Chapter 10 - The Duke’s Daughter, Auf

Prev  |  TOC  |  Next “Can’t I just take the spring water home? Are you really telling me to venture into the dark depths of a dungeon? Even commoners are now buying the water from the first floor, aren’t they?” Auf, the daughter of the Nausa Duke family in the Kingdom of Sepans, voiced her dissatisfaction with a pout. “Yes... My lady... Even if you were to bring water from the deeper floors back, the dungeon’s mana would dissipate, rendering it ineffective. The current theory is that only the water from the first floor, being closest to the surface, retains its mana when taken outside. Therefore, for the second floor and beyond, there is no other way but to visit the dungeon in person.” “Tch... So, once you use the first-floor spring, everyone becomes enchanted... and then everyone starts aiming for the deeper layers... huh. What a cunning and insidious dungeon...” After listening to the old servant’s explanation, Auf couldn’t help but mutter bitterly. Born as the t...

The answer to that lies only with the girls living in this world. The value of life, pride, and honor varies too much depending on the era and civilization. “...Hey, Peta-chan. Can’t we get rid of the dungeon monsters?” To begin with, I don’t remember placing any monsters to kill adventurers. They just spaw...

Chapter 8 - Impact

Prev  |  TOC  |  Next Even two months after the dungeon's creation, the Hot Spring Dungeon continued to attract hordes of female knights every single day. However, by this point, most of these knights weren’t coming to soak in the hot springs themselves. Instead, they were serving as escorts for nobles who were eager to experience the springs' miraculous effects. With so many people visibly transforming—their skin and hair becoming radiant—it was nearly impossible to keep the hot springs' effects a secret. Rumors of the Hot Spring Dungeon spread like wildfire through noble society, and soon, countless noblewomen began clamoring for access. But let’s not forget, a dungeon is an extremely dangerous place teeming with monsters that kill people. No matter how much the noble ladies and their daughters begged to enter, it wasn’t something that could be easily permitted. As a result, nobles had to bring an absurdly excessive number of guards to escort them safely to the bat...
