How did I turn my victim into a phoenix-like hero?

"What if the other person actually looks like a dinosaur and the photo is photoshopped?"

"Weiss, what nonsense are you spouting? This is an institutionally certified explorer, how could there be any photoshopping or fabrication? I think you're just jealous! Ouch!"

Weiss stomped hard on Jade's foot.

"Organizational certification also has a form and an inner form. The explorer's accurate information can only be known through 'detection,' and the organization records the explorer's 'inner' information to verify its authenticity; the 'form' information used for team formation can be filled in arbitrarily by the explorer, and is for others to see. Aren't the names you and I using pseudonyms?"

"But... the registration ID is fixed. If anything happens, we can find the person through the organization. Most importantly, the level cannot be faked, you should know that. The level is real, as long as the strength is sufficient, isn't that enough?"

Jade, you probably don't know this, but these registration IDs can be forged. Although they are expensive, some people do buy them.

Weiss looked distressed.

Her sensitivity as a thief made her think the worst.

These three are of such high rank that they are unlikely to follow Jade's orders.

If they want to do something illegal in the dungeon...

All Weiss could do was take Jade and run away.

"Even if they are real, with your reward of only 2000 RMB for going down to the second floor, what idiot would want to team up with the two of us? Normally, you'd ask for at least 10000 RMB to go down to the second floor. I think there's something fishy about these three!"

"Okay, okay, Weiss, I promise I'll only team up this once."

Jade comforted him.

"I even took a day off to come here. Trust me, for the sake of our childhood friendship, once we get through this second level, we'll be rich. We won't have to come to the dungeon anymore, and we won't have to risk our lives to fight monsters."

"...How come I always seem to forget that nothing good ever comes of it when I read your messages? Last time you said the team was going to promote you, but you're still just a squad leader..."

"Oh dear, they seem to have arrived!"

Jed abruptly changed the subject.

Weiss sighed helplessly.

Why did I have to fall for someone like that...?

When she looked at the new team member that Jade was pointing to—

"Ok?"

The two people in front of me wore massive, rugged helmets that covered their faces completely, providing high defense but greatly restricting their vision.

Not only that, the two were wearing thick plate armor.

One person carried a tower shield so large it could be mistaken for a door panel, and a large backpack.

One man had only a straight sword tied around his waist.

So suspicious.

Weiss's first thought was that the two were hiding their appearance.

Fortunately, they proactively showed their ID cards to prove their identities.

"Wolf and Scáthach, right?"

The two armored men nodded, and Weiss returned their ID cards.

Scáthach whispered to Klose:

—Why do we have to use fake names? This outfit isn't heavy, but it's really hot—

—For safety's sake, this operation must not leave an impression on her—

—Her? This [thief] sister?—

—It's another one, you'll find out soon enough, stay away from me for now—

Wolf = Shilock, Push Kass = Scáthach.

Jade, standing to the side, rubbed his hands together like a fly, somewhat expectant.

"Ahem, could you two please take off your helmets so I can check?"

Sirocco and Cass removed their helmets, which resembled buckets.

very young.

Weiss's eyes widened slightly.

Moreover, Wolf looks so petite, yet he carries a large shield and a backpack that looks very heavy.

However, this also shows that his Lv strength is not in vain.

Jade glanced at Sirocco, a playful yet lewd smile on his face.

He turned to look at Cass again, his face filled with utter disappointment and hatred.

"If you weren't here... it would be me and a harem of three beautiful girls."

"What stupid things are you talking about."

Weiss nudged Jade's head.

"He's a man, don't even dream about it."

"Huh? Who?"

"This one is called Wolf."

"You can't be kidding! Such a cute and playful face, it can't be a boy, right?"

"No, Miss Weiss is right, I am indeed a man."

Sirocco delivered the final blow, then put his giant helmet back on and made Cass put it on as well.

Upon hearing this, Jade collapsed to his knees like a deflated balloon: "Even this final exploration can't grant my wish...?"

Weiss seemed to have a headache, pressing his temples:

"The file says he's a man, Jade. I'm the only woman here..."

"No, wait, didn't you say the 'form' information was fake and could be filled in randomly? This Miss Wolf is just too shy to write herself as a man! Wolf, excuse me, please let me verify... Ugh!!!"

Weiss punched Jed so hard that his head caved into his neck.

"Excuse me, let me reintroduce myself. I am Weiss, my class is [Thief], Lv7, and this comical man is Jade, Lv6 [Tank]."

"Wolf, Lv9 [Tank]. My friend Scáthach, Lv10 [Warrior]."

Weiss smiled and extended his hand, and Sirocco smiled politely in return, removing his gauntlets to shake hands with him, thus establishing a temporary cooperative relationship.

The sensation made Weiss unable to hide his surprise.

It's white, tender, and a little cool.

Could she really be a female explorer disguised as a man?

Weiss couldn't help but agree with Jade's idea.

A girl interested in Dungeon Fighter Online is pretending to be a boy, and this guy named Scáthach might be her boyfriend...

To be so young and already at Lv9, you must have entered the dungeon in middle school.

However, dungeons are not a place for couples to flirt.

Moreover, this time it's the second level, a realm that only professional explorers can enter.

Don't blame me if you die.

Hiding his inner turmoil, Weiss, his expression unchanged, continued negotiating:

"The task is to enter Zone C on the second floor to collect amethyst. The task is only complete after you return to this hall. I will send you the remaining payment after that, is that alright?"

"can."

The answer was quick and firm, indicating that the decision was not made on a whim.

Weiss smiled with delight.

I hope the other party is truly capable.

"Weiss! Don't talk nonsense. How is my handsome face, which has captivated countless girls, funny...?"

"Shut up."

"Yes."

Having recovered, Jade remained kneeling.

—Sirocco, why does Miss Weiss get angry every time she talks to Mr. Jed?—

—She probably liked him, and hit him to hide her shyness. Although I don't know what she liked about him—

The "bad girl" look is outdated, Miss Weiss.

The current trend is for shows like "The Sister-in-Law Who Marries In".

In the game, the two of them huddled together in flames and burned to a crisp.

That's why Sirocco left a deep impression on me.

Weiss is relatively cautious, while Jade is carefree and rather lecherous.

The two liked each other, but neither of them ever confessed their feelings.
