CH 113

Fooh, Fooh

I feel something moving, and at the same time I can touch it.

It's so fluffy, and feels so good to the touch.

"Master's smell."

Sniff, Sniff, Fooh.

What is this feeling?

It feels so good, I like it.

"Master..."

Who is that person talking?

I don't care though, I just want to keep playing.

"Master, Master, Master."

My eyes open little by little.

My consciousness begins to emerge and I know I'm close to waking up.

"Whoa!"

"?"

When I sit up, I see Kaede in front of me.

"Good morning."

"Yes! Good morning!"

...?

What is this strange feeling?

I looked down, and found that my chest is slightly damp.

When I looked at Kaede again, her face was very red and her fox ears were flattened.

She looks at me with downcast and wet eyes.

Toph!

"My Lord! Let's have breakfast!"

"Kyui!"

The door slams open, and Frau and Panda burst in.

Monica enters a few seconds later.

"Let's go have breakfast at a restaurant that serves pancakes,Kaede. We'll eat lots of sweet things together!"

"Hey, wait, Monica-san!"

Monica grabs Kaede's arm and forces her to go with her.

What's this?

Under the bed, there was a scroll used to enhance the sense of smell.

Pancakes with honey on top.

Kaede's face immediately breaks into a smile.

"Isn't it delicious?"

"Yes, it's very delicious."

"It's the sweetest thing I've ever tasted, I'm a bundle of happiness."

The three of them happily ate their breakfast.

I took a bite, but it wasn't too sweet, it was moist and it was the kind of pancake that makes you want to take another bite.

We only visited stores recommended by Monica, the Marquis' daughter.

"I was surprised to learn that elves live by the sea. I thought they never came out of the woods."

"Of course I like the forest, but I can't give up the comfort of living on the abundant food and ruins."

Is it safer and more comfortable to live by the sea than in the forest?

If Alusha heard that, she would say, "You're a disgrace, you've abandoned your roots!" and then get very angry.

"Monica, can you also use spirit magic?"

"Of course. I have a contract with a water spirit."

I used my dragon eye, and saw a fish around Monica's shoulders.

The fish noticed my gaze and hastily hid behind Monica.

I always felt that spirits were sensitive to my dragon eyes.

"From here you can clearly see the giant sword."

"It's so big, it's a wonder they made it."

We gaze at the towering sword from our seats on the terrace.

It is about 300 meters tall.

It's a simple design, but its overwhelming size makes it seem so majestic.

It's another spectacular sight, which you can't see unless you come here.

"Today we'll visit some ruins."

"Are they near here?"

"The ruins of Sinus are by the sea. It's a popular place for adventurers. And it hasn't been explored yet. There's a locked gate at the end, so no one has seen it from the inside."

I like the sound of that.

It's not a bad idea to get some valuables here for the trip.

If only for the fact that it's a ruin by the sea, it's even more exciting.

Ruins of Sinus... The ruins of an ancient species, whose purpose of construction and use is unknown, located by the sea.

The exterior resembled a temple, made of stone and crumbling in parts.

Near the entrance to the ruins, we saw several adventurers.

Apparently, they have come in search of materials to hunt monsters.

But why are they always wearing bathing suits?

We quickly went deeper into the ruins with Monica's guidance.

"There is water in the passage."

"That's natural, since it's by the sea."

"Isn't the lower level almost submerged...?"

"Yes. But we have taken all the necessary precautions."

Suddenly, Monica opened her chest to reveal her swimsuit clad breasts.

My gaze lingered as I watched the two mountains move with great intensity.

"Master, don't look!"

"Hueeh!?"

Kaede hurries to cover my eyes.

But she's in a bathing suit, what's the problem?

Besides, she didn't react fast enough when she covered my eyes.

I've already seen everything.

"If you need to change into your swimsuit, you should have said so."

"Oh sorry, do you need one?"

"I already have one, I have it in my luggage. But next time, be sure to give us a heads up."

"I'm sorry, I apologize to the cute Frau."

"Cute!? Hueeh!"

Frau blushes at the compliment.

"Aero Slash."

The monster in the hallway was slashed by the wind blade.

The remaining monsters fled the scene after the boss was killed.

"Fufu. Frau and her friends are very strong."

"Kyui."

"What do you mean I didn't do anything?  Kaede's credit is also Frau's credit.

"Kyu, kyukyukyukyu!"

"You asked for it, Panda!"

Above my head, Frau and Panda are arguing again.

It's good that they're close, but I'm trying to think right now.

Kaede, Monica and I would strip the monsters of any useful materials.

I then put away all the gathered materials in my magic storage.

"You'd better find a new storage room. This one has little capacity."

"Really? I think it's quite spacious."

"If you go to a dungeon, you can find lots of them, almost a thousand of them. They say they have a capacity of up to 10,000 items."

Really? Is there a magic storage item with that much capacity around here?

I guess there are items here that aren't available on the island.

I would like to go to one of those dungeons at some point.

Going through the old passage, we find a staircase.

But it's completely filled with seawater, and we'll have to swim to continue from here.

"I'm going to change. Wait here a minute."

"Then I'll be there."

I change into a bathing suit in a remote spot.

I hear sounds of rustling fabric nearby.

It sounds like Kaede and Frau are changing.

"Have they grown even more?"

"You think so? I didn't notice."

"You have a beautiful figure, Kaede."

"Don't just start touching them!"

Glup

Oh, no. I'm getting excited.

I need to calm down before I go back to them.

"We're done."

"Ah."

When I came back, I saw the three girls in swimsuits.

And Frau was in her human size.

"By the way, is there any air underneath this?"

"There are a series of air pockets. If you go through them, you can easily get to the bottom."

They say that several hidden rooms have been discovered here in the past.

Various relics have been found in the hidden rooms and adventurers have earned a lot of money.

These ruins, they still intrigue me.

I pull out my underwater breathing scroll.

"Use this everyone."

The effect of underwater breathing lasts for several hours.

While the effect lasts, you can literally breathe underwater.

After activating the scroll, I got into the water and called out Sharkboy.

"Glup glup♪"

Sharkboy rubbed his body against me.

I guess he thought he wouldn't be called for a while now that we were on land.

He seemed to be happy.

Kaede used her magic to create an orb of light.

Wow, it's full of debris.

And I see lots of fish. It might be connected to the sea somewhere.

"Buha!"

I come out of the water.

Kaede and the others came out seconds later.

"There was nothing to find, was there?"

"I don't know, we haven't checked the whole place yet. Or maybe someone came before us."

"Do you think there's any treasure down there?"

Frau is looking at the closed door.

Is it possible that this is the locked door they say is at the end?

Monica tried to push the door, but it was still locked and could not be opened.

"If I had a key, I could get in. Too bad."

"Let me try."

"It's no use. No one has ever been able to open that door."

I pulled out a wire, and inserted it into the keyhole of the door and opened it in a second.

what we heard was the creaking sound.

"How is that possible!? You opened it with a simple wire!"

Monica was so astonished that she recoiled.

With my super universal key, I can handle this.

Now, let's take a look at the relics behind this door.

I pushed the door with both hands.

"...Is this it?"

There was a small base inside the place.

A blue jewel glittered on it.

Wait, I've seen this jewel somewhere before.

I think it was at an auction.

"Master, it's a life extension jewel!"

That's right, it was the same jewel that sold for 850 million.

It's a rare item that can save you from death only once.

It's not as precious as the elixir, but it's still valuable enough for anyone to want it.

"It's mine! I'm not giving it to anyone!"

Monica suddenly grabs a jewel and tries to escape.

However, Frau, who moved quickly, grabbed it.

"What are you doing, that belongs to my Lord! Give it back!"

"Please, please give it to me!"

"Screw you, you big-titted elf!"

"Don't touch my breasts! Don't rub them like that!"

Given the bizarre situation, I decided to ask Monica what was going on.
