“This is the place?” An unfamiliar voice drew my attention outside.
My expression froze as I saw the return of Misty, but she wasn’t alone. Right next to her was another girl I had never seen before. She wasn’t as beautiful as Misty. She had short orange hair and almost nonexistent boobs. She had a tall, lanky body and a flat butt. When I looked at Misty though, my eyes would have popped out of my head if I had one. She was wearing female armor, but it barely fit her.
Her breasts spilled out the top of the armor, barely contained in the B-cup trying to hold them. It was the same with her ass. She moved very stiffly, her voluptuous body mashed into a petite outfit. By looking at the girl next to her, I realized where she had got the armor.
“How are there two of you?” I felt like crying.
I had already been worrying about Misty alone. Now that there was a second person with her, I was doomed! All of my plans were for naught.
“Thank you for lending me your spare armor and a sword, Diamond.” Misty declared.
“Hmph, I already said, once we kill the dungeon, I want the reward money.” The woman named Diamond sniffed.
“I just need my armor back and the dungeon core.” Misty nodded.
“You’re still on about that?” She made a face. “You’ve failed to get the core three times now. Even with the guild mistress licking your feet, she’d never agree to make you a C-rank.”
“If I return with a D-rank dungeon core on my own, I meet the conditions for C-rank.” She responded. “This dungeon is my best chance.”
“There is just one problem.” The girl held up a device and shook her head. “This dungeon is only F-class.”
“Wh-what? But it was labeled as D…”
“Those fucking F-classers. I keep telling the guild to stop sending untrustworthy parties to assess new dungeons. They make up shit to maximize their profits. They probably wanted the treasures inside all to themselves. The treasures are all mine, by the way.”
“Y-yes… but if it’s only F…”
“You seriously are getting owned by a rank F dungeon?” Diamond laughed, causing the other girl to turn red.
“I-it’s tricky!”
“I never understood why the guild mistress loves you so much. With a sword in your hand, you’re as skilled as a B-class, but your so fucking clumsy you can’t even defeat an F-class dungeon.”
“If I bring an F, I can only be promoted to D.” Misty cried. “They don’t make enough. It’d take me a year to buy my little sister back.”
“Don’t you mean your little brother?” Diamond grinned.
“Don’t say that!”
“I heard she’s doing quite well for herself. Maybe it’s her lot in life to be a dilboy.”
“Stop!” Misty cried.
The Diamond woman was malicious. It was clear by her expression that she looked down on Misty. At first, I thought they might be friends, but no friend would antagonize the other like that. I had experienced enough bullies in my life to know that Diamond was likely bullying Misty. I knew my relationship with Misty was complicated, but I still had lost my virginity to her, so this other woman was pissing me off.
“Quite crying so much. You already lost your armor and the guild’s armor. If I wasn’t helping you, you might end up being the newest dilboy in town. Thankfully, you have me. Even with my C-rank, I was worried if we were soloing a D-rank dungeon. If it wasn’t for your ridiculous combat skill, I wouldn’t even consider it. A D-rank dungeon is intended to be taken by a group of 4-5 D-ranks ready to become C-rank. For an F-rank like you to solo an F-rank dungeon, it is impossible, but with my help, we should be able to pull it off.”
“But…”
“Be happy you can get your armor back and the promotion. So what if you can’t leap to C-rank? Everyone else has to rise step by step, so what makes you so special? You’ll rescue your sister eventually, so stop thinking about it.”
“O-okay… th-thank you…”
“Whatever…” She shook her head as if she didn’t want any appreciation, even though she looked smug getting it. “Hey, you’re still doing that?”
“I must pray for my goddess’s blessing before I enter.” Misty was on her knees with her prayer beads out.
“Waste of time…”
“Dear Great Goddess, with my friend here, I know I can conquer the dungeon for good. Let us end this quickly so we may go home.”
She stood back up, and I looked on with an ugly expression on my metaphorical face. I had gotten a feeling that Misty was a strong fighter, but I hadn’t realized how strong until Diamond spoke up. It seemed like even Diamond who seemed not to like her very much had to admit she had skill. If Diamond was seriously the C-class I had been worrying about, then I was truly in trouble.
“Stop!” Diamond grabbed and pulled Misty back just as she took a step over a pitfall.
Diamond shook her head, pushing down with her sword. A trapdoor opened, leading down into a pit. She glanced over at Misty, raising an eyebrow.
“I-it wasn’t there before!” Misty insisted.
“The dungeons change all the time. There could be more enemies, less enemies. Traps can be moved. Every time you enter, you have to treat it like it’s your first time.”
I wanted to kick Diamond into the pit. She was far too skilled. That was a hidden trapdoor, and she had easily found it without even stepping on it first. If this kept up, I was doomed. If I managed to knock her out, she wasn’t even worth touching. I’d just cut her throat. The pair continued onward, avoiding every single pit trap, even without the magic device I had recovered from Misty.
“This next area is goblins. Th-they’re the ones that stole my armor.”
“Haha… the great swordsman Misty can’t even fight a couple of goblins. I feel bad for you.” Diamond mocked her as they entered the second floor.
This time, I had two alcoves with four goblins and four more in front. Of course, I had replaced the one who died. The other had slowly recovered over the week, although it still moved slower than the others. The girls missed the alcoves as they walked, but when the four in back attacked, Misty spun around. It was a perfect pincer attack with two groups of four attacking two girls. Unfortunately, the girls were just too strong. They fought back-to-back, easily handling the goblins. I cried out as they were all cut down in under thirty seconds. That was 2000 points. That would take me over eighty days to recover without any guests and sixteen hours with the two of them there.
Even though Misty was moving restrictedly in her too-tight armor, she still killed them fastest, turning around just in time to see Diamond wailing on one. She was striking him in the stomach over and over again. Each time, there was a resounding clang as she struck the metal.
“Diamond!” Misty cried out.
“Huh? Ah, sooorrry…” She looked back and grinned maliciously.
Misty walked up to her and looked down to see her armor had been cracked and dented in a dozen places. Diamond had been ruthless, doing as much damage as possible. The helmet and other pieces of armor were on Misty’s side, and her clean cuts had not touched the armor at all, except for the splattering of blood.
She stripped the goblins of their wear. I could only watch on in pain as all of my gains were lost just like that. She had recovered her armor, and her weapons, and killed all of my goblins. It was the greatest loss I had experienced since coming to this world. I felt hopeless.
Misty took off her misfit armor. Although she had gone into a corner to do it, Diamond watched out of the corner of her eye. She had an ugly expression on her face as she saw Misty’s beautiful and voluptuous body. She dressed back in her armor, except for the breastplate which was too ruined to wear. She instead put on her father’s piece, which was large and clunky, but at least had room for her chest.
“You can have these back.” Misty held the armor back.
“After your skank ass has sweat all over it? You’re not even going to clean it first?”
“Ah! B-but I’ve only had it on since we arrived here, and I didn’t even get hit…” Seeing the other woman glaring at her, she pulled it back with a wince. “I’ll get it properly cleaned.”
“You better! I don’t want to smell like a cow when I wear it next.” Her eyes flickered to Misty’s chest before she turned and walked away.
“Ah! Wait…” Misty hastily grabbed her armor and weapons, running after the other woman.
She was holding three sets of armor and weapons on top of what she was wearing though, so it was hard to hold it all and she kept dropping things as she tried to keep up. The pair ended up on my third floor. This was the farthest anyone had ever gotten so far. I had never even seen my trap in action.
“Woah!” Thud. Crash.
“Watch it!” Diamond grabbed Misty.
“I-it’s slippery.” Misty cried, lying on her back on a smooth floor glistening with translucent goo. “And cold.”
This was one of the levels I was proudest of, mostly because I had saved so much money doing it. The floor and walls were made of ice. Ice hallways were expensive. It cost me 2000 points to make it. Yet, that wasn’t what made it so impressive. I had then purchased a slime, 500 points each. I used just one, who proceeded to polish the floor as smoothly as possible. Then, I cut open the slime and I let its slime out.
Every couple of days, I’d bleed the slime out a bit. It’d heal and grow back, the mass it lost. It was half the size it was when I summoned it, but it seemed to have a minimum requirement and it wouldn’t go below that, so I drained it weekly until the entire hallways were covered in slime innards. Buying a lot of slimes was expensive, but covering the hallway in slime innards just cost one slime and time. The result was a gooey, slippery space. Both girls tried to walk forward, but they kept slipping and falling.
“What the fuck is with this place?” Diamond cursed. “I thought you were dumb when you said those goblins seemed abnormally smart, but they did a pincer sneak attack on us. Now, there is this insidious trap. Just making sure I don’t hit a pitfall means I can barely move, and the cold plus this goo, what is it?”
Misty, still on the floor, touched the goo and then sniffed it. “It’s slime innards.”
“Why do you know what that smells like?” Diamond demanded, causing Misty to blush. “Whatever. Slime innards will corrode armor, and they are a good conductor of cold. It sticks to you and makes you freeze. We’ll have hypothermia before we reach the end like this.”
“Ah! Armor!” Misty looked at the armor she had dropped when she slipped.
“We’ll have to take it off.” Diamond sighed, removing her armor. “Don’t worry, I have a storage ring. We’ll keep our armor in there.”
“I-if you had that storage ring, couldn’t you have taken my other armor…” Misty asked, but when Diamond glared, she shook her head. “Never mind!”
Diamond nodded and stored her armor in there. Misty did the same to all four pairs she now had. “Ahhh!”
She tried to stand up, only to land on her chest. Diamond did a little better, taking two steps forward before falling. The two girls were determined, struggling along for eight hours, only able to barely crawl forward a few steps at a time. They fell countless times, and both girls were covered in bruises and slime and were shivering by the time they reached it.
The slime also ate their clothes. Countless holes had been eaten through, and now the majority of their bodies were exposed. I could see their tits and asses hanging out. Diamond wasn’t any better naked, but Misty was as beautiful as ever. Her butt was completely red from the cold, as was the rest of her skin.
“Are you fucking kidding me!” Diamond shouted when they reached the apparent end, which was a dead end.
Her eyes scoured along until she saw about 1/4th the way back, there was a side hallway with a lowered roof. The pair painfully crawled back to the turn, where they looked down on a long hallway with a roof only 3 ft high. At that point, the last of their clothing fell off, and other than their shoes, both girls were naked. The pair would have to crawl on their hands and knees to make it through this section. The lowered roof cost another 1000 points, but I thought it was worth it. One would have to remove their armor at that point if they hadn’t before. There was no other way short of climbing through naked and hoping you didn’t freeze.
“No, fuck it.” Diamond cursed. “I can’t… I’m already feeling frostbit. If we continue, we’ll die.”
“This is an F-rank dungeon…”
“This is a demon dungeon! I hate it! I can’t continue.”
“Wait… I got an idea!”
Diamond looked at Misty irritably, but Misty waggled her body, lying on the cold, icy ground. I had to admit that their red, frozen, shivering bodies turned me on. Their nipples were so hard they could cut glass, and every panting breath gave off a cloud of vapor. Misty put her feet up on the wall and then pushed and kicked as hard as she could.
She slid down the hallway on her back. The hallway was so slippery that she kept going. She slid to the end of the hallway just like that. When she got off the ice, her butt and back were covered in red welts and cuts, but she didn’t seem to care, even jumping excitedly until her foot hit the slippery ice and she fell back down.
Diamond looked on in disbelief and then did the same. She came sliding out too, although even though her butt was flat, she didn’t slide as far. It still took her an hour and Misty reached out and pulled her the rest of the way before the girls were finally free of the hallway. If I knew that they could exploit it that way, I definitely would have made more turns. I was also annoyed because they both zoomed right past the trap room.
There was a treasure chest in a side room hallway down that hallway they skipped. If they opened the chest, the door would slide open. The door was on weight, and the weight was the same as the treasure, so they could either find something equal in weight to the treasure, or leave the treasure, but otherwise, they’d be stuck. It was just a way to keep them in the cold longer and bring them closer to death.
That said, these two girls blew right past that trap. They brought their armor out again, and a fresh set of clothing. After getting as much slime off themselves as possible, they put the clothes and armor on, and continued to the next floor, likely to get away from the cold permeating their bones.
Like that, my third floor was defeated, and there were only two left to go.
