The morning of the third day in the outside world’s time.
When I open my eyes, my vision is a unicolor of skin-color.
The second floor of the main building of the interception base is used as the living area.
The shape is that of a circular tower, so it’s divided into three ginkgo-shaped rooms.
Basically, it’s one room for me and Seiichi, one room for Shizuka and the others (plus Otoha-senpai), and one room for Mikan-senpai and the others.
Well, currently, our room has turned into a room for the Seiichi and Mai couple, while I do a rotation between the other two rooms on a daily basis like a wandering gypsy.
It feels like life at Asagi-sou has been adapted as is.
The temperature is quite hot, so everyone is asleep in an unbecoming manner, remaining naked.
The most spoiled of the group, Hoodzuki-senpai, is hugging my arms, so I’m sticky with her night sweats.
The bountiful chest of Touka-senpai, who’s hugging my lower body, is perfectly wrapped around my dick that’s having a morning wood.
「Fwah
 Good morning. I suppose you’re so full of energy from early in the morning. Touma-kun.」
「I believe this is a misunderstanding.」
「Good morning. Lewd Touma-kun.」
Following Rinko-senpai, who is sitting cross-legged on the trampoline hammock bed, I receive a chain attack from Mikan-senpai, who has apparently gone to take a morning bath.
Looking around, it seems that a number of Senpai sirs have already woken up.
Kurumi-senpai and Meiron-senpai are already preparing breakfast, Akehi-senpai is watering the field, and Anzu-senpai is probably continuing last night’s work.
The only ones still in bed are the sleepyheads group who are weak in the morning.
「Then, I suppose I’ll go take a bath too. Keep it in moderation, okay, Touma-kun? Everyone is getting to work, after all.」
「No, I should get going too.」
A good morning deep kiss attack from Hoodzuki-senpai, who wakes up her body with sleepy eyes.
In a combo attack, tits job oral with Touka-senpai’s huge boobs intercepts me.
Locking my arm, Ichiko-senpai launches a bombardment of soft and squishy mass.
It seems that everyone has ended up waking up.
「Geez. Even though I’ve just taken the trouble to take a bath~.」
「Now, now, I suppose it would be better to lightly let him off as is.」
◇ ◇ ◇
The members of Black Honey went on a dungeon conquest first thing in the morning.
Such diligence that’s hard to believe that it’s Doggy-senpai’s club.

 As expected, I wonder if Doggy-senpai is being shunned.
Bringing Rinko-senpai’s bubbly juice, I think I’m going to go and listen to her complain tonight.
「Err, you see. We’d like to try examining the materials we picked up yesterday for a bit.」
「Right. Maybe we can find out something, I suppose.」
As such, Mikan-senpai and the others are all house-sitting.
What action should we take, I wonder?
「Let’s go to the dungeon!」
「She’s right. Everything lies actual combat.」
「We’ll search for treasure on the second stratum today.」
As usual, they’re such a going my way bunch.
Well, unlike the Senpais, there is basically nothing to do for us who can do nothing but fight.
Moreover, the monsters in the dungeon are pretty challenging.
I have no objection to carrying out dungeon conquest, plus treasure hunting as well as materials collection while we’re at it.
Me, Shizuka, Saki, Miharu, Natsumi, Otoha-senpai, Seiichi and Mai.
Receiving bentos from Kurumi, we dive into the Demon Face Cave.
Thinking about it, I guess it’s been a peaceful raid quest up to this moment.
Making our way to the second stratum of the dungeon, we proceed to smoothly conquer it as we are.
The shortest route to the stratum gate, which the Black Honey Club has cleaned, is easy to tell since there are some strange talismans stuck on the floor.
Otoha-senpai explained to us with a smug look on her face, but these seem to be a tool to dissipate the miasma or rather to lower its concentration, thus ultimately creating an air that makes it harder for monsters to get close.
They are consumable items sold in the purchasing department, and not only is the effect dependent on the miasma pressure on the stratum, it seems to only last for about three days.
The monster repellent effect is by no means absolute either, but fortunately we made it to the stratum gate without engaging in any unnecessary battle.
As we compare the map of the second stratum with Natsumi’s Atlas, we find that as expected new areas that differ from the known map have been created.
The monsters we encounter are not much different from the first stratum, and we explore the unknown area while steadily trampling them down.
「
 Err, what’s, with this place?」
What awaits us at the end of the limestone cave-like corridor is, how should I put it, an open field.
Unlike the miasma-reactive faint light that illuminates the inside of the dungeon, the light source, which is as if we were in a daytime meadow, is mysterious.
「Another miss, huh.」
「No. the same goes for the underground lake above, but it’s a little unnatural, isn’t it?」
「You’re, right. Looks like it’d be better to think that this has some kind of meaning.」
Yesterday, a mysterious monster fish attacked Mikan-senpai, and as expected, a mysterious monster bird attacked us this time as well.
「Dragon claws!」
Otoha-senpai’s harpoon, which draws a semicircle as the tip is struck upward, gives rise to a high-pitched metallic sound as it repels the claw.
It’s not as big as a plasma thunderbird, but it boasts a size that’s about as large as a soccer goal.
In the Interface, the name is『Brilliance of Awe』.
It’s a bird overflowing with profoundness.
I can’t see its level.
Or rather, the classification is not monster, but『Item: Armor』.
By any chance, I wonder if the fish from yesterday had a name too.
「Hmph. To challenge me to a dogfight, you’re a hundred years too early!」
「What the heck are you talking about?」
Seiichi is holding his temples as he throws a calm retort at Mai, who’s holding up her staff.
「Ah, Mai-chan, that’s not fair!」
「Flying is not fair~」
「Ehehe, this one’s my prey. Grapeshot!」
Like grape bullets that were shot from a cannon, the magic balls that had converged at the tip of the staff split and were fired.
The monster bird flaps its wings to avoid them grandly, but it is unable to avoid the magic balls, which draw a trajectory like a homing laser.
Mai, brandishing her staff like a javelin thrower, grins at the monster bird as it comes crashing down with a high-pitched shriek.
「Here we go, new special move
. Dango Ballistic Missile!」
Three magic balls are generated, as if pierced with a skewer.
The staff, thrown as it is, pierces the monster bird with a tremendous acceleration that seems to pierce the air, and explodes like a firework.
「Tamaya~.」
「Kagiya~.」
「The tip is the piercing bullet, the middle is the exploding bullet, and the ball on the butt is the rocket engine. This is my special move, the triple activation magic bullet!」
It certainly looks like a special move.
Mainly the part where it seems impossible to fire a second shot.
The monster bird falls with a hole in its belly, but it appears that Mai’s staff is also broken to pieces along with it.
「A special move
 Not bad, Mai-chan.」
「S, so cool!」
「When did you train on such a move
.」
At any rate, when I try to collect the monster bird that looks like it can be used to make karaage, it ends up disappearing as if it were melting into the air.
It’s a process I’m used to seeing in the normal dungeon, but it vanishes without leaving behind crystal or anything else.
How should I put it, it’s kind of foreboding.
「Touma-san, is something the matter?」
「Nothing
」
I guess it’s no use worrying about something that can’t be answered.
「But still, you see
 We can’t find any treasure at all. Given things, wouldn’t the normal dungeon be better?」
「It can’t be helped, can it? The areas up to the fourth stratums have been conquered, after all. If there are any treasures left, I guess they’ll be on the fifth stratum onward.」
「Isn’t that not fair?」
「To begin with, it was Black Honey who received the quest, while we are nothing but a bonus, duh.」
Seiichi soothes Mai, who turns her mouth into like that of a duck’s.
「Though, it’s been decided that some of the items that Black Honey acquire will be given to us, so
.」
When did things turn into such a matter, I wonder?
It seems to be a request from the Black Honey Club.
It appears to be a trade where in exchange for the items they acquire in the dungeon, they want the cool cloak we are wearing.
「Ah, yeah. It’s got great fire resistance after all, right. Things like salamander’s breath, they all visibly diminish in the face of it.」
Making her cloak flutter, Otoha-senpai, whose cloak matches with her original armor, is overflowing with knightly air.
It seems to be what Anzu-senpai had been working hard at night to make.
It seems that Mikan-senpai was all like「Then, we’ll make some for you」, but it appears that Rinko-senpai and Shizuka had negotiated and finalized it.
「But as expected, you see
 Treasures are something you obtain yourself, right.」
「It’s not that I don’t understand your feeling, but
 It’s about lunch time already, what to do? Shall we continue to explore?」
「Let’s eat our bento and go to the lower stratum~.」
「Agreed. It’s still a little unsatisfying, right.」
The stratum itself is not that big.
On the level that if not for the fight against monsters, you can explore the entire floor in about an hour.
「Touma-san, what do you want to do?」
In the cases where our party takes a majority vote, Shizuka, Miharu and Natsumi hold the stance of agreeing with my opinion, so there are many cases where it ends up becoming the decision as is.
「Let’s go to the third stratum. But first.」
We just happen to be on an open field, so let’s enjoy the bento that Kurumi-senpai made for us.
I hope it’s not a tomato festival.
