1.99 Lucky Player

Masaru was almost exhausted. The blows one after another were something he could do with ease, but years of sitting in an office chair had gradually caused him to lose his fitness and stamina. He decided to return, but along the way, he took the opportunity to kill a few more monsters. He wanted to increase the guild’s cash reserves as soon as possible.

Kaede began counting the crystals. If the guild were to pay for all the drops, it would amount to more than one thousand gold coins. However, that was the amount the guild would pay. When reselling them, the guild would receive around one thousand five hundred gold coins, giving them a profit of five hundred gold coins. But since he was going to sell them to Himura, he would get approximately one thousand two hundred gold coins and pay fifty to the dealer.

He decided to sell all the drops and return the next day to collect the drops he would give to his daughter and her group.

Hayato was drinking tea while trying to forget his mother’s moans.

Shirakawa Ren entered the room and sat down on one of the sofas.

"Your brother is much more resilient than any of us imagined."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Aino and I tested his strength without meaning to. We used that item on one of the guild’s floors, just as we were instructed. He and his team stayed there, and after some time, they came out. They were only tired, without a single injury."

Hayato drank some tea. He said nothing else.

"You know what this means, don’t you?"

"I do. My brother probably possesses combat abilities."

"What will you do about it?"

"For now, nothing. We’ll just continue with the plans. We were only paid to destroy this guild."

At the guild, Masaru was watching Kaede. The way she sat caught his attention. He liked women wearing skirts sitting in front of him. He watched the movements of crossed legs and others. Seeing a woman’s panties when she moved her legs was something he could not resist. It was much more beautiful than a naked woman or one showing herself in an exaggerated way. Small careless movements were what he liked. Kaede knew this, and since he paid well and provided many benefits, she made those movements for him to watch. He did not know they were intentional. If he knew, he would lose all the magic.

He also liked taking advantage of the situation. Like a good man, he loved when she bent down, allowing him to see the heart shape of her butt when she bent over. Besides that, getting closer and feeling her breasts touch his arm. Even the use of controlled force. All the good moments were planned by her. Even the panties she wore were the color he liked, as were the type of panties and even the way she forgot her panties when she showered in his bathroom.

She was much smarter than he knew, and with all that effort, she received twice as much as any receptionist in any guild throughout the Empire.

Mio sometimes looked at the guild’s accounts. She did not know what a receptionist’s normal salary was, so she never questioned the amounts paid or the benefits Masaru provided.

His cock was hard. He stood up and approached Kaede. Gently, he made his penis even harder and filled with more desire. He controlled himself. He wanted to squeeze her neck and then use his strength to cause pleasure to that pussy he knew was wet. But he preferred only those small movements.

"I’ll return to the dungeon," he said excitedly.

"What the fuck was that?" Mio asked.

"You never noticed?"

"I knew my father was a little perverted, but not to this extent."

"One secret, all men are like this. Your father is just less careful."

"But that’s literally harassment."

"Yes and no. I mean, if I hadn’t known about it beforehand and hadn’t agreed to it, it would be harassment. But since I allow it, it isn’t. It’s just something that’s part of the job," Kaede explained.

"But if that’s how it is, why did you spread those rumors about Haru being a pervert?"

"It wasn’t just me, and they’re not rumors. You’ve seen it yourself, haven’t you? His looks."

"But it’s the same thing."

"But he doesn’t pay my salary. If he gave me a present, I’d even let him touch my breasts if he wanted. Everything involves benefits. One day you’ll understand that."

Haru and Hina arrived. Mio was waiting for them in the cafeteria. They went straight to the eighth floor. Haru used the shotgun along the way while Mio collected the drops. They stood in front of the ninth floor and entered carefully. The ninth floor looked a lot like the first one. Even the meat slimes were similar to normal slimes, except that they were a little disgusting and looked like large tumors. The meat was worth little, while the crystal was worth one silver coin and seventy-five copper coins. The more troublesome ones were the bats. There were many of them, they moved very quickly, and their attacks could cause dizziness.

For Haru, the fact that these monsters could fly was not necessarily a problem. With firearms, all of this was just a detail. However, the bats moved faster than he could shoot with the shotgun. Even with this weapon, the damage was still not very effective. It took two shots to kill the bats, while it took three shots with the pistol. He switched weapons, not because of the ammunition savings, but because the shots were faster. Hina used a skill to make him and Mio faster. Mio was responsible for killing the meat slimes, while Haru was responsible for killing the bats.

He used the ODD 2.0 skill to compensate for the ammunition expenditure. Each meat slime crystal generated 2,505 bullets. And that was equivalent to the normal slime crystal, based on the selling value. But bat crystals, which were worth seventy-five more copper coins, yielded only 2,400 bullets. It was more worthwhile to use ordinary slime and meat slime crystals.
