Chapter 1287

It wasn’t that difficult to pull myself out of the soul world and bring Miki with me. While I was at it, I expelled the other girls. I appeared in my room with Miki still next to me. I looked around slightly with a frown. There was something off about the room.

The door opened, and I blinked to see the boss room of a dungeon just behind it. I was familiar with the boss room, and it wasn’t just because Xin was there, seemingly practicing her blade. Elaya was at the door. Celeste waved but didn’t join her. Instead, she flew over to Xin and started talking to her. Elaya came in the rest of the way and then smiled.

“They decided to relocate you to this room. Given your status, it seemed to suit that you remain here. This is closest to the yin-yang fountain. You also have a formation that will take you out of the dungeon. I should also say that this will be the safest room in Chalm once we’re done setting up the dungeon.

I sighed. “So, much for my dungeon training center.”

“Actually, we can still use it for that. The first ten floors are still built like they originally were. Your siren, Selena, acts as the final boss. We’ve even managed to create a fake dungeon core to sell the aesthetic.”

“The first ten floors? How big is my dungeon now?”

“Thirty levels.”

I whistled. I actually could have answered that question on my own. I was this dungeon’s master after all. I was just checking if my senses were working right. As for the size, it may not seem like a lot. After all, a dungeon thirty years old could have thirty levels, but one had to consider this dungeon was only months old. Furthermore, it had been completely destroyed and rebuilt after fighting Aberis and after the Maid’s Lament took it over. For it to not only recover but grow so much in such a short time was already ridiculous.

“Who will be protecting the boss room?” I asked.

“Naturally, this responsibility is shared between Astria, Xin, and me. We’ve agreed to take eight-hour shifts. Since none of us are explicitly bound to the dungeon like Selena, remaining inside it indefinitely would be quite boring, so this is the agreement we made. You don’t need to worry though. We’ve all agreed the boss room must be guarded at all times.”

“What about the twentieth floor?”

“At the moment, we have a golem protecting it.” Elaya shrugged.

“Very well...” I nodded as the door opened a crack.aster...” Faeyna blushed.

“Ah... he’s finally claimed her too...” Miki mused from bed.

“He moved.”

“So fast.”

The three loli girls all scrambled up and then spun around, standing at attention in front of Faeyna. She let out a sigh when she looked at them.

“Master, you remember when you told me I needed to find help? As I said, I wouldn’t hire anyone who didn’t have the potential. I found a group that works though, so these are starting apprentices.”

“I see...” I responded.

I was hoping for girls a bit older and more experienced, but it wasn’t a bad thing to start training them young.

“What unusual girls,” Elaya commented. “They’re brimming with magical energy. Their levels are also shockingly high for human girls.”

“Their hair is also the color of the fae,” I added.

“That’s not surprising.” Elaya sighed. “Ever since you put Astria under control and stopped her experiments, these girls have been causing trouble.”

I turned to her with wide eyes. “You don’t mean-”

“Yes, master. These are some of Astria’s experiment fairy children.”
