It had been a day since Prana began diving into the dungeon.
Right now, Haruhime was cleaning his room. She wanted to keep the house clean. At first, when she visited the place without Prana in her home, she was being questioned by the landlord below. After she began explained her motive, the landlord tried to trust her and give her the spare key. Therefore, from the day before, every morning and afternoon she would come to his house, either to sweep the floor and dusted the windows.
"When are you coming back, Prana-sama?" She already missed him, even though it was barely two days since he explored the dungeon.
Day after day, the routines were the same. Until, she heard from adventurers' conversation, that someone was being pushed to the Den Epistrefei by Ishtar Familia in the dungeon.
She began to worry about him, 'What if this someone was Prana?' Negative feelings flooded her heart.
Every morning her eyes were damp from her tears. She was worried sick for Prana's well being.
Then, one day she began moving to his house. She thought that moving to his house could alleviate her stress.
In the second week, Prana was missing, she began to search about his information, directly or indirectly.
She frequently visited the guild to ask his whereabouts. She also began lurking at Hostess of Fertility, gathering information from adventurers.
Mama Mia, the proprietress of the restaurant, asked her why she would lurking at the bar at night till the shop closed since it was dangerous for a girl to do that. And next, she began to hire her, she was quite beautiful and there's nothing wrong to add another waitress.
Thus, she began working at Hostess of Fertility. In here, she made some new friends. The mascot character of the restaurant, Anya Fromel. The cold beauty who loved to tease people, Chloe Rollo. The caring and cute sister, Syr Flova. Lastly, the elf beauty who strong and elegant, Ryuu Lion.
All of them were kind to Haruhime. Whenever she met with a troublesome customer, Ryuu would stand up from her. Also, the others helping her familiarize herself in the new environment.
One day, she knew that Ryuu was a retired adventurer. She began to ask a lot of questions and eventually asked about Den Epistrefei.
"Den Epistrefei, that was how the adventurers named it. Someone said this name was derived from the fact that people who jumped downward never coming back again to the surface. Many rumors were flying about this pit. Some people said that it leads to the Juggernaut nest since there was no escape route if you met with one. Some even said, that you might meet with a treasure below, and there's some existence guarding the treasure. There are even people who believed it was leading to One-eyed Black Dragon." She explained in a monotonous voice. "There was no concrete evidence about the rumors, but it was true that no one was managed to come back alive after jumped in"
Hearing her explanation, Haruhime's eyes began watering again, "Prana-sama"
All of the waitresses were panicking seeing her state. They began calming her down and asked Ryuu about it with their eyes.
Ryuu was also clueless regarding this.
*
Day by day the relationship between the girls grew. Haruhime also began to open her heart to them and told them her worries.
Ryuu who knew the cruelty of the dungeon could only silent. The other waitresses also tried to reduce her worries by periodically accompanying her.
*
It had been two and half a month from Prana was missing.
Haruhime's eyes were numb from crying, her worries still unresolved, she longed for him.
Today, several of her friends in the restaurant were having a sleepover. Ryuu, Syr, and Anya were sleeping together the night before.
Fortunately, the bed was big enough to accommodate four of them.
And today, as usual, all of them prepared to work. It was already quite late, and Mama Mia might be complaining at the restaurant for their tardiness.
When they wanted to change their clothes. The three women were marveled at Haruhime's body.
"Haruhime-chan, you are 16 this year right?" Ryuu said in a dark voice.
"En, it should be. What's wrong Ryuu-san?" Haruhime was confused at her changing tone and her expression.
Syr who knew the direction of the conversation went up behind Haruhime's back and directly grabbed her bountiful chest. "How come this thing was growing so fast?" Syr teased and fondled Haruhime's.
"Ahh, Syr, stop, Ennhhh, yours also quite big" Haruhime's couldn't help to moan being fondled by her.
Anya who was seeing the fun also joined the fray. She began to inspect Haruhime's waist like a pervert. "Nyaa~ this is so slender, the skin also smooth, and your bottom - nyaa~ so nice ~ nyaa"
"Ahnn, you too Anyaa, Ahnnnn"
Seeing the three of them in underwear groped Haruhime in every part, Ryuu also began to inspect her body.
It was true that an elf's most basic characteristics were beautiful and slender. However, it also is their problem. Before she was going on to adventure, she heard about a civil war between the younger generation. The problem was quite hilarious, "Flat/Small Chest Vs Big/bountiful chest" Thus, she also began to self-conscious about that.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
A faint voice of footsteps was ringing in Ryuu's ears. Elf's long ears didn't function as a decoration only. Hers could hear for a relative further distance.
'It's so faint! Who is it?' she didn't remember anyone having this kind of footsteps
She picked her wood sword/staff from the table and readied herself.
Un, the girl remember to pick her weapon and even readied herself, but she forgets in what state she and her friends in.
CLICK. CREAK.
"I am bac-"
The sound of the lever unlocked, the door pushed, and a man voice wakes the girls up.
They simultaneously turned their head and look at the newcomer. They saw a man was having a nosebleed.
Ryuu who prepared for this was the calm one and managed to deduce the situation. When she saw he was having a nosebleed, realization dawned upon her.
She threw her weapon to him in a fit and went to reach out her clothes.
The weapon flew straight to the newcomer's head.
BAM
It exaggeratedly knocked him outside.
When the door was closed, the rest of the girls finally able to come to their senses. Their faces began reddening. They were blushing so hard. They were so embarrassed, showcasing their bodies in front of a stranger, and a man too.
Three of the girls were blushing because embarrassed, contrary to Haruhime's. She was red because of excitement. She was happy. Her eyes began watering again.
She walked to the door and stopped.
'What if it just her hallucination? What if it just a stranger, and she mistook him?'
She was hesitating, but she was also anticipating. Her heartbeat increased. She was nervous. She began opening the door and peeked at the gap.
Finally, she could see the man who she missed so much, longed to meet him, and loved him dearly.
She jumped to his chest and said, "Prana-same!! Thank Gods!! You're safe" She began crying again, her pent up frustration was being released right now. No one knows how many dams would be breached if she cried near it.
Prana opened the door as usual since he didn't suspect that there were people inside. Also, he put his sense into relax mode. Suddenly, he saw a beautiful painting inside. Three women were hugging and feeling each other, while one of them was sitting calmly at the side. After being treated roughly in the dungeon, and met with the lust-inducing painting like this, having a nosebleed was completely normal. However, after several seconds of feasting it, his forehead met a stick and he was thrown back.
BAM
The door was closed shut. This time, Prana was awoken from his daydreaming. He began processing the information, why there were girls inside his room.
Then, he heard someone calling. The fox's head was too familiar with taking a peek at the door gap.
Finally, he knew why. They had a sleepover party. 'How envious. I want to join in'
When he wanted to get up, a certain someone crashed again into his body. Clean hit to the stomach.
"Ugh" He wanted to scold her, but Haruhime began bawling her eyes again. Prana didn't have the heart to interrupt her.
He began rubbing her head, consoling her.
"Prana-sama, sob.. sob.. you're finally back. sob" Haruhime said while burying her head to his stomach. "I'm worried... sob"
"There, there. I am here right now"
Three heads began popping at the gap of the door. Three girls began to curiously look at the spectacle.
"Hello" Prana greeted them, "Thank you for taking care of her"
"Haruhime, your friend is watching"
"..." Haruhime was embarrassed but, "It's fine" She whispered and still firmly clung to his.
The three were at loss. They were planning to go to work, but it seemed Haruhime wasn't.
"Then, we will excuse ourselves. Since, we still have to work" Syr said politely, "Haruhime-chan, I will tell Mama Mia that you need to take a day off"
Haruhime didn't answer, but Prana was, "En, thanks in advance"
"Okay, miss crybaby, don't you want to go inside and clothes yourself first?"
"Eh!" Haruhime hurriedly stood up and went to the room quickly. She also locked the door and left Prana behind.
Without any better things to do, Prana decided to check his status.

'Hmm, good. Free stats almost a thousand. If I add it, it should be able to increase my stats above two thousand. Three tickets.'
Prana decided to use the tickets,and try to challenge his luck. He clicked the tickets icon and decided to use the three of them at once.
[Congratulations, you get:
Special Reward
Harry Potter and Deadly Hollows Novel, Gigai, 1000 points ]
'a Novel, gigai? and points.' Prana sighed at the disappointing rewards.
"Um, Prana-sama, you can come in" Haruhime's voice rang for him.
Hearing the content he couldn't help to muse, 'Of course, I can, that's my room in the first place' but he didn't voice his thoughts.
Prana stood up and walked into the room. When he saw the interior, everything was changed and neater than before he left it. But, after seeing Haruhime properly that he knew she was the one who changed the most.
Right now her outfit was too revealing, even though she was still in Yukata. She was wearing white Yukata with a seen through fabric hugging her body tightly.
"Umm... Um.." Haruhi was always fidgeting after he came in as if she wanted to say something or might be just embarrassed by it.
"What's wrong?"
"Umm, Prana-sama, umm.. do you want to take a bath first? or have a meal now? or.. or.." her voice kept getting softer and softer "me?"
Her face was burning. It was her first time being open and seduce someone like this.
Meanwhile, Prana was at a loss for words. 'What is the correct answer?' Based on her outfit, if he wanted to take a bath first, Prana was 99% sure that she wanted to help him wash his back. But if he wanted to have a meal, his eyes would be focusing on her body while Haruhime was cooking. Since there wasn't any entertainment inside the room beside her cooking. If he answered he wanted her, that's was even worse.
"En, Haruhime, how about a change of clothes first for you, you shouldn't wear something like this in front of a man."
"Prana-sama, do you hate it?"
"Eh!!" Of course, he loved it but he couldn't say it.
"Ehem!" Prana faked his cough. "Haruhime, let me rest for a bit"
Prana sat down on the sofa and bring out his new novel. He wanted to read the novel, even though he already knew the movie, some people said that the novel had different details than the movie.
Haruhime who saw the tired-looking Prana went behind him. She began massaging his neck and his shoulder.
Prana who wanted to relax by reading a novel felt a pair of hands-on his neck. Then, a nice sensation ran through his shoulder.
"Yes, that's nice. Keep it up"
Haruhime grunted to confirm her approval and keep massaging his back.
Slowly but surely, his fatigue overcomes his consciousness. He began to doze off and sleeping on the sofa.
Haruhime who heard Prana's even breathing knew that he must be awfully tired before. She ceased her massage and sat beside him.
Even though, she knew that he didn't have the time to wash himself every day when exploring the dungeon. He wasn't as stink like the other guys in the pub sometimes. Rather, she found Prana's smell was quite attractive for her to snuff and lean to his.
°°°
Outside
A great uproar and rumor were being passed mouth by mouth.
The content was, "Ishtar and her bodyguard were attacked inside the Babel. The detail is being classified, but her appearances are really unsightly"
Adventurers thought who would be daring enough to attack a goddess in the city. While some also wanted to know how her appearance was.
Gods and Goddesses were also feeling trepidation at their heart hearing this piece of news. After so many years, even after the Gods and Goddesses made some mistakes to the adventurers, they weren't any extremist that dared to attack them.
For their information, Ishtar and his aide were being put inside an illusion. This crucial information stumped many Gods and Goddesses since they knew that most of them were kind of immune to mind attacks. Especially, Ishtar whose divinity connected to her mind.
However, when they ask around even Ishtar herself didn't explain the situation. She only gave them the basic info that Uranus wanted her to keep for now.
Thus, right now, for most of the Gods and Goddesses who felt insecure about who the attacker was, they really anticipated the next Denatus which was only in two days.
Right now Haruhime was in front of him with a happy expression that looked like 'it suits me, isn't it?' with her tail straight up behind her.
She was wearing a creamy colored turtle neck sweater which the shop clerk claimed 'even in this kind of weather, the shop assures its customers that it was absolutely cooling'. Meanwhile, her legs were being clothed by a blue-colored pair of jeans.
Prana recommended that she must choose these. Since it was the first time he saw clothes similar to modern style in this era. At first, he was marveled at the shop, everything was similar to the modern shop, it just the merchandise that different. Besides according to the clerk, it seems some indigenous designer was stumbled upon this, but unfortunately, it didn't get popular.
'Heh, in the first place, no one was bothered to doll herself in this city. Every person living here was either adventurers or people who provide for adventurers.'
Seeing Haruhime wore the clothes, Prana was stunned. She was much more beautiful than his imagination. The clothes were perfectly fitting to her body style. It just...
"Haruhime, you look great, but don't be too shy. These clothes will be perfect if you try to be bolder in the expression"
Yes, Haruhime's expression was too timid. Her blushed face didn't match with her clothes.
But, Haruhime was having none about it. For the first time she heard 'Haruhime, you look great..' her mind was already in disarray. She was too happy, flying through the clouds, and finally, her happiness was over the moon.
'Having a timid personality, what kind of clothes will be suited to her style?' He was in deep thought about it.
Prana wanted to doll her, reply to her affection bit by bit and tried to trust her and of course, protect her. Since his disappearance, she stayed concerned about him, she still waited for him even though the possibility wasn't high, she deemed him as an important person.
Thus, he proposed a date to her this night. Therefore, right now he was in a cloth shop and was being overly concerned about what kind of clothes that best suited her.
"Okay, take this and try it first" Prana shoved her through the changing room. Then he waited.
This time, it was a dress with a white one-piece with yellow and red flower patterns. Prana thought that this type of dress was the simplest so far. Also, it was almost one hundred percent match with women.
When Prana saw Haruhime wearing the dress. His eyes were lit. He couldn't help to thought aloud, "Perfect"
The one-piece really complemented her timidness. Also, she made some changes to her hair. She braids her bang to the right, it really matched the image.
Prana took her hands and marched through the cashier to pay. In the end, he bought the dress and the one before. Since he thought since she looked beautiful in that clothes might as well buy it.
When they were outside, Haruhime couldn't help to thank Prana.
"It's fine. You deserve it, okay" Prana just waved it off. Since buying clothes for women was quite normal according to him.
"Un" She was really happy this day. Her beloved came back, and somehow he took the initiative to take her out to stroll and buying clothes for her and praised her. This activity that he called a date was full of joy for her.
"Haruhime, let's go get some dinner."
After he said it, he realized that he didn't know any high restaurant or romantic restaurant in this city. What he knows only a pub where brutes flocked.
Seeing his confused look, Haruhime couldn't help to giggle. She knew that he must be confused as to where the appropriate destination was.
"Prana-sama, how about in my workplace?" She suggested to him since she also worried about Mistress Mia. With her absence, the pub should be quite busy.
Prana being advised by a girl at this stage was quite embarrassed. "Is it fine?"
"It's fine"
"Okay, then let's go".
Both of them walked through the night, enjoying the street's rowdiness, and marched toward House of Fertility.
**
When they were near the location, someone was greeting Haruhime.
"Haruhime-chan, your boyfriend?"
One of the aunties she knew teased her. Since it might be her first time seeing Haruhime walking around with a man.
Haruhime couldn't answer the question thrown at her, but her face was beet red.
The auntie acknowledged the situation at once as if she was experienced.
"Boy, don't dare you to make her suffer, or I will take it up with you"
Prana could only nod and smiled wryly at her comment.
'It seems Haruhime was quite popular in this elderly district'
**
Finally, both of them were in front of the restaurant. The sound of men laughing and singing echoed. In an instant, Prana knew that this date won't be accompanied by a romantic dinner.
Haruhime took the lead to enter the restaurant and directly walked to the kitchen direction.
On the way, she was constantly greeted and teased by the adventurers. Many were actually complimenting her beauty tonight.
One of them even said something that garnered applause and cheers from the adventurers but irked Prana.
"Haruhime-chan, you're so beautiful tonight. Want me to walk you home?"
"Jii-san, you always tease me" Haruhime just brush it off.
However, Prana wanted to silence the man once he heard the comment. Fortunately, the man was an old man in his fifties. So Prana holds back his intention.
He walked quickly to follow behind Haruhime and letting out some of his lightning roam on his body to warn the surrounding men.
Among many of the people and adventurers inside, only a handful of them aware of Prana's intention. Some of them could perceive the flow of fauna, and one of them was able to directly gauge Prana's strength.
Unfortunately, one of the adventurers didn't know about it. He waved his hands behind Haruhime's bottom in action to molest her.
Prana directly grabs the man's hand and gripped it hard till the sound of broken bone ensued.
Then, before the man could shout. Prana glared at him, and instantly four daggers (kunai) appeared hovering on his neck in all of the directions.
"Shout, say goodbye to your life" Prana calmly said, opposite with his raging feeling.
The whole restaurant was silenced. No one could see his move, suddenly four lightning daggers appeared on the man's neck. There's no incantation, no spell being voiced.
The man could only stay silent with sweat gushing out of his body. He wanted to escape, but Prana just stayed silent without any order from him. In the end, he could only muster some voices and spell a broken apology after struggling and crying.
Mistress Mia who usually was strict in handling the fight and people who tried to take advantage of her employees in her pub was unusually didn't warn or yell just now. She just quietly cook something in the back.
Witnessing this occurrence, the adventurers thought that she was strange.
Actually, she already knew beforehand who Haruhime's partner was. As a former captain, she knew some of the things behind the scene. Her network was still quite accurate in finding something.
Therefore, she knew that this man was the one that caused a ruckus recently.
Perceiving the trouble, she decided to test the water. And it's proven, that he was really capable.
.
When she saw Haruhime took a step into the kitchen and wanted to help the restaurant, she raised her voice, "Haruhime, get out and order, it's a day off for you now"
From the bystander's view, she might sound a little unreasonable. However, for the employees and adventurers here, they knew that she was concerned about Haruhime.
In the end, Haruhime was chased out of the kitchen, earning a giggle from the other waitresses.
"Fine, I want to order .... "
She ordered so much food as if she was voicing her grievance. She just wanted to help, and yet she was chased out.
•••
Prana just watched the show from the side. Because, he didn't know anything about the owner, thus he wanted to observe her. But, one thing he knew was she was strong. A has been a first-class adventurer who retires with strength at Lv. 5.
With this, at least he wouldn't need to worry too much. Also, several of her friends' adventurers packed with strength. The elf girl who thrown the stick before, the black-haired cat people.
"Haruhime, these foods, isn't it too much?" He couldn't help to ask her. There were four kinds of main dishes, three kinds of dessert, and a bottle of red wine. Why red wine? Don't know. No one ordered but the owner winked at me and point at Haruhime with her eyes.
'Damn you, she was still underage. At least wait till her next birthday to do it'
Hmm, but come to think of it. A lot of junior high schoolers seemed to lose their chastity. And they still underage.
Prana was contemplating, should he thought it again if somehow this relationship worked.
.
A while after, both of them were wasted by food. Haruhime couldn't take the second dish and only able to consume one main dish and all the deserts.
Fortunately, Prana was having an increase in strength. So, his food intake has risen. In addition to his craving for a proper meal, he directly wolfing down the meal with the manner and empty the food.
"Heh, you sure ate a lot, young man"
A hoarse voice was heard behind. Prana found this voice kind of familiar, thus he reflexively turns his head.
"Yaa, old-man dwarf, meet again" he directly greeted him, "you too, umm, wolf-kun, and beautiful misses behind" waved his hand toward them, to express his friendliness.
"Halo, Prana-san, do you have time? want to spar with me?" the overly enthusiastic amazoness directly jumped.
Prana was surprised, he was looking at the dwarf with an expression 'what's wrong with her?'
Gareth just shrugged his shoulder, not explaining.
"Me too" a woman stoic voice rang softly.
Prana decided to pretend deaf, he didn't respond to any of them, and just directly asked Gareth.
"Old-man, where are your captain and the elf? and you!" while he was pointing at Bete, "Don't look me like that! I am straight!"
A lot of the bystanders were giving Bete a weird look.
"***k you!" Bete stood up and sat further away from the group.
"Don't agitate him, he's already reflecting" The big breasted amazoness twin supported Bete.
"Okay. Okay," Prana threw up both of his hands.
"Um, Prana-sama, who are they?" Haruhime inched closer to Prana and whispered her question.
From an outsider's view, this would represent their intimate relationship.
"Oh, let me introduce them. They're from Loki Familia. I forget their exact names. But they're quite strong."
'what an unreliable fellow'
All of the Loki Familia members were irked by his nonchalant attitude. What with 'they're quite strong'. We are the second-best Familia y'know.
"I am Gareth, these are Tiona, Tione, Ains, Lefiya, and that's Bete"
In the end, Gareth introduces them again.
"Ohh! I hear a lot about all of you. All the adventurers who frequent in here always said that you're the best when it comes to dealing with a dungeon. And they often envy all of you." Haruhime was genuinely praised them. Since she heard they were always in the front line.
"Hehe, we are not great, really" Tione smiled. She was happy that someone praised her. But she suddenly remembers something, "But, Bete was beaten by him"
After she finishing her statement, the surrounding clamor instantly died down. Her statement wasn't loud, but all of the adventurers were heard of it.
Bete, a bonafide Lv. 5 Adventurers, and high talent was beaten by the man who appears with their timid waitress.
'It was really a fortune for us, we didn't do anything excessive toward Haruhime before'
If they did, the previous man might not be the only one who was injured.
Haruhime was also shocked hearing her words, while the Loki Familia could only be smiled wryly at their members' loudmouth.
Prana as the culprit was having a nice time with her sipping up the red wine from its glass.
"Prana-sama, you're amazing"
"Of course I am"
•
"Cough, cough. Can we talk properly?" Gareth was speechless. How could the conversation divert so much? At first, he wanted to clarify whether it was him the antagonist in the rumor. Then, if possible, their Familia also wanted to invite him, and some members also wanted to spar with him.
"We did, right?" Prana tilted his head slightly. If it was done by a cute girl, the impact should be great and a feast of cuteness. However as it was done by Prana, it showed that either he wasn't acting seriously or he was drunk. It might be possible to go both.
"Ehem! it's you, right?" Gareth just asked implicitly to Prana.
"What do you think?"
He answered while he was busy savoring the view of two dark-skinned girls and two fair-skinned girls devouring deserts.
Even though the atmosphere was quite boisterous inside and he was quite pleased with that feel, he still wanted to go somewhere nice with Haruhime to end the date.
Prana bid his farewell to the Loki Familia, and Haruhime to her friends.
They went outside and walked to the outer area. A young adventurer said that in the periphery around the old city, there was a nice tower that could overlook every nook in the city. Also, since today was full moon it must be nice to lean at each other while gazing at it.
They were holding each other hands and silently walked in.
"Prana-sama, I want to help you" A sudden request broke their silence.
"didn't you already help me?" He remembered that his house was clean.
"It's not that, but I want to help your adventure" She paused her steps. "I am worried if someday you won't come back and just leave me. It's pained me when I think about it. How powerless I am"
Prana felt warm inside. Even though he was a stranger to this world, there was someone who thought about his well-being.
He smiled and rubbed her head. "It's fine, I could protect myself"
"I can help you. Takemikazuki-sama already explained my gift. He said the reason that I was abducted and targeted because I could help adventurers. He said my abilities could help in increasing their levels. With these abilities, I could help you better"
Prana about to decline her again. However, her eyes were showing signs of unwillingness. He was afraid that once he refused, she would join others and being exploited and in danger once again.
"Umm, Haruhime. How about we talk this again once I wanted to dive again?" He could only dodge the question.
"Mmm" Even though unwilling, Haruhime could only nod her head and agree for now.
Since the destination was already in front.
"Come, let me carry you to the top" Prana swooped Haruhime's to his embrace and jumped through the stairs.
Initially, Haruhime wanted to shriek after suddenly being carried. Then, she began to blush after she knew her situation being princess carried by Prana.
Thus, she quietly snuggled her head and savor the affection.
--
After jumping several times, finally, they were at the top of the building. The building exterior was similar to the lighthouse commonly seen at the beach.
Prana kept hugging Haruhime as they sat down and comfortably watched the city. He didn't want her to slip and fall from this height.
"The view here was quite nice"
"Un" Haruhime replied softly. She agreed, the view was quite nice, his face was in a detailed view, his nose - eyes - lip - and his chiseled face and his firmed muscles she rested her head too.
The way he treated everything seems too mature and sometimes he went too extreme despite his age. She couldn't help wondering, what kind of life he went through before, where all of the great adventurers always went through the vicissitudes of life in their childhood.
"Prana-sama, I love you" She murmured her confession.
"En, I will love you too"
Hearing his promise, she couldn't help to tear up. He always treated her as someone who needed protection. But, today he said he was willing to answer her love in time.
Haruhime didn't know where her courage came from. She looked at his face to face, and kiss him. She was too happy. Besides, her friends' teaching, this was the first thing she knew to express her love and happiness and cement their relationship.
Prana was also taken aback by her boldness this time. He wasn't a virgin, and he was quite accustomed to kissing. But, it was his first time being at the receiving party.
Thus, Prana held Haruhime's waist and neck and hugged her to his embrace.
