Chapter 252: Surprise?

Loki tried her best to stop me from getting close to Ais, which in and of itself became a joke as Ais was too cute to be lewded. We traveled down to the 13th floor before teleporting back to the meeting room in Loki's home.

"Asahi-sama," My loyal bodyguard greeted me with a bright smile.

Riveria and Finn were also here, staring at me with wide eyes as if I was some kind of rare species.

"A teleportation skill this convenient is unheard of. I had a feeling that he was an oddball adventurer..."

"He is half god."

Finn and Riveria mumbled to each other. Loki told them, huh. Well, they could be trusted as Loki's confidants and Ais's seniors.

Loki patted my back. "I told 'em about you. You can trust 'em more than me."

"I can trust someone acting as Ais's mom."

Riveria's brow sank at my teasing remark. She was trying so hard to suppress her boiling anger.

Finn chuckled but a glare from Aimi shut him down. He scratched his cheeks nervously. Aimi was always ready to defend me, like a dog ready to bite anyone trying to harm their owner.

"'Kay. See ya later," Loki said, stifling a yawn. "Never felt so tired in my life. I'm gonna drink some and drop dead on the bed."

I gave Ais a few headpats. As Loki opened the door, the peeping elf stumbled on the floor.

"I-I-I—" Lefiya tried to come up with an excuse.

"Come here, kid," Loki grumbled and dragged the elf away.

"Bye, Onii-san."

Ais waved her hand before following Loki.

[—Ais Wallenstein: Affection +2]

Perhaps in the future. She is too adorable to be taken as a romantic partner right now.

"Goodbye, mom."

Klyscha teleported me and Aimi before the high elf rained down her wrath. My room was again empty with all the women strolling who knew where.

"Where are others?"

"T-They are out with Kaguya for shopping," Aimi said and threw herself at me. Looking up with almost teary eyes, she rubbed her chin on my chest. "Let's m-make love."

I narrowed my eyes on her. Aimi never took the initiative unless she was completely starved for affection. I pumped her full of love yesterday. Besides, her stuttering made me skeptical of her act.

"What are you hiding?"

"Hiding? What could I be hiding, Asahi-sama?" She pulled back and ripped off her black suit. Slowly unbuttoning her white shirt, she licked her lips. "Are you making an excuse to escape me?"

Yep, she is hiding something. No way the usual Aimi acted this stubbornly for sex.

She wrapped her hands around her shirt and looked down. "S-Sorry. I promised them not to tell."

The yandere was rebelling against her lover to hide other girls' secrets. The surprise made my heart full.

"Are they preparing for some surprise for me?"

This has been happening for quite a few days now.

Aimi meekly nodded her head.

Surprise, huh. Which event was coming? Maya's birthday… or mine!

(My Love, you're a bully. Everyone wanted to surprise you with a party, but you ruined it.)

'I'm sorry. I was a bit worried about the girls.'

(Just act like it never happened. It's the best way. Besides, my love will still be surprised at our surprise.)

'We shall see about that, lovely lady.'

(Ufufu. We will.)

I tugged at Aimi's collar, bringing her teary red eyes on the same level as mine. "What should I do about you?"

"W-Whatever punishment Asahi-sama has, I'll accept it."

"Punishment for bonding with other girls is," I said and pecked her lips. "Lots of love."

"Ah?" she was stupefied, clearly not expecting this kind of punishment. "I wasn't wrong?"

"I told you before, didn't I? I love crazy yandere, but I also don't want them to go stabbing my other women. You seem like the perfect balance of both worlds, so how could you be wrong?"

"Thank you," she muttered and wrapped her hands around me, squeezing me within her arms. "I was worried."

[—Aimi Akane: Affection +9]

As Aimi slid down to start some work, the door creaked open. An unexpected person stood there with eyes wide and mouth gaping open.

"Ryuu?"

Do all elves share this peeking fetish?

"...I should've knocked," she acknowledged her mistake with a calm face. "Astraea-sama wanted to see you in the living room."

She told her piece and turned around to leave. I won't let her. I dashed to the door and closed it behind me.

"Yes. You should've knocked, but you didn't. It's the second time you did this."

"I'm sorry…"

I stretched my hand. "I want justice."

"...How much valis do you want?"

She thought she could buy her way with money. Nope, I had a better plan!

"Let me touch your ears."

I hadn't gotten the pleasure to touch those long ears that belonged to elves.

She took a step back. "What? Why would you want to touch them?"

"My hometown didn't have any elves. I'm just curious as to how they feel."

"Sorry. I cannot do that."

She seemed hesitant. Well, nothing I could do without forcing it on her like some sexual harassment. I sighed and stepped aside.

"Fine. Leave."

She stared at me as though considering whether to accept my suggestion. She shook her head and left without a word. I calmed Aimi's lust with some pats and promised to lewd her after this meeting with Astraea.

The living room had become a meeting room with chairs all over the place occupied by my fellow adventurers.

Astraea welcomed me with a smile. Alise was standing there with her, a forced, mirthless smile on her face. Astraea briefed me on the situation. Apollo had revealed this dungeon's news to the Guild. The Guildmaster had yet to bring up a solution, but Alise and others already made plans to charge into the hidden dungeon and destroy this Rudra Familia, or whatever was left of it after Natsumi threw the bastards to the goblins.

Astraea ordered Alise to take me along. Alise agreed with a bright smile.

"I will."

Something was off about Alise. She acted oddly today. Let's hope I'm overthinking things here.
