S-Class Dungeon’s Mistress - Chapter 122

Chapter 122

“Master, there’s something dirty.”

Lisianthus went between Adelaide and Lupin then took out a checkered handkerchief and gently wiped her forehead. He seemed to be referring to Lupin’s kiss.

Despite their apparent quarrel, Lupin didn’t show much reaction. He was already used to the ill-natured character of Lisianthus, and unlike Caladium, he wasn’t foolish enough to be provoked by something like this. He treated Lisianthus like he was invisible and just kept staring at Adelaide with bright eyes.

“Adela, how have you been? You’ve become more beautiful.”

“It’s surprising you’ve gotten even more beautiful than you already were.” Lupinus added with a smile on his face.

He looked excited, like a large dog that met its owner after a long time.

“Yes, I’ve been fine…”

Adelaide was, of course, pleased with him. However, compared to usual, it was a very lukewarm response.

It had only been a few days ago since they last separated. However, Lupin was delighted as if they had reunited after a few years. He even went so far as to make sure everything was fine as he touched her face.

“Your pretty eyes are the same, and your cute nose is the same…”

“No, Lupin. Wait a minute. Stay still. Sssp!”

Adelaide gave him a warning as she would to a dog. Then, Lupinus calmly lowered his hand and stood in an attention stance.

Look at this, are you a better listener than Bell? Is this what it’s like training a pet? She admired briefly.

“No matter how much you missed me, why did you return so soon?”

“Besides, this is the second living space!” Adelaide quickly glanced around her.

The other demons had already disappeared without notice. Luckily, it was unlikely that his identity was found out.

“Soon? It normally takes a few days to be stable.”

“That was when you weren’t hurt! You hurt your arm last time. And when you were in a human state at that. You should stay in Mediar until you recover properly.”

“I’m well enough.”

Lupinus proudly declared his innocence. Adelaide narrowed her eyes and examined the truth of his words. Even though he was a legendary warrior, can he recover from injuries so quickly when he was in an unstable state?

“I’m really all better now.”

As Adelaide’s eyes grew fierce, Lupin quickly rolled up his shirt to show his arm. Just like he said, there were no major injuries. It was so cool seeing his veins bulging out. Without realizing it, she fiddled with his firm arm.

Oops. This is not the time. Adelaide came to her senses and opened her mouth.

“Hmm hmm, after touching and checking, everything does seem to be better now.”

“I hope you check it more often in the future.”

“Anywhere other than the arm too.” Lupinus whispered softly, curling the corners of his eyes.

Guess who’s the biggest per***t in Greenville. Adelaide shuddered, unaware that she had been fiddling with his forearm.

“But you still haven’t fully recovered your energy yet. I think it would be better to go back and rest more…”

At Adelaide’s words, Lupin’s face distorted in an instant. He spoke in an impatient manner.

“I’ve already done enough to recover. Besides, I heard that Caladium goes out often these days?”

When did you hear this? Weren’t you only in Mediar? Adelaide was surprised by his information network and widened her eyes.

He must have heard it from the other demons while he entered Greenville and came to the second living space. She had always felt it, but he was really very sociable.

“It is dangerous to suddenly lose power. Don’t you think I should protect this place?”

It makes sense. Before I met Abaddon, I would have thought that Lisianthus alone was enough, but now, having power is critical.

If a really urgent moment comes, they might have to borrow even the power of the warrior, Lupinus. When the crisis becomes bigger than exposing the truth that Greenville has the legendary warrior.

However, as Lupinus brought up such a thing, his purpose of staying in Greenville became even more questionable. Adelaide thought that it was possible that he was just saying that, but in truth, he was just aiming for physical contact with her.

“I have no other intention. I’m just worried about you.”

Does he do mind-reading too? Adelaide coughed in vain.

She didn’t even say anything to him, but now she was no longer surprised when the other person answered on his own. At this point, she thought that perhaps mind-reading was the basic condition for moving into Greenville. Or were her thoughts too obvious on her face? Of course, the answer was the latter.

“Alright, I see. Instead, when your energy seems to be unstable, go back right away.”

“Yeah, I got it. Thanks for accepting me, Adela.”

At Adelaide’s permission, Lupin’s face brightened noticeably. He thanked her and hugged her tightly. He tried to kiss her on the cheek, but was unsuccessful as Lisianthus immediately pushed his head away. Even so, Lupinus was still smiling.

Looking at his boyish, innocent smile, Adelaide expected that within a few hours, the dark intentions hidden beneath that pretty face would be revealed. Lupinus who cried out for his turn so much would not be able to endure it for long.

However, contrary to this expectation, Lupinus followed her without any special touching since then. Of course, to Adelaide, ‘special touch’ meant more than a deep kiss, but there were countless contacts less than that. It was normal to hug her from behind or lie down on her knees.

‘Am I only thinking about that these days?’

Perhaps the real per***t was not Lupin but herself. Adelaide wondered seriously.

But she soon shook her head. She was less than the per***t than he was since she only thought about racy stuff every hour. Anyway, it was comfortable and good for her because he didn’t show embarrassing affection in front of her other demons.

A few hours passed peacefully.

Adelaide and Lisianthus were sitting on the sofa talking to each other. A seashell-shaped mark suddenly appeared on the dungeon pad, which had been quiet. Now that the pattern was quite familiar, Adelaide lifted her head and looked up. Soon, a loud cry resounded throughout the dungeon.

“Gwaeck—!”

A large shoebill flew in from the postman aisle with great force. Recalling her last interaction with him, Adelaide unknowingly flinched and hid behind Lisianthus. The image of him swearing with his eyes was still fresh in her memory. Of course it was her fault in the first place.

“Gwaeck?”

The shoebill tilted his head cutely as if he had never shown her a terrifying face. Adelaide jumped up in surprise as the shoebill’s large face popped out next to Lisianthus.

“Kyaa!”

“Gwaeck!”

The shoebill looked at her as if she was pathetic, and then took out the mail from his bag. Adelaide’s face flushed with embarrassment.

“I-Is it for me?”

“Gwaeck!”

“-Yes, you idiot-. He said.”

Lisianthus interpreted the shoebill’s words with a friendly voice.

‘You idiot.’ Adelaide showed a wounded expression. She was angry, but she didn’t have the courage to express it to that menacing shoebill.

Adelaide carefully accepted the letter from the shoebill. After that, the shoebill flew straight back into the sky, perhaps he was behind in his work.

“Bad shoebill. ‘You idiot.’ How could you say that?”

She murmured in a low voice as she watched the back of the shoebill as he left.

‘Master is the same.’

Even though she was now the owner of a C-Class dungeon, she was still scared of something like a shoebill. Lisianthus secretly adored.

When Adelaide had finished badmouthing the shoebill, she pulled out a sharp nail and ripped the envelope open. Then a piece of luxurious paper fell out. Her eyes widened as she checked the content.

~Formal Invitation

We invite ‘Adelaide’ of ‘Greenville Dungeon’ to Kronatan’s dungeon meeting.

You can be accompanied by up to two demons.

Please attend as this is your first meeting after achieving C-Class.

Date: 24th day of the red moon, 6 pm

Venue: Esperanza, Goldiberg, R-3~

“Oh! This is the one from last time!”

Adelaide exclaimed with a broad smile. But her face soon turned sullen. No matter how much she searched, this time she couldn’t find any words to make her heart flutter. Such as ‘society leaders’ meeting’ or ‘make your position shine’.

“It’s two days from now. They’re cutting it too close.”

Lisianthus raised one eyebrow seemingly dissatisfied. How can they send an invitation so late, then say that she must attend? They were ignoring Greenville.

“That’s right. What if there was an accident in the middle of delivery? Well, we’re lucky we got it!”

Unfortunately, their attack had no effect. The owner of Greenville was unaware of such indirect disregard. Even sarcasm would only work if the other party could understand it.

“I can take up to two people. Then Lisian and…”

Adelaide stopped. Originally, of course, she would have taken Lisianthus and Caladium with her, but with Caladium’s state right now, it was unreasonable.

So who do I go with? She looked around and pondered.

At that moment, someone quickly raised his hand.

“Can I come with you?”

It was Raham. Adelaide didn’t answer right away, but she looked around. Fortunately, she did not see Pia. Next, she looked at Lisianthus. Lisianthus also narrowed his eyes to see if he would be a concern.

His desire to go is 100% understandable. The owner of Sol Dungeon, Shavarma, will come to this meeting. It was true that it was worrisome in so many ways.

“I won’t do anything strange. I promise. I’ll just stay quietly by your side.”

Raham said in a deep, rumbling voice. Adelaide pondered, then she nodded her head.

“Okay, let’s go together.”

“Thank you! Adelaide, thank you so much, always.”

“What are you thankful for?…”

She couldn’t refuse as she knew his situation. He was the demon who Raham wanted to see more than anyone else.

Anyway, she was hoping to someday defeat Sol Dungeon, so even if Raham broke his promise and caused an incident, it wouldn’t matter much to her.

“Then Lisian and Raham will go with me. Lupin, if something dangerous happens while you’re in the dungeon, can you stop it? As long as your identity is not revealed.”

“Yes, Master.”

Lupinus pretended to be a demon and laughed mischievously. Adelaide also laughed along with him.

It had been a long time since she had laughed at such a joke. Without Caladium, there was almost no demon who played jokes on her.

“… Then I’ll go to my room. Everyone rest.”

“Yes, Master. Rest well.”

Adelaide waved to Lisianthus and Lupinus before entering her room. Lupinus narrowed his eyes, not knowing why she was leaving so early.

‘Well, I’ll see it if I wait.’

What he had been looking forward to was done afterward. Lupinus smiled brightly and suppressed his boiling lust. He was just thinking about what to do and where he would do it, but he could already feel pain below him.
