Chapter 99: Since she is a skeleton, both Steam-san and Holy Light-san seem to think they don't have to do their job.

Day 38 Midday, Omui, Guild of Adventurers.

Whoooa?! Lad, can we really have this?! For real? I'm gonna cry if it's just a joke?

I'm not giving it back? Ah, I'll put spit on it.

What a dirty old man this spear dude is. The old man is licking a spear. I don't think anyone would complain if I report him? It's a pervert.

There are clear grounds for concern.

Haruka-kun, is it really fine? We just wanted to repay the favor? We didn't even do anything in the end?

Looks like the sword old man is not going to lick anything. The four girls ran off to the training ground as soon as they said their thanks for the weapons. I'm surrounded by nothing but old men, again. I've never heard about being swarmed with old men after getting summoned to a different world?

Cute girls ditched us for the training grounds? Is it about Affection Rating after all?DiiScver w storis on no//e()/lbin(.)c/o/m

No, I mean, didn't you spend three days looking for us in the dungeon? You went all the way to the 30th floor while we went back through the portal on the 46th floor, leaving you behind? It's a consolation payment of sorts? Kind of?

As soon as the old men heard the news they made preparations and went to the rescue.

Planning to group up with the president and others they descended to the 30th floor, where they received the news of our safe return to the town, upon which they also turned back, and finally reached the town just a short while ago.

I felt a bit sorry for them, so I decided to give away some of the remaining weapons, but they made a bit of an uproar out of it.

If I include the stuff like harpoons from the frogs, then I still have close to 500 weapons left. Even after disposing of the useless inventory I still have plenty left.

I'm holding onto weapons from minotaurs, so they ended up with the weapons from the puppets or lizards, but everyone is overjoyed anyway. Despite the dangers of this town, they don't have proper equipment here. Aside from clubs. The town is overflowing with them.

It is overflowing, but is it really okay? I just saw housewives chatting in front of the greengrocer, all equipped with clubs? I overheard them saying that they will club their husbands if they dare to cheat? Isn't this town more dangerous than the forest?

It seems some monsters still remained in the dungeon even after its death, with a few still possible to be found on 46F and up. Will I be able to handle monsters from 31F and further? Not now for sure, but after I finish adjusting to my new skills it might be a good idea to check it out.

But for the time being, I will stick to practicing and then start from gobs. I mean, I'm pretty sure I will be tripping over myself and clashing into monsters again.

The local lord, Meri's father, also seems to have sent troops, so I'll donate a set of harpoons from the frogs to him. I'll just pass them with a message through the old man leading the guild. I already have the receptionist ladies bribed with fruitcakes for that. With this, I don't owe them anything.

Falling into pitfalls is a pain, but getting out is also a pain. I don't want to do that again.

I'm going home now, wanna come? It's inside a forest though? Or more like, a cave? Well, in a forest?

I asked Armored Pres-san, to which she responded by nodding, looks like she is coming as well. Gob sweeping should go really well. I still should be able to sell a lot of mushrooms, so there is no harm in gathering extra. I'm sure there are even more of them now.

The classmates are still lying around with X-marks for the eyes, so let's leave them be. Must be the result of getting beaten up. But normally, getting trained and beaten by a Dungeon Emperor is an extremely rare and valuable experience. I'm getting beaten all the time though?

Without hesitation? Is it even possible for the tamed person to attack their master? And beat them?

I came back to the woods, but there are only a few gobs and kobolds? Their levels are also somewhat down? But mushrooms are plenty. Their quantity is massive.

The general store lady's addiction is about to get even worse. Somehow, the forest seems brighter? It probably won't be much of a training, but let's hunt them. Wait, everything is already hunted down.

At least leave some monsters for me to practice? I want to spar with gobs? As one might expect, I don't want to get beaten up every day? Flying through the woods like the wind she erases gobs Looks like all my spar partners were exterminated.

Speaking of which, turning into a higher rankHP Recoverydidn't become Super HP Recoveryor anything, and straight went for Regeneration? Did it just give up on recovery? Isn't regeneration normally a monster skill? Can humans even regenerate?

Should they? Am I going to be alright?

Hm?

With my Detect Presence I sense that outside, Armored Pres-san began taking off her armor. She couldn't wait for the bath anymore? Or maybe she began preparing in advance since removing the armor takes a while?

She is a skeleton, during the first appearance I saw her all nude, complete bare bones, but since I now know that she is a girl, entering the bath together might be an issue? Well, those are just bones? I actually wouldn't mind helping her wash them?

I'm getting out! Do you care to wait for some little bit? Kind of? Just a short whOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH!

Eh? Nonono, according to the Detect Presence it is Armored Pres-san that just entered the bath. Is it that I will scrub your backkind of thing? Is she trying to do something servant-like since she is tamed by me?

Or something like that? Thinking hard I'm not thinking at all, the supreme thinking-type of thinking Apex Thinking has completely stopped. Just what is thithithithithis WHO?!

Long, slender legs. A pair of well-toned, long, beautiful legs entered the room? The front is covered with the towel that she is holding, but she is completely defenseless from behind! Whooa, her hips are so high!

Her legs are way too long! It's like her super-high hips immediately continue into the slim waist. The Anglo-Saxon, or maybe Latin, or porcelain-like pure white skin is dazzling to the eyes, wait, just who is that?! Who is that peerless beauty?!

Or rather, where did Armored Pres-san go? They kept calling me crazy for quite a while, but did it finally happen? Did I really go crazy now? She is gazing at me with her big eyes?

Ah, a downturned eyes look is very cute. Eh, ooh, her eyelashes are so long! The nose is high! Such well-defined features!

Who is this pretty girl? This world is full of handsome men and beautiful women of western-type, but she is far beyond even that. Creme de la creme. Not once in my whole life have I ever seen such a beauty even among models or actresses.

So fair, bewitching, lovely, charming, pretty Eh?!

EEehm?? Armored, or rather, boney, or rather, Dungeon Emperor, or Battering Pres, no, are you A-A-A-Angelica-san?

This lovely appearance, this dignified bearing, this standing figure, worthy of being called too beautiful, is none other than that of Armored Pres-san Angelica-san's?! EH? Wasn't she just bones? Bones??

She nods in a familiar way. Two round objects below her face also nod in unison. They are big. And she is smiling at me with a smile that seems capable of illuminating the world But she was a skeleton?

Her race on that status page? No, she became raceless later??? Eh? Actually, she is not even covering her front anymore!!

This is a risky danger for a highschool boy? I can see? A lot of things? Steam-san and Holy Light-san are both slacking off?

This is RED ZONE!!! EH? Waah!! Too late?

The next morning.

Yesterday, I got thoroughly washed and cleaned, every inch of my body, and I returned the favor in the same fashion, going over every nook and cranny of her body, after which a goodnight. Over and over again. In a highschool boy sort of way.

Finally, I zoomed up the stairs of adulthood, in a highschool boy sort of way? She is a monster? No, this is totally fine by me. Rather, I'm pretty sure I will never see anyone more beautiful than her?

The only thing that bothers me, is it really alright to be doing this with someone I subdued through Taming? It's kind of too late though? Well, she seems to be smiling with a very blissful look, so I guess it's fine? Is it?

Is it, really?

In the end, though I kept endlessly yapping that the Faraway Labyrinth has no monster girls, turns out, one was with me all along.
