“What the heck is his problem?!”
“Argggh! Maybe something along the line of what you said made him do it!”
I knew there’s something wrong with that guy but to actually think he is this worst! I need a bigger wrench for the loose screw on his head for doing this to us! Who’d actually say Ah, maybe the trial really is necessary and immediately sent us into this shithole!
We are currently, I mean currently, running away from a rolling boulder in a narrow path made with earthen walls. Solving this problem will be really easy but, Topaz, who is running in the back, has a smile on her countenance.
“Um…Casablanca…Hibiscus….”
I tried looking at them who are running side by side beside me and they just turned at me with eyes that lost all hopes and dreams. I can see a little droplet of tears in their eyelids.
“No, Asagao, please you do it.”
“What you want is impossible.”
Their immediate response to my pleading look.
Meanwhile, Daisy is running in front of us, full speed ahead but really, she is not making any distance away from us. Her lioness tail with a fluff on the end sways and I am tempted to pull on it, however, this is not the time to be distracted.
Mimi runs behind me but I can’t ask her to do it. Her face is frozen in a perverted smile but her whole face is lit up in a cherry and cheeky blush.
BOING!~
Looking back, the one runs behind everyone is Topaz and from what I can see, her…breasts…vigorously bounces that by just looking at her, everyone would feel insecure or incurred with a lecherous eye.
Destroying a rolling boulder is no issue, there’s absolutely no issue about it but the team is…
The person herself is quite enjoying the experience…
Mimi seems like she is enjoying the view…
The twins are kind of dejected and don’t want to look at the figure of Topaz running…
And Daisy is going on ahead in a panic without thinking much of the situation behind her…
For me? I can’t say that I’m enjoying the view…I…I really don’t, okay? The dumb bird is just weighing me down with its weight on my shoulder and doesn’t want to flaps its dumb wing.
As we are trudging the narrow path, the ceiling started lowering inch by inch that eventually the rolling boulder could not move anymore.
But this is just not a good joke!
“Are you kidding me?! The boulder did stop but now we have to run like we don’t even know where we are going and the ceiling is falling!”
“Asagao, can I use my gravity magic here?!”
“Don’t! We don’t even know what’s above us! If this whole path collapsed, we might get buried!”
“Eeeh?! I certainly don’t want that! Let’s just hope we get to the exit before it completely crushes us!”
At this moment, my heart becomes tightly squeezed as I started faltering on my stamina. I look around and everyone is the same, no, they are in a far worse condition than me.
“A light!”
Daisy exclaimed happily while she leads the whole marathon crew. Of course, the news brought relief to us but the impending doom of the ceiling falling down to us is only a few centimeters away from our head.
Eventually, we have to lower our heads while running and the bad part of that is that we have to slow down. After that, we are now running while almost crouching on the ground…
At last, we are now crawling while gritting our teeth…
I noticed something…
“We aren’t even getting close to the light! What kind of a fraud labyrinth is this?!”
“We’re going to get crushed!”
“Ah…wait…”
From Hibiscus’ worried cried, I also noticed that the ceiling stopped exactly at the moment we are crawling on the ground as if it is making fun of us. There are several inch gaps between us and the ceiling that we can still raise our heads but it is enough to make us crawl.
That guy is definitely messing with us!

“For now, let’s crawl until we get to somewhere…”
And thank goodness I’m not wearing a skirt. There’s a white laced underwear immediately comes into my view when we crawled. A tail solemnly wags in the view so I immediately knew who it is.
We can only move our elbows and knees as we crawl and that’s definitely would make us so earthy after this.
“Uggh…wait! Auuu…”
I cry reverberates in the surrounding that made me stop on my track. A sudden sensation collides in my butt as I stop!
“Ack! What was that?!”
“Asagao, you suddenly stop so I just…Well, this is not bad.”
“Mimi?! Get off my butt!”
“It’s your fault…”
“Don’t breathe in there!”
“I can’t help it!”
“Who was the one that cried anyway?!”
“It was Topaz!”
Damn Mimi trying to take advantage of the situation! When I thought that she is already turning over a new leaf, she does this lecherous act!
Well, I can’t tell her to move back as there’s not much room to do so and honestly, I did suddenly stop.
“What happened to her, hey, Topaz, what’s up?!”
“The moving space is kind of quartered and from what you saw earlier while she’s running, you can bet that among us, she’ll have the most difficulty in this kind of situation.”
“Ah…”
I can imagine how her breasts will be sandwiched between the ground and her weight. The asset that she has becomes a burden in this situation because it offers so much friction that she can’t press forward as fast as us.
“Ahahaha…how do we go about this…?”
Frankly, I am stumped by this problem, a problem that usually occurs to well-endowed girls. Even as a man, I was quite scrawny and never had any problems with narrow places. I feel like a stealthy ninja when I move lightly.
As I was thinking of that, the ground suddenly rumbles and the ceiling that kept us crouching and suddenly shoots upward. Every single one of us immediately turns a look at Topaz and saw her countenance boiling in frustration.
“Buh…Why do I have this fat anyway?”
“Don’t just massage them out of nowhere. If you just have done something about this earlier, you wouldn’t have gotten flattened like that.”
“I hate boobs!”
You can’t tear them off, you know.
It’s already there and it’s one of my sources of fan service. It’s also your storage for all the food you eat, right? RIGHT?
The boulder earlier was crushed so there’s no worry about it chasing us anymore so I beckon everyone to continue walking. It’s not that the light that Daisy saw earlier isn’t that far, it’s just that we are moving so slow.
“Oh…It’s getting hot…”
“Hibiscus…do you know what this means?”
“Definitely not…I hope…No, I hope it’s not that…”
“If you speak like that, I feel like something bad is foreboding after all…”
“Am I a bad luck now?”
As what their conversation goes, the temperature slowly rises and we started sweating profusely and the path that we are traversing becomes so stuffy that I started becoming annoyed too.
“Casablanca…”
“Yes, Hibiscus?”
“I think I really brought bad luck upon us…”
“……”
“At least deny it! Don’t we love each other?!”
“I’m sorry…You do know what kind of experience have we gone through, it’s kind of difficult to answer with a clear head but it’s definitely not your fault.”
“Ah…Maybe Asagao was the one bringing in the bad luck…”
…Don’t look at me.
I don’t bring in back luck. It’s just that problem itself finds its way to me. It’s from the course of my experience that I can prove that I am misfortunate in circumstances that involve the most punishing situations.
Okay, I bring in the problem, not the bad luck.
While I was thinking of such trivial thoughts, we arrived at the passage where the light was supposed to be coming from.
What beheld in our sights is a large open with room huge crystals hanging from the earthen ceiling coupled with dozens of stalagmites. The rocky room has a lot of rocks lying about and a single path leading to a new room is at the other end, however, the problem right now is…
“……”
“……”
“……”
“What’s wrong everyone?”
“……”
“……”
Have I ever said that I kind of despises slime because of their spawn rate?
Have I ever said that I despite underground dungeons because of possible lava flow?
Also, have I ever mentioned that the same as the twins, I hate underground?
“This isn’t what I’m expecting to see!”
As what Daisy shouted, this isn’t what WE expecting to see…
Right in front of us is a slime three meters tall, wobbling and bobbing in front of us. Also, it’s made out of magma and did I mention that this is underground?
“Magma!”
“Slime!”
“Hot!”
“Stuffy!”
“”DESTROY! SWIFT ELIMINATE!””
“[Spirit Beast Summon – Ice Wolves!]”
“[Gravity Compressed!”
Casablanca and Hibiscus immediately jump on the gun and attacked the magma slime! Six ice wolves are conjured and immediately breathed ice breathe at the slime and a ball of black matter appears in front of the slime and started pressing on it.
And Emby, being useless against the opponent, benched this one.
However, the slime was able to extend a part of its body and flung magma upward that it hits the stalagmites, causing it to fall on us.
Simultaneously, the ice breathes that the ice wolves fired off collides with the slime and immediately explodes. It was a steam explosion if I remember.
“[Barrier!]”
I immediately deployed a barrier to protect us from the explosion, however, I wasn’t able to cover upward as the stalagmites are in a completely different angle.
Mimi immediately flew towards the launching pointed rocks and started pounding them.
“I got this!”
Amidst the steam, the wolves are still firing their ice breath despite catching the explosion head on. The steam immediately cleared off as Casablanca’s gravity heavily affects the atmosphere and it reveals to us that the slime is slowly turning into ice.
However, its core is the one keeping the freezing at bay as it fiercely burns. If we let off the ice wolves attack, it will quickly recover.
“Open the barrier!”
“Okay!”
Daisy shouted as she brandishes her sword.
Upon dissolving my barrier, Daisy dashes in a flash with the assistance of wind magic and possibly, using Ki to further accelerate her movement. Casablanca deactivated the gravity that was pressing the slime and Hibiscus’ wolves stopped attacking.
She steps on the ground and twists her body in a spinning motion…
Hey…this is a problem with talented people…to easily mimic Calm Dragon Tempest.
With her spinning momentum, she dug on the frozen body of the slime and her sword dug up to the core. With a few centimeters of the sword barely piercing the core, the slime collapses and the core rolls with a broken surface.
Afterward, the twins plop on their butts with an exhausted countenance and suddenly…
“It suddenly became cold…and I'm drained of magic energy...”
“You ice wolves were too excited that the place becomes a little frozen…”
At least we are not going to bathe in our own sweat but it is as they said, it’s damn freezing now that I can feel my knees shivering.
Ah…
Oh...oh damn…why now of all time?!
“I think I need to pee…”
“You too?!”
“Eh?!”
“You need to…too?”
“Yeah, I need to pee too…”
“At least call it picking flowers!”
Hibiscus shouted at my word embarrassedly. She started squirming with her arm pressing on her clasped thighs with teary eyes. Because of her gesture, I immediately felt my bladder filling up to the limit and I Immediately falls on the ground too.
Ah…this is bad!
Casablanca and Mimi raise their hands in unison with a flushed countenance.
“Umm…I have to…you know…pick flowers too…”
“I think I need to too…”
What’s with this situation, some kind of a gag joke?!
With these maidens, I can’t just bluntly tell them that they just turn into a corner and do their thing there. No, even I wouldn't want to do that!
Also, that nameless wizard is managing everything so he might as well be watching over us right now!
“Hey! You are watching right!? You can’t be having us do disgraceful thing such as peeing ourselves, no?!”
“A-Asagao, what are you saying?!”
“You are a gentleman so can you at least give us some privacy?!”
I shouted towards the ceiling, towards nothing, and that agitated Hibiscus even further. I’m just making a random guess but it would be better if he can actually hear me.
“……”
“……”
“…That damn bastard.”
THUNK!
Suddenly, a portion of the earthen wall opens up like a metallic door. All of us, of course, got our attention pulled to an out of the place room that suddenly appeared.
Everyone peered inside of it and there’s a toilet bowl, meaning, there’s a comfort room appeared out of nowhere.
I like how considerate he is but at the very least attached a damn door to it!
And the room itself is fancy as the seat of the bowl itself is decorated with a lot of frills made of silk. The tiles are a laden black of beauty and the scented toilet paper is decorated with flowers. Even the light that illuminates the room is an intricate chandelier…
“You’ve got to be kidding me!”
