Chapter 137 - Monke And The Invitations
Arriving at the Human Town after traversing the barren passageway rarely used by the monsters, but regularly used by the humans and demi-humans to reach the Monster Town, I looked around and saw some new faces here and there, but I could count all of them with my fingers, and still have some left over.
'If I'm not mistaken, I should have about 20 or so humans right about now… Actually, why not check their numbers? And while I'm at it, check the number of monsters I have.'
Accessing the Dungeon Menu without being seen by the humans and demi-humans, I quickly got a list that showed me the current resident population of my Dungeon.
Goblin = 119
Kobold = 109
Orc = 48
Wild Boar = 73
Deer = 59
Lizardman = 13
Human = 26
Beastman = 7
Dragonewt = 1
.Elves = 7
Gnome = 2
Alraune = 23
Arachne = 12
Rabbits = 86
Wolves = 32
Ogres = 5
Trolls = 12
Total: 634
'Damn… I didn't realize that the population was this big… Then again, most of them are just the normal animals instead of the monsters, but still, they are a lot…' I rubbed my chin as I walked my way past the gawking humans and demi-humans, some looking at me with awe and fear, while others were apprehensive.
That's fine, at least none of them looked at me with hate-filled eyes. That would be a bigger problem than just regular fear, which can be dealt with by accommodating them properly. While those apprehensive thoughts, I can just give them a reason to not be apprehensive anymore.
Not minding those humans and demi-humans, I made my way towards the house where the group, which consisted of the two gnomes, the male elf, and the human child, currently resided, with the catgirl also facing rehabilitation and therapy inside.
Good news about giving those traumatized girls to the humans and demi-humans. I can finally see progress with them regaining their sanity. The human woman was slowly, but surely, regaining some function in her mental faculties which shows that she is no longer a vegetable.
The catgirl was also making the same progress as the human woman. However, with the absence of her little brother, Eron, I assumed from her pained cries before, hers was slightly lower.
The Dragonewt, however, still stayed asleep and unconscious. I don't what happened, but I think she isn't waking up anytime soon. That said, how is she still alive without even ingesting some nutrients for her body for about two weeks now?
Maybe it's because of her non-human body, which is a plausible idea, but I still need to find a way to help her survive while comatose. She is, after all, a strong type of demi-human, if my DP income is any indication. From her alone, my DP income is increased by a whopping 200 plus daily.
Finally, in front of the door, after a walk with my mind stirring in my thoughts, I brought my hand to the door and knocked gently, making sure that my strength didn't accidentally destroy the wooden frame.
"Coming!"
I heard a shrill voice coming from behind the door. Waiting for a few seconds, I saw the door open and Lara became apparent in my vision, her tight vest and long-sleeved clothing clinging tightly to her tiny frame.
"Ah, Jionni!" Lara squeaked up from her position, before tilting her head in confusion. "Do you have some business with us?"
"Indeed, I have. Could you call your group and have them gather at the meeting hall? I'm having the rest gather as well."
"Oh, okay. I'll notify them now." Lara nodded her head and zoomed to do her tasks, leaving the door wide open, revealing the interior to me. Nothing too extravagant, except that it's completely modern.
Satisfied with the quick action, I turned on my heels and headed for the next house housing the twin elves, which wasn't that far away from here.
I knocked on their door and waited for a few seconds before I heard a rustling from behind it. The door opened, and I was bombarded with a lightly-dressed Mariona looking at me like she had just run a marathon, her skin glistening with sweat.
Upon further instruction, I noticed some sort of liquid leaking out of her pants, as well as the smell of something not safe for work coming from the inside. Connecting the dots, I facepalmed and deadpanned at the sheepish looking elf.
"Do you two not have anything in your schedule that doesn't have anything to do with sex?" I asked with my hands still on my face, Mariona looking even more sheepish and embarrassed than before. "Actually, nevermind… You're not the only twins I know that have this kind of relationship, and theirs are even more kinky than yours."
Removing my hand from my face, I decided to take on a professional image, even with the distractions littering my eyes and mind, and with a sexy, straight-from-having-sex elf right in front of me, I was having a hard time keeping composure.
At least having sex with Catalina gave me a bit of a resistance to this type of situation.
"Anyway, cut you're fun short, we're having a meeting at the meeting hall. I'll tell you the reason once you're there." I said with a no-nonsense tone, my eyes straining as they focused on the eyes of the elf instead of the scantily clad breasts and groin. "And please, clean yourselves before you go there. I don't want the atmosphere inside the meeting hall to be awkward because of the smell you twins are emitting."
"… A-alright." Mariona nodded bashfully. Behind her, Merethyl, clad in her birthday suit, sighed and went straight to the bathroom.
"Then, that will be all." Leaving the twins to their bathroom session, which I'm sure will devolve into more risqué situations, I left the area and headed for the house that was currently inhabited by the Shaiydon family.
I arrive at the modest, but still extravagant (for this time period, at least...) house after a few minutes of walking and ignoring the gawking from some new faces. Wait, there are modern houses here… So… But there are medieval houses too… Bah, my brain hurts…
Knocking on the door a few times, I waited for a brief second before the door opened and Luke greeted me with a smile.
"Oh, Sir Jionni. I didn't think you would be visiting. Can I help you?" Luke asked, all polite and whatnot. I smiled back at his politeness that was drilled into him due to the training a Knight gets in this world.
"Sure, could you please tell the Shaiydon's patriarch to come to the meeting hall ASAP? We have some very important topics to discuss, some regarding these new faces that have arrived, which I assume you have already met." Luke nodded when my assumption was given. "Good. You're also invited, by the way. Let the matriarch take care of their children for the time being. I would like these topics to be settled at a moment's notice."
"Right away, Sir Jionni." Luke bowed and closed the door gently, leaving me all alone again at the front door. Satisfied with my work, I then headed to the next, house, which housed the Gallaghers.
It was beside the Shaiydon's family house, so it wasn't that much of a walk. Knocking on their door, I waited again until the door opened, revealing a lightly sweating Alexa wearing tank tops and spats. Her sweat glistened under the light, the light heaves of air causing her chest to rise up and down slowly.
I assumed she was exercising, since I could also see gloves on her hands.
"Mr. Jionni? Can I help you with anything?" Alexa's secretary tone was already greeting my ears the moment she looked at me with all of her focus.
"Indeed, please call your father and tell him to come to the meeting hall ASAP. We have some important topics to discuss regarding the new faces, so I assume that you know how important this discussion is." Alexa nodded, her eyebrows rising ever so slightly, but followed my words anyway. "Also, you are also invited to come. This includes everyone here, so I'm sure that your input will also be needed."
Alexa stopped for a moment, but continued to call her father and close the door. Seeing that my work was done, I headed to the meeting hall where everybody would gather and a conference would be held.
"This is going to be fun…" My sarcasm was thick, but so was my responsibility for my Dungeon. This needed to be discussed right now, so that my Dungeon and these humans and demi-humans can flourish and be greater.
Sighing and forcing my feet to trudge all the way to the meeting hall where I would be discussing with the humans and demi-humans the treatment of the new faces, I mused in my head what the other Dungeon Masters felt in their early days if they decided to try what I was doing.
'Pain and suffering, no doubt about it…' I grinned grimly as my feet took me all the way to the meeting hall.
