The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter Chapter 65

Chapter 65
Translator: “Kell” Editor: “Weasalopes”
I came back to the 7th floor, yearning for Dori-chan to soothe me. It seemed she’s been living healthy and sound since the last time I was here which made me glad. While talking nonchalantly, we somehow ended up playing a game.
「Uhhnn… Noir-chan… not… there.」
「You’ve got to bear with it, Dori-chan.」
「But… that’s my weak spot… Ahh! This is… the first I’ve done this…」
「All right… I’m gonna amp it up.」
「Aaaaaahhhhhhh~!」
Dori-chan’s gone crazy and collapsed so I stopped. I felt something strange within me watching a little girl huffing and puffing.
But let me say this first. I am not doing anything shady. We were simply tickling each other.
「Now it’s my turn.」
「Fufu.. hehe.. hahahaha! I give up-」
She went for my neck and my stomach, so now I was the one going hysteric. No, I can’t take any more. I feel like my mind’s going to a faraway place.
「Your neck’s so smooth, Noir-chan. (rub) 」
「Yours too, Dori-chan. (rub) 」
「This is kinda embarrassing. (rub) 」
「Yeah. I wonder what people will think if they saw us like this. (rub) 」
It most certainly looked like a pervert was assaulting a little girl.
Dori-chan seemed to remember something and told me to wait while she went somewhere. She came back after about five minutes wearing a smile so bright, I wanted to kiss her cheeks.
「I found another treasure chest. I hid it so I could give it to you.」
「You did that for me? Thanks, Dori-chan.」
I gratefully accepted her gift with a smile. It was a simple staff, made of metal, heavier than a wooden one. I checked to see if there was something special to it.
【Flaming Staff Rank C Skill: Blaze】
I tried swinging it at something and fire came streaming out from its tip. A flaming staff, huh? It’s cool but frankly its firepower’s a bit mediocre.
My【White Flame】was more powerful, and I didn’t have to swing a staff which made things easier. Still I was overjoyed for Dori-chan’s gift.
「It spits out fire, huh? But you can also do that, right?」
「Ah, yes. Still I’m glad for this gift you gave me.」
「You can sell it. I’d be happy if you used it in a way that would best serve you.」
「Dori-chan…」
She was really a good girl. If I had a kid in the future, I want to raise them to be just like her.
「Then can I convert it into LP?」
「Yes. Please do.」
It might fetch me some money but I would rather just convert it to LP. I expended quite a lot on the 8th floor after all.
1,200 LP, huh?
It was acceptable so I converted it. All right! I got more than 3,500 LP now! Though reluctant to leave, I made my way down the stairs to the 8th floor as Dori-chan watched me.
「I’ll be back soon, Dori-chan.」
「I’ll be waiting, Noir-chan.」
All right. I made it back to where the path forked. There was no one on the entrance to the right that I went through earlier. In the middle, however, was the hunk Ack, and on the left stood Uck the treasure hunter.
「Oh, you’re back! Did you finally decide to embark on a thrilling adventure with me?」
「You should go on a treasure hunt with me. Come, this way.」
They were eagerly trying to invite me. If I was right, both paths should have stairs going down to the 9th floor. But if I went with Ack, it would be more dangerous. If I went with Uck, finding the stairs might prove difficult. I think.
Well I can always take another shot with my skill. I decided to go with Uck this time.
「Hooray! I must say, you’re a reasonable one. Let’s go.」
I cast a sidelong glance towards the frustrated Ack as we went onward the left path.
「You were right to choose me. It didn’t go well with Hack, did it?」
「Well, no. The path was long and he was immature.」
「He’s actually the extremely jealous type. I call him Obsessive Bastard.」
「My father always says that no one likes a persistent man.」
Then again, he was the one who persistently tried to woo my mom.
「Ack is even worse. He’d betray his friends for the sake of a thrill.」
「I’m surprised you partied up with those two.」
「…」
She suddenly turned silent. I wasn’t quite sure yet, but if I guessed right, the three of them were actually created by the dungeon and they were not real persons. If they were real adventurers there was no way they’d act separately in a dangerous dungeon like this. A dungeon could create monsters so it only made sense that it could also create fake humans beings.
「I can smell treasure.」
She was getting excited which was understandable. When we turned the corner, a patch stretched on with doors on the walls, two on each side. There must be rooms behind those doors.
「All right then~. Which one should we check first? Let’s try this one.」
Uck entered the first door to the right. She’s too lax for her own good. I moved carefully and stopped at the door. There could be a trap, like the one that got my master. There was only a treasure chest inside, however. There didn’t seem to be any traps on the walls or on the floor. Uck moved closer to the treasure chest, letting out a strange-sounding laughter.
「You should come here. It’s big. I’m sure there’s extremely valuable treasure in there.」
Indeed. It was made of wood and unadorned, though it was quite huge. About a hundred and fifty centimeters in diameter and a hundred centimeters in length. It was something you don’t see too often.
Just in case, I appraised it. Something was wrong. I called for Uck’s attention.
「Be careful! It’s no ordinary treasure chest!」
