Infinite Competitive Dungeon Society Chapter 175

Chapter 175. What Is Not Allowed for Her (6)

I was kicked out of the room. Realizing that Daisy Ectradion would take forever to put on her clothes by herself, Loretta chased me out so that she could help her. I was already talking to Ectradion when she didn't have anything on, so was there really a need to kick me out? I felt wronged. …Have I been too hungry for affection lately? No, I've been hungry since I was born!

Then, the door opened.

"s.h.i.+n-nim, let's go now!"

"Mm… I'm calm now."

The two of them came out. Seeing Ectradion, I became lost for words. Just one minute ago, she was only wearing a white dress s.h.i.+rt and black lace panties.

But now, she was wearing a grey blazer with gold b.u.t.tons, and a black leather mini-skirt that revealed her thighs. On her head was a sharp grey beret, and she was wearing black high-heeled shoes. Finally, black stockings wrapped around her delicate legs put the finis.h.i.+ng touch. Not even an experienced army private would be able to change so fast into his uniform.

"How did you change so fast…? Not to mention, the uniform is very… Earth-esque."

"Several worlds share similar cultures and styles, s.h.i.+n-nim. Think about all the weapons you've seen."

"My battle uniform. With my enchant skill, my equipment, I can put in. Huhu."

Ectradion was bragging about something I didn't even ask about!

"T-Then let's go, Loretta, Ectradion. I have a lot of corpses, but the best one is in my guild house."

"Call me Daisy. My last name is too long."

"Then, Daisy-ssi. You can call me s.h.i.+n."

"I don't like being formal. It's too long. Unnecessarily."

"O-Okay, then I'll just call you Daisy."

"Un."

Although Daisy yawned and followed us nonchalantly, I took it to mean that we had gotten closer. Loretta also smiled and whispered to me.

"s.h.i.+n-nim, you've gotten skilled at tricking people."

"Tricking? What do you mean?"

"Saving other worlds. You said it to gain her favor, right?"

"… Huh?"

"… Eh?"

There was a slight miscommunication with Loretta, but we returned to the guild house without much problem. When we arrived, however, we saw father and Walker drinking alcohol under a parasol.

"Father, you drink with Walker?"

"There's someone to drink with, so why wouldn't I? You want to join?"

"Don't try to gloss over this matter, Kang s.h.i.+n. Who are the girls behind you?"

Walker pointed at Loretta and Daisy with his gla.s.s of alcohol in his hand. I turned around to introduce them to each other. While Loretta had her hands together modestly, Daisy quickly ran to the boar and drake corpses decorating the garden. The two of them had gotten compressed so much that the boar was now the size of a small car, while the drake was also only about 7 meters.

"Amazing… Such perfect refinement. The master who did this, introduce me."

"You're looking at him."

"You have such profound knowledge over corpses?"

"No."

Meanwhile, Loretta was bowing to father respectfully.

"It's nice to finally meet you, Father. I'm Loretta. I got to know s.h.i.+n-nim in the dungeon. Though I'm still inexperienced, I'm supporting s.h.i.+n-nim in climbing the dungeon. I'm not too keen on Korean etiquette and may make many mistakes, but please guide me."

"Thank you for the polite greeting, Daughter. So Son, when can I see my grandkids?"

"Not any time soon! Loretta, why are you making him misunderstand?"

"Misunderstand!? He's my future father-in-law!"

Loretta declared without batting an eye. Father laughed wholeheartedly, while Walker snickered with his eyes open.

"I thought this one was the real one, but I guessed wrong, hehe. If Mastiford sees this, she's going to get angry. To think you hid a woman from your wife. You're quite good."

"I don't have a wife, Walker!"

"Hu, I'm surprised you can say that when you have such a big daughter."

"s.h.i.+n-nim, can I hear about this in more detail? So you really had a partner. Geez, I don't like it when you hide things like this, uhuhu."

"I'm scared the most when you laugh like that, Loretta…"

Really, Heaven was helping me by not letting Hwaya be here. Back then, she ignored what I was trying to say, but she must have realized I had someone in my mind. If she knew that was Loretta… Kuk. Just thinking about it made my head hurt. In terms of personality, I knew Hwaya wouldn't lose to anyone.

I called Daisy.

"So? Can you use them?"

"They're both… perfect. The boar surpa.s.sed its limit. When it becomes an undead… it might continue to grow. It's the same for the Flame Drake. Here, the corpses weren't… being stored. They were… evolving."

Daisy clasped her hands together and murmured in a dazed voice. Although her slow speech made it hard to understand what she was saying, I could tell that she liked the corpses.

"But… two isn't enough."

She drooped her shoulders. So she could show such reaction in front of corpses… Thinking rather stupid thoughts, I began to put corpses down onto the garden one by one. When I began taking out the corpses I gained from the SS rank dungeon, Insect World, Daisy's red eyes shone ominously.

"Giant… insects. Insect undead… Cool."

"Setting aside the fact that you're a necromancer, do you just like undead?"

"This rhinoceros beetle is… perfection."

She was already in pure ecstasy from looking at all the insect corpses. She wasn't paying attention to me in the slightest. I made a wry smile. Then, curious about father and Walker's reaction, I looked back at them.

Loretta was pouring alcohol into father's gla.s.s.

"How is it?"

"You can have s.h.i.+n now. Take him!"

"Thank you, Father! I will serve him well!"

"Don't give me away on your own, Father! Loretta too, don't take his words seriously."

"Tsk, what a boring son."

"I agree, Father. Ah, but s.h.i.+n-nim has many good points as well!"

They were getting along extremely well. I thought Hwaya and Father were a good pair, but it seemed Loretta was even better. I guess she didn't live 2,700 yea… 17 years for nothing. I didn't change what I was thinking because I felt a vast killing intent. Not at all!

Father finally stopped cracking jokes with Loretta and looked at Daisy. She was still buried inside the pile of corpses being elated.

"Who's she?"

"A Beyond explorer. It's hard to explain, but I want to sell her our corpses. Though it isn't now, she'll eventually join us."

"Do you really need to get our permission, Kang s.h.i.+n? What's in your inventory is yours. Even if they aren't, as long as you explain properly, no one will mind it. Though, I'm sure many of them will be unhappy that you're selling them to such a beautiful woman."

Walker added useless remarks as he snickered. It seemed he became laxer when he drank.

In any case, Father seemed to agree.

"That's better than letting the corpses rot in your inventory. You weren't planning on selling them for money anyways."

"I saved them in case we needed them."

"Wanting to help others is always admirable, Son. That's especially true if the person you're trying to help wishes to walk on her two feet. Do as you want."

"When someone owes a debt of grat.i.tude, they'll feel pressured to pay it back more than it's worth. Yup."

Most people would take things for granted and ask for even greater favors. Only a few would do as Walker said.

Daisy faced me. Her eyes sparkled.

"It's possible… with these. Thanks."

"Glad to be of help. Just know that they won't be cheap."

"Of course. But, there's something I want to ask."

She looked at me in the eyes.

"If I help you, your world… Will you save… my world?"

I widened my eyes. Although I wanted her help and was ready to accept it wholeheartedly, I didn't expect her to make the offer. Did this mean she trusted me? I collected my thoughts and answered.

"… I was expecting you to pay me later."

"I have eyes for people."

Her eyes flashed. She was undoubtedly talking about her Evil Eyes. Indeed, there were no 'eyes' like them. I nodded.

"Of course, if you help save Earth."

"Then, good."

Daisy also nodded and answered.

"Guild Revival. I'll join."

The 10th member of Revival was thus born.

[Guild 'Revival' became B rank! When challenging Event Dungeons or Event Raids, when 5 or more guild members are present, all guild members' abilities will be increased by 10%!]

"How strong are you that the guild ranked up just by you joining?"

"First guild. Not sure."

Even as she answered, she was busily walking around the mountain of corpses in the garden. Then, she stopped in front of one and seemed to fall into thought. Soon, she crushed it. It then transformed into mana and spread to all the other corpses. It seemed it was a corpses reinforcement technique for necromancers.

Just like that, she crushed a few additional corpses in poor conditions and made the other corpses abundant with mana. She hummed and made a satisfied expression. She then put her hand on the skirt's chain belt and pulled on it.

"Uwoah, what are you doing!?"

"This, my weapon. Strong and cool."

Daisy bragged needlessly. She was holding her belt… no, whip. Her skirt didn't fall. The whip wasn't actually tightening her skirt like a belt. While I let out a sigh of relief, Loretta grinned.

"Disappointed, s.h.i.+n-nim?"

"You can ask after you put down those fingers you're pointing at my eyes."

"This, and this."

While Loretta and I were glaring at each other, Daisy continued to work. Every time she swung her chain whip, the monster corpses filling up the garden began to twitch. It was a truly horrifying sight. Even so, it mysteriously drew people's attention. Daisy's mana continued to spread across the garden, and in the end, captured all the corpses perfectly.

The corpses… rather, the undead were lining up in front of her. We all watched her in awe.

"If they all attacked together, it'd be difficult to deal with them."

"Necromancers are… amazing…"

"Really… Not to mention, such a beautiful girl is commanding this army of corpses."

"Is it an enemy? Do I kill her?"

"Uuu, there are two new beauties."

"I can't see! Daddy, hold me up!"

As Ina was fretting, I held her up to let her see more easily. But Ina, you can fly… Eh?

"When did you come!?"

"Just now. Walker sent us a report. So? Can I get an explanation, Ina's Daddy?"

"Can you not address me in ways that would cause misunderstandings!?"

"… Oh?"

The horn was sounding for war! Not against the army of corpses, but it was here and now!
