"Viloti, do you know what this is?"

Felyn turned to the one he thought was the smartest of the three.

"I've never seen anything like it..."

In the sparse forest ahead, a strange door covered in violet magic floated midair.

Suspended in the air, it looked incredibly bizarre.

All three of them could feel the lingering aura of purple magic on the door handle.

"Don’t tell me this is a door to Hell..." Felyn muttered, taking a step forward.

But before he could get close, both Viloti and Zervanie reached out and pulled him back at the same time.

"Be careful, Felyn! What if it suddenly opens and sucks you in?"

Felyn didn’t insist. He obediently stepped back.

“It’s just… I feel like I’ve seen this kind of magic before…”

He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Lately, he’d been seeing this pure violet magic aura more and more frequently.

But who could it belong to? Who would emit such magic?

This was one of those times where having very few friends had its advantages—his list of suspects was small.

Dorothy!

That Imperial Princess—her eyes had recently begun glowing with this very same violet hue.

Could this be… a portal to Dorothy’s bedroom?

But why would something like that appear in a dungeon?

Whatever the case, this was all too strange.

"Let’s just go. It’s starting to creep me out."

Since no one knew what it was, they decided to leave it alone. After all, this was a dungeon—there were plenty of unexplained phenomena that humans had yet to understand.

Felyn wasn’t curious enough to risk anything, and both Zervanie and Viloti tended to follow his lead.

None of them had any intention of opening that door.

It was now 2:00 in the afternoon.

As the clock ticked forward, the door vanished.

“Huh? It disappeared?”

Felyn rubbed his eyes. The floating door that had been hovering there just moments ago was gone.

Zervanie instinctively moved closer to Felyn, her expression uneasy as she glanced around.

"Felyn, let’s get out of here. I’ve got a bad feeling."

“Yeah.”

Felyn felt it too—something wasn’t right.

Without wasting another word, he reached out, grabbing both Zervanie and Viloti by the wrist.

He was just about to lead them away when a massive violet formation suddenly lit up beneath their feet.

It wasn’t a Seal.

Seeing it, Felyn’s eyes widened. Something clicked in his memory. He immediately looked at Viloti.

She looked back at him. Their eyes met.

At the same time, they both spoke the same word:

"Magic!"

This was exactly like the runes used by the demon Hubert—the one they'd encountered deep in the dungeon long ago.

Demons didn’t use Divine Arts or Seal. They used magic.

A surge of powerful energy poured into the formation beneath their feet. Felyn’s sense of unease deepened.

In his mind, the same scene replayed—the moment Hubert used Origin Magic to teleport him.

His consciousness wavered. Darkness consumed his vision. The sound of wind in his ears suddenly paused—as if someone had pressed mute on the world.

Teleportation Magic—activated.

The three of them vanished from the forest, their destination unknown.

Just after they disappeared, a white rift split open in the air.

Out stepped Bernice, clad in light white armor, rubbing her temples.

"This is going to be a problem..."

"Viloti? Zervanie? Are you two alright?"

Felyn couldn’t see a thing.

Someone’s body was pressing against his face—soft and plush.

He could even feel… that part gently shifting side to side against him.

Both girls smelled incredibly nice. The scent of youthful girls was almost intoxicating.

“Felyn, are you okay?!”

With Zervanie and Viloti climbing off him, Felyn finally got a proper breath of air.

He’d almost been smothered to death—by boobs. Again.

“Why did I say ‘again’...?”

Felyn sat up, spotting a faint blush on both girls’ faces. He had no idea who had been lying on top of him.

And Zervanie and Viloti were both similarly built—he couldn’t tell based on chest size.

If it had been Adelina or Daiyi, their, uh, ‘features’ would’ve made it obvious.

“I’m fine. What about you two?”

This Teleportation Magic was originally designed to transfer just one person, but since there were three of them at the destination, they’d ended up stacked together during the transfer.

Felyn leaned back against the wall, scanning his surroundings.

With something this bizarre, there had to be some kind of rare treasure, right?

But it wasn’t a hidden training cave left behind by some ancient master, nor was it overflowing with gold and silver.

The lighting was dim, just a few strands of warm yellow light from crystal lamps.

Near his hand were some long boots and a few pairs of high heels. In the distance, a shoe cabinet held pink slippers.

A bit farther away, on a carpet, sat a white unicorn plushie and a full collection of Princess Heroine’s Grand Adventure novels.

Sky-blue blankets were half-falling from the bed, which had a few dresses and white tops tossed across it.

The closet door was open, and several pairs of black lace stockings were strewn in front of it.

This was 100%… a girl’s bedroom!

Felyn looked around—there were no doors. No visible exits.

A window was hidden behind the pink curtains, but they didn’t move at all.

“Hey, come check this out.”

Three attractive faces pressed against the glass.

Outside… was a cavern, filled with massive magic crystals.

The glow of pure violet light proved their incredibly high grade.

The closer one got to the Demon King’s domain, the higher the purity of the magic crystals.

That meant they were very deep in the dungeon now.

“Looks like we can’t get out for the time being.”

Felyn was a little worried, but it didn’t feel like a death sentence.

Plenty of abandoned rooms like this existed deep in dungeons—either built by beastfolk who took on human form or by adventurers temporarily residing here.

If it was a magical beast, though, they’d be in serious trouble.

But what kind of magical beast would wear lace stockings, ride a unicorn plushie, and lie on a rug reading Princess Heroine’s Grand Adventure, a romance series about a hero defeating a demon king?

No way a monster would read that.

More likely, the room’s owner had used a Teleportation Seal left behind by the demons and temporarily stepped out.

In that case, they just had to wait for her return.

Zervanie and Viloti understood that too, so none of them were too panicked.

Still… this was the dungeon’s deepest layer. It was cold.

Felyn curled into a corner, rubbing his arms for warmth.

“At this rate, I’ll freeze before I starve…”

If he weren’t worried about offending the room’s owner, he’d have jumped straight into that warm, fluffy-looking bed.

But imagine the girl coming back to find a stranger and two pretty girls snuggled up in her bed, happily snoozing together under her blanket.

She would definitely explode.

She’d probably think something intense had just gone down on that bed.

They might never see daylight again.

“Felyn, I brought some Warmth Seals. Do you want one?”

Zervanie rummaged through her backpack and pulled out a few sigils.

“Thanks, Zervanie! I was this close to freezing to death.”

Felyn praised me again!

Zervanie strutted over proudly, joining Felyn and Viloti.

“Hmph! Miss Viloti, I think I finally scored one for once!”

With how well-prepared I am, clearly I’m the best wife for Felyn!

Viloti blinked at the seal Zervanie offered her.

“Felyn, I… I can’t use this.”

“Huh? Why not?”

“I mean… you already used one, so it’s not that cold anymore.”

“…Because of Divine Taboos.”

Viloti, like Felyn, had undergone Divine Awakening.

Anything that a god disliked would lower one’s Divine Affinity—this was known as a Divine Taboo.

“Divine Taboo? Really?”

Zervanie was clearly skeptical.

She crouched in front of Viloti, staring into the pink-haired noble girl’s eyes.

Viloti blinked rapidly, clutched her skirt, then looked away, her gaze evasive.

That face—she’s definitely lying!

“Miss Viloti! You won’t even look me in the eyes!”

“It’s not a Divine Taboo, is it?! You just wanted an excuse to cuddle up to Felyn for warmth!”

“Damn it, why didn’t I think of that?!”

Zervanie was drowning in regret.

She’d already used her Warmth Seal and wasn’t cold anymore—there was no excuse to follow Viloti’s lead.

If she’d known, she wouldn’t have offered the seals in the first place!
