《Dungeon Maker》Book 2 Chapter 4
Advertisement
As we reach the adventurers guild with the guard captain, that kept checking out Charlotte's body, we arrived quickly.
“Thank you for your help back there.” Charlotte said and gave a small bow.
“No need, after all the party of a Human Dungeon maker who is also a hero can’t be bad especially with such a gentle girl in it.” She said gently and instantly I went on the alert.
“How do you know about me being a dungeon maker?” I asked narrowing my eyes.
“I am the guard captain of this town, of course all reports on anything important comes to me. Vice captain Zenos obviously told me about a human that was a dungeon maker with very advanced wooden puppets and one particular giant knight based puppet with the strength of a Vice general of the army. You think I wouldn’t pay attention for such a person?” She replied.
“... Want me to answer that truthfully?” I asked hinting.
She grinned. “Okay there is that.” She muttered and looked at Misaki checking her out but shrine maiden clothes and samurai armor concealed most of the curves.
“What are you looking at!” Misaki said irritably.
“Nothing.” The guard captain said with a smile making Misaki even more irritated.
“Cross-san, let us go inside already, I am starving after such a long trip!” Misaki said.
“There goes our money.” I mutter and sigh.
“What was that!” She said as she flicked the katana out of its sheath letting 3 cm of the base shine in the dusk light.
“Yeah yeah, come on japanese glutton. Might as well buy our food with some quality crops.” I cursed as I walked inside.
“Hold on you! Is that how you treat a maiden!” The guard captain said.
“Hm? Do you by chance want to see how much she eats. You can’t underestimate her body size, she can fit three times her stomach size worth of food in that petite figure of hers.” I said.
“CROSS-SAN!” Misaki’s rage had was causing her hair to rise with the killing intent and her eyes seem to shine with murderous intent and wanting to torture me slowly.
At this time the door opened and Luna popped out.
“Ah! Mistress! You’re back! I missed you!” Luna exclaimed. Her attire was still the elven catgirl getup. I wonder how badly Misaki would take it if I told her I was carrying a torture room with all of Luna’s things.
“Luna?” The guard captain exclaimed.
“Hmm? Auntie? What are you doing with Ace and mistress?” Luna asked.
“Huh?” Me, Hermes, Charlotte and Misaki said together.
“Auntie?” I asked.
“Ah right, this is my second aunt by blood, she is a bit of a strange half breed elf between my great uncle who married a sun elf. The mix caused made her into this tan amazon beauty.” Luna said.
“Who is an amazon you little brat! And you didn’t answer me! Why are you with these four?” The guard captain said.
“Well… Kyaa!” Luna blushed and cupped both hands on her cheeks and squealed like a little girl.
At once the captain knew more or less happened.
“Which one of you claimed her?” She said with a sharp dangerous glint in her eye and a pressure that made us almost stop breathing and in an instant, Hermes, Charlotte and I point at Misaki.
The pressure instantly vanished as a gentle smile appeared on the captain's face.
“Oh my, if it’s such a pretty girl then I will let you have my little niece. This girls fetish is quite troublesome to handle so at least I have the peace of mind that it’s not with some stinky old man.” the captain said. “Please take care of my little girl.”

“Mistress isn’t this gre… URF!”
Luna had run forward to hug Misaki but before she got within 1 meter of her Misaki’s sheathed Katana had down four swings on the left side of the neck, below the left armpit, left mid section below the ribs and before the waist and one in between the legs causing Luna to fall completely unconscious making it impossible for her to ‘enjoy’ the pain.
“Cross-san, it seems Lunar-chan has tripped and hurt herself, please have your puppets take care of her in the stagecoach.” Misaki said with an almost refreshed smile as she said that and openly waked into the tavern.
We just look at her in shock as we open a path for her as she walks in.
“I guess there is a limit to everything.” Hermes mutter and the other two nod.
“Erm… You two take her to the stagecoach and watch over her.” I order the two warrior puppets walk over to her and one of them takes her in a princess carry and takes her off.
“Well we are going to eat, are you going to go?” I asked the captain.
She pondered a moment and shrugged.
“I haven’t eaten anything in awhile so mind if I join?” She asked.
“I’m not paying, just saying.” I say and walk in.
Inside we easily find Misaki due to the table that had a maid and the samurai girl who didn’t stop asking for more.
I felt depressed by just seeing this and walked over and sat down.
“Do you want something sir?” The waitress asked.
The others arrive and we ask for something light.
After a bit, a trolley arrived and we took our simple trays before Misaki got her buffet and ate her fill cleaning all the plates without leaving anything but bones.
“Fuu… that is good.” Misaki says.
“Seriously… where do you put so much food. You don’t even have large enough boobs to store all that.” I said.
“Shut up!” She shouted and kicked me from below the table causing a sharp sting.
At this time one of the guards entered and looked around before spotting us and running over and saluting.
“Ma’am, we have been looking for you! The previous culprits were apprehended and we confirmed the story of these humans.” The guard said.
“Good, if that is all then return then report back to the barracks and send the night shift patrol out and release the day shift.” the captain said.
“That's not all ma’am… We got wind of a taboo felon!” The says and instantly the room became dead silent as everyone looked our way with almost bloodshot eyes.
“Um… what is a Taboo felon?” I asked.
The captain sour expression didn’t hide her disgust as she began to explain.
“You know by now that elves hold true to their desires and fetish right?” She asked and we all nod. “Well, while there are grey zone fetish like sadism which has a recipient for this fetish, from the start when the great hero Daniel Rock came he was keenly disgusted by Taboo fetish which are one sided fetish and remove the possibility for the partner from doing their true fetish. Obviously we can’t control the fetish of everyone but we don’t take kindly to those who perform said fetish if they know about it.” The captain explained.
“So why the serious atmosphere. It's almost like it’s a capital crime?” Charlotte asked.
“It is a capital crime, the only thing worse is attacking the royal family, attacking the great Elder treant and attempting to corrupt the hero who wasn’t raised in our culture so she is much more reserved than our worlds elves.” She explained.

Our jaws dropped at the ridiculous explanation we just received. Having a fetish that is one sided is a capital crime… how fucked up was that hero that did this.
“What kind of taboo is it?” she asked the guard.
“NTR, Ma’am!” He reported and instantly the temperature in the guild hall dropped tremendously as the bloodthirsty of all the elves flooded out causing us to pale.
She stood up slowly but the killing intent coming off of her caused even the strongest adventurer in the guild to pale.
She walked away simply saying “I have work to do.” and left.
The guard was left as well.
“Um… what happened?” I asked him.
“Erm… well the captain was once subjected to that specific fetish. Whenever she hears of it…” He tries looking for the right word and scratches the his exposed neck. “...well let’s just say that the family of the felon are never able to find all the pieces of the body that is left behind.”
We were all shocked by this revelation.
“We should go, maybe we can help her.” Charlotte said.
“Yeah.” I nodded. I get up and call the waitress and with a bleeding heart, hand over 97 silver coins to pay for the japanese pig.
Then we run out and I call my puppets as we run after the captain. Who was half way down the road.
Soon we encountered the guard troop that lead her to the western side of town were the nobles section of town was.
Seems snotty nobles can’t be helped. When we reached a mansion built from four large trees magically linked we were met with some guards blocking us.
“Who goes there!” One of them shouted.
“Move it or die!” The captain said and drew her sword.
The men looked at each other and laughed. They wore mithril armor with several expert archers over 200 meters away and held several hundred years of combat experience.
“Fuck off bitch! Your little guard troop has nothing to do here!” The man on the left said.
“Yeah, that said… if you want to enter you can strip naked and bend over like a dog to be fucked like the bitch you are!” The man on the right said and laughed.
The entire guard corp shuddered and everyone took several dozen steps back pushing each other back.
We watched from far and saw this expecting to see a spectacle but what happened next showed us how strong those of this world was.
Like a blur the captain was already at the door of the mansion and as the men move to turn to follow her as the gale she made drew their gaze but mid way in the turn their body gushed blood from all the connections between the armor joints. A moment later the men began to fall apart as did the archers and mage watching everything happen.
She didn’t even care as she took a step forward and kicked the door in. The guard troops move in after her and we did as well but the next moment she came flying out and landed half way out.
“You little whore! To train so many quality soldiers takes money. You know how much of my money you wasted!” a feminized male voice called from inside. Walking out a blonde male dressed like a woman holding a fan in front of his face and having a dress on walked out. Next several dozen wooden puppets scampered out.
They were all shitty ones but the armor was nice. If I could get all that I would be able to make some good warrior puppets. The bows some of them have are also nice.
The captain just looked at the man in contempt and took out a scroll.
“You’re under arrest for being a NTR fetish and exercising your fetish. While being under surveillance you have committed capital crime. Come quietly and I might give you a quick death.” She said.
“Really? That is too bad.” The man said and tapped his foot on the ground and the archer puppets fired before another gale happened and the puppets fell to pieces.
“It seems you have forced my hand. I am truly sad that it has come to this.” He says and removes a small sheet of parchment and tosses it on the ground.
It suddenly began to glow and suddenly a magic circle formation formed and grew to over 2 meters.
My jaw dropped since I know exactly how much mana it takes to make something so large. Not only that but inside the circle are more than a dozen smaller magic formations making an entire magic circle circuit with at least 200 different runes.
It was only when the circle completely formed that I noticed what it was. How could I not know what it was, that circle appears every time I summon a minion.
Slowly rising from the circle a girl with very light pink hair, smooth skin the color of a peach and a dress similar to a white gothic lolita she stood there motionless like a statue but her body slowly released mana as it gushed out.
“A Living doll! How did he get something like that!” One guard said.
The captain’s expressions didn’t change as her body began to slowly radiate mana and her bronze colored hair began to shimmer and spreading out. As the rays of the sun hit her hair it turned the bronze hair a bright blonde and her skin turned white as polished jade.
Her sword began to gather the light from the sun as runes appeared on her sword and her lips moved ever so slightly.
“Miss… do you expect for low leveled arts like your own to surpass a living doll.” The elf trap said.
The next moment she blinked out of existence and appeared behind the man.
“I don’t need to beat her or even think of fighting it. All I need is to cut off your head and she will simply collapse.” the captain said.
The next moment blades of light exit his body before he splattered everywhere.
She slowly sheathed her sword as her hair and skin color returned.
The doll also collapsed and the magic circle vanished back into a parchment before it the paper burst into flames leaving the doll.
The captain walked to the doll and looked at it.
“Go inside and find the captives. It can’t be one or two find them all. Kill anyone that resists, arrest everyone inside.” she shouted.
As the guards advanced we moved forward and met with her.
“Wow, you’re harsh to those with a strange fetish.” I said.
“To you it may be strange but to us it is a great taboo.” She replied.
“I don’t see how it’s bad, I personally find NTR a nauseating thing. My own fetish is in different areas but don’t ask. Humans aren’t elves.” I said.
“No problem.” She said.
“Miss… what is this doll?” Hermes asked.
“This is a porcelain doll used as the base for what is known as a living puppet. They are extremely weak bodied puppets but they are capable of channeling tremendous magical abilities.” The captain said.
“I really should visit a puppet maker to get something like this. The magic power it has seems to surpass by far my wooden puppet mage. Maybe I can also get some magic and elf wood sprouts so I can grow better material.” I mutter.
“Don’t bother, porcelain dolls are extremely hard to make and 1 doll can cost at minimum of 500 gold coins because their power is so high, the most expensive I have heard of was 10,000 gold coins and it was the masterpiece of Daniel Rock and one of the few living dolls with its own sentience and used a high grade soul gem.” the captain said.
“Ah now that you mention it, how do elves gather so many soul gems, if I’m not wrong they are found in demons right?” Hermes asked.
The captain smiled as she heard the question.
“Well this is from extensive research back during the hero era. He knew we wouldn’t be able to actively produce soul gems like he could so with his puppet maker disciples of that era they slowly went on to discover the greatest advance of our Elven nation.” She said and bent over and began to remove the dolls clothes near the chest.
The girls blushed because to our surprise, besides the lines showing where the body parts split, the doll was made extremely skillfully and the breasts even moved around naturally, from the looks the skin was also rather soft to the touch.
She held her hand to the chest forming a magic circle there that reminded me of the demon seals and my own binding seals.
After a moment a small gem came out and formed above it before the circle broke and she stood up again.
“Please look, this is over 80 years of research and studies of that time. This is known as a spirit gem. Before you ask, it is not a soul gem nor does it come from living spirits. The spirits in here are small nature spirits found in nature invisible to the naked eye. They are passive in nature and to make this you must slowly gather them over a special formation and gather them into a crystal gem. When one crystal is formed, it can be broken down into 10 gems of this size. Due to the lack of more runes we can only produce low grade spirit gems and there is no hope to ever produce sentient puppets without gathering the soul gems from the demons that attack.” the captain said.
We look at the little gem in wonder and the small radiance it released caused us to feel a bit warm inside.
As we watched I felt my book react and when I lifted it up it let out a similar radiance as the gem. The captain looked at the book in wonder but a moment later the little gem flew away from her hand and slowly entered my book.
What happened next shocked all of us. Ripples like waves surfaced on the cover as the plain white cover with golden trim adornments on the corners began to squirm and slowly designs like flowers, fairies and other nature spirits began to form decorating and forming a second layer after the book's trim.
The Book of the Dungeon Maker has come into contact with the research project of another Dungeon maker, a spirit gem. This gem is of much lesser quality and produced by gathering the spirits of nature to produce a single fist sized crystals to be refined into gems to be used as puppets.
Due to having absorbed a spirit gem, the Book of the Dungeon Maker has been upgraded and will disperse the gathered spirits within its dungeons realms allowing for new spirits to be born. They are not considered minions because they are unable to fight in their current conditions as loose spirits.
With time your book will slowly produce spirit gems alongside Exp gems
As the book finished changing it landed calmed down as the energy stopped and the prompt appeared.
I read it to the others so they knew what was happening.
“Well that was lucky of you, still you will need to meet and play with these spirits, you also need to create dungeon rooms and other things to adhere to all their needs to make them like you more and more. As for the minion part, I heard that spirit beings appear as more and more spirits of the same type gather so that is just some food for thought.” She said and dressed the doll again before taking out a scroll and chanting something before the doll was absorbed into the magic circle.
“Like I said I can’t really let you have the doll, but if you want really old ones, come by the barracks some other time I will sell you some of the older ones we have stored there. No one likes old dolls and very few people actually know how to maintenance them.” the captain said.
“I’ll think about it, thank you for the information and sorry to get in the way of your work.” I said as I looked at the house.
I felt a bit of nausea as I saw more than 20 elven girls, extremely beautiful ones, come out with some rather dead look, their bodies tattooed and written on, pregnant and pierced like how see in porn where the men turn them into sluts no better them pigs.
“Urg… just looking at that makes me nauseous.” I said.
“I’m glad to see that we can agree on things. I will be taking my leave, I need to make sure everything's running smoothly and I need to look through this trash’s documents to see if there are leads to see if slavers were the ones have tempted him to do this. ‘Trained’ elves are quite a commodity outside the four main nations keeping back the demon lord. If it really is one of them then it's another headache for our nation.” She said and waved us off as she walked inside the mansion.
“Let's go back, I bet Luna is already awake.” I say and everyone nodded before we walk back to the inn and find the white haired baby faced elf maid.
