Several Weeks Later, after Part 2...

Kaede: Senpai's M.I.A.?

Ai: Affirmative, Kaede. The groups sent out both sea and land hasn't got any luck. Our nappers seems to have an experience with tracking devices. They're jammed.

Kaede: That's it. I'm searching too. Ai, take charge.

Ai: Understood. Wish you luck, Kaede.

Kaede: (transforms, and heads out)

Shira: Ai, can I enter?

Ai: Sure. What's the problem?

Shira: I reconnected my senses to Shiro that night when he got missing, and I suddenly felt being tied up tightly.

Ai: Tied up? That's pretty strange. Is there anyone that has that fetish?

Shira: Other than Shade, but she only ties his hands, not the whole body, so no one. Must be another target the curse had struck.

Ai: Shira, I've been curious about that curse. What is it, anyway?

Shira: It's a curse, or more like a blessing in our perspective. Mainly the reason Shiro has so many girlfriends.

Ai: Oh, the Harem Curse. Is there anything special about it?

Shira: Of course. Mia and I did some research a month ago, and eventually knew that its actual name was Relationship Curse. The curse will increase those who are closely related to the target. Dunno why it's considered a curse, though. You've noticed a heart somewhere on your body, right?

Ai: After we met him, a heart appeared just above my crotch. Same on Lisa. Creator's on her back, though.

Shira: The marks seems to have a meaning. From what she said, hearts are basically lovers, spades are loyal friends, clubs are supporters, and diamonds. The last one still puzzles me. What did she mean by that?

Ai: Mean by what?

Shira: I'll say the exact words. "The target can force a contract on a person, but the mark will always be a pink diamond. It has one magic, called Priofar, limiting the person's physical and magical abilities." probably why it's considered a curse. So far, only Junko has both that diamond, and a heart. Don't know the red diamond, though.

(P.S: ChaosZone also has this gimmick, but the only difference is that the marks are glowing here in the First World)

Ai: Pink? Oh.. a deck of cards. And, true. That does sound puzzling.

Shira: Yes, but-

Kyoko: Slave. The pink diamond means forcing a slave contract, on the person. But, shouldn't diamonds represent wealth, or something in general?

Ai: Fact confirmed. Probably the fact slaves are usually bought from slave merchants.

Shira: Didn't notice you there, Kyoko. I'll keep track on Shiro's health. I can't know where he is, but I can sense what his kidnapper's actions are. And I'll research on what the diamonds fully mean. Later.

Kyoko: Spades are loyal friends, huh? (Lifts her blouse up a bit, revealing a gray spade on her waist) Why on my waist, though?

Ai: Don't ask me. Probably a randomized place on our body.

Location: Unknown

Me: (wakes up, and looks at himself) Still a kid. Yeah, only he can remove this. Where are we, anyway? (looks up) Oh. Unknown.

Hallrow: Dude, you're finally awake. And naked.

Me: Huh?? (looks down) Aahhh!!!

Hallrow: (covers Shiro's body with his string) Those two are idiots. My sisters, I mean.

Me: Sisters?

Hallrow: Crimtane and Demonite. My nuisances of a sister. Just like me, they're both string users, before I became a Dungeon Master. I've done a search around the place, and it seems like we're at my ruined dungeon after all.

Me: (looks around) It does indeed. But why am I naked?

Hallrow: *sigh* Those two ate you, figuratively.

Me: Ate me? Oh.. So that's their kink. Hallrow, can you spare me the time explaining your sisters?

Hallrow: Gladly. They're both string users, just like I said earlier. They have one flaw, however. Their powers are halved when they're far apart, or one of the two is out cold. Their powers combined, they're on the same level as me.

Me: Anything else?

Hallrow: Crimtane's strings are stronger than steel, and prefers melee combat. But, seeing your strength when we fought, you can easily bite her strings off. If you weren't a kid. Demonite, on the contrary, prefers ranged combat, using a bow, and arrows made from her strings. Anyway, it seems like those two are the Dungeon Masters of this place now. Not for guarding a treasure, though.

Me: There is, though. Just ten floors below us. It seems to be a pair of gauntlets.

Hallrow: I didn't expect that. Show me.

Me: I can, if I could. Being a kid, also halves my abilities.

Hallrow: That aside, I don't see Nerissa, nor the Asakusa sisters.

???: We're here, you dolt. Inside this jewelry box. Get us outta here.

Me: Hallrow, can you picklock this?

Hallrow: Never tried that, but it's worth a shot. (Uses his strings to force the box open)

- Hallrow manages to get the box open, revealing both Nerissa and the Asakusa sisters' pendants. After fixing his necklace, they began their descent.
