"The dungeon in Singroom Town is a standard field with thirteen floors, and is said to be somewhat suitable for beginners."
Veteran adventurer Gurkha will explain.
"High-difficulty dungeons can easily exceed a hundred floors, so thirteen floors is definitely on the weak side. All floors are normal cavern-type, with no troublesome additional environments like lava or snow. The monsters that appear are of average strength, so I think it's just right for students to experience."
"I see...!"
Then we moved from the guild to the entrance of the dungeon.
After getting permission from the gatekeeper, we finally enter the dungeon.
"How busy is it today?"
When Gurkha asked with the familiarity of a veteran, the gatekeeper replied.
"You are the first guests of the day. A party of the notorious Jinzanga was scheduled to visit today. Everyone was avoiding any trouble. However, the Jinzangas have not shown up at all."
Could it be...?
"Those Jinzanga guys won't come. This rookie has wiped them all out. So they won't come, not just today, but forever."
As I thought, they were the ones I had a fight with in the guild!
"That's good news. Adventurers who cause trouble are nothing but a hindrance, no matter how skilled they are. If they're gone, exploration of this dungeon will go much more smoothly."
"Is that how it is!?"
The Adventurer's Guild's response is so dry!
I guess it's a tough industry where you can't survive without that kind of effort!?
"New visitors. We look forward to your efforts. Please bring back many useful materials."
"Yes!"
He answers the questions casually and enters the dungeon.
The inside was indeed cool and cave-like, and completely silent.
"It's so quiet, there's no sign of anyone at all...!?"
His sister, who is accompanying him, is also confused by the strangeness of this presence.
"Based on what we just said, it looks like we have the place to ourselves today. No one will get in our way, but in exchange, no one will come to help us if we get into any trouble. So we need to be on our toes and move forward."
"Yes!"
Mr. Gurkha, who accompanied us as supervisor, was extremely reliable.
"This is a learning experience for you guys, so I won't interfere. You basically have to make your way forward on your own. I'll be taking a good look at the royal capital's elite."
"got it!"
Having the dungeon to myself was convenient for me too.
I want to avoid exposing the bare skin of my precious lovers to other men at all costs.
I had originally intended to dive deeper before undressing her, but since there was no one else around, I thought it would be fine now.
"Let's go, everyone! Cast off!"
Following my command, the four of them - Caliba, Starf, Moa and Bloom - took off their cloaks.
What emerged from underneath was half-naked, with her belly button, back, and thighs completely exposed.
A quadruple star in bikini armor that only covers the crotch, breasts, and other important parts to the bare minimum!
"Huhhhhhhhhhh?!"
A veteran Gurkha exclaimed in shock upon witnessing this.
"This bikini armor was custom made for me, modelled on Caliba-san's! It's a top-quality item that was made with a lot of money poured into it!"
"I'm proud that this design brings out the best in me! And it's highly functional too! After all, beauty must be combined with strength!"
Although they were all called bikini armor, each had its own unique character. While the most standard design worn by Sister Caliba was like a lightweight version of regular armor, Lady Starf and Bloom's bikini armor was full of playfulness befitting the noble ladies.
For example, Bloom's bikini armor was mainly black with a shiny glittery finish, making it look like a dominatrix's bondage outfit.
In contrast, Miss Starf is wearing pure white bikini armor.
White is said to be pure and has the effect of strengthening sacred magic, but for some reason it was a micro bikini.
There is only enough fabric on top to barely cover the nipples and the private parts on the bottom, so even the slightest movement could cause a shift and lead to disaster.
Both Lady Starf and Lady Bloom are magic-based rear guards, so they don't wear metal armor, but that makes them look like they're just wearing bikinis!
"...What is this?"
Next to him, Gurkha exclaimed in a voice of genuine astonishment.
"I wonder if nobles really have crazy ideas? In a dungeon where your life is in danger, you're practically naked, and you're just flirting with an outfit that looks like you're trying to seduce men…!"
"Wait! Wait!"
I somehow manage to calm down and calm Gurkha, who is about five seconds away from losing his temper.
"This is the optimal equipment we came up with for clearing dungeons! This is the most efficient one!"
"No way! If dressing like this was an advantage in conquering dungeons, all adventurers would go out completely naked! How is this even useful!?"
I agree.
for example....
"It's so easy to go to the toilet."
"That's right, all you have to do is pull down your pants, so it must be really easy. I'm really envious of that!"
As he says this, Gurkha is fully equipped for parading through the dungeon, with the bottoms of his thick trousers tucked securely into his boots, and with his lower body wrapped around multiple belts, it looks like it would be difficult for him to urinate.
「But that's about it, right? It's not worth the risk of going through the dungeon with almost your entire lower body exposed. Whip-san has asked me to do this as a reward, so if he acts too foolishly, I'll force him to leave...!」
"Wait, wait! Just this once! If you take a look at it just once, you'll understand the usefulness of this equipment, so just wait and see what happens this time!!"
Since I begged him on the ground, even the veteran adventurer gave in.
"Okay, okay. I'll take a chance that the elite students of the royal capital aren't that stupid. Just this once, okay? If I can't prove the merits of that undergarment this time, I'll force you to change into proper gear next time."
"Yay!"
At least they were lenient this time!
Let's move on.
Go! Bikini Armor Corps!
◆
As I progressed through the dungeon, I soon encountered an enemy.
It's a bat as big as a dog.
As soon as these monsters saw us, they spread their wings and surged forward.
There are dozens of them.
"They're vampire bats! They love human blood, and they'll bite you and suck your blood! ...It's because of guys like that that we have to protect every inch of our bodies!!"
"Omega Firestorm"
Bloom unleashed an advanced level attack magic, and all the bats flying around the ceiling of the cave were engulfed in flames, roasting them to a golden brown.
"Hmm, that's a good flame current. The magic conduction material woven into the bikini armor is working well."
"You kidding meeee?!"
The sheer numbers of the bat horde could have caused a great deal of trouble, but the attack was averted thanks to Bloom, a [Magician], who used an area-of-effect attack magic.
"Oh, another group of bats has come. Say hello to Bloom."
"Omega Firestorm"
"Huh!?"
Bloom fires off a barrage of powerful area-of-effect fire magic spells.
Thanks to that, the bats, who rely on numbers, are completely shut down and burn out.
"Hey hey, is it really okay to use all your power like that!? It looks like it's a powerful spell that will consume a lot of magical power!"
"Omega Firestorm"
"Is that sooo bad!?"
After walking for a while, it seemed we had left the bats' territory, and the appearance of the approaching enemies began to change.
It's a demi-human monster.
It looks like a hairy beast, but it stands on two legs and is armed with a shield and sword in each hand.
Some were covered in scales, others had pig-like faces, and there was a whole range of them.
"Beast demons! They are tough, sturdy, and even armed, so you can't just sweep them away with a single magic blast! Your previous tactics won't work on them!"
"Then it's our turn!"
Caliba-san and Moa-san leap into action.
The frontline duo of [Knight] and [Swordsman] will form a wall to meet the enemies.
First, my sister...
"[Knight] Skill "Encouragement"!"
As a [Knight] suited to group combat, he can activate skills that lift the spirits of his allies and make their movements more agile.
"Shield Bash Wall!!"
He then slams his shield into the enemies, blowing them away as a whole group.
All of the above actions have been performed in bikini armor.
"The enemy has flinched! Now!"
"Omega Blizzard! Freeze and harden!"
Bloom's freezing magic didn't kill the monsters instantly, but it did cause a great deal of damage and their movements became slower due to their chilled bodies.
Either way, he's not an opponent that can be sunk with a single spell, so the correct thing to do would be to set up traps that restrict his actions.
With the monsters dispersed and slowed down like this, we could then deal with them appropriately.
My sister, Moa and I jumped in and steadily took them down one by one.
Bloom will be casting supporting attack magic from the rear, while Lady Starf will be supporting us by using long-distance healing magic.
As a [Knight] class, my sister has high offensive and defensive abilities, and she is the one who attracts the most enemies by herself.
In the meantime, we'll eliminate any isolated ones quickly and surely.
"Swordsman skill, "Cut in two"!"
The one who stood out the most there was More.
Since her calling is the [Swordsman] class, which specializes in one-on-one battles, it would be ideal if she were able to create such a situation.
He splits every beast-like demon he comes across one by one, reducing their numbers at an accelerating rate.
Moa's movements were particularly agile, and no beast demon could keep up with her.
Far from being able to counterattack, he was wiped out in an instant without even being able to make a defensive move.
That's probably because Moa is wearing bikini armor.
Because his equipment has been made as light as possible, he is able to move quickly, and because he is practically naked, covering only his chest and groin, he can move naturally and strike the enemy first.
Huh? Is that really true?
Don't doubt it!
By the way, Moa's bikini armor was a chainmail-style metal bikini.
It's made of metal but is flexible like cloth, which is probably why it's easy to move around in.
"I've even dressed like this to make it easier to move around, so there's no way I'll lose!!"
If I lose, it'll just be a living embarrassment.
Perhaps the aim is to push oneself in this way and perform to the best of one's ability.
A desperate, naked tactic.
Then I quietly beat them all to death with a stick, and soon they were all wiped out.
Zero damage to us.
It was a complete victory.
"No, no, no, no...! Wait, wait, wait, wait...!"
Then a veteran adventurer speaks up.
"That's not good. You're going too far. Everyone is fighting with all their might and not holding back."
"Is there a problem?"
"That's a problem! Dungeons are basically continuous battles! Every time you go to the next floor, stronger monsters attack, forcing you to put more strain on yourself, so you need to make sure you have some reserve strength! If you keep fighting like this, you'll soon run out of steam!"
Is that so?
That's right.
"When exploring a dungeon, you need to carefully manage your power distribution. You need to have some left over for the return journey too. If you go deep into the dungeon and run out of energy, it's all over."
Gurkha may be right.
In the battles up to this point, we've been fighting at a pace close to full speed.
He used his magic and skills generously, truly going for it with the attitude of "Let's go all out."
But that's like sprinting in a marathon: you can't maintain that pace and reach the finish line.
You'll definitely get out of breath halfway through.
Could it be that Gurkha's fears were completely spot on and we were just careless rookies?
No, that's not it.
"We have our hands ready!"
"What?!"
Do you think they were just fighting at full force, ignoring the pace gun without any thought?
We know that dungeons are long-term battles and require proper pacing.
But we have a trump card that can make that happen.
This is where their bikini armor comes in handy.
"Now everyone, take your pants off!"
With Bikini Armor, you can be completely naked in no time just by dropping your pants and removing your bra!
