Chapter 8: Let’s Witness the Fight Between a parent and Child, Part 5

「Hey Aur, can I hop in already?」

「Not until I make sure that it is safe to use.」

Aur responded to Yunis’ nagging with an irritated voice.

They were in the middle of a Dungeon, so the appearance of hot springs in such a conveinient place was downright suspicious. It might as well be a clever trap to catch the potential intruders off guard.

「The temperature seems to be normal, and there are no traces of poison of any kind.」

「I still think it would be better if we just move along. This place is just too suspicious for my tastes.」

「Move along while I’m like this?」

Yunis pointed at her leaf-covered body and spread out her arms.

Aur’s condition was only slightly better. He was not covered with leafs, but he was still sticky with that mucus-like liquid from before. Most of it dried by now, but it left an unpleasant, itchy and scratchy feeling on his skin.

Under any normal circumstances, he wouldn’t have said no to a nice hot bath, but in their current situation, they had more pressing concerns on their hands.

He examined the surroundings one last time, confirming that there was no traps anywhere.

That action, however, was meaningless. At her current level, Sofia should be able to instantly create a trap anywhere within the Dungeon.

He sighted and declared:

「You can come in now, just don’t let your guard down.」

Since it has come to this, he might as well take a bath too.

「YAY!!!!」

With a joyful scream, Yunis tossed her clothes aside and dived into the hot water. Following after her, Hoseli also got rid of her clothes.

「Hahahaha, this feels so good!」

「Care to join us too, Master?」

「Yeah, you should totally come in!」

「Can you please stop pestering me about it so much?」

Seeing as how they were relaxing and stretching their limbs without a care in the world made Aur somewhat uneasy. To tell you the truth, he was going through an internal struggle. He wanted to join his two beautiful companions who beconned him with their healthy nakedness, but it didn’t change the fact that they were in the middle of the Dungeon, where danger could be lurking behind every corner.

「This water is really nice.」

Leaning against the edge of the bathtub, Yunis exposed the curves of her body. The pinkish tips that crowned her tanned hills tempted his eyes from beyond the steaming water, stimulating his instincts to suck on them.

「Master, you really don’t know what you’re missing on.」

Exposing her ears and tail, Hoseli stretched her body just like a cat. Her well trained muscles coupled with subtle curves created a seductive contrast that was hard to resist.

「You guys are doing this on purpose, aren’t you?」

Their attempt at seducing him was admirable, but he managed to stay calm regardless.

「This is so comfortable that it makes me sleepy… so sleepy.」

「So relaxing that it is… truly overwhelming…」

Both of them began to fall asleep in the baths. That was the moment when Aur realized that something was wrong here.

Why would simply taking a bath make them sleepy?

As he wandered about that, there was suddenly a loud noise and the bottom of the baths opened.

「This is exactly why I told you that we should move along!」

It was a trap, just as Aur suspected. He hastely deployed his invisible barrier and expanded it towards the baths. Their bottoms might’ve opened, but not a drop of water leaked out of them.

「I have to get them out of there.」

He morphed the cube into a palm, but it lacked the strength to carry bigger objects, including people, over long distances. So instead he used it to support Yunis, who have completely fallen asleep and was unable to move, and reached his hand towards her.


「I’m sorry. I never thought that there would be a trap that makes you fall asleep.」

「I feel ashamed of myself.」

「As you should be. The good thing is that we didn’t suffer any real casualties.」

Aur said to the two who were deeply sorry about letting their guard down despite all the warnings. And he was right to be angry at them, for there was nothing that could justify such unprofessional behavior.

「This must’ve been the work of the enemy’s Law.」

「Ah, you mean Mari’s!」

Aur could deal with physical traps, Hoseli was there to neutralize the poison related ones, but they had little to no countermeasures against Laws.

As stated numerous times before, Law are used to strengthen that which already exists, contrary to magic that creates something from nothing. In this case, it must’ve been used to strengthen the feeling of safety and comfort given by the hot water, resulting in the increased feeling of sleepiness.

If Yutsu was apparently collaborating with Sofia, then they should’ve anticipated that Mari also might have been coerced to do so. The fact that they didn’t anticipated that was a critical mistake on their end.

「Well, no use brooding about it now. I just have to swing my sword at any danger with twice the strength and vehemence!」

Yunis exclaimed as she patted the sword sheathed at her waist. This might have been a bold and reassuring statement, if not for the fact that aside from her sword belt she was only clad in her underwear, as the rest of her clothes and armor got washed away in that trap when Aur released his magic. The contrast between her tanned skin and the white undergarments was even more provocative than full nakedness.

「We assassins are trained to turn our very bodies into weapons. Not wearing anything is not a problem for me. In fact, I feel even better.」

Hoseli, as one might have expected from her words, wore nothing at all, she just stood in front of Aur in her birthday suit. He offered to lend her his robe, but she refused it, claiming that it will only get in the way of her movements.

Both she and Yunis didn’t seem to be particulaliry embarrassed by this whole situation. They were walking in front of him, acting as a vanguard, and Yunis’ big butt and Hoseli’s seductive hips continued to bounce right before his very eyes. This wonderful sight was both like a nectar and poison for his eyes and heart.

「Oh look, an enemy. I’ll go and lay waste to them!」

「I’ll prove to you that clothes are only a hindrance!」

The next wave of enemies consisted of the demons they encountered when they came to the volcano for the first time. They game Mari and Yutsu quite a run for their money, but to the skilled warriors like Yunis and Hoseli, they were nothing more but a cannon fodder.

Yunis slashed them from left to right with unparalleled speed, and Hoseli took them out with agile and precise movements available only to those not burdened with the weight of a sword. There was only one slight problem, or rather a few of them, to be exact.

With each strike, with every movement their breast shook and their crotches were profoundly exposed. They either not realized it, or realized and decided to ignore it for the moment.

「Tch, they might be weak as balls, but there’s just no end to them!」

「I suppose this might be my Mistress’s doing. She can create an indefinite number of those demons thanks to her power.」

So far they extirpated around a hundred of them. They managed to dispose of the first few waves without any problems, but not that the battle was dragging on, and possibly due to the fact that they just took a bath, their bodies were emitting copious amounts of sweat that made their bodies look erotically wet. Aur began to feel lightheaded, and he felt that some blood began to trickle out of his nose.

「Aur, are you alright?! You’re not hurt, are you?!」

Yunis jumped back to Aur’s side and inspected him closely. Form such a distance, her current appearance had all the more destructive power, with her sweat-glistening curves so close to his own body.

「Nothing, it’s nothing. I’m fine, really.」

Yunis must’ve deemed his behavior suspicious, because she just gave him a smug look while tilting her head.

「If you’re feeling aroused, then shall I service you with my mouth?」

「Think about time and place, you goddamn fool!」

Aur’s shouting voice sounded throughout the labyrinth.


「You know, now that I’ve taken a bath and exercise a little, I’m starting to feel hungry.」

Yunis remarked seemingly out of nowhere.

At the end of another aisle they passed through, there was a room with a table filled with all kinds of delicious-looking dishes.

「Don’t tell me you’re going to eat it?」

Yunis shook her head at Aur’s suspicious voice.

「There seems to be no poison in it though.」

「But that doesn’t mean that we should eat it. Didn’t that hot spring situation taught you anything?」

Now that they knew that pretty much everything could be a trap, they had to be on their toes more than ever. Even a slightest mistake could prove to be their undoing now. And it certainly didn’t help that Sofia apparently got better at throwing obstacles at them.

Nevertheless, Aur believed (or he really wanted to believe) that Yunis will be smart enough not to be deceived with such a blatant trap.

But despite his best intentions, despite his belief in her…

「Sorry Aur, but I’m just too hungry. I’m going to eat this!」

「Are you serious?!」

She just went and shat all over them.

He was too astounded to react, and before he knew it, she was already sitting at the table, putting her hands together in a prayer offered before meals. Then she quickly stuffed her mouth with the food that began to grow cold a little.

「Why on earth…?!」

He has already confirmed that Yunis was not influenced by any magic. She ate that food of her own accord.

「So delicious!!!!」

She cried out happily as she scooped herself a large serving of white rice and meat.

「This tastes just like the rice that Lilu made….」

Ever since Lilu took up cooking as her hobby, Yunis was acting like the taste tester for her, so she knew best how good she got when it came to operating around the kitchen.

Looking at how happy she was, he had some doubts about stopping her from further eating. Moreover, every dish looked like it was accompanied by some of her favorite seasonings.

「This also looks insanely good! And this, and this, and also that one!」

She gobbled up dish after this with impressive speed. Just how big was her stomach really?

「Thank you for the meal!」

After bringing her hands together and offering thanks for the food, her body fell down another pitfall that opened under every chair and table in the room.

「YUNISSSSSSS!!!!!」

Just in case he covered the floor of the room with his cube to prevent something like that from happening, but it amounted to nothing. There was only one person in the world who could bypass his magic like that. And now Aur was sure that Misha also must’ve cooperated with Sofia’s cunning ploy.

That’s why he knew that Yunis was in danger. Because Misha’s power of controlling the boundaries worked not only on connecting, but also blocking them.

「Now you’re just playing dirty, you brat!」

All that was happening, first the hot springs and the clothes situation, and now this… Sofia was clearly trying to do a number on him.

「If that’s how you want to play it, then so be it! As a fellow Dungeon Master, I cannot afford to lose to you!」

There was no other option left. He had to capture the Dungeon by force.
