Novel Full Chapter 649: It's That Kind Of Dungeon
As Mary had instructed, I summoned enough Shadow Guards to replace the members of my party including myself and Emilia and had them transform into them as well before putting on the maid uniforms.
It felt a little weird to see Eins and the others standing in front of me with the looks of Katsuki, Odeta, Lisa, Delmare and Emilia. I instinctively knew that they were not the real ones because of my connection with my Shadow Guards but it did not make it any less weird.
Especially when they were calling me “Master” instead of “Mistress” and that they had this empty and far off look in their eyes while staring at me.
On another note, Eins would be taking my place but I decided to just leave her as she is instead of getting her to transform into me.
I decided not to think too much about it and went to the entrance of the Dungeon, ignoring the stares of the other Dungeoneers who I assume were just curious about why a group of maids were going Dungeon diving.
We went down the stairs and entered the first floor of the Dungeon which just so happened to be a boss room.
There was already a queue of people outside the room waiting to enter which kind of explained why there were so many people waiting outside.
When we lined up at the back, pretty much all of them turned to look at our group, most of them in surprise.
I thought they were just surprised to see a group of maids queuing up to fight a Dungeon boss but then they started whispering amongst themselves.
“Are they… Seriously diving in this Dungeon?”
“Must be sluts…”
“Just look at what they’re wearing… Definitely sluts…”
“Hey… You wanna try asking?”
“Nah, we can find them in the Dungeon later.”
“I don’t want to be second though.”
What the hell are these guys talking about? IS it because we’re wearing maid uniforms they thought we were some cosplaying fetishists or something?
Whatever, it’s not like they will recognise us anyway.
I settled down to wait for our turn to fight the boss monster, right as another party came down the stairs to join the queue at the back.
Similarly, they were just as surprised as the ones ahead of us when they saw us for some reason.
Their leader was looking at each of us in turn and his party members were whispering to each other in hushed tones before he stepped towards us.
“Hey… Err… Excuse me?” He called out.
I turned to him while Eins and the rest ignored him completely.
“What is it?” I asked.
He focused on me, “Are you… Really planning to go into the Dungeon?”
“Yes. Why?”
“Are you… Err… Prepared?”
“Of course? This isn’t my first Dungeon.”
He looked at me up and down before nodding his head, “I see… Sorry for being nosy then…”
I frowned, “I don’t get it. What’s different about this Dungeon? We were getting weird comments from others and even some seem to be calling us sluts.”
His eyes widened, “Wait… You don’t know? How… How did you know about this Dungeon then?”
“Erm… Someone introduced this place to us.”
“Oh… Well… Then err… Could I ask if you girls are… Well… Sexually active?”
… That is a very odd question to ask but I assume he was asking this because it was related to the Dungeon.
“I guess you could say we are?” I admitted.
I mean… Not with my Shadow Guards but definitely with Lisa and Delmare since we basically slept together almost every day or at least every other day.
He grimaced, “Right… Then I guess maybe they weren’t exactly wrong in asking you to come here… Do you know about this Dungeon’s specialties?”
“Do enlighten me, please.”
“Err… Do you notice there’s no other females here?”
I jolted and looked around.
Sure enough, everyone else aside from our party was a male or at least distinctly a male. I don’t even see anyone who might be a futa.
I turned back to him, “But we’re futas… Does that make a difference?”
He shook his head, “Oh no… It’s just anyone with a vagina that is the problem.
The monsters here specifically are unkind to people with that… And by that, I mean they will try to rape you and your party… But for males, they aren’t that big of a problem aside from some annoyances… So if you don’t want to get raped by monsters and aren’t one of those people who has a fetish for them, I would recommend you to get out of here.”
Huh…
Funny he should say that since I literally came from a place where there were several people literally having sex with monsters and buying monster slaves too…
I gave him a look, “But the rape will only happen if we get defeated by the monster, right?”
He made a face at me, “I… Suppose? Yes.”
“And what rank is this Dungeon?”
“D rank.”
“And could a D ranked party of futas clear this Dungeon easily?”
“Erm… I can’t say for sure but I personally don’t think it’s that hard I guess? So as long as you’re careful, it should be fine?”
He kind of worded it as a question since it was clear he wasn’t that sure and didn’t want me to blame him if we got obliterated later.
Oh well… If anything happens, we should be able to use our Somatomancy to transform ourselves into males to counter the problem.
So I suppose it should be fine.
“I see. Thank you for the information.”
I dug into my Pack of Folding and took out a small bronze coin to pass it to him.
He gaped, “Oh no, no, no. Please, there is no need for this. What I just told you is merely common knowledge here, there’s no need for payment!”
“And yet you chose to tell me instead of keeping quiet like the others here. Had you not told me about it, I would have gone in unprepared. So thank you.”
He looked at the coin and back to me, realising that I was not going to accept no as an answer.
He thanked me for the coin and took it from me before returning to his party, the guys clapping him on his shoulder and back when he returned.
That was when one of his party members turned to me and waved, “Hey lady. Just wanna add something.”
I nodded at him to go ahead.
He got a little closer and lowered his voice so the other parties couldn’t hear him.
“Just saying… It’s not just monsters you have to worry about in there. You see, most female parties would only come here because they are either people who wanna get fucked by monsters or they just wanna get fucked. Most other Dungeoneers would naturally assume that’s the case with your party as well and…”
“And they might also try and rape me too. Got it, thanks.”
He nodded and gave me a distinct look so I took out a small bronze coin for him as well which he happily took and ran back to his party while they welcomed him back with a mixture of cheers and jeers.
Such a shame that my party isn’t capable of being that boisterous…
Wait, no… They would definitely be capable of doing it but they would look quite dead while doing it.
There, you can put your hands away now. Eins, I know you heard everything so no need to clap, thank you.
Hmm… Now I need to do some planning…
The line seemed to be moving relatively fast so I estimated that it would be our turn in another fifteen minutes or so since each party barely spent two minutes inside before the doors opened to allow the next party in.
I also used [Screened] on the others around the waiting room and most of them had stats around a hundred to two hundred range so I would say that we should be safe.
And if the monsters have something that specifically weakens people with female parts, I’ll have everyone transform into males and proceed with the Dungeon.
The question was… Who should we transform into?
I suppose Sebastian was one choice but I wasn’t really that close to any of our male servants since there seemed to be a hidden rule that only maids could serve me directly in the mansion.
Hmm… I guess I could also transform into that self proclaimed hero guy and the self proclaimed harem king guy too, so that makes three.
Then there’s… Err… Oh wow… I don’t really know a lot of guys do I?
Hmmm… Maybe my classmates will do? Yeah, just make use of Lucas, Henri, Jules and Paul. That would be enough I guess.
Since this was just a physical transformation, my Shadow Guards would still have their abilities and they could just occupy their normal positions in the party so no need to worry about that.
Alright, this sounds like a solid plan to me, guess I’ll just have to wait and see who the first Dungeon boss of the first floor is!
