The instant Kang Hyunwoo's swordsmanship turned the rusted knight into dust, Noel, who was ready to dash out at any moment, couldn't hide her bewilderment.
'This is absurd…'
Even though Noel's power was restricted by the app, her intuition for judging opponents hadn't disappeared.
The rusted knight was by no means a weak opponent. If she were to divide them by the ranks Kang Hyunwoo mentioned, he would be at least B-rank.
For such an opponent to be defeated without much difficulty by a mere Second Circle mage was not just surprising, but downright ridiculous.
The skeleton, presumed to be a necromancer, was dealt with by Kang Hyunwoo without much resistance after his summoned creature, created with most of his magic power, was killed.
This confirmed it.
Kang Hyunwoo was beyond the norm.
Not only was he layering multiple support spells with an amount of magic power unbelievable for a Second Circle mage, but he also unleashed four consecutive spells of high power that were hardly recognizable as fireballs. It was a performance impossible for a Second Circle mage.
Of course, up to that point, she could understand to some extent.
He was the app's owner, after all.
But what was that swordsmanship that didn't look like a mage at all?
'A mage is boosting the output of support magic to an absurd degree to compensate for lacking physical abilities and fighting a knight in close combat…?'
The reason support magic consumes a lot of magic power is because it continuously drains magic power.
To use multiple such spells simultaneously while also increasing the output?
Now, even attempting to gauge Kang Hyunwoo's magic power limit seemed foolish.
With the situation like this, the facts she had considered strange until now began to make sense.
The fact that he was blasting high-powered magic from the rear while minimizing magic power consumption was really just the right amount of magic in his standards, and the fact that he, as a mage, never missed taking care of his sword whenever he rested was really because he was a swordsman.
Noel stared blankly at Kang Hyunwoo sheathing his sword.
His figure, wiping the sweat trickling down his chin with the back of his hand, particularly caught her eye.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and come."
"…Yes."

*Ding-*
[You have defeated the High Skeleton Mage]
[First Clear Reward: 300 Coins]
Though she had caught a new monster, she wasn't really interested in the first clear reward.
300 coins at this point? Frankly, catching several weak monsters was much better in terms of coin acquisition.
Besides, even though it was a dating app, the coins rewarded for meeting Iris or Cheon Yeohwa seemed particularly low.
Still, since there weren't many uses for the coins themselves, she wasn't too dissatisfied.
Rather, she was more interested in this.
[Information on the newly acquired item is being collected]
[Cursed Obsidian Pendant]
[Rank: Rare]
[Consumes magic power to imbue magic and weapons with the element of darkness]
[You can now use 'Black Curse']
[You can now use 'Weak Domination']
Unlike the dagger from last time, this time she hit the jackpot.
She got an artifact that she could use right away.
Frankly, she was worried about getting the staff the skeleton was using, but thankfully that didn't happen.
As far as she knew, staves were out of fashion among mages these days.
Wands were preferred, so staves didn't sell well even if put up for auction, and even if they did, they didn't fetch much money.
"But still, the element of darkness, huh…"
The element of darkness was one of the least used elements, as rare as the element of lightning.
As such, not much was known about it, except that it was the opposite of the element of light and a difficult element that rejected divine power.
As proof, she tried to imbue Gillennium with the element of darkness, but.
[The spirit of exorcism contained in Gillennium rejects the element of darkness]
It was rejected like this.
Besides, imbuing magic with the element of darkness didn't work well either. She was already using the element of fire, and adding another element on top of that was no different from hoping that the fire wouldn't go out even after dumping a bucket of water on it.
"Sigh."
Dual casting was much better.
Of course, there was the problem that it consumed more brain resources than normal magic, but it was better than putting two elements into one spell.
Looking at the necklace that didn't even help with auxiliary calculations, she wondered if this was really an artifact.
With a deep sigh, she put the pendant into her inventory.
What was important now wasn't the artifact, but heading to the 3rd floor.
She took the key that came out after catching the High Skeleton Mage and brought it to the stone gate.
*Kooong-*
With a massive vibration, the stone gate opened to the left and right.
Once again, a huge cloud of dust swirled, revealing a spiral staircase leading downwards.
"Wow… it looks incredibly deep."
Noel, looking at the stairs leading down with a look of wonder, her small voice echoing endlessly, was she aware?
That we have to go down there from now on.
***
"Heh, heh… C-customer… can't we rest for a bit before going…? "
"Just bear with it a little longer."
As I expected, it wasn't long before Noel was groaning.
At first, it seemed like she was faking it, but looking at her expression, she really seemed to be struggling.
Just covering her lower body with magic power would make marching easy, wouldn't it?
"My legs hurt…"
"Use magic power, I said?"
"I'm almost out of magic power!"
"Use it all up. We're resting overnight once we get to the bottom anyway."
"…Still, I can't."
"Why?"
The sound of footsteps following behind stopped.
Turning my head, Noel, her face somehow flushed, was hesitating.
"…My body…"
"What?"
"I-if my magic power runs out, I become naked…"
"…?"
For a moment, I felt like I had been hit in the head with a hammer.
"The leotard I'm wearing is a magical tool… it enhances my physical abilities while I'm wearing it, but it consumes magic power…"
In other words, if her magic power ran out, the leotard would disappear with it, leaving her naked.
Why the hell was she wearing something like that?
"Don't you even have underwear on?"
"…"
How should I deal with this perverted rabbit?
"Haa… change into this."
I took out a suitable set of clothes from my inventory and handed it to Noel.
I brought this to give to Iris, but it's okay since I have plenty of clothes. A top and bottom set is fine.
"…Um."
"What?"
"Do you have underwear…? "
If it was something I bought to give to Iris, I had it.
But it was a size that only foreigners would buy. No, according to the department store employee, it was something that foreigners didn't even buy, so it was stuck in the warehouse.
Noel was definitely busty beyond the level of an average Asian woman, but that didn't mean she could compete with Iris.
"…Wear this instead."
"Gasp! A p-pervert carrying women's underwear…?!"
"Just go naked then."
"Kyaa, gasp?! I-I'm sorry!!"
When I tried to forcefully take off her leotard, Noel screamed and ran away. Even in the midst of all that, I couldn't help but chuckle as she snatched the panties from my hand.
Thanks to the spiral structure of the stairs, there was no need for a separate changing room. Even if you went up a little, you couldn't see the top from below.
"How is it?"
Noel, her face flushed, came down the stairs wearing a white hoodie and shorts that exposed her thighs.
I liked the bunny girl outfit she was wearing before, but this suited her well too.
I scanned her up and down for a moment before averting my gaze.
"From now on, follow me while using magic power. The faster we go down, the longer we can rest."
"…Yes."
***
It wasn't certain, but there was only one place in this dungeon that could be called a safe zone.
"Is it really safe here?"
"Probably?"
We hadn't encountered any monsters while passing through the stairs so far.
Even if a passing monster accidentally came down the stairs, there was no need to worry separately because I had set up alarm magic in advance.
After roughly finishing the meal, I set up the tent.
It was convenient that I didn't have to set up two tents because I bought a 4-person tent just in case.
"We have to leave again in five hours, so don't do anything else and go to sleep quickly."
"Yes."
As soon as I lay down in the tent, drowsiness washed over me.
[Remaining matching time: 132:34:17]
There were only about five days and 5 hours left.
I should have more than enough time to deal with the boss of the 3rd floor and escape from the underground complex.
I was worried about what would happen after that, but because the fatigue that had accumulated until now was covering me all at once, my eyelids were becoming heavier and heavier, making it difficult to endure.
Everything went dark.

Before long, Kang Hyunwoo fell into a deep sleep.
On the other hand, Noel's mind was clearer than usual.
"Haa, haa…♡"
Her lower abdomen was throbbing, so she couldn't possibly fall asleep.
It definitely wasn't this bad until just now, but the situation changed drastically as she lay in the same tent as Kang Hyunwoo.
"Sigh…haa…♡"
The strong scent of a male filling the tent in an instant made her nose tingle, and her crotch even became itchy.
Eventually, unable to endure, Noel carefully got up from her spot and approached Kang Hyunwoo.
"C-customer, are you asleep…? "
She called out to Kang Hyunwoo in a small voice like an ant crawling, but he didn't even flinch.
Just in case, she poked his cheek with her finger, but he was still fast asleep.
*Gulp…*
Noel swallowed hard, then laid down next to Kang Hyunwoo.
At first, she lay down keeping about two handspans of distance, but as the scent grew stronger and stronger, Noel eventually narrowed the distance little by little and clung completely to Kang Hyunwoo.
Noel glanced at Kang Hyunwoo every now and then and slowly took off her pants, but whether it was a mistake or intentional, her pure white underwear came down with them.
Noel's face, having revealed her pussy in front of a strange man in an instant, turned red as if it would explode at any moment.
She didn't know how to describe this feeling of revealing her most secret place in front of a man.
Guilt? Liberation?
She didn't know. She didn't know, but regardless of that, she couldn't stop her hand from going down between her legs.
*Sizzle-*
"Heup?!♡"
Noel, her self-control already bottoming out, rubbed around the entrance of her vagina with her slender fingers and continued to masturbate as usual.
Normally, this alone would be enough to reach climax, but today she was unusually dissatisfied.
It was definitely much more sensitive than usual, but the pleasure she felt was minimal.
Compared to when Kang Hyunwoo rubbed her lower abdomen, it felt like child's play.
Still, she was too scared to try putting her fingers inside.
'W-what should I do…'
Even as she worried, her heated body seemed to be protesting, and her throbbing lower abdomen felt hotter and hotter.
In a situation where she didn't know what to do, what she could trust and rely on was her instincts.
Her instincts as a beastkin, and a horny rabbitkin at that, made her move.
She moved her body towards the place where the scent that had been throbbing her lower abdomen was the strongest, and that was between Kang Hyunwoo's legs.
"…H-he won't wake up, will he?"
With a plea to no one, Noel reached for Kang Hyunwoo's pants.
After undoing the tightly fastened belt and buttons and even taking off the tightly fitting underwear, a penis she had never seen before was revealed.
Even though it was limp, the size was enormous.
Without even realizing it, Noel imagined that serpentine penis ruthlessly digging between her legs.
Just that imagination alone made her pussy gush out.
Furthermore, the smell coming from the penis was so strong that she thought her nose would be crooked in an instant.
"Haa, haa…heuueup…puhhaa…♡"
She knew in her head that she shouldn't be doing this, but her body simply wouldn't listen.
She buried her nose in Kang Hyunwoo's balls and took deep breaths.
Her head felt like it was turning blank, but she didn't stop.
Rather, she boldly rubbed her pussy and soothed herself.
*Squelch squelch♡*
With a sticky sound, Noel reached climax, feeling blissful pleasure from her own touch.
*Spurt spurt-*
At the same time, Kang Hyunwoo's penis spewed out thick semen.
It was an amount that was hard to even hold in her mouth, let alone swallow, but once again, Noel had no intention of spitting out the penis.
"Slurp, slurp…gulp, gulp, gulp…♡"
That much semen flowed down Noel's slender throat and into her stomach.
After that, Noel even sucked up the remaining semen in the urethra and finished her satisfying midnight snack.
But her lust wasn't completely resolved yet.
Rather, to soothe her body, which was even hotter than before, she once again held Kang Hyunwoo's penis in her mouth, but.
*Thud-*
Someone's hand strongly grabbed her long ears.
"What are you doing?"
"…Hiccup?!♡"
The poor rabbit, her ears grabbed by a rough hand, lightly trembled her waist as she spewed out a mess between her legs.
