Chapter 86: No Longer a Dungeon.
*Celia’s POV*
A few days later, I was feeling completely fine. Which is good, because being sick always sucks. Regardless of how sick that you end up being. Though I was resting, Hadi came over, and helped me get better with using magic. It’s sorta annoying, but I haven’t had an actual chance to use magic in a fight…
Training with Hadi was quite fun, and I learned a lot from her. Oddly, the dungeon exploration class, was completely shut down. So now I had only had two classes to attend. The reason why it was canceled, is due to the fact that most dungeons have become extremely dangerous. It is far too risky to let random students explore them.
Without my knowledge, Hadi had become the main teacher for magic class, so she just gave me good grades, and faked my attendance.
Why she was able to do this, is because of my dungeon. She consumed so many Mana Crystals, and had so much time to research, that she came to many new revelations about using magic. She submitted these findings, and was now respected in the same way that Amelie is respected.
Which basically means, she can do whatever she wants now. Currently, I was sitting down on a couch, drinking some tea with Hadi. I felt like I could completely trust her now, so I decided to reveal something to her.
Celia: “Hey, Hadi, I can use a System.” I say with a nonchalant tone.
Hadi reacted by spitting out the tea from her mouth. The maids quickly cleaned her, and the surroundings up. It took Hadi a few minutes to regain her composure.
Hadi: “Celia… your words are the truth, right?” She asked with an unsure tone.
Celia: “They are. Only a few know of this, but I trust you enough now to reveal this truth to you.” I reply.
Hadi: “Then… could you look at my Status, and then write it down for me?” She asked with an excited tone.
Celia: “Of course.” I reply with a nod.
I mean, I have been dying to check out this woman’s Status for the longest goddamn time, after all. With an excited expression, I used the Inspect Skill on Hadi.

Ah, so she really is a part of the royal family of this kingdom… How cool! She is also a Goddess as well! But, it looks like she hasn’t gained a domain yet, so she is just a Goddess without any specialty. I shook my head to wake up from ogling at her Status, and then wrote it down for her to explore.
Hadi: “This is… Celia, you aren’t afraid that I am a Goddess?” She asked with a nervous tone.
Celia: “I do not wish to reveal their identities without their permission, but I know quite a few higher beings. Of which, they already informed me that you’re a Goddess.” I answer.
Hadi: “Well, that certainly makes me happy to hear. Thank you for trusting me so much.” She said with a bright smile.
Ah, girls sure are cute when they smile. If I ever become a crazy queen, I should make a law that you have to make a girl smile, at least once every day. And it has to be a genuine smile as well, if you’re caught faking it, or forcing the girl to do it, death without trial! Yeah, it would be best for me NOT to become a queen…
Wait… aren’t I already the queen of those Goblins in my dungeon? Well, it’s not like I WANT to take advantage of Goblins… What could I even gain from that? All of those Goblins just look like normal fantasy ones. There weren’t any “Goblins” that looked like a human with just green skin. I CHECKED! No luck with that one…
Anyway, I answered pretty much every question about my System that Hadi asked. She had some business to attend to, so she left shortly after that. Come to think of it, I am actually curious about what my dungeon looks like now… Without any hesitation, I went to my dungeon to check it out.
Lia and Nia were still attending classes right now, so it’s not like I had anything else to actually do at the moment. Once in my dungeon, like clockwork, I was shocked once again. This place, it no longer looked at all like a dungeon…
Fuck… No wonder that Kuria wanted to live here… It wasn’t a place with regal looking walls anymore. Now, this dungeon, if you could even call it that anymore, was basically just its own new kingdom…
The various rooms were replaced by lush landscapes, with regal looking buildings here and there. The Goblins had truly built their own city. Well, I think that those maids had a hand in making it look so good. Speaking of said maids, the one that I knew, showed up to greet me. Does she have a radar for me, or something?…
Cute Maid: “Ah, Lady Celia! It is good to have you visit us.” She said with a happy smile.
Celia: “This place… should it even be considered a dungeon at this point?” I ask with a sigh.
Cute Maid: “As there is still a dungeon core, yes. But this place is practically its own city. If you look around, you will see various different races all living here.” She replied.
And just like she said, there were so many different kinds of people just walking around. Uh… you know, I didn’t exactly consent to having these people just live here?…
Celia: “Where did they all come from?” I ask with spiral eyes.
Cute Maid: “We set up a dimensional portal in the center of town. So, basically, everyone living here, besides us, the maids, and the Goblins, are all from different dimensions.” She explained.
Celia: “Am I really the queen of a place that grows rapidly every time that I visit it, and all without my consent?” I ask.
Cute Maid: “So it seems? Regardless, as you’re the sole owner of this place, whatever you say, goes. Though, there people who oversee parts of it.” She replied.
Celia: “Who would that be?” I ask.
Cute Maid: “Just people from different dimensions, no need to worry about it.” She replied with a shrug.
And then the cute maid ran off, probably to go have sex with a random woman that her group captured… Thinking about this will just give me a headache… Sure, I should just let these people grow and expand my dungeon, all without any of my input.
What do I even have to lose? Not much, when it comes to this dungeon. It was just a random thing that I picked up, and not something that I planned on focusing a lot of my attention on.
The one thing I did focus on, was my weapons development. It took a little bit of time to find where the weapons manufacturing area was relocated to. Rather than Goblins, there were Dwarves manning the workshop. This was pretty cool, considering that their race doesn’t actually exist in this dimension at all…
They had a few prototype firearms made, mainly flintlock ones. I tested a few out, and I would say that these prototypes are good enough to start manufacturing in bulk. Just another thing to add to the list of resources that I have to bribe the demon kingdom with…
Before I left, I gave them a few of my modern weapons, so that they could break them down and figure out how to make them. The Dwarves eyes lit up with excitement, and then they completely ignored me while they lusted over the firearms that I gave them.
Okay, cool, I’ll just leave now… Teleporting back to my house, I was greeted by Lia and Nia. Was I really in my dungeon that long? It surely didn’t feel like that long…
Nia: “Ah, Celia, you’re just in time!” She exclaimed.
Celia: “I don’t like the sound of that… In time for what?” I ask with a nervous tone.
Lia: “The Guild found another difficult to deal with dungeon, and they have requested for us to deal with it.” She explained in Nia’s stead.
Celia: “Okay, just as long as there aren’t any spiders in it.” I reply.
They reassured me that there won’t be any spiders, and then we set off in a carriage. Though, why did they request us specifically? Hadi isn’t with us either… Is this a trap?…
