《My Birthday Wish to be a Dungeon Master was Granted!》Chapter 5: Creating a Source of Income
Advertisement
A week passed since the incident. I have 21 days left to prepare and yet, no one entered my dungeon! I'm saving my DP for now but this continues, I won't be able to create a dungeon worthy to show the mystery man that brought me here. But what can I do?
“Master? What are you thinking about?”
Shironeko who was sitting on my lap asked me a question.
“Ah. I'm just thinking about how to get a source of income for my dungeon.”
“Income? What is that?”
I forgot she was an 8-year-old.
“Shironeko, income is where you get money. And right now, we have little income.”
Shironeko tilted her head with a questioning look. I'll stop discussing with her about my dungeon from now on. I then directed my gaze towards the screen. I saw a pair of women at the entrance. One has green hair and is holding a staff. The other is a redhead wielding two daggers. A mage and a scout based on my observations and experience reading novels.
The two slowly advanced through the passage and arrived at the first trap. The redhead noticed it and warned the green-haired girl. They walked around it and advanced slowly. They then arrived at the first room. The girls went inside to be greeted by 5 goblins and 5 horned rabbits. I moved the other spawners to the other rooms. And in the first room, those two are the only spawners inside. I listened in to their conversation.

~Redhead Girl POV~
“Mia! Hurry up! I can't hold them back any longer!
I blocked another attack from a goblin with one of my daggers and kicked the goblin away. I stabbed a charging horned rabbit in the head. I then kicked it away and blocked another attack from a goblin.

“Mia! Hurry up!”
I spun around and stab the neck of the goblin attacking me. And another horned rabbit came charging at me. I sidestepped and stabbed its abdomen.
“Get back! [Mega Fireball]!”
The [Mega Fireball] is a tier 3 spell that can decimate a huge number.
I jumped back to avoid the area of effect. The fireball landed on one of the goblins and exploded, causing the nearby monsters to burn. What was left was ashes from the burned monsters and scorched ground.
“Fuuu...”
“Finally. Took you long enough.”
I breathed a sigh of relief before taking a rest.
“Neh neh Kahami-san? What request did you take back at the guild?”
“Hmm. I think it was hunting 10 goblins... ... Uwwwaaahhhh!?? The proofs!! They're all gone!!”
After realizing the mistake we made, I cried in anguish.
“Mia!! Don't use any more spells that can destroy the body of a monster!!”
“But you told me to get rid of them in one spell because of how numerous they were.”
When I remembered what I said to her earlier, I shut up and spouted excuses.
“I- is that so? Then let's just find another goblin nest.”
“Right right.”
We stood up and headed deeper into the dungeon.

~Daichi POV~
The two girls headed deeper into my dungeon. Both of them generated 500 DP per day. Delicious! They then reached the second room. The second room is composed of only goblin spawners. This time, they will complete their request I thought. But then they made their same mistake as earlier.
“Seriously? They made the same mistake again?”
After giving my retort, they rested once more. What should I do to these two? Human imprisonment? Hmm. I'll trap them inside for a day. I created a secret passage and room right after the second room on the first floor. I made them twice as small as the normal rooms and passage. Then made a trap that will isolate them for a day. I also didn't forget to put an empty treasure chest to lure them in. The total cost was 750 DP. 500 for the room and passageway, 200 for the trap, and 50 for the treasure chest. Now, what will they do?

~Kahami POV~
While we were resting, a hole opened up on the north side of the room. When we checked the hole, there was another room up ahead and inside was a treasure chest.
“Mia! There is a treasure chest in here!”
“Really! Then what are waiting for? Let's go!”
We excitedly hurried into the room. We then opened the chest and...
“What!!??”
It was empty!! Damn it!! And just when I thought we could make a huge sum of money!
“...!?”
And without us noticing, the room closed up and we were trapped inside.
*****
~Daichi POV~
Is this real? Is this really real? Daily DP income 5150. Seriously? Just being isolated gives five times the Daily DP income. Now I want to keep them there forever. But I can't. Wait, let me do something.
*****
~Kahami POV~
While I and Mia were contemplating on how to get out of this trap, some kind of writings appeared on the wall.
{Dear travelers
If you would be so kind to stay here for three days, I'll give you a very grand treasure when you leave. Of course, you will get free food and some kind of entertainment should you wish for it. And don't worry about a toilet I'll make one for you. But if you decline, then stay here for a full day without the services and leave tomorrow without gaining anything. So travelers, what will you choose?}
This writing on the wall gave us two choices. Either stay here in three days, get free food, a toilet, entertainment, and treasure when we leave. Or, stay here for a full day without any of the above-mentioned services and leave here without the treasure. For me, I'll definitely choose the first option.
“Mia. What would you choose?”
“I'd choose the first option. At least, we will be able to live without worries.”
“Then it's decided.”
*****
~Daichi POV~
The two girls agreed to the terms I gave them. I then accessed the Dungeon Management tab and created two beds, a restroom, a square table and two chairs. Also for entertainment, I gave them a checkers board with the instruction. Now that should be enough for now. The total expense for their room was only 250 DP and I'm gaining 5000 DP per day for three days. That may be cheap to you, but for them, its just enough to live another three days. I also didn't forget to give those two food. I gave them a curry dish each.
Phew... For now, I secured a DP source for three days. But what about the next day after that? Well, I'll just cross that bridge when I get there.
