Hugo


    The next morning, after breakfast, we departed to the markets to prepare for our next trip to the World Dungeon.


    However, there was also one problem we needed to decide on before we went there.


    Tira.


    We would once again leave her behind for another one or two months (the average amount of time needed to traverse a stratum by a skilled adventurer, according to the books I read). And after the incident, I couldn’t help but think it’s really unsafe to just leave her alone on the outside.


    Sure, the Ten Braves were no more, but what about other adventurers who might decide to kidnap her again just so to challenge us to a fight? It’s a slim possibility, since they would know we slaughtered them all without mercy, but who knew what crazy, reckless adventurers there were out there?


    —————


    The markets, as expected, were less bustling than usual. With war looming on the horizon, knowing that the strongest mage of Arborea had been defeated, they might just decide to skip town and go somewhere else. Somewhere safer to peddle their goods.


    We decided to split up. I would buy dried food while she would buy her alchemy ingredients. She said she wanted to make some potions, so after she did that, she would return early to the workshop. As for me, I was free to do whatever I wanted for the day.


    My target was the small shop in the corner of the block. It was a butcher and you could buy dried meat for cheap there if you bought a lot of them. After that, I would move on to my usual fish shop where I would buy dried fish. I could also purchase some fruits, salted ones at that.


    Yeah, to make them last, they had to be dried or salted. They didn’t taste great but they were sometimes better than the monster meat we got in the dungeon.


    “Adventurer. I found you at last.”


    All of a sudden, my path was blocked.


    A cloaked figure stood in front of me. A female elf with purple robes.


    “Hugo Greenwood. Or should I call you by your other name, Fujimora Takuto?”


    My blood froze.


    ——–


    Fujimora Takuto.


    That was my old name before I became Hugo Greenwood in this world.


    I never told it to anyone. Not to Marina, not to Felicia, not to Sherry.


    Then how? How could she know that name?


    “I know the truth. You were reborn in this world. Your soul, it was never part of this world. You don’t belong to Her.”


    “My name is Xaela, the administrator of Cradle 7. Or the Starswept Observatorium, according to your tongue. If you wish to know the truth of this world, then continue on deeper. I shall wait at the end of the fifth stratum.”


    “W-wait, administrator? The truth of this world? You’re not making any sense! A-and how do you know about all that? I’ve never told anyone about my other life!”


    “…The True Enemy’s eyes. You have been under her gaze from the very beginning. No, you even have met her. But you can’t remember. Not with the Veil.”


    “Like I said, you’re not making any sense! Are you a mind-reader? Is that how you know my past?”


    Before I realized it, I already aimed my wand at her.


    “The True Enemy is growing stronger, Her seal growing weaker. Another Cycle would be needed as sacrifice. And yet, I sense anomalies in the threads of fate. Is it because of you, o Unchained One? Once, another one of you destroyed the order of the world. Would you do it again?”


    “Stop it! Stop being so cryptic, damn you!”


    I was hyperventilating, cold sweat soaking my clothes all over.


    It was fear. Fear of my secret leaking out.


    All these thirteen years, I had taken advantage of the fact that I had an adult mind inside a kid’s body. I never thought anything of it, believing that no one would ever find out. Not even Myrilla, the mind-reader, bothered to dig deep into my mind. Just like in those isekai stories.


    But now, out of nowhere, a stranger said she knew all my secrets. If she were to tell Felicia, she would hate me for sure. Not only for being a disgusting, lazy slob in my old life, but also from keeping this big of a secret from her.


    “Come to the end of the fifth stratum. There, all shall be revealed. I promise this to you, Unchained One.”


    “Look! Why can’t you just spill the beans right now? It will take me months to get there! I have to restart from Floor 1 since I have a new friend I want to bring along with. So just cut the crap and explain yourself now!”


    “A friend?” She tilted her head. “Very well. I shall approve of your friend to go to the third stratum immediately. But you have to climb the rest. I wish to see your strength, o Unchained One.”


    Before I could reply, with a bright light, she disappeared.


    “H-hey, come back! Come back, goddamn you!”


    No response. I was yelling at no one.


    ——-


    For the rest of the day, I was pretty much on autopilot mode. I returned to the workshop after I finished my shopping, where Felicia was already busy making her potions. I told her that I was tired and I was going to take a nap.


    And now, I was laying down on the bed with my hands behind my head, thinking about that girl.


    ——-


    When I woke up, I was greeted by a pair of breasts I was all-too-familiar with.


    “Oh, you’re awake, Milord?” Felicia smiled. My head was now resting on her thighs and so I got a great view of her chest from down below. “What might be the matter? Do you have a nightmare again? You haven’t had one of those in a while.” Accentuating her question, she wiped a tear from my right eye with her finger.


    “Y-yeah…”


    My dream wasn’t about my family here though.


    It was about my old family, and how they all looked down at me for being a failure compared to them.


    My brothers and sisters were all really successful people, while I was just a lowly accountant. I could barely pay my rent. The rest of my income I used to fund my anime and videogame addiction.


    No savings. No future.


    “Then, let’s fix that, shall we?” A smirk appeared on her face. “I’m finished with my potions so tonight, we could have some fun together~”


    Without skipping a beat, she unzipped my trousers all the way before grabbing my penis, pulling it out from its confinement.


    “Tonight, I’ll use these two to pleasure you.” She squeezed her left breast. “You just relax and let me do all the work, alright?”


    Gently, she lifted herself off my head, placing it back down on the bed. She then proceeded to pull down the rest of my trousers and my underwear afterwards.


    “Oh my, you’re getting hard already?” She chuckled, squeezing my half-mast flag. “When was the last time I pleasured you, Milord? Really, as your future wife, I should be more proactive in this kind of thing.”


    She then pulled the straps of her top apart, allowing the full glory of her braless chest to be visible to my eyes.


    “Look as much as you want, Milord” she said with a sultry voice. “I work hard to keep them supple and firm, you know.”


    “W-work hard? You mean, like dieting?”


    “Not only that, but I also brew myself beauty potions from time to time. I hate exercising, you see.” She was now massaging my flag, quickly making it stand up in full mast.


    “Well, here goes nothing. Let’s hope it fits.”


    She lowered her chest, and…


    “A-ahn!” sea??h thё Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The two mounds were squeezing my flag so tightly I couldn’t help but let out a moan, earning a giggle from the alchemist.


    “That’s an adorable moan, Milord. Try not to finish too fast, alright?”


    She began moving her chest back and forth, massaging my flag with the firm pressure of her two mounds.


    “Ahhh…hnnn…”


    “Hehe, I’m glad you’re enjoying it, Milord. I see I haven’t lost my touch.”


    “Y-yeah, you’re always… haa… really good… ahhh… at this…”


    “Oh dear, you’re already leaking on the tip. That’s no good. Let me handle that.”


    Before I could brace myself, her tongue licked the tip of my flag.


    “Ahhh!”


    She licked methodically, matching the rythm with the movements of her boobs. I could see the trail of my pre-cum going all the way to her red cherry lips.


    “H-hey, you might want to… brace yourself… I’m reaching my limit…”


    “Already?” She let out a small giggle. “Then let it all out, Milord. Your hot liquid all over my face… I love it, you know.”


    “Y-you love it?”


    “Oh, haven’t I told you? I love the scent and taste of it. I just can’t get enough. So please, let it out as much as you can.”


    “Gaahhh!”


    My cannon fired full force, spurts after spurts after spurts. I was too caught up in my own euphoria to even see how Felicia reacted.


    “Haaa… haa… haa… ahhhh….”


    I opened my eyes to see the mess I had made.


    My white stuff was all over her body. From her breasts, to her chin, to her cheeks and nose—some even got all the way to her hair.


    “Aahh, well done, Milord. Still as healthy as ever.” She smirked. “Any woman you sleep with will get pregnant for sure. Luckily, you have me to make contraceptive drugs. Unlike those sold in the average alchemy shops, mine always works 100% of the time. So you don’t have to worry about anything when you sleep with me or that Sherry girl.”


    “R-right…”


    “Feel better now, Milord?” She grabbed my hands and smiled.


    “Y-yes, of course.”


    I’m going to clean up for a bit then I’ll cuddle you to sleep.” She sat up. “Just so the nightmares won’t come back. Just like mine.”


    As she moved to the other side of the room and took off the rest of her clothes off, I could only sigh internally.


    That gloomy thought soon disappeared, however, the moment she bent over and pulled her red panties down her firm butt.


    I could only stare red-faced as she washed her intensely erotic body with a water spell.


    ——-


    The next morning, we went to Theo’s apartment after having our breakfast. We told him and the others of our plan on bringing Tira along. We also explained to them why the elf could come even though she had yet to reach the third stratum.


    “Hmph! The dungeon’s administrator, you say? Are you sure you’re not just daydreaming?” Tama eyed me suspiciously.


    “I know it’s hard to believe but it’s true.” I replied.


    “I trust you, Master!” Theo smiled. “An administrator, huh? I never heard of something like that myself! But doesn’t that mean they run the dungeon? I thought that’s the job of the Dungeon Core.”


    “World Dungeons do not have Dungeon Cores,” Felicia interrupted. “Or so those scholars believe. They are of the opinion that an ancient system is in charge of the place instead.”


    “An ancient system?” Theo tilted his head.


    “Built by the Progenitors, the civilization that constructed the place long in the past.”


    Theo scratched his head.


    “I’ll go.” Tira spoke up with a smile. “I’ll make a quick visit to the tavern, telling them I’ll be going away for a while. I’m sure they’ll understand. The owner has been really kind to me, you see. Though I will have to apologize in advance for being a burden. I can wield a spear but I’m still a very weak fighter, especially compared to you two.”


    “Hey, you’re just going to go along with this?” Tama replied. “You know it’s because of him you two are dragged into this mess!”


    All of a sudden, the smiling elf returned a terrifying glare towards the catkin.


    “Please do not badmouth Sir Hugo like that. He saved me, he saved Theo, and he saved you as well. We all owe him our lives.”


    “…H-hmph, fine! But, as your son’s mother, I’m going to protect you as well! Got it?”


    “Of course. I’m counting on you, my future daughter-in-law.” She giggled.


    ——–


    After Tira returned from her brief outing, she changed into her adventurer outfit, which, to my surprise, was actually somewhat erotic. Her skirt was awfully short and there was a slit that teased to show panties. Since she was shorter than me though, I couldn’t see anything.


    Her weapon of choice was a spear with a green tip. I believed it was a crystal of some kind.


    “Hey, is that a magic weapon you got there?”


    “Hmm? This?” She gave her spear a confident twirl. She was already used to wielding it for sure. “No. It’s just an elven spear. The rock on the tip there is a Melchencrystal. It’s a better material than steel but it possesses no enchantments whatsoever.”


    “Melchen… Crystal?”


    “It’s a crystal only found in the elven territories in the Holy Continent,” she explained.


    “Ah, I see…”


    ——-


    With everything set and ready to go, we departed to the dungeon at last.


    The moment we got there, however…


    “W-whoa, those two are…”


    “Hugo Greenwood and Felicia Myne! The Worthless Wanderers! They killed the Ten Braves! Just the two of them!”


    “B-better stay away from them. They’re beyond the level of even S-rank adventurers for sure!”


    “Monsters. That’s what they are. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are secretly demons.”


    “You think they’re going to side with the demons in the war? T-that’s really bad, isn’t it?”


    “Hmph, even if they do, Lady Marlene is still going to make short work of them. Her power is only rivaled by a Demon Lord after all.”


    The gatekeeper didn’t even bother asking for our permit. He just stepped to the side and wished us luck in our exploring. He even gave us a quick bow in the process.
