49 Dungeon Core No. 695?
Hey, Shun here!
After reincarnating, I came to realize that natural airheads, or idiots for short, is really hard to find. They are kind of a unique species of their own.
During my nearly two decades of living in my own dimension, I've never really met any other naturally airheaded people other than my older sister, Shizuka-nee.

(Shun's POV)
Today, after receiving a quest from the [Quest] from the [Group Chat], I met a God who's basically begging me to make a wish to him. I really feel bad now for not asking something.
Hmm… Wait a minute…
Since this is a fantasy world and God is basically asking me to wish for a cheat, I think it's safe to assume that there are people with cheats in this world.
Dang, how could I forget such a thing?
With the current skills I have, I think the thing I need the most right now would be protection from abnormal statuses and something like [Appraisal], right?
"Then, I have a wish I want, God."
"Oho!? You finally have a wish you want to be granted by yours truly?"
"That's right. I would like to have protection from abnormal statuses like charm, sleep, and other CC effects? Oh, it would be much appreciated if I could toggle these on and off."
"Granted! Good good. Now, ask for another one so that we can be done here and so that I could send you to where you requested."
What else do I need? I pretty much have the strength I needed to survive in a fantasy world if I play it safe.
Tsuka is really strong even though she's still an infant while I have the strength of my broken character from [NWO]. I have mana, magic power, or whatever now as well so I don't need to make a wish regarding having mana or magic.
Uhh… The quest did say something about a dungeon, right? If that's the case, there would be treasure there and deadly traps so some good fortune would be needed over there.
"Can you give me great fortune? I don't want just good fortune so, please. Could you do that?"
"Easily. Okay, now that all of your wishes are granted, let me now send you to the place you requested. Once you leave this place, you will immediately receive the things that you asked for."
The God of Light then waved his sparkling hands at me before saying, "Good luck to you, Mr. Shun Shirokami. Also, please don't tell the previous War God what happened here…"
"Okay? You helped me a lot so I'll lend you a hand as well…"
"I thank you from the bottom of my heart."
While hearing him heave a sigh of relief, I was gradually enveloped with light for the second time today.
✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽
"O-Oooohh! A-Alright! Really great! The summoning worked! …Wait, it's a human!? But whyyy!?"
When I opened my eyes once again I appeared in a room with a faintly glowing floor and white walls…
Could it still be called a "room" if it's filled as big as a gymnasium? I don't know for sure as well.
Either way, that's where I ended up in.
Oh? Is that the summoning magic circle that I read about in light novels? It's filled with intricate patterns and is also faintly glowing beneath my feet.
The magic circle aside, currently, in front of me was a beautiful girl that looked a lot like the kind of princess knights you could find in all sorts of video games. She's probably around the same age as Miu?
She had golden hair that reached all the way down to her waist and a firm, though somewhat childish gaze. And lastly, long white boots that went all the way up to her thighs.
The red dress she is wearing looks really great on her.
While I was busy, immersed in my own thoughts, I suddenly heard some kind of announcement ring beside my ears.
「You have learned [Ultra Protection]: Level 3」
「You have learned [Ultra Great Fortune]: Level 3」
Oh? Is this the cheats that the God promised? Neat. Although, why are they at level three already?
"But why?! I spent all of my DP, why'd I have to get a small fry like thiiis…"
First, I have to worry about this blonde girl in front of me.
"Would you mind explaining to me where I am?"
I asked to be transported to a dungeon without a dungeon master and not to this weird room with a girl. Is that God setting me up with his grandchild or something?
"Eh?!"
"You don't mind, right? I mean, you're the only person here so…"
"I-IT TAAAAALKED?!"
What's with this girl? Why is she so worked up on something like me talking? Wait, what language am I speaking right now?
Umm… it looks like it's formally called as Liverio Empire's Language. However, the other language of humans aren't that different to one another.
I guess it's just the accent and stuff.
Language aside, this girl reminds me so much of Miu. Both her and Miu could be eye candies if they just shut up and try not to be too hyperactive.
"Grrr, what's going on?! I've never heard of gacha monsters talking! …Oh, right, it's a human. Makes sense that it can talk, then. I guess."
"What are you talking about miss? What do you mean by Gacha monster?"
"Ah, W-Well, you see… Wait, no, what's with you? I'm the one who summoned you, so you should just listen to everything I say."
"Is your mom or dad around? I kinda want to ask them a question or two so…"
"I'm not a child! Listen up! You're a monster that's been summoned by me, this dungeon's Core! I'll work you to the bone until you die, got it?!"
Dungeon Core… Monster… Yeah, I finally have an idea as to what's going on. If that God was telling the truth, this girl should be the person who summoned me.
Good thing I told that God not to make me a hero. I don't want to deal with nobility and such. They sound so troublesome from what I saw from my predecessor's memories.
"C'mon, stand up and go outside already! Kill all those bandits! I spent 1000 DP on you, so you're actually really strong, right?!"
Holy crap, this girl. She sure started saying some pretty violent things out of the blue. I'm a little surprised, honestly.
Why a little only? This is fantasy man, even a baby could start talking about killing and stuff.
"Alright, first, calm down. I'll listen to what you've got to say, but you gotta help me out here. What's a Dungeon Core? What is DP? I know what a monster is so you don't have to tell me that one."
"Oh wow, I'm impressed. Makes sense that a talking creature like you could be a little smart. Maybe you're a swordsman-type monster, given the sword you have… Well, whatever. This is my dungeon. And obviously, this is the Master Room within me, the Dungeon Core."
Okay, that answers some of my questions.
"Alright. What about the Dungeon Master?"
"Oh, you know about Dungeon Masters? That's interesting. Unfortunately, my dungeon doesn't have one. Oh, wait. I guess that would make me the Dungeon Master, kinda?"
Naturally, I knew nothing about the Dungeon Masters and Dungeon Cores of this dimension, but I could tell they existed given the quest I received and thanks to my love for fantasy.
But she did mention that she's a Dungeon Core. This means that she's the heart of the dungeon, right?
But, uhh… How can a human be a Dungeon Core?
"You mentioned earlier about me being a human, but aren't you a human too?"
"Nuh-uh. This is just my human form… Hey! Wait a second! You need to start calling me 'master!'"
"Master? Why? Are you my sword instructor or something? Oh, wait, you haven't told me your name yet. What is your name miss?"
"Me? I'm Dungeon Core Number 695."
A number? Really? Her parents sure is lazy for naming her like that… but wait. If she's number 695, that must mean there's 694 other dungeon cores. This means that there are 694 more dungeons.
Okay, I take back what I said. Thinking up of names for so many people would really leave someone burnt out.
"Alright, since you're basically named by a number, I guess I'll follow suit and call you Rokuko now?"
"Um? I'm what?"
"I mean, it'd be pretty hard to call you Dungeon Core Number yada yada yada, so I'll just call you Rokuko. This'll make your full name into Rokuko Dungeon Core. By the way, my name is Shun Shirakami."
I bowed to her slightly as a sign of courtesy.
"My friends call me Shun but most of the time they call me [Admin]. Recently, the two girls I'm teaching in swordsmanship and the girl I'm teaching in wielding shields started calling me Sensei or Master Shun, though."
Looking at the sword hanging around her waist, I couldn't help but offer to teach her. Recently, I've been enjoying teaching the girls a lot.
"Why don't I become your master in swordsmanship so that you could make use of that decorative sword?"
Dungeon Core Number 695, now known as Rokuko, looked at me with complete bafflement in her eyes.
"What? Sensei… Master Shun? It looks like you're good enough with the sword that you could even accept disciples, huh… Wait, what did you just make me sa—"
「Shun Shirokami has been recognized as Dungeon Master.」
"Eh?"
"Wha?"
Rokuko and I both said at the same time.
A transparent, green window popped up before my eyes. It looked like that menu of [OSO] that I see all the time. Written on that window in white letters was a message describing that I had been recognized as this dungeon's master.
I have no idea what's going on, but I guess I completed one of my quests just now.
"Menu! Hold on! I take it back! Cancel! Undo what happened just now!"
Rokuko summoned her own window and shouted at it, but nothing happened in particular. I guess there's no changing that now?
"Speak a little calmly. I mean, just calm down and let's talk. I'm also confused you know?"
"Wh-What's with you? W-Wow… I feel really calm now."
Eh? She calmed down just like that?
Oh, that's right. I'm the Dungeon Master now. And it looks like dungeons have to obey their master no matter what…

Author's Remarks:
※ Oh, did someone guessed right? This world is at the dimension of Lazy Dungeon Master. I've been reading the novel since it was still in web version so I wanted to create a fanfic about it. Also, I really quite like Rokuko and her sister so…
