Dungeon Overlord: Monster Girl Harem!

"Zafira, can you handle the task?"

Leonhardt trusted her from the past work, but he understood that despite being a level 100. She wanted to converse, to discuss and earn his trust and respect.

'I cannot understand the daughter of a demon emperor.'

He wouldn't try to claim that either, but whenever he asked Zafira her opinion about the dungeon or forces, her face lit up like a firework.

Leon discovered that being a Dungeon Master was more interesting than he first thought, planning to use it sparingly. Now he wanted to improve the surrounding mountains, forest, and village using his power.

'Should I destroy the humans, or find a way to convert them to my side?'

"Leonhardt, I can handle this task for sure. You can count on me." The Demon Princess responded with a cheerful tone of voice.

Her light-red lips opened slightly with every word, but more surprising than her mannerisms was how she grabbed his hand and showed such a radiant smile.

'Cute.'

"Ensure you only kill bandits or adventurers and avoid killing villagers," Leonhardt mentioned while looking into the distance.

Even as he spoke with Zafira, Leonhardt couldn't stop thinking about what his next actions should be. He wanted to know what to destroy and whom to keep alive. Although humans could be fascinating, Leon already understood their greed and the power of human desire.

'Lust, Envy, Greed, and Pride... these traits always cause problems.'

The humans that dared attack him had mostly been greedy mercenaries, or bandits turned mercenaries, and realised that with Axel dead, Leonhardt was an easy target for them to attack.

This also applied to his dungeon. The low-level adventurers who saw a weak, abandoned dungeon never thought their greed and stupid pride would cause their deaths.

"I will do my best, Dungeon Master." Zafira's beautiful eyes shone, and her fluttering wings caused the wolves to roll around, playing among themselves.

[You're going to fall victim to her charm!]

'As if, she will fall for mine!, haha.'

Leon joked with Ifrit about Zafira. He doubted a powerful succubus would notice a lesser chimaera such as himself.

But Ifrit didn't respond.

"I think I will improve the dungeon a little, do you have any suggestions, Zafira?"

Although it was nice to see her acting differently, Leon couldn't become lazy and forget his purpose.

'Not after I decided to improve the dungeon, well, what can I even buy with all these points?'

Zafira's wings fluttered, stirring the air as she tilted her head in thought. "Hmm, suggestions for the dungeon?" A seductive smile danced on her lips, but the glint in her golden eyes showed she was already considering serious options.

"The outer defences are lacking," she finally said. "If a large force attacked, the dungeon itself would hold, but the surrounding areas are too exposed. If we reinforce the mountain paths with traps and create better scouting points, we can control who reaches the dungeon in the first place."

Leonhardt rubbed his chin, his dark claws glinting against his obsidian-like skin. He had expected a suggestion about monsters or magical fortifications, but Zafira was more practical than he gave her credit for.

"That's true... if I can control the battle before the invaders even realise, I'll have a much greater advantage." His finger tipped the panel, his mind already running through possibilities.

Zafira pushed more weight onto Leonhardt, causing him to grunt. "If you plan for those humans to become your pets, rather than destroying them all. We need some kind of leverage. Although Fear is good, without loyalty and trust, all that awaits is betrayal. Leon."

"What do you propose?"

"We need to make preparations, security, resources, purpose, and power."

Leonhardt narrowed his eyes, struggling with Zafira's soft, charming body and her sharp pupils glowing with a smirk on her lips. "Purpose?"

"Fufu ♡, a reason for those idiots to follow you, Dungeon Master. A reason that isn't terror, something that will stop them from stabbing you in the back the moment a chance appears."

He couldn't help but understand why the information on Succubi marks them as both troublesome and desired partners, though he enjoyed the warmth of her body. "I thought demons like you only believed in power."

She looked stunned, her eyes widening as if his words surprised her. Zafira stretched her wings before folding them neatly behind her. "Hmph ♡, cheeky boy! Demons aren't the same, Leonhardt. Power might be important, but loyalty and charm are equally powerful."

"Who is cheeky? Tsk, how is Embervale Keep?"

"Well~ the goblins have tried hard to build a foundation, its walls protect the dungeon entrance and help split the central, western and eastern forests to make it easier to patrol and maintain the monster population."

Zafira seemed to get too focused as her tall body pushed against Leon, her soft, alluring figure leaning on his shoulder, while the scent of honey filled his nose.

'She's too dangerous...'

Leon's awakening desires made the succubus a dangerous enemy—thus he focused his mind and thoughts on improving the dungeon to block out her soft bosom pressing against his shoulder.

He could feel her gaze while he looked at the item store.

Something changed with his last evolution, but Leon knew it wasn't his merit. Thus, he still didn't know how to deal with her slight changes.

'I don't mind seeing her smile more often, though.'

'How much would it cost to upgrade all the walls to stone, and improve the traps, Ifrit?'

Silence...

He shook his head and realised how much he relied on her in the past few days, not trying to grow himself.

'I cannot be a novice forever.'

Leonhardt tapped the upgrade button and checked all the tiles, and materials. Some upgrades only needed dungeon points, while others needed materials. He tapped the Embervale Keep and found that there was enough stone to upgrade the outer walls, but not the Keep itself.

◊ Upgrade Wooden Wall x 20 [100DP]

◊ Upgrade Basic Traps x 30 [50DP]

Leonhardt tapped yes before he watched the DP drop by 3500, but somehow he believed this was a good purchase.

'7,000 left.'

"I have enough to make a few further adjustments, but..." Leonhardt muttered to himself. "To strengthen the outside, or improve the inner defences, I am a little hesitant."

Zafira's eyes narrowed into thin slits, her long pink tongue sliding over her red lips as she hummed in agreement, her hand reaching out and tapping the screen to reveal a certain building. "If you plan to convert the village, then you don't need pure strength right now, I think we should create a unit that is nimble and can collect information."

◊ Dungeon Aide Suggested buying a Dark Elf Sanctuary [5000DP]

"A race born from the twisted experimentation of the Fae and dark magics..." Leonhardt's chest throbbed reading their information because he felt a sense of kinship.

'Zafira, did you choose this for my benefit?'

He couldn't understand her actions or reason for helping him so much, but the fact Zafira's weight no longer bothered him. She draped her arm around his neck, her lips almost touching his neck, while Zafira watched him with a playful expression, making Leon's chest ache.
