Chapter Title: Winner

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

Ta-da.

This is the reward I got from the dispatch this time.

Hm?

You're saying dispatches usually give stingy rewards?

Why'd I get so much this time?

Well, you see...

In 3M Hamster's dungeon, intruders showed up too.

A ton of dumb goblins and trolls barged in.

Looks like you're living that happy Lowjinrat life.

Anyway.

Running dual racks with Sis + 3M Hamster means even non-main dungeon waves give hefty EXP and points.

Plus, Kongkong Sis's dungeon is a happy Etuden Dunmasi spot.

Way more intruders than 3M Hamster's, for sure.

Bet the future rewards will be solid too.

Oh, and.

I discovered something kinda weird.

That crying person statue I installed in 3M Hamster's dungeon before.

At some point, its face turned from human to dinosaur.

So now it's not a crying person statue.

It's gotta be the Crying Lizardman Statue.

I opened the system window and checked the minion list.

No real changes.

Huh, weird.

Is it gradually taking on dungeon influences?

Doesn't seem to affect performance much.

Probably in Kongkong Sis's dungeon too.

That red mask felt a bit off from what I imagined.

Might be influenced by the related theme.

"Assai."

"Kerak?"

I called Malang and the goblin playing at the entrance.

The goblin scampered over.

This fine goblin who's been useful twice as entrance bait now.

What to give it?

"Got some decent swords from those knights last time, but it'd struggle to swing 'em, so nah... wait a sec."

I headed alone to the core room.

Rummaged through the junk I'd stashed.

This should do, right?

A dagger knights use as sidearm.

And some jewelry as a gift this time too.

"Good job on the anomaly role. Assai. This is your reward."

"Kerak!"

"And showing off is fine, but only to your friends. Don't let the dwarves spot it outside."

"Ke... Kerruk..."

I pointed at the goblin's gold necklace.

The goblin scratched its bald head.

"Anyway, thanks."

"Kerruk."

I stuck out my fist.

The goblin just stared blankly.

Malang finally demonstrated with its own body.

Then the goblin bumped fists.

"Now off you go."

"Kerruk."

I set it as a minion one more time.

Sent it outside, then released the setting.

"And with that, the incident's wrapped... not quite."

Kongkong Sis said she had something for me.

Once I get that, it's really over.

"Newbie! Long time no see!"

"Weren't we just chatting nonstop in the gallery?"

"W-Well, yeah... ugh, you wanna get teased back?"

"Just kidding. Kidding."

This wave dragged on pretty long.

Felt like over a month, for real.

Anyway.

The worry, Marquis Davirus, is gone.

"Feels like he won't come back, right?"

"Dude had a super teary farewell. Probably not."

We shrugged.

Bonus: the jiggling right in front of my eyes.

Breasts that big must bounce with every move.

Traps and shoulders must be jacked.

"...Keep staring where?"

"Your boobs, Sis."

Sis pinched my cheeks.

"You little! Just! Total!"

"Ow ow...!"

Same situation as before.

Cheeks turned physically red again.

"Hng hng. Unfair. Can't I glance? Not pervy, just ergonomically fascinating..."

"Newbie, how about a dash of tact?"

Sis clenched her fist.

Better quit while ahead.

"Anyway, thanks for saving my skin. Truly grateful."

"I'm thrilled you kept your purity too, Sis."

"N-Not sure that's thrilling for you, but..."

Right now, I was a unicorn.

She stayed uncorrupted.

Of course I'm happy.

Someday I might have to brace for that day.

But not now.

"Forcing yourself into hated stuff is sad. So yeah, happy occasion."

Sis was my friend too.

Gotta wish happiness among us rare Dungeon Masters.

"Heh heh heh."

Sis giggled.

"Bet you were super popular before becoming a Dungeon Master."

"Regrettably, no."

"From what you just said, I get why."

Sad.

Just a brutally honest guy who can't resist a pun.

"Ahem, anyway. Since 3M gave you a Drake Heart... gotta pay up."

"Ooh."

"Don't get hopes up. Our dungeon ain't productive... Got temp gender-swap potions or aphrodisiacs maybe...?"

Nope.

"Or sensitivity boosters times ten, various toys too..."

Nope.

"Ah, I know! Don't glare... just asking politely!"

"Got it."

Almost thought 'What does this sis take me for?'

Probably her highest-grade stuff, so she asked.

"Really no interest in temp woman potion? Guys usually curious, I thought..."

Ah.

"Got a favor, Sis. Could you give that to 3M Hamster instead?"

"H-Huh? Why 3M all sudden?"

"To beat Oblivion."

Watch this.

Oblivion.

I'll feed it to 3M Hamster.

And take victory from you.

"No clue... but take it and deliver yourself."

"Thanks, Sis."

Sis handed over ten whole potions.

Not like gift-pack Bacchus boxes.

No need for so many.

But hard to refuse.

"Next, loot from past intruders... Dunno if anything suits you."

I followed Kongkong Sis to the warehouse in Zone 7 basement.

Had to gape.

This ain't a warehouse, it's a scrapyard.

Armor piles to weapons and sundries—like a mountain.

"K-Kinda messy, huh... I told 'em to sort it, damn... w-wait!"

Kongkong Sis frantically tidied, then stormed out raging.

Scolding sounds from above.

Guess tentacles slacked on cleanup.

"Ack."

"Don't eat yet, Malang."

Pet pet pet.

Moments later, slinking in.

Tentacles dejectedly started sorting.

"S-Sorry for the wait... Should've checked..."

"Knee pillow while they tidy?"

"Ah, r-right! Forgot that."

Sis spread a carpet on the floor.

Sat gracefully, patted her lap invitingly.

"C'mere."

This Newbie.

Confession: I just fantasized that.

Kongkong Sis.

Actually a guy chugging TS potion pretending to be a girl?

Reasonable suspicion.

After witnessing 'The World is Cold' potential.

Gotta suspect everything.

But nah.

This scent ain't normal.

If 'femininity' was a battle stat.

100 max, she'd be 99.

"Haa."

Oblivion.

This once.

Withdrawing hostility from you.

Knee pillow lasted a solid hour.

Fuck.

Bliss.

I'm a guy too.

But those massive orbs half-blocking my view.

Overwhelming vista.

A true spectacle.

Could die happy—no, not that.

Anyway, glad I was born.

"Sis, you really a girl, right?"

"...You see me as a guy?"

"Not potion'd?"

"You fuck... Newbie."

Bonked hard.

Ow, for real.

FYI, per Sis, TS potion lasts 1 hour.

Don't believe? Try it yourself.

I know I shouldn't say it.

Blame 3M Hamster.

"Was happy."

"R-Really?"

"Truly happy..."

"N-Never thought you'd be that happy, heh."

"Huuu."

"Next time... uh, if chance, again...?"

Yahoo.

Thrilled.

Time to head home slowly.

With 3M Hamster, now Kongkong Sis.

When parting hits.

Feels super reluctant, y'know.

"Gonna go?"

"Gotta."

"Kinda sad..."

We waved.

But.

We got the gallery.

And next times.

Not forever goodbye.

Promise of reunion.

No need to be too sad.

"Bye, Newbie."

"See ya later, Kongkong."

We waved.

After visiting Kongkong's dungeon, Love's venom spiked a tad.

And these folks' freakouts worsen daily.

"Ack."

"What's up, Malang."

Malang climbed my lap.

Wants something, looks like.

Not hungry after gorging at Sis's.

Gotta be this, ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠right?

Pet pet pet.

"Puwak."

And today.

Malang looked unusually cheery.
