Kantor Forest...
Sadim and Rosemarie stood at the massive entrance of a very ancient dungeon.
The beautiful red-haired nun was still worried about Sadim's health and kept checking if all his bandages were in the right place, but Sadim didn't seem happy.
In fact, you could even say he was angry.
"Rosemarie, I can't believe y──ACHK!"
The nun didn't want to hear any more of his rubbish complaints, so she simply tightened his bandage, which was what made Sadim to scream in pain.
He looked back at her with a frown.
"Lie and say you didn't do that on purpose!"
"I didn't, mwhehehe!"
Rosemarie chuckled softly, smiling like a smug cat.
Sadim groaned and held his side.
When Rosemarie saw this, her smile slowly faded into concern, and she gently placed her tender hand on his side to check what was wrong.
"Are you still feeling pain there?"
Her brows furrowing with worry.
Sadim forced a smile and placed a hand on her head, shaking his own.
"Don't worry too much about me. Your man is strong, you know. Things like this can barely hurt me."
"Oh, really~?"
"Hehe, really."
After that, Sadim's chuckles died out, and he folded his arms, wearing a more serious expression as he looked at Rosemarie with unease.
"I still don't like the fact that God Dionysus knows about my identity and how he's been using you to his advantage. It really irritates me. And now he's requested that you and I escort him through this dungeon... which I don't even know how he found out about, for fuck's sake."
He was deeply frustrated at how quickly Vritra was unveiling every single secret he had carefully kept under wraps.
First was the use of the name [Dionysus], a name that meant a lot to Sadim. The fact that Vritra knew it likely meant she was aware of another secret he hadn't even told Rosemarie.
But since the young lord had spent a whole day with Rosemarie without mentioning it, it meant one of three things: either he didn't know and was just pretending, he knew but wasn't certain, or he simply didn't want to tell her.
There were no other alternatives.
Second was his identity as the Red Rogue and the existence of this hidden dungeon that even Lord Arcellion didn't know about.
The dungeon was called the Gold Rock Dungeon and it had been sealed for thousands of years.
Mainly because no one knew of its existence.
It physically existed in Kantor Forest, but you could search the entire forest and never find it. To reveal it, someone who could already see it had to tell you about it.
Only Sadim and Rosemarie could see it, yet somehow, so could God Vritra.
Sadim initially thought maybe Rosemarie had told Vritra about the dungeon and that Vritra was just pretending to know, but there was no reason for her to share that secret.
Also, she would never betray him.
The frown on Sadim's face grew deeper.
"Says the man with many women around him."
"Ohoho, fair enough..."
The young lord shrugged casually.
On the other side, Princess Luciana, Esmeralda, and Ghislaine stood behind Vritra with the meanest looks on their faces. Their arms were folded, and they grunted heavily like angry animals, with bitter expressions as though they were about to swallow Rosemarie in their envy.
『Who in the world does she think she is?! Does she think she can just waltz in here and play with my husband without even greeting me?! Hmph, this must be the woman my honey was talking about last night. I refuse to accept that he has a thing for nuns—they're the most unattractive of the bunch, and this woman certainly isn't that attractive either!』
These were Luciana's thoughts. She fumed so hard that steam practically came off her.
Ghislaine was also angry.
『Hmph! At least this one doesn't have impressive breasts like Esmeralda and Luciana, so there's less competition for me, right? WRONG! The young master never chooses average women to be around him, so there must be something special about her...』
The small-bodied woman scratched her chin softly and walked closer to Vritra and Rosemarie. When she got close enough, her first instinct was to check out the nun's butt. When she saw its curve and shape, Ghislaine's eyes bulged as if they were about to pop.
『How the hell is her ass so perfect──?! Where in the world does the young lord find such women?! Hrmm, I have to see if it feels the way it looks. Mhm-hmm~』
Ghislaine's hand reached for Rosemarie's butt, and she grabbed it tightly to check.
『DAMN IT──! IT'S SO PERFECT!!』
The young lady instantly developed a deep hatred for this red-haired nun, whose name she barely even knew.
... Huh?
Everyone was confused as to why Ghislaine was feeling Rosemarie's butt.
"Uhm, can I help you?"
The nun smiled awkwardly at Ghislaine.
The small-bodied woman giggled awkwardly and quickly ran back to the young master's side.
Esmeralda simply studied Rosemarie closely, and then she looked behind her to see Sadim. She could still clearly remember him from two nights ago, as well as most of what Benita told her about him.
『Hmm, with how angry he looks, it's very likely that this woman God Vritra seems to be so familiar with is First Lieutenant Goldtouch's partner. Mhm, I'm very sure. That means we don't really have to worry about her getting close to the young lord, it surely won't happen.』
Unlike the others, Esmeralda was very much aware of what was going on, so she could comfortably calm herself.
『But I'll keep a close eye just in case... I wouldn't want to share my young lord with more women.』
She smiled very proudly.
As for Imperial Knight Sophia, she just stood there in silence, feeling the most out of place.
God Vritra smiled at Rosemarie and held her hands.
"So, are you ready for this little dungeon dive?"
Rosemarie's cheeks turned red.
"Uhh, very much so. But uh..."
She gently slipped her hands out of Vritra's grasp and looked to the side to see Sadim's reaction.
He wasn't happy at all.
The young hero was as red as a boiling pot of chilli.
『DON'T TOUCH MY WOMAN, SON OF A BITCH!』
