Infiltration, Underwater Dungeon
[Splash Splash Bubble]
Five figures swim in the starlit depths of the midnight sea, heading offshore.
3 bikini-clad beauties are holding wooden sticks, a small black diver, and a mysterious insect-humanoid. It's us, for so reason.
With a sleek movent, I carry an Excalibar attached to my belt as I swim. Extracting a hefty bar from a Boston bag felt excessive, so I decided against it.
"Master, how can you swim so gracefully in that getup?"
"Yeah, seriously. If you dressed like that, you'd drown!"
" (grumble)"
"Oh no, it fits snugly and isn't heavy. Swimming is just as easy as usual."
"Well, he's coach."
"Yeah he's master."
Hey, what's with that suggestive tone? If you have sothing to say, just say it.
After swimming for a while, Shark, who was leading, stopped and started looking around.
"Hmm, Shark, what's up around here?"
"Oh, I'll dive once to check the terrain below. (Kapow! Whoosh! Splash!)"
As Shark dived, I subrged my face underwater, aided by the King Gogi's eyes, which allowed to see clearly.
Shark moved her webbed limbs gracefully and dived upside down to the seabed.
"Oh, nicely done, diving smoothly. Impressive."
For her age, Shark knows a lot. She seems knowledgeable about military matters, which is interesting.
As I observed from the surface, Shark, swimming aimlessly at the seabed, signaled towards a dungeon by spinning her light towards . She wanted to dive in.
"Shark found a dungeon. I'll check it out; you guys wait here."
"Sure thing."
"Be careful, Coach!"
"Oh, wait, I'm coming too!"
"No, Seira, stay. Ruu, I'm going (splash)"
[Glop Glop-glop-glop]
I dove into the dark depths of the sea. Wearing the Bug King Suit, the cold seawater didn't bother .
The suit's high defense provided a sense of security, making feel at ease. Yeah, the suit didn't hinder my swimming at all. It's comfortable.
(Depth is around 15 ters. Probably not more than 20.)
I quickly reached Shark's location, who was waiting with a light, guiding towards a rocky area underwater.
[Glop Glop-glop-glop]
I placed my hand on Shark's shoulder as I grabbed onto the rough underwater rocks. Shark's eyes widened in surprise behind his underwater goggles. Well, how's that? Swimming at twenty tis the normal speed is impressive. I was also a bit surprised at how fast I swam.
[Glop Glop-glop-glop Bubbling]
Shark took off her mask and tried to offer oxygen, but upon realizing the Bug King mask had no mouth-like feature. She awkwardly put the mask back on. It's alright. I gave her a thumbs up to assure him.
[Huuu Glop Glop-glop-glop]
Seeing that, Shark pointed her light towards a rocky area behind . Turning around, I saw a dark entity swaying and creating ripples in the water due to the waves. It was larger and protruded from the rock under the water.
Hmm It's jutting out under a large rock, so you wouldn't notice it unless you dove this deep. It's circular, about a ter in diater, similar in size to our refrigerator dungeon at ho. I poked it and tossed a feeding whelk into it, but it seed normal.
(Alright, should I dive in?)
I nodded to Shark behind and plunged my head into the dark entity.
" Puff! Oh, it's a dungeon! It has an antechamber too And it's completely dry."
Entering the dungeon, I found a layout similar to my Refrigerator Dungeon, though with slight differences.
The familiar ceiling glowed pale blue, and walls and floors were assembled like blue bricks. But what was intriguing was that the dungeon blocked the seawater. Living beings or humans could pass through It's an incredible filtering system.
"Alright, it's safe here, so let's call Ruu and the others. I'll go get them."
As I pulled my head out of the dungeon, I realized I had startled them.
"Bang!"
"Eek!"
Oops, my bad. I should have surfaced a bit farther away.
"I found it! It's a dungeon!"
"Yay!"
With this, smiles returned to their faces.
"It's about 15 ters deep underwater. The imdiate entrance is safe."
Upon hearing this, Nina-san furrowed her brows and looked a bit worried.
"It's that deep I'm not the best swimr, so will I be okay?"
""
Hearing her question, Ruu and Serai-san exchanged glances.
Hmm 15 ters is roughly the length of the giant prehistoric shark galodon. It's a huge shark. To put it in perspective, utility poles are about that height.
While pondering, I noticed the waterlon-cracking sticks we had.
"Oh, these are perfect! Just hold onto the sticks and take deep breaths. I'll take you down to the seabed."
I handed them the sticks to hold onto, and I grasped the other end. By diving while holding the sticks, I could take them down to the seabed at a depth of 15 ters.
..
"(Boing!) Wow! There is a dungeon at the bottom of the sea"
Serai-san is wearing a sporty black swimsuit and was the first to be tossed into the deep sea. She exclaid in admiration, spinning around and gazing up at the pale blue ceiling.
"(Boing!) Cough! Cough! Hey, Maachi, give a hand here~"
Nina-san wearing a white bikini, ca in second, coughing as she entered the dungeon. She leaned on the floor and reached out for help. In a rush, Machi approached and offered her hand.
"Oh, sorry, sorry! Here, grab my hand I got it. I was practicing holding my breath, so I'm fine How about you, Shizue?"
"Hmm I'll think about it."
Just then, Ruu, wearing a black diving suit, erged from the entrance to the black dungeon.
"(Boing!) Huh, what!? (Looking around)"
"Look, Ruu! Stand up quickly! It's amazing! There's a dungeon right here at the bottom of the sea!"
"Wow, I'm really surprised Ruu, are you hurt anywhere?"
"N-No, I'm okay"
Serai-san and Nina-san lent their hands to help Ruu, who was in a light purple one-piece swimsuit to stand up. Since the entrance was about 60 centiters higher than the dungeon floor, it was easy to lose balance upon entering.
Then, I'm in a Bug King Suit, erged from the black entrance. Finally, I pulled Shark, dressed as a diver, into the dungeon. I supported him because carrying the heavy air tank on his back could easily throw off his balance.
"Amazing. It was a dungeon after all!"
Shark sat down on one knee and removed the air tank from her back, letting out a voice of awe. Her eyes were directed towards the pale blue ceiling, shining brightly, and his gaze kept moving around.
"(Psssh!) Phew, we made it into the dungeon safely. Is everyone alright?"
Among us, I was the one with the most peculiar appearance. With a mask resembling an insect's mouth, I stood up and glanced at everyone while spraying seawater from my mask's mouthpiece.
"Yes (Beep)"
"We're fine. It was a shock when we dived with sticks into the sea bottom."
"Y-Yeah."
"(Turn, turn) How about you, Shark?"
"Yeah."
"Alright, this seems to be like a foyer of the dungeon, and based on experience, it should be safe. Rest here for a while, everyone. I'll go ahead and investigate."
Saying this, I'm in my Bug King Suit, opening a single iron door on the blue wall of the dungeon. I then entered through it.
"(Looking around) Hmmm, the layout of the passage is almost the sa as my dungeon's. It's as if the sa manufacturer made it."
As I continued down the dungeon's passage, a monster appeared before him.
[Wobble, wobble, wobble Ding, ding, ding]
Bathed in the pale blue light of the dungeon, its semi-transparent body glowed a translucent blue, quivering like jelly and inviting a sense of coolness.
Its appearance was akin to a high-quality Japanese confection that one might find at a sophisticated tea house.
Yeah, the monster on the first underground floor was a sli.
"Hmm Is it this thing? (Poke, poke) I never thought we'd share a dungeon with monsters."
Well, it's a dungeon. I can't let my guard down. I'll take a quick look around to make sure there are no issues and then return.

After I headed off for dungeon exploration, the room was left with three female college students in swimsuits and a female high school student in a diver's outfit.
However, the millennial female high school student in diving gear, Shark, quickly removed her wetsuit. She transford into a black swimsuit-clad figure, adjusting the belt that held a row of knives around her waist. With a black headband on her forehead, she was fully focused on preparing for battle.
"Hey, Shark. Where did you et master?"
Serai-san called out to Shark as she prepared for battle next to a tank.
"Hmm? Inside the dungeon. We were doing airsoft battles, and he happened to join in. Then, Jung hit it off with our leader, and he invited him to play. He spent about three hours playing with us."
"Oh? Are all the guys there?"
Nina-san is wearing a white bikini, joined in Shark and Serai-san's conversation.
"Yeah, mostly. People who are into airsoft are usually guys. Recently, there's been a slight increase in the number of girls like . Oh, and there's even a guy who participates in cross-dressing."
"Wow, that's interesting."
Slightly taken aback, Nina-san's response was followed by Ruu, who had a light purple one-piece swimsuit that turned violet when wet.
"Coach, how were you playing back then?"
"Hmm What do you an? Well, just normally. I was shooting monster targets with an airsoft gun and saying, Die, you bug bastards!' I was having a good ti."
""
Unwilling to talk about myself, I revealed an unexpected side, leaving the three college girls looking a bit awkward.
"But he's amazing! He tossed around a dung beetle monster that usually takes two guys to flip over. He did it all by himself!"
As the millennial high school girl with sparkling eyes talked about my accomplishnts in the dungeon, the 3 college girls were relieved, convinced the high school girl and I were just acquaintances. If I had a close relationship with her, they would have had to plan so punishnt.
"I see. Hey, Shark, that's a nickna, right? What's your real na?"
"Yeah, I'm Toga Ruri. They used to call Sharp' because my last na is Toga and I have a sharp personality. But when my friends found out my family runs a beach house, the na sohow changed from Sharp to Shark."
"I see. Hey, maybe we should co up with nicknas too?"
"Oh, that's a good idea! It would be good for dealing with stalkers and not wanting our real nas known."
"Seriously, Maachi, are you being chased by stalkers? That's scary."
"Co on, Machi! You're so rude."
"But you can't go around calling each other san' on the battlefield, right? It's the sa in the dungeon, right? If we're doing it anyway, we might as well co up with nas that are easy to call."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
" But what kind of nas should we choose?"
"Ruu, why don't we discuss it with our beloved master?"
"Y-Yeah (Blushing)"
As Serai-san placed her hand on Ruu's shoulder, Ruu shyly nodded and blushed.
