Taking arge gulp of water, I eyed the screen in front of me showing the aftermath of Odette''s unwanted attack on one of Japan''s cities.


    "A lot of destruction. Thankfully, we got there earlier to ensure no other needless violence could be dealt with by my sister and her Residents." Oshurkova sighed and drank a ssful of alcohol like water. "I need more vodka."


    "Bah, you vouldn''t know good alcohol until it hits you." Odette snarled as she drank a cupful of jagermeister in one gulp. "Zank you fur zis, experiment number 3071."


    "Don''t mention it." Waving my hand, I took the ss in front of me. Giving it an experimental sniff, I gulped all of it in one go. This was one of Drake''s favorites. I believe he called it Tanduay Ice?


    "So, vhen vill you kome to mein Dungeon? I know you are busy mitt your own Dungeon, but I kan''t help but be ecstatic to finally haf a villingkt test subchect!" Odette got up in my face in an instant, face flushed from all the alcohol she has been partaking.


    "Don''t worry, I n on honoring my promise to you." I shrugged and dumped another ssful of alcohol down into my gullet. "So, maybeter. After I had settled my work inside my Dungeon."


    While I was exining that to Odette, the door to the house barged open and in came Catalina, who was looking at me with a loving smile, before it turned into shock.


    "L-Lady Oshurkova? I didn''t know you were visiting?" She shrank slightly into herself as she saw her superior. "And h-hello to you too, Odette."


    And if she squeaked while she was speaking, I paid no heed to it.


    "Indeed, it has been a while, Catalina." Oshurkova smiled at the catwoman, who otherwise gave another nervous smile when she nced at Odette, who was not impressed.


    "Do I know you, beastwoman?" Odette narrowed her eyes at Catalina, who shuddered slightly.


    "Yes, you called me experiment number 3052 before." Catalina smiled anxiously as Odette had a glint in her eyes.


    "Ah! I remember you now! You were the one I tortured with my new brand of aphrodisiacs." At the mention of that topic, Catalina blushed beet red as she fidgeted in ce, refusing to look into my eyes when I focused on her.


    "Is that when you had that fling with M-!?"


    "No! Don''t remind me!" She rushed at me and ced a hand over my mouth.


    ''Damn, she''s strong.'' I noticed as I had some trouble budging her arms while holding back. If I went all out, I could''ve thrown her away, but I''m not doing that to my girlfriend. No sir.


    "Alright, your dark past aside, can I ask why you are here?"


    "What, can''t I visit my boyfriend?" Instantly, she went all defensive, garnering a smirk from the vampire.


    "So, you finally asked Jionni?" Catalina went red once more as Oshurkova gave off a hearty chuckle. "And here I thought you were the "Reject all boyfriends" type of girl."


    "In the past, I was!" Her voice reaching an octave higher, she realized the person she was yelling at was the person who was her superior. Shrinking into herself once more, she quieted down, but all Oshurkova did was give out a heartfelt chuckle.


    "It''s alright, Catalina, I understand." Oshurkova took another swig of vodka. "More importantly, Jionni, what did the leaders of the countries in this world have to say about the appearance of our Dungeons?"


    "Truth be told, they''re split 50-50, with one side wanting to go… War with us because we are technically aliens to theirnds, while the other half wants peace." I exined to the three. "Thetter are smarter, because they seemed to haveprehended our threat more than the former. I guess wherever you go, some people will always remain the same."


    ''Throw them out of the gene pool.'' With my sense of humour, I thought to myself. Laughing slightly, I noticed Oshurkova humming to herself about the possibility of a war breaking out.


    "We should probably prepare for the worst in case they go through with war. Although, I doubt they would be able to breach past the first few floors judging from their weapons and equipment."


    "Yes, I agree with you on that, even if I know the terror their super weapons could deal to us if they indeed use them." Shrugging, I downed another ss of alcohol. "What''s the point if they can''t even target our Dungeons, which are located in a separate dimension within theirnds? Even if they manage to destroy us, the damage they will cause to their own will negate any kind of victory they may even regale in."


    "Vell, if zey go fur var, zen more test subchects fur me." Odette grinned as she downed more alcohol. "Ahhh… Perfect alcohol, unlike zis heazzen''s tastes."


    "Hey now, vodka is a better drink than your… jagerwhatever." Scowling, Oshurkova chugged down the whole bottle of vodka.


    "You take zat back!"


    As the two sisters bickered with each other, I observed their shenanigans.


    ''Even when they are at each other''s throats currently, they are still sisters.'' Smiling at the two, I saw Catalina looking at the two with a smile of her own.


    "This just in, Japan''s Prime Minister Kuwahara Takehiko''s statement on the sudden appearance of a Dungeon within Kaintotsukawa."


    I looked at the screen with interest, as did the others in the room. Odette and Oshurkova forgot their fight and looked at the screen with thinly veiled interest, while Catalina was looking at the prime minister with a scrutinizing gaze.


    "Today, at 3:31 PM, our peacefulnd of Japan has been attacked by unknown assants." Everybody in the hall quieted as the prime minister gave his speech. "They have caused more than a billion yen in property damage, and at least a few hundred citizens have been killed within an hour of their appearance."


    "The casualty count is still rising, with the efforts of our military helping with search and rescue of the citizens still inside the city." The Prime Minister gazed directly into the camera. "We have also arrested the culprits for their transgressions, and will suffer the consequences, but their leader is still atrge and is deemed a major threat."


    The picture of Odette was shown on the screen, albeit a blurred one since it was hastily taken by a citizen who had escaped the chaos.


    "From what we have gathered by the Dungeon Master inside of our allied country, America, Dungeons are stationary, so as of today, Kaintotsukawa is to immediately be ced under lockdown. Those who have homes inside said city and have no other alternatives will be evacuated and temporarily sheltered by the government until further notice."


    "Do not worry, my fellow Japanese… No, my fellow human beings. We will do whatever we can tobat this new foe that has appeared in our world. That is all."


    And with that, the prime minister left the podium and was escorted out of the venue with his security detail.


    "Well, at least the man didn''t say a war was going to happen."


    The three other Dungeon Masters nodded as Odette quickly stuck to my side, garnering a growl from Catalina, but didn''t act on it due to her fear of the loli.


    "So, now zat you''re done listeningkt, kan you kome to mein Dungeon now?" Odette questioned with a beaming smile, clearly excited at the prospect of me being under her every whim.


    Without context, it sounded kinky, but with context, it sounded motherfucking terrifying. At least I havefort that Catalina, who was once one of her test subjects in the past, is alive to tell the tale, no matter how embarrassing it was.


    "Sure, I''ll just tell Domino about me leaving the Dungeon again and then we''ll go." Catalina stared at me in abject horror at the mention of my being a test subject for Odette.


    Although I''m sure that neither Odette nor I had said anything about me being a test subject in front of her. I''ll chalk it up to her experience.


    "Wait, Jion! Don''t!" Catalina pleaded with me to not go marching into my death. In my response, I patted her head and gave her a kiss on the forehead.


    "Don''t worry, I''lle back here. I promise, and I don''t break my promise to people who are important in my life."


    Letting go of her, I stared back at Odette, who was grinning from ear to ear now.


    "Let''s go?" Odette nodded her head like an eager child, and she stood up from her seat.


    "Chawohl! Finally, a new test subchect! Zank you fur zis vonderful khance, experiment number 3071!" Odette rushed at me to hug me with her tiny arms. A low growl escaped from Catalina''s lips, but this wasn''t from any kind of jealousy.


    "If you do anything harmful to him, I will kill you." Odette shrugged off her threat and grabbed my arm with her own frail-looking but incredibly strong arms.


    "No time to lose! Kome on, experiments await!"
