章節 10: Minor plot dev recap and return to the surface

So... that was about twice as long as I had planned. I guestimated around 1k at most. Nah, it went up to 2k. I mean, wow.

Anyways recap that I forgot to mention. After the group arrived at the mansion, Jinwoo and Hae-in visited and brought some care packages with Andrea's blueprints and design notebooks. She created PDAs for the group, Yue included, and had her mother load as many songs as she could within a week. Andrea accidentally fell into the trap of discovery and ignored Yue for a week because of it. She took Yue on a candlelit dinner date and then spent five hours doing what was in the lemon. Now the two will awaken to the morning with some pains and aches.

------------------------------------------------------

As I woke up, there were no bird chirps, and there was no natural sunlight, just the light from the artificial sunlight and a warmth that was clinging to my body. I remembered the night before and how it was genuinely fantastic. I summoned and directed Alpha to unlock the manor and prepare the bath and breakfast. Out of battle, she acts as the head maid. And no, I didn't direct her to. She literally took it on herself to summon herself and do that stuff when I was too tired, so she became a maid/secretary.

I opened my eyes to see the ball of Yue clinging to me like there was no tomorrow, and I couldn't hold back my smile or hands. I held her close as she readjusted herself on instinct and began to rub her head softly against me. She smiled in her sleep, and after a few minutes, her eyes began to flutter open. I'm guessing she remembered last night because she suddenly fell into a blush that a redhead would be jealous of and looked up at me. We both gave glorious smiles to each other as we fell into a light kiss. We were both aching far too much for anything more passionate.

I finally looked at my PDA to see it had passed noon and couldn't help but apologize to Nagumo in my head. After all, the open-air bath was still within the manor. "Come on, Yue, let's go take a bath. We're both not going to be able to do much today." She nodded in response, but she was even worse than me and kept wincing as she moved. I remembered some of the stuff she tried to match me with and figured that must be why. She probably pulled at least one muscle.

I carefully pick her up and slip her into a shirt, messaging Nagumo to stay out until we're out of the bath and that Beru and Glory will be guarding it. I feel like I heard a small shriek from outside but ignored it. It sounded too much like a little girl's to be Nagumo or even a monster's. We went to the bath and were in there for at least an hour. Afterward, we were called inside by Alpha for breakfast. Neither of us bothered much with what to wear, so I simply summoned some hoodies and hotpants. I made the hoodies to hug us a bit so we wouldn't accidentally flash anybody, and we already got Nagumo to ignore the shorts. We found that he couldn't care less for asses or thighs; what a heretic.

While eating breakfast, Nagumo came in and sat down, a smirk on his face, and, before he could say anything, I cut him off. "Knock it off. What happens in the bedroom stays in it." I say. He frowned and sighed before digging into his food.

"Either way, congrats, you two. You got to the next level. Now the only thing left is marriage."

"And kids," Yue says. Both Nagumo and I look at her, then at each other. We nodded before I addressed the apparent issue with what Yue just said.

"Yue, you do know we can't have kids, right?" Yue looks puzzled before the realization hits her. She blushes before waving me over and whispering into my ear, "It's a thing my ancestors made. Magic that uses our orgasms to impregnate the other, as long as the juices reach their destination and all." I make an 'O' shape with my mouth, then go, "EHH! Really?!" Yue nods her head, continuing to eat with her blush. Now I'm smiling like there isn't a tomorrow because now I know that there will be for my little family.

Nagumo must have caught on because he said, "I'm happy for you two," while giving one of his very few remaining genuine smiles. He then continues, "I suppose we should be ready to go in a few days. The transport and bikes are already prepared and stored. The only thing remaining is storing all of the remaining materials."

I nod and say, "Alright, we should be good then in two days at most."

We then finish the food before Yue and I crash onto the couch, much to Nagumo's displeasure. "What? We're in too much pain to be doing that now. I have shadows helping, don't worry."

Two days later, we're changed into new clothes and preparing to leave. Yue is wearing the outfit I made her but with proper materials and armor layering it. I was wearing a black and blue hoodie with a black underbust compression crop top and slate jeans reinforced with metals and materials to maintain flexibility and durability. Finally, I had some wedge heels that pumped me up three inches. Most would think it was stupid, but after trying, I realized it helped my fighting style, so I made them with a steel-toe design that closes up near mid-calf with the wedge being a blue material, in this case, a steel-like metal that had good grip.

(A/N: Hajime just got his outfit, that's all)

We are standing around the circle that should lead us to the surface. We elected to have Nagumo hold onto the ring. Unfortunately, I was a little scatterbrained when it came to small things, Yue didn't care, and Nagumo found it actually important to always have, so he either wore it or kept it in a box.

Finally, we approached the circle. Nagumo activated it with the ring, causing it to light up. The circle then teleported us to the surface. Although, based on what we just saw, it would be more appropriate to say blasted out of the roof of a cliff face. When we arrived, we saw a real bunny girl being chased by some dual-headed T-rex. She then looked over to us, no, to Nagumo with joy and gratefulness. The T-rex thing then ran the opposite way, far away from us.

"Great! You're finally here!" the bunny girl is rushing towards us at max speeds while I'm helping Yue up. The girl then continues to tackle Nagumo. When I see what she's wearing and how she's acting, "Heh~" I chuckle. Nagumo was obviously getting a bad feeling from my chuckle, but I say it anyway. "Oh, Nagumo, ~Sigh, I can't say that I'm not disappointed in you. Two-timing, and you've only been in this world for a month. Oh, you poor girl." I can already tell this dude has the fate of a fucking harem god, but I couldn't care less. As long as he stays far away from Yue and I, I couldn't care less.
