"We need to work on the dunyaon, Shall we create a maze?" Nekra proposed as she gazed at the dungeon's interior on the console.

"That sounds like a good idea. We could also set up some traps," Yuki suggested, revealing the trap tab to Nekra.

Nekra's eyes lit up with excitement. "I could make a trap door with a golem that only activates under a certain weight. It will let us save points on the traps Nya!”

"Ah, that's clever. We'll need to expand the dungeon for that," Yuki points out.

"We can make robots and golems do that for us," Nekra suggests, eager to conserve their dungeon points.

Yuki hesitated, seemingly about to raise an objection, but before she could, Nekra used her magic to create an army of golems. "Nya, get digging," she commanded the magical constructs.

The golems diligently set to work, expanding the first floor of the dungeon. With each stony footfall and the rhythmic chipping of their fists against the hard stone, the dungeon's layout gradually transformed expanding.

"So, what do we do now?" Yuki inquired, unsure of her role in this.

"We wait, Nya... How about watching some anime?" Nekra asks her eyes appearing like stars.

Yuki nodded, longing for the moment when she could hold Nekra in her lap again. "I've been practicing cooking while you were asleep," she confessed.

"Really?" Nekra responded, her mouth watering at the thought of Yuki's food. She couldn't help but imagine the delectable dishes her companion might have whipped up.

"Yes, I did," Yuki confirmed, mesmerized by Nekra's adorable expression. 'I really want to kiss her,' Yuki thought, feeling her cheeks flush slightly.

"So, where did we leave off? Season 2 of Knights and Magic?" Nekra asked.

"Guild master!" The same elven receptionist burst into the guild master's room.

"What is it?" he inquired, looking up from his towering stack of paperwork with weary eyes.

"The cave's layout has changed—it's like a labyrinth now, and it's guarded by stone-type monsters. Strangely, when they exit the cave, they just die," the receptionist reported.

"Is it possible that the rumors about dungeons are true?" the guild master contemplated. There was only one other dungeon in the world.

"If this is the case, we need to inform the king. This could be a significant asset to our country... Start sending higher-ranked adventurers to explore this labyrinth, and we'll need to give it a name," the guild master commanded.

"If the dungeon proves unremarkable, contact the hero to see if she can seal it," the guild master added, preparing a report.

… More god damn paperwork.

=======================================================

"This is so nice," Yuki mused as she gently petted the napping Nekra.

'I wonder if it's her cat side that makes her sleep so much. Not that it matters; she looks so cute like this,' Yuki thought, cuddling with the girl who was peacefully asleep on her lap.

===========================================================

"Nya!? I'm awake," Nekra exclaimed, jolted from her slumber by the blaring alarm.

"Good morning," Yuki greeted her.

"Who's that?" Nekra inquired, gazing at the adventurers locked in battle against the stone golems.

"It seems the guild has discovered us," Yuki informed her.

"Is the core still hidden behind the Knight MK1?" Nekra asked.

"Yes, and it's still concealed with invisibility on the roof," Yuki replied.

"Good, nya. Do the golems drop anything?" Nekra continued her questioning.

"Other than their stone bodies, not really," Yuki replied.

Nekra then decided to browse the Dungeon Point store. Her eyes widened with excitement as she spotted something.

"They have it!" Nekra exclaimed, wearing a radiant smile that seemed to captivate Yuki.

"What are you talking about?" Yuki questioned, completely clueless about what Nekra had found.

"It's an iron golem spawner from Minecraft," Nekra explained.

"A what from what?" Yuki inquired, having no idea about either of those terms.

"It's part of the knowledge I instinctively possess. But if I want a detailed explanation, you know the drawbacks, nya," Nekra responded.

Nekra retrieved the golem spawner and asked the sage, "Sage, how does this work?"

(Sage: It absorbs magicules in the air to spawn iron golems.)

"How about we bury it about two feet beneath the dungeon floor?" Nekra suggested.

(Sage: That should work; the iron golems will spawn within the dungeon.)

Yuki raised a skeptical eyebrow. "What's so special about these weak iron golems?"

Nekra explained, "They're made of iron, which means we could effectively have a mine. The country would want to exploit the dungeon for its resources, which means more adventurers and more dungeon points."

With a sly glint in her eye, Nekra revealed her grand plan. "Maybe we could even make a guardian... a golem-metal mechanical dragon. That ought to be scary enough."
