Lady Boss Of The Unpopular Dungeon

Alexa was in a deep sleep when she started feeling the strangest sensation on the tip of her nose and within a few seconds of the sensations on her nose getting harder and harder for her to ignore. The lovely young lady soon let out a very loud sneeze which managed to jolt the poor girl awake and shaking her head to regain some of her senses. Once the girl was fully awake, she looked over beside to find Rune shaking while trying his hardest to keep from laughing at the dungeon mistress's expense.

It wasn't a mystery to figure out out what had caused Alexa to sneeze herself awake and Rune eventually stopped snickering to find Alexa giving him an very icy glare. The lovely but angry girl quickly shot her hand out and grabbed the carbuncle by his long fuzzy black ears

and she lifted him up to where he was an inch away from her face. Alexa took a long deep breath in order to calm down and to give her more time to figure out what to say. Soon, in a very cold and detached voice, the dungeon mistress began to speak.

"The next time you pull a stunt like this to wake me up, I swear that I will hang you by your tail on the dungeon entrance for at half a year. Do you understand?"

Rune made a very audible gulp and he furiously nodded and then Alexa immediately put a happy smile on her face like nothing had even happened in the first place. She then tossed Rune out of the tent so that she could go change her clothes for the day. Rune got up of the ground after quickly recovering from being tossed out of the tent and he trotted over to join Diva in freshening up near the pond that was close to their campsite. The simurgh had been splashing in a very shallow part of the pond like a small birdbath while twittering a graceful melody.

Rune yawned and he began to reach his head down toward the water and he began to drink some water in order to rinse his mouth. Within ten minutes, Alexa emerged from the tent in a clean new outfit that she felt wouldn't be to inconspicuous when she entered to village. She also took the time to use a spell that Una had taught her to remove filth while traveling to freshen up her hair and body first.

Alexa had put her long strawberry blonde hair into a wavy high ponytail with some of her hair framing her face. Alexa had put on a long sleeved off-the shoulder white top with a dark pink vest with gold buttons, and finished the outfit with some shorts with a high waist that ended two inches above her knees. Alexa accessorized her outfit with some black fingerless gloves, the hooded cloak from day before, and a pair of black boots with some dark pink leggings.

Alexa then began the tedious task of breaking down the tent that she had made and she then stored the materials back into the storage gem which she then placed back onto her belt. The strawberry blonde yawned a little after she finished storing the camping supplies away and she then walked over to the pond to let her companions know that she was finished getting dressed. When she spotted them after looking around for a few seconds and she called out.

"Hey guys, are the berries on the bushes edible, I prefer not to eat fish for breakfast?"

Rune trotted over with Diva following close behind and the two of the walked over to one of the bushes that was abundant in bright white berries they began to sniff them. Rune eyed the berries suspiciously and he soon responded to Alexa.

"Boss, these berries don't smell like they are poisonous but I think you should use your mirror to check them just to be safe."

Alexa nodded and she pulled out the enchanted mirror and she began to access the Dungeon System's scan feature. She then used the scan feature to analyze the berries and soon the Dungeon System responded with its usual promptness.

"These are known as snow berries, They grow near water and they are always cold to the touch and have a sweet taste to them. They are very popular in the use of desserts and wine in the human and elven territories."

Alexa then put away the mirror back into one of the pockets in her belt, and she then reached out her hand and soon plucked a berry of the bush. The small piece of fruit was indeed cold to the touch and when she put it into her mouth, Alexa was delighted to find that it tasted like a blueberry that had been refrigerated for a few hours.

The group then ate a countless number of berries for their breakfast and then took the time to pick a large number of them to bring back to the dungeon for Alexa to experiment with her cooking. After they had finished picking berries, Diva guided them back to the main road to the village.

"Hey Rune, when we reached the village, are you two going to be alright? I can pass for a normal girl but what if someone tries to capture you like those jerks from yesterday."

Rune thought for a moment and he soon replied "Don't worry about it boss, when we get to Eclipso, just say that you're a Summoner. That means that you are a mage that can tame and command monsters and I'm sure people believe it. Only veteran adventurers or other dungeon masters will know otherwise."

Alexa breathed a sigh of relief while Dive twittered happily and they continued walking down the road. After walking down the road for an hour and a half, the trio began to noticed that more and more farms and orchards began to dot the landscape on both sides of the road. After another half hour of walking, the group soon noticed a village surrounded by a red brick wall and Rune happily yelled out.

"We finally made it to Eclipso!"
