A/N Regarding some questions from the previous chapter...

* MC's friend Matthew is a slave that was sold to the Coliseum so he is basically screwed and she can't save him cause the guards are too op. And she has too little money to buy him.

* I may or may not do a POV of the father. IDK.

* "Shoujo" Which friend POV???

* The MC hires adventurers in case she needs some meat shields to get away from potential people that are hunting her because of her father or fiance.

The next morning I got up and arrived at the city gate with my horses and wagon and there were five men and one female elf that were waiting for me.

We exchanged pleasantries and I explained to them what the goal of this quest was.  Of course I spoke in a manly voice and had my hood on so they couldn't see me.

So we quickly set off and since it was my first time actually speaking with an elf I asked some questions about her. It turns out that she was the B rank adventurer in this group and she was an archer and Advanced rank in Light magic. Her name is Ayla and we had  a pleasant conversation throughout our journey.

I also got to know the others a little bit. 4 were swordsmen and one was a Intermediate Fire mage.

Nothing eventful happened until the fourth day of our travel where we came across a little girl that was beaten on the road and left for dead.

I felt pity for her and picked her up and had Ayla heal her with her light magic. The little girl looked to be about 8 years old and had pretty blonde hair. When I picked her up I noticed that she had pointed ears like Ayla! To my surprise she was an elf and had a slave collar on her neck.

Ayla  was extremely outraged by this and asked me if we could bring her along. I knew that elves were coveted as sex slaves and they were very expensive. Since I was her employer she naturally had to ask me for permission first because she was a liability in our journey, but seeing the battered and bruised little girl softened my heart and I let her travel with us.

The young elf girl woke up at night, probably from the smell of dinner and was surprised at her surroundings.

She was really cute and let out a cute yelp. I resisted the urge to hug her right then and there. She had beautiful blue eyes and a cute oval shaped face with some baby fat, but I knew she would turn out to be a real beauty like all elves did when they grew up.

We first fed her some food and asked her what happened, she began to tell us her story of how she was born a slave and her master got mad at her and left her on the road to die.

Her name was Sylvie and she was seriously cute. We got her cleaned up and gave a some fresh clothes although they were too big for her. It made me want to hug and pet her on the head even more. But I restrained myself because that would possibly give away my gender to the adventurers.

When she saw me using magic she looked at me in wonder and I felt pretty good about myself. I started to teach her magic, luckily Ayla had those magic balls that told you what your affinities were. Surprisingly she had above average affinity in water, wind and light.

I was able to teach her the basics in water and wind magic while Ayla taught her light magic.

I had to restrain myself for 2 weeks from keeping myself into snuggling up with her under the blankets.... she was that cute.

We traveled for 2 weeks and we finally reached the city-state of Myrn. We found an inn to stay in and I got a room for myself. Ayla accompanied me to a slave trader in order to free Sylvie. The other adventurers went to do their own business.

When we finally found one I had to negotiate the prices because it was really expensive. I had to resort to taking my hood off which surprised Sylvie and Ayla and used my sexual charms to sway the slave trader to lower the price to 10 gold coins.

'Hehehe... My sexual charms are indeed formidable.'

After we got the slave collar off of Sylvie she came up to me with her big blue eyes and said, "Thank you Big sis." I almost had a heart attack from the over load of cuteness that emanated from her.

I couldn't help it so I hugged her until she pushed me away because I was practically choking her.

We were able to find an orphanage and after much consoling and persuading Ayla and I managed to convince Sylvie that it was for her own benefit that she stayed here until Ayla comes back and takes her back to the Elven homeland.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

After a tearful departure and pain in my heart, Ayla and I went to stock up on supplies. I made sure to tell Ayla not to tell any of the others that I am female and she told me that my secret is safe with her.

I headed to the adventurers guild after stocking up on supplies to get some information on this city and the road we would soon be on. When I entered I saw a huge wanted sign for 5,000 gold coins.... and the person that was wanted.... was me.

'Shit, shit, shit, fuckity, shitty, shit shit.'

I knew I had to get out of here fast. Father has quite a bit of influence and I underestimated him. 5,000 is a lot of money and I bet a lot of people would be out to get me.

I quickly gathered the adventurers and told them that we were leaving.

When we all gathered I threw my bag into the wagon and I heard an "Umf!!" noise and when I uncovered a blanket I found Sylvie.

When I asked her why she was there, she begged me with her puppy dog eyes that she wanted to come with me. I didn't have the heart to refuse her so I reluctantly (happily) let her join us.

I needed to hurry and get out of the city-state area because father would be sure to find me soon.

We traveled for one week and I made sure to warn Sylvie not to call me Big sis because the others believed me to be male. We entered a forest a few days ago and we came across a cave that wasn't on the map.

"Heh, Looks like it's a new dungeon. Should we take a look boss?" said one of the adventurers. I was quite curious about what was inside because I've heard a lot of stories about dungeons and all the treasure and danger that they possess. So I agreed to take a look and if there was anything dangerous then we would head back out and go back on course.

I decided this was a good learning experience for me and Sylvie and I also was kinda low on money so I thought this was a quick and easy way to earn some cash. I mean I was an expert rank in earth magic so I was pretty sure that I could handle anything that this new baby dungeon could throw at me.

The first floor had many bugs that were really irritating but with wind magic I was able to create a barrier that kept them away in case they were poisonous. There were small rats and slimes which I had Sylvie use her beginner magic to slay them for some experience. She was able to finish them pretty quickly with her wind blade spell.

There were also kobolds and goblins which weren't much of a problem to the Rank C adventurers. and we were quickly able to reach the 2nd floor.

The 2nd floor was actually a forest environment and we encountered new monsters like hobgoblins and there were other dangerous animals such as tigers, bears, wolves and poisonous snakes. But we got through them without much problems.

The scenery was still the same till we reached the 4th floor and were in a cave again. The difficulty of the dungeon increased as we got deeper. New monsters like skeletons, ogres, large lizards and devil dogs which hunted in packs were on this level.

I actually had to help out this time with my magic or else the others would have had a difficult time and probably would have died.

One of the hired adventurers got greedy and saw a treasure chest. he ran without telling us and he fell in a pitfall trap and died.

Well... we got the chest and found 100 gold coins which we split evenly.

By the time we got to the 6th floor only one new monster appeared which was the silver back ape which was covered in muscles and thick fur and I had to use my rock bullet spell which I created, because I'm a freakin' genius. The rock bullet spell isn't as fast as a bullet but it was pretty close and all I had to do was aim at the eye ball and it died.

The monsters were appearing more frequently and we were getting tired. I suspect we were in this dungeon for about 10 hours and I decided that if there is nothing on the next floor then we are heading back out.

On the 7th floor there was a single guardian and it was a cyclops which I assumed was the boss monster. It was really anticlimatic because I used wind magic to cut its achilles tendons and a rock bullet into its eye and it died.

There was a huge red crystal and we all got close to it. I touched it and it began to shine brightly and I had to close my eyes.

Suddenly when I opened my eyes again the scenery changed and we were in a big white room.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter.
