"What are you up to?" Dawn suddenly asks me out of nowhere.

I pause what I am doing to answer, "I am placing void bombs throughout the open space of the fourth floor."

"Oh?" Dawn says while watching me place the black orbs periodically throughout the fourth floor.

I had realized at some point that the fourth floor was severely lacking in the traps department, so I decided that it was the perfect place to implement my new void bombs.

Now the intruders won't be able to just take a relaxing stroll throughout the fourth floor inbetween the wolf dens and goblin villages and instead will have to be wary about the traps scattered throughout the floor.

Dawn continues watching me for a few more minutes before a group of intruders enters the dungeon and catches her attention.

I shoot a brief glance at the intruders before going back to placing void bombs.

"I wish I could reach CL 4 sooner so that I can begin working on a fifth floor," I mumble after seeing the place I marked to be the staircase to the fifth floor whenever I make one.

I already have quite a few ideas that I would like to try for the fifth floor.

Not to mention the new bipedal wolf monsters that I created.

I stop setting up traps and turn my attention towards Dawn as I ask, "Hey Dawn, do you think I should just implement the bipedal wolves in the fourth floor?"

Dawn shifts her attention to me from the intruders before saying, "Nah, you should leave them as a surprise on the fifth floor. Besides, the fourth floor already introduces two new monsters."

"Oh yeah, that's true," I mutter before thanking her and going back to setting up traps.

The fourth floor already has a new monster in the beowolf, as well as the hard-skinned hobgoblins.

I should leave the bipedal wolves to the fifth floor.

"Now, on to the reason why I asked you here!" Damien says, completely blowing over what had just happened.

Wait, is no one going to explain?

Damien turns to me with a serious look on his face as he says, "You haven't had very much time to go into the dungeon, have you?"

I guess he is going to just disregard what happened.

Wait, go into the dungeon?

"I guess I haven't had the time," I mutter before asking, "Why do you ask?"

Damien gives me a blank look before turning to the others.

The others just wordlessly nod in agreement.

He then puts his head into his hands and groans.

"You really should take some time to go into the dungeon and get some EXP on a more regular basis," Damien says in an exhausted tone of voice.

I look at Damien and say, "That's true, but it's not as easy as you'd think."

"I have been buried in paperwork ever since I first left the dungeon. Not to mention the nonstop requests that I have been getting," I continue with a shrug.

Damien sighs and says, "That can be fixed rather easily just by having Aidan assist you with the paperwork."

I open my mouth to respond before pausing and closing it again.

He has a point.

Why didn't I think of that?

I turn towards Aidan as a smile slowly emerges on my face.

Aidan stiffens up the second he sees me looking at him.

"That sounds like a good idea," I say without hiding my intentions.

Aidan opens his mouth to say something but ultimately closes it again with a sigh.

He then shakes his head in defeat and says, "Okay, I will help you with the paperwork."

"Thank you," I tell him before turning back to Damien and saying, "Now I should have the time to go to the dungeon."

Damien looks amused after seeing my interaction with Aidan.

"That's good," Damien says with a chuckle before adding, "It only makes sense that the City Lord gets to use the dungeon within his own city, right?"

I chuckle and say, "That's true, I guess."

"It's about time we went back in," Pallus says enthusiastically.

Kat nods her head in agreement before saying, "True, it was getting a little boring around here."

Pallus turns to look at Damien and asks, "By the way, do you know where Rose has been?"

Damien gets a strange look on his face as he says, "Uh, she has been working as an instructor for the Guild's newest recruits."

Kat, Pallus and I all turn and give him a blank stare.

Rose?

An instructor?
