The Good-for-nothing Bastard who could gain Skills by Kissing

Inside the dimly lit cave labyrinth corridor, a pulse of light from a floating ball illuminates the faces of a man and a woman.

"Am I correct that you don't want to exit the Dungeon?"

The man glanced at the woman in a maid's attire, who was walking beside him.

As a response to his question, the woman nodded with a firm expression.

"I'll never leave you, Master!" She declared.

The man, Loryarc, sighed before handing her a dagger he took from his bag.

The woman, Marie, tilted her head as she looked at the dagger placed in her hands by Loryarc.

Loryarc gave her a brief explanation.

"You ran your Mana empty, didn't you? But since I could tell that you had some high spec in agility and strength..."

Loryarc grabbed Marie's hands, moved her hands to hold the dagger tight, and looked right into her eyes.

"So, Marie, if you still insist on following me, use it. Become stronger, you hear me?"
