Volume 12 Chapter 4 Part 8

After all, she has four other people as examples, so as long as she tries to imitate what she sees from them, her own technique is bound to improve sooner or later.

Or rather, it would be pretty strange if it didn’t happen at all.

In such situations, being selfish and passive is unacceptable.

Reading the air in the room is pretty important. That’s right, reading the air properly, all the more so since it’s always been that people were able to grow up and develop by looking at the other people around them and imitating the things that they were doing in the same way.

「Alright, let’s put on our equipment and go to the Labyrinth now, shall we? 」

「Yes, that’s right. 」

Just like usual, I took out the equipment from the Item Box and distributed it to everyone.

Finally, it was time to also give Rutina her equipment, along with the Body Clip.

「Rutina, come over here. 」

I removed it for her before we went to bed yesterday, since it would be pretty difficult for her to sleep while still having it on, and I want her to know that I am a kind master who won’t force her to wear something that’s uncomfortable to wear just because it is an effective piece of gear.

Yeah, I am doing that for her because I am kind.

Not at all because I want to hear her moans every time when I am going to be taking it off and putting it on for her again.

I hardly even thought about it.

I am not thinking about it at all.
Not at all.

Maybe a little.

Just a little.

Just a bit.

Just a teeny tiny little miniscule bit.

Just that, nothing more.

「Nhh…! 」

But still, hearing her moan like that whenever I’m going to be putting the Body Clip on for her is never gonna grow old on me since it sounds so nice in my ears.

In that case, is it okay if it is just going to be for a little bit?

「I want you to continue wearing this piece of equipment from now on in order to maximize its effectiveness. 」

「…..Yes. I will be sure to do that… Nhhhhh…. 」

It’s nice to know that this Body Clip has two clips at the end of the chains: one for the peak of every mountain on a woman’s body. That being said… I wonder why there are two clips, but not three of them, since, you know, girls have one more peak this could be put on.

Well, it’s probably because in the end this is still a piece of equipment meant to be worn in the Labyrinth, so the third one would probably just be getting in the way.

Rutina is going to be wearing it while in the Labyrinth, and then I will be removing it for her before we’re going to be taking the bath, since it would be a problem if it got rusty after being soaked in the bathwater for too long.
A rusty piece of equipment that can no longer be put to use is the last thing that we want to have in our inventory after all.

So like I said, I will be removing it for Rutina before the bath, and I will put it on her again after finishing the bath.

It needs to be done as such because I need it.

It is absolutely necessary.

Hehehe, talk about a perfect cycle.

Is this going to be one of those cases where setting up a routine like that is going to be beneficial for us in the long run?

「There, should be perfect now. How is it? 」

「Yes. Uhm… no, actually, nevermind. 」

It must be comfortable to wear it.

It feels good to wear it.

But if there’s ever going to be a problem, then I can always take it off and put it back on properly for her.

The perfect preparation of such items is always important, so I want her to tell me anytime if there’s something that’s going to be wrong with it.

「So, if I remember correctly, we’re going to be starting the climb from the 10th floor today, right? 」

I then warped us directly to The Labyrinth Behind Nesco.

There is no need for us to be showing our faces to the Explorer at the entrance to the Labyrinth after going up every single floor, and since it is still relatively early in the morning, then there is a high chance that the guy might not even be there this early in the first place.

But even if he was there already, he should have entered the Labyrinth before he took the position, because otherwise it would be impossible to enter the Labyrinth if it were to be subjugated. But this is not a problem for us, and moreover, it cannot be helped.

Well, if we continue doing this every day, the we will always come here early in the morning, meaning that we might not bump into the guy even once, but that is how we usually operate and I’m not going to change that now, even if it means that one day we might miss the moment of the subjugation of the Labyrinth.

However, strongly believe that if this Labyrinth is going to be subjugated, then it will probably not happen at such a pinpoint early hour in the morning. And on the off chance that the subjugation of the Labyrinth does happen early in the morning, I will have a perfect, foolproof excuse ready: an excuse that I have overslept just on that particular day.

「If memory serves me correctly, then on the 10th floor we are supposed to go straight way into the back of the floor and then turn right. 」

「Okay. This way then. 」

「Guide us, Roxanne. How are you feeling, Rutina? Are you okay? 」

「Y-Yes, everything’s fine. 」

It seems that Rutina doesn’t have any problems, even though she is wearing the Body Clip while in the Labyrinth.

We then follow Sherry’s information and proceed in accordance with the strategy information, leaving the Labyrinth before breakfast.

When I went out of The Labyrinth Behind Nesco, the Explorer of the clan was properly standing near the entrance, meaning that I was right about him not being there before since it was too early in the morning.

It’s good that he’s here. If he wasn’t, then we would have a bad time.

「Ah. Thank you for your hand work. It would seem that you entered the Labyrinth before I came and took post in the morning, right? 」

「The name’s Michio. And yes, it would seem so. 」

I affirm the Explorer’s words while showing him the emblem that I have received from Elder Cassandra.

When we came here in the morning, there was no one at the post, and since the Explorer didn’t meet us earlier, then he cannot be sure which one of us came here earlier than the other, and neither of these possibilities can be ruled out, as nothing has been confirmed.

Talk about a real case of Schrödinger’s Cat, except I know that I am not lying, and that we were the first ones here.

「I understand. Then I will record that you have entered the Labyrinth in the early morning. And if I remember correctly, then you were also in the Labyrinth until pretty late into the night yesterday as well. You certainly seem to be working hard. 」

「Umu. Now if you’ll excuse us, we will go grab a bite to eat and then we will come back. 」

Well, as long as he us going to properly record that we have been in the Labyrinth since early morning until breakfast time, then there shouldn’t be any problems with it.

After we finished eating breakfast, I once again told my name to the Explorer at the front entrance and entered the Labyrinth once more.

After going in and out like that, I returned back to Quratar’s Adventurers Guild by warping there directly from the Labyrinth in the evening.

It’s yet another example of a perfect cycle.

Make sure to report it to Elder Cassandra if you want.

On the next morning we did essentially the same thing as well: I warped us from our house directly to The Labyrinth Behind Nesco, and we only went out of it to get ourselves recorded when it was time to go back and have breakfast.

「Thank you for your hard work. I was here earlier today this morning when it was still dark, and yet I didn’t see you enter the Labyrinth, so you probably came in today even earlier than yesterday, huh? 」

Are you doubting me? Or perhaps you’re trying to set up a trap for me?
