Chapter 503 Finally Back Home

-----

New clothes, new tools, new magic items, ores, wood, paper, ink, lots of mushrooms and meat, beans, and salt and sugar, which we desperately needed. All sorts of items and more! We brought a massive haul of items.

"Such a big haul of things!" The Goblin Elder said. "Ohoo! And who's this beauty?!" He eyed Brunhild's half-naked body as his eyes popped out of his face. "I've never seen such a glorious beauty before!"

"U-Uhh…" Brunhild felt slightly creeped out by the Goblin Elder, as she timidly stepped back a few steps.

"Come on, where are you going? Gyeheh… I don't bite!" He said.

"Ugh, this old man…" I sighed.

SMACK!

"GEHH…!"

I smacked the old pervert into the ground.

BAAAM!

He fell headfirst, the ground itself cracked before his face.

"Elder! Stay with us!" The goblins cried.

"Don't worry he even evolved into a High Hobgoblin recently so he got the endurance to take a few hits." I sighed.

Even the Goblin Elder has been hunting proactively with everybody else, as he evolved into a High Hobgoblin Elder Wizard, and learned Earth, Nature, and Life Magic. The old pervert had become surprisingly useful.

"Welcome back master!"

"Master! You're finally back!"

Two fire ghosts flew to my side, alongside a big spider covered in flames, a chimera between a black cat and a crow, a giant metal slime, and countless large black spiders covered in spikes and looking even deadlier than before… oh, and a giant skeleton knight.

"You guys! Mama's back!" I said, as I greeted all of my Undead.

Francesco and Silvio were the only ones that could speak, they were sobbing while hugging me with their blazing bodies. Meanwhile, Kuro and Raven began licking my face with both of their heads playfully, Pyro began licking me with his big tongue as well, Mercury entangled my entire body with his metallic rainbow slime body and Darkbound… well, he petted my head, he was too tall for a hug.

"I've brought you a new friend as well- well, friends." I said, quickly bringing out all new Undead I had not left back in the dungeon. Gero showed up, alongside many Moles, and several large birds as well. Onyx, the Black Phoenix of the twins also greeted everybody as he had become way friendlier now.

"A-Amazing, our lady has brought so many new Undead friends! This will become the Undead Nation, hahahaha!" Silvio laughed.

"Indeed! This'll be amazing! So many Undead, it just feels nice to see so many new friends- Huh? Who's that though?" Asked Francesco.

A timid Frost Ghost was hiding behind me.

"Veredorr, come on, don't be shy…" I sighed.

"T-They're too hot, their bodies hurt me a bit…" He said.

However, the two fire ghosts sneaked behind me anyways, greeting him.

"Hey, so you're the ice ghost!"

"Why are you hiding? Don't worry, our fire won't melt you, dear."

Silvio and Francesco pulled out Veredorr from me as they hugged him and even kissed his forehead to make him feel more comfortable with them, but they ended only making him flustered, as he grew completely red in embarrassment.

"Wawawahhh…! S-Stop kissing and hugging me…!" He cried.

"Come on! You're so handsome, we can't help it!" Laughed Silvio.

"We are all ghosts here, friend." Said Francesco.

"T-That doesn't have anything to do with it!" Veredorr tried to run away but I left him with the rest of the Undead so he would smoother up a bit more. It was not good he was so shy and timid with everybody. The Undead quickly began attacking him with hugs and licks, he will get used sooner or later.

"Welcome back! Auntie!" Gofumin ran to my side after the chief brough her from home. He had been saving her inside his house through these last days has the temperature has gotten colder. She looked fluffy covered in so many clothes.

"Hello Gofumin! How have you been~?" I asked, hugging her back and lifting her off the ground, she hugged me back and even gave me a kiss in my cheek, she really killed me there.

"Gud! Though it is very cold…" She said, her little hands were very cold.

"Hmm, the temperature has only lowered, I guess it doesn't matter what season is in here, it is always super cold, huh?" I sighed. "Well, for now I'll try to find a way to solve this eventually. We have to endure it, okay?"

"Oway! Gofumin strong… The other day I slain a big rat! Leveled up! I am stronger!" She said, raising her tiny arms.

"Oh? Did your father helped you level up?" I wondered.

"Papa said I must begin fighting monsta…" She said. "So I can one day be like mama!"

"I see… I guess it would be good for your foundation to begin leveling up as quickly as possible. The faster you level up the more skills you can learn and the more time you'll have to develop them at an early age." I said while nodding.

"I am glad you're back, Lady Maria." Syllis, the adorable rabbit boy showed up right behind me alongside his little sister, Bellerine.

"Hello! Did you bring me some gifts, auntie Maria?" The little spoiled rabbit girl asked.

"Gifts?" Wondered Gofumin. "Ah! Did you bring me a gift too, auntie?"

"E-Err…" I was left without many options. Thankfully, I had bought a few accessories from Myriad in our way out just for this. "Yep! I did!"

I quickly gathered with everyone as I began distributing accessories, rings, necklaces, and wristbands which were made out of dropped items from dungeons which were then reinforced and almost remade by the talented Blue Oni, husband of Helga.

"This is the Necklace of Protection." I said, giving it to Gofumin. "It'll enhance your Magic and Physical Damage Resistance and even increase your physical strength."

"Ooooh! Awesome!" Gofumin said, swinging her small wooden sword around.

"And for you this Magic Ring, it enhances Magic Power and MP Regeneration Speed." I gave Bellerine her a ring.

"Thank you! Thank you!" She said, the little rabbit girl began jumping around happily.

Damn it, I am really weak to children. I really do have the heart of a mother, huh?
