The next floor seemed to also be a boss floor which came as a bit of a small surprise.

An even bigger surprise was the fact that the door to the boss room was actually closed for some reason.

It couldn't be that there's another party fighting the boss right now, right?

Hmm… Oh well, I guess we should also just take a break here first while waiting for the door to open, especially since I was feeling a little hungry now.

I took out my camping stuff and let Eins and the others take over in setting up camp while I organised the recent loot that I've got from the Monsters.

Most of the loot consisted of Mana Crystals which I intend to just store them in my Pack of Folding to act as Mana batteries and also impromptu explosives like I had used on the slimes earlier.

There were some succubi parts that I was planning to hand over to Lisa and let her decide what to do with them because I have a feeling these might be good for alchemical parts.

Hmm… Now that I look at this… This Dungeon isn't really that profitable for me in terms of making money quickly isn't it? Good thing I wasn't here for that at least.

I turned my gaze towards my Shadow Guards who had already set up the camp in record time and were now preparing the food for dinner.

Unfortunately, their skills in cooking were pretty much the same as mine so I wasn't really expecting much to come out from that. At least… Not on the level of Katsuki's or Mary's of course.

I could at least cook simple food ok? And I spent some time surviving in the wilds on my own back when I was younger, I know how to do that at least.

Ugh… I still have two more days before I need to leave and I already miss everyone so much…

I mean… That feeling is somewhat mitigated by the fact that I have my Shadow Guards here and they were taking their guise, but it's not the same.

Unnghhh… I wanna hear Odeta's laughter while I grope her abs… I want Katsuki to spoil me with her service… I want Lisa to flirt and seduce me… I wanna hear Delmare's singing… I wanna fondle Emilia's ears…

Without warning, I found myself falling backwards and I flailed my arms in surprise thinking I fell into a trap.

My worries were unfounded as I found myself falling into Eins's lap, her thighs cushioning the back of my head as she laid me down on top of her.

She then started to stroke my head with her hand, just like Mother would when she cuddles me.

Oh… She most likely sensed that I was distressed and made use of my memories to figure out just what would comfort me.

She most likely realised that I felt most comforted and at ease when Mother did something like this so she emulated her actions as well.

I smiled at her, "Thank you, Eins."

Eins tilted her head at me, "What for, Master?"

"Fufu~ You are so cute. It's nothing~"

She nodded at my answer and went back to stroking my head silently.

On the other hand, I simply laid back and enjoyed the feeling of Eins's hand running through my hair.

Mnnn~ You know… I also miss times like these… When I didn't need to worry about fighting monsters, training or even other Dungeoneers. When my worries were just attending school and then coming back to have some tea.

Those were nice too…

Now I don't mind if--

My thoughts were interrupted when a hole opened up in the ceiling and someone fell through it, crashing onto the ground a few metres away from me.

I remained laying down on Eins's lap while the others went on guard, all of us watching the figure slowly get up from the ground.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch… Why would they even put a trap there in the first place?" The figure groaned, revealing themselves to be a female Mahun dressed in rags.

She finally recovered enough to look around and realised that she wasn't alone and let out a yelp of surprise.

"Waahhh!! Are you succubi too?! Stay away! I'm warning you! I'm armed! I can fight!

Don't come near me!!"

I looked at my party members for a moment before looking back at her, "Err… Hello? You realise that you're currently in the waiting area before a boss room?"

She paused and looked around again, probably finally spotting the door at the end of the corridor and then the stairs right behind her.

She then collapsed on her knees, "I… I made it! I can escape! I'm free!!"

I was about to ask her what she meant before she leapt to her feet and rushed towards the stairs.

The woman only paused for a second to place her hand at the side of the stairs before rushing up the steps, disappearing to who knows where.

… Err… Ok? That was weird?

I guess she's one of those captured Dungeoneers that Hiandoca told me about, except this one managed to free herself on her own?

I went back to enjoying Eins's head pats right before another hole opened up and someone fell through again.

This time, it was a male Rejmar who appeared and he was completely naked when he stood up.

"Hahaha! Take that! What did I say?! Nothing can hold back the likes of me! What do you think about-- Who the heck are you?!"

I frowned at him, "That's rude coming from the naked guy that just dropped down out of nowhere."

"You're not one of those damned, succubi are ya?! Because if you are, I'll let you know that I've fucked your kind into submission before! Don't try me!"

I didn't get to answer him before another hole opened up and a similarly naked male Mahun fell right on top of him, smashing the poor Rejmar into the ground with their butt.

"Ow, ow, ow… Where am I now?"

"Get… Get off me you bastard!" The Rejmar roared, shoving him off.

The Rejmar only just managed to get up on his feet before another hole opened and a naked male Inugami fell through to smash his head against his with a loud crack.

Both men let out a cry of pain and started rolling around while clutching their heads in pain.

I ignored the two and sat up to address the male Mahun instead, "Hey… Could you explain to me how you got here? Were you captured by the succubi to be used as cattle or something?"

He groaned, "Yeah… Me and several others actually… But I don't know why since yesterday, the monsters seem to become less organised and they even got more sloppy in guarding us, almost like they lost interest in keeping us captured for some reason… Are you also one of them?"

I shook my head, "I'm afraid not. I already went past the succubi floor and I'm about to face the boss in the next room."

He blinked at me, "You… Managed to get past the succubi floor?"

I nodded.

"But… How?! My party actually found the stairs to the next floor but that was where we got wiped! They turned the area in front of the stairs into a trap where a whole bunch of them were gathered! We were captured the moment we stepped in there!"

"All I can say is that I have my ways. Anyway, the stairs to go back up to the surface is that way, unless you intend to fight the boss here completely naked like that."

He looked down at himself before quickly covering his privates with his hands, "Ah shit! Fuck! I completely forgot! Fucking succubi!! They took all my gear!! Those were expensive too!"

Another hole opened up right then and a female Nekomata fell through, yelping in pain when her bottom hit the floor.

"Owww!! Fucking, fuck! I managed to run away and I just had to fall into another trap… This is bullshit…"

And as though taking offence to that, a female Yoblin fell right on top of her right afterwards, crashing into the woman's chest and sending them tumbling onto the ground.

Ok… This was getting a bit ridiculous… Why were they even being sent to this particular place in the first place? Granted, I don't know if there were others being sent to other floors but the fact that six people had already appeared here can't be a coincidence.

As I had just came to that conclusion, a scream came from the stairs and the woman that had first fallen here came running back down and leapt into the corridor.

A split second later, a giant rock smashed into the doorway, completely blocking off the stairs.

I thought that we were blocked in until the rock slowly started rolling upwards and disappeared after a while, leaving the way up open again.

Something tells me that if anyone were to try going up the stairs, they would be met with a similar fate.

What the hell is going on in this Dungeon right now?
