Mark saw that the twins, Milena and Nedertu, were already inside the RV waiting for him. The food that Milena cooked was already on the table and Nedertu was regaling the kids on what happened inside the Culano dungeon.

“Mark, Nedertu, and his friends fought off some fishmen inside the dungeon! Can we kidnap the guards on the dungeon gate and hide them somewhere so we can enter and have a look?” Isaac asked while Aaron looked at his brother admiringly saying that his brother was really clever.

Mark laughed when he heard the kid’s suggestions and Milena joined him.

“We can’t do that, but I’m interested in looking. Maybe we can talk to someone about entering the dungeon and we’ll treat it as a sightseeing vacation. Did you have any difficulty in fighting off the monsters on the first floor?” Mark asked the cat man.

“No. The monsters were easy to fight off if you’re an experienced warrior, but new adventurers would probably have a little difficulty.”

“If that’s the case, I’m sure the plant golems would have no problem dealing with the monsters while we watch. We will sit atop my floating disc then watch the golems fight off the monsters and once we're bored of it already, I’ll just clear out the monsters using my spells and we’re out of there!”

Milena and Nedertu gaped at what Mark had said while the twins cheered.

“We’re going to see the fish monsters! Can we eat them Nedertu?” Aaron asked.

“I don’t know. Probably not since they looked disgusting,” Nedertu replied.

“Why do you want to eat them? If you want to eat fish, we can request Milena to cook us some and if there’s no fish available, I can conjure it for us.”

“I saw fish in the village. They said that it came from a lake near here and I do know some recipes involving fish, so I’ll cook it for you guys tomorrow.” Milena said.

“Not tomorrow since we’re going on a vacation inside the first floor of the Culano dungeon!”

Mark was looking forward to seeing the fish monsters together with the twins. He was not worried about their safety since he was powerful enough for monsters on the first floor of any dungeon and he didn’t have any moral quandary about allowing the kids to join him since this was their world and the dungeon and monsters were part of it.

“Did your group level up and did you receive mana stones?” Mark asked Nedertu.

“Level up? You mean if any of us grew more powerful? Yes, especially the young ones who haven’t experienced battle with monsters before, but we didn’t receive too many mana stones since the first floor of the dungeon usually doesn’t provide a lot of those.”

“Will your group go back to the dungeon tomorrow? How do you go directly to the second floor?” Mark asked.

“Once you complete any floor by passing through the portal leading to the next one, the entrance to the dungeon will allow the party leader to select the floor entrance of the next floor that you’re supposed to battle,” Nedertu replied.

“I see, that’s interesting. That meant that the dungeons also had some sort of manager guiding them, either an artificial intelligence or a deity but let’s not tackle that unless we offend someone powerful.” Nedertu and Milena nodded when they heard Mark say that.

“Where were you, Mark?” Isaac asked while they were eating their dinner.

“I was roaming the circus and I stopped by Madam Luzviminda’s carts. Then we talked about a lot of things.”

The twins then lost interest and they talked to each other about their adventure for the day. Milena was intrigued though since she was one of Madam Luzviminda’s girls before she applied to be their cook and the twin’s nanny.

“What did you talk about?” Milena asked.

“Oh, we talk about the movies that are not fit to be seen by kids. The types of movies that cater to those who want to see battles between a man and a woman in the bed,” Mark checked if the twins were listening and were glad that they were busy talking to each other while eating.

“You have movies like that?” Nedertu gasped and even Milena was a bit surprised then she put on an understanding look.

Mark rolled his eyes at the cat man and thought that Nedertu was still innocent.

“You know Madam Luzviminda’s profession and you know that even the most isolated village will cater to her business. Why do you think that people who are advanced enough to create movies don’t have those types of people? To tell you the truth, the movies that we have about those things are very extensive. As you say, if there are buyers, there are producers.”

“Can I see one,” Nedertu whispered, and Mark laughed.

“If you’re interested in seeing one, you can go to Madam Luzviminda’s cart since I set up a television set and she rented three of those types of movies from me. I didn’t allow her to show those to her customers, but I didn’t forbid her to show them to anyone who’s part of the circus but honestly, those types of movies are really awkward to watch together with someone and should be watched alone or at least together with your significant other.

After dinner, Milena asked permission to leave so she could visit Madam Luzviminda and watch the special movies and even Nedertu was tempted to follow her.

“I’ve got to warn you though, those types of movies are mostly focused on the act itself not on the art so some would say that they’re disgusting,” Mark told Milena and Nedertu and the cat man couldn’t help himself and followed Milena to Madam Luzviminda’s carts.

Mark couldn’t help but kept on laughing at the idea of Nedertu who was curious as a cat about porn.

The twins were playing with their toys in the living room and asked where Milena and Nedertu were going, and he just told them that they were visiting friends. To entertain themselves, Mark introduced the kids to Mario Three using an old-school Nintendo Entertainment System.

“What kind of game is that?” Isaac asked curiously while Mark was setting up the console.

“It’s a console system that I used to play when I was a kid and one of my favorite games can be played using it. I want to show it to you.”

The twins were intrigued so they waited. When the console system was set up, Mark inserted the Mario Three cartridge and began playing the game. The twins enjoyed watching him and laughed at the silliest things like how Mario looked and how the monsters looked and how they could be defeated by jumping on them.

They cheered when they saw Mario able to cast Fireballs after encountering the glowing flower. They also cheered when they saw Mario flying when Mark let Mario touch a leaf and they cheered as well when Mario turned invincible after eating the star power up.

They were intrigued when they saw Mark solving puzzles that were part of the game like the card puzzle and match challenge. After a while, they expressed their interest in playing the game, so he allowed the twins to play Mario Three.
