Episode 37: Becoming The Dungeon Master (8)

After making the Dryad rest, I started my work.

“Kerek…”

“Kkurek…”

“Ah, these cowardly creatures.”

But my minions were completely nervous, constantly looking around. Maybe it was true what they said about apex predators. They were all terrified of the Dryad.

There was no need for that, though.

Certainly, seeing their fear, it was clear that the Dryad was not under my monster control magic yet.

Take the kobolds, for example; as soon as they were under my control, they were no longer afraid of Buril or Imsoong. Conversely, they did not view the kobolds as prey either.

“It’s okay. It’s fine, so start working quickly.”

“Kerekerek…”

“Buril, grab a shovel.”

Now, there were two shovels. Thinking about how work efficiency would explode made me almost cry with joy. How could someone be so grateful just for two shovels?

One learned to appreciate a lot in this place.

—Peruk!

—Sarak.

We continued digging.

“…”

Every once in a while, when I looked back, I locked eyes with the Dryad.

“Did you roll to the side?”

She was lying on her side, looking at me, covering herself with my coat like it was a blanket. Did she really like me? She didn’t seem to want to leave and just watched from there.

“…Do you really plan to live with me?”

Well, that would be… quite nice, I guess.

But for now, I should tread carefully.

“Hm?”

Flowers were blooming around the Dryad. Small grasses, too. Weren’t they not there before? Was it magic? She truly was a spirit of the forest. Clearly loved by nature. It was really quite fascinating.

Time passed in this manner.

Having worked hard, it was time to eat.

Once we ate, it would start to get dark. Then we would go to the waterside to wash. Then, we would come back to sleep.

This was our daily routine.

“Guys! Let’s eat! Gyuil! Bring food with your siblings!”

“Gyus!”

Gyuil, Gyui, Gyusan. Honestly, they all looked the same, so I couldn’t tell who was who. Whichever one I pointed out as Gyuil on any given day became Gyuil.

Gyuil answered energetically and brought back the stored food with his siblings. Some fruits and leftover meat from earlier. They were our rough rations.

“Let’s light a fire and eat.”

But…

“Dryad?”

The Dryad was still there, watching us from afar. I waved her over.

“Come here! Let’s eat together!”

“Shaa?”

“Come here.”

—Tuktuk.

I tapped the seat next to me.

“Shaa, Shaa…”

The Dryad rose from her seat and walked over cautiously. As expected, body language worked. Although we didn’t share a language, she seemed smart.

By the way…

“Heh, heh!”

“Huff, huff!”

“Kyu-saah!”

When the Dryad approached, weren’t these little creatures trembling and bumping their heads into me out of fear? They were doing this because they were scared.

“Hey, hey. It’s okay. Sit down.”

“Heh-heh!”

“Hey, dude. I said it’s fine. Why aren’t you sitting quickly?”

“Keurereuk…”

When I gave an order, they reluctantly listened. These cute creatures, especially Buril.

“Sha-a?”

The Dryad just tilted her head as she watched my monsters. That was how our awkward meal started.

“Keurereuk…”

“Huff.”

My subordinates ate fruits and meat while staying cautious. The Dryad was sitting modestly beside me, on her knees.

“Dryad? Eat this too.”

“Sha-a?”

So I handed her a fruit.

“Yes. Eat. It’s okay.”

“Sha-a-a…”

She quietly took it.

-Chomp.

Holding it with both hands, she nibbled on it gently like a squirrel.

“Hehehe, your mouth is really small. So you eat fruits? How about other things?”

“Sha-a.”

“Don’t you eat meat?”

I had seen her tear apart a goblin’s head and taste its blood. So, I tore a piece of roasted bird meat and gave it to her.

“This. It’s roasted meat.”

“Sha-a?”

“Try it.”

“Sha-a.”

She ate this, too, very modestly. After swallowing, the Dryad said,

“Sha-a-sha-a!”

-Flap flap.

She flapped her leafy ears, laughing.

“Is it good?”

“Sha-a!”

“Hehehe, eat a lot.”

Considering she was eating with me, I should assume we now had a friendly relationship. My subordinates looked anxious during the meal, but I enjoyed it.

After finishing the meal, I stood up.

“I’m going to wash up now… What about you?”

“Sha-a.”

“Coming with? Fine, let’s go together. Guys, get up. Let’s wash up.”

“Keurereuk…”

“Kyu…”

We moved immediately to the waterside.

“Wow.”

I was alone when I first came, but now I had five subordinates and a beauty by my side. Above our heads, there was even a sunset. Life was good, wasn’t it?

“Hey. Get in quickly.”

“Keurereuk.”

After reaching the waterside, I undressed and entered the water. So did Buril, Imsoong, and the Kobolds. We all washed up familiarly.

“…”

The Dryad just stood by the waterside, watching us. Even when I took off my clothes, she showed no particular reaction.

However.

Wasn’t she going to wash up?

“Dryad?”

“Sha-a?”

“Do you… umm. Not wash?”

If the Dryad bathed here.

Well…

Her nakedness.

Might I be able to see it once again?

“Ke-rerk!”

“Gyusat-sat!”

My washed subordinates were the first to head to the water’s edge and shake off the water from their bodies. I was about to follow them when suddenly…

“Shya-a.”

“Oh…!”

ㅡSaruk.

The leafy underwear set wrapped around the Dryad’s body automatically got undone and blew away with the wind.

Thus, the Dryad was now naked.

“…”

I was entranced by her figure.

Her large breasts and the pink nipples attached to them… Below her slim waist was a pair of plump buttocks. The absence of any hair made her appear even more provocative. Truly, she had a stunning figure.

“Shya-shya.”

The Dryad then slowly approached the water and came closer to where I stood.

“Uh, wait? Hey? Hold on. What’s…?”

“Shya-a…”

The now-naked Dryad.

Slowly, she approached me.

And then.

ㅡChwa-ak.

She began to splash water on herself and started bathing.

“Hmm?”

“Shya-a!”

It seemed as if this was her usual way of bathing. She was just washing up ordinarily, rinsing her head and scrubbing her body… Ah, damn it. I got my hopes up.

“Shya-shya.”

“…”

Did she not care that I was watching? A bare, sexy woman was fearlessly bathing in front of me. The sight was too stimulating as she scrubbed her body, caressed her thighs, and even grasped her breasts.

“Khu-hup.”

I decided to step out of the water.

Being so close was too much for me.

ㅡChwa-hak.

The Dryad continued her bath.

“…”

Such a breathtaking sight. There wasn’t a man who wouldn’t be entranced by the sight of such a beautiful woman bathing in the nude. I felt drawn into the beauty of her figure.

After what seemed like an eternity,

ㅡJeobuk-jeobuk.

The soaking-wet Dryad emerged from the water.

And then,

“Shya-a.”

ㅡGooo.

“Ah…!”

A greenish aura flowed out from her body…! She was enveloped in a light reminiscent of fireflies!

What kind of magic was this? Upon closer inspection, her body was drying, her skin became soft, and her hair had added luster.

Simultaneously,

ㅡSaruk.

Leaves from somewhere attached themselves to her breasts and private area, forming the shape of underwear.

“Wow…”

In a place without shampoo, conditioner, or body wash, her secret to maintaining such beauty… was that magic. Even her clothes were conjured in such a manner.

“Shya-shya!”

The Dryad, having completed her magical preparation, approached me with a broad smile and clung to me.

“Hehe, seriously.”

“Shya-shya.”

She rubbed her face against me, laughing as if in a good mood… Her earlier bathing scene overlapped in my mind, driving me crazy.

“Ah, anyway, you mean we’re going together, right?”

“Shya-a!”

“Then, let’s go… guys, let’s move out.”

“Ke-ruk…”

Let’s return to the dungeon.

In the end, the Dryad clung to me and followed me all the way to the front of the dungeon.

“Don’t you have a home? Anywhere else to stay?”

“Shyaa?”

“She doesn’t get it. Ah, geez. What should I do?”

Should we enter the dungeon together and sleep there?

“Should we go in together?”

“Shyaa?”

It was really inconvenient since we couldn’t communicate. So, I decided to enter the dungeon first. Of course, as if it was only natural, the Dryad followed me inside.

“Shyaashyaa.”

“Oh boy. Hm?”

But then.

Upon entering the dungeon, the Dryad looked around.

“Shyaa!”

Seeming to find a spot she deemed suitable, she chose a place and knelt down. That was when it happened.

ㅡSarureuk.

Grass and flowers began to bloom around her.

“Oh, whoa…!”

Plants suddenly sprouted from the dirt floor! Seeing this, the Dryad lay down on them. And then.

“Shyaashyaa.”

ㅡTaktak.

She patted the spot next to her.

“What, what? You want me to lie down next to you?”

“Shyaa, Shyaa. Shyaashyaa.”

ㅡTaktak.

She kept patting beside her.

“Oh, you made something like a bed.”

In that case.

I should lie down next to her.

“Well… I’ll lie down then.”

“Shyaashyaa.”

“Hold on. Demon Breath!”

ㅡHwureureuk!

Before lying down, I breathed out the Demon Breath into the air and brushed my teeth. The flames consumed everything in my mouth, leaving a refreshing sensation. It was truly convenient. It felt like brushing and gargling all at once as if rinsing my mouth with water multiple times.

“Shyaa?”

“I’m going to lie down now.”

I promptly went and lay down next to the Dryad.

“Is this okay?”

“Shyaa!”

The moment I lay down, the Dryad hugged me tightly!

“Heok!”

She was way too forward!

A soft sensation on my face…!

And right at that moment!

“Ke, Kerureuk…”

“Kkureuk!”

“Gyusatsat!”

My five subordinates approached, seemingly out of concern! Those guys! They must’ve thought I was captured by a monster!

That was what I initially thought, but…

“Shyaaaaaaaa!”

Suddenly, the Dryad raised her head and let out a threatening sound.

“Keryaaaaaaaak!”

“Kkurururung!”

“Gyushashashashashashat!”

ㅡHudadadak!

All those little brats ran at full speed towards the innermost part of the dungeon! Abandoning me! These ungrateful jerks!

But more importantly, right now!

“Dr, Dryad?”

“Shyaa? Shyaashyaa.”

As I called her, she, who just threatened my minions a moment ago, hugged me with a smile as if it was all a lie.

“This…”

Could it be?

Did she chase them away because she wanted to be alone with me?

“Shyaa…”

Was this… really the mood for mating?

Was it?
