DIAW: The Girlfriend System in the World
Chapter 9 - Treasure Chest

"Master, I found it!" Liya made me look at a pile of rocks which turned out after being observed further, it was ... Buried in some kind of coffin?

"Is that a treasure chest?!"

I wouldn't know if it wasn't trying to get it out, so I had Liya use explosive magic, and ...

"Well, that's a box!" I know my guess was not wrong, we succeeded! After clearing the blocking stone, Liya and I got our first treasure on the 1st floor.

Wondering if it didn't make the treasure chest damaged due to the effects of the explosion? I decided not to care, so I immediately opened the crate, along with a skull head jumping out from it. Right, a skull.

"Well! What-" Lucky my body could respond quickly to the incident and instantly dodge.

Is that a human skull that can walk? I thought he might be one of the monsters, undead perhaps?

"Sir, shall?" Liya pointed her palm towards the skull and waited for the order.

I gave it a green light, and made a fireball appear. Before the skeleton of the skull could walk longer, the body consisting only of bones was separated into dozens of parts.

***

"Thank God, he can be defeated ..." It was aghast, really, I never expected to meet such a monster on the first floor.

But wait, is there something strange about this? Hmmmm? Aren't the undead a troublesome creature?

That's right, as far as I know, they should be able to bounce back even after receiving such an attack because their bones would fuse back into a human skeleton.

That makes an attack ineffective, and, you know? What would happen if dozens of undead with such abilities suddenly surrounded me from all sides.

"Answoring, the undead inside the trap chest was different from what you thought. They could not rise again and were so weak that they were only prepared to make the explorer who found the treasure shaken." Some kind of scaring people? Because of their unexpected appearance in the coffin?

That sounds funny, does the system say that the task of these skulls is simply to provide a bad experience for the labyrinth explorers? Mentally speaking? Wondering what advantages did it gain after scaring the explorers?

I knew! First, it might stop someone from venturing deeper, not looking for another chest due to trauma, and ... Ah, I think there's a lot!

Mekesil aside about that.

"It looks like we didn't get any treasure on the exploration this time." I sighed, after circling for hours, only the skull in the crate we found.

Besides, at any given time I was also dealing with spider monsters. And ... Since my heart was being unkind today, naturally, I vented it on them. Really, the first time I felt annoyed because of the location of the treasure that was too hidden.

Alright, maybe I will defeat many monsters to produce many gems instead!

***

"Finally, get some rest!" I threw my body into bed. It was evening and I forgot it was late in the afternoon as soon as we left the cave.

I gained a lot of monster gems, and leveled up a bit. I didn't expect, there would be a day where I felt tired from such a hard-to-find treasure.

"Good work, sir. You did very well ..." Liya pushed my head to her chest.

"Nmh ... This is?" It felt a little claustrophobic, you know, all of a sudden my face became red so buried in the arms of his chest.

"What about a kiss?" Hm? What're those?!

"C-kiss?!" I almost jumped if I didn't realize there was a thin roof over my head, then turned to Liya in disbelief? What was she saying about 'kiss'

"Right, some kind of good-night kiss gift." Uhuk, I'm choking. This ... How does he say that so easily? And, what kind of gift is that?

"Please ..." This ... Is he sure?

Just as he said, Liya was already sitting before me with flushed cheeks. It got so awkward, you know, it's the first time someone's asked me to do something brave.

And ... Is she waiting for me - Shit, she's too cute, I can't afford to refuse this gift. Something I never did in my old world, I did in this world with a pretty girl?

Please tell me this is not a dream. Yes ... If this was a dream I would accept it, then ... Ah, seriously! I can't hold it anymore.

"Then ... B-can I ..."

***

"Hey, Liya. Can you stop calling me Sir?"

"......" It feels like it's getting more awkward. Just look, Liya only responded by tilting her head.

"Hm ... Look, don't people think you're just a slave if you call me that?"

"I am a slave." Right too, I patted my head, then wanted to punch myself for forgetting about it.

I bought it, so he belongs to that category, however, isn't there a better call?

"Darling?" What did you say just now?

"I didn't hear it clearly, can-"

"Darling's."

It's really unbelievable. It's like what I had in my dream! That's right, a girl who said that to me with her red cheeks, what a rare moment in my life.

"Can't it?" Whoa, cute! I shook my head as soon as Liya had been waiting for an answer from me for a dozen seconds. Ah, crap! I got too carried away!

"T-T-No, I like it. You can call me that. Emm ... Look, I'd be happier if you called me that at any given time, you know? It's too embarrassing to be heard by someone else." Oh my God, I'm starting to look ridiculous now. Blame it because I'm not experienced in this.

***

"By the way Liya, it looks like I need to buy you clothes ..."

I looked at Liya's chest, not with strange intentions! But really, why did I realize he was still wearing cheap clothes that were almost torn?

"It's true, it's hollow and the size of the shirt is too ..." Oi! Oi! Really, please stop it! the moment Liya touched her chest, it indirectly made me know her clothes were getting smaller as something grew bigger.

I'm not going to say that I saw things that I shouldn't and just silenced the girl's behavior. I guess maybe I should take a little time to visit the system store. All right, I'll buy her the best clothes!
