Chapter 12 - 12 - new dungeon

"Is your party name chain leggings?!"

"You don't know? Well I guess you're nine so its normal, chain leggings are light yet tough and can withstand slash attacks from weak opponents, they are the ideal legs!" (jack), he exclaimed as if his life depended on it.

"Those are just his fetish." (Erika) says with a smirk.

"What's a fetish? " (haruka)

"Fetish?! " (Tim) Tim looks at Jack warily.

Just like that, there was chaos around me. Tim suffered the most because he was tricked into wearing Jack's fetish. Also he screamed 'fetish' deeply and loudly, that the passersby glared at him "What are you teaching that 9 year old?!" their expressions seem to say.

"nee nee, Jack-san, would you like it if I wore chain leggings too? I pretended to whisper in his ear but spoke aloud. His ears went red there was some imaginary steam coming out. My voice was after all, that of a nine year olds, it should still be pleasant even if it wasn't a whisper.Immediately everyone in the surroundings stared Jack down. Some even punching their fists into their hands, signifying that they want to beat him up. After all he was a suspicious adventurer with a little girl on his back, on the way into a dungeon.

"Can't talk? Is it because you are too busy feeling up my thighs while carrying me? You lolicon." I continued teasing. "Hey, Emily, thats enough teasing" (Erika) "Why, was it originally your job?" Erika reacts with a smile. Correction, her mouth is smiling but her eyes are not, I stepped into a landmine... "Okay, okay, I'll stop. Jack, please put me down" With a disappointed look, Jack placed me down. Eh? Was he really enjoying it? Uwaaaah, and I thought he was a fairly normal guy.

We continued talking as the queue continues shift for 15 minutes before we finally made it. We had to put down our names, and I had to show the guard my level. "Thats probably a disguise skill that comes from an accessory your rich parents bought" Feeling a vein pop on my head, I turned the ring on and immediately his clothes disappeared and he was lying on his belly upside down.

Walking closer to him, I placed my feet on his belly before speaking. "Do you believe me now?". "You could have one of your friends there cast a spell on me!" I used wrath and brought his memory from the future. A memory that showed a possibility where I punched his **ck and left a crater, effectively making him female. "Do. You. Believe. Me. Now?". He was on the verge of sending out excretion. "Yes..." He couldn't understand where those memories came from, but they felt very real was the impression he got.

After my party went through the door, it was very silent. "...." They all seemed to have the same expression. "Now do you guys believe I beat the beginner cave solo?" Immediately all of them shook their heads vigorously. Were they scared? "Come on, you guys don't have to be so nervous, this dungeon should be easy since we are in a party" Pretending that I was dense enough to misunderstand, the party members sighed in relief. "Did that joke cool you guys down? Come on, let's explore the dungeon." After hearing that I was trying to cheer them up, their expressions lightened and they started moving forward.

"Hey emily, you shouldn't indulge in Jack's fantasies like that at the queue. Wait you're 9 so you shouldn't know what a fetish is right? A fetish is uhh... It is uhhhh..." (Erika)

"No need to explain something I already know, and I won't steal Jack from you, so relax. "

"Yep, you should leave it for when you're older. WAIT, WHAT?!" (Erika)

Pretending everything was normal, we continue walking through the dungeon, I forgot to mention it was somehow an underground jungle. I had to borrow insect repellant from haruka. They removed the mosquitos and all, but GIANT flies were approaching us anyway. Activating my [black speed ring], all the flies exploded from the shock wave of my punch.

A deep black aura emanated from my ring. Looking closely it said lv 7/10.What happens at level 10?Why wasn't this shown when it was first created? Well, it was probably another upgrade, but I'll leave that for later. I could only guess that the "world" deemed it worthy to be a magical item, allowing evolution or that the passive [auto mana absorbtion] absorbed enough mana to call it a magical item.

"hmm? Whats up?" I noticed the party members staring at my ring. "b.. Bl.. Bllla.. BLACK RING?!" (Erika)

"Hmm, what does it signify?"

"It means that it is around tier 5 in power for an item. For items they start with red then green, purple, gold and finally black. Respectively they represent the tier of items from 1 to 5."(Erika)

"I see, thanks for the exposition"

"WHO ARE You calling exposition!!" (Erika)

"So what does your ring do?" (Erika)

"It gives me around 700% of speed enhancement"

"So thats how you beat up that guard..." (Erika)

"... No, that was my base speed, it wasn't activated then..."

"..."(Erika)

"Anyway ontu dungeon exploring!"

With that proclaimation, we accidentally wandered into a boss room. Like the orc king boss room, the doors dramatically close down behind us... This time they were tree trunks though.What seemed to be a dryad seemed to be in the middle.

" Well this looks easy~" (Jack) said as he was thinking about unspeakable things, slowly inching his hands closer to the dryad. *BOOM* tree trunks exploded out of the ground spiralling around the dryad, more than a hundred vines also came out of the ground.

"This isn't the time to joke!" Jack screamed from over where the tree trunks were.

"Good job jack! You jinxed it by calling it easy!" (Erika)

"Sorry! Little girls like me don't do well with tentacles!" I screamed while running...
