Chapter 69

  "Draii, aren't you do?" Michalis asked from behind the door, his voice ced with a hint of impatienbsp;

  Bahamut, momentarily distracted by the interruption, iently gave Dra opportunity to escape.

  Without wasting any time, Draco quickly flipped Bahamut's petite frame off his back, snatched his status sheet, and grabbed his shirt from the ground, using it to cover the tent that had formed within his pants.

  ‘Silly brute, just had to ruin our aloime’ Bahamut thought as she sat up on the bed.

  Swoosh !!

  Hastily, Draco exited the room, swinging the door open with a resounding swish.

  "Whoa!" Michalis excimed, caught off guard, as he tumbled to the floor.

  Looking around, Draco was somewhat startled to find Cir, Michalis, Eleni, Nikoos, Dimitra, Vasileios, and Vasiliki in a tangled heap to the side just outside the door.

  It was evident they had all been eavesdropping on his versation with Bahamut.

  Michalis, being the slowest to react, had been the only one uo flee in time as Draerged from the room.

  "Ahem, Draii, it was all him," Vasiliki said, pointing an accusatory fi Michalis.

  "Wait, what do you mean 'just me'?" Michalis tered, attempting to push himself up from the floor.

  "It's true, he told me that you and Bahamut-sama might be doing something naughty. Sniff, I tried to stop him, but fell prey to curiosity," Vasiliki said, her voice ced with a hint of feigned sorrow.

  Draco turned his gaze to Michalis, who was still on the floor, while the others maintained a respectful distance, ag as if they were not involved.

  "Wait, Draii, surely you tell that she is lying. You know I am a gentleman and would never voice out such a vulgar assumption, especially to the girls," Michalis pleaded, his brow furrowed in ear.

  Nikoos and Vasileios nodded in silent support, their tacit agreement with Michalis's cim.

  "Draii, don't listen to that vulgar thing on the ground. You know what he is truly like," Vasiliki tered, her tone dripping with disdain.

  "Did she just call me a thing?" Michalis sighed, pg a hand dramatically on his forehead.

  "Sigh, what happeo my cute little sister? The days when she would run to me and call out 'nii-' are over." he said.

  "Huh, that has never happened. You do know that you are older than me by only an hour. Besides, I remember clearly that it was Draii that I ran to," Vasiliki replied, her brow furrowed in annoyance.

  Draco listeo their bickering, shaking his head in exasperation as his arousal had long since subsided.

  'Sigh, what nonsense are they both spouting?' Draco wondered.

  "Enough, just go in a your status updated," he said, seeing o their squabbling.

  Michalis quickly scrambled to his feet and hurried into Bahamut's room to have his status updated, while the others maintaiheir distance.

  'I should probably finish unpag my boxes. Everyone should be done updating their status by then,' Draco thought, turning to leave when Cir stopped him.

  "Wait, your status sheet," Cir said, stopping Draco as he was about to leave.

  Draco didn't mind and handed his status sheet to her, knowing that the others had likely already heard Bahamut's expnatiarding his high status.

  With that, Draade his way to the ste room, i on finishing the task of unpag his clothes from the boxes.

  Time seemed to swiftly trickle by, and soon, each member of the Bahamut familia had updated their status.

  Everyone besides Draco boasted main stats rangiween 100 and 199, their other statistics were equally impressive, h between 50 and 100.

  This level ress was truly remarkable, sidering they had only eheir dungeon-diving endeavors a mere week prior.

  Draco found this unusually rapid adva both intriguing and perplexing.

  He reasohat this phenomenon must be attributed to the uhod of their birth or the potential effects of one of his unknown skills.

  However, he did not feel the o delve deeper into the underlying reasons, tent in the knowledge that their growth speed would not leave them gging too far behind him.

  Bahamut, possessed a keen uanding of the normal progression patterns of adventurers, thanks to some of her goddess friends.

  sequently, she could not help but notice the highly unnatural nature of her children's development.

  Yet, much like Draco, as long as the outes were positive, she did not dwell on the specifibsp;

  Instead, she simply attributed their exceptional progress to their i giftedness.

  The familia’s rapid ast in power and capabilities was not merely a ce or a stroke of luck, but rather the result of a plex interpy of factors, both known and unknown.

  …………………………………………………………………………………….

  With their status updates resolved, the Bahamut familia exited their residence, heading towards the guild.

  They had a scheduled meeting with their guild advisor, Rose, for the evening.

  As they arrived at the guild, they quickly located Rose, who guided them to a vat meeting room.

  "Gd you all could make it," Rose began the meeting.

  "Of course, yuidance is invaluable to us," Draco replied.

  Cir, oher hand, scoffed, as she and Rose had not seeo-eye sihe ihe previous week.

  "Anyway, I have called you here today to discuss the 5th to 7th floors," Rose stated, getting straight to the point.

  "Does this mean we ow venture beyond the 4th floor?" Michalis interjected, his curiosity piqued.

  "Indeed," Rose affirmed. "You all have proven your capabilities this past week. Additionally, there has been a noticeable dee in kobold sightings on the 3rd and 4th floors, likely due to your familia's extensive hunting. As such, I have decided to grant you access up to the 7th floor." she said.

  Rose paused, "I ot in good sce ask you to reduce your hunting, so the only solution was to have you dive deeper into the dungeon." she added.

  Draodded thoughtfully. "I see, so our activities have had su impa the early floors” he said.

  Ier half of the past week, Draco had made them switch to hunting mostly Kobolds.

  This was because the kobold magic stones fetched a higher price, and Draco wao recoup the funds spent on the advance payment for the house they had rented.

  "Normally, only adventurers with at least G-rank stats would be allowed to vehis deep," Rose expined.

  "However, your skills and equipment should make up for any deficies in your raw stats." she added.

  She then proceeded to eborate on the dahat awaited them oh floor and beyond.

  "Killer ants and war shadows begin to spawn from the 5th floor onward. This is where most newbies start meeting their demise." she said, her expression taking a more serious tone.

  Rose then brought out a book taining diagrams of the two monsters, a map of the floors, along with information on their known weaknesses and areas to avoid.

  The meeting tinued well into the night, as Rose ehat she had veyed all the relevant information to the Bahamut familia.

  Privately, Rose wished they could have spent a few more weeks o to 4th floors, but she k was only a matter of time before other newbies realized that the Bahamut familia was h most of the kobolds on those levels.

  This could easily lead to trouble for them, so she reasohat increasing the difficulty of their hunting would slow down their pace.

  As the meeting drew to a close, Draco expressed his gratitude.

  "Thank you, Rose-san. We will be sure to keep all your advi mind." he said.

  Not all dungeon advisor’s were willing to do this much for their assigned adventurers.

  Rose watched as the Bahamut familia exited the meeting room, a ed expression on her fabsp;

  "Why am I getting so ied in them?" she wondered aloud, leaning ba her chair.

  The Bahamut familia was highly unusual, possessing skills and aplishments that were beyond the norm for newbies.

  The only person she knew who had achieved a simir feat was Ai’s, a young girl from the Loki familia, who was sidered an exceptional prodigy.

  "Are they like her? Just maybe..." Rose mused, her brow furrowed in ption.

  She couldn't help but wonder if there was somethiraordinary about this familia, something that set them apart from the rest.

  Shaking her head, Rose tried to dismiss these thoughts.

  "No, I 't let myself care too much, or I might end up jinxing them," she muttered, spping her cheeks lightly to refocus.

  With a deep sigh, Rose stood up and headed for the door, determio maintain a professional distance, even as a part of her couldn't help but be intrigued by the Bahamut familia's potential.

  As she walked through the guild halls, Rose couldn't help but pohe implications of their rapid progress.

  Were they truly a cut above the rest, or was it simply a matter of exceptional preparation aermination? Whatever the case, she khat the challehey would fa the deeper levels of the dungeon would test their mettle like never before.
