episode_0176

The dungeon that Argantir ordered to subdue was a new dungeon located about five days away by horseback from Vainen.

Since the first search party did not return, detailed information is unknown, but judging from the flow of magic power and the size of the entrance, there is a high probability that it is a middle-level dungeon.

“You know how a new dungeon is created, right?”

“I heard that the space magic that creates and maintains the deep dungeon malfunctioned, causing some sections to be transferred to another location.”

“That’s correct. I understand.”

My mother smiled and continued explaining.

“In the case of lower-level dungeons, there are cases where caves that originally existed were expanded downward, but it is safe to say that all dungeons above the 6th floor were created through transfer.”

Space magic malfunction.

In terms of setting, it’s clear… It was because the spatial magic lost control and ran wild due to the death of the Demon King Ekashas, the old demon king who deployed spatial expansion magic in the deep dungeon, right?

That was why the world was full of dungeons that were not connected to the demons’ underground kingdom.

If you think about it, the monsters there are also displaced people who were swept up in an unexpected disaster and lost their way back.

It seems unlikely that low-intelligence monsters would have the concept of home.

“Dungeons that have been transferred for a long time have their own order and system, but the inside of the newly transferred dungeons is chaos itself. This dungeon will be the same as well. So, please be careful.”

The new dungeon is dangerous. That’s what my mother said. Perhaps that warning was my mother’s true intention when she suddenly started giving lectures on dungeon studies.

Because you care about me.

“Yes, I will be careful.”

I nodded with a serious face, as if I had taken that warning to heart.

“Okay, then that’s the end of the class. Due to schedule, we have to leave right away tomorrow, so make sure you get some rest today.”

Was that answer right? My mother ended the long dungeon lecture with a smile mixed with trust and relief.

“Whew….”

Friede, who was barely able to resist the feeling of sleep, let out a sigh of relief and sank down.

◆◆

The next morning, we took the food prepared by Marie and set out on a trip to the dungeon.

“Um, mother. This sword….”

“Take it with you. Edelmuth would also like it to be wielded by an excellent knight rather than one decorated in a mansion.”

Before I left, I tried to return the long sword that my mother lent me, but he refused, saying that I needed it more than he who would stay at the mansion.

For me, I could only thank you.

“Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask. Was Edelmut helpful in the fight against the Abyss Priest?”

help? That was incredibly helpful.

“Uh…yes. Thanks to you, my life was saved.”

Edelmut saved my life. It was not an expression of gratitude mixed with humility. Rather, it is the truth without any exaggeration.

If it weren’t for Edelmuth’s sacred barrier, he would have had to endure significant injuries to kill Ganagle, and in that case, he would not have been able to withstand Ariane and would have been annihilated in the end.

To put it a bit further, it was as if my mother had saved my life.

No, not just mine, but Friede’s life as well.

“That’s a good thing. I think I made a good decision to lend it to you.”

My mother smiled at my answer and lightly tapped the hilt of the Edelmut sword hanging on my waist, as if praising a child.

“Then, please be careful. Don’t get hurt or get into an accident.”

“Yes, I will arrive safely, Mother.”

A similar sendoff as last time.

I was a little embarrassed because I thought I knew why the phrase “don’t get into accidents” was added, but I didn’t show it and just smiled and nodded in response.

Since I wasn’t dealing with people or going that far, I was wondering if something like an accident could happen.

Tap, tap.

Schwarz, carrying Friede and I, left the mansion and headed west.

My mother continued to watch us in front of the gate for a while, and only after we had moved away did she turn around and enter the mansion.

It was around that time.

“…The word ‘mother.’ You’ve completely put it into your mouth now, haven’t you?”

Friede spoke to me with a subtle expression on her face that seemed to be smiling or smiling.

“Huh? Why all of a sudden? Is there some problem?”

I’m not some kind of Hong Gil-dong, and I call my mother “mother,” so what should I call her?

On the contrary, I think it would seem rather unloving to now use a derogatory title like ‘Lord Veloren’.

Even if they are adopted daughters who are not related by blood, the mother-daughter relationship is still a mother-daughter relationship.

“Mother…Lord Veloren said he would treat me as his daughter, so I should also treat him as my mother. Isn’t that only natural?”

“Is that so…um…ummm….”

Friede slowly turned his head to look at the distant mountain, and gently touched his lips as if he still had something to ask me.

“Hey, Hilde… So… Are you happy that you have two mothers…?”

What?

“Uh…what?”

A pad lip that came out of nowhere. I was startled and asked what that meant.

Speaking of the Niami Even Declaration, who would have imagined that such bad words would come out of our Friede’s mouth?

I wasn’t angry, I was just embarrassed.

“Friede? What on earth does that mean….”

“…I was wondering if you were so happy to have a new mother.”

Friede sighed lightly. He revealed that the declaration of double love just now was not a padded lip, but was purely a question.

“At first, they said it was just a fake identity relationship… but now I thought they would believe that they were real mother and daughter. It seemed like they had become closer to each other that much….”

A grumpy tone of voice asking when did we become so close? It was a complaint like that of an eldest child who lost his parents’ attention to his younger sibling.

… What, is he jealous now?

I blinked my blue eyes and looked down at Friede.

Are you jealous of the special relationship between mother and daughter? Oh, no way, what kind of kid… .

“I am the person closest to Hilde…sometimes even closer than me….”

Oh my gosh, you’re right to be jealous. Jealousy is right.

‘So cute…’ !’

I blushed a little and raised the corners of my mouth as I felt something tickling filling my chest.

Friede lowered her head, muttered quietly, and kept wiggling her index fingers together.

He was trying hard to hide his envy between me and his mother, but the sight of him not being able to hide it at all was so cute that it was hard to bear.

… Actually, unlike before, I have become very weak to this cute appearance. Is it because I have transformed into a woman’s body?

That’s because the mind and body are more closely connected than you think, and when the body changes, the mind also changes.

I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing… At least, I knew very clearly what I should do now without having to worry about it.

“Maybe…maybe, the person Hilde truly wants…the person she needs…maybe I’m not me….”

“What, were you worried about that?”

I lifted Friede slightly from behind, turned her halfway around, faced her, and hugged her tightly.

“Huh, huh?! Uh, huh…?”

Friede reflexively hugged my waist with her legs and let out a strange groan. My bright red face was so funny that I burst into cheerful laughter.

“Anyway, if you worry too much. Look at me, Friede. Throw away those anxieties and look straight at me.”

Friede raises her head and looks up at me. My face, smiling, was contained in the golden pupils that were trembling violently.

“Uh…uh…over there, I mean….”

“Shh.”

I lowered my head and kissed her eyelids.

Hike! Friede takes a short breath. Her shoulders fluttered as if she had been shocked.

Without removing her lips from her eyelids, she lowered them as if skimming her cheeks, and when she finally reached her small lips, her shoulders began to tremble even more violently.

licking.

The tongue slyly sticks out, leaving a shiny mark on her lips, digging into the gap between them and forcing the closed teeth open.

“Ugh…!”

Friede’s trembling tongue hugged the visitor who entered without hesitation, tangling like a snake and sharing the wet heat.

Grumble.

Flesh mixed with flesh, and the saliva that leaked out between the gaps ran down Friede’s chin and dripped onto my chest.

A sweet, murky puddle formed between the cleavage exposed above the armor.

“Hmm….”

A pool of saliva with a rich scent of fresh lemon and subtle strawberry.

The slippery liquid slowly flowed between the two pieces of flesh, creating a strange sensation that was difficult to describe.

A sensation as if something warm and soft is rubbing against the inside of your chest. It wasn’t an unpleasant feeling. On the contrary, I felt a little better.

I hugged Friede even more deeply and indulged in her mouth for a long time. Until Schwarz let out a long cry as if to come to his senses.

“Eup, puha…!”

The lips finally fell.

I hid the long string of saliva hanging between my lips and smiled brightly at Friede, who was looking at me with a dazed expression on her face.

“Are you still anxious?”

Friede shook her head. Cheeks so hot that they couldn’t get any redder. With an expression that says I’m not afraid of anything anymore.

The jealousy in his golden eyes disappeared as if it had been washed away, and only boundless affection and longing filled the empty space and slowly leaked out.

The two lips met once again, and their heated breath became a hazy breath that spread like fog.

“Heeheeheeheehee!”

Schwarz let out a pitiful and irritated cry, as if to tell him not to do anything stupid on his back.
