Chapter 155: Chapter 32: Returning Home

The flight back didn't have any issues, which was quite surprising. I had expected those idiots to cause some trouble, but Midori's threats seemed quite effective on the way back. We didn't mess around, and, honestly, I was too exhausted.

It was rare, but I managed to get a good ten-hour sleep. The plane was a huge private jet, and I didn't rush to the destination.

I am unsure what they spoke about when I slept. But Midori spent most of the flight speaking with the two surprise princesses...

When I woke up it was decided they would live with her and act as her assistants during dungeon gate surges and attacks from ability users... It seemed those guys were popping up more often now. Well, it can't be helped...

Mana is growing on our planet daily; soon, it will equal the lowest level of the dungeon. Will ratmen and other monsters start to evolve from creatures and animals naturally?

I felt the plane suddenly slow down, bouncing along the ground with a slight shake. It seemed we had landed, now able to hear even the sound of the black tires skidding from our slight overshot landing.

"Come on, wake up, Rai. We are home." Midori gently shook my arm before groping me to make sure I woke up in all sense of the word and ran off to the huge exit door with a pleased face.

"Master, get up!"

"Please wake up, Rai."

The two girls followed and seemed to copy the actions of Midori. I wasn't sure why or if she had told them too, but the feeling of being caressed and groped by three beauties first thing after waking up wasn't so bad...

It was a shame we had to get off the plane, or I could enjoy the moment more.

As the plane's lights turned on and the ping of the intercom sounded, we all began to leave from the huge door, feeling the humid air and warm breeze. It was great to be home and escape that cold and wet country of gloom.

"Well, the city is intact; no giant turtle or crab is destroying the place... thank god," I muttered, escorted by the two beautiful women with silver hair; as Midori and her shades walked ahead, there was a huge black jeep waiting and a female with a stern face that looked to be militarily related or something giving her a salute.

"Welcome back, Commander Midori! HQ has already received the report, and the top brass are amazed you managed to get such a great trade agreement with those miserable Imperialists."

Midori nodded and gave a military salute, "Lieutenant, I want a debriefing immediately. This mission was troublesome, and I had to rely on Mister Shibuya to deal with the dungeon and Alan's betrayal. Most of the work was done by him alone."

Midori praised me, but Lieutenant just raised her eyebrows, looking at me strangely; it seems news travels fast, and information leaks quickly.

"Commander Midori, HQ may be upset about Alan's death... They planned to tie the countries together through marriage...." The Lieutenant seemed a little repulsive and against the idea, but Midori just laughed and patted the woman on the shoulder before speaking vulgarly.

I began leaping across the rooftops, enjoying the freedom of the night wind, the sounds of traffic and the bright lights below and reached the slums in less than ten minutes; passing the slums, I found my apartment and found both of them had the lights on and slipped into the lobby, entering my key... slowly with a click, and pushing open the door.

"Hey girls, I'm back~"

However, the moment I entered the room, there was a sudden change in the mood; the normally hyper and happy Haruka and Elizabeth sat on the sofa with a strange small girl with red hair that I swore was Flora...But she shouldn't be in this place... then looking to the corner of the room was a lovely elven maiden with blue hair sitting on the single chair clutching the signet ring her father wore.

What was happening...? Did someone kidnap them?

Haruka jumped up and hugged my waist, crying slightly... Elizabeth stood up and walked over; however, her fist hit my chest, and she cried softly, "Stupid Rai... where were you.... we called.... we called and begged...."

I realised that something must have happened and walked forward, pushing against her soft fist, before Flora's body flew through the air and landed in my arms, her face pressed against my neck as she started to sniffle and cry.

Elizabeth finally gave in, hugging me tightly, her large breasts pressing against my stomach as Flora continued to sob.

"Rai... Daddy died... He never came back... and said we needed your help... they came from a strange light and with white wings started to kill everyone... my mother forced me into the portal....

with Lumia... but they never followed, and the portal was blocked... only you can enter it!"

Flora cried harder, explaining what happened... the angels of God descending from the heavens and slaughtering all impure beings and half breeds as they called it...

It felt like a weight had dropped in my stomach... because now I wasn't naive or ignorant but knew the meaning of those things appearing in the dungeon... Those old fools knew that we didn't have the power to resist them head-on anymore... and were testing the waters.

So those bastards killed Flora's and Lumia's father's...

"Girls, let's go to bed and rest... tomorrow, we can plan how to go back and find out what those angels are trying to achieve."

Flora nodded quietly... grabbing my hand and pulling me to the bedroom... Elizabeth and Haruka followed behind silently, climbing into the bed, with Haruka and Lumia hugging me tightly... and Elizabeth holding my leg.

I was so tired... the recent battles were slowly stacking together in a constant robbin as if this was some kind of gauntlet or wheel combat designed to weaken me and tire me until I could not resist...

Whatever... there was no time to complain.

I promised.
