Chapter 39.
Aside from the substantial haul, what made Eugene happiest was the sudden abundance of system space.
Although ten cubic meters isn't large, the system space auto-compresses items, meaning there's no wasted space.
This means he can store quite a lot of things.
When he encounters relatively rare elite monsters, such as young dragons or enhanced species, Eugene can collect their dropped materials without any hesitation.
After being excited for a little while, he turned his attention to the other gains.
The value of the Magic Grimoires and Magic Gems had already been introduced.
The system was likely manufacturing them mindlessly, otherwise, they wouldn't be so easy to get.
As for the extra "Orichalcum."
{A metal that possesses both high magic conductivity and super hardness.}
If he had to describe it, while Mithril has S-rank magic conductivity and the Hardest Metal has S-rank strength, Orichalcum scores A+ in both.
It has excellent comprehensive properties but is a slightly heavier metal.
As far as Eugene knew, this item didn't exist in the DanMachi world.
But he didn't care.
Hellhound testicles-that was also something unheard of before!
Looking at the single-use consumable Magic Grimoires, Eugene hesitated for a moment and decided not to continue developing magic for now.
The few spells he currently possessed were already very powerful, and he didn't even use them fully in his daily life.
He might even be able to continue enhancing them.
If he added a new magic slot, things would become unnecessarily complicated.
"Very good!"
With the space cleared, Eugene felt completely relaxed.
Wielding the ordinary-looking long spear-whose durability had increased by three hundred percent-he continued his journey into the darkness of the Dungeon.
Even monsters rarely possess magic; Hellhounds were a rare exception.
Eugene tried spewing fire, and although its current power was mediocre, the Hellhound was one of the weakest and most common monsters on the middle floors.
Too many ants can kill an elephant, and stacking up buffs turns them into ultimate moves.
That's the logic!
Grinding levels is always tedious.
So, dear readers, let us move to the surface world...
"Wow, are we really coming to a place like this?"
"Boss, you're too insatiable, meow!"
Lunoire and Chloe followed closely behind Eugene, their heads tucked down, afraid of falling behind.
This kind of place, for women...
It was a nightmare!
The night in Orario is ruled by alcohol and entertainment.
Among them, the Pleasure Quarter is the heart of it all!
Countless adventurers, having fought fiercely in the Dungeon, didn't even know if they would see tomorrow.
To enjoy every day, indulgence and pleasure with the opposite sex became the norm.
This place is the world of original sin!
This place is the paradise of desire!
The Pleasure Quarter, presided over by the Goddess of Love and Beauty, Ishtar, is filled with dazzling lights and decadent air, making it the most mesmerizing sight in Orario.
Beautiful women and handsome men sway their hips here, tempting lonely souls to enter.
"Hiss-"
Eugene exaggeratedly took a deep breath.
Mmm, the scent of people who have cast aside all pretense and abandoned reason like pigs and dogs.
"That's the flavor!"
He stepped lightly into this corrupt paradise.
The two little bodyguards behind him regretted coming along.
They should have just stayed home and drank! Chloe and Lunoire's ears were burning red. They each grabbed one of Eugene's sleeves, sticking close to him.
Here, they, ironically, became the ones needing protection.
The Pleasure Quarter, after decades of development, is more than just a single street.
Its streets and alleys are dense, and one can easily get lost if they're not careful.
Eugene leisurely followed Lena's directions, turning a few corners.
Finally, he arrived at his destination-the Far Eastern-Style Pavilion.
The women here hailed from the distant Far Eastern land, the Yamato Nation.
For Orario, with its Western Fantasy background, they exuded an exotic charm.
The target Eugene wanted to... ahem, wanted to find was located here.
He looked around and quickly found Lena enthusiastically waving at him from the street corner.
"Master-r-r!!"
The girl launched herself into Eugene's arms.
But Eugene easily caught her without any sign of stepping back.
After evading Ryuu's friendly Face-Breaking Punch at the hospital, his non-human nature was exposed.
However, everyone was tactful enough not to ask too many questions.
This satisfied Eugene greatly.
People who have been through the social world are truly different; their ability to read cues and handle things is far superior to that of that useless Elf, Ryuu.
Speaking of which, it was good that he had assigned her to another task.
Otherwise, Eugene truly didn't know if Ryuu would go berserk if she came to a place like this.
"Master, Master, I followed your instructions and brought my sister."
Lena was like a love-crazed woman, taking deep breaths against Eugene's large pectoral muscles.
It was understandable for an Amazon's energy to be abundant both day and night-it was their nature.
However, Eugene truly couldn't spend too much time on her tonight.
"Hey! Lena!"
A rather boisterous voice sounded from the corner.
A woman with smooth long hair partially covering her eyes, dressed glamorously and suggestively, strode over. Her swaying figure was full of allure, and her long legs covered by sheer gauze were mesmerizing.
If the women seen earlier were the epitome of purity and goodness, this woman before him was the complete opposite, a succubus perfectly embodying human nature and desire.
Is it her?
Eugene's gaze swept over every graceful curve of the newcomer.
Powerful, beautiful, and wild.
Because she possessed all three qualities, she was known as the "Gorgeous Beauty."
Aisha Belka, Vice-Captain of the Ishtar Familia and a top-tier Level 3 adventurer.
If not for Eugene's interference, she would also be involved in the protagonist group's important storyline in the future.
And while Eugene admired Aisha's beauty, she was also thoroughly sizing him up.
"Hoh~ No wonder this girl is so obsessed; judging purely by appearance, he's a decent man."
Aisha's eyes curved, confirming the truth of the saying, "eyes as silken as an enchantress."
She leaned in, her delicate hand naturally resting on Eugene's shoulder.
"What do you say, little brother? Would you like to explain in depth to me why Lena is so smitten with you?"
Aisha must have had this conversation countless times.
She was slightly older and naturally more experienced than Lena.
But Eugene didn't want to bring up any awkward talk about being allergic to black panthers or anything of the sort.
Amazons are a typical matriarchal tribal society.
Since their fundamental views are different, there is nothing to criticize.
"Sure." Eugene gently held Aisha's hand, softly stroking it.
"But, not tonight."
With Eugene's current strength, if they were to fight, he could probably battle Aisha for three hundred rounds.
But the final result would likely be a mutual defeat.
Bullying Level 2 Lena was fine.
But this woman was a genuine top-tier Level 3, who had also diligently practiced "bed techniques" for many years.
Wait until I hit Level 2, and I'll make you call me Daddy.
Eugene temporarily backed off slightly.
He turned his gaze towards the Far Eastern Pavilion, which was close by.
"Tonight, I want to invite another young lady to admire the autumn moon with me."
"Her name is-Sanjouno Haruhime."
