I guess it was her deep and slow breathing that got me thinking that she passed out, but apparently this girl is much more resilient than she looks. Nevertheless, I think it is going to be more tactful to not raise my voice too much, so I asked her a question with a quiet voice:
So, what do you think, Sherry? About today as a whole, I mean?
Thanks to both master and Miss Roxannes advice and guidance I was able to do a lot in just this one day, and I was also not dragging you two down. So. . . so I want to thank you for including me in your amazing Party.
I also think that you were as amazing as always, if not even more, master.
Roxanne showered me with another praise. Oh stop it, you two, you are going to make me blush!
There are things that only Roxanne can do. There are things that only I can do. There are things that only Sherry can do. So if we work together, there will be no adversary that we will not be able to overcome. Heh, look at me, thinking about such heavy and serious things while in a state of post-sex clarity. But with very minute now my consciousness is getting more and more hazy, so I think that it will not be long before I will drift off to sleep *Yaaaaawn!* Aaaanyway, from now on, all that I have to worry about is leaving the vanguard position to Roxanne and Sherry, and support them from the back with my magic to the best of my ability. Today was Sherrys first day of fighting with us for real and there were experiments with the Jobs to perform so I had no choice but to step up and defeat a number of enemies myself, but ideally I want to have the two of them capable of defeating all of the three monsters that can be in a group at once on the seventh floor without my help at all. And once we advance onto the seventh floor, where the number of maximum enemies per encounter is going to increase from three to four, I would want each of them to be able to handle two enemies at once. . . . . . . . . . . but now that I think about it, is such an approach not reminiscent of the concerns that Sherry told us about just now? Because it might not be as cruel as ordering them to fight in the Labyrinths while I myself would be sitting on my ass in the safety of our home, but it is still a pretty selfish thing to do. So maybe I should still be helping them out in the vanguard on occasion so that they would not feel like they have been left alone? That might be a good thing to do, because it might lead into the deepening of the trust between us, and the more Sherry and Roxanne trust in me, the better. That is a no brainer, or at least I think so.
The next morning, we took Sherry to the seventh floor of the Labyrinth of Quratar with us. I only just bought Sherry and I do not have the need for getting the large amounts of money urgently, but it does not mean that we should be breaking our routine of fighting the enemies who drop items that we could sell for a good amount of Nars. As they say, money cannot buy you happiness, but they can certainly help in obtaining it and keeping it by your side. Besides, since Sherry was doing okay on the Seventh floor of the Labyrinth of Vale and was holding her own against the Escape Goats, then she should have no problems dealing with the Slow Rabbits here. And she really was fine, because she was slamming them to the sides left and right before they could even get close to her with the slow hopping.
Until recently, Roxanne and I have been coming to the seventh floor of Quratars Labyrinth so that we could hunt down Slow Rabbits and sell their skins for profit, but now there is no need for us to do so, and we used that additional time to proceed further wit our exploration of Vales Labyrinth.
After hunting the Slow Rabbits and collecting their skins for a bit, we moved to the Labyrinth of Vale, where we proceeded straight toward the Boss Room of the seventh floor. Looks like we made much more progress and at a much faster rate than I thought. . . . . . or it is much more likely that I have consciously avoided coming back here, because I was refraining from moving to the eighth floor due to my lack of confidence and fear of having to fight up to four enemies at once.
The room where we have emerged was the small one next to the Boss Rooms waiting room. As usual, there are only two doors: the ones leading forward, and the ones leading back.
