Dungeon Overlord: Monster Girl Harem!

Leonhardt sat on the edge of his bed while gazing at his mercenary guild card and the member's tab, which made his lips curl into a smile. He thought back to Erina's expression before she closed her eyes and nodded.

"You don't want to take part in activities that go against your morals... huh?"

Those were terms for joining his mercenary band, but he didn't intend to use the mercenary band to perform things for his dungeon but to build a reputation to allow him to spread through the kingdom.

'Astrea basin and the city of Astrea will be mine.'

However, he couldn't become complacent now—he needed to keep himself focused.

'My plan is progressing smoothly... I must return to Arlet and appoint a lord. It is time to take my move as a Dungeon Master.'

Leonhardt's eyes closed, focused on the dungeon system.

'Zafira!'

The sound of static echoed in his mind, before a few bleeps, and then the breathing of Zafira sounded from the other end of the communication device.

He didn't need to use the mirror, which made him sigh with relief.

[◊ Leonhardt, is that really you? ◊]

'Of course it is. What is the current state of the dungeon?'

There was a moment of silence, followed by the sound of pages flipping and a pen writing on paper.

[◊ Currently, everything is running as expected, and I have kept the adventurers in line. ◊]

He enjoyed these chats with Zafira, and couldn't believe that he spent so long apart from her.

[◊ The village of Arlet is slowly being corrupted thanks to your ember forest and the wolves being framed. I plan to have the goblins visit soon... and nominate Gobomir to become the lord of Arlet if he completes this mission. ◊]

Zafira's voice sounded excited, her words fast and vibrant, while he noticed the nostalgic squeak of the horn rabbits in the background, which made his lips curl into a smirk.

'I miss the dungeon... and plan to return soon. As for your idea to nominate Gobomir, I second that.'

His words caused a moment of silence from the other side, followed by Zafira clearing her throat and asking another question.

[◊Master... will I receive a reward for working so hard? ◊]

The simple question caused Leonhardt's eyes to snap open while he felt a sudden heat rise in his body.

'Once I have returned... yes.'

He tried to keep himself composed but failed as he spoke in a stutter.

Ever since he slept with Asuka, it became something he couldn't stop... most nights, they would sneak into the same room and enjoy the pleasure of the flesh.

Yet sometimes, while sleeping, he would think of Zafira... Ifrit and, to his annoyance, Nyxara.

'What about the lizard dungeon, do you think we can crush it the moment I arrive?'

'I have started fusing the eastern Brood Lair, and it should be part of our dungeon now. So I want you to install the teleportation device that cost 2000 DP... in my room.'

Zafira's breath stopped while she listened to Leonhardt speaking, before it became faster... and heavier, almost heaving and panting before she asked a question with an excited tone.

[◊ Am I permitted to enter your room?! ◊]

Until now, he always stopped Zafira from entering, but now that he fully trusted her, there wasn't a need for him to reject such a thing, and thus, he wouldn't stop her.

'Yes, please use DP to upgrade my room to the best possible level. I plan to spend more time in the dungeon once we have claimed the East, North and Western parts of this basin.'

It took a few seconds for Zafira to answer, and Leonhardt could hear the sound of paper rustling and the clatter of objects falling over.

Then her muffled voice echoed as she gave orders...

"She's working so hard, but why does it seem like she's already in my room?"

His words seemed to be heard by Zafira, who squeaked as her breath stopped before something else sounded, causing her to speak again.

[◊ I am going to finish up this dungeon, and then I will go there to see you! ◊]

'You don't need...'

*Bzzzt*

The call cut before he could finish, causing his lips to curve into an awkward smile... he could see the massive pool of DP vanish.

In contrast, his experience points soared thanks to goblins working hard.

"Wow... when did I grow this strong?"

The status panel in front of him looked so different to before he collapsed; rather, he couldn't remember the last time he checked it properly, maybe after he evolved.

'It seems to be more difficult to evolve now...'

"Phew..."

Because of his injuries from overusing Tyrant Blitz, Leonhardt couldn't walk without a small wooden stick which made him feel old.

'Well... I should hurry and meet with the others.'

Thanks to this trip to Munat he gained a dungeon and the three women joined his mercenary group with Erina being his vice-leader.

Meanwhile, back in the Dungeon of Embers.

The instant she cancelled the call, Zafira entered Leonhardt's bedchamber and looked around while her body shook with excitement.

She could smell the faint remainder of his scent, which made her spine tingle.

"Teleportation device~ let's make the device and upgrade the bed." Zafira's beautiful voice echoed like a magical song while a small vortex of mana surrounded her.

A moment later, various items vanished to be replaced by brand new items... a four-poster king-sized bed with a solid chest at the base.

The moment it faded, the room transformed before her eyes.

A plush white tiger print rug, a large mirror and a teleportation device.

"This is too cheap to use in his room... here!"

Zafira clapped her hands together as the air suddenly became chilled and pure, like a winter breeze blowing inside.

"And this is perfect."

Her voice was sweet yet controlled as she glanced at herself in the mirror... long, flowing raven hair, curved black horns and shining gold eyes.

She couldn't help but smirk as she ran her fingers over her lips, then neck, before sliding them down her breasts, and then abdomen.

"I look amazing... now then~ shall I leave him a present?"

*Rustle*

With that said, she unclipped her dress, letting it slip down to the floor. Then unhooked her bra and tossed it onto the bed, as she stepped towards it and touched the delicate quilt, her lips twisted into a deformed smile.

"Let's leave my scene for Master to enjoy."

A moment later, her fingers slipped down her abdomen, and her voice became distorted.

"I can't wait... for this moment to be with your hands..."
