After Andr had helped you to know where your house was, the morning came as you led Melissa and the others to know where the house was. Once all of you get there, everyone was now happy that you have returned, along with familiar faces.

A month has been passed as Kazuma starts to have a plan on getting everyone home since he knows what's up.

So right now, you and Melissa were mining some materials to collect stuff like ores, stones, etc.

(Y/N): Sheesh, we've been mining in the mineshaft for a couple of hours now. We've got a lot of Iron ores, Gold ores, Coals, Redstones, and a few Emeralds and Diamonds.

Melissa: Same here, little one. Hmm...

(Y/N): What's wrong?

Melissa: What if I can use my skill called "". Do you think it's possible?

(Y/N): (Is she trying to do an X-Ray hack?) I'm not sure. Let's give it a shot.

Melissa: Oh well,

Melissa casts her skill as she looks around from her point of view. She sees a lot of ores around her until she spots something.

Melissa: I think I found something, little one~ Follow me.

She said as you followed Melissa behind. She stops for a moment before turning to her right and pulls out an Iron Pickaxe before mining her way.

(Y/N): You sure know what you're doing?

Melissa: Of course I do.

She keeps continuing mining until she stops as her eyes were widened to see that is in front of her.

Melissa: Whoa...

(Y/N): What? What is it?

Melissa: We've reached a jackpot! Behold, the cave of dia...w-whoa!

Melissa trips after she walks in until she reflexively grabs your collar as the two of you dropped about at least five blocks high.

You had fall damage as you felt your back in pain a little.

(Y/N): Ouch...my back...!

You said in pain as Melissa was the first to get up. She grunted in pain a little before her face was close to yours which made her surprised that she was never closer with someone until she realized that she was on top of you.

You grunted in pain as Melissa sees that you were slowly opening your eyes. To see that you and Melissa made eye contact with each other. The two of you stared for a moment until a massive blush appeared on your cheeks.

(Y/N): M-M-Melissa? C-Can you g-get o-off of me?

You stuttered while blushing as Melissa was surprised for a moment until a smile appears on her face at seeing your reaction and began to start teasing you.

Melissa: My, my, that's a cute reaction, little one~ Do you like being on the bottom~?

(Y/N): H-Hey, I-

Melissa: Now, now~

Just then, she pressed her breasts onto your chest and made the situation worse for you.

Melissa: Do you like this ~?

(Y/N): M-Melissa, can you not already!?

You shouted with embarrassment until she starts laughing a little before getting off of you.

Melissa: I'm really sorry, I was just teasing you, cutie~

She said with a wink as you quickly calmed down and spoke up.

(Y/N): Jeez, did you do that on purpose by tripping?

Melissa: Ahahaha, of course not.

She said with a big smile on her face as you sighed at her. You got up from the ground and looked around as your eyes widened in shock.

(Y/N): WHOA!!!

Melissa: Yup, thanks to my skill, I was able to locate the ores and found the diamond cave.

(Y/N): Now this is really shocking, I won't lie though. The others are gonna be in shock once we collect enough for the group to make something.

Melissa: Come on now, little one. We must mine these ores now.

And just like that, you and Melissa start to mine all of the diamonds around you two.

After about an hour of mining all of the diamonds, you and Melissa managed to collect 200 diamonds in total.

(Y/N): Wow! We got a lot of diamonds, baby!

You said with a happy look on your face as Melissa smiles at your reaction.

(Y/N): Come on, let's head back to the group.

Melissa: Hold on, (Y/N).

(Y/N): You okay?

Melissa: I'm fine. I just need to say something to you, that's all.

(Y/N): Okay, what is it?

You said with a raised eyebrow as Melissa began to speak up.

Melisa: Look, you see...I had a lousy father. Lousy childhood along with animals that I adored, but they were scared of me. I hit on my mid-20's, I thought about having a son of my own. Heck, I never had a boyfriend on my age, neither having a kid of my future. What the heck do I know about raising a kid? Then you came barreling into my life.

(Y/N): Look, you don't have to...

Melissa: No, listen, I do. I have made a lot of mistakes, little one. A lot. And, ah...well, I'm not a perfect woman, but I do have high self-esteem.

She then pulled a cat ring out of her finger and shows it to you.

You looked at it for a moment and looked back at Melissa until you spoke up.

(Y/N): You're not proposing to a minor now, are you, Melissa?

You said in a jokingly manner.

Melissa: Not like that. I just wanna say that I'm thanking you for barging into my life. I mean, having you around feels like I have a son of my own, which I see you that way. I want to give this ring to you as a token of my gratitude.

(Y/N): Heh, alright then, I'll accept it.

You said as you took the cat ring from Melissa and wore it around your middle finger.

Melissa: It looks cute on you. Come on now, let's head back home.

Eventually, you and Melissa left the cave and bring back everything to the group.

So right now, Kazuma starts to use obsidian and began to build a portal to the Nether. Iris sees on what he was doing as she spoke up.

Iris: Hey, big brother. What are you doing?

Kazuma: Oh, I'm just building a portal.

Iris: A portal?

Kazuma: Yup! Besides, more adventures will appear once we go through this portal.

Iris: Oh, I see. Just let everyone know, okay?

Kazuma: It won't take long to build it...one more block...and there!

Kazuma says as he placed the final block at the top as the Nether portal was built.

He got down safely as he turns to Iris and spoke up.

Kazuma: Iris, I want you to get everyone else in here and tell them that I wanted to show them something.

Iris: O-oh, sure thing!

Iris said as she ran off to get everyone.

Everyone was now outside after Iris had called them.

Melissa: Alright, Kazuma. What is it that you want to show us?

Kazuma clears his throat.

Kazuma: Okay, everyone. I just wanna clear something that I built this piece of thing here is...a portal to another world.

Everyone was surprised at this except for you, Yuuki, Mitsurugi, Cupa, Stella, and Skelly.

Amy: A portal to another...world?

Darkness: Will it be able to get us home?

Cupa: No, not really.

Iris: Huh? What do you mean?

Iris questions as everyone turned to the mob girls.

Stella: It's actually a portal to the Nether.

Aqua: The Nether? What's that?

Kazuma: You'll see.

Kazuma says with a smile as he pulls a Flint 'n Stell out of his pocket as he sparks a light from the tool as the purple portal opens.

Kazuma: Alright, everyone! Enter the portal!

He says as Kazuma enters the portal and vanished. Everyone looked at each other and followed behind.

Once everyone entered the portal as they got out and looked around in awe.

Kazuma: Welcome to the Nether, everyone!

Kazuma announces as everyone was in awe until Aqua spoke up.

Aqua: Wait, this is the Nether? It looks like Hell to me!

(Y/N): Of course, it is. We're below the surface of the Overworld.

Melissa: Below the surface of the Overworld?

Yuuki: Yeah, we're in Hell, right now.

Mitsurugi: Yeah, no kidding.

Mia: Whoa...it looks a little hot in here!

Mia says as she uses her hand like a fan.

Wiz: It certainly is hot in here.

Skelly: Anyways, why are we here, Kazuma?

Skelly asked as Kazuma spoke up.

Kazuma: That's because we're going to find a Nether Fortress and get some requirements!

Marie: What kind of requirements?

Cupa: Do you have a plan or something?

Kazuma: Yup! My plan is to bring everyone home!

Everyone had their eyes perked up.

Iris: Wait, really?!

Kazuma: Uh-huh, and I know exactly how. Our objective is to defeat the Ender Dragon!

He says with determination as Amy spoke up.

Amy: The...Ender Dragon...?

(Y/N): Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the Ender Dragon is another creature from a place called the "End" world.

Melissa: Never heard of this "End" world, but I hope killing that dragon will make us go home.

Kazuma: That's correct. That was my only plan. However, we couldn't take the dragon down on our own early because we needed a few more people like us.

Mitsurugi: I see. We shall take the Dragon once we get all the requirements we needed.

Willow: The Nether Fortresses can be a bit hard to find, it's best if we all split up into groups to find it.

Willow suggests as everyone agrees.

(Y/N): Hold on first. I want to give everyone a potion.

Wiz: What kind of potion?

(Y/N): I have fire resistance potions.

Mia: Huh? What's that?

(Y/N): It's a potion that makes you fireproof. I have to warn you. There might be lava in this world, if you fall into the lava, you die. Don't drink the fire-resistant potion unless it's necessary, got it?

Aqua: Hold on, how can we be sure to trust this potion?

(Y/N): Allow me to demonstrate.

You said as you pulled out a splash potion of fire resistance and threw it on your feet. Just then, everyone sees that you had orange bubbles around you as you can feel the potion was affecting you.

You then walked into the pool of lava as everyone seemed to be genuinely worried about this. That's when they see you walked into the pool of lava without burning to death.

(Y/N): See?

Darkness: Wait, it's not hurting you?

(Y/N): Nope. Besides, you can try to go swimming in the lava pool if you'd like.

You said in a jokingly manner.

(Y/N): But anyways though, use that fire-resistant potion unless it's necessary.

You said as you give everyone each fire-resistant potion.

(Y/N): Once you drink it, the effect only lasts for eight minutes, use it wisely.

Everyone nods as Kazuma spoke up.

Kazuma: Alright, everyone. Let's form a group since there are three paths that we can split up.

(Y/N): So, who's going with me to the Northwest? Raise your hand.

Marie, (Y/N), Megumin, Yuuki, Willow, Iris, and Amy raised their hands as you nodded in response.

(Y/N): Alright, me, Marie, Megumin, Yuuki, Willow, and Amy will go with me to the Northwest.

Mitsurugi: Good, does anyone want to come to the South?

Mitsurugi asks as Stella, Darkness, Aqua, Melissa, and Wiz raised their hands.

Kazuma: Alright, who wants to go with me to the West?

Mia, Kazuma, Cupa, Melissa, and Skelly raised their hands as Kazuma nods in response.

Darkness: Alright, I guess that settles it then. Everyone, be careful. Be sure to leave a trail of torches, just in case if we get lost or cannot find a way back to the portal.

Everyone nods as they all split into different paths in the Nether.
