Chapter 58 Anomaly
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
…Tester Life Day 21 – My Room – Sanada Yakumo…
I woke from a nightmare where Lilith was pinning my nipples with clothespins-and I was actually enjoying it-only to find Sheena’s mouth wrapped firmly around my c*ck.
Sayaka’s head was buried in my chest. I looked down to see what she was up to, and realized she was busy lapping at my nipples.
”Are you the one responsible for the dream?” I started to ask, but all that came out was a pathetic, breathless wheeze. Between my d*ck and my chest, the sheer amount of pleasure being pumped into my brain was making me let out some very strange noises.
Apparently, Sheena was on morning bl**job duty today, while Sayaka was in charge of nipple play. Every time Sayaka’s tongue flicked over me or her fingers pinched and teased, a fresh jolt of electricity shot down my spine. Combined with the relentless vacuum of Sheena’s mouth, it didn’t take long for me to hit my limit.
As I came, Sayaka backed off the nipple attack and pressed her heavy breasts against me instead. I didn’t hesitate to start nursing on them. She’d probably seen me doing the same to Sheena last night while I finished and decided she wanted in on the action.
Once I was spent, Sheena finally pulled away. She used a finger to scoop up the stray semen leaking from her mouth and trailing down her chin, then licked it clean. Her face was as expressionless as ever, but the gesture was incredibly erotic.
With my daily morning release out of the way, I hopped in the shower. Sayaka brushed my teeth and shaved my face for me while Sheena meticulously scrubbed every inch of my body.
I had to suppress a bitter smile; I felt like some kind of ancient king. After drying myself off, I pulled on the neatly folded underwear and sweats they’d laid out and headed to the living room.
While the girls dried their hair, I got breakfast ready. “Ready” meant buying food from the Shop and lining it up on the table, but still. We ate while watching a DVD, and while Sayaka brewed the coffee, I slipped into the service room.
I grabbed the ten portable batteries I’d left charging on the power strip during my day off and headed to the front door. Yuki and his crew were already waiting. I handed over the fresh batteries.
”Thank you, Guard,” Yuki said.
”Really, thanks!” the others chimed in.
”Don’t sweat it,” I said. “I just plugged them in and let them sit. It’s no big deal.”
Yuki looked genuinely relieved as he took them, while the rest of the Battle Sports Club members bowed in unison. Looking at them, their school uniforms were in rough shape. They were wearing leather armor and vests, so I couldn’t see their torsos, but their pants and sleeves were shredded. The other students gathering around the fountain didn’t look much better. Kobold claws and fangs had clearly taken their toll.
”Here’s the charging fee for our group,” Yuki said, handing over ten Magic Stones. “Also… could we ask you to handle these too?”
He held out a bag containing ten more batteries and a plastic pouch of Magic Stones. The batteries had names like “Baseball Club” or “Kendo Club” scrawled on them in permanent marker. These belonged to the Capture Groups¹-the students currently pushing into the 3rd Floor.
It looked like they were taking my advice: using the charging service to build clout and forge ties with the other top parties.
”I’ll have them ready by tomorrow morning,” I told him. “You don’t all need to show up to collect them.”
”Understood,” Yuki replied.
”So,” I leaned in. “Did you spread the word about the Wall-Butt² rewards?”
”Yeah, everyone was floored,” Yuki said. “They kept demanding proof.”
”I told as many people as I could,” another student added, “but most of them think it’s too good to be true.”
”My buddies believed me,” a third one piped up. “They’re already talking about being ‘extra nice’ to the Wall-Butt succubi.”
”Well, we’ve seen the real deal,” a fourth shrugged. “We’ve been going in with our pants down and treating them like queens since the day before yesterday.”
”You’re a ‘one-minute wonder,’ though,” his friend teased. “Your ‘kindness’ doesn’t last very long.”
”Shut up! Six rounds in thirty minutes is perfectly normal!” the student yelled.
”No, it really isn’t,” the group deadpanned.
I let out a low chuckle. “Whatever keeps your DP costs down. Here, Yuki-take a picture of this.”
I pulled out my phone and pulled up the photos of Sheena in her maid outfit and her sundress, then flicked over to the screen showing the Magic Crystal’s reward log for the Wall-Butt. I let Yuki snap some photos of the screen. He could distribute them to the club via USB or let them take their own shots later.
”This is perfect,” Yuki said. “This’ll shut up the skeptics.”
”Make sure the word gets out. Now, what about the price hike from yesterday?” I asked.
”It’s hitting the 1st Floor ‘safeties’ hard,” Yuki reported. “Most of them migrated to the 2nd Floor yesterday, so it’s a total mosh pit down there now. The teachers were planning to trade info on the 2nd Floor Guardian to regain some control last night, but we got wind of it and leaked the strategy to the other groups first.”
I laughed. “Nice.”
So they were freezing out Oida and his cronies to stop them from skimming points. Smart kids.
”The Magic Stone tax doubled, too,” Yuki continued, his expression darkening. “Two F-rank stones per head. A lot of people can’t pay, and more are just flat-out refusing. Plus, the teachers told the 3rd Floor parties they had to start handing over Kobold stones specifically.”
”Right. You guys were hunting Horn Rabbits on the side just to hide the fact that you were even on the 3rd Floor, weren’t you?” I noted.
”Yeah. We gave them what they wanted yesterday, but I don’t know how much longer we can keep it up,” Yuki said. “Between the embezzlement rumors and the fact that people are getting mauled every day, the mood in the clubs is turning sour. People are asking why we’re risking our lives to feed a bunch of deadbeats who stay in the safe zone.”
”It’s a fair point,” I said. “You’ve been supporting them since the start. No one’s going to blame you if you cut them off now. Anyway, I’ve got the gist of it. Keep the batteries coming; I can handle up to twenty at a time.”
”Thank you, Guard. I’ll keep my ear to the ground and stay close to the people we can trust,” Yuki said.
”Do that. I’ve got to get ready. See ya,” I finished.
I waved them off and headed back inside. I finished my coffee, suited up in the service room, gave Sayaka and Sheena a goodbye kiss, and headed for the dungeon.
I took the teleportation array to the 7th Floor and summoned Rock. He greeted me with his usual panting and a frantic wag of his tail. I gave him a quick pat on the head, and we set off.
We began mapping the 7th Floor. Whenever we hit a group of Goblins, I sent Rock in like a wrecking ball and cleaned up whatever he sent flying. It was the same routine as the 6th Floor. The next few days passed in a blur of steady, successful exploration.

…Test Dungeon 3rd Floor – Baseball Club Party – Captain Wakamiya Hayate…
”Man, I am wiped~ssu!” Matsuki yelled.
”Matsuki, get your head in the game. We’re on the way out, but we’re still in the dungeon,” I warned.
I was pulling rear-guard duty, keeping an eye on our 6 o’clock, while Matsuki-a second-year-was trudging ahead of me, rubbing his shoulder. Our vice-captain, Noda, who was leading the pack with his shield, shot a sharp look back at him.
It was true that we couldn’t afford to be sloppy this deep in the caves, but the 3rd Floor had gotten crowded lately. With so many parties clearing the paths, the chances of running into a fresh Kobold spawn on the way back were pretty low. Still, Noda was the team’s catcher; keeping everyone in line was in his DNA.
”Ugh, sorry, Vice-Cap~ssu,” Matsuki muttered.
”Noda’s right,” I added. “Kobolds love an ambush, and after what happened on the 2nd Floor, we know other parties aren’t above dragging a train of monsters right into us.”
”Man, don’t remind me~ssu,” Matsuki groaned. “If I have to deal with another ‘surprise’ like that, I’m gonna lose it.”
”Seriously,” another player chimed in. “I’m still pissed at that moron Inoue from the Kickboxing club. ‘I didn’t feel like fighting them one by one, so I figured you guys could handle the pile.’ What a prick.”
A week ago, Inoue’s group had led six Horn Rabbits right to us before ditching. We’d never fought that many at once, but we’d managed to back against a wall and use Noda as a tank. Luckily, our primary weapons were metal bats-perfect for swatting those things out of the air. Matsuki and our other heavy hitters had turned it into batting practice.
When we’d confronted them back on the 1st Floor, they just shrugged and said that’s how it goes when it’s crowded. If Coach Sayama hadn’t stepped in, it would have turned into a bench-clearing brawl.
”Maybe we should ask the Guard to tune them up again?” a student asked.
The group erupted in snickers. “Oh man, that story was classic,” another replied.
”Right? Inoue and his goons were using a freshman as a punching bag, and the Guard just walks up and asks if he can ‘join in.’ Then he absolutely dismantled them,” someone added.
”I totally had the wrong idea about that guy until Yuki told us the truth,” I admitted. I’d believed Inoue’s story about being “ambushed” at first, but it sounded exactly like something Inoue would do. Yuki said the Guard had been helping them out a lot lately.
”He did the same to those rich second-year pricks, too, didn’t he?” a student asked.
”Yeah, the ones whose parents tried to sue the school,” another answered. “Then the admin showed them the footage of the bullying and they tucked tail and ran.”
”Guess you can’t judge a book by its cover,” one muttered.
”I honestly thought he was ex-Yakuza or something,” another said.
”I heard he spent a long time overseas. Either way, the guy is a beast. He cleared the 5th Floor solo, right? And then he bought Tsukigase from the swimming club~ssu…” Matsuki started.
”Matsuki! Shut it!” I barked.
The name was a curse word within the Baseball Club. Matsuki froze, realizing he’d overstepped, and shot a terrified look at Noda’s back.
”Don’t worry about it. I’m over it,” Noda said with a dry laugh.
”S-See! I told you~ssu!” Matsuki tried to recover. “There are plenty of other fish in the sea! Just leave it to me, the future Home Run King of Koshien! I won’t let any more of our guys get cucked by-“
I tapped Matsuki on the head with my bat. “Matsuki. Shut. Up. Or the next one won’t be a ‘tap.’”
Matsuki saw the look in my eyes and nodded frantically, clutching his head. Noda and the others just shook their heads.
Idiot. He knew Noda had been rejected by Tsukigase back in the spring. He had no filter and zero sense of the mood. Noda had been a wreck when we found out the Guard had ‘bought’ her. Everything Noda had done in this dungeon was to get strong enough to save her.
But now, we were fighting for something else. We were fighting to save the girls who were still with us-like Yumi. Yumi, our manager, who had been by my side through everything. I wasn’t going to lose her. None of us were. We were all popular after the Koshien run, and we weren’t going to let some monster “claim” our girlfriends.
We were joking around to keep the nerves down, about an hour away from the Teleportation Array, when we heard it.
”Help! Someone! Please!”
”Is anyone there?! Kobolds! They’re everywhere!”
The screams were coming from a side-tunnel we were about to pass.
”Wait… is that the freshmen?!” I asked.
”Yeah, that’s Higuchi’s voice!” Noda yelled.
There was no mistake. Our club was so big we had to split into six parties; Higuchi was leading the all-freshman squad.
”That tunnel leads to a Monster House³!” Noda yelled.
”Did those idiots go inside~ssu?!” Matsuki asked.
”No way, they only got to the 3rd Floor two days ago. Listen-the fighting is outside the room. Move! Now!” I ordered.
I didn’t wait. I charged into the side tunnel, Noda and Matsuki right on my heels.
We rounded the final corner and skidded to a halt. It was a nightmare. Higuchi’s team was surrounded, battered and bleeding, by a swarm of nearly twenty Kobolds.
We froze for a split second at the sheer impossibility of the numbers-then the adrenaline kicked in.
”Noda! Baba! Matsuki! Into the gap!” I screamed. “Everyone else, cover them! Get those kids out of there!”
”ON IT!” Noda yelled.
”LET’S GOOOOO!” Matsuki roared ssu.
The seven of us-a mix of second and third-years-gripped our bats and dove headlong into the snarling pack of monsters.
