Volume 2 Chapter 20-2 Card Key
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”Wow, the card came back!”
”Next, chant ‘Love Hotel’”
”Huh? No way… Love Hotel”
Even though she was confused, Tifi whispered the words as instructed.
At that moment, a red door appeared silently from the floor.
Normally, the door would show up in front of me, but this time it appeared in the direction of Tifi’s gaze.
When I opened it, it led to the room of the Love Hotel I usually use.
”M-Mr. Taro… what is this…”
Tifi’s voice trembled.
”Ah, Tifi can now open the Love Hotel door. This way, while we are diving into the dungeon, Tifi can enter the Love Hotel too.”
I thought again how revolutionary this feature was.
But Tifi’s reaction was different.
”Huh… no way, that can’t be…”
Tifi showed a mix of surprise and confusion as she shook her head in a hurry.
”Mr. Taro, that’s no good… I can’t accept something so important…”
Tifi bowed her head, looking apologetic.
Her reaction was unexpected.
I was hoping for something more like, “Yay! Mr. Taro is amazing! Hug me!”
”Master”
Lifia spoke with a serious expression.
”Master said you almost became a hero, but from our view, you are the true hero. To be able to share the power of a hero means you become a being next to a hero.”
Lifia’s words struck me.
The hero’s position in this world is incredibly important.
And I might have taken the power of this Love Hotel too lightly.
But still──
”Tifi, you have helped me many times. And I’m counting on you from now on.”
I continued speaking while looking straight into Tifi’s eyes.
”And I love you. So please, accept it.”
Tifi’s face turned bright red.
She glanced down for a moment, then looked back at me firmly.
”…Yes!”
I sighed in relief at Tifi’s reply.
”From now on… no, I will work even harder to help Mr. Taro!”
I can see Tifi’s eyes sparkling with determination.
Her serious look makes me smile naturally.
”Ah, I’m counting on you.”
When I nod lightly, Tifi gives a small smile.
I feel strong with her by my side, and I’m happy that we can move forward together.

After that, we decided to check the functions of the new card key we got.
First, we found out that Tifi can freely take the card in and out just by thinking about it.
It disappears when not in use and can be taken out when needed.
It’s great that there’s no worry about losing it or it being stolen.
And importantly, the door that Tifi opens with the card key leads to the same room I would go to.
Whether I open the door in the Dungeon or Tifi opens it from above ground, we end up in the same Love Hotel room.
This means we can meet directly by going through the Love Hotel between the Dungeon and the surface.
We also checked where the door leads when opened from inside the room.
It seems the place where the last person opened the door becomes the next door’s location.
For example, if I open a door in the Dungeon and then return to the room, the door that opens will lead back to the Dungeon.
On the other hand, if Tifi uses the door to enter the room from above ground, when she opens the door from inside, it leads back to the surface.
This system is revolutionary for Dungeon exploration.
Even if I’m surrounded by monsters and can’t leave the Love Hotel, if Tifi opens the door from above, I can escape safely anytime.
This makes having Tifi on the surface even more beneficial.
I won’t have to think about the time it takes to return.
In fact, from the second time onward, I can skip the travel time completely.
If I want to go to the surface, I just need Tifi to open the door, and if I want to continue exploring, I can open the door myself.
Plus, if I give Lifia a card key, the destinations will increase even more.
There’s no doubt that our future adventures will be easier.
Of course, the biggest benefit is that I can have sex with Tifi every day while exploring the Dungeon.
”So, I can meet Mr. Taro anytime now…”
Tifi looks at the golden card and whispers happily.
Seeing her expression makes me feel sorry for always leaving her behind on the surface.
I place my hands on my hips and gently pull her closer.
”Ah, from now on, I’ll take good care of you every night.”
”Eh… Mr. Taro, you’re so… but yes, please take care of me!”
Tifi’s shy but happy face makes me smile without thinking.
”Also, about using this card…”
”Yes! I will definitely not show it to anyone!”
Tifi nods seriously.
Her caution is reassuring, but I need to correct her a bit.
”That’s important, but it’s not absolute.”
”Huh…?”
Tifi tilts her head.
Watching her, I continue in a serious voice.
”If you’re ever in danger, use it without hesitation and escape here. I don’t care if someone sees you. Your safety is the most important.”
Tifi’s eyes glisten, and her cheeks turn a light pink.
”Mr. Taro… thank you. Really… thank you!”
Her voice is filled with gratitude and trust.
I can feel how important my words are to her.
”Alright, now we’re all set. I’ll be counting on you, Tifi.”
”Yes! I will do my best!”
Tifi’s strong reply makes me renew my determination inside.
No matter what challenges lie ahead, I feel like we can overcome them together.
