Chapter 306: Udaeus 1
Ais opened her eyes when she felt someone enter the bathroom. "Riveria, you're too late." She had been sleeping in the hot spring pool while she waited for Riveria. However, Riveria only came now, which made her pout.
"Sorry, I had something to do earlier." Riveria lowered her head and didn't dare to meet Ais's eyes when she was asked this question.
"Is that so?" Fortunately, Ais didn't press the question and stood up, walking out of the hot spring pool. "I have taken a bath enough. I'll go out." She had enough and wanted to refresh her body since it felt uncomfortable to stay in the hot bath too long.
"Okay." Riveria nodded and said, "I'll help you to do your hair later."
While Ais felt unhappy being treated as a child, Riveria had always treated her like this from childhood. There was nothing she could do, so she nodded.
Riveria sighed in relief since, fortunately, Ais didn't realize the strangeness around her.
When Ais walked down after she had dried her body and put her clothes on, she felt weird at why the door and the window were wide open. She also smelled a smell that she had never smelled before, and this smell made her face flush.
"Huh? Ais?" Tsukasa was slightly surprised, but he quickly calmed down. "Do you want this cold milk? Riveria has cooled it with her magic."
"...." Ais was speechless, but she nodded, took the cold glasses, and gulped the cold and sweet milk without hesitation. She couldn't drink alcohol since if she drank, she would go on a rampage. However, she was okay with the others, such as white milk.
Frankly, there weren't many types of beverages except for tea, milk, and alcohol.
As for soda, please don't even think about it. After all, it didn't exist in this world.
Still, it felt nice to drink cold milk after a bath, and Ais let out a comfortable sigh, feeling her entire body was refreshed, but then she heard a chuckle from Tsukasa, which made her confused. "What's wrong?"
"Your mouth." Tsukasa pointed at Ais's lips.
"My mouth?" Ais touched her mouth slightly before she realized what had happened and quickly wiped her mouth with her hand.
"Wait! Wait! Let me wipe it for you." Tsukasa was speechless at how wild Ais was. He took his handkerchief and gently wiped the milk stain on Ais's lips.
Ais sat there docilely, without moving as if she was frozen by the ice on the glass. However, strangely, smoke emitted from her head as her face turned redder than a tomato.
Still, before long, Riveria returned and asked, "What's that?" While she was speechless at the fact that Tsukasa asked her to use her magic so he could use the ice, she wondered what she would use with it.
"It's cold milk. Do you want to try?" Tsukasa asked and gave his glass to Riveria.
"Let me try." Riveria took Tsukasa's glass and sipped it gently. Similar to Ais, she didn't drink alcohol, but she still ate meat even though it wasn't her favorite.
Tsukasa also only learned that the elf's diet wasn't that much different from a human's, and they weren't vegetarian.
"......." Ais just sat there staring at Riveria in silence.
"It's good." Riveria licked the stains of white milk on her lips.
"........" Tsukasa.
Riveria returned the glass and said, "I'll prepare the dinner. You two sit down here and wait for a while."
"Yeees~~!" 2x
Tsukasa and Ais agreed, sitting down while waiting for Riveria to cook.
After the food was ready, the three ate together while talking to each other. They didn't talk about monsters, dungeons, or other serious matters. Instead, they just talked about a trivial thing that happened to them.
Tsukasa also didn't ask about the identity of the red-haired woman since he had asked before.
While no one knew who that woman was, they knew this woman knew about Ais's secret.
Tsukasa, who had listened to Ais's story in the past, knew how extraordinary her identity was. Her father was known as the "Mercenary King," and her mother was Aria, the "Wind Spirit."
The woman might have mistaken Ais for Aria, but Tsukasa knew he shouldn't jump to a conclusion when everything wasn't cleared yet.
Still, Tsukasa knew he couldn't solve this riddle for a while since he had planned to go home after he had become a Level 5 adventurer.
'One more level.'
Tsukasa looked at the distance sky through the window and really missed his girlfriends in his original world. It was only for a moment, so no one caught the subtle change in his emotion.
However, after they ate, they encountered one big problem.
"I'll sleep on the side," Tsukasa said.
"No, you'll sleep in the middle," Riveria said without hesitation.
"......." Tsukasa looked at Riveria speechlessly and wondered what this woman wanted to do.
"Ais, are you alright with it?" Riveria asked while looking at Ais.
Ais was stunned, but she nodded gingerly. She didn't understand the reason, but she felt her heart pounding and her face red. This feeling made her uncomfortable, yet she didn't want to move away from it and stayed there.
"......"
Tsukasa stayed there for a moment, but he didn't fight back. Instead, he just enjoyed the force majeure and slept right between two beautiful women.
It might seem weird why Riveria told her man to sleep between her and Ais. However, when they stayed together, she felt it was just so natural for them to be together. She knew it might seem weird to the people around them, but somehow, she just wanted the three of them to be together.
The light was turned off, and they lay on their futon in silence.
"Ais."
"Hmm?" Ais turned her head, watching Tsukasa's profile from the side.
"Let's do our best tomorrow," Tsukasa said while looking at Ais.
"...." Ais blinked her eyes and nodded without hesitation. "Yes."
However, Tsukasa's cheek was pulled by someone.
"Are you not going to include me here?" Riveria asked.
"Ouch! Ouch! Riveria, calm down. I don't mean that."
The three laughed before they slept, but as if a magnet drew a metal around it closer, Tsukasa felt two women enter his bed, move closer, and hug him together.
"......."
Tsukasa felt it was partly because of his luck. Even Line couldn't escape from it. However, Line had always woken up early from Lefiya and Alicia, so no one noticed the abnormality.
Anyway, Tsukasa knew he needed to solve his messy relationship after returning to his original world. However, he could think about that matter after he returned to his world, and right now, he needed to sleep.

The walls, ground, and ceiling are colored white, with the floor being a giant labyrinth.
This was the characteristic of the Deep Floors.
The space was quite misty, with several immense, rounded walls connected to each other by numerous passages. All of them were wide and as large as those found on the surface. The total areas were even comparable to Orario.
Many people usually avoid this place, and this place was known as the "White Palace."
They waited for a while, but as the ground trembled, they knew what was going to come.
A black, metallic cocoon-like thing grew from the ground, then two skeleton hands ripped it apart, showing what was hiding inside.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!"
Level 6. A king of monsters. White Palace's Black Skeleton Lord.
Floor Boss, Udaeus.
