Chapter 6 - Fight... Fight More!
Late at night, long after the sun had set, the two members of the survey team finally returned to the royal palace—only to be met by a stern-looking knight, presumably their superior, standing with arms crossed and demanding an explanation, her face twisted in anger.
“What were you two doing all this time? Don’t tell me you were slacking off in the hot spring...?!”
Just as she was about to unleash her fury, shock overtook her, rendering her speechless.
These two... looked clean.
Unmistakably so.
Their skin...
It was...
Incredibly...
Smooth.
“Yes... it’s true that we were soaking in the hot spring...”
“But... it was to visually confirm its effects for our report.”
Anyone who knew what their skin usually looked like could see the obvious change.
The clear, undeniable effects...
As their fellow female knights gathered around, they all gasped in unison the moment they saw the two.
“...He...hey, can you show us your arms, legs, and body too?”
When the two stripped down to their undergarments for inspection, a shockwave rippled through the entire knight order. Everyone present had the same thought:
“ “ “ “I absolutely have to try this too!!!!” ” ” ”
Even the Queen, upon hearing the report, commanded, “Take me there at once!”
“Please wait, Your Majesty! We must thoroughly confirm its safety first. We will test it for a few days to ensure there are no harmful effects. Please be patient!”
But the knights stopped her.
Of course, safety was a concern, but they also feared that if the Queen experienced the effects too soon...
“This spring is now exclusive to the royal family! No one else may use it!”
...The Queen might suddenly declare that, and there would be no way around it.
Before the nobility could think of monopolizing it, the knights had to take their turn.
Years of harsh knightly life had left their skin rough and their limbs stiff and rigid. They needed to restore their soft, smooth skin.
And so, a massive wave of female knights descended upon the dungeon.
“Uh... What is this...? Master?”
“Yeah... they’ve come... customers... a lot of them.”
I had expected some to come, but not this many.
The weak monsters on the first floor were instantly crushed by the scary, bloodthirsty mob of female knights, who seemed to be shouting, “Get out of the way, you pests! Die!”
Once they reached the hot spring, the knights quickly stripped naked and dove in, fighting to be the first to soak.
“...This... isn’t sexy at all. What a sight. It’s like a bunch of bargain-hunting middle-aged women.”
I had prepared a reasonably sized bath, but I never expected nearly a hundred knights to show up all at once.
The bath was packed to the brim, with naked knights squeezed together like sardines.
“...This isn’t even remotely erotic anymore.”
It’s too soon!
It’s way too soon for it to stop being sexy!
It’s only the fourth day since opening! What’s going on?!
Let me enjoy the pervy, “Hehehe... Uhehehe... Gehehehe...” vibes a little longer!
“Ah... Ahhh~ Look! Look at my rough skin... it’s so smooth now...”
“It’s amazing... really... it really works...”
“Ahhh~ My skin... my hands... my feet... they’re so moisturized~”
The sight of a massive crowd of naked bodies crammed into the bath, joyfully wriggling around and shedding tears of happiness, with cries of “Ah~,” and “Yes~,” and “Uwaaah”...
...wasn’t a steamy, “Mufufu♥” scene of female knights bathing.
No, it looked more like a creepy ritual from a horror movie or some shady cult.
I’m so glad I made the bath big enough to fit everyone. If there hadn’t been enough space, they would’ve started fighting, yelling, “Get out! How long are you going to soak, you idiot!”
“Hey, if not everyone could fit, wouldn’t they have started fighting and earned us more Dungeon Points? You made it too big.”
Peta-chan’s opinion was completely the opposite.
“Still, how long are they going to stay in there...? Well, the longer they stay, the more points we get, so it’s fine.”
“They wouldn’t be doing this if they were fighting, right?”
“Who knows... Human desires are strange.”
By the end of the day, we had earned 3,600 points, so I decided to double the size of the bath for tomorrow.
The next day.
Even more knights arrived. Even with the expanded bath, there still weren’t enough spots, and some knights were left out.
In an instant, angry shouts erupted, and a brawl broke out.
A catfight among naked female knights...
If you just heard the words, it might sound like a steamy situation.
But honestly... it wasn’t sexy at all. It was just an ugly, chaotic mess.
“Ah, look! The Dungeon Points are skyrocketing! Fighting really is better! Go on, fight more! Hit each other! Spill blood! Kill each other! Fight... fight more!”
Once the brawling started, the Dungeon Points shot past 20,000 in no time.
“By the way, once you hit 10,000 points, it’s about time to build the second layer... normally, that is.”
“Got it. Let’s do it, then.”
While the knights were busy fighting, I pressed the button to start building the second layer, which I had already designed.
— Time until completion of the second layer: 15 hours and 44 minutes —
Oh? It’s faster than the initial setup.
That’s great. By the time the knights arrive tomorrow, the second layer should be ready.
“In the early stages, quick and frequent updates like this are crucial.”
In the beginning, it’s important to prepare in advance and press the update button at the right time.
It’s similar to updating web comics or serialized novels.
Five days after opening, the dungeon expanded to the second layer.
This broke the previous record for the fastest dungeon expansion to the second layer by over 80 days.
