Oof... we finally finished this...

<< Yeah... It was quite a lot, right? You spent only a... HOLD UP! WHY DID THE EP GO UP INSTEAD? >>

Ah... I was doing stuff...

<< You... It's my turn now! COME HERE! >>

Really?! I'm tired... let me at least rest for a bit...

<< Humpf... It's ok if you think a girl like me is nothing compared to- >>

Shut up! You are gorgeous. I'm just very tired after everything and there's mercenaries coming soon... I want to rest so we can kill them. If we lose and I die you're in trouble, right?

<< Haaa... I guess you're right... But just this time ok? Next time it's MY TURN! >>

Okay, Okay, I got it. I'll give it to you! Wait, Gloria, I just remembered some things...

<< Yeah? >>

Firstly, why can I see in the dark if I don't have the skills? Like... I can see anywhere in the dungeon as clear as day...

<< Ah, that's because you are the Dungeon Core. Dungeon Cores have Omniscience over the dungeon territory, which means, you can see regardless of status, smoke, etc. That's a perk of the Map System. >>

Ohh... Interesting...

Now, the second question... Vergie's the goddess of chastity and virginity, correct?

<< Yeah... >>

So, does that me she can see us when we do our first time?

<< Wah~... Wait... That's a good question... If we were on Earth, I could guarantee you she can... But here I can't say that... But I can't say that it won't happen either since you came from there... Heeeeh... You come up with tough questions... But why dos that even matter? >>

I mean... Your sister seeing you have your first time would be... embarrassing right?

<< WHY DID YOU EVEN HAVE TO BRING THAT UP!!!!! >>

-------------------------------------------------

"Come on... Going all this way back is annoying you know? We've been walking for hours... And will probably have to go right back to that weird cave..."

"Yeah, Yeah... We all know that Joe, now could you please so kind to SHUT THE FUCK UP?

"Hey, Hey, Gabe did you hear that! Kyle's finally dropped his balls!"

"Oh... dear... How much longer will I have to deal with these two..." But just as Gabe started muttering this to himself:

"Gabe... They're here."

"Huh? What do you mean, Kyle? Who?"

"The guys... Most of them at least... They'll reach us in a minute."

"What? Why would they do that? You sure you are not wrong?"

"I can hear at least 10 people in metal armor coming here... Unless we are about to be kicked in the ass by the most well-prepared bandit group ever, I'm pretty sure it's them."

"What you guys complaining? That means we won't have to walk much longer!~"

''This guy's completely stupid...'' Both Kyle and Gabe thought at the same time... No one dared speak out loud since that'd only cause more unnecessary work...

A few seconds later, the voices and noises from the marching mercenaries could be heard clearly. The three of them stood, waiting. Until the main group reached them on their own.

"Hey you! Why are you here in the middle of the forest? Have you found nothing?" Asked one of the arriving mercenaries. He was an idiotic asshole, always full of himself. Gabe hated him more than anyone else in the company.

"I have nothing to report to you Brass. Cut the crap and bring Gahan here, I need to talk to him."

"Huh? Don't get so full of yourself just because you tracked a fleeing bitch. Do you wanna get a beating?"

Gabe hardened his resolve and reached for his sword, and so did Brass. Before the conflict escalated a powerful voice resounded.

"GABE! REPORT TO ME IMEDIATELY!"

"YES, SIR!" Saved by the bell., he thought.

He quickly strolled towards his leaded.

"Did you find her?"

"Yes sir."

"Where so?"

"In an unmapped cave handful of hours from here.

"Hours? Are you joking? Why are you not there?"

"Yes sir, the cave is on the very face of the Herclaw mountains. We came back because I realized there was something strange with the cave."

"So, you let her escape because of that??"

"No sir, I mean, she never left the cave, however I could feel a presence inside, like either an assassin waiting in ambush or a trap... And since this one isn't mapped... We decided it was better and safer to contact the main group and head inside with reinforcements. I have a feeling it could even be a dungeon..."

"Ho... I will trust your instincts on that since you have done that for a living before"

"Ahem... REJOICE YOU JOLTERHEADS! IF WE FOUND A DUNGEON, WE'LL BECOME RICH!"

"Congratulations Gabe, if you are indeed right and we also get the girl we'll finally get out from this shitty financial situation and return to our glory. I can only imagine. Being the first mercenary group ever to discover an unknown Dungeon. We'll become legends."

"That's great sir..." 'God... He didn't understand my warning at all... I hope nobody dies."

"How far are we? We need to get there as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Sir. It's was 5 hours walk from here for our group so it should take around 6 with all the men."

"huh... YOU HEARD THAT? HE THINKS YOU ARE NOT ONLY STUPID, BUT ALSO SLOW AS CRIPPLED DWARVES! MARCH AHEAD, NO PAUSES! WE'LL GET THERE IN 4 HOURS!"

'God... I think some are gonna die before we ever get there...'

The mercenary company started marching at a forced pace, trampling its way through the dense forest.
