Chapter 940 Maria Is Lovely

-----

After the defeat of the second wave of monsters, I decided to bring out the monster corpses I could, including the boss, and butchered the big boss for the S Rank Magic Crystal.

With that, I had... eight, I think! Two more to go! This Dungeon has been pretty nice on its rewards so far, to think it was just a little trip we were going to have around here.

"So far so good." I said, storing the last magic crystal inside my inventory. "Everyone's a bit tired so we're taking a little break before continuing."

"It has been only a couple of hours since we entered, but it looks like there's some more space to explore." Emeraldine pointed out, she was right at my side alongside Partner.

"Master, did you had to kill the whole monster yourself with Takeshi and Laura alone?!" She asked, slightly angrily. "That's not fair at all, I also wanted some action, you know?"

"Hahaha, sorry about that. I know you wanted some action, but I wanted to see how far Takeshi and Laura have progressed too." I said. "I think they should be able to beat S Rank threats if they work together and give it their all by now."

"Well, didn't they do that already back then when we got trapped by the Warlocks?" Emeraldine asked curiously.

"Well yes, but they still received the help of Tear, I believe... Nonetheless, you're right. I think they can take care of themselves pretty well now." I said rather proud of them. "To think that back then they were so afraid of everything, when we found them running away from that laboratory..."

"Ah well, yeah..." Emeraldine sighed. "Those weren't the best times. We were also running away ourselves, it was a harsh and hard life. We've gotten better now! Though, aren't we still hiding?"

"It is part of the job at this point." I shrugged. "Don't worry, once the week comes to an end, we'll no longer hide." I smiled, giving her a kiss in her nose. "I know you're worried, but everything's alright."

"It's my job to always be worried, everyone here lacks too much common sense sometimes." Emeraldine gently caressed my face. "But I know that as long as you're around, I'll always be safe."

She gave me back another kiss, much more lovingly on my lips. We ended looking at one another's eyes for a little few second, creating a warmer and sweeter atmosphere.

"Sometimes I feel like hugging and cuddling with you in bed all day..." I sighed.

"M-Maybe..." Partner felt embarrassed. "I love you too, Master! Since you gave me life with your magic, that I sworn I would protect the clumsy and overly talkative ghost bringing me to all sorts of dangerous places, hehe."

"So that's how you saw me back then?!" I asked in surprise. "Well, that makes me feel slightly embarrassed now... Was I that dummy?"

"Yes! You were always talking and talking, and very dummy! I had to protect you a lot or you would end up deader than dead." Partner laughed out loud.

"Damn..." I felt slightly conflicted about that. "Well, glad you stuck with someone like me, that's why I called you Partner back then. It was a rather careless name from my part, but it seems you don't really want to change it."

"Nuh-huh, that's the name you gave me, and I like it! It means I am your companion after all!" Partner was being more adorable than ever now. "Now give me some more moochies!"

She ended jumping over me and asking for more kisses.

"Hahaha, enough, enough~"

As I giggled and Emeraldine found the situation funny, I could feel the smell of grilled fish and boiled crab.

"Hmm?!"

I saw Jonathan having purified the boss corpse using his holy light magic, which was then cut down to pieces and grilled and boiled...

The huge crab pincers it had must be full of tender meat, and that fish grilled meat, covered on soy sauce and other spices seemed delish too!

"Ahh, I'm getting hungry again!"

As we ran to eat with everyone else, the three other Divided Egos I was using to continue crafting on top of the carriage were almost done with my new fancy heels and the gloves.
