Chapter 213: Chapter 213. Side Story For Fun ( Part 6. Dungeon )
Knock, knock...
Knock-knock-knock...
"Ahem, which bastard is causing trouble so early in the morning?" Myne slowly opened his heavy eyes upon hearing continuous knocking at the door. Reluctantly, he pulled his face away from Velvet's ample bosom and gently moved her soft body off him. He reached for his robe on the couch, covering his naked body before opening the door yawning and rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"Sorry for the disturbance, sir, but your booking time is over. You must vacate the room within half an hour or pay a fee if you wish to stay here longer."
Myne opened the door and was greeted by a young girl with an average look wearing a maid outfit. She seeing unhappy and sleepy Myne first apologised for waking him up and explained the reason for her visit.
"Sigh, you're lucky that I don't easily get angry with girls. If it were a guy on your spot, I might have started looking for trouble with him," Myne grumbled. He handed her five gold coins and said, "I'll book the room for today. Here are five gold coins. I'll vacate the room in the evening.
Now, don't disturb me." Myne looked at the girl not so not-so-developed chest with a disappointed look and closed the door with a loud bang.
"But, sir, it only requires two gold coins if you're staying until evening," The girl called after him in a hurry, but Myne had already closed the door.
But after not getting any response from him, The girl decided that someone as wealthy as Myne wouldn't be concerned about a few extra coins and after seeing no one heard their conversation, she put a sad look on her face as she just got scolded by someone before heading downstairs to submit the remaining payment.
"Already ten o'clock? It seems I won't have time for my morning exercises with my little kitty," Myne mused with a smile, reminiscing about the wild night with Velvet. He couldn't help but gaze lustfully at his sleeping little kitty but quickly shook his head. He left a small note and some money for Velvet to prepare for their night ahead and returned to his original room.
Sylphy was still peacefully asleep on the bed, one of the advantages of having lazy wives, even if you have some time fun secretly and come a bit late, you don't have to worry about getting caught red-handed.
Myne happily came to Sylphy, lay down beside her and after cuddling her tightly, he slowly closed his eyes and continued his remaining sleep, because of yesterday's overnight work, he hardly slept 3 hours before forcefully getting awakened by the inn staff.
...
After being rudely awakened, this time by an enthusiastic Sylphy, Myne was quickly dragged to the bathhouse. Despite his attempts to resist, Sylphy showed him some seductive techniques she had learned recently, and Myne couldn't hold back his inner beast which ended up leading to an hour of steamy bathroom activities.

Thanks to their bathroom escapade, by the time they left the room to order some food, it was already the afternoon.
"Lord Husband, let's go to the Dungeon once we finish eating," Sylphy said energetically as she hummed in a good mood.
"Sure! I'm really looking forward to it," Myne replied with a smile. He had already decided which book he would read while Sylphy honed her skills, just as Aisha had done before.
Since she wanted to experience everything Aisha had, she would be thrilled with his idea. Myne thought with a mischievous grin.
After finishing their lunch and thanking Velvet, who had already returned to her duties without showing any sign of their previous night's adventure, they headed for the Dungeon of Strength.
"Sylphy, what do you think about Velvet?" Myne asked casually as they approached the dungeon's entrance.
"She's a hardworking girl, why do you ask?" Sylphy inquired, her expression slightly concerned. Before leaving, Aisha had specifically instructed her to keep a close eye on Myne, so he wouldn't be taken advantage of by any random girls, especially halflings, in whom he is particularly very interested.
"Nothing, I was just thinking that once our clan officially starts, we'll need some people to handle regular tasks like receptionists, waitresses, cleaners, chefs, and so on. You don't expect us to do everything ourselves, right?" Myne replied jokingly.
"Of course not. We're the core of our clan, and if we start doing low-level work, how will people take us seriously and entrust us with important missions? So, are you thinking about hiring Velvet?" Sylphy quickly responded.
"Well, I was just considering it. She's efficient in her work and can handle various tasks. But let's wait until our clan officially begins before discussing it further," Myne suggested, eager to move on from the topic, as he could clearly see the doubt in Sylphy's eyes.
As they conversed, the knight at the reception desk suddenly noticed Sylphy's presence. He stared at her for a moment and after confirming that she was really the one he was thinking of, he hurriedly stood at attention in a fluster and called out to her in a loud voice.
"Your Highness Sylphid!"
Seeing the knight behaving abnormally and attracting the unwanted attention of passersby, Sylphy smiled helplessly and politely responded, "Ah, good work. You don't need to be so formal with me, you know? I'm already married and not a princess anymore. Just treat me like you treat everyone else."
Though Sylphy said that, but after seeing the look the knight was giving, she knew very well that he was not going to listen to her so easily and start treating her like a commoner no matter what she said.
"Good afternoon! Is it alright for us to enter?" Myne intervened, trying to ease the awkward situation. The knight handed them the required forms quickly, and they received metal plates as proof of their entrance. However, just as they were about to enter the dungeon, the knight stopped them.
"Your Highness, if it's alright, we would like to send a bodyguard along..."
"So this is how real rich and powerful people at the top of the kingdom are treated? This feeling is not nice. Even though I'm married to Sylphy, this guy is treating me as if I'm just air, as if I'm Sylphy's servant and not her husband.
Why am I not surprised by this blatant discrimination in broad daylight?" Myne thought to himself, adding the knight to his blacklist, just below his "Must to die" list.
"No, I appreciate it, but it's not needed. There won't be any problems with just Lord Husband and me. Thanks for your concern."
Even though Sylphy clearly rejected him with a forced smile but the knight refused to back down as he said "Please"
Their conversation continued for a while, but since it was a personal matter for Sylphy, and both of them ignored him so Myne also didn't disturb them, he idle sat down at the knight reception desk and started checking his collection under the desk, which surprise turned out quite interesting.
In the end, the knight reluctantly backed down when Sylphy lost her patience and scolded him angrily.
"Can't you see I'm on a date with Lord Husband, so why would I need a bodyguard, you idiot? And do you even know anything about my Lord Husband? He has single-handedly cleared this damn dungeon twice and has fought with a dragon. So, why the hell would I need someone else's protection with such a strong person beside me?"
As Sylphy yells at the knight whose face becomes pale as paper and literally grabs his collar to beat him, Myne finally intervenes and after gently hugging her to calm her down, both of them step into the dungeon.
Dungeon of Strength, 1st Floor.
They quickly cleared the first floor without any difficulty.
Sylphy killed the slimes that appeared along the way, Myne slowly followed her as if he was walking park while gathering "Passive-type Skills. As usual, he pasted them on pebbles and put them into Inventory.
Myne, what are you doing with those pebbles? I've seen you picking them up for a while and storing them in your inventory. Is there something special about them?"
While Myne putting the pebbles into his inventory Sylphy who killed the slime couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Oh, these? I'm temporarily transferring some useful skills I acquired from those slimes you killed."
"Hehehe, I see! Mn? Come to think of it, why do those stones look familiar? Are they the ones placed in our bathroom at home?"
She finally asks. I thought they were going to hold back curiosity some more weeks before asking about them, Myne thought and explained with a chuckle, adding a small lie to make it easier to understand how he had these skill-bearing pebbles before he acquired the Transfer Skill.
"Such skills exist?" Sylphy asked, astonished.
"Of course, they exist, you've just never seen them. Here, take this," Myne said with a laugh as he handed her a water pebble.
"It's real? Water gradually comes out from such a small pebble without stopping! Is this the so-called magic water? Until now, Aisha and I thought it was water you created with skill, but it seems we were wrong," Sylphy said, disappointed as she examined the water pebble in her hand.
After coaxing Sylphy with a deep kiss and a little more romance, they continued their adventure and ventured into the boss room.
