Veronica wrenched her mace from the carcass of the rge beatle in front of her.

  "E, gross... why did it have to be bugs of all things?" Cassidy piurning her head away.

  Veronica checked her status, to see how much more small things she'd o kill.

  Level 1: EXP To Level 2 (50/1,000)

  "Only fifty? That's... two experience per." Veronica muttered. "We're gonna be here forever..." She sighed, drooping her shoulders.

  "That's why we've gotten multiple days worth of food. As I said, we aren't leaving until all of you get at least one level." Tisha added, watg the girls just far enough to not gravitate attention from the monsters.

  "So then...!" Aviris started, thrusting a shortsword into the hard chitin of a monster. "I guess we talk about our csses more. We never did tell each other what our Spirits were or anything." Aviris suggested, wiping the sweat off of her forehead.

  "Sixty four... That's an excellent idea! It'll help us pass the time ao know each other better." Eleanreed.

  "Well, since we're talking about Spirits, let's start with Ver! You haven't revealed much about you css other than it being lewd. Tell us more!" Cassidy teased.

  "I-It's embarrassing! And I don't want it to ge how any of you feel about me, a-and--" Veronica stuttered and stumbled on her words.

  "Veronica, it's fine. You didn't choose your Spirit. None of us did. And, I swear, as a member of the Kanhaeople, that your Spirit won't ge what I think about you." Aviris stated, reassuring Veronica.

  "And I, too. After all, you chose to e here and work your Spirit up. One way or another, something like this was bound to happen. So, whether you mean it or not, your Spirit's lewdness will eventually level. And, preferably, with people you trust." Eleanora added.

  "I- Fine. Where to start... my css' name is 'Infernal Knight', not to mention that the self is evolvable. So, I assume that the name will ge every now and then when I level."

  "That's... a really cool name. A sounds a bit... childish?" Aviris ented.

  "I didn't choose the name... is... abilities I guess. I'll try to get through them quickly. The first one is ander's Body, every time I oevel it, it ges my body, like my height, general shape, etc... The current challenge requires me to... Um... Give or recieve or stimution from three people..."

  'I should probably hide Lilith, for now anyways. Maybe ter.'

  "You o... have oral sex with people to upgrade it?" Eleanora asked, cheeks ever so slightly red, but clearly more curious than anything else.

  "Y-Yes. This seems like it'll be a.... regur occurrenext in the list is Light on Master, by the looks of it, any on that be sidered one handed, I think, be used with ease, as well as letting my partners handle... ugh... 'rger iions'." As Veronica mumbled "rger iions", the girls, Tisha included, covered their mouth is embarrassment.

  "It currently requires me to defeat fifty oppos with a mace. And, thanks to our work here, it's already half way there. And, stly, for now... is Charm. I already upgraded it once by pleting a challehat I have no clue how it was done, but it was. And, I might have actally used it on someone..."

  "Actally?" Cassidy asked, with some anger in her voice.

  "Yes. At least, I assume. Currently, it allows me to, and I quote, 'easily influehers by showing off my breasts', and the upgrade allows me to actually trol it. However..." She trailed, not really wanting to say it. "I'll o 'y with someoively older than me'. It's... not very specific."

  Tisha made eyes with Veronica, her breathing quiing a little before turning her head away. She took a few steps away, to look out for any dahe group couldn't handle.

  "I'll say. I'm older than you by three months. Does that t as retively? How about Elly, who's two years older than us?" Cassidy wondered.

  "I-I don't know. And why are ying her up? I'm sure Elly wouldn't agree to-"

  "I think I speak for myself. I said it once, and I'll say it again, I'll help in any way I . But, if anything happens, I expect you to take responsibility." Eleanora said nontly, as if it were nothing.

  Veronica was taken aback, her face grew a deep, cherry red.

  "Alright, one more before we take a break and nap? Who wants to go ?" Aviris asked.

  "Guess I . I don't have nearly as much goodies as Ver though." Cassidy agreed to go , and st for the moment.

  "Witch of the Void. From what I tell, it's supposed to be a magic css that cast a lot of heavy spells. I've got a lot of magid from my practice, I practically tear through low rank armor as if it were paper." She procimed, posing proudly. "I only have two abilities right now though. Void Mistress, I gain more and more spells that ect to the endless void, with earlier spells costing less magic power to use."

  "That's pretty good for a damaging caster. Cheap spells reted to a void. Actually, no, not good. It's extremely powerful!" Eleanora added.

  "Well, it's not upgraded yet. The challenge is pretty vague. It wants me to experiehe void. I doly know what that means. I'm sure I'll figure it our soon though."

  "That is very, awfully vague. More vague than 'y with someoively older'." Aviris chimed in.

  "Hey!" Veronica responded, not knowing how to respond.

  "Haha! Anyways, I'm sure I figure it out. So, the sed one is just simply Destruagic. It's a on ability for Offenceive Mages. The more skilled I get at basic offensive spells, the higher tier spells I use, and the quicker I cast them. Ugh, even tless casting is slow... basic challenge, simir to Ver's 'Light on Master'. Just defeat oppos with it. And that's all. Not as... odd as Ver's. Or iing."

  "I thought it was cool, Cass." Veronica said, looking at her with eyes filled with pity.

  "Give me that look again and I swear clothes will be a suggestion when I'm doh you."

  Aviris ughed as Eleanora looked a bit fused.

  "Wait... are you two together?" The princess asked, seeing how open Cassidy was about talking about having sexual as with Veronica.

  "No, not officially. We're childhood friends. And I want to help her grow in power. That's why I scouted you two." Cassidy answered quickly.

  "Girls, if you want to take a break, now's the time. I'll keep watch for now." Tisha yelled, a small ways away.

  "Right!" The girls yelled ba unison, walked over to the makeshift camp.

  "Guess we'll tinue when we rest up. Let's eat and take a quiap." Aviris said.

  And, after a snack, the girls set up their packs like pillows and id down on the hard dungeon floor and shut their eyes. The hero tureacher watg over them.

  "Let's hope this doesn't bee a habit..." Tisha spoke to herself, looking at the snoozing team.
