My Gift Is “Beauty”. I Think It’s Useless, but It Seems to Be an S-Rank Gift With the Strongest Buff Effect for Beautiful Girls - Chapter 29: Dungeon Tour (1)

Chapter 29: Dungeon Tour (1)

“Whoa!?”

“Eek!?”

About three weeks had passed.

Big changes had come to Himari and Umirin’s bodies.

“We… look so gorgeous…”

Waking up at their respective homes, the two were amazed at how their skin had completely transformed. They gazed at their reflections in the mirror, enchanted.

“Hiroyo…”

“I get why Hibiki fell for him…”

A man with a superpower that fulfills women’s dreams.

Hiroyo’s skill had an incredible effect, and its backlash was so intense that even the top-tier girls like Himari and Umirin were captivated.

Lately, their minds were constantly filled with pink thoughts.

Treatment, then sex. Treatment, then sex. Repeated six times, it was tough on Hiroyo. Plus, Hibiki was there too.

He didn’t often do it with Koharu and Kirino together. But three weeks in a row like this was taking a toll on his body.

◇ ◇ ◇

A few days later.

“H-Hiroyo-kun looks worn out…”

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah, somehow…”

In the classroom, Koharu and Kirino were worried about Hiroyo. His cheeks looked sunken.

He appeared drained of energy, but an unexpected change had also occurred to someone else.

“Aren’t they sticking too close…?”

“It’s fine. We can’t be all over Hiroyo at school, so.”

“Then me too~”

At school, Himari and Umirin were always near Hibiki, but since the treatments, they’d been glued to her. Their skin was glossy and smooth.

Unable to hold back, Himari had pounced on Hibiki. The next week, when Umirin went first for treatment, she too, seeking release from the backlash, pounced on Hibiki.

As a result, the already close trio grew even closer. But Hibiki, being the one pounced on, looked a bit annoyed.

The sight of the three alluring girls made the boys around them quite aroused.

And no wonder. Three already attractive girls weren’t just playfully giggling together—they were giving off serious lesbian vibes, which naturally stirred things up below.

“By the way, it’s tomorrow, right?”

“Hm?”

“Dungeon Tour.”

“Oh, yeah, it’s already that day.”

Hiroyo had decided to go on ‘Dungeon Tour.’

Hibiki invited him, and Asami gave him a push.

With his current gift, meeting Hibiki and the others made him feel happy with his life. But his envy of adventurers and longing for dungeons hadn’t faded.

He’d been avoiding adventurer-related topics and couldn’t watch news much, carrying some pain in his heart.

So, though he wasn’t sure how he’d feel, he decided to go on ‘Dungeon Tour,’ hoping to move forward, even slightly, from his trauma-like feelings.

“It’s a mid-tier C-rank dungeon, right?”

“Yup.”

“If anything happens, I’ll protect you, so don’t worry.”

“Kirino, you’re so reliable.”

Kirino’s gift held incredible power.

With her there, any issues should be fine. Plus, the escorts were two groups of A-rank adventurers. Kirino likely wouldn’t need to step in.

“Oh, we need to prepare bentos.”

“Can I help?”

“Sure. Come to my place early in the morning, and we’ll leave before noon.”

“Got it!”

Dungeon Tour included a lunch break in the plan.

It wasn’t just about walking people through. For Dungeon Camping, food was provided, but regular Dungeon Tour required bringing your own bento.

“I’m excited.”

“Yeah. I need to sleep early to recover my stolen stamina…”

Hiroyo was only worried about his physical condition.

◇ ◇ ◇

‘Dungeon Tour’ is a travel plan run by JTD (Japan Travel Dungeon), a company specializing in dungeons.

Ten years after the Adventurers’ Guild Association was established to manage adventurers and dungeons nationwide, JTD was founded about twenty years ago. Escorting adventurers are dispatched to JTD through the guild.

But dungeons had a big issue.

Crimes committed inside rarely became public.

No signals reach dungeons, and deaths are often treated as monster-related accidents. Only those present know the truth. Videos or photos on devices could serve as evidence, but if the person dies, it’s meaningless.

Crimes have happened in the past. Some cases even became unsolved mysteries due to the dungeon’s nature.

Thus, for Dungeon Tour, the most reliable factor is the escorting adventurers. But what if those adventurers weren’t trustworthy—

In a dark warehouse, a man holding a dagger looked down at a man bound with ropes at his mouth, hands, and feet.

“—Heh heh heh, sorry. It’s just business… Oh, don’t worry. This is just paralyzing poison. You won’t move for a day…”

“Mm! Mm!”

The man explained with a laugh, then sheathed the dagger at his waist.

The bound man tried to speak but couldn’t due to the gag.

The man then reached his right hand toward the bound man’s face.

“—I’m borrowing your face and voice.”

His hand glowed red as he touched the bound man’s cheek.

Nothing seemed to happen from that alone.

But the man smiled with satisfaction, the red glow fading as he pulled his hand away.

“See ya.”

“Mm!!”

The man left the warehouse.

The bound man was left alone, unable to move due to the ropes and paralysis.

◇ ◇ ◇

The day of Dungeon Tour arrived.

Hiroyo and the others met at Hibiki’s house, took trains, and arrived at the meeting spot.

—Shinjuku Gyoen.

Today, they’d enter a dungeon through a gate that appeared in a part of the park.

At the meeting spot, about twenty other regular people were already gathered.

They were buzzing with excitement, eagerly awaiting the departure time.

Then—

“Eh, Mizuki-nee!?”

“Well, if it isn’t Hibiki.”

“So you’re escorting—”

“Us three from Tenchi Guild.”

There stood Hosaka Mizuki, Asumi Shishido, and Haruka Akise.

“Hey, everyone!”

“Looking forward to today!”

Asumi and Haruka greeted them.

“Please take care of us!”

“To think we’d meet here…”

“Haha. We knew since we got the roster.”

The three were dressed differently today, in adventurer gear.

Mizuki wore white armor with a sword at her waist, Asumi a black robe and witch hat, and Haruka a white clerical outfit with a staff.

Hiroyo and the others, used to seeing them in uniforms or casual clothes, were amazed by their appearance.

“They look cool.”

“Thanks, Hiroyo-kun!”

“They really suit you.”

It was the look they often saw on TV. Seeing it up close stirred excitement deep in Hiroyo’s heart.

“You do jobs like this too?”

“Yeah, like a side gig. Usually, B-rank or lower adventurers do it, but this time it’s for Asumi’s exercise too.”

“No worries. I’m in good shape.”

Hibiki had heard Asumi had returned to adventuring recently, so this wasn’t her first time back. No need for much worry.

Behind Mizuki and the others—another adventurer was being pestered for photos by other guests.

“—Black Wolf Guild…”

Hiroyo muttered.

A three-man party, their armor featuring a black wolf logo, the mark of Black Wolf Guild.

A muscular man with short brown hair in striking red armor, carrying a large axe on his back—a heavy warrior. A slim man in a blue robe with long blonde hair and glasses, holding a staff—likely a healer. Lastly, a man in a gray cloak with medium-length red hair and narrow eyes, probably a support-type adventurer.

“Mizuki-san, do you know about Black Wolf Guild?”

“Hm? Not much… I think they’re based in Aichi, not Tokyo. Maybe they’re here on an expedition.”

“I don’t know much either… So that’s it.”

Hiroyo knew a fair bit about adventurers. He hadn’t kept up recently, but he’d researched famous guilds and adventurers in the media.

Still, Black Wolf Guild was just a name to him.

A-rank guilds are well-known nationally, but not all can be fully known, especially if they’re not based in Kanto.

“They’re A-rank. Probably pretty strong.”

“Yeah.”

Hiroyo’s first impression was that they seemed like a friendly party.

When the time came, a roll call for the guests was taken, followed by introductions from the escorting adventurers.

“I’m Ryougo Maki. As you can see, my weapon’s an axe. Let’s do this.”

“I’m Satoshi Hirakawa, a healer. If you get injured, leave it to me.”

“Lastly, I’m Shinji Kirihara. I use defensive support magic, so you won’t get hurt like Satoshi said. Leave it to me.”

The Black Wolf Guild members introduced themselves, with Shinji, the redhead, speaking in a Kansai-like dialect. They seemed experienced, comfortable in dungeons.

After introductions, the schedule was explained, and they headed to the gate.

“Wow…”

Seeing the gate, Hibiki let out a sound at its strangeness.

A swirling mix of white and black, it stood as an entrance to another dimension.

Nearby, two dungeon management staff from the Adventurers’ Guild were talking with Mizuki and the others. When they finished—

“We’ll go in first. Everyone, follow in order.”

The three from Tenchi Guild led the group, while Black Wolf Guild took the rear.

“—Here we go.”

Mizuki stepped into the gate, her body vanishing as if sinking into water.

“She’s gone…!”

Hibiki was shocked seeing her cousin disappear.

Koharu and Kirino, seeing it for the first time, widened their eyes.

Asumi, Haruka, and the other guests followed, entering the dungeon through the gate.

“Hiroyo…!”

“Yeah…!”

Hiroyo’s heart raced. His pulse quickened, hands sweaty. He couldn’t contain his excitement about entering a dungeon for the first time.

“Hiroyo-kun.”

“Let’s go.”

Urged by Koharu and Kirino, Hiroyo held Hibiki’s hand and stepped into the gate.

“—Heh heh heh, let the fun, fun Dungeon Tour begin…”

From the rear, someone muttered in a voice no one heard.
