"Thanks for agreeing to help me today, Diana" [Tio].

"Don't worry, it's not often that the three of us are together" [Diana]

"Adnan, did you bring it?" [Tio]

"Sure did. This new mapping device, right?" [Adnan]

"Perfect. I heard that this new dungeon that Diana discovered dropped some good clothes, so if I can get my silkworm to eat it, it will produce an even better silk, which will surely help me and my family" [Tio].

"That's clever!" [Diana]

"Have to think outside the box to help our family" [Tio]

"Our? You mean Adnan's family too?" [Diana]

"That's right" [Tio]

"You are really close to each other" [Diana].

"It's only natural since Tio and I have known each other literally since we were babies" [Adnan].

Here we are, at the dungeon entrance, getting ready to enter the dungeon. Adnan and Tio had already gotten the necessary permission to enter the dungeon, and as for me, since I am the one who discovered it, I get a lifetime pass to enter and exit whenever I want. Very convenient. I have Auntie Amleth to thank for that.

"Sigh, there's the ruckus again" 

"A B-rank adventure from Gastrium is causing a ruckus... Doesn't he know he's lucky to have come this far and still be alive?

"He's even yelling at Randy the Berserker, that's some gut"

"Although that's probably because he's still under the terrible effects of the mirage mana.

I guess the fake boss, the Jester Bone, is really difficult. I am not sure how strong it is, but since Khamisah, Nar, Sas, and Dana can defeat it individually, we thought it would be good for a boss. Sure, they're strong, but it's also unacceptable to weaken the Jester Bone. 

It's surrounded by several other monsters that all worship it at the same time. It has easily adapted to the dungeon, using its characteristics to its advantage. From its very nature as a curse that causes others to worship it, to its use of mirages to amplify the effect. He used the monstrous puppet and dolls in the dungeon to be in the boss room to make things more difficult. The tiles that were replicated all have different spells, so no two tiles are the same. I think when The Hanging Treant said it was overkill, it really is. I think only Randy and The Special Knight Captain, Me Arthur had defeated it.

(Still, this jester bone is a fun monster to play with. The doll and I really enjoy playing with it, and I can sense that it feels the same way. I'm glad) [Diana]

While we were wandering around aimlessly in the dungeon, Tio finally came across a treasure chest. That's good, but it's guarded by a skeleton and a ghoul. Tio and Adnan get ready to fight and as for me, I just look at the monsters. The monsters are confused, and even without using my limited witch knowledge or my blessing, I get the feeling that the monsters don't really want to fight me. Maybe they already recognized who I am, but I'm here with Tio and Adnan today, so I'm sorry, I have to pretend that I don't know you.

"Earth kick!" (Sorry, guys. I'm just going to kick you, so pretend to be blown somewhere far away and run) [Diana]

And my wishes come true. I'm sure I didn't kick them hard enough, and yet they pretended that my kick was so powerful that they could run away. I'm convinced that they really do realize that I'm an unofficial boss in this dungeon. 

After Adnan checks the area and tells us that it's safe, Tio quickly opens the treasure chest, and lo and behold, there's the item she's looking for.

"This is a pretty good robe. It's the one the priest usually wears. The quality is a bit better than their standard, but it's also infested with Mirage Mana from here. I guess I need to baptize it first, then only it will be safe for my silkworm to eat, but will the quality degrade if I do that? Should I just let the silkworm eat it and let the healing slime heal it? Or how about..." [Tio]

"And there she goes, back to her own little world. Come on, Grasshopper Golem, one of you find a treasure chest nearby while your master is busy thinking" [Adnan].

"A rare moment for me, but it looks like it's not for you. You guys are really close, maybe your chances to be with Neloufa will decrease if this continues, hehehe..." [Diana]

"What about Neloufa?" [Adnan]

"Nothing..." [Diana, Tio]

Even Tio suddenly snapped out. I think the only two who don't realize that Adnan has a crush on Neloufa are Neloufa herself and Adnan himself. Seriously, everyone in the class can already tell that Adnan has a little crush on Neloufa. The girls just giggle while the other boys are happy because they think they have a chance to go out with Neloufa. As if I would allow that. Maybe I should tell Nar and Sas, yes, it's for Neloufa's own safety. They take care of Neloufa as if she's one of us. 

And as soon as one of the three grasshopper golems returns, we continue our search. I'm surprised that the golem Tio has is able to reproduce itself. It's really mysterious, and an object of great value to many. I've heard that many offer high prices for the golem, but Tio won't part with it. She even makes sure that all golems are registered with the Tamer Guild. 

After enough time has passed, we leave the dungeon. Tio doesn't really get what she was hoping for, a very high quality noble outfit. If I remember correctly, they only appear in the lower levels, and I couldn't possibly bring them down there. I mean, I can, but I won't. They wouldn't survive on their own, that's for sure.

"I wanted to get something to drink first. Do you want anything? It's on me today" [Tio].

"Mango juice, thank you" [Adnan]

"Really!? Then I want a chocolate drink" [Diana]

"Sure. Give me a minute" [Tio]

We wait and wait, but surprisingly Tio still hasn't returned to the waiting area. That's strange. Sure, there are many people around and that might cause some delay, but this strange feeling, it bothers me. Adnan agrees with me that we should start looking for Tio. We go to the nearest stall selling drinks, only to find one of her grasshopper golems flying right into Adnan. I tried my blessing, but I couldn't really understand what this golem was saying. It's too simple, but the word "take away" gives me the creeps. To confirm, I asked the nearest birds, dogs, and cats, and my bad feeling is correct

"Tio is kidnapped!?" [Adnan].
