Chapter 33 : Set Up

"Gah! Huff, huff! That's the last of it"

Leo and the two had already reached the 19th and were just trying to find the stairs up to the 20th, after a long fight with monsters everywhere the floor 19. Everything went well for them after the 10th floor, not encountering any monsters up to the 18th had been very good for them until the 19th floor. Where countless monsters lurks everywhere around the floor.

They kept running without taking a break till they find the stairs for floor 20.

"This is the stair, quick!" Monsters had pursued them. There were too many of them so they ran away instead of dealing with all of the monsters.

[Hoho! Group A's still on the the lead and they've reached the 20th floor! Quite a tough group we've got here huh... or were they lucky enough not to stumbled upon monsters?]

On the other side of the, group B consisting of the horned humans.

"Shit! They're already at the top!? What do we do Zest!?"

What an unlucky group, to came across monsters when they really need to be on the lead.

"Relax Drago, they still have a long way to go to reach the 100th floor. Right now focus on the things that needs to be done"

"Geh! Agh! Their blood spattered on me again!" Ruhan sniffed herself. "I wanna take a bath right now!"

"Then let me kill them all!" Drago took off and killed the monsters that enters his range of attacks as they charged towards him whilst he also dashed forward.

[Brrrttt! Okay time to mark your locations! It's been 24 hours since you guys started and I don't want you all passing out because of lack of sleep and stamina. So~]

Each group were transported back into a hotel like rooms with three beds and food to eat.

[I had someone made food for you all since you guys haven't had any and I even prepared a comfortable bed for your sleep. For those who wants to take a bath first, it's at the end of the hallway from the east. I was thinking if I should make a mixed bath but decided to separate it~]

Group B's room

"Huh why would she thought of making a mixed bath! No one's permitted to see my beautiful body even girls. I'll take a bath when everyone's asleep" Ruhan took a seat and chow down on the food

"Then let's all have our fill first and then take a bath" Zest and Drago also took their seats.

Almost every group had chosen to have eat first before taking a bath and go to bed.

Inside the group C room, "Hey guys, do you have a plan on how we can overtake the lead?"

This group's consisting of two men and one woman just like group B. The one who asked that question were the girl that came from a family of a noble.

"Let's not aim for the first prize. In fact you should be grateful that we're currently at third place" a coward who'll avoid fighting as much as he can.

"And why is that?" Asked by the group leader.

He sat down first and picked some veggie on the table to eat. "It's about group B. You haven't witnessed it but I did, they're terrifying! You both know how they caught that many monsters, apparently there were some hunters who tried to robbed them off the monsters they caught. They all end up a cold corpse that were brutally killed!"

Their group leader sat on his bed, "You're saying you witnessed it?"

"Y-yeah"

"Bullshit! He's totally lying and just scared of them. Agh! Coward!" She began bullying him.

"I'm not! I just stuttered because I remember when I saw them doing what I said!"

"That's enough of you two!" They both stopped arguing. "For now let's relax and think about what to do after we rest"

Inside the room of group D no one's around since they all decided to take a bath first. Group D consist of three men, no girl around, they didn't choose a girl because they thought that girls will just be a nuisance.

Inside the group E, this group has three girls in it and are all taking a bath.

[I've given you lots a one day break. But don't worry~ because I'll be giving you lots a break every day. One day of climbing the tower and one day of rest~ Have a wonderful blast!]

Inside Leo's room, they had just finished eating their fill and were taking a rest for a few minutes before they take a bath. Leo lie down on his bed and close his eyes as he try to forget about all of this.

And after resting Tom and Evan stood up choose some clothes they'll wear.

"Brother Leo, aren't you gonna come with us?" Leo's fast asleep, he sure was tired.

"Forget about him haha, he's been doing hard ever since so let him rest first"

and so the two of them leave the room and went to the, "Onsen!? Wow a hot spring! Thanks a lot administrator-san!" Didn't know Tom's a huge fan of Japan too.

They took off everything and washed their bodies first before going in. The hot spring's really big that even if all group took a bath, they won't cramped in.

There were other hunters too that are taking a bath. After Tom and Evan washed, they soaked in the warm water of the hot spring.

"Ahhh! So warm, I'm feeling fresh"

"Yeah this hot spring's so good for body pain"

-

Back at the 10 unknown figure having their little meeting, again.

"He's in the Underworld"

"Yeah it seems so, but he's not our priority this time. It's about 'his enemy' there, he's been so active lately"

"Don't worry I'll handle him after my job at 9th World"

"Why don't we let 'him' do this?"

"He's still incapable of doing so, and we can't meet with him yet"

"That being said, we'll have you do this for us"

"Yahoo!"

-

Back at the hot spring, after minutes of soaking, Tom and Evan got out of the hot spring and wiped their selves.

On the hallway, Zest and Drago are on their way to the bath house. They came across Tom and Evan yet it's their eyes only that met and walked past each others.

"What a bunch of weaklings! Gahaha!" They went inside the bath house, took off everything and covered their selves with a towel.

"I didn't expect a hot spring here" Zest sat down, Drago also and washed before going in.

After washing their bodies, they soaked in and felt the fresh warm water of the hot spring.

"How soothing..." Zest rested his back on the rock.

Drago became serious all of a sudden, "Hey Zest! Let's peek!"

"I thought it was something important looking all serious but to think it was just your libido"

"I'll do it if you don't want" Drago began climbing the fence that separates the male and female bath.

"My beauti- AHHHHH! An old lady"

"How rude~ calling a girl like me an old lady. I'm just 60~ come down here little boy, muah muah"

Drago quickly went down and soaked in again.

"Idiot I told you!"

"My beauties... hic hic"

-

Tom and Evan just got back from taking a bath. Leo had just woke up and were wiping his drool.

"Oh how's the bath?" Leo asked.

"It was soooo refreshing" Tom answered.

"It was a hot spring, you should take a bath too" Evan added.

"Yeah" Leo get the bag they brought with them and look for a change of clothes, and his toothbrush.

"I'm going then..."

"Yeah"

Leo leave the room and went to look for the bath house.

"West, west, where's west? I really have no sense of direction"

Leo stumbled upon a woman who seemed to have just taken a bath.

'Should I ask? No, no, she might think I'm weird'

Leo walked passed her when she noticed that Leo were holding his clothes and toothbrush.

"Looking for the bath house?"

'Oh did she noticed?'

"Uh yeah"

"Just walked directly and turn left, you'll see the bath house"

Leo nodded lightly, "Thanks!"

'I should leave quick!'

"Hmm..? Is he?"

Leo had finally reached the bath house, he entered and took off his clothes and place it in a basket.

Drago and Zest had just finished taking a bath. They wiped their selves and wore their clothes.

Leo sat down and opened the shower.

Drago and Zest were on their way out when Zest thought of a prank for mighty Goddess Ruhan.

"Hehehe!"

"What are you laughing for? Did you hit your head or something?"

"Oh sorry I forgot something you go ahead first" Drago told Zest that he left something inside but the truth is he's gonna swap the male and female sign.

"Okay then..." Zest went ahead first, Drago waited till Zest wasn't there anymore.

Leo had noticed Drago but he shrugged him off because he thought Drago might've left something.

Switchhh

"Hehehehehe! Payback for being a bitch"

Drago also went out on his way to their room.

"La la la~ hehehe just thinking about it makes me want to burst into laughter"

Drago's gonna open the door when Ruhan opened it holding her change of clothes.

"Oh you're taking a bath?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Nothing, have a nice bath"

"Huh!? You're creeping me" Ruhan took .

She soon found the bath house, but she was still bothered by Drago's attitude back there.

"Female bath, ah here" Ruhan entered the bath house took a basket to put her clothes. "Hmm, hot spring huh"

'Hey, hey, hey! Why is there a girl here? This is the men's bath room right!?'

Leo used 'Cloak' to hide his presence. Ruhan started to took off her clothes one by one.

'This is killing me! And why is she taking her clothes off in a sexy way!? And wait! Why am I looking!?'0

"There..." Ruhan took the towel and began washing her body.

'No, no, no, Leo you can't look, you really can't! I just got in here, I want to soaked in a bit longer... and I can't move. She'll notice me if I move'

Leo would take glances and shift his gaze away. Ruhan had finished washing her body. She covered her body using the towel and soaked in.

"Ahn~ it feels fresh"

'It doesn't sound fresh when you make sounds like that! The hell, I have to get out of the hot spring, she might notice me here. But I can't move haaa!'

"I guess no one's gonna come" Ruhan checked first if there's people coming in and when she saw that no one's around she took the towel off of her.

Leo had saw her naked body, "Fucc-!"

Leo quickly shut his mouth.

"Huh!? Did I hear someone talk?"

[Luck, skill proficiency : 50.0%]

[Due to this incident your Luck's skill proficiency had greatly increased.]

'Seriously what the fucc! Why did you suddenly went up? Is this also considered as luck!? Anyway, I need to think of a way to get out of here unnoticed'
