Volume 2 Chapter 17 (1/2)

In the end, we continued the celebration until it was extremely late at night and afterwards I continued to write a letter for Phil, resulting in lost time for sleep.

Between Greenwood and Rumberg, there is a delivery service carried out by trained bird-type monsters, by using that service my letter should arrive at Greenwood by tomorrow.

Somehow the futon feels much warmer than usual.

When I fully opened my eyes, there was the sight of a cute girl sleeping in front of me. It was Luna who was sleeping soundly. It is amazing how she somehow managed to find space to sleep on this small sofa while I was asleep.

Ever since we arrived at Greenwood, I was relieved that Luna’s habit of entering my bed had finally disappeared, I wonder what kind of wind will be blowing our way this time. Even more amazing, is the fact that somehow the Magic Egg was sandwiched between the two of us. With this, I think I can understand what Luna was thinking.

[Seriously.. This girl.] (Youya)

I smiled bitterly at this girl’s sneaky tricks. I began rubbing Luna’s ears as they had an interesting feeling to it, like a *kunyu* sensation to it. It is surprisingly really fun.

Luna began to become restless as she opens her eyes.

[Good morning Youya.] (Luna)

For the time being, let’s flick her forehead.

[Ouch. Youya is cruel.] (Luna)

[I’m not cruel. I told you not to sleep on the sofa did I not? It’ll be uncomfortable if we had to sleep together in such a small place.] (Youya)

Even though I have been sleeping alone, I haven’t been sleeping very comfortably. Luna who deliberately tried to squeeze herself into a small gap must be feeling even more tired.

[Uhn. But it was important. Luna wants to sleep with the egg together with Youya.] (Luna)

[Is it okay to tell me the reason?] (Youya)

[If Luna and Til slept with the egg, then it would be Luna and Til’s child. But if Youya slept with the egg together with Luna and Til then it would also be Youya’s child. Luna wants Youya’s child.] (Luna)

That was the case. I couldn’t be angry at that.

[Then are you satisfied now? Next time do not come onto the sofa again.] (Youya)

[Uhn. Luna won’t come onto the sofa with the egg again.] (Luna)

Wait, something feels strange about what she just said. Suddenly, I felt a presence behind me.

[Luna, you did great! Tomorrow will be my turn!] (Til)

It was Til who was laughing with a strange laugh. Behind her was another person.

[That’s wonderful isn’t it? If you weren’t against it then I would like to do it too.] (Selene)

It was…

[I’m an old man but I’m also a healthy man. Aren’t you afraid about sleeping together with a male?] (Youya)

I have to warn them although they are being extremely careless.

[Ahahahaha. You would never lay a hand on any of us you know.] (Til)

[That’s right. Even Luna and Til who may be young but they are certainly beautiful girls. Even with this much favor from them, we can rest assured that you would never do anything strange to us. On the other hand, even if you did to me..] (Selene)

Luna and Til who were listening to Selene’s words to the end had a shocked face.

[Just kidding. It’s a joke. That’s just how relaxed we are.] (Selene)

Luna and Til began to walk off as they began sneaking somewhere.

[Luna, what do you think?] (Til)

[It is dangerous. Youya is in danger.] (Luna)

[I have to send a report to my sister.] (Til)

[Luna is neutral.] (Luna) [

[Ahh that’s bad. Now that it comes to this, we have to bring Youya into our bed once he is asleep to protect him.] (Til)

[If thats the case then Luna will cooperate.] (Luna)

Whether they are seriously trying to hide it or not, their intentions are clear even though their voices were not completely audible. Selene face became red as the two children continued to tease her. Nonetheless, it was a perfect tease in every sense.

It is nice to be trusted to this extent however it isn’t good for them to lower their guard this much to a male. It could be a good thing for me to show them how ferocious a man can be before they have to experience any man outside.

After that, we talked about various things.

Somehow, it was decided that I would sleep in Luna and Til’s bed with the egg tonight and tomorrow in Selene’s bed. Til was saying that it was unfair for Luna to be the only one to sleep together with me and the egg. Somehow unbeknownst to me Til had thought that way. Although I had refused that notion I eventually relented to their pleading. It was a strange request although there was a legitimate reason this time. Next time I’ll be sure to be firm on my stand.

[Youya, what dungeon will we be entering this time?] (Luna)

[If we were to search for the Starfish Larvae there is a chance for us to run into those people from Wolfgang again. Plus the monsters in the labyrinth are definitely becoming lesser. This time we will be entering a different dungeon.] (Youya)

Although many monsters were being eaten by the Starfish Larvae everyday, we had already been hunting in the labyrinth for more than five days. The number of monsters were evidently beginning to diminish. Due to this, we will be entering a different dungeon. The name of our destination is the Wailing Forest with a recommended level of 28. It is the most difficult dungeon available in Greenwood.

[Heh. I’m getting excited. Although the labyrinth is nice, I’m quickly getting bored of it.] (Til)

[The next dungeon will also have plenty of monsters. However, the monsters there can’t be defeated using the traditional methods easily. It is an extremely difficult place to fight monsters. However we will be hunting them down and raising our levels as quickly as possible.] (Youya)

For the Wailing Forest, although it was the most difficult dungeon available in Greenwood, there were many adventurers above the recommended level who came here looking to obtain the Magic Egg. Because of that, the monsters who weren’t usually being hunted were also being hunted.Those monsters weren’t the average run of the mill monsters that could be hunted.

[Uncle Youya, that sounds intriguing. Fighting a powerful opponent makes my heart beat with excitement.] (Selene)

[I feel the same way. However don’t get too excited. The monsters in the labyrinth were definitely not average by any means. However the monsters we will be facing aren’t ordinary monsters in the slightest. It is something similar to a boss. It is a special monster that can only exist as the only one of its kind. It is a totally different level from the monsters we have been hunting.] (Youya)

Bosses. There are three features that distinguishes them from normal monsters.

First would be that they are a unique monster that would never spawn another until it was killed.

Although it will respawn every week during the respawn day, it will definitely appear in the spot where it is supposed to be. And it will never leave that location.

Second would be their overwhelming strength. For this boss, the four of us together would barely be able to defeat it.

Thirdly, bosses have a dedicated list of item drops that can appear according to their rank in addition to the normal drops that can appear. Furthermore the drop rates for rare item drops will increase as the boss’s rank increases. At the boss’s current rank, it is possible to obtain the item which allows us to increase the number of party members to five. It’s drop rate right now is 30%. With Luna’s Increased Drop rate at level 4, the drop rate rises to 1.8times the original number to 54%. With that high of a drop rate, there is a good chance for us to obtain the item if we challenge the boss today and next week after it respawns. If we were unable to obtain this item then it is likely that we wouldn’t be able to head over to the new town.

[Is everyone ready?] (Youya)

[Uhn. Always ready!] (Luna)

[Today is a super ready day too.] (Til)

[Shall we leave?] (Selene)

Thus we finally left. However before we leave for the dungeon, first we have to confirm whether there are any quests for us to accept in the dungeon.

I was facing the usual receptionist in the guild.

[Just to confirm. You’re heading over to the Wailing Forest right? You do know that the recommended level for that dungeon is 28?] (Receptionist)
