Chapter 136 - It's A Net! It's A Stocking! It's A Fishnet Stocking!
I found a dungeon again on the way back to Cassau. It has been two days since the girls are home.
This dungeon is one that has been discovered for a while which means that almost all of the treasures here have been looted. As for me, since there's nothing here to block my vision, I found one treasure chest that hasn't been found.
There's a party of hunters that has been stalking me ever since I entered this dungeon, but I pretend to not notice them.
A party of six hunters stalking one person? How shameless.
I ignore them while I continue walking through the path where the last remaining treasure chest is.
I heard that in time, the dungeon can regenerate the treasure chests inside of it, so even if all the treasures has been taken, one day there will be more appear.
Maybe the party who's following me knows that and think that if they follow me, they will reach the treasure. Well, they're right.
I'll lead them to where the treasure chest is and if I think that the treasures inside is not anything good after seeing it with Divine Vision, I'll just leave. But if it's something good, I'll take it. If they tried to rob me, I'll kill them. But if they want to negotiate, I'll listen what they want to offer.
When I'm about fifty meters from the treasure, my Divine Vision finally able to see through the chest and shows me what treasure is inside of the chest.
It was still too far for me to decide what it is so I walked closer and I found out what it is.
Is that a net? Yes!
Is that a stocking? Yes!
Is that a fishnet stocking? Yes! Why?!
Why is the treasure a fishnet stocking? Is this some kind of magic equipment? There's no way I would want to wear it!
Although I already know what's inside the treasure chest, I still approached it out of curiosity. The stalkers haven't found out about the treasure yet, but I don't know what they will do once they find it. It might be interesting knowing that two of them are girls. Maybe I can see one of them wearing the stocking.
As I walked closer to the treasure chest, the party following me finally have the treasure chest in their sight and come out of their hiding spot.
"Stop right there! We'll take the treasure!"
Is this how they want things to go? Stopping me from taking the treasure and took them from right in front of me? That's cute.
If I hadn't took the path with no monsters, they would realize how strong I am and retreat before offending me. Well, this is the reason why I choose the long way to this place instead of the shortcut.
This should be interesting.
"You want the treasure? Then please take it. I just want to see how good that treasure I let go is. Just let me take a peek when one of you using it." I said.
"You just want to let us take the treasure without a fight?" One of them asked.
"Fighting is tiring. I'm just curious if the things inside the treasure chest is a magic tool, what kind of effect do they have? You too, right? You want to know how good the thing inside is. If it's useless, then I'll laugh at how you're trying to take it from me. If it's useful, I'll cry because I let go of something so good. Just let me see the effect of the thing inside the chest if it's a magic tool."
I already know what's inside, and seeing that there are two girls in the group, I want to see it worn so badly. They are not as beautiful as any girls in my group, but they are still considered beauties. That's why I hope one of the two girls will wear the fishnet stocking. Just please don't let it be the guys.
While I'm thinking of it, I tried using Divine Vision on them and I see that two men have explosive devices inside their mouth. Is this how they recruit new members? By approaching them and join their party, then told them to join the cult? Maybe.
Should I kill just two of them or kill everyone? Well, the answer is obvious. Fishnet stocking first.
"Well, if it's just seeing then it's fine right?"
One man who seems to be their leader said that to the other party members. This one doesn't has explosive device inside his mouth. Maybe the two who have them are their new party members.
Everyone nodded in agreement and approached the treasure chest and opened it.
Then the leader picked the thing inside the chest up for everyone to see.
"Fishnet stocking?"
"Awesome! Now your promise! Let one of the two girls in your party wear it!"
I am not pretending that I'm not interested. They have made a promise so they should keep their promise.
"But…" The leader looked at the two girls.
"You're the leader so you should be smart enough at least. This guy entered the dungeon alone while there are six of us. Which mean he's confident with his strength. We shouldn't make him our enemy." Said the other man who doesn't have explosive device in his mouth.
I think the two cult members have an agreement to not talk unless it's necessary. They haven't speak any words at all but none of them disagree with having a girl wear the stocking. After I got out of this dungeon, I'll snipe them from afar. Without Victoria, my sniping power is lessened, but as long as I used bigger stones, I think I can kill them.
"I'll wear it. I'm wearing a skirt after all. It's easier for me. You don't mind, right?"
One girl is wearing a skirt while the other is wearing pants. The one wearing skirt suggested to wear it and also winked at the leader. I see…
I asked the one who agreed with me to keep their promise.
"Is that what I think it is?"
"Yes. Our leader is just so dense. He never noticed her trying to flirt with her all the time. It might be her chance to seduce him with the stocking." He whispered.
"What about your other friends there? They haven't said anything at all." I asked him about the two cult member.
"We just met them today. They are newbies and our leader thought to guide them for their first exploration." This time, he no longer whispered and spoke in normal volume.
"By stalking me since I entered the dungeon you mean?"
As I replied to him, he and the other men made a shocked expression. While the girls are nowhere around us as the skirt wearing girl is changing. Well, it's not like I can't see them.
"You noticed?"
"If you choose to fight instead of asking, it will be you guys who died." I pretend to be strong even though I'm just a beginner level.
"I see. No wonder you dare to enter dungeon alone. Sorry about that." The leader apologized for his action.
"It's fine. After all if I got the treasure, I don't think I will wear it. And I can see something good."
Then the girls come out. All the men here awed by the appearance of the girl with fishnet stocking.
"How is it?" The girl asked the leader.
"Umm… it looks good on you." The leader answered shyly while his face became so red.
"Thank you!" The girl replied happily.
"Thank you as well for showing us something great." I clasped both my hands and bowed to the girl. Then the guy I chatted with followed suit.
"I thank you very much."
As for the other two, the still doesn't speak at all. But their eyes are locked to the girl's thighs.
"Seems like those two will get closer from now on." I whispered to the man next to me.
"Yeah. It's just today that I found out his taste is in fishnet stocking." He replied.
"It's annoying to see how dense our leader is. Finally they will make some progress. By the way, how come you two become so close?"
The other girl suddenly approached us joined our conversation.
"You're not going to those guys?" I asked the girl and pointed at the two silent guys.
"Somehow I feel like it's a bad idea to get close to them. They are dangerous. I said I disagree to let them follow us, but our leader is both dense and naive. That's why he let them follow us. I need to watch them in case they tried to do anything to us."
Her instinct told her that those two are dangerous. But why is she talking to me?
"What about me? Am I not dangerous enough for you?"
"You're not dangerous. You're just a pervert."
"Hey! It's not like I know what's inside the chest!" I lied.
"Look! Those two are whispering something to each other!"
The girl said and the three of us looked at the two men while there's a couple who doesn't realize anything.
I eavesdropped on them and I know what they're looking for. They're aiming for the fishnet stocking if it's something good and planned to kill everyone here. I guess that mean no one other than those two is a member of the cult.
I think I'll stay around with these guys for now. They seem like good guys.
More importantly, what is the secret behind that fishnet stocking?
