Dungeon Overlord: Monster Girl Harem!

"Wait…" suddenly Leon's body shuddered, and he started to look around, before wondering why it was still night. "How long has passed since we entered here?"

He couldn't understand.

Evolution normally lasted close to twelve hours, and since defeating that monster, he couldn't see the sun rising yet, which confused him.

Not only did he sleep with Asuka twice, but they also slept… before evolving.

That's quite some time that should have passed!

Asuka's body froze, slowly turning to face him with her mouth opened wide.

"Did they leave without us?!"

[You don't need to worry so much.]

Ifrit's voice echoed in both of their minds.

Thanks to the evolution, Asuka became part of the dungeon system like Zafira, but she was close to an exception and didn't need to obey the rules much like Ifrit herself.

"Eh? There's a voice in my mind… but it's so familiar."

"Calm down, Ifrit. That's my most cherished helper, Ifrit. You can respond in your mind, and she will hear it."

『Like This?』

'Hmm? I can hear you too. Ifrit, what's going on?'

[Haha, well, you both evolved at the same time with my help, so of course we've become united at a deep level.]

『Haha, that sounds really erotic… have you also slept with Leo?』

The two started speaking energetically.

While Asuka's raspy voice contrasted with the melodic tone of Ifrit, Leonhardt couldn't help but appreciate what she did for him.

This meant that he could now communicate with Asuka during battles and hunts, avoiding danger to her.

However, he also wondered what would happen if he slept with someone else.

[We can hear your lewd thought!]

『Why sleep with someone else when I'll let you fuck a dragon?』

[Asuka, don't let him off so easily!]

『Eh… but it feels wonderful. Haven't you done it yet, Ifrit?』

[O-Of C-Course, this benevolent and mighty older sister has done it before!]

Leonhardt's lips trembled, curling into a smile as Ifrit started bragging about her experience and skills, but he knew from her actions earlier that it was likely a ruse. But he didn't let his thoughts become too big, letting her keep this credit in front of Asuka.

[Anyway! The barrier that wraps around your area of the forest is something special.]

'Oh?'

He sat close to Asuka, who wore a thin robe. She leaned against his chest, her eyes peered at him like a hungry beast.

"Hey~ Leo?" she whispered while rubbing against his neck with her nose, a slight chill running along Leonhardt's neck each time she sniffed his scent. "You smell fantastic."

"Thanks, you smell quite delicious yourself. Maybe I should eat you later."

"Fufu, why later… I am ready for a full course, right now."

[The Item is something that Zafira bought for you.]

[Here, look at the faint black dome, and focus on your mirror.]

[Because it's far from the dungeon, she used a special item when I told her you might be in danger.]

The display in front of him changed, thanks to the special items that allowed him to check the dungeon screen, about his goblins and the other troops.

'I should visit Gobbolas when I get the chance, I miss him.'

[One-Use Item]

Chrono-Veil [Rank A]

A Time Dilation Artefact.

Cost: 1000 DP per hour.

For every hour in the outside world, a day passes inside the barrier.

Nothing can penetrate the barrier, and people will not look for you unless an emergency occurs.

The moment he heard about the item, Leonhardt's eyes widened. The cost seemed expensive, and this wasn't even the upfront cost.

'Who paid for the barrier?'

『Hmm, seems like I cannot see this.』

"Sorry, Asuka."

"Nn~ it's alright, not like I care much."

[Zafira… she bought the initial item with her remaining DP and then went out to hunt for more, to maintain it for at least two days.]

Immediately after hearing her name, Leonhardt's chest fluttered, his heart thumping as he wondered why Zafira, who rarely seemed to care about him, would help so much.

A thousand DP might not have seemed like much, but someone bound to the dungeon could only kill low-level monsters that offered a small amount.

[Yeah, you should really think about contacting her. Don't tell her I told you too though.]

『Sister Ifrit, is this Zafira one of his other women?』

Leonhardt tuned out of the conversation between the dragon and the fire elemental.

Instead, he tapped the dungeon list and noticed all the things that Zafira finished in the past two days. He then realised that the battle, his copulation, and evolution took two days, and today was the third.

His eyes closed, disconnecting from Ifrit and Asuka, before using the communication line personally for Zafira…

The tone continued slowly, echoing in his mind before finally, a sleepy and slightly cold voice responded.

[What's the matter, Dungeon Master?]

'I'm sorry for waking you up.'

There was silence for a moment before Zafira replied.

[It's fine, I was just resting. What do you need?]

Zafira's tone tightened his chest. Though she worked so hard for him, collecting over 3000 DP within three hours, he just enjoyed himself and evolved, earning nothing.

'I apologise for causing you trouble, thank you for helping me.'

There was another pause before Zafira spoke again.

Her words were soft and gentle, almost like a mother comforting her child.

[Don't worry about it, I'm happy to help.]

Normally, they would argue or have something more to say. Leonhardt was nervous that she could be so soft and gentle. Though he didn't mind it, there was something wrong, and he wanted to fix it.

'I slept with Asuka.'

[Are you an idiot who can't control his cock?]

'No, but it happened.'

There was an instant response, as she shouted in his mind, a strange response… while the sound of something slamming against the ground echoed in the background of their call.

She sounded angry and hurt.

He didn't know what angered her, but he felt bad for upsetting her.

'Sorry.'

Another pause followed, but this time, Zafira didn't reply immediately. Instead, he heard a deep sigh coming from her side of the connection.

[I'm hanging up.]

'Wait!'

'What's wrong? Is there something that upset you, Zafira?'

[—I'm hanging up.]

The connection cut off abruptly, leaving Leonhardt feeling even worse than before.

Normally, Zafira didn't react like that, their conversations full of banter or give and take.

Somehow, his stomach dropped and the thought that the lovely succubus started hating him crossed his mind.

He didn't want that.

Asuka looked at him, her eyes filled with concern.

"Is everything okay?"

Leonhardt shook his head.

"No, it's not. I think I made Zafira angry."

"Hmmm…"

[It will be fine, I will speak with her for you, just make some time to visit the dungeon]

This time, Ifrit responded with an encrypted communication, though Asuka knew of the dungeon. Ifrit didn't want to cause friction for Leonhardt because of women.

Thus, she took this precaution.

'Will you really?'

[Of course, so go back and complete your task. Don't rely on that item too long…]

'Okay, then take care, we'll head back to the others now.'

"Asuka, shall we prepare to head back?" Ifrit explained that only a few hours had passed.

"Ah, yes, she did." Asuka nodded, her tight muscles showing as she stretched her body, and prepared to leave, flicking her golden gaze towards him several times.

Leonhardt stood up and stretched his muscles, feeling refreshed and energised.

"I hope those guards don't give us trouble…"

"Hahaha, Why did you curse it, Leo?
