Dungeons of another world

Kaori: Xuli-chan? Are you awake?

Kaori and Xuli are in an inn.

Xuli: What is it?

She slowly gets up and opens her eyes to see a concerned

Kaori: Rose-san is missing.

Xuli: What?

...Mellord presents....

Xuli: Wait. Where's Aniki?

Kaori: So? You think I care?

Xuli smiles.

Xuli: Yeah. I should've known.

She starts to leave.

Xuli: Well, what're we waiting for then? Let's go.

They both leave the inn and start looking around.

A few hours later.

Xuli: Any clue?

Kaori: Yep. Some guy pointed in that direction.

She points at a forest.

Xuli: Vile forest?

A few moments later.

Xuli: Are you sure this is it?

She shrugs aside a few vines and leaves.

Kaori: Yeah.

She walks through some bushes and finds herself in front of a collapsed and abandoned dungeon.

Kaori: Holy-

Xuli: Miyako-chan. There are quite a few dungeons here. What're the chances they're in one-

She also walks past the shrubs but stops seeing the dungeon.

*Distant screaming*

They look at the darkness of the dungeon and see Aniki and Rosemary running from a horde of horned demons and monsters.

Kaori: Is that Aniki?

Suddenly he tackles her to the ground by accident, as the demons leave their tail.

Xuli: Oh my Zendra. Aniki?

Kaori: Get off!

She pushes him off her.

Kaori: Sukube. (leecher)

Aniki: What did I do?

She gets up.

Kaori: Hentai. (prevert)

Aniki: What's your problem? We survived near death.

Kaori: Did I ask whether you have a skill issue or not?

Rosemary: They were horrible.

Xuli: Why were you here in the first place?

Rosemary: You know how we're low on money.

Xuli: Yeah?

Rosemary: A few hours prior, we got a quest to find a lost book here. In return, we get hundreds.

Xuli: HUNDREDS?!?

A few moments later.

Kaori: Why're we doing this again?

Aniki: For the fifth time; because the pay is massive.

Kaori: Don't think money is worth losing your life for.

Rosemary: It isn't.

Xuli: But we'll be able to get snacks.

Kaori's mood fully flips.

Kaori: Yep it's worth it.

She steps on a tile, and it sinks about a centimeter.

Kaori: What was that?

Aniki: Wait.

He grabs both her shoulders.

Rosemary: It's a trap. If you remove your step, we'll all die.

Kaori: Yeah. No pressure.

Xuli: Then what're we supposed to do?

Aniki: Beside leaving her to die?

Kaori: You have a death wish?

Aniki: We can place a rock there and take her foot off safely.

The three of them start looking around as Kaori just stands there.

Xuli: Oh! Here it is.

She points at a decently large rock.

Aniki: Be careful. It might-

She picks up the rock and the tile below it rises about a centimeter, and a wall opening sound echoes around the dungeon.

Aniki: -Also be a trap.

A few seconds later.

All four of them are running from a rolling rock on their tail when Kaori steps on a knot of a rock.

The knot suddenly ties around her leg, and she gets pulled up, hanging upside down on the ceiling.

Rosemary: Why am I running?

She flutters her wings, flying a few meters up as Xuli also follows, flying on her tech-war hammer.

The rock rolls below all three of them and continues chasing Aniki.

Aniki: Why me?

He hides in an alleyway, causing the rock to roll away.

All three of them meet him there.

Kaori: I got lucky.

Aniki: Are you trying to make me jealous?

Kaori smiles.

Kaori: You know it.

She grabs a torch attached to the wall, and it flips around, making a loud noise of gears spinning.

Kaori: I might have done something.

The wall suddenly opens up and shows a staircase going deeper into the dungeon.

Rosemary: Am I allowed to break the fourth wall, cause I'm starting to see a pattern.

Xuli: Let's go.

She excitedly runs to the staircase and starts going inside.

Kaori: I thought she was claustrophobic.

Aniki: What made you think that?

The three of them follow her deeper as Kaori drags her hand across the wall.

Rosemary: If anything, her hugs are gonna make me claustrophobic.

Xuli: I can hear you, y'know?

Kaori accidentally hits a button on the wall and the stairs turn into a slide, causing all of them to slide to the ground.

Rosemary: Why am I on the ground? I can fly.

Kaori gets up, looking around to see a battle arena.

Kaori: And here comes the boss battle.

Rosemary: Guys... we might have a problem.

Spider webs grab Rosemary and start pulling her.

Aniki: Rose!

He slices the web, freeing her.

Aniki: Whoever you are, show yourself.

Suddenly, hundreds of purple bats with a bunch of bones covering their head, spine and the skeletal wings enter the battlefield.

Kaori: What on God's green Earth?

Xuli: They're Eistas. Which means.

All the Eistas start spinning in the middle and a giant human like Eista with a crown appears.

Kaori: Of course they have a queen.

All the Eistas charge at our heroes.

Aniki slices a few but suddenly, the queen launches herself towards him, using her claw on his shoulder, pinning him to a wall.

Aniki: You little.

He notices his blade falling on the ground as the queen starts charging an energy beam from the mouth.

Rosemary blasts a small beam towards her, but it hits her skull, bouncing off.

Rosemary's confused but immediately gets overwhelmed by the number of Eistas.

Xuli: Perfect.

She runs towards a group of Eistas, the back of her hammer's hitting part's jets blasting.

She jumps and slams her hammer on top of them, causing a small explosion and bouncing herself once again.

She again slams it down, this time on the queen's tail, freeing Aniki.

Rosemary flies towards Aniki, healing his wound using her magic.

Kaori: Why are they so gross?

She slaps one to the ground, causing it to explode in a purple guu.

Kaori: Wait.

She grabs one mid-flight and throws it on the queen's head, causing it to explode all the guu all over her face, blinding her.

Xuli: Now.

She kicks Aniki's blade towards him, and he grabs it, right before slashing clean through her stomach.

Aniki: She's gone.

Kaori takes out two glass water bottles from the bag, filled with water.

Kaori: But the boss's music isn't.

She points at the ceiling, where a spider with the upper body of a female human glares them down.

Aniki: Miyako!

She immediately dashes towards Kaori who throws the water bottles on her face, causing her to fall off track.

She sighs.

Kaori: Kazuo-kun told me about these.

She slowly walks towards Aniki's back, till she's fully hidden.

Aniki: What are you doing?

Rose launches an energy attack, killing it, causing it to explode a huge amount of sticky spider web.

Kaori: They're blind in water and do that.

Everyone gets covered in spider webs besides Kaori.

Kaori: Sorry. Didn't have time to warn you.

Rosemary: Well look at the bright side.

She looks at a chest across the room.

Kaori: Is it gonna be empty?

Xuli runs towards the chest and opens it, but it's empty.

Xuli: This Dungeon was a bust.

Kaori: Come on.

She looks at the chest but notices a wooden plank, covering the chest floor.

Kaori: Chotto matte. (Hold on.)

She takes the plank off and sees a bunch of treasure and a book.

Kaori: Is this it?

She shows them the book.

Aniki: Yep.

Kaori: Great.

A few hours later.

Kaori: That was too much work.

Xuli: This much money should be enough for months.

Kaori sighs.

Kaori: It better be.

Rosemary: Robbing a bank would've been easier. Next episode preview but it my turn... again. My and Aniki's backstory gets revealed.

To be continued.
