That was how we made you to be.'
[The final reward calculation has been completed.]
[You are presented with a choice.]
Two option windows appeared before us, finally. And without a moment of hesitation, we chose to keep the dungeon as our own.
[You have selected to own the dungeon rights, and have received the ownership of the <D> ranked dimensional dungeon: Devilant colony.]
[It has been detected that the dimensional dungeon possesses a 'door' that connects the existing world with the otherworld.]
[Ding!]
[It has been judged that the door is part of the dungeon, however, the world beyond that door is not part of the world. Thus, the door will be categorized as a [Gateway] to the otherworld.]
[As the owners of the dungeon, ID: Lucifer, as well as ID: Auriel, have received the title: <Owners of gateway>.]
[As the main reward for clearing the dimensional dungeon, you have received: (Dungeon manager contract)*2.]
[As the main reward for clearing the dimensional dungeon, you have received: (Power of earth)* one-time use.]
[As the main reward for clearing the dimensional dungeon, you have received: (Dimensional laboratory pass)*3.]
[As the extra reward for clearing the dimensional dungeon and additional achievements, you have received a random skill book (Gold)*2]
"Well, damn. Weren't you a little too generous with these things?"
The rewards were good.
Like, fucking too good to be true level good.
[ "She ain't gonna talk anymore for a while after doing this." ]
[ "Hehe, she must have given these things as an investment into us, or at least, she should have told herself it is an investment. Lol, she has a cuter personality than she used to." ]
The rewards were good.
So good I have no complaints about them at all.
And many of it was just the things that we needed at the moment.
[[ It was quite something seeing you on your own voice of the world, stupid master. ]]
[[ Hehehe, one was amazed, then one thought about how this voice must be a young one, and imagining her expression made this funnier. One believes this one must be a cute voice. ]]
[ "She is cute, okay?" ]
She definitely is cute. That's why we were planning to have her before we were ready to overthrow the empire.
'She will be quite helpful. And it will be fun playing with her and the other girls, hehe.'
Our adventures with her would be fun, however, now that things are over on this side…
[ "So then, how about we go out?" ]
It was time to return to our world, see how long had passed, and… return back to my dear cute Nessy with hopes that not too long had passed in that world.
'The time flow problem with this dungeon would take a while to get solved, however, we don't have to come back here for a while, so, it's alright.'
Making the cure for their disease will take a while, and, if too long hasn't passed in our world, we should be fine with everything…
'Though if a few months or years had passed there, we're gonna have a lot to deal with on our hands.'
