I spent the rest of the day farming with Esme and Sherry on the volcano floor. I got used to wielding the red sword. I put another point in strength to make it more powerful.

Afterward, I talked with Miranda at the outskirts of the hot spring. She was still wearing her white lab coat, though it looked dirtier than ever.

“Sorry for accusing you,” I said. “It was improper.”

“Well, I can see why you would. You probably view me as solely motivated by goldcores.”

“You haven’t really shown us any other side to you. But regardless, it was wrong of us to threaten you.”

She shrugged. “Oh, I’ve faced worse. It’s unfortunate that you weren’t able to complete the job.”

That was true. But killing Saran was a much sweeter victory than looting goldcores. “I’m still going to pay you what you’re owed.”

“I know you will.”

“But I have a question. One I probably should’ve asked sooner. Why does Alfonso keep his goldcores in his house and not in his soul storage?”

“Because he’s paranoid. Soul storages can be looted.”

Was I hearing her right? “Wait, how can a soul storage be looted? Doesn’t it exist in another dimension?”

“Exactly. There are people who can cross dimensions, and steal what’s in your soul storage. It does happen from time to time. Thankfully, those with such powers wouldn’t bother targeting small fry like you or me. They go after crazy wealthy folks like Alfonso.”

Crossing dimensions sounded like an awesome power. “Who are these dimension hoppers?”

Miranda bit her lip. It looked dry. When was the last time she’d been kissed? “I have no idea. Some people think they’re ghosts. Others believe they’re minions of the Outer Gods. The truth is probably much less interesting.”

Or perhaps even more interesting. “So what do you think Alfonso’s going to do? He knows I tried to go after his goldcores.”

“He’s going to increase security. We ought to forget about grabbing his goldcores, for now. Every rich man in Port City is going to be watching their wealth carefully.”

Everyone except Saran, who was now dead. I snapped my fingers. “I killed Saran. What’s going to happen to his stash?”

“It’ll be assessed and go to his heirs, if he has any. If not, the prince will claim it.”

“I’m sure assessing things takes time. Maybe I could slip in when no one’s looking.” I’d done that before when I’d rescued Maria, after all.

Miranda crossed her arms, making her huge tits all the tighter. “Don’t you think you ought to take it easy? You’re pushing your luck.”

That much was true. I was in a chess game with another man from Earth. He might be anticipating me to do exactly what I’d suggested to Miranda. He could even set a trap for me at Saran’s mansion, same as he’d done at Alfonso’s.

I decided against reentering Port City, for now. Instead, I would shift focus back to the Underground Forest. Farming the second floor was quite rewarding, and the third floor was likely even better.

I decided to spend that night with Esme.
