Chapter 208: New Adventure Member

City Orario, Dungeon, Floor 18.

Deep in the darkness, moans could be heard.

"Ah! Ah!"

Despite being loud enough to be heard, no adventurer or monster approached.

After all, the moans could only be heard within the sphere of darkness at the edge of the lake.

"Well, just a little more."

With his Sharingan spinning, Yuki traced Ais's back, pressing his fingers on her pressure points and torn muscles.

"Ah! Ah!"

With closed eyes, Ais clenched her fist; she had surrendered. After Yuki's hand passed between her legs, Ais was placed face down for a massage on her back. Due to the considerable pleasure, she began to drool and pant like an animal in heat.

Although it might seem lascivious, Yuki did it not for pleasure; he had decided to make this girl strong while also preserving her beauty. The training he underwent was for men, causing muscle tears and making them hard and compact—something Yuki didn't want for Ais.

He didn't want this girl to become more masculine than she already was; he didn't want to ruin her beauty. He carefully monitored her progress and any side effects. So, after each training session, Yuki massaged her muscles, shaping them while maintaining their flexibility and softness. That's why Ais felt like needles were attacking her when Yuki touched her muscles. But at the same time, when Yuki touched her pressure points, the pain was forgotten in pleasure, leaving Ais in orgasm.

"I guess that's it for today."

Acknowledging the good work, Yuki looked at Ais's naked and sweaty body.

(Hm... she has a good figure.)

Perhaps due to her work as an adventurer, Ais maintained an excellent figure—those curves and well-shaped chest earned Yuki's approval.

(Her skin is getting softer every day.)

Looking at the lotion in his hand, Yuki thought deeply. The first time he touched this girl, her skin was rough, emphasizing only her figure. But now, her skin was getting softer and whiter, as if she had undergone rejuvenation. Although it didn't reach Inori's level, her skin remained very good. Looking at this lotion he bought in the chat, Yuki thought it might be the reason.

"Ha~... Ha~"

On the other hand, Ais didn't want to get up; she felt very tired, and Yuki's hands' sensation still lingered. She breathed heavily, ignoring the fact that she was naked, displaying her plump buttocks.

"If you don't get up, I'll give you a couple of spanks."

"!!"

Trembling again, Ais reluctantly forced herself to stand. After all, she didn't want to experience that burning sensation on her buttocks again.

"Good!"

Assenting, Yuki snapped his fingers, and the white hands appeared again, dressing Ais in seconds as if nothing had happened. At the same time, Yuki swallowed Ais into the darkness, returning her to her family.

"It's time to go back."

Clapping his hands, Yuki also returned to his family.

"I think it's time to increase the members of our group."

"Eh?"

"The floors are getting very difficult; we need someone to cover us."

After training Ais, Yuki returned to his family, also preparing for the dungeon. But something was bothering him.

Inori had reached her limit; since they stepped on floor 45, the dungeon didn't stay idle watching them advance. It spawned monsters on a completely different scale, and the danger of these monsters increased significantly. Now, level 5 monsters could be seen, forming groups to attack, and even level 6 monsters were not rare from floor 45 onward.

Although Yuki could kill these monsters with a single sword strike, it was different for Inori and Mana. The burden on their bodies was greater than they were accustomed to.

This made Yuki consider that they needed help. Even though he could sweep through these floors with overwhelming force using his clones, he refrained. The dungeon tended to create powerful monsters whenever its chakra increased significantly, confirmed with the Juggernaut and Rex monsters.

So, in the worst-case scenario, the dungeon would create a pack of level 12 or 13 monsters, making it painful to face them with Inori by his side. Also, Yuki suspected that this powerful difficulty jump on the floors was due to when he split the waterfall on floor 27 or when he raised his chakra to the maximum when trying to intimidate Ais.

Regardless of the reason, it left several adventurers defenseless. From floor 45 onwards, only the Hestia family had the power to continue.

Even the Loki and Freya families expressed that due to the lack of high-level adventurers, those floors were considered sealed from now on. The guild also announced that any adventurer daring to touch those floors would have a tough time, and if they were unlucky enough to get stuck on those floors, the guild wouldn't move its rescue group for them, making their death inevitable.

Of course, this didn't apply to Yuki; he could jump up and down these floors. The problem was that he couldn't leave Inori behind.

"Why not update your status? I think it would be better."

Tilting her head, Hestia thought there was no need for them to force themselves with their low levels.

For her, updating their status would make them stronger, providing more opportunities against the monsters on those floors.

"No, if we did that, we'd lose quality."

As Yuki said, if they updated their status with low parameters, over time, their parameters would average out, wasting their growth potential.

Besides, just updating didn't guarantee an extra hand, like recruiting another companion.

[Is it a woman?]

Expressing her annoyance, Mana already knew where this was going.

"Well, yes."

"Is she from another family?"

The next to speak was Hestia. If Yuki increased the number of his group, Hestia thought of several women who pursued him. Of course, this didn't please her, as she hoped her family would increase in number.

"No~"

Scratching his head, Yuki smiled...

"Is she from this world, Master?"

This time it was Est, who, like the rest, was very curious about their new companion.

"I thought so, but I changed my mind."

There were many candidates to be adventure companions. Yuki had his eye on four of them, with Ais being one. However, due to her incomplete training, Yuki didn't want all his effort to go to waste.

The next one was Ryuu, the waitress. He searched for her information in Rasiel, and also harassed her for a day.

This waitress met all his criteria except one—she was too weak to venture into those floors. The same thing would happen; instead of providing support, she would create more problems for Yuki.

The next one was Chloe, and truth be told, Yuki was more than delighted to invite her. However, like Ryuu, this girl was too weak. Although she was an expert assassin in stealth and escape, facing crowds of level 5 or 6 monsters would negate her advantage, and she would be defeated by the waves of monsters.

Lastly, there was Tsubaki from the Hephasteus family, but it was a pity; this woman was too busy being a blacksmith and a captain. So, Yuki dismissed her, although he also thought she lacked the strength to face the monsters.

In the end, aside from Ais, all of them lacked the strength to confront the monsters on those floors.

"Is she a member of the chat?"

Bringing a hand to her cheek, Inori asked with doubts, as with all the questions and answers, everything pointed to the chat room.

"Yes..."

With a smile on his face, Yuki answered her question. It was time for them to meet. Besides, there were several women who owed their behinds, and Yuki wanted one of them to pay up.
