  <9: 58 pm>

  “Huh. I didn’t realize you three go along with a family drama.” I remarked, despite having been involved in something way wilder. They’re not supposed to know, so let’s forget that topic for now.

  I take a gnce at Wiina on her computer, pying games. She’s not listening in on this at all.

  “” Orrel expined. I could probably just ask Wiina about it. I wouldn’t be surprised if she figured out a few details Orrel didn’t.

  “<...Say. What did you talk with Kenni about yesterday?>” Qyunda suddenly asked. Come on now, does she really have to ask that?

  “Something about her dungeon shenanigans. It’s a long story and I’d rather not eborate on it.” Seriously, it’s a tale that sts over a month. I wasn’t there for most of it, of course, which further justified my silence on the matter. Just go harass Kenni about it.

  “” Malk asked, starting to get curious. I probably shouldn’t give too many hints.

  “You could say that. She wasn’t exactly being clear on the details, so who knows what went down.” I said while trying to sound dismissive. Kenni isn’t even here right now, so I doubt their curiosity will pique that much.

  “” Gregori said. With how vague it was, it’s reasonable to think something less than civil happened. The other party is a bit too much for even her to provoke, so nothing like that actually happens. She isn’t stupid enough to tempt fate like that.

  “All I really know is that she’s talking it out. We all should know by now she’s not that stupid.” I eborated so they don’t need to worry about her.

  “” Jeff changed the topic of the conversation since it’s clear we’re not getting anywhere about what shenanigans Kenni is up to. I actually do know more than that, but I don’t want to spill the beans. “”

  “Yeah? That seems obvious, but outside of discussing what she should do, I just stroll around or sck off. I don’t really want to be involved, as you all may guess.” Kenni might bitch at me ter for pinning it all on her, but she would probably be a bit annoyed at most. Maybe she’ll flip the script around and make fools out of them, but that’s all up in the air. “But on what you were saying, Orrel. How many floors was it? You only said ‘pretty deep’.”

  “” Guess this time around, the more isn’t the merrier.

  “” Malk remarked.

  “” Orrel further eborated. “”

  “” Sixson pointed out. “”

  “” So this is probably thought up in like a day or two at most. Is it really alright to be so hasty?

  “” Qyunda remarked.

  “” Orrel gave his opinion.

  “Well, it would be nice to know if it improves from the other two.” I said loud enough for Wiina to actually hear me. She simply looked at me with a nod before continuing her gaming session.

  “” Jeff asked, obviously not knowing the reason why. I didn’t turn my camera on, so there’s no way they even know I’m with someone else, let alone that I’m in Wiina’s house right now.

  “” …Is that what we’re calling it now?

  “” Jeff said without hesitance. Rather rare for him to sck off. He’s one of the more active people in our css. “”

  “” Useph asked, sounding bewildered. The ‘beat the shit out me’ part is par for the course. Jeff’s fighting style is very prone to making him lose due to the recoil of his attacks, and Sixson is just ft out stronger and more skilled than he is. What is weird is that…

  “” Malk spelled out what I was saying. Jeff can be a bit dense, so it could happen, but it’s still unlikely and odd.

  “” What. You can’t just forget that!

  “” Gregori was about to compin before realizing that Sixson is still on the call. He tends to be quiet so sometimes we forget he’s even there. Wiina is also like that on occasion, despite talking a bit more. “<...Sixson? Six? Are you there? Is he AFK?>”

  “Well ain’t that convenient.” I can’t help but comment. Guess we’re not figuring that out for a while. “...Say. I did remember something popped up not too long ago. Did you guys ever go there?”

  “” Useph asked. Well, I guess I should've been a bit more clear.

  “The clinic. What was it called again? Baguette Beal? The one near the dungeon.” It has a weird name. It also has a bread section, for some reason.

  “<...Orrel, have you heard of it?>” Useph clearly didn’t, so he asked his best friend about it instead.”

  “” He only has slightly more clues on it.

  “” Gregori meanwhile has some clue on what is going on with the pce. I was thinking about checking it out and actually trying the bread, but the business with Kenni came up. I couldn’t really pass up the chance of getting involved in something that interesting. It was slightly stressful, and obviously I can stream it, but it was intriguing nonetheless.

  “” Malk answer for both of them. I guess I’ll go check it out with Wiina tomorrow. For all I know, it might actually be a sketchy pce. Healing is more important than ever with a risky job like dungeon diving for materials used for who-knows-what.

  “” Qyunda asked, equally confused and clueless. I thought this was quite a hot topic, maybe I was wrong on that front?

  “” Orrel offers some theories. I guess it could just be something that simple, especially since it looks like the owner wants the pce to be more… flexible in what it can offer. Probably need multiple licenses for that.

  “” Gregori noted. “”

  “” Jeff asked while sounding genuinely surprised.

  “” Gregori threatened. Well that’s one way to excuse your way into the doctor’s office.

  “” Jeff just ignored his threat and quickly moved on to a different question.

  “” Orrel said semi-sarcastically. Always a rather private person.

  “As for Kenni… She flies off somewhere. She loves abusing the power to fly.” And I get it, if you can fly, why won’t you. People always dream of flight… I mean we technically already succeed in that, but it’s rather limited and costly. Kenni can just do that whenever she wants and it is probably very convenient. The ability to travel with little to no restriction.

  “” Qyunda remarked.

  “” Orrel repeats that sticking point. “”

  “” Gregori chimed in. What is this expnation they have been keeping quiet for who knows for long?

  “<...Basically. Her body seems to have some sort of magic spell programmed into it. You can think of it like a magic tool which will activate a spell once you put in the necessary mana. From what I’ve read on demi-humans and the like, that is one thing that regur humans don’t have. It’s an innate magic that helps emphasize the special capability of that subrace.>” Hm. That’s quite interesting. Is Qyunda’ regeneration something like that? It’s not super strong, but it’s definitely more than what a regur human can do. “”

  “Wait. I didn’t know that.” I said before looking at Wiina to see if she knew about this the whole time, but right now she is still occupied.

  “” Orrel further expined. “”

  *Tap* *Tap*

  “Hm?” I got tapped on my shoulder, so I turned to look and Wiina was holding a tiny whiteboard with the message ‘Qyunda has a hidden stinger in her tail that has deadly venom’. Well that’s quite a neat ability… Hold on a second. Let me just mute myself first… “Have you been listening in this whole time!?”
