Chapter 234:
Dungeon Stampede 2.0 Rooftop
Again, lifting the tent flap to check outside, I see a figure who seems to be Aine-sensei. But by the inspection hatch leading to the rooftop, she's trembling inwardly like a newborn fawn.
If she's that scared, she shouldn't have climbed up here.
But coming all the way here must mean she feels a strong sense of responsibility for her students.

"Why did she climb up here anyway...?"
"Because she was worried about you guys, right? She's a good teacher."
"Geez, fine, I'll go."
Grudgingly, Shark goes to fetch Aine-sensei. Serai-san is comforting a crying, prickly classmate, patting her gently. Meanwhile, I expand the slime tent to accommodate the increased number of people.
"Phew, that was scary... Toga-san! Hinagata-san! You shouldn't climb to such dangerous places!"
Aine-sensei, shaking and led by Shark into the tent, catches her breath and starts scolding the students for their dangerous behavior.
"But, Sensei..."
"No buts!"
"Well, well, Aine-sensei. What you're saying is reasonable. However, in this emergency, even though they are high school students, they are also empowered individuals who've gained abilities in the dungeon. Isn't it important for them to understand the nature of danger as well?"
"Uh, well, that is..."
I present a different perspective to Aine-sensei, who is scolding Shark and the others.
Yeah, I find it easier to deal with this teacher. She reminds me a lot of Rua with her baby face and droopy eyes. Not just in looks, but maybe in personality too.
"More importantly, Sensei, why are you dressed like that to come here?"
"Ah? Well, it was very hot today, right? This was the only outfit I had left to wear..."
Shark retorts, referring to Aine-sensei's attire.
For some reason, she came to the rooftop in a fashionable suit. It looked like something worn at ceremonies like entrance ceremonies. Did she leave it in the teacher's locker or something?
"Oh, yes, it was hot today. But with so many people gathered, water isn't freely available. How are you managing?"
"Okay, I'll take mine off too, so wait a second. My fingertips are sharp when wearing a suit..."
[(Bang...slosh!)]
Machi releases the jet-black Fly Queen suit, which fits her body, by channeling her magic. The suit then splits in two and slides down, exposing her white, mucus-covered body to the light.
"""What...?! Aaaah!"""
However, the mysterious glow of the mucus caused both Aine and Toga Ruri to scream.
"What... it's just a lubricant, right?"
"W-well underneath... you were naked!?"
"Yeah, it makes sense since it fits so well to your body. And even if you wear a swimsuit or underwear, it'll get wet with the lubricant anyway."
""....""
This was a natural logic for those who wear suits, but it was a shocking fact for those who didn't know.
"Machi... you're still as amazing as ever."
"What? You're a high school student, and your chest is cheeky. Here we go!"
Suddenly, Ruri complains as the mucus is sprayed on her chest.
"It's cold! Stop it like that!"
"Hmph, it's because I have cheeky breasts! And you're keeping me warmer than usual, so it's not that cold, right?"
Aine was curious about their sisterly interaction while naked, so she asked about their relationship. "Um... Machi, why are you so close to Toga?"
"Eh...? We even went to the super bathhouse together. It's not like it's the first time I've seen her naked."
"Even so, Machi is still a comrade in arms. You have to trust a comrade who you're trusting."
"Hey, what's with "even though"? Don't you realize you're defenseless right now!?"
"Whaaaaaaaaaat, Machi?! Stop it! Don't rub weird places!!"
"Hahaha! This this this!!"
Hmm... I was standing there looking dandy with my eyes on the night view, but I couldn't help but be bothered by the commotion behind me.
