Chapter 501 (1/2)

“If I might ask, how deep have you guys managed to dive?” I asked, trying not to treat her veiled flirting like she was serious.

It wasn’t just five women behind me boring a hole into my back, but also the five men behind her. I was being glared at by all sides. Why would I be even interested in that arrangement? She was pretty, with her long black hair over one eye, wide hips, and a dress and attitude that gave the feel of a sorceress.

The girl pursed her lips thoughtfully at my words, “Harem’s Boys has made it as low as level 15. Can’t get past the boss, but we will soon.

“I’m sorry, Harem’s what?”

“Ah, we forgot to introduce ourselves. We’re the B-ranked Dungeon Divers, Harem’s Boys!” She made a gesture to the guys, who actually seemed a little happy she acknowledged them. “I’m Harem, by the way.”

Her name is actually Harem!

“Is that short for something?” I asked, my lips twitching.

“Yup, it’s short for Harem Queen!”

It was as bad as I thought. To prevent myself from going crazy, I looked over at the next group.

“Rank S, Titan’s Fall.” The leader from the group of women said.

“Rank A, Demon’s Head.” The man snorted after everyone glanced in his direction.

“Still not S?” The large woman put on a mischievous smile.

“Hmph! If I accepted two more members of my ability, we’d be an S ranked team!” he shot back, and then looked at us. “So, what rank is your team? Six people, you have to be a C, right?”

Most Dungeon Divers were Adventurers from the Adventuring Guild, so these ranks were their official Adventuring Guild ranks. For various circumstances, I had been fighting in dungeons rather than going on guild sanctioned missions. The result was that we had only advanced a single rank. As for our group name, I couldn’t even remember it.

“Deek’s Group, um… F…”

“Sorry?”
