"Graa!"

"Oraaa!"

"Guh"

"Just die already! You fucking green thing!"

A few days after Riku's first foray into the dungeon she did it a few times on her own and at this time she was being inspected by someone else from her new Familia.

"Don't get distracted"

"I know!"

Shaking the Goblin's fist with a slight flick of her wrist Riku swung the knife slashing the Goblin and killing it on the spot.

After that Riku dodged a few more Goblins' claws and attacked them without hesitation to eliminate them. She lost some fear when it came to fighting, but her way of fighting was still very crude and needed refinement.

She ducked down and kicked the feet of a Goblin and picked up some stones in the process and threw them at others coming in the distance.

Riku ran at high speed and did not let them react before attacking them in the head, first cutting their field of vision, the eyes, and then combining her blows with some kicks and then stabbing and killing them.

"You have very good agility, you need to focus on knowing when to attack and not get out of control in combat"

"I understand" Riku nodded wearily.

Riveria accompanied Riku after Bete bothered to go about his business and at Loki's request let him off the hook for the favor the girl had asked of the werewolf.

'Fuck you! If you die it's not my fault. It'll only be because you were weak so don't ask me to go with you, it's annoying to see you fighting with the weaklings all the time'

Bete said those words to Riku and just left without saying goodbye or another word.

Loki just looked at everything as he always did, Riveria sighed seeing Bete's attitude and Riku on the other hand thanked loudly making Bete yell at her to go fuck herself.

The girl knows how to get the werewolf out of his hair.

*Crack*

More monsters came out of the walls and Riku prepared for combat, but before starting she looked at Riveria inquisitively to ask her something.

"Is something wrong?"

"Can I use my magic?"

Riveria just looked at the girl who was looking at her effusively with her eyes which showed all the restrained feeling of interest and curiosity.

"Still n-"

"Thank you Riveria-san!"

"Wait, I didn't sa- Hey! Stop!"

Riku didn't want to hear anything from Riveria and didn't wait for her to finish talking, since she would probably say no and Riku would only feel sad that she couldn't use her magic so she acted before her time.

Running towards the monsters Riku kept a safe distance and inhaled deeply to calm her nerves.

Since she came to this world Riku has only heard about magic, she has seen various items made with magic or some special ability, but she has never seen magic as such.

She thought of the magic that was described on the status sheet and focused on it.

[Satanas Verion]

That magic was one which was described as a ranged attack using sound which could be used with just one word.

"Wraghh!"

"Groo!"

"Haghh!"

The monsters made guttural sounds as they ran madly towards Riku who was still in the same position.

She slowly extended her right hand towards the monsters while using her other hand to hold her arm outstretched and braced herself.

She inhaled and opened her mouth.

"Gospel"

*¡Fooshhh!*

*¡Pam!*

*BOMB*

"Aghh!"

At that moment the unexpected happened.

Riveria looked at everything in the distance and just grimaced at what happened.

With a single word the magic shot out from where it had been decided by Riku, her right hand.

The sound was expelled at high speed causing a great screeching sound in the dungeon corridor which eliminated the monsters leaving only the magic stone of them.

On the other side.

Riku lay on the ground holding her sore hand from the incorrect use of magic, the magic was powerful enough, but concentrating it and expelling it through one place was enough to damage the source of the magic.

"I told you. You weren't ready yet"

"Hgn, I didn't think it was so... powerful"

Riveria looked at the girl on the ground as she rubbed her temple "Magic has its characteristics and yours doesn't need a magic spell to be used"

"Th-That means...?"

"Your body only expels the magic damaging it in the process" Riveria helped the girl up "We're done for today, for the next few days you are forbidden to enter the dungeon"

"Huh?!" Riku exclaimed in surprise "Hey! Why am I being denied access to the dungeon?!"

"You need to learn the basic fundamentals and..."

"So what?"

"Your age"

"What?" Riku just frowned "My... Age? I'm sensible enough to stay out of trouble and analyze my own actions, I don't see anything wrong with that"

"It's not an order from me" Riveria just looked at her without changing her expression "It's an order from our Goddess. Loki said that you needed to grow up without being focused on the dungeon all the time"

"Oh"

Riku kept silent at the noble Elf's words. She could understand a bit of the Goddess' thinking, probably because of her origin or she just doesn't want Riku to get into danger too quickly.

She is a bit stubborn and wants to do many things at once without considering the consequences, something that Loki already knows exactly by looking at her.

"Good" Riku nodded in understanding "Anyway I need to learn other things and buy new swords"

"What do you need swords for?" Riveria asked with a raised eyebrow "I can see you get by with the knife and your movements. Take a potion. You need to heal that hand before it's too late"

"Using a knife is fine, but I won't always be able to rely on such a small weapon for big enemies" Riku took the potion then looked down at her healed fist and clenched it tightly "I need a sword"

"Hm, silly" Riveria hit Riku on the head gently "You need a good bath first"

Riku paused her thoughts before grabbing the collar of her shirt and sniffing it a couple of times then looking down at her clothes which were filthy with dried monster blood.

"Good"

Both went to the surface.

"Have a seat"

"What are we going to do?"

"Wait a minute"

Riveria moved away from Riku's position as she took a seat in one of the chairs with the desk that was in the same spot.

After the dungeon Riku took a bath in her room, she still doesn't get used to taking baths with the other girls and prefers to take her time in her own bathroom in her room.

Just the thought of being naked with other women makes her blush and she can't help but be embarrassed, she's never done that kind of thing and prefers not to yet.

Now looking around the place Riku couldn't help but show amazement at the sights she had.

They were in Riveria's room.

She'd become interested in elves because of the movies and stories she'd seen in the past and now she was absolutely sure that elves had a style to themselves.

Riveria's room had a lot of wooden things in it.

Many magic stone lamps with different styles of flowers and fruits had been placed next to Riveria's bed and desk.

On the desk were many scrolls and a large pile of papers, the items Riku saw seemed to be of high quality, all the papers probably belong to the Familia.

The Elf's staff was leaning against a large bookshelf filled with books. There was a vase with an arrangement of pure white flowers, next to it was a large clear bottle with a young flowering tree growing inside.

Riku remembered the decorations that are closed, but inside they have landscapes or in this case beautiful plants.

There were also a lot of magic potions and other beautifully colored things, spare jewelry, and all of that was on other shelves.

Riku was sitting there looking around and when she turned around she looked at Riveria who was carrying a lot of books.

*Thud*

"What's all this?"

The books had been placed in front of her, Riku even wanted to grimace but refrained. She studied and read, but not at this level of books.

"I'll teach you about the basics you need to learn for the dungeon, in other words, study"

"Are you sure this is studying?"

"Yes, now listen carefully" Riveria spoke without pausing "We are going to study about the dungeon, but also about magic skills and so on. I'll teach you the mentality that an adventurer should have"

"I guess this will be a great help to me"

Riveria just looked at the girl with a normal look, but behind all that she was trying to understand Riku's behavior.

She acted like a little girl at times, but at other times she acted as if she had great experience. Loki's words were that she survived a kidnapping and what happened in this one was forgotten by Riku.

Riveria wouldn't interfere in the girl's life, but she still wanted to teach her and help her grow up. Riku was still too young to be an adventurer, but the look on her face showed that she wouldn't go back on her words.

So Riveria just accepted and went to work.

"Riku what we will learn will be about the 'spirit of the great tree' which is essential for us mages. You need to develop a state of mind that is not swayed by anything"

Riku's face twisted with the last words getting a look from Riveria "The perfect display of the latter was when you used your magic in the dungeon. You couldn't control it and hurt yourself just by using it"

"I didn't think it was that strong my magic" Riku looked down at her hand "I thought I just needed to concentrate and say the magic and that's it"

"That's just the beginning. If you keep fighting like that you'll end up with yourself" Riveria got a slightly sad look from Riku "Magic is dangerous and it's possible to die just by using it"

"Huh?" that stopped all of Riku's thoughts.

She didn't understand things and now was her big chance to learn, but every time she learned or heard something else she was scared of what might have happened to her if she learned on her own.

"Come on Riku, give her a chance" Loki entered the conversation with a kind voice "Aren't you happy to have such a beauty near you as your mentor?"

That earned Loki a hard look from Riveria and a blank one from Riku. Now looking at her, Riku wouldn't say it out loud, but Riveria could be considered one of the most beautiful women she'd ever seen in her life.

Riku kept her gaze blank, but inside she was trying her best not to glance at Riveria in her entirety, from head to toe.

Difficult, complicated decisions.

"Hehehe, my cute Riku and my beautiful Riveria, it's been a long time since I've seen a great combination since Ais was here... Hey Riveria, this time would you agree to wear glasses for me?"

*Pop*

Riveria just threw a book at Loki's face at Riku's amused look.

"Riku, the first thing I want you to learn is that if Loki harasses you you have my permission to hit her to get her away from you"

"I understand"

She nodded sagely at the noble Elf's teachings and Loki only muttered a few words of disappointment as she rose from the ground.

"Riku" this time Loki spoke seriously "I think Riveria already told you about your dungeon ban"

"It did" she nodded "If I remember correctly it has something to do with me growing up"

"You are correct. A few years ago we had a girl much younger than you and we tried our best to get her to let go of her desire to be stronger"

"Something happened, right?"

"Yes" Riveria sighed, but quickly pulled herself together "She came as you did, she wanted to get stronger, but her desire was uncontrollable to the point of almost dying all the time because of her recklessness"

"Do you think I'm like her?"

"No" Loki put her hand on Riku's head and rubbed it a little "You're much more sensible than her, but you're still a child who needs to grow up in a different environment than the dungeon"

"For that reason I will teach you what is necessary" Riku looked at Riveria "I want to teach you and at the same time also take care of you as part of the Familia"

Riku just thought for a while while Loki kept rubbing her head lovingly. She doesn't think much about growing up, she just waits for things to happen and figures them out.

For that reason Riku will trust the adults who are by her side and focus on what is necessary, after all they are not like the ones from her previous world and it is possible to trust them.

"Good" Riku replied to which Loki only nodded as she removed her hand and Riveria made a small smile "But I have a request"

"Which one is it?" asked Loki.

"I don't like to waste time so I was wondering if, Could you let me work at the Hostess of Fertility as my break?"

"That place?" Riveria asked with a raised eyebrow "Why do you want to go to work if you're not in the dungeon? Wouldn't it be the same?"

"In my opinion it isn't. You guys want my growth to not focus on the dungeon and do different things so it would be nice to work at the Hostess of Fertility, since my companions are there and it would be a very friendly environment"

"Fine by me" Loki said honestly and Riveria thought about it for a few seconds then nodded at Riku's initiative.

"You'll just need Mama Mia's permission"

"Well... I guess I'll have to talk to her first"

"Good" Loki smiled mischievously "Now could you tell me your other intention to work"

Loki hit the nail on the head because Riku stopped and looked quickly at Loki and then at Riveria only for her to get the same curious look as Riku.

"…"

"What was that? I can' t hear you dear Riku"

"Money"

"That's go- Wait what?" Loki just looked at her confused.

"I want money to buy equipment for the dungeon"

"Why don't you ask for some money?" Loki looked at Riveria, but she just shook her head.

"I don't want to" Riku frowned as she spoke without reservation "If I ask someone for money and in case others constantly help me I get used to that way of living and it affects the way I act by just relying on others"

"I discussed that with her in the dungeon" Riveria said to Loki's nod as she rubbed her chin "Then let's get started"

Riku just looked at the books and gulped at Riveria's study session.

It was going to be a hard day

xxxxx

It's definitely not a good idea to study with Riveria.

Just remembering that all that was just the beginning and there were still many things to read and learn, I would definitely fall asleep sitting in that place, it's been a long time since I studied with that amount of information.

I rubbed my temples remembering how I fought in the dungeon. It was effective for me, but what will become of the others who will see me when I do it.

For Bete I only move like a rabbit in the grass and Riveria says I still need to refine my movements. At least I'm still starting and I'm going to grow like everyone else.

"Tch, damn time"

I couldn't avoid clicking my teeth in clear annoyance, leveling up is considered extremely difficult.

Spend a long time fighting so that in the process you only gain a few stats and during all that time it takes about 2 years or more to level up from level 1 to 2.

Looking at it another way if people got their strength increase very quickly the world would be full of multiple powerful people and there would be quite a lot of chaos in many places.

I'd better make do with what I have, it would do me good to grow in age and strength at the same time, I'm still in my youth.

I hope at some point to see my brother, I guess I got a little feeling of longing to see him.

Now I have reached my destination.

The decor is the same as always. A quiet environment to relax. The light of the magic stone lamps gave it a special touch, unfortunately it was still daylight so they were not on.

The modern and elegant style to attract the clientele to spend all their money and make them enjoy it so that later they will come back and spend more money.

The building was two stories high, it was much bigger than other night bars which allowed us to accept more customers. It was made and decorated with stones like other shops.

The Hostess of Fertility.

Enter at a slow pace, there are not many people, but still the atmosphere inside the pub is very cool.

The atmosphere is brilliant. Thanks to the fact that there were only female employees in the pub the place was full of energy, the laughter was never lacking and I liked that.

But there were always the perverted looks of some customers, even I was not spared and that I'm still too young to receive them, the good thing that most only appreciated my beauty and did not look at me in a perverse way so everything was fine.

The interior was very elegant. There was an atmosphere like other places, but it kept the essence of a bar, Mama Mia followed the fashion carefully and we represented it in person.

When I looked around I looked for my target and quickly walked towards her.

And I caressed it.

"Munyaa?!"

Anya jumped in surprise at having received a touch on her tail as she held the empty food tray tightly to her chest.

"Riku nya! Why did you do that nya?!"

"Ah, I've come to visit"

I opened my arms with an embarrassed laugh only to have Anya hug me in the same way.

"It's been a while since you left nya"

"Don't be exaggerated" I refuted her words "It's only been about 3 days since I left, even I don't know the time exactly"

"That's right nya! " Anya said with a smile as her tail wagged "Do you want to talk to Mama Mia?"

"I really need to ask her something" even Anya grimaced "I'm not allowed to go into the dungeon and I also need to be in a friendly environment for my own good"

"Oh, I understand" a voice coming from behind me gave me a shiver "I guess I can get some of my free time back now"

When I looked there was Syr with a menacing aura, I guess leaving the Host meant that the tasks I was taking care of were taken over by her.

"S-Syr, long time no see" I ignored her aura and walked over to give her a hug.

She only showed confusion, but after a few moments she gave me a hug like she always did.

"It's good to see you again Riku"

"The feeling is mutual" I said cheerfully as I broke off "Do you know where Mama Mia is?"

"It's in the back nya" Anya answered me.

"Do you think she'll take me back on the job?" I asked with some uncertainty, Mama Mia is not the type to accept other people's requests just like that.

You need to explain to Mia what you want to do and if she doesn't see a benefit then she won't accept.

I recently joined a Familia and had to leave The Hostess of Fertility to move house, now as I need something to distract me and not grow all the time in the dungeon for my mental state I came back.

"In case she rejects you personally I will ask her to accept you" Syr told me so that a sigh of relief came out of me "But depending on the words you use she will decide what to do with you"

With that it was all gone for me.

"Hey Anya, don't you have a job?"

When I asked her she froze to see one of the waitresses exclaim silently, but with different expressions to which Anya said goodbye and ran to help her.

"Now, why did you go back to work?" Syr asked me curiously "I thought you would be busy with your new Familia?"

"Well..." I scratched the back of my head sheepishly "Loki-sama and Riveria-san told me that I shouldn't go into the dungeon too much"

"Oh, isn't that wrong if you want to be adventurous or is there another reason?" Syr said as she covered her mouth curiously.

"The reason was because of my growth" I intimated "Not my growth in status, they meant my growth as a person"

"I see" Syr nodded with a smile "They care about you"

"It feels good to have someone to look out for you and give you advice" I replied with a nostalgic smile.

After I moved out I had to get used to taking care of myself and taking care of my health, my mother was no longer with me so I couldn't feel that feeling when I was in my own home.

Now I have Mama Mia who I consider as my mother of this world even though I know her for a short time and Loki and Riveria, it feels good to have people like that.

"I guess taking care of someone else is a big responsibility" Syr replies with her own thoughts.

"You don't say Syr" I said curiously "I wonder what Mama Mia will do with all of us?"

"It's part of her charm"

I laughed at Syr and then said goodbye and went to the back.

I hope Mama Mia doesn't get mad.

xxxxx

"Are you done?"

"Yes"

"Well, get on with the kitchen. May needs help"

"I understand!"

It was better than expected.

Seeing Mama Mia after I left and came back was... hard, but easy at the same time.

I'll be honest, I thought she would say something to me, since I told her I was joining a Familia and mine is one of the biggest, so it might have triggered something with Mama Mia.

When I told her my reasons for coming to the Hostess of Fertility she laughed at me and gave me several pats on the back knocking me off balance in the process.

I still remember what my routine was, a big part of my job was cleaning, helping in the kitchen and delivering food, but thanks to my age I didn't do much.

Now with falna I can do all that and a bit more.

Mama Mia took my return well and said it was okay for me to take my time off to get used to the dungeon, but that I couldn't do this all the time.

I accept that she agreed with Loki's thinking as well and that she had seen a blonde girl before who only focused on the dungeon.

I don't know her yet, if I remember correctly it's called... hais, aid, aim, ais, I think it's the last one.

Anyway Mama Mia is putting me to work and I couldn't help but wince at the work.

She is definitely taking advantage of my arrival.

"May, how are you doing on that side?"

"Everything in order nya!" she answered me energetically as always "What are you doing around here nya? I thought you were in the yard nya"

"Knowing Mama Mia she sent me here because soon more customers will come and the kitchen load will increase"

"I understand nya. Go get those vegetables, the soup needs a few nya"

"I'm on it"

As most of the time I am making the additions that are given to the food. Making meals that I remember has not yet become a possible factor.

I mean, to be in the middle of the night cooking my Mexican food only to have a coworker come in the kitchen because of the smell or Mama Mia come in and tell me why I'm using the stuff outside of work time.

"How troublesome"

Letting out a tired sigh I hand the cut vegetables to May and then leave the kitchen and head to the bathrooms.

I stealthily moved and headed to the bathroom for a refreshing shower.

I placed a notice that I was busy and closed the door to then move things around and fill the tub with slightly warm water to feel it on my body.

After some time I undressed and slowly got into the bathtub to close my eyes and relax my whole body.

A long time ago I got into the habit of taking a bath.

It sounds simple, but for me who constantly thinks about a lot of things every day without stopping it can get a bit annoying and tiring so right now I don't do anything and just relax.

For some reason I really enjoy taking care of my body and taking a hot bath, I feel delicate, that sounded strange, but I don't mind.

I started to embrace the bath taste since I took one in the bedroom of my new home, Twilight Manor. The baths there are crazy based on style and quality so I can say that my baths last several minutes.

Something that always comes to my head is the thought of being born as a man, of course I'm used to being a girl, but I can't avoid that little thought in my head all the time.

If it had been like that, Would I be in my brother's body? I mean, I came here as Riku and now I have a twin brother so it wouldn't be strange to say that I could have had a life like him.

Well, thinking about it won't help me.

The Hostess of Fertility was made by Mama Mia, what I found out was that she used to be an adventurer a long time ago. I wonder what she did back then.

She only accepts women in this place, I have seen Mia reject several men who wanted to get a job here, some even said they would regret it and seek conflict, but only one blow from Mama Mia calmed the whole thing down.

The employees gathered in this place had been through various situations and Mama Mia didn't care what the circumstances were and generously welcomed each one of them.

Honestly back then when she accepted me I was still in the confusion of a new world so I didn't feel much happiness when she accepted me, but a small part of me was grateful to have a place to stay.

At that time I was thinking about what to do in case they told me to leave, I made a lot of effort to become independent so it wouldn't be difficult or so I thought.

Looking at my body I couldn't avoid a smile creeping onto my face.

I'm glad Mama Mia even considered calling a high level healer to remove the scars from my body, I still think about what my body would look like with scars.

I ran my hands slowly down my legs, my torso, my arms and finally my chest to finish, I still have that thought about whether they will grow or just be a normal size.

In all honesty the many women I have seen in Orario have a particular beauty.

The girls of the Loki Familia are beautiful, Loki has said that her desire was to create a powerful Familia, but in the process she has obtained members that she considers beautiful, especially the women.

Elves have shown their beauty just by walking and now elven women are a thing, just remembering Riveria my cheeks color a little, thanks to my experience I managed to avoid a silly look when she taught me about magic.

In the same way the semi-humans were another feature that fascinated me.

Just seeing an ear and a tail was enough to make my gaze linger on them for quite some time, I could even say that I have not lacked the desire to test if caresses work with them, Anya doesn't always give the best results.

And finally the Amazoness.

They were a special case, very special. They wore little clothing and spent most of their time with each other or in some cases looking for a man to hang out with, for the latter it was only a specific group that did that kind of thing.

I learned about a group of Amazoness who are part of a specific Familia, their location was called the pleasure district and their main job was to cater to adventurers.

For a moment I thought about using that service when I'm older. In my previous life I wasn't a virgin, but in this one I have no idea and honestly at some point I will get to experience it so I have to think about how to handle things.

I looked my hand.

I have thought several times about satisfying myself, but after a while I reject the idea because my body is still young and also because there is no place where I can try that.

I will try that when I deem it appropriate or need to, I can't just do it because I want to, a woman's body is different than a man's and the satisfaction lasts longer when it is realized.

Soon I will and at that time I will understand what it is to be a woman in that aspect, I shudder just thinking about it.

After several minutes I get up from the tub and get dressed in my pub dress, I'm used to wearing a dress, not in public but progress is progress.

Coming out of the bathroom I look around me so that an idea grows in my head.

That elf I rescued next to Syr, she is definitely dangerous and I am still weak, I don't know the strength of my magic and I don't know how to use it properly either so it is not an option to consider.

I made my way to the room and crept in just to watch the elf.

I looked at her and I can say that an elf even in that state did not lose its beauty, of course when I saw her for the first time there was nothing beautiful about her.

There was more blood and that time it was raining so I didn't see anything.

She still keeps her face calm and at some point soon she will wake up and shake this place, I don't think I can hold the thought of telling her I wanted to leave her because that would upset me.

I will definitely tell her at some point about wanting to let her die, but I will also tell her that it was my hands that saved her and helped her back then.

I left the room with my usual expression of mild apathy and went downstairs to continue with the work.

I hope Syr knows what to do when the elf wakes up.
