Volume 3 Chapter 29
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
The one who emerged from the Kichijoji Dungeon was a beauty with a striking black-haired princess cut, dressed in a kimono—none other than Sakurako-san of ‘Resonant Melody.’
She had entered the dungeon to trade information with Minami-chan, who had been scouting ahead, but as she walked out, her expression was unreadable—neither good nor bad.
”I managed to get a hold of Minami inside… The seven women being held are unharmed for now, no signs of abuse. That’s a relief, but… unfortunately, it seems Aina is being held separately in a cave guarded by the ‘KSK Three’ leaders. We don’t know her current status. I took a quick look at the entrance myself, but it’s going to be tough for me, or even Minami, to slip in there. There’s someone inside who seems to have a high-level ‘Presence Detection’ skill.”
That was the situation.
For some reason, Aina-chan was being kept in a different location than the others.
”Minami was pushing for Plan B… which means we storm in head-on and crush them with a flashy, full-scale assault. While we create the chaos, Minami will rescue the seven captives and secure them in a safe zone. The downside is the uncertainty surrounding Aina’s rescue, but since we can’t sneak into her holding area, we can’t afford to waste time, or Aina’s purity might be compromised.”
The group gathered listened to Sakurako-san’s report with grim, serious expressions.
Then, the Guild Master spoke up.
”I agree with moving forward with Plan B. The ability user manipulating the ‘Phase Six’ monsters and the other two ‘KSK Three’ leaders might be troublesome, but the rest of their forces are at most ‘Phase Five’ upper-level—most likely just ‘Phase Four.’ If that’s the case, our current forces should be able to overwhelm them in an instant.”
She swept her gaze over the elite members assembled for the Kichijoji Dungeon raid.
Leading the charge was me from ‘Resonant Melody,’ along with Mana, Haruka-san, and Maria-san, backed by our sub-members—the downer-gyaru Hiyori-san and the white-gyaru Ruri-san.
Behind them stood a legion of explorers who had grown into the ‘Phase Five’ lower-level tier, their expressions radiating confidence.
Naturally, many of them were women I had personally trained using (Pressure Point) and (Rod-Type Pressure Point). They weren’t just ‘Phase Five’ in level; many held [Unique Jobs] with special, devastating skills.
With this team, even a raid this difficult should be a guaranteed success.
It seemed Plan B was officially set, but then Mana raised her hand.
”These are villains who would kidnap women from ‘New Tokyo.’ I fully support storming the front and crushing every last one of them, but we need to take a few extra measures to ensure nothing happens to Aina.”
”I agree, Mana. I’m with you on that…”
”Yes, Guild Master. The key to this raid will be how we contain that ‘Phase Six’ monster—specifically the Black Dragon in the lower levels. Sakurako-san and I could probably hold it off, but if we want to avoid collateral damage to the other members, Kanade-kun needs to take that role.”
Mana turned her gaze toward me.
”Yeah, I have no problem taking on the Black Dragon. I should be able to control the trajectory of its breath attacks and keep it suppressed even in a head-on confrontation. If it’s just one, I should be able to take it down without too much trouble. Of course, I can’t afford to let my guard down.”
”Exactly. As soon as that brown-haired man or the Black Dragon appears, Kanade-kun, please focus entirely on them. For the other two ‘KSK’ members, Sakurako-san and I will handle them just to be safe. And then… Haruka and Maria-san, both at ‘Phase Six’ levels, will use [Wraith Potion] to cloak themselves and infiltrate deep into the enemy lines to intervene if they turn their attention to Aina… Does that sound acceptable?”
No one voiced an objection to Mana’s plan.
Seeing that, the Guild Master clapped her hands together.
”Good. Then we proceed with the raid once night falls. Everyone, get some proper rest until then…”
It’s not as if there’s a day-night cycle inside the dungeon, but humans are hardwired to sleep at night and be active during the day.
Even if it doesn’t offer the tactical advantage of a ‘night raid’ in the traditional sense, for us, it was the best way to get our people in top shape.
And so, we spent the time until the hour of the operation resting our bodies.

Summary:
Sakurako returns from scouting Kichijoji Dungeon with a grim status report. The team decides on a full-scale frontal assault, dubbed Plan B, to rescue Aina and the other captives. Specific roles are assigned to the elites, with Kanade tasked to manage the Black Dragon and the main combatants neutralizing the KSK leadership.

Trivia:
The dungeon has no natural light-dark cycle, but the team still adheres to a human circadian rhythm for mental and physical preparedness.
The KSK Three are identified as the primary threat, with the leader specifically guarding Aina.
The team utilizes specialized training methods involving Pressure Points to empower non-combatants.
