"Master... Will master let me sleep with him? I... I want to sleep with master tonight..." Shanteya said with flushed cheeks and looking with upturned eyes at my crystal body.

I gulped and looked at her, but I didn't say a single word. The little gears in my head went to a full stop and the little men taking care of my one single brain cell all wondered what in the name of all that's holy just happened.

Sleep? As in... you know? That and that and... like I did with Alina when... I thought and gulped.

"Is-is it a no?" Shanteya asked shyly.

I shook my invisible head like a character from one of those old cartoons.

"No! No! No! It's not a no, no? It's a... I mean... Er..." I couldn't find my words.

"Master?" she blinked confused.

Stupid brain! Work! Work I tell you! I screamed in my mind as if doing that would have any effect on it. Although, did that big crystal of mine even had an organ that could be called a brain?

"You can... s-sleep with me, but... why?" I asked.

I instantly face-palmed myself.

Seriously? You stupid brain! You asked WHY? I groaned.

"Erm... Mistress Nanya turns in her sleep and sometimes hugs me too tightly, or she touches me..." she said looking down.

I'm not going to lie, my mind's fantasies went straight to the Forbidden Room of Perviness! As a man, I had no regrets.

"So, you can't sleep well?" I asked.

"Yes... I don't mean to deny mistress Nanya's kindness towards me, but ever since that night with master, I wasn't able to sleep peacefully... Around master, with master... I felt safe." she told me, dropping the bomb.

Safe? As in I'm no threat as a man? As in... I'm the DUDE the girls feel safe around? I thought as my brain slowly began to lose all of its processing capabilities.

Technically speaking, they had no reason to be weary of me, I was aware of that, but I still felt hurt. My pride as a man took a severe blow. It was worse than being friendzoned... I was sent straight into the safety zone where every woman could waltz around unafraid of me being a wolf in sheep's clothing, or more like they were certain I wasn't one.

"OK, you can sleep with me. Absorb Shanteya with all the items on her." I said with a low tone of voice.

The beautiful el'doraw maid vanished before my eyes and was stored inside my Inner Mind.

At least, I'm not the forever alone guy reincarnated as the core of a dungeon no one visits... I thought to myself as I entered my Inner Mind.

My standard 'outfit' inside was 'Adam's costume', but it didn't need to be that way. I could use any sort of items I created or stored there. For that purpose, before heading to where Shanteya was, I dressed up in a pair of simple linen pants and shirt tied around the waist with a rope. It was the basic outfit of a peasant. Those were some absorbed items I took for myself and so far, besides the workshop, I didn't dare to use the [Summon a <Basic> <Type> Item] skill I received after reading one of Tuberculus' books before he removed the barrier. According to the details written in it, this was a skill with high Magic Energy cost and mostly used for temporary items. I could use it as a lure for adventurers in dungeons or to equip Shanteya if needed be, but at the moment, anything I could summon was of incredible low stats and unlike the usual [Create] type skills, the item would vanish after a while. Besides, what was I to create? Jeans?
