The Villainess Is My Cute Daughter

Adrian smirked.

”Well they are magical in a way. Let’s just say the Goddess blessed me once again with a brand new gift. Though none of these directly help me in combat since they’re mostly just meant to drastically help the common people here.”

Cassius nodded in understanding.

”Do I need to get some local carpenters to build these frames and doors? And where exactly do I need to get them installed? Do we have to attach them to an existing room or build something extra for them?”

Adrian shook his head.

”No. Just put some doors somewhere on the ground floor.”

Then he paused. He realized he actually hadn’t tested the connection outside of the dungeon yet.

”Wait. No. I actually didn’t test it.”

He looked back at Cassius.

”I will obviously just give you the frames along with the doors. They will already be completely built and perfectly attached by me. All you need to do is place them somewhere.”

He stood up.

”Let me just check it out right now.”

Adrian immediately opened his spatial storage to pull out an entire wooden door frame. It dropped right onto the rug in front of a highly confused Cassius.

Adrian confidently grabbed the doorknob and pulled it wide open.

And it absolutely did not work at all.

Even though he opened the door wide all he saw on the other side was the wall of the study and Cassius standing there looking mildly concerned.

Adrian tried walking through the frame anyway and just awkwardly stepped right onto the rug on the other side.

He totally wasn’t teleported into the dungeon.

He coughed into his fist and quickly looked down at his system screen.

’System. Why isn’t this working?’

[A functional door takes a user from one room to another room. Therefore, you need to have a fully enclosed room structure that is connected to the frame to have the Dungeon Door skill activate.]

Adrian just stared at the blue screen.

’Whatever.’

He looked back at Cassius and just acted like nothing embarrassing happened.

”Well,” Adrian started. ”Get the people to build small wooden cubicles in the apartment lobbies and attach these doors directly to those enclosed rooms. That should get the job done.”

He looked around the room.

”And tell me the second you’re done. I want all of this construction finished in like two to three days. Do it as soon as physically possible. The cubicles can be made using the cheapest wooden planks available since it doesn’t matter. Just make it a temporary thing that can hold up for a few months and we can make a much more permanent stone structure later. Because I need to leave for the war thing pretty soon if things don’t go as I expect them to.”

Cassius nodded quickly while pulling out a fresh piece of paper to write down the orders.

”Understood my lord. I will make sure everything is done in a few days. The carpenters will begin at dawn.”

Adrian gave a nod.

”Okay good.”

He took a step toward the exit but suddenly stopped and turned back around.

”One more thing. Get the people to construct a small tiny room directly below the main excretion pipes in the apartment basements where everyone does their daily pooping and peeing.”

Cassius stopped writing and looked up with a highly confused expression.

Adrian completely ignored the look.

”And I want similar door frames placed completely horizontally on the roof of this small room right under the pipe. And I want the door to be permanently propped open.”

Cassius stared at him for a second before giving a slow nod.

”Right my lord. I will make sure this is done too.”

Adrian nodded in total satisfaction.

”Okay. Good.”

He walked straight out of Cassius’s house and headed back to his own mansion. He went right to his bedroom and immediately opened the portal back into his dungeon.

He needed to test this shit out properly.

He went to a corner of the safe zone and got the dungeon system to instantly create a small and perfectly enclosed wooden room. He grabbed one of the hundred doors from his pile and attached it to the wooden wall with the dungeon’s help.

Then he used the new skill he got for upgrading his dungeon to SSS rank. Dungeon Door.

A holographic interface popped up and he saw that he could actually manually select exactly where each of these specific doors led to. It showed a mini-map of his entire dungeon layout.

Which was exactly what he wanted.

Because without that specific targeted routing function he wouldn’t be able to get the whole sewage system to teleport all of the shit directly into the cylindrical slime tank. He had already theorized this before but he just wanted to make sure the system actually allowed point-to-point connections.

And now the only thing he really wanted to make sure of was to check if horizontal doors actually worked or not.

Door frames inside his dungeon space worked seamlessly regardless of where they were. But outside his dungeon in the real world the system just told him he needed them to be connected to a fully enclosed room. That was exactly why he got caught completely off guard when he confidently opened the door in front of Cassius and failed miserably.

But now he just wanted to make sure there were absolutely no structural gravity issues with a horizontal drop.

So he basically used the system to make a small wooden room which was mostly just a tiny enclosed wooden box.

He attached a door to the top of it, took the whole box out of the dungeon and just placed it on the wooden floor of his real-world bedroom.

Then he stood over it and opened the door which was lying completely horizontal to the ground. He looked inside.

He didn’t see the bottom of the wooden box.

He could only see that it was pure darkness.
