Emfield region, West of Windgate city.

This region is home to a very special creature.

According to the Association, there’s a strange dungeon here.

That creature is the dungeon itself.

Dungeons are smart, yet passive, monsters.

They rely on other monsters to hunt for food.

Each of them has a specific pattern of behaviors.

However, newly born ones are often unpredictable.

A creature as smart as a dungeon being unpredictable isn’t a funny joke. It’s nothing that can be left to a few Tier Six Adventurers to explore.

With that, these dangerous explorations become the High Tier’s problem.

Once an Adventurer reaches a certain level, she may not take on requests of more than two tiers below her. Apparently, that’s called sabotaging the livelihood of the low-rank.

Thanks to that rule, we’re now dealing with a Tier Two request.

High tier quests are scarce, so we can’t really pick and choose.

But this is convenient for our purpose of learning, so it works.

The entrance of the dungeon is a huge crystaline boulder.

It emits a vague aura, exactly like back in the game.

Players would gather before this thing and click on it to access the matchmaking system. From there, parties were formed, and the difficulty was scaled appropriately.

However, in this world, it’s a bit different.

You must find a party yourself, and you all need to touch the crystaline boulder together to be brought inside to the same spot.

Taking turns will send each individual to a different place.

I take this chance to hold Emily hand while we touch it.

She seems really happy, but her wild imagination is leaking through our telepathic connection. Some of it is pretty cute, but the rest is a little bit much.

I need to tend to her desires soon, or she’ll become more dangerous than Kyoka. That maid of mine may be too horny for her own good, but at least she’s always straightforward with her methods.

Emily’s the “closet” type, so it’ll become drastic if I forget about her.

Inside the dungeon, monsters are already greeting us.

“Chief, those cave wolves look strange.”

We’re the only ones here, so there’s no need to role-play.

“Yeah, they’re the Tier Five variant of cave wolves.”

“This shouldn’t be a problem even for my attack power.”

“You’re not weak, some of your skills hit harder than Kyoka’s.”

“In any case, here I go~~”

She seems excited.

I guess this is the first time we’re clearing a dungeon together like this.

Before, it was just me clicking some commands and leaving everything else to the game’s AI to move my NPC’s. Sometimes RNG would suck and I’d cry, but...

Now that it’s all reality, a lot of things will be easier.

A pair of war gauntlets materializes around Emily’s cute hands.

That’s probably the “Draw Weapon” function.

When I attempt to use it, my arcane gauntlets appear on my hands.

These are less thick, but they conduct mana a million times better.

I may look like an Assassin type, but I’m actually a mage.

By the way, this is my Status:

[Name] : Shojin
[Level] : 100
[Title] : None Equipped
Lv.50 Sorcerer
Lv.10 Warmage
Lv.5 Shadowmage
Lv.5 Arcanist
...

In order to become an effective punching mage, I went all out on offensive classes, and then compensated for my lack of defensive power with gear.

My only weakness is that I’m not very mobile.

However, jumping around isn’t my job.

That’s Kyoka’s role. She’s the fast one.

“Kyoka, go map the dungeon.”

“As you wish, Danna.”

Kyoka’s voice quietly comes from under my feet.

She’s been hiding in my shadow this whole time.

As soon as she’s answered my order, her presence vanishes.

With Kyoka’s skills, the dungeon will be mapped in no time.

Meanwhile, I’ll just have some fun with Emily.

She looks like an elegant princess, but she’s actually a tank.

Fifty of her levels come from the Monk class.

Beyond that, she has various other vanguard-type classes as well.

However, she does have skills that scale with her defense.

That’s why, when Emily’s at her tankiest, she can one-shot real players.

With Emily as the vanguard, me at mid-range, and Kyoka in the shadows protecting my position for me, our party can level even endgame raids with just the three of us.

“Come.”

A vague aura spreads across the passage filled with monsters.

The moment it touches them, they becomes hostile toward Emily.

She’s activated a taunting skill without any special trigger.

So, that means it can be activated by will alone?

That’s great, since I’m reluctant to yell out skill names.

As they draw closer, Emily winds up a big punch.

She throws her fist at the closest cave wolf.

Before the monster even realizes, its head’s already gone.

The rest of the body flies back and crushes several more cave wolves on its way. The shockwave stuns the surrounding wolves and creates an opening for me.

A second before the stun ends, my spell’s already complete.

The wolves are finally able to move again, but a sea of flame suddenly rises from under their feet. They try to run, but the extreme temperature is already melting their paws.

The wolves fall to the ground one after another and all become ashes.

The spell’s duration ends just a second after that, and the flames vanish.

This was a high level AoE ability in the game that would affect a large open area, but since I can now adjust the magic formula as I please in this world, I can tone it down like that.

“Wow, Chief! You can even do things like this now?”

Emily runs back to me with sparkling eyes.

“Y-Yeah. I’ve learned some finer control over my spells.”

Does that mean she was somewhat aware back in the game, too?

“As expected of you, Chief!”

“Haha, aren’t you putting me up too high?”

“No. Not at all.”

Guh, I can’t refuse when she gives me those faithful eyes.

“I think your decision making skills are more impressive.”

Of course, that’s because I designed her to be a perfect OL.

“I still love you. I have, since the day you saved me from that rotten family.”

A straightforward confession like that is my total destruction.

Partly because I was the one who drew up that scenario where Emily’s family of nobility was treating her like a human shield, simply because she had talents for tanking.

It’s become reality, a part of her life experience now.

And yes, I did cook up some messed up shit in Kyoka’s bio, too.

I guess I simply need to work even harder to deserve these girls.

To answer Emily’s feelings, words aren’t worthy.

I wrap my arm tightly around her waist and kiss her lips.

She happily accepts it and lets me take the lead.

No matter how lewdly I intrude into her mouth, she enjoys it all.

The kiss doesn’t end even after a while.

The urge to keep tasting those soft lips of hers isn’t fading.

However, I want to finish this job quickly.

So, although reluctant, I have to slow down and bring it to an end.

The last smack Emily puts on my lips is unbearable.

If I was under Kyoka’s charm, I would’ve pushed her down.

When we separate, a string of saliva stretches between our lips.

“Oops...”

Emily blushes when she sees the string finally gets cut.

“You’re cute as always.”

I wipe the tiny last bit of saliva left on her mouth with my thumb.

“You’re just making fun of how childish I am, aren’t you?”

She seems happy, but she’s pouting.

“No. There are few who could be as pretty as you.”

“Hmph. You can’t fool your secretary.”

“Then I’ll just have to ‘force’ some faith ‘into’ you later.”

Emily averts her eyes with red cheeks, probably imagining something.

“Even though I’m not as ‘ripe’ a fruit as Kyoka?”

“Kyoka has her charms. You have yours. There isn’t a comparison.”

“Hehe, fine. You can convince me some more on our date.”

“Yeah, we’ll ‘have fun’ later at home. Now, let’s go kill something.”

“Yes, Chief~♡”

As we move through the dungeon, Emily’s in a flirtatious mood.

So, I take the liberty to grope up her sexy butt as much as I want.

It’s nice and firm even through her leather pants.

I’ll have to enjoy this lots and lots once we get home.
