NovelEnglishThe loli… ahem… I mean the dwarf girl bid me farewell and left my room in a drunken stupor. Actually, I had ended up in the room we had technically given to Raissa. Raissa had returned to her room, only to find it occupied. She then ran to the other girls in tears, leading to the embarrassing scene. The girls slept with me and Raissa got the room with the bigger bed, making a tight situation even tighter. For a bit, I thought I was going to die buried in warm flesh, but with my healing abilities, I managed to make it through the night.
As far as the dwarf girl, I never did get her name. It was probably not important. Just a drunken mistake between two consenting adults. That’s all it was. Yup.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDespite the late-night, I managed to get up early the next morning. It took a cocktail of refresh, cure poison, and healing. It was nice being a white mage when it came to these kinds of things.
I began to dress, preparing for our trip to the dungeon. Since I had my portal abilities, I could always return here. That meant we didn’t need to carry nearly as much stuff. In the end, we packed a day’s supply into a single backpack. That backpack ended up going on my back. I was the guy, as well as the support, so I guessed that was the cost. Finally, I headed out just as the sun was rising.
The girls, particularly Shao, didn’t seem to trust me on my own anymore, so they made sure to follow me. I wasn’t doing anything improper. I was just going to the head miners house. He answered the door naked with two women on his arms. He seemed like a popular guy, even though he looked like he was dressed until I realized it was actually just body hair.
He handed me the keys and we set off for the Widow’s Dungeon. The walk was a short one, and soon we could see the dungeon entrance. As we approached, a frown started to form on my face. Where the previous day there weren’t any guards on the dungeon, now there was a small retinue of Knights. As soon as we approached, they raised their hands.
“Halt! In the name of Lord Reign, entry to this mine is prohibited.”
“I’m Viscount Deekson,” I explained, showing my proof, a small medallion with the symbol of the throne and my rank on it.

“I’m sorry, sir, Lord Reign has just launched a rescue operation into the dungeon. No one is permitted to enter.”
“I’m a noble under the direct order of the Prince, holding me up is in direct violation of the will of the throne?”
The men looked unimpressed. One even had a nasty smirk on his face.
“Sorry, your lordship. There must have been a mess up. Perhaps you should return to Alerith and get a letter from Lord Reign.”
I bit my lip irritably. I knew that they were just trying to cause me trouble. I should have opened a portal and entered the dungeon the previous night. Then I could have portaled inside with no one to stop me. Instead, I had to deal with this. I was certain that if I went to Alerith, the lord would find some way to delay me. It would be a two-hour walk each way, already wasting four hours of my time. Then, the guards would probably say I had the wrong papers, and I’d need to do it again. Well, it felt like they would use something like that. If I just attacked them outright, then Lord Reign could turn the entire city on me claiming that I was a traitor trying to impede his investigation. Since I didn’t want an army on my ass, I had no other choice but to bear it.
I grabbed Shao to keep her from sending killing intent at the guards and then turned back to the town. We’d need to come up with another option.
