Chapter 73: Back To The Peaceful Everyday Live
「WAH! SO THAT’S THE LABYRINTH CITY! 」
「So huuuge! 」
Two excited voices could be heard from a coach that sped along the highway.
「Fufufu…You two frolicking like that are so cute! ?」
Aria smiled at the two fairies’ excitement. They were seeing the city from the coach window for the first time.
It had been a few days since Reis’s riot and the situation with the Undead Dragon and the group had decided to return to Labyrinth City.
Naturally, Aria had assumed they’d part ways with the fairies, but she was mistaken.
「Pardon? You want to go with us, too? 」
「Of course! We’re friends with everyone and have a debt of gratitude to repay. After all, you saved us from the cursed magic item! We want to repay that debt by following Aria-san! 」
Thus, Lily and Faeri went along with Aria and the others to Labyrinth City.
Tama, Aria, and Stella were more than happy with the two fairies joining them. Not to mention, the two fairies’ power would be a huge boost in Aria’s activities as an adventurer.
「Nya??(Uhm, have we arrived at Labyrinth City?) 」
The excited voices of the fairies woke up Tama, who had been sleeping between his master’s twin melons.
Even if his soul and intellect were of an adult man, his body was of a small kitten. The moment his senses registered the softness of Aria’s chest and her nice, motherly scent, he fell asleep.
Stella had also fallen asleep inside the swaying coach.
「Fufufu. Are you awake, Tama? You’re such a good child… You really enjoyed this onee-chan’s boobs, right? ?」
「Nya~…」
Aria showered Tama with words of love as she brushed his head gently.
Unable to curb his kitten instincts, Tama rubbed his head against Aria’s twin melons. He, who was an adult knight on the inside, was behaving like a spoiled kitten.
His behavior amused Aria, who commented in a seductive voice.
「Haah… A still sleepy Tama is soooo cute! ?」
The way the sun shone over her platinum blonde locks made her even more enchanting. Coupled with her affectionate expression, it reflected a beauty simply beyond description.
「Please wake up, Stella-chan. We’ve already arrived at Labyrinth City.」
「Uhn… 5 more minutes…」
Tama was already awake, so Aria moved to wake Stella up but it was very difficult.
Stella was difficult to wake up. It might be because, back when she was a dragon stuck in the labyrinth, she spent most of her time slumbering.
They proceeded to enter the labyrinth.

「Nyaaa~! Long time no see, nya~n! 」
After returning to Labyrinth City, the first place Aria and the others visited was Vulcan’s shop, their last party member.
Despite visiting her right after dawn, the blacksmith Vulcan was cheerful. She was a morning person.
「Long time no see, Vulcan-san! ?」
「I’ve heard the news about you, nyan! It seems the three of you played a central role in the Gladdstone riot, nyan! 」
「Ah, so the news about Gladdstone’s riot has reached here already! 」
「Nyaturally! By the way… Are those two girls… Fairies? 」
Vulcan was extremely proud of Aria’s role during the riot. She was an example of how an adventurer should behave.
But her attention was focused on Lily and Faeri.
Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to encounter one of the Fairy race in the middle of a city. Seeing those two being so chummy with Aria and the others made Vulcan even more curious to hear their story.
「We met these girls inside the new labyrinth that appeared on the outskirts of Gladdstone. The pixie girl is Lily-chan and the dryad girl is Faeri-chan. ?」
「It’s nice to meet you, nyan. Lily-chan, Faeri-chan, nya name is Vulcan. I’m their comrade!」
「I’m Lily. Best regards, Vulcan! 」
「It’s nice to meet you! I’m Faeri~! 」
The lively palm-sized pixie, Lily, and the carefree Faeri greeted Vulcan.
「Nya~~, it’s really been a while, nya~! Aria-chan, can I borrow Tama-chan for a while, nya~? 」
「Naturally, Vulcan-san. Go, Tama. You must be missing Vulcan-san too, right? 」
「Nyan! 」
Aria handed over Tama to Vulcan.
Vulcan’s attire was her usual working overall clothes, which did nothing to hide how her healthy, light brown cleavage was gently wrapping around Tama.
「T-TOO SLY! I want to hug Tama too, but I’m not allowed! 」
Stella couldn’t believe how easily Aria let Vulcan hug Tama. Naturally, she felt vexed.
Unfortunately, she was right. Without Aria’s 〝Permit?, she couldn’t touch Tama.
「You can’t, Stella-chan, because you’re eyeing Tama as a male. That’s why I’m not giving you permission to hug Tama! In Vulcan-san’s case, she isn’t seeing Tama as a male.」
「GUNUNUNUNU! 」
Stella could only grind her teeth in frustration since what Aria just said was spot on.
But both girls failed to notice how Vulcan jumped when Aria spoke of how she didn’t have lustful thoughts toward Tama. In short, she was, in fact, guilty of the opposite.
But all that sailed over the head of the clueless Tama, who merely tilted his head in confusion.
He wondered if there was something wrong with Vulcan, completely oblivious of how the person holding him could potentially snatch his V-card in the future.
「Too sly! I want to fluff Tama too! 」
「Me too! Let me fluff Tama too~! 」
So far, Lily and Faeri had watched the quarrel from the sidelines, but they suddenly swarmed Vulcan and the helpless Tama.
Vulcan was unable to resist the two fairies’ cuteness and easily surrendered her charge.
「Fumu~… Tama-chan is so cuuute! ?」
「Me too! Me too! 」
Lily hugged Tama from behind while Faeri hugged him from the front. A fairy-cat sandwich.
Tama felt like his peaceful, everyday life had returned as he enjoyed being pampered by so many beauties.
