Chapter 43 - Stay the Night on Fiftieth Floor

A few hours had passed since Rio and Liselotte found and unsealed Aletia and listened to Aletia's uncle's—Denreed—recording. Afterward, they decided to leave the sealing room. Mostly, it was for Aletia's sake. They didn't immediately dive further into the depth. They decided to take a break in a cave Rio created by digging the wall.

When they stayed in that small cave, which was furnished with simple furniture like a soft rug, pillows, blankets, air conditioner artifact, and a lighting artifact, they had some talks. The topics were within the scope of important things such as their respective pasts; Aletia started first by telling her past before she was sealed; next, Rio explained a bit about his background.

It was also when Rio told Liselotte and Aletia about his secret. That he was different from the summoned heroes because he'd died. That he obtained two cheats as compensations from God's mistakes. However, he didn't tell them that their world was known as a fictional story. Rio had made up his mind to keep this knowledge to his grave if he could even die.

Well, with his unlimited mana and Auto-Regeneration skill, there was a high probability that Rio had become immortal.

While they had their talks, Liselotte also discovered that Aletia was older than 300 years old. When she discovered that, she had a complicated expression before disregarding it, saying that despite Aletia's far older than her, she was still the senior one between the two.

Aletia just gazed blankly at Liselotte, but her eyes were glimmering with amus.e.m.e.nt. It seems as if she was indulging Liselotte's delusion. Meanwhile, Rio found the synergy between the two was amusing. It made you question who's elder and who's younger between the two.

Anyhow…

When Liselotte and Aletia heard about Rio's secret, they were dumbfounded. Their reaction was normal. After all, Rio was basically the strongest in Tortus. There was even a possibility that he was even stronger than Ehit, God that was worshiped by 90% of humans in Tortus.

Afterward, they shifted into a lighter topic. Mostly about their likes and dislikes, personal preference, or something along that line. They restarted another heavy topic when Aletia unintentionally brought the topic of Seven Liberators who built the seven Great Labyrinths. However, Aletia told Rio and Liselotte about the twisted version that explained how the Seven Liberators were rebels, which were called The Mavericks.

However, Aletia commented on how it was probably incorrect since she and Liselotte had discovered that Ehit wasn't a benevolent and righteous God everyone believed from her late uncle's recording. At this point, Rio withheld what he knew about the Liberators. After all, these girls would know about this details later, after they conquered this labyrinth. However, Rio told them about Ehit's true plot for him and Kouko. How Ehit was actually aiming for Kouki Amanogawa's body in the beginning, and later, his after the Magic Gun artifact's demonstration.

When Aletia and Liselotte heard that, they became worried for his sake. It made Rio feel good. He was happy because his girls were worried about his well being despite they didn't need to. After convincing them that he would be safe from Ehit's plot, they changed into the lighter topic until they fell asleep due to exhaustion.

Both Liselotte and Aletia snuggled closely into Rio when they asleep. While the two girls had been sound asleep, Rio was fully awake all the time. He was actually feeling restless. He realized that he'd been spoiled so much by Liselotte each night when he stayed at Heiligh Palace.

In that place, since he and Liselotte became an official couple in secret, she would indulge Rio's hotblooded d.e.s.i.r.e every night. It'd become a habit before Rio realized it. He felt something was missing when he couldn't be able to do his nightly e.r.o.t.i.c activity with Liselotte.

Unfortunately, Rio couldn't ask Liselotte to indulge him when Aletia was always around them since they left the sealing chamber. Though Aletia was the oldest amongst them, Rio and Liselotte were subconsciously treating her as a little girl due to her childlike appearance and what happened after Denreed's recording ended. It was hard to see her as an a.d.u.l.t after witnessing the scene of Aletia's bawling out her sorrow and gratitude for her deceased uncle like a child who lost her parents.

Rio opened his mouth and was about to respond but stopped at the last moment because he remembered Aletia. He immediately created Telepathy skill and connected with Liselotte to have a silent, telepathic conversation.

[Yeah. I can't sleep. And for your information, I'm replying using a new skill I created. Telepathy. Just think something you want me to hear and I will hear it.]

Liselotte was dumbfounded when she heard Rio's voice inside her head but quickly recovered her calm after listening to Rio's explanation. [Like this?] She replied through their newfound telepathic connection.

[Yep. Just like that. Anyway, can't you sleep too?]

[Yes. I feel something is missing.] Liselotte nodded faintly as she replied telepathically.

[Same here. Having no s.e.x with you for a night is very frustration,] Rio stated bluntly.

Liselotte had an exasperated expression when she heard that. She rolled her eyes while replying, [Tch. Aren't you insatiable?]

[Can't be helped. S.e.x is good and relaxing. Don't tell me you hate doing it with me.] Rio asked Liselotte with a half-playful and half-serious tone.

[No. I don't hate it. I wouldn't enjoy it if I really dislike it. However, I think that you're too much sometimes. I mean that you are always doing it until I get knocked out. I wonder if you even satisfied at that time?]

When Liselotte heard that, she had a wry smile. Afterward, she said to him, [Well, we can't do it because Aletia is here now. Though she has accepted to be yours and she is far older than her real appearance, her childlike appearance is still a bit much, don't you think?]

[I concur. But, I feel restless without doing it before sleeping...] Rio had an unwilling expression.

[What a hopeless man, you are. Well, do you mind if I help you relieve yourself using my hand?] Rio became thoughtful after he heard that. He remembered about his perverse thought before they fought the cyclopes that had guarded the door into Aletia's sealing chamber.

[Would you mind if I ask you to use your mouth instead?] Liselotte was dumbfounded right after listening to Rio's outrageous question. She watched Rio's face and searched for something, which was found a few moments later.

[You're serious aren't you?] Her disbelief and exasperation were written on her delicate face.

[Yep. So, would you do it?] Rio questioned Liselotte in return for her own question. Liselotte delayed her answer as she frowned deeply while thinking about something serious. When Rio saw Liselotte's expression, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He wondered if he stepped out the line this time. Fortunately, she seemed not angry at him from her next response.

[I knew that men sometimes have a strange and weird fantasy, but using my mouth, huh? Well, as much as I want to make you happy, I still need to prepare myself for it. So, sorry, Rio. Maybe next time. For the time being, you must accept my hand.]

Rio nodded slightly in assent. Inwardly, he was relieved because Liselotte didn't seem to be angry. Disturbed? maybe. Angry? Nope. After their soundless pillow talks, Liselotte slipped her soft hand into his legging and started giving him a handjob. Her movement was awkward at first, clearly due to her inexperience. They only did normal s.e.x in missionary or d.o.g.g.y style position. Mostly, it was in missionary style. It could be said that their experience in s.e.x wasn't deep. At least, she became better as time passed.

After a few minutes, Rio had his release from Liselotte's hand. He felt relaxed a little. It wasn't like the same sense of fulfillment and relaxation from having the real thing. But, it helped him a bit. Liselotte seemed to be turned on when she gave him a handjob, but she decided to sleep immediately after relieving him. Afterward, Rio followed Liselotte's example. They joined Aletia who was deep asleep amidst their e.r.o.t.i.c escapade.

They would be busy tomorrow due to their schedule to dive deeper into the labyrinth.
