03. Another Dungeon.

“How dare you… hang up on me?”

 

 

The furious beauty grabbed her jacket with a chilling expression.

 

 

“Y-You… I mean, Attorney-nim, where are you going??”

“I’m just going to see my daughter for a bit.”

“Y-Yes? But you’re on duty?”

 

She glared at her husband as if he were pathetic.

 

“Is work more important than your daughter?”

“N-No, that’s not what I meant….”

“I’ll go alone, so take care of the work. If there are any calls, keep them on hold. Oh, and that Mae… what was it? Anyway, go ahead and accept that job for now. Just in case.”

“Ah… yes… have a good trip.”

 

Like a storm, she finished speaking and headed straight for the parking lot.

As she pressed the key button in her hand, a *beep beep* sound came from afar, and a foreign car with the engine already running approached her on its own.

 

 

*Jiiiing.*

 

Self-driving and automatic door opening. It was the latest model, purchased just three months ago.

 

 

She glanced at the car’s interior, which boasted a luxurious design as much as its exterior, and settled her small frame into the seat.

 

 

*Beep beep beep.*

 

 

She launched the app she had secretly installed on her daughter’s phone and placed her hands on the steering wheel.

Then, the distance between the steering wheel and the seat adjusted automatically, and the hidden pedals came out with a *deureureuk*.

 

“Take me to where my daughter is.”

[I will guide you to the last location received by Lee Yuna-nim.]

 

 

A navigation system turned on on her smartphone screen, and a thick arrow appeared, pointing from her current location.

*Peogeok – !*

 

 

“Critical shot~!”

 

 

The skull of the fearsome Skeleton was effortlessly shattered by the swung blade, and the standing bones all scattered on the floor.

 

 

“Kyaa! Get away!!”

 

 

*Pagak!*

 

 

From behind me, Eun-ju, terrified, kicked the Skeleton’s pelvis (she’s level 1), and the Skeleton’s pelvis flew several meters away, landing on the floor. Naturally, the remaining bones collapsed, and Eun-ju was stomping on those bones *kwak kwak*.

 

 

 

 

“》”

 

 

Yuna-ssi, wielding a ‘sword’, was smashing Skeletons with her swordsmanship,

 

 

“Hap~! Strike~~!”

 

 

Sora-nuna, our team’s ‘Healer’, was swinging her staff like a baseball bat, smashing skulls.

 

 

 

 

Hmm…

This dungeon is too easy for us after all.

 

 

The first group of Skeletons we encountered upon entering the dungeon numbered six, but we were able to defeat them easily without using my paralysis skill, 》. Even Eun-ju, whom I was slightly worried about, was able to kick them apart, so….

 

 

 

“Wow! I leveled up!”

“There are no items. Let’s loot.”

 

 

Sora-nuna and Yuna-ssi began to pick up the scattered bones.

Come to think of it, since they’re bones, it’s easy, right? Just pick them up. It’s just that they look a bit gruesome.

 

 

“Ah. Just bring the shinbones. The rest aren’t worth much.”

“Eh- is that so?”

“Yes. You can get about $6 per kilogram of shinbones. Usually, one side weighs about 1.5~2kg. You can make powder from the rest of the bones, but shinbones are the best.”

 

 

I see.

So, we just need to take the thickest and largest ones?

 

 

 

 

We collected the shinbones and put them all into a robot bag called ‘Inventory’.

 

 

“But at this rate, we could make a fortune just living here, right? If it’s $6 per kilogram… that’s $4,800 when it’s all filled up. Even if we split it among four people, that’s $1,200 per person.”

 

 

And I’ll take what Eun-ju gets, *keu keu*.

 

“That’s right. Usually, Skeletons are scary-looking and have strong attack power, so they’re quite difficult monsters… but it’s too easy.”

“At this rate, can’t we go to Manhattan?”

“Well… but there….”

 

 

Yuna-ssi hesitated for a moment.

 

“Monsters are monsters, but people are the scariest in that neighborhood.”

“Hey. What do we have to be afraid of? Our attack and defense power is unmatched.”

“…Still, the top-ranked adventurers can have close to 20,000. If they gang up on us… we don’t know what might happen.”

“Hmm… then….”

 

 

I hugged Yuna-ssi and Sora-nuna’s waists.

 

 

“Kyaa! What are you…!”

“Oh my.”

“We can go in three months.”

“What…?”

 

In three months, the 《《emperor game=””》》 cooldown will be over.

 

Yuna-ssi’s face turned red, as if she belatedly understood. Hehe. Cute. Should I ask to do it today?

 

 

“By then, our attack and defense power will be over 100,000, right? Honestly, no matter how much they gang up on us and critical hits land… with that much of a difference, wouldn’t the damage be 0 and that’s it?”

“W-Well, that’s true, but….”

“So don’t worry. Besides, stats….”

 

 

I whispered in her ear.

 

 

“You can raise them even if you have sex with me.”

 

 

*Hwaak!*

 

 

Her neck turned bright red all the way to her ears.

 

 

“S-Shut up!”

Yuna-ssi cutely struggled and got out of my arms. Hehe. She’s been cute lately.

Her cold expression is good too, but I like this kind of reaction as well. Maybe it’s because of her favorability.

 

 

“Heung~ it goes up even if we have sex?”

 

Sora-nuna leaned in slightly.

 

 

“Yes. The sexiness stat… increases with a certain probability every time I have relations with you. Hehe.”

 

 

I caressed Sora-nuna’s butt.

Ah. It feels so good no matter when I touch it.

 

 

“Will we do it today?”

“…Should I go?”

 

While Sora-nuna was exuding sexiness, Yuna-ssi came over and separated us, leaving the words to follow her quickly and walking away in large strides.

Could it be….

 

“Jealousy?”

“Eh, no way.”

Sora-nuna doesn’t believe it.

If her favorability is over 70, wouldn’t it be plausible?

“Well… let’s go. It’s just a taste, but we need to stock up well today, right?”

“Yes.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And so, the great hunt began.

 

 

*Pagak!*

*Peogeok!*

*Peok!*

*Ppeoeong!*

*Ppujik!*

*Kwang!*

*Kwagwang!*

*Ppeoeok!*

 

.

“Huu…”

 

Sora-nuna wiped the sweat flowing down her forehead and smiled refreshingly.

 

 

“It feels like I’ve exercised~”

“…Here, have this.”

“Ah, thank… you.”

 

When Eun-ju handed her a drink, she spoke formally, still feeling awkward.

 

 

“It’s already full.”

 

 

We hunted for about 6 hours.

Perhaps because it was a hunting ground that wasn’t very popular, Skeletons were scattered everywhere we went, and we were able to gather byproducts here in a short amount of time.

 

 

“That place earlier was amazing. I was surprised that 50 of them were gathered there.”

“If you go to a C-grade dungeon, there are places where hundreds of slimes are gathered. Even the top guilds can’t touch those places. There are one or two of these places in every dungeon.”

 

 

Hoo? Then?

 

 

“Hey! We can hunt there! We don’t have to wander around, we can just rest and catch them when they respawn.”

“Hmm… that’s true, but….”

 

 

If that were possible, there would be no need to wander around like this. And… there’s no need to carry only one inventory. It piles up a lot, right? These bones.

 

 

“And how much does it sell for to grind those bones and make mana powder? Can we process it inside the dungeon?”

“There’s a portable grinder that came out. But it only works if you manually put mana into it, and you have to keep holding it, and it’s tiring, and it’s inconvenient in many ways. And the price is expensive.”

“Hoo… so how much is mana powder?”

“…If you grind 1kg of shinbones, it’s divided into regular bone powder and mana powder, and about 1g of mana powder comes out. That’s $10.”

“Wow… so… if we can grind shinbones while continuously injecting mana, we can get more anyway, right? We can just throw away the regular bone powder.”

 

I stared at Eun-ju.

She turned her head away for a moment as if she was afraid, but soon volunteered (?) to do it herself.

 

 

“….”

 

 

It’s called volunteering, but it’s actually my threat, so a bad look is planted on the back of my head.

But it doesn’t matter, right? She has sins too.

 

 

“How long does it take?”

“It takes quite a while to do it in large quantities. It’s manual after all….”

“How much is the price….”

“$10,000.”

“Whoa….”

“But it’s semi-permanent, so you can make up for it if you do it right.”

“Then shall we buy that and process it?”

“Huu… you….”

 

 

Yuna-ssi tried to say something but shook her head from side to side.

 

 

“Well, okay. Let’s get out of here for today. The inventory is full.”

 

 

What was she trying to say?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Hey. Did you level up a lot?”

 

 

On the way out, Sora-nuna asked me friendly.

Come to think of it, if we’ve been rampaging this much in a D-grade dungeon, I must have leveled up quite a bit, right?

Ooh, level 28! But my attack power hasn’t increased as much as I thought. No, it has increased a lot, but is the 《《emperor game=””》》 impact too strong?

 

 

“I’m level 28.”

“Oh. I’m level 34~.”

“Wow. At this rate, we’ll become famous in no time, right?”

“I know. Aren’t we going to be on TV later? You know, there are those celebrities who started as high-ranking adventurers and then went down that path.”

“Ah. Isn’t ‘Lala’ also from an adventurer background?”

“Yeah.”

“She’s really pretty.”

 

It’s true that the actress is said to be really pretty. They say that when you see her in person, the feeling is that other beings besides her are simply deleted. I want to see her once. And if I can….

 

 

*Tuk.*

 

 

“You’re thinking something perverted, aren’t you?”

“Eek…”

“It’s written all over your face. You pervert.”

 

 

Nuna grabbed my nose and shook it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By the time we arrived at the dungeon entrance, we were faced with an incredible situation.

 

 

 

 

“Lee Yuna.”

 

I can swear. She’s the prettiest and most fatal woman I’ve ever seen in person.

That kind of woman is glaring at us with a terrifyingly cold expression… I got hard… I got hard just from her gaze….

 

 

“…M-Mom…!”

 

Yuna-ssi is flustered.

 

The woman, presumed to be Yuna-ssi’s mother, took off her sunglasses stylishly and said.

 

 

“How dare you hang up on me? You have no manners.”
