...

[Ah! Lady Chali, did you all already reached this floor too? I thought you guys will take sometime before arriving on this floor]

Seeing Chali group approaching the twin Anna and Anni, Anna suddenly said in surprise.

[Hm? Ah~ you guys wondered how we can smoothly pass through the forest of desire, aren't you?

About that, after we get the forest of desire information in detail at 20th floor Safe Zone, we buy quite a lot of potion that gives us temporarily high resistance on Mental Attack before proceeding to continue exploring the forest of desire area~]

Hearing Chali's unexpected answer, Anna and Anni became dumbfounded and have their mouth hanging open.

[So… you can get information about the terrain detail at 20th Zone Safe Area… murmur*(Why didn't I think about this possibility before)]

Anna replied weakly as she began murmuring toward herself at the end of her words.

she and her sister began lamenting about the fact she was careless and how lack was the preparation they have when exploring the floor with new terrain.

[Yes, we buy it at some high-rank adventurer party who creating their information trade business on the dungeon.

Ah? I think I forgot to tell you about how to get the monster and other detailed information here in this dungeon!

The adventurer guild seems already making deal with these high-rank parties to not disclose about the dungeon in a detailed manner, as a way for them to create money here.

You know, since these adventurer groups mostly get the backing from some grandmaster powerhouse of the Adamantite rank, the adventurer guild as well as ordinary adventurers can't do anything about it.

….

Leaving that aside, where's Master? Did he go somewhere and leave you guys here?]

Anna and Anni back to their sense after hearing Chali asking about Alex whereabout once again.

[Abaout that…->

Just as Anna was about to explain, all of a sudden, a glimmering light appeared on top of the magic circle below the Dungeon Crystal, indicating someone was teleporting to this Safe Area.

As the light gradually dimmed, a handsome young man's appearance became clearly visible.

Yes.

It was Alex.

He's already back here once again.

[There he is.

Alex! Lady Chali already reach-

*paused

Hm? What's wrong?]

Anna who trying to call Alex and telling him about Chali's appearance here suddenly paused her words and asked him worriedly after seeing Alex's somewhat weird and absentminded expression.

[(I didn't know it that "he" already moving there… I wonder why he could move there mystically like that…)]

Alex's mumbling in a low voice.

Seeing that Alex was still lost in his own thought and mumbling something incomprehensible, Anna decided to tap his shoulder gently.

[Alex, what's wrong? Did something happen?]

Feeling the slender feminine hand in his shoulder, Alex came back to his sense and turned his head toward Anna.

He hesitated for a while before settling to ease his expression and giving Anna his usual smile to reassure her.

[Nothing big, just my personal worry that's not too important.

Anyway, it seems Chali already reached this floor too!

It's good, I have something that I need to talk about with her!

Chali! How's your journey here? Is it fun?]

Anna who looks at Alex back to himself once again decided to put her worry at the back of her mind, observing him and Chali who began to make some conversation.

As for Chali, hearing Alex asked about her journey, she just smiled charmingly as usual, indicating that there's no problem throughout her group journey so far.

[Master, the training run smoothly, the other gained a lot of levels too, thanks to Master EXP Buff. 

Some of them even already reached maximum level! They will be grateful if Master can help them to advance their job]

[That can be done later~

First of all…]

After replying to Chali's report briefly with that words, Alex suddenly smiled and spreading both of his hands horizontally, seemingly asking for an embrace.

Looking at Alex's inviting gesture, Chali threw her usual reserved self out and rushing to Alex as her eyes started to wet, embracing his firm and manly body tightly.

[Master, I miss you~]

Hearing her usual charming voice, having a hint of slight hoarseness in it, Alex knew that Chali really missed him these days.

Without talking, Alex began to embrace her body and caressed her back in return.

While he's embracing Chali like this, he turned toward the other Silver Wolf members of the Chali group, creating some space on his body and spreading his left hand.

[You guys too~ came here]

Seeing that Alex was also inviting them to come to his embrace, the Silver Wolf ladies of Chali's group, eased their stiff body and meekly embrace Alex's body together.

Since they're wearing a mask, Alex couldn't see their expression.

But he believes that they have a girlish expression plastered on their face right now.

And so, Alex pleasantly having his warm reunion with one of the groups that separated with him for almost two weeks (if it counted from the day they started exploring this dungeon separately) by hugging them and being flocked by them, like a hen who giving the warm big body into its chick.

[I'm glad that you guys are fine, and smoothly climbing here~]

[Master…]

…

Not far from them, Anna and Anni observing the heartwarming reunion in front of them with a warm expression.

Since they always together with Alex, they reservedly choose to observe this from the distance, giving Alex to this group of women to pour their longingness. 

…..

…

.

After having his reunion with Chali's group, Chali began to retold her experience these days while she exploring the dungeon with her group.

From her story, their journey was quite smooth as they always having complete preparation before proceeding to climb higher.

Hearing that she and her group proceed smoothly, Alex exhaled his breath in relief.

Even though on the surface he always acted calm and all, but deep inside his heart he always worrying about them.

Also, at the time he was out to deal with his business a while ago, he started to think about hold the exploration for a while and wait for the others to gather on the 40th floor to check their condition and situation.

Just so he can ease his worrying heart.

[Chali, hearing that the exploration progressed smoothly, it seems your guys haul is quite a lot.

Is your storage bag still have some space?

If you guys have it full you can leave your haul temporarily to my inventory.

After we finish the exploration, I will distribute it back to you all]

After hearing Alex's proposal, Chali and her group flinched, panicking over his sudden offer.

[Master! Our haul is yours! You don't have to give it back!]

Alex who seeing the woman started acting like this, he suddenly changed his expression and became serious.

[What are you saying? This is all your hard work.

I'm not that wicked enough to take something that belongs to other people's hard work, furthermore, it's my people's hard work!

Anyway, after we finish exploration, you guys can keep it.

Selling it to Sofia for money or asking some artisan to create something for you, you guys can do whatever you want with it.

That's a final]

Realizing that they can't change Alex's opinion while he's firmed with his decision, they could only shrug their shoulder and nodded their head in defeat.

[Ah yes, did your supply is still enough to continue exploring further?

I think it'll be better if we stay on this floor for the time being and waiting for the other to reach here.

I want to check on their situation first before we start separately exploring the upper floors

….

Not only that..]

Pausing his words, Alex began to observing his surrounding.

Looking at the few adventurers who try to challenge the Boss room, he tilted his head in confusion.

[Eh? Why there are a few people here challenging the boss of this floor?]

Couldn't hold his curiosity anymore, Alex spewing this question subconsciously.

[Ah, about that…

It seems unlike the 20th Floor, the Boss here was quite difficult to deal with]

Chali replied.

[Huh? What do you mean it was difficult to deal with? I and the two of them defeat the boss with ease though~]

Alex unconvincedly retorted to Chali while having his finger pointing at Anna and Anni near him.

…..

Looking at Alex who said the ridiculous thing as it was the truth of the world, and his twisted view confidently, all his women looking at him speechlessly.

[Master…

Please understand that your power is not normal…]

Chali weakly answered.

On the other hand, Anna, Anni, and the other just shrugged their shoulder and shaking their head.

Murmur*(I wonder why he still thinks that all his absurd ability is totally normal… I'm glad that this dunce side of him is still in there though…)

Anna murmuring this as she sighing with a deep breath.

[Anyway, the boss of this floor is quite tricky to deal with, since most of its attacks always focused on mental attack, and affecting the challenger with a negative status condition.

I don't know exactly how master could deal with it with ease, but normally, any ordinary party needs to spend a hefty sum of gold to buy the high-level potion to just defeat the boss on this floor.

....

Look at there~]

Chali who was started explaining this to Alex, suddenly pointing his finger toward a small stall that attended by some adventurer and merchant.

In there, they sold something like potions and seemingly offering some low-rank adventurer party to buy the information about the Boss of this floor.

Near them, there's also Guard who suggesting these low-rank parties to not challenge the boss recklessly.

[Weird, that guy didn't bat an eye when I try to challenge the boss before…]

Alex said this while begrudgingly looking at them.

[Isn't it because Master already famous for your ridiculous strength?

Anyway, spending their time to challenge the Boss on this floor is required a hefty sum of gold so many adventurer parties decided to not spend their time to rechallenge the Boss.

It's simply not profitable for them]

Alex, who heard Chali's explanation, suddenly having his eyes glowed in excitement!

[Then, it's simply our fortune and chance!! With this, we can spend our time here, taking the boss on this floor for ourselves in our heart content!]

Seeing Alex who suddenly became excited, Chali and the other looking at him questionably…
