Irina groaned, and rubbed a sore muscle. Her entire body ached but her sensitive places were the ones that ached the most. Last night had been rather eventful for her. After walking in on the demoness having her way with her newest recruits in her office, she had ended up dragged into the game. Fortunately, despite the demoness using magic to try and make her submit, she had managed to dominate her sexually. Which gave her a fair amount of say with how things went. Even if the demoness didn’t want to just let her go.

Then when she got home, she had been ambushed by another demoness. Who had let herself in and was making dinner. She tried to keep the demon from adding anything strange to her food, but she still somehow slipped in an aphrodisiac. Looking to her left that demoness was curled up, and entirely naked. Her sheets were clumped up at the base of the bed, so the girl’s body was on full display. The bed itself was stained with the evidence of last nights fun times.

Honestly, she wasn’t sure what she thought of last night, but she did remember a few of the things the demonesses had told her about the floor during the sex. The two demonesses had told her different things about the puzzles and the order needed for advancing. The first demoness had told her which puzzle needed to be solved first, and as a bonus told her the location of one of the dummies. The second had told her which puzzle needed to be solved third. As useful as this information was she didn’t have enough to actually solve the floor, but she figured it would be useful for adventurers. She also wasn’t sure she wanted to risk sleeping with more demons than she just did.

Still, she didn’t think it was worth wasting her time thinking about it. She reached for her ring and slipped it back on. Thankful that the demoness had given it back, and not kept it. Looking at the sleeping demoness in her bed, she woke the small girl up. Thankfully the girl was sexually satisfied from the events of last night, and she was able to get her cleaned up, fed and out the door without issue. She also cleaned up her bed with the demonesses help, and was able to make the walk to the guild building around the same time she always did.

Emily entered a room deep in the dungeon. A part of her was uncomfortable with the fact that Ruby and Crystal were watching her daughters, but she found herself having a hard time saying no to the demonesses. Misaki had wanted her to help her out yesterday, but thanks to a certain pair of demonesses she had been too exhausted to be of much help. In fact, the only thing she could remember about yesterday involved a lot of sex. Interspersed with the occasional nap, when they let her sleep.

A reflective surface nearby gave her an excellent view of herself, and what she was wearing. Her current outfit was something she would never have picked herself, but was rather something that Crystal and her partner in crime put together for her. It amounted to a short top that barely contained her modest breasts and was cut so they were mostly exposed anyway. The fabric was also too thin to properly hide her nipples. For a bottom, she had little more than a pair of panties that barely concealed her privates. Which her eyes were drawn too. Specifically the stain spread across her panties, and the trail of fluid leaking down her legs. A visible sign that she was technically turned on. A part of her was actually enjoying what was happening to her.

Her thoughts were broken by a female voice speaking from behind her, “I told you that you had a natural submissive streak.”

Turning around she saw Misaki standing there. She was wearing a revealing dress that revealed her swollen belly. There was enough of a bulge that anyone looking would know that she was pregnant, but it was clear that she would be carrying her children for a few more months. “Yeah, you did. Anyway, what did you need my help with?”

“I’m working on a new puzzle trap. I want it to release something special if someone answers it wrong. I figured your expertise in alchemy would be useful,” said Misaki.

Emily wasn’t sure making something for a dungeon was a good idea, but she asked the next question anyway. Even if a part of her was telling her that she should just turn her down, and go home. “I might be able to help, but that depends on what exactly you want,” responded Emily.

Misaki produced a small clear container with a plug on one end. Inside was a swirling pinkish substance which Emily took, and used Analyze on. Turned out the vial contained a concentrated dose of dungeon pheromones, there was enough in there to make anyone who breathed it in go stupid, even with the protection of a ring. The rings did have limits in how much protection they could provide. “I want you to make an aphrodisiac using those, and I will make it worth your while,” said Misaki with a rather suggestive tone.

Emily took the container gently and wondered what kind of aphrodisiac she could make with it. The substance already had some of the properties of one. She was really tempted to try it too. A desire she quickly suppressed, as she didn’t want that side of herself seen in public. Didn’t stop her from asking for a few tools and ingredients before rushing back to her new home, and shutting herself in her alchemy lab. The lure of a new project making her forget anything else.

Misaki watched Emily rush off with her stuff, and the clear excitement on her face. She had actually not expected the request to go over as easily as it had. Leaving the room, she walked out to her garden and then stared at the large crystal dome in the middle. She had done everything she and her friends could think of, but she didn’t feel it would be enough. Milith in her weakened state couldn’t actually defend herself against that Archpaladin, and even if she added a few more floors the new monsters in them wouldn’t be strong enough to stop him.

Her puzzles should buy her time though once he begins his assault. Her fifth floor was a major bottleneck that very few had gotten past, and all of those that had, had done so by socializing with the demons in her safe zones.

That aphrodisiac she wanted Emily to make was for a trap she wanted to make that was intended to buy her even more time to strengthen her defenses. Given that the level cap for her monsters rose by five for each floor she needed to increase her size fourfold to field monsters as strong as that paladin. The problem was that it would take months for her to gather the needed resources to properly build out that many floors, and an instinct of hers was telling her it would be a bad idea to rush out those floors. The mana well that powered the ritual chamber she was admiring though, did help with the resources requirement.

Suddenly her attention was drawn to the entrance of her dungeon. Five figures had entered her first room, and they had instantly destroyed the two demons guarding the room. Seeing who was leading the group she felt a surge of fear. It was too soon, and she wasn’t ready yet.
