-desert-

-Elly-

It's been 4 days since we started grinding together. Eris somehow agreed to take a break while Velvet watch over her and Kanna at the lodging.

"Are we there yet?" I asked the two as we continue walking in this fiery hot desert.

"Almost there lady Elly." Gerald replied as he lead us using his skill Zone scout.

"..."

The three of us took a quest by ourselves. The quest we got is about exploring a rumor.

"To think a building suddenly appeared out of nowhere..." I murmured.

"I fear that may not be a simple building Lady Elly."

"Do you know it?" I asked curiously.

"Not sure yet. But it might be a dungeon."

"Dungeon..."

Dungeons. In this world there are places in which yields various rewards. That said, dungeons also varies based on the theme, difficulty and the reward.

"We... got lucky... we arrived early... just when the news arrived..." Said by Emy now panting.

"Geez. You need to do some exercise sis." I passed a water bottle to Emy as she simply replied with "thanks" before started gulping water.

"Phew. That felt good!" She claimed as she pass the empty bottle back.

I stuffed the empty bottle to my inventory.

(Good thing we can store many items to our greed's bag)

As we continue walking, Gerald suddenly raised his hand halting us from proceeding as he signalled us to stop and point forward sending our focus to where he is pointing.

"That looks like the entrance."

"Indeed lady Emy."

Distance away from us revealed a small temple like building with two large columns in each side of the door. The wall seems to be like made of marble with visible aging as there is cracks on the edges.

We get closer to observe more. There are strange inscriptions in the wall as if acting like murals of sorts. We trail around the building only to see nothing else.

"Weird." I said as we return to the entrance.

"Yeah. It seems... Small?" Emy confused.

"There might be transfer device inside. Let's proceed with caution lady Elly lady Emy." Gerald warned us as we all nod to each other.

Gerald lead us infront as he place both his hands on the stone like door and slowly push it open. Inside revealed a dusty place with broken pillars inside. It clearly shows how old this place is.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

Inside is a square like room approximately 30-40 ft distance away to each other. Torches laid with distance separately to each other around the entire wall. Markings also inscribed inside that looks like vines. In the center of each wall are large crystals.

As we shift our attention at the center, we saw a pillar. Around the pillar are crystal balls. There are four of them on each side of the pillar. There are almost no color but it is not transparent either.

We felt like touching it but we held back.

"First rule of exploring dungeons is to observe before touching anything."

Gerald informed us many times as we head in this place after all. As if we will fall to some petty tricks.

We continue looking around for a good 30 minutes to almost an hour trying to discern the meaning behind this inscriptions and this crystal ball.

"Ladies. One thing that is true to all dungeons are it can be entered again after finishing it. So we can continue farming as much as we can. This is why dungeon exploration quests do not have a time limit and always limited to 4 parties only. Luckily we got the spot first."

Me and sis nods at Gerald.

"That said, I fear this might be dangerous. Which is why I believe it is better if your party take this first."

"Our party? But aren't you part of it already?" I asked him.

"As much as I am honored to hear that lady Elly, we still need lady Eris opinion for she is your party's leader." Gerald said.

"I see."

"For now how about I just help you two grinding some exp somewhere else? And later you two invite lady Eris and lady Velvet? As far as I can see, your party synergy is very good. I will just join you guys on the next few dives."

"I understand but. Why join later?" Emy asked.

"You see, sometimes first entry in dungeons provide better reward and sometimes even great surprises. My unique class are also from one of this dungeons to be honest."

"I see. Then thank you for your consideration Gerald." I bow at him.

"Of course lady Elly. Now let us head to the monsters near here. No one will enter here anyways until we send a report about it since we are first."

"Yes!" Me and sis replied in unison.

That day Gerald helped us grind some exp until sunset before we return home.

-end of Elly pov-

-night-

-in our lodging at zone 2-

"Veeeellllvvvveeettt" i call on her as I roll on the floor.

Velvet ignores me and just continue humming as she cook food for dinner.

Feeling a little haughty, I tiptoe towards her and surprising her by hugging from the back.

*Eeeek*

She indeed got surprised and even dropped the ladle spilling a bit of the soup she is trying to taste.

She tried to turn around only to fail because I am hugging her from behind as hard as I can keeping her in place.

With a grin I blow into her ear to tease her.

"Kyaah"

Velvet instantly turned red and her body feeling tensed.

I lean closer to her ear to whisper.

"Let me go already~" before giving her ear a nibble.

I felt her body shiver and moments later her nape now fully red like her cheeks.

*Gulp*

I found myself staring at her bare nape. Something in this view seems enticing. Seems seductive. Seems hot. My face slowly get closer to her nape as I smell the fragrant flowers. She probably have one as her body wash. As time proceed slowly I find myself getting closer and closer to her nape. She isn't doing anything which made me think it's okay to continue.

My lips are about to take contact with her skin. As i am about to take a peck the door in the living room suddenly opened. We quickly separated to each other and somehow fixed our disheveled clothes and face before pretending to do something else. I quickly sat on a chair in the dinning table since it is literally just few steps from the kitchen without any wall to separate. While the dinner table are separated by a wall to the living room giving a sense of privacy as it hides the kitchen and dinner table from guests staying at the living room.

Soon enough there is Elly peeking from the living room in to kitchen. She noticed me already sitting at the dinner table so she immediately flop on the chair next to mine.

Feeling a bit awkward I talked to Elly.

"Hey. How's the quest?" I somehow asked her without stuttering.

"We found a dungeon."

"Dungeon?" Me and Velvet asked in unison.

Velvet turned around to face Elly as she held a ladle in one hand and a saucer on the other hand apparently testing the soup again.

Elly blushed a little when she saw Velvet's face which made me feel curious so I take a look at her too.

"Velvet..."

My mouth opened on it's own as I saw Velvet's disheveled face. A strand of hair on her mouth. And her face a little red from blushing and visible sweat.

(Damn... That's hot. Wait no! I thought she fixed her face geez.)

Now I also felt a little embarrassed as I look down at the table making Elly more confused as she look between us.

Emy went to the kitchen then saw our state. She quickly grinned as she realized something happened. Emy slowly walked behind me then lean her face to my side in between me and Elly before whispering.

"How's the taste?"

I felt shivers down my spine as I realized the meaning behind Emy's words. Velvet seems to hear it too as she quickly look back to the pot now probably deep red blushing. Elly tilts her head confused while Emy proceeds to laugh as she take a sit on the empty chair infront of me.

I keep looking down trying to hide my embarrassed face only to feel Emy's feet teasing my own below the table. I look at her only to see her smirk and felt her feet now trailing from my toes, to my knee before diving to in between. I felt her toes tap on my shorts exactly where my private part is.

I instinctively close my legs only to feel hers stop it. She pushed it even more now I felt her feet directly pressing my slit.

I burry my head on my hands as I feel my body lose strength dropping my upper half on the table. She continue trailing her feet up and down on my sensitive part giving it some teasing caress.

My toes stretch from feeling the incoming release only for her to stop.

I look at her pleadingly as if asking 'why'

Only to see her smirk before opening her mouth. I saw her lips move. I didn't hear her voice but I somehow understood what her lips made.

(Tonight?)

The realization took in and I found myself getting wet. I bit my lip again as I feel her feet trailing once more. She continued this risky game of hers until Velvet finally served the food for dinner.

Gerald also sit with us with Kanna beside him as we started eating.

Despite everything happened I felt betrayed for not even once...

(Emy never let me climaxed...)
