Hey Gloria, you think I might be able to leave the dungeon? I asked while walking towards the Safe Zone.

<< I can't tell you for sure... As the Dungeon Master you should be able to because you are a different body from the Dungeon Core, There's cases of DMs leading stampedes outside of the dungeon but... That's mostly after the Dungeon Core is destroyed. Most monsters cannot leave the dungeon unless there's an Overflow Condition, but low-ranking ones can wander off from time to time. >>

This change in your mood was great for my spirit... Thanks for that. I think I'll try leaving after setting up at least some basic stuff... At least enough to know the vicinity and everything... After we get large enough having more people come here would help us a lot.

<< Y-you are welcome... I'll be with you wherever you go. >>

That sounded... nevermind. I like this nature of yours quite a bit though. Never had a female friend to talk to like this so yeah. Thanks.

<< You mean... You were an incel? >>

Now, shut the fuck up before I find a way to get you down here just to kick you in the face. I wasn't an incel... I just had no... you know... experience, per se.

<< Hoooo... So, you were a virgin who never managed to find a girl? >>

I said: Shut up! But yes, you are right. But not because I couldn't... I just didn't have the time for that. Women where I came from thought we had to crawl all over them to get their attention and expected lots of benefits... I hated that shit.

<< But... isn't it what you are doing to our foxy girl? >>

Nah, I'm helping her because she's cute. Also, she never asked me for anything. If she had started by demanding my help because she was a princess of who-knows-where I'd probably have killed her on the spot... I mean, it's free real estate, right? Besides, now that we know having girls do stuff like that gives me EP, having her like me would help a lot wouldn't it?

<< That's true... By the way... I feel more awake since that happened... I've been taking way less energy drinks. >>

I mean... You are considered a dungeon member, right? You probably get strengthened by the Pleasure thingy. Do you even have a Status or something?

<< Nah, I mean, where I'm in there's no such thing as a system for me so... It's only natural I don't have one. But I can still feel it... Maybe some part of me is in this world of yours? or this sub-space counts as part of the world and is affected by it... No clue. >>

Now that you mention, do you sleep?

<< Of course, I do?! How could I not? >>

It has nothing to do with you but... I feel no need to sleep since coming here, you know?

<< EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?????>>

I mean I thought about it before, you must have let it slip since you were behaving like a robocaller...

<< Aww.... Don't say that okay? I'm proud of my business tone... I've been using it for centuries. >>

Good god... poor souls.

<< Oi, Oi, does that mean I have no time to sleep? I need my naps!! >>

We'll figure that out eventually. I'll probably have some sleep later too, even if I don't have to, since it gets boring and everybody loves a good night's rest. Anyhow, we are here.

<< Hmmmm... Okay.... >>

I first headed to the now boiling pot of mushroom stew, it smelled delicious. Oh, completely forgot.

System, get me a pair of wooden bowls and spoons. Something handmade if possible, not sure how far this world has gone.

< 2 Sets of Soup Bowls (Wooden) and Spoons cost 2EP total. >>

Sure thing.

Two normal sized bowls that weighted quite a bit materialized in my hand. I took only the spoon and tasted the stew. It wasn't the most delicious thing I ever had but it did taste pretty good... It may aswell be too good to have been made in a cave, but who knows. I left the bowls somewhat near the fire and headed to the tent to wake her up.

----------------------

Inside the tent, an already awake girl waited patiently for the time I came back

'Ah, he said he'd get me something to wear... Something's cooking, it smells so good... I hadn't slept this well in ages... How can he carry such expensive stuff with him? This tent is very luxurious, it even has a fluffy mattress! It doesn't even prick like normal ones... I mean, my bed’s also didn't but that wasn’t something someone could take around with a tent. Good mattresses cost a fortune and I had to save up almost a year's worth of my allowance to change my old one... Ah... I miss my bed so much... Does he know what I did yesterday? No way, right? I didn’t make any noise so I should be fine... But did he?... There was also that feeling of being watched... Did he see me naked? No way, it can't be. It must have been just my imagination...'

"Mihara, you awake?"

'Ah what? He's here? Oh my god' She fumbled about in bed trying to get her hair to behave and turned to open the curtains'

"Ah, yes, here I am!"

"... Thanks for the meal..."

"Hm? What?"

I lightly pointed at her, making her look down at herself.

Her hands holding open the curtains to the tent and the upper half of her naked body coming out of it. She was still laying down and only her torso up, so I could only barely see the rest of her body behind her... But man, those breasts are a dream! Her smooth sakura hair dropping over her shoulders and barely covering up her body was just a delightful sight.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaa" While screaming she went back inside the tent, curling up in shame...

"Don't worry too much about it, any man would be flattered just to be able to see you like that. Here, take your clothes." I said while handing the clothes I brought towards the curtains of the tent...

An adorable face soon appeared over a tiny opening in the curtains, held by her delicate fingers.

"Thank you, I'll come out as soon as I get dressed."

As she said this in the most adorable tone I ever heard, a small, trembling hand reached out to grab the clothes from mine. She was clearly embarrassed to death. I hadn't even had the time to relief myself from last night and now another blow like this... I must be getting blue balls already. As she grabbed the clothes from my hands I immediately turned around and went towards the pot to wait for her. I mean, I am no pervert to try and spy on her while she changes right? I mean, cute girls are my weakness, but I still have some decency...
