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 32.2: Dungeon Tour (4)

Chapter 32.2: Dungeon Tour (4)

Asami yielded to Kirino’s earnest plea, forming their partnership officially.

“Th-then, wear this,” Asami said shyly.

“What? This is…” Kirino questioned curiously.

Asami produced a deer headpiece from her “Storage” space. It looked like a prop for a comedian’s act, with no special effects.

Kirino put on the deer headpiece curiously. It had eye holes, ensuring good visibility clearly.

Asami donned her black goat headpiece, and her aura shifted noticeably.

“We go now,” Asami declared firmly.

“Right now!?” Kirino gasped in surprise. “Eek!”

Asami grabbed Kirino’s hand, and with “Transfer,” they vanished from the rooftop instantly.

“Hosoya’s report is late,” the boss growled angrily.

In a dim, sterile building, a man slammed the desk furiously. His two-block haircut with shaved sides gave him a boss-like presence. He sat alone in a chair, while several others stood around him respectfully.

“How many days has it been?” he demanded irritably.

“Three days,” a subordinate reported promptly.

“A complete failure!” the boss shouted angrily. “We prepared so much—how do you screw it up!?”

The boss couldn’t hide his frustration, leg shaking uncontrollably. A snake tattoo on his left arm appeared clearly.

The Snake Sky Guild, their criminal organization, employed many B-rank adventurers, with the boss as the only A-rank. They operated legitimately on the surface but took assassination jobs through secret channels. Only a few knew of these dealings; some adventurers joined unaware for camouflage.

This job came through a secret channel, targeting a certain heiress in the dungeon. Their failure left them unable to face the client shamefully.

“Damn it…” the boss cursed bitterly.

He spat while staring at a photo of the light-green-haired target angrily.

The building’s entrance door opened, letting light flood in suddenly.

“Maybe Hosoya’s back—” a subordinate said hopefully.

He turned toward the door expectantly.

“What…?” the boss muttered in confusion.

Two figures stood there: a black goat and a deer, both in school uniforms oddly.

“Is that the Snake Sky Guild’s boss?” Kirino asked cautiously.

“Yes,” Asami confirmed firmly. “Hyoudou, you don’t need to do anything. Just watch.”

“Understood,” Kirino agreed obediently.

Asami stepped forward confidently.

“Hey, who the hell are you?” the boss demanded aggressively. “Who let you in?”

“Target lock—Sense… Appraisal,” Asami murmured softly.

Asami used her gift on all the men present instantly.

A subordinate stood tall, blocking Asami’s advance firmly. It meant nothing ultimately.

A loud crash echoed suddenly.

“What—” the subordinate gasped in shock.

He found himself embedded in the wall inexplicably.

The men drew weapons, realizing the threat seriously. About ten closed in on Asami gradually.

“Boss, what do we do?” a subordinate asked urgently.

“Take them down!” the boss ordered fiercely.

The fight began—and ended in five seconds.

Asami held no weapon initially, fighting barehanded skillfully.

“You’ve got a body-enhancement gift, huh?” the boss sneered confidently. “Pretty skilled, but you’re outmatched.”

The boss vanished instantly.

“That’s enough,” Asami said calmly.

She ignored him and picked up a subordinate’s dagger casually.

“Idiot—” the boss taunted smugly.

He reappeared behind Asami, aiming to slash her back with clawed weapons viciously.

Asami vanished suddenly, making his claws miss completely.

“What!?” the boss gasped in shock.

Blood dripped from his back painfully. Asami stood behind him menacingly.

“You—” he began angrily.

Asami punched his head barehanded, knocking him out instantly. He collapsed to the floor heavily.

“It’s over,” Asami declared calmly.

The fight lasted less than a minute. Kirino stood stunned silently.

“Thank you,” Kirino said gratefully. “Let’s search for documents, find Kirihara, and hand this over to the Adventurers’ Guild.”

“Okay…” Asami agreed shyly.

The next day, news broke widely.

The notorious Snake Sky Guild disbanded, and all members faced arrest swiftly. They accepted criminal and assassination jobs through secret channels, and evidence exposed them publicly.

Shinji Kirihara, the Black Wolf Guild’s support mage, was found weakened in a guild warehouse but survived safely. Maki and Hirakawa, unable to act, cried with joy at Kirihara’s return emotionally.

Adventurer crimes existed undeniably. Gifted individuals sometimes used their abilities for evil, hiding incidents in dungeons. This exposure of one criminal guild shocked the industry profoundly.

Most assumed the Adventurers’ Guild and police orchestrated the arrests. Only a few knew two individuals were behind it secretly.

Later known as Black Goat and Blue Deer, this adventurer duo rose to S-rank like a comet swiftly.

“Kirino,” Koharu called softly.

During a lunch break, Koharu saw news on her phone and tried to ask Kirino something curiously. Kirino placed a finger to her lips, signaling silence to avoid Hiroyo and Hibiki’s notice discreetly.

Koharu suspected faintly. The black goat girl had a distinctive verbal tic noticeably.

Asami Yaginuma, the black goat girl, sat in a blind spot by the rooftop entrance, spending lunch with Hiroyo and the others casually.

After eating, Asami rested her head on Hiroyo’s lap, sleeping contentedly. She asked to be petted, and Hiroyo stroked her head gently, lulling her to sleep peacefully.

“Ahh…” Asami mumbled sleepily.

“She’s talking in her sleep,” Hiroyo chuckled lightly.

“So cute,” Hibiki agreed fondly.

Hiroyo and Hibiki doted on Asami like a couple affectionately. Koharu watched and asked Kirino nothing further silently.

Then—

“I remembered,” Hiroyo declared suddenly.

“What!?” Hibiki, Koharu, and Kirino gasped simultaneously.

They stared at Hiroyo intensely. His word “remembered” carried clear meaning to them instantly.

“What did you remember, Hiroyo!?” Hibiki demanded urgently.

“Hiroyo!” Koharu shouted excitedly.

“Tell us quickly!” Kirino urged eagerly.

All three shouted loudly at once.

“Ahh!” Asami yelped in surprise.

Startled awake by their voices, Asami rolled off Hiroyo’s lap and hit her head on the ground painfully. She clutched her head, writhing and teary-eyed dramatically.

But it was an emergency moment. No one noticed Asami’s plight completely.

They awaited Hiroyo’s words eagerly. He spoke finally—

“Breast Enhancement,” he announced confidently.
