“It’s a great pleasure to meet you again,” the woman, dressed impeccably in a suit from head to toe, greeted us with a slight bow. Behind her stood several women, heavily armed, clearly functioning as bodyguards. Judging by their weapons, they all seemed to be hunters.

Though her posture was perfectly composed, she couldn’t hide her curiosity. She kept sneaking glances at me, trying to appear as though she was looking straight ahead.@@novelbin@@

“I heard you had some trouble with an unidentified monster. Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. What’s the current situation?”

Nika, wrapped tightly in a coat, responded. Beneath that thick coat, she still wore the attire of the Succubus Queen, though fortunately, she hadn’t exposed the inside to anyone outside.

“Seventeen A-3 class monsters emerged from the gate 13 minutes ago, and they were just dealt with. According to the calculations, the dungeon break is expected to occur in about ten minutes, which could bring forth either the dungeon boss or an S-class monster.”

“I thought there was still quite some time before the expected dungeon break. Was it a miscalculation or an unforeseen event?”

Nika’s demeanor was quite different from when she was with me—she was cold and authoritative. Just as she had been when she appeared at the royal palace as the Succubus Queen, she clearly knew how to separate personal and professional matters.

“It’s the latter. Since the dormant gate activation incident, the timing of all dungeon breaks has been reported as chaotic. Didn’t you receive this information?”

Of course, I hadn’t. After all, I was the one responsible for the dormant gate activation incident. After that, I’d been too busy clinging to the guild building to receive any reports.

“I’ve been occupied.”

“Yes, I assumed as much.”
