Chapter 257: Cycle 48 (1)

The slime sat in its corner of the floor, slowly dissolving a shield. This was good. 

A bubble of gas slowly formed inside the slime around the shield, and made its way out with a blorp. This had a negative effect on the air around the slime.

Blip.

The slime twitched, sensing a sound. It observed the corridor around it, and found-

A minuscule slime was sitting next to the large slime, observing it. 

They observed each other for some seconds, until the small slime moved to a wall and stretched out, trying to fill the corridor like the big one was. 

Deep in the large slime’s core, a long-dormant instinct stirred. 

The young slime gave up, bouncing back to its normal shape. It moved away from the wall, jiggling mirthfully. 

The adult slime felt the instinct spring to life, infusing every atom of its being. 

Tiny baby, must protecc!

Dear Diary,

Being a goblin is fun! Their ears are about as big as catgirl ears, but further down on the head. So I didn’t feel half-deafened when the cycle started, like I usually do. That was nice. 

You are reading story Reincarnated into a Time-Loop Dungeon as a LVL100 Catgirl Chef! at novel35.com

Goblins don’t have any magic buffs, but they make up for that with strength buffs. They also have a teeny tiny speed buff, which isn’t really enough to affect us. Or at least I don’t think so. Kimi says she can think faster. I don’t really know what that would feel like, so I’m not sure if I think faster or not. 

Anyways, this cycle we split up into parties based on race. The goblin party is me, Avi, Kimi, Y, Staab, and Samantha. The kobold party is Mika, Lily, Aya, Samurai and Samuel. Oh yeah, Aya is Aya again. She said she was getting too much attention as a guy. 

Samuel teased that Y was losing his harem to him, which made Y fake-mad. Lily pointed out that if their party was Samuel’s harem, that would include his twin sister. Mika and Samurai told her she clearly hadn’t seen enough anime. 

Y asked if Avi would mind being a part of his harem, and took the mildly confused stuttering and pointing at me as a yes.

And so the harem balance of the universe was restored. Or something. 

I don’t get it. 

I mean, I do, in that it’s a stupid thing meant to annoy or embarrass certain people. And other people think it’s  hilarious.

But other than that I don’t get it. 

Aaaanyways, we aren’t quite speedrunning this time, but we are trying to get through fast. We’ve made friends with pretty much everyone, we know how to get through all the floors, and we don’t need to take our time. Before we were having fun exploring, but we’ve explored everything now.

The Admin changes things on occasion to stop things from getting too boring. Or at least I think that’s why he changes things. Maybe he has some secret Admin reason to change things up. Maybe everything will die if changes aren’t made every so often.

…Nah, that’s dumb. It’s just to keep things from getting super boring. 

Goodnight, Dungeon!
