Fifth Day after Zetta awakened from his Slumber.

Zetta found out that the Amazoness and Bete Loga ascended their level, the next day he wiped the floor off them. And because he's too busy dealing his own problem. Like Familia problem. he's late to receive the news. Still, it made him happy that although, Loki posponed their status update after they wiped the floor because they locked down themselves inside the dungeon. The news is that, almost all member of their Familia levelled up, in which made many Adventurers, taken aback or getting jealous.

He wanted to congratulate them personally but Eina said that they were ouside the City at this time around, so he have himself do his business again.

Meanwhile..

Him and his other Familia are now at their Mansion, inside the Deadalus. And calling it [Antares Mansion]. not because of the Scorpion he fought but because, Artemis strongest skill are called Antares back in heaven, which covering the sky like that of a crescent moon but was Bow and an Arrow instead.

They put their flag of its heighest that Zetta made it even more higher as he created 5 meter rod and attached their flag there.

If one has keen eye. Their flag might be seen even if one are at the entrance of the dungeon. That is how high their flag was.

After that, is the rules and the system he created to be followed

"Starting today. You can freely come inside the dungeon, but remember. always have the party of 4 or more!"

Zetta then put out his self made clothes out of the box as he 'prentending' that his item is inside this one.

"The hell this item? How are they able fit in that box!?" The not so sharp Lante pointed out which made others surprised too.

"Damn it! atleast, said your thanks first before complaining!" Zetta tilted the topic and 'pretending' to get angry.

"Amazing! Did you do it all!?" Rethusa was amazed after equipping them all.

"No. the heavy equipment are made by Welf Crozzo. I've have him become our Familia's blacksmith from now on. and because he doesn't have any customers other than his party. He was very much oblige.

At the same time, inside the dungeon.. "Achooo~" the Blacksmith, contracted to Bell Cranel, sneeze while fighting Al-Miraj at the middle floor.

"Should we call it a day?" Bell asks him but he refuses the idea. and so they continue their grinding along with their support, Lilly.

Return back at [Antares Mansion].. of them all, only Catana and Straight receive a very odd shape weapon. "That was called <Gun> and <The Needle> consecutively, I'll have you teach them later. especially Catana. Guns can easy to master if one have a very good sense of sight and reaction time. I reckon you have those two attribute, so it was yours to take. BUT. It was hard for those who doesn't know the basics. So later."

"and as for Straight. That can become a Rapier sword type or a whip. try that at the roof... But.. not you Catana!" Zetta then pulled Catana's back collar and pulled her up. causing her to become obedient and silent. Watching the scene. The girls chuckles. "I told you! I.n.s.i.d.e the dungeon!" as he spelled them out and threw her at the sofa.

'CRUEL!' whlist made others cried out loud.

"Those who didn't follow the rules! ready your fine!" He then pulled out the notebook from his back

"The hell!? theres even a notebook from your back!? you don't have any pocket there, are you?!!", again. It was Lante who point it out. Chopping her head, he continued "I'll have you all signed this one everytime you took out 'Refined Magic Stone'. Else I have you gather ten times of what you took!" They then tilted their head as if asking what the hell is that?

"Check all of your equipment! See that hole? Put that refined Magic stone there! Everytime that breaks, refill them immediaty. They have uses in each accordingly. For example. The shield of Vjara. her shield won't broken because the one who took the damage are the 'Refined Magic Stone!' instead, and at the same time, the Boots of Lante. Her weight will increase"

"Hey! Wait a minute! is that a debuff!?"

"Yes! some of you are debuff to strengthen your ability. You are fastest of the Familia but your center of gravity aren't stable. So learn to control them, else, you'll trip in stone as big as booger!" Others laugh by his remarks.

"Always remember to bring an extra 'Refined Magic Stone'. Oh right. You're all responsible for having our familia's wealth or we'll become poor."

" " "Ehhh!? why!?" " " they ask in unison.

"You're all grinding for the living for our Familia from now on. Let me handle on creating the Refined Magic Stone. and if by chance I'm still inside the dungeon and Refined Magic Stone are emptied by you lot. Have your magic stone refined. My workshop is at the basement" hearing him, they complained

"Was it better if you're the one to grind for our living?", "Was it much faster if its you and not us?!", "we'll become rich in no time if it was you!", "Our captain is so Cruel!" and so on.. welp he doesn't care.

Artemis approved from the sideline. Zetta have her become the watcher and decide. and if she didn't approve, she just have to said them. But all in all. He made the sense of it. If the girls are too dependent on him, they won't break out from their shell and/or in the end become slothful. And thus Zetta concluded their meeting. but more like, he's a diplomat than a captain. Though complaining, they still followed their strict captain.

Going out of their mansion to enter the dungeon, Zetta realize that 5 maids weren't enough. So he find an idea. [Contacting Ganeisha]

and as they were inside and only at the highest floor. Adventurers teases him for having a harem and have wholesome with them in which infuriated him as he destroy their jaw or their front teeth, or stabbing their tights or legs or cutting their arm. To which who saw the horrendous scene, run for their lives. 'SCARY!' the girls cried out loud again.

"Ready Girls?" And so, started their hunt. Which they roared out excitedly, and as if the dungeons responded to their battlecry. Monsters are spawning everywhere.

Thanking him for telling the difference in dungeon and lairs, they are still compose. But isn't.. it was because they're too expose to life and death than an average Adventurers, that they didn't feel a single bit if fear or worry.

"Lante, don't go too far away from the party!"
"Vjara, don't focus on defense too much, at least kill those who you could kill!"
"Nice whip, Straight! Keep it up! but atleast know how to stab too!"
"Rethusa, you're the second tank and defender of the support. Remember to prioritize in helping them than the main tank!
"Meowsui! Don't just heal blindly! Prioritize the tank if possible and don't just idling! remember that not anytime that someone will save your asses!
"Catana, don't support the vanguard if you can't still aim properly! Attack those from afar! Or those who give your party a threat later!
"Long Ran, if possible, annihilate where monsters are concentrated the most!"
"Amarui, you're the focus attacker but remember to cool yourself or monsters will gather around you! Run, run run! until you pave your way out of their encirclement!!"

His almost neverending command made the girls in awe, shock, disbelief and admiration. He'd never go with them in hunting Monster Lair outside the Orario, and all they knew is that, he's strong. Whats more surprising is. All he did is to glance from time to time while only parrying or evading monsters. He killed nothing ever since then. and sometimes threw monsters, from Al-Miraj to Minotaurs inside their formation to scramble them. But alas, they're dependable than he thought. 'Years of experience from the outside hone not only their individual ability but also their teamwork. But.. not enough!' and then repeatedly threw minotaurs from one, to two. to three, until ten. and have him enter the prey and kill the minos by himself after noticing they're in peril.

"From today onwards, I'll accompany you lot and threw hundreds of mino's at the same time." He snicker, and so they went out if the dungeon and called it a day. Seeing his evil smile, they almost threw up.
