Chapter 674 Blake Spoils His Girlfriends Too Much



-----

As the Boss of this floor was finally felled, my Spirits were making an uproar.

"Master why didn't you let us fight?!" Cried Fang. "I would had been glad to fight such a powerful foe! I could had helped you with my strength…"

"Your group did seem to struggle a bit! Was it fair to not let us enjoy the show a bit?" Woo sighed, crossing his arms. "Let us fight, damn brat!"

"You two relax for a bit…" Hendrick sighed. "Master knows how strong we are right now, he simply wanted us not to intervene and make things more boring, right?"

"Well, more or less." I said. "The more of you I have, the stronger our group becomes, but that also creates an imbalance in our party where my companions won't be able to grow so much through these fights, struggling is important to grow stronger, if I add you to the mix, things might get too easy. So for now, just be patient. I'll bring you out in the next floor because the monsters will grow in numbers. But remain mostly as supportive fighters, don't get in the way of my friends."

"Sigh… Fine, whatever." Woo crossed his arms.

"Alright! I'll do my best, master!" Fang barked happily.

"Well, I guess they're happy." Eleanora sighed. "Though I also felt a bit… excerpted of this fight. I am also your friend's friend, right? Don't be so unfair…"

"Yeah papa! Let us blast some monsties!" Saphira said.

"Okay, fine, I'll bring you out." I sighed, as all the Vampires were freed from their cage known as the Spirit Orb's Realm.

As they were all summoned, I gave them the command of gathering all the monster corpses so I can easily store everything inside of my Inventory.

Meanwhile…

"We did it, Blake!" Erika said. "Oh! You summoned your spirits a bit too late…"

"Yeah, I was trying to restrain them so the fight would be more challenging." I sighed. "Alas, it was still a bit disappointing anyways, C+ Rank monsters aren't that much, and even C++… It was quite not a big deal."

"I don't think you should be saying that when we are just on the first floor of the Dungeon…" Chris sighed. "Maybe it will get harder! Come on man, don't be like that."

"Hmph, well, maybe for you it wasn't challenging because you left us all the work." Said Elfriedden.

"Maybe. Well, my intention was to see how well you could cooperate. Did you wanted me to solo the boss, Elfriedden?" I sighed.

"I-I didn't said that…" Elfriedden muttered. "Anyways, your "pushing" certainly helped me grow stronger now… I'm grateful, although it is rather hard for me to admit it, you're a really strong and competent leader."

"Oh wow, where did that came from?" Laughed Erdrich. "Did you fall for him or something, long ears?"

"D-Don't call me long ears!" Elfriedden said furiously. "You're literally a demon yet you dare make fun of my graceful ears? This is the proof I am a noble elf!"

"I am not a demon; you damn blue haired princy!" Erdrich said angrily, gritting his teeth.

"Enough, let's take a small break for now." I sighed with a smile, having grown accustomed to my friend's shenanigans. "Don't fight, we're all friends and allies in here. Erdrich, just bear with Elfriedden, he means no wrong when he says harsh things to us, or me. He just has a hard time expressing his feelings."

"W-What?! I…! I don't have any difficulties!" Elfriedden looked like he was offended greatly by my words.

As I left them t their own devices for a bit, I checked the Grimoire, which was making a chime-like sound.

Well, that's quite generous of them. I hadn't hold any grudge or something against them, I know they don't know everything either, even when they're the pillars of this world. But it seems that they thought I was imagining they were conspiring against me or something?

Honestly, compared to all the war lords and scheming tyrants my previous life fought against, the Holy Spirits are really cute in comparison, they're very naïve as well, so I've had to teach them a lot of things…

"Heh, thanks for the bonus, but don't worry, I am not really angry at you guys or something." I sighed. "Though, if that makes you give me more rewards, then let's say I am really angry now."

Ding!

[The [Holy Spirit of Love] giggles at your cheeky nature.]

[The [Holy Spirit of Darkness] likes your scheming mind.]

[The [Holy Spirit of Light] sighs on relief, ignoring your last words…]

"Blake! Everyone! Did you handled things alright?" Wondered Elizabeth, reaching us in a few seconds. "Phew… The bugs were extremely stronger when you were engaging the boss… Thankfully, it is done."

"Hmm, for the next floors my spirits will be joining the battle, so we'll be able to take care of the mobs much easier." I said with a nod. "For now, how about we have a small meal to refill energy?"

"Pasta?" Asked Erika, appearing behind me and surprising me a bit.

"Pasta!" Elizabeth nodded, looking at me with endearing eyes.

"Fine…" I sighed. "I guess that's you girls' favorite meal."

Since that day I cooked pasta for them that they had not forgotten about it…
