“How about you cook for them? Bonding with your teammates is helpful, and these Bandit women will definitely be more amiable once you’ve made something.” Calypso had encouraged me. “Tomorrow morning, you will join them on the descent to the bottom floor. Once you reach my boss room, we will meet again. Help me defeat them, and I will officially take you on as my disciple.”
Bond with the girls? That really wasn’t a problem. However, I was sweating as I cooked. All five girls were around me as I made food over a fire. Nothing about this was abnormal, except that Calypso was watching over us, and Salicia was nearby as a guard dog. It left the entire campsite somewhat silent. Of course, that was only to Salicia and Calypso. As for me, it was extremely noisy as I tried to juggle conversations with all five women. Of course, while I could open up connections between them and me, the girls couldn’t talk to each other.

“Did you make sure to order Celeste to be quiet. She’ll definitely speak and ruin everything!” Terra’s voice came in shortly after.
I didn’t just have to juggle five conversations in my head, but I had to also pass messages between the girls that they wanted to say which would tip Calypso off if spoken out loud. While doing that, I had to cook a good meal and let none of it show on my face. Calypso seemed almost oblivious to the strange expressions and glances that the girls shared. Even so, this was really difficult for me, and I had to admit that without the Mimic job smoothing out my features and refining my acting, I would probably have already collapsed from the pressure. I was extremely thankful to whatever deity decided to randomly hand me that skill already partially leveled.
Slowly, I sorted everyone out, explaining everything, including the state of Salicia. Naturally, there was much to say about what happened, and where we would be going. As for Calypso’s plan to ultimately kill all of them, I naturally explained what we can do instead.
“Master, we need to be able to discuss a plan openly.” Terra spoke up.
“I would love to, but she is the Dungeon Master of this place. She can potentially see and hear anything. Any secret meetings we have could be easily exposed. Right now, it’s odd, but she seems to trust me. I think it might be because of my blessings. I have an affinity for miasma, which I believe is causing her to put her guard down around me.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“There is one place where we can meet.” She explained.
“Hmm? Where?” I asked a bit surprised.
“Ah? I thought Master knew? The safe room.”
Admittedly the room was safe, but Calypso could still find us there.
“About that…”
“Dungeon Master’s can’t sense in the room. Unless she’s in there with us, she won’t know what is said or done. She also won’t know if we teleport to other safe rooms until we leave.”
“In other words, once we get to level 5, we can finally make a plan!”
