By the way, the purpose of light-R18 writing is most of the time to describe how sometimes, pathetic mc can be.

My eyes still faintly glowing in pink, I glanced toward the tiny figure.
In the next moment, I sat down the bed as I hugged a pillow, naturally hiding everything I wanted to hide.
"Are you listening nya~?" while I was still entranced by the first naked body I have seen in raw, I heard the high-pitched voice.
Finally then, did I turn my gaze upward. "Mh my bad. What were you about?"
"Listen to me!!" the cat-girl angrily berated my lack of attention.
"I am an assistant of the master managing the 7th floor of [Dungeon Tower] but master died of an accident so I came here to hire you. Are you following me nya, Rein-sama?" the cat-girl worriedly checked me out.
I nodded.
"The workload of managing floor 7 is very easy! You just design a floor and have a contract with monster to stop the adventurer from raising to higher floor!"
"Eh... that seems pain in the ass, I will refuse," I backed out, making an excuse.
In truth, I just hate competition against human. I don't have many experiences of winning against fellow humanity and even if I won against, it wasn't fun as the discomfort of tramping someone else hindered me from feeling so. At least, in my memory of playing dota.
"Why! Why! You haven't heard everything I have to say!" the cat-girl threw tantrum.
"Okay, look. Me, human. You not human. Humans are usually hated by other races (though I can sympathize with their feeling because I sometimes hate humans as well)" I got lazy of explaining thus the reason for my half-hearted explanation.
"Although few, humans are working at [Dungeon Tower] as well. Also, also, everyone at workplace are very kind!!" the cat-girl hurriedly explained to persuade me.
"The previous master died of accident, right? I don't want to risk my life nor kill someone at dungeon tower or something, with what I built/manage."
"Previous master died of an accident outside the dungeon tower! Inside the dungeon tower, is very safe! both for the raider side and the defender side. Even if you are killed inside, you will revive outside!"
"Rein-sama! Dungeon Tower isn't a place where the adventurer risks their life to obtain a treasure it's something where adventurer risks their sanity to obtain treasure, get stronger and entertain spectators!"
"Oh really? that kind of change the talk..." I'll be lying if I said I wasn't interested at all. After all, I've played an eroge in the past where you manage dungeon.
H Scene asides, the gameplay was quite fun.
"That's right! I haven't talked about it but, as a reward of managing tower, Rein-sama will automatically obtain 50% of the adventurers' dropped experience and 70% of their drop items."
"OHH!! So that means I can laze around in my house and still level up like an afk-farming macro bastard," I exclaimed excitedly, as a lazy person, I saw this as an absolute win.
Shit, I became too excited my see-through eyes saw past the cat-girl's skin. Organs' too grotesque and scary.'
The cat-girl handed me a contract paper.
As I was about to write my name on it, I smacked my head myself, 'that was close. I almost became an idiot who writes contract without reading the contents of paper.'
I read past the paper and it was about the same as what the cat-girl said. However, in last at the bottom, with a size barely seen by normal human's eyes, I captured something.
12. If the contractee were to fail to bring a designated resource (such as exp) within deadlines (two months), the contractee will be forced upon EXP Loan and any gained exp will be used to pay the EXP Loan.
After two consecutive failure of providing the designated resource within deadline, the contractee will be terminated from Dungeon Tower and will be punished of four months worth of EXP Loan.
What is this, no one mentioned about 'loan' I hate loan.
"I changed my mi-"
"Rein-sama, if you accept the offers, I-I will give you this most treasured object of mine!" a dizzy mark appeared on the cat-girl's pupils as she took out a skillbook from her pocket.

"Can I really take this one...?" I stared at the book that emitted a glory radiance, unable to blink my eyes.
That was a whooping 150 Charm and even without it activated, I still gets 75+ Charm. I don't have to do anything then I can have an 7/24 isekai mc experience.
Harem would instantly be the easiest thing I can do... not to mention the bonus stats upon activating this skill.
My hand which was holding the pen trembled.
'Can I take a shortcut? Can I take an easy-way out of the current situation?'
'Wouldn't the girl that come to like me would be flocking around me because of my charm, not because of me?'
.
.
.
My face darkened...
Before it brightened. "Aiyoo, I'm not making the same mistake for not wishing a cheat,"
I laughed like an idiot as my pen danced above the paper.
'An ugly person has no leisure to talk about charming another person through their effort.'
Finishing writing my name I swiftly snatched the skill book in the cat-girl's hand in fear of it escaping from my grasp as I consumed it.
