## Chapter 62 – 62. To the 3rd Floor (3)
#62. To the 3rd Floor (3)
Beastmen account for over 30% of the total population, but there is a truly diverse range of races within that group.
Among them, the most numerous or those with a strong influence on society as a whole are the Catfolk, Wolfkin, and Dragonkin.
For reference, my teacher is also a Wolfkin.
Anyway, if there’s a race as famous as those three, it’s the Rabbitfolk.
As a single race, they account for about 30% of all beastmen, so there’s no need to say more.
The secret to that was their strong libido and faster pregnancy compared to other races.
It only takes eight months from fertilization and implantation to childbirth?
Because of that, I know that many men look down on Rabbitfolk women and approach them. Even back in high school, there were quite a few guys like that.
But just because they have a lot of libido doesn’t mean they’re omnivorous and eat anything.
Rather, they have a strong aggressive tendency, especially towards men who look down on them, so they are one of the alien races you have to be most careful with when approaching them for the first time.
Of course, maybe not as much as those with strong homosexual tendencies.
“A bunny girl?”
I looked up and down at the Rabbitfolk woman who appeared, tearing through the air.
Just from the bunny girl outfit, blue eyes, and long twin tails, she didn’t seem like an ordinary woman.
Objectively, if you only look at her appearance and figure, she’s definitely an attractive woman, but everything else about her was unsettling.
I had a strong feeling that I didn’t want to get close to her.
However, as I said before, objectively, her appearance and figure were unbelievably attractive.
As befitting a bunny girl outfit, her large breasts were clearly exposed, and her pelvis and thigh lines were breathtakingly prominent, as well as her seemingly bursting buttocks.
It wasn’t an outfit that a man could easily take his eyes off of.
Even if I tried not to be conscious of it, stealing glances wasn’t something I could hold back on.
“Ah-ha? Customer. I’m sorry, but the reward isn’t my body, okay?”
The rabbit girl’s eyes curved into crescents.
Within the gaze visible beyond that, a strange excitement seemed to flicker.
Is it just my imagination?
“Aren’t you being too obvious about how disappointed you are?”
“I wasn’t.”
At my firm voice, the rabbit girl let out a slight, suggestive moan as if she was disappointed.
As expected of a Rabbitfolk, is she already in heat?
“Anyway, you’re the reward? What does that mean?”
“It means exactly that?”
“…You said it wasn’t a moment ago.”
My gaze swept over the rabbit girl’s breasts, pelvis, and buttocks, and finally her thighs.
How many men in the world could think of anything else when faced with a woman who says she’s the reward in that figure and outfit?
“Customer! A gentleman doesn’t only look for a woman’s value in her physical aspects!”
The rabbit girl made an X with both hands and made a “beep beep” sound with her mouth.
Excessive gestures and reactions, all her words and actions are full of playfulness.
Because of that, I don’t know what she’s thinking.
“Then what can you do for me?”
“Anything the customer wants!”
“…”
She dresses like a hostess and says she’ll do anything I want, but she won’t do anything with her body?
There’s no contradiction like that.
“Your eyes are too blatant!”
“…Never mind.”
Of course, it’s an undeniable fact that she has an attractive appearance and figure.
“You, you came out of that otherworld dating app, right?”
But I already have Iris and Chun Yeo-hwa as lovers, and I’ve had physical experiences with Choi Hye-na several times.
There was no need to be blinded by a woman and miss out on a valuable opportunity.
“Maybe?”
A crescent is drawn on the rabbit girl’s lips.
Is she going to remain silent?
“Then, what if I ask you to tell me about the app as a reward?”
“…”
The rabbit girl’s expression hardened in an instant.
“Customer.”
A cold voice, 180 degrees different from before, filled the surrounding space.
This wasn’t just a change in voice.
My instincts are warning me.
“There’s something called a MacGuffin in stories. It motivates the story, but never appears in the end.”
Now is not the time to speak carelessly.
Goosebumps rose all over my body, and cold sweat dripped down my spine.
“A reader who tries to dig into the MacGuffin without any tact isn’t seen favorably by the author.”
“…So, if I dig any deeper, you’ll kill me?”
But I couldn’t bury this problem forever.
Rather, I decided to take another step on this precarious tightrope, as I didn’t know when an opportunity like this would come again.
At my decision, the smile disappeared from the rabbit girl’s lips.
“If necessary, I could.”
The rabbit girl and I made eye contact at a subtle distance that could be reached by extending an arm.
At that moment, when even a faint murderous intent seemed to linger beyond her cold eyes, a clear blue energy formed at the rabbit girl’s fingertips.
Its momentum was weaker than my teacher’s, but it was definitely a *sugang* [罡氣, a martial arts term for powerful internal energy].
The *ganggi*, the exclusive property of masters that even my maximum output barrier couldn’t block, was about to reach towards me.
“Customer, you should be a little more wise with your mouth… Kyaaaaaaak?!”
Kwaaaang!!!
Suddenly, lightning struck from the sky.
Of course, it wasn’t my lightning.
Literally, a bolt from the blue fell from the clear sky… no, the clear ceiling.
The trap wasn’t activated. I stepped there earlier, too.
And it wasn’t a monster attack. Even if I turned on magic detection, there wasn’t a single monster around.
“Ugh, eugh…”
Woo-oong-
The rabbit girl, who I thought had fainted from being directly hit by the lightning, trembled and stood up, and at the same time, a familiar vibration sound was heard from somewhere.
It sounded like a cell phone ringtone.
“Hic, hic?!”
The rabbit girl’s complexion turned pale in an instant when she heard the sound. She hurriedly put her hand between her breasts and took out her cell phone.
I’ve only seen it on NewTube, but it really becomes a storage space?
“He, hello…? Yes, yes…! Yes? Ki, kill me?! Would I ever have meant it seriously? Ha, haha…”
Whether I did or not, the rabbit girl, who was receiving a call while holding the cell phone politely with both hands, not caring about my reaction, showed the appearance of a low-ranking newbie.
After that, the rabbit girl continued to talk for a long time, not caring that her whole body was soaked with sweat.
The rabbit girl only repeated answers that didn’t deviate much from the three patterns of yes, no, and I’m sorry, like a parrot.
As if even expressing her own opinion was too much.
Even in the midst of that, as if it had been filtered, the voice beyond the cell phone could not be heard.
“Ah, yes, yes! I understand!”
Just in time, the rabbit girl let out a sigh of relief as if the call was over.
Then, she looked at me cautiously, not at all like herself, and approached me hesitantly.
“He, hehe… Cu, customer…? You know that everything I said earlier was a joke, right…?”
Her appearance of rubbing her hands together pitifully and speaking carefully was like a humble rabbit.
Ah, she is a rabbit, right?
“A joke?”
“I, would I ever have sincerely tried to harm the customer?! Of course, it was humor for the sake of advancing our relationship!”
“It wasn’t funny.”
At my cold reaction, the rabbit girl’s complexion turned pale again.
In addition, even the rabbit ears that had been standing stiffly until just now were drooping. I could almost hear her brain working.
“I, I sincerely apologize if you felt offended…”
“Without anything else?”
I don’t know about anything else, but I could definitely tell that the relationship between the boss and the subordinate between us had become clear.
It wasn’t that difficult to guess the reason.
If I think about the fact that the rabbit girl called me a customer from the beginning and maintained a consistently low profile while answering the phone, the picture comes out perfectly.
Imagine, the company sent an employee to serve a VIP customer, but this incompetent employee not only spouted nonsense to the VIP, but even threatened to kill him.
As a boss, I would be driven crazy.
‘The identity of that boss must be someone belonging to the otherworld dating app.’
Of course, even this guess had no evidence.
In the first place, thinking of the otherworld dating app as a single company was just my delusion.
Nevertheless, I decided to call the person who scolded the rabbit girl Manager Kim. I thought it would be easier to sort out the situation later if I set the title like that.
Besides, judging by what that incompetent rabbit was doing, it was difficult to give her more than an employee level.
No matter how I looked at it, she was an incompetent MZ [Millennial/Gen Z] new employee.
“Th, then…?”
“What are you going to compensate me for the mental damage I received from your threats?”
“Co, compensation…?”
The rabbit girl’s eyes shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
“…How about my lovely eye smile??”
“I don’t need it.”
Iris’ or Chun Yeo-hwa’s eye smile would be one thing, but what that woman was doing was useless.
“Then, how about the shortest route to the 3rd floor boss of this dungeon…?”
“Shortest route?”
“Yes! It’s enough in just half a day? How is it??”
It was definitely a tempting reward.
In the first place, the reason I bought the 1,000-coin dice was because I hoped it would help me get to the 3rd floor.
And it didn’t seem like I could squeeze anything else out even if I pressured her more, and right now, when time was of the essence, unnecessary arguments were unnecessary.
“Not bad…”
Tting-
Just as I was about to accept the rabbit girl’s offer, a new screen appeared in front of me.
[On behalf of this app, we sincerely apologize for this rudeness]
[We cannot easily say that we understand the humiliation you must have felt, so we would like to offer you the maximum compensation we can offer first]
[Compensation details: Ownership of Noel Ronniedella]
[Would you like to receive it?]
[Y/N]
What the fuck is this?
“Wh, why are you doing that…?”
Noel felt an indescribable anxiety from Kang Hyun-woo, who was staring blankly into the air.
Her hands and feet trembled without her knowing.
“You, can you see this?”
“Yes?”
Kang Hyun-woo pointed at the screen, but Noel couldn’t see anything in her field of vision.
“That… If it’s about the app, I can’t see it because I don’t have enough authority.”
“Is that so?”
Too bad, I thought it would be faster to show it than to explain it in words.
Tting-
As soon as I had that thought, the app gave me feedback right away.
[Would you like to share the screen with Noel Ronniedella?]
[Y/N]
The processing is fast for sending an incompetent newbie.
Maybe Manager Kim is being scolded by his boss, too?
[Y]
[The screen is shared with Noel Ronniedella’s view]
There was no reason to refuse, so I accepted right away.
“…Eh?”
There was no need to ask if she could see the screen, the rabbit girl’s immediate reaction came to my ears.
Her eyes were filled with shock in an instant.
“Wh, what is this…”
“Wow.”
Teok- My arm was placed on the rabbit girl’s shoulder.
Even so, the rabbit girl couldn’t even resist.
“Look at that, there are things like this in the world, huh?”
“Cu, customer… Yo, you’re not going to accept it, are you…?”
Beyond the rabbit girl’s eyes, who was looking up at me pitifully while trying to smile, I could see something that seemed to be a mixture of anxiety, fear, and embarrassment.
Only then could I be sure of something I had been wondering about.
Noel Ronniedella, that’s your name, isn’t it?
“Why wouldn’t I?”
[Compensation details: Ownership of Noel Ronniedella]
[Would you like to receive it?]
[Y/N]
[Y]
[Ownership of Noel Ronniedella is engraved on Kang Hyun-woo’s soul]
[Noel Ronniedella is registered as Kang Hyun-woo’s summon]
“…”
The rabbit girl, no, Noel, stared blankly at the screen with a bewildered look.
Of course, that didn’t mean that the already decided result would change.
“Then, you should start by showing respect for your master, right?”
I whispered in Noel’s ear.
“Bow your head.”
