Lazy Dungeon Master-Chapter 573: Bridegroom Training Extra: Those Remembered

"Peaceful, isn't it?"

I had completely relaxed, sunbathing in the village meadow.

"Oh…! I heard about it, but it seems to have developed quite a bit, Muzoh."

"There was only an inn here before. Uzoh."

Such voices from a duo reached me. They noticed me and approached.

"Oh! Kehma-san! It's Kehma-san, Muzoh!"

"Yeah, Uzoh. It's Kehma-san. Uh, feeling nostalgic, tears are welling up."

"… Uzoh and Muzoh, huh. Long time no see."

For a moment, I wondered who they were, but since these two were calling each other by name, I quickly remembered. The Uzoh-Muzoh brothers, an adventurer duo who weren't actually blood related with each other. When this dungeon was still named [Ordinary Cave], they came to investigate the developed dungeon after a Dungeon Battle and got trapped in the [Magic Sword Trial Room], nearly starving. Later, the [Magic Sword Trial Room] was named the [Avarice Trap]… In a sense, it became the origin of the name of this dungeon, the [Cave of Desire].

"Oh, it's been a while. You finally made it back."

"Did Kehma-san create this village? Amazing, there's even a tavern."

"Well, you could say I just made it… In celebration of our reunion, I'll treat you to lunch today."

"Really?! I want to eat that stew with beef again. Right, Muzoh?"

"Yeah, Uzoh. But I sense there's something else delicious now."

The Uzoh-Muzoh brothers seemed delighted. I owed them for giving me my beloved sword, Siesta. It was quite cheap to return the favor.

"By the way, Kehma-san, what happened to that magic sword?"

"You're not wearing it today… Did you sell it after all?"

"No way. I use it a lot; I even lend it to my subordinates."

It was convenient when conducting Mass at the church. Without resistance, only a few people could use it without falling asleep. Rei, who had resistance from the orb, could use it without any problems.

"For inducing sleep… that's quite useful. So that's how you're using it, Kehma-san! Right, Muzoh?"

"Absolutely. There was a fixed idea that swords and weapons are only for battle. He's not bound by that, Uzoh."

"Don't let the believers know. It's better if they find it mysterious without knowing."

Yeah, yeah, nodded the impressed Uzoh-Muzoh brothers. Anyway, I took them to the inn's dining room to treat them to some lunch.

"Oh? If it isn't the Uzoh-Muzoh brothers! Long time no see; are you still alive?"

The representative adventurer dwarf, Gozoh, who happened to be in the dining room, called out. Apparently, they'd become acquaintances when I was active in Tsuia.

"Oh! Gozoh-san! Yeah, still kicking. We were away for a bit. Right, Uzoh?"

"Yeah. I went to the Demonlands with Muzoh. It was an amazing place, the Demonlands."

"The Demonlands? Oh, Kehma went there quite a while ago, I recall."

"We actually saw him there too."

That was during the tournament, right? Just how did they see me in such a large city… well, maybe us just being the same race in a sea of non-humans made it easier for them to see me. Moreover, black hair is rare.

"Kehma-san was really strong. I still remember the three-way finals of the martial arts tournament."

"Yeah. He effortlessly blocked the attacks from Hero Wataru and another person. Essentially, it was a 2-on-1 situation. If not for that, Kehma-san would have won!"

"Hmm, so that's how the fight went."

At that time, I was aiming for second place, but because of Wataru and the others, I ended up tying for first place. Due to that, we had to redo the finals with three people, dealing with various things.

"By the way, Gozoh-san, could you teach us some money-making methods around here? We're penniless."

"We managed to return to the Empire by paying off the debt we accumulated in the Demonlands. Well, it increased our strength, though."

"Is that so? Well, if we talk about making money around here, it's Golem hunting."

"Golems, huh. It might not be the best match, but it should work, Muzoh."

"Yeah, Uzoh. Without being attacked from behind by creatures like Squijira and Shironaga, it should be easier."

Apparently, they were often attacked by aggressive creatures while working in the Demonlands.

"… If you let your guard down, you get punched from behind. During work, you know?"

"But being careless is your fault. Well, you get used to it…"

It's been a while since I heard about the Demonlands. It's a country of carnage.

"I see. Considering your weapons, something other than Iron Golems might be better for making money."

"I won't ask for anything luxurious, but if there's something else, it would be helpful if you could tell us. We'll express our gratitude."

"I can use a bit of magic now, but our partners are still these guys here." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

The Uzoh-Muzoh brothers each lifted their Blade Golems, still sheathed.

"Oh! Those are magic swords from this dungeon, right? You've used them quite a bit."

"Yeah. Kehma-san also taught us the maintenance tips. By the way, Kehma-san said he learned it from the village blacksmith. I'd like to thank that person too."

"Kantra, right? He's my relative; I'll introduce you later."

Gozoh seemed a bit cheerful, perhaps because his family was praised.

"Hey, speaking of which, I know I'm the village chief and all, but is there any other way to make money in this village besides Iron Golems?"

"Hm? There are quite a few, like escorting delivery requests, guiding beginner adventurers, etc. Recently, guarding and maintaining the park, and working at stalls have been safe and lucrative jobs."

Ah, so there are such things.

"Also, helping with sugar production is relatively good. Most of the heavy lifting is done by the Golem lent out by the village chief's wife, so it's surprisingly easy."

"Hmm. When did Rokuko start making pocket money like that…"

Note that the rental fee for the Golem was about half the daily wage of a hired adventurer. Perhaps Rokuko was making quite a bit of money? With the income from the inn as well…

"Both sugar and a dungeon… It's understandable a village like this appeared so quick."

"For now, let's go hunt Iron Golems tomorrow and then take it easy looking at various things. I wonder if the dungeon has changed a lot?"

After that, the Uzoh-Muzoh brothers apparently stayed overnight at Gozoh's house. They exchanged various bits of information while having a home party. They apologized for not staying at my inn, but I told them to not worry about it. Business was booming, after all.
