Chapter 134: Irregular
(Morax: POV)
Sitting around the campfire the guys and I started making preparations for dinner.
"Rarghh!!"
Only to stop what we were doing when we heard a defining roar nearby.
"That came from the direction of the lake where the girls are." Rogue said.
"Let's move!" I shouted.
We then grabbed our weapons and rushed straight to where Ryuu and the others were.
-----------------------------------
Bursting out of the trees near the lake we came upon a sight.
The girls engaged in combat with a monster, that has tentacles sprouting from its body.

One of which firmly has Haruhime in its grasp.
"Isn't that a Dungeon Worm?" William asked.
"Yeah, it it looks like its become an irregular." I spoke.
Right afer I did so the irregular dungeon worm suddenly sprouted even more tentacles from its body, one of which managed to wrap around Ryuu's waist and pull her towards it.
The moment I saw this I bounded forward and sliced the tentacle holding Ryuu, catching her in my arms and jumped back from the disgusting monster after I did so.
Since I watched enough tentacle hentai in my last life to know allowing Ryuu any closer to this thing in front of me is dangerous.
"Fucker. How dare you attack my fariy elf." I muttered. "As well as the rest of my familia." I added.
Just as I did so Rogue and the others moved in to try and free Haruhime, but the irregular lashed out at them with its tentacles and prevented her rescue.
It then started moving back.
"It's trying to retreat, surround it!" I ordered.
When I did so the others moved out and encircled the creature.
As they did so Ryuu touched my face with her hands.
When she did so I looked down at her and saw she was a bit pale.
"Ryuu, what's the matter?" I asked her.
"My mind. That thing, absorbed it." She said.
"I see." I said. "Be careful guys. It seems this things tentacles can absorb mind directly." I spoke.
This irregular is a mages worst nightmare.
Hearing my words Echidna moved back, as did Ryner.
As they did so the iregular moved Haruhime over its mouth and opened it up.
"Agh!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs as the monster began rapidly lowering her toward its open mouth, her struggling against the tentacle restraining her useless.
"Hey." I said, standing to my feet. "Who the fuck do you think you are trying to eat one of my familia members?!" I shouted at the monster.
I then launched myself forward and closed the distance.
Once I did so I jumped into the air and cut the tentacle holding Haruhime, catching her in my free arm after I did so.
The moment this happened several tentacles started converging towards me, intending to skewer me.
But before that could happen I saw red and black flames.
Courtesy of Diluc and Leonmithcelli respectively.
After they cast their enhancement magics they used their flame-coated weapons to quickly slice the monsters tentacles.
Which caused it to cry out in pain.
But I cared not.
I simply landed on the ground and dashed back from it, Haruhime in my arms as I did so.
"Captain." Haruhime said.
"It's fine. You are okay now. Just give me one moment." I said. "Everyone move back."
I'm going to handle this fucker in one shot.
Hearing my words the others moved back a safe distance.
Once they did I chanted.
[I will have order!}
[Planet Befall]
As I summoned the meteor it slammed into the irregular dungeon worm, killing it in an instant.
Thus ending the tentacle monster before it could even truly get started.
-----------------------------------
(3rd Person: POV)
After Morax used his spell to destroy the irregular monster the Athena familia did a quick search of the area.
To make sure the monster was truly destroyed, and that there were no others like it nearby.
Once they were sure of both things they returned to camp.
Where they gave Ryuu and Haruhime magic potions to help them recover their mind.
As soon as this was finished the boys went to bathe, while the girls made dinner.
Eventually night settled in and the familia started resting.
Well most of them.
Haruhime laid awake in the tent she shared with Ariane, the events from earlier playing over and over in her head.
Specifically when Morax saved her from the tentacle monster just as she was about to be eaten.
'The captain. He was so cool, and brave. Like a hero.' Haruhime thought.
Getting a small blush on her cheeks as she did so.
She then started twisting and turning in her sleeping bag. Thinking more about Morax as she did so.
Until eventually she stopped, since nature called.
Exiting her tent Haruhime went to relieve herself.
Then once she was done she started heading back to her tent, only for her ears to pick up sounds in the distance.
Voices in fact.
Ones familiar to her.
Morax and Ryuu.
Getting a bit curious Haruhime headed in the direction she heard her friends voices.
Arriving at the lake from earlier.
But the moment she did so she went red in the face.
Because Haruhime just happened to stumble upon Morax and Ryuu having sex in the lake.
"Yes, ngh, harder Morax. Harder." Ryuu moaned as she rode Morax.
"Understood." Morax replied.
He then started thrusting harder into Ryuu, and leaned in to leave love bites all over her breasts and stomach.
In places where people couldn't see them.
The two of them hadn't had sex in a few weeks and had reached their limit. So they snuck off to have some sexy time together.
Seeing this Haruhime was filled with both shame and utter embarrassment.
Eventually she ran off and made it back to the camp.
She then went inside of her tent and slinked into her sleeping bag, her hands covering her face after she did so.
"Hah! The captain and Ryuu were...Ku!" Haruhime said. Steam exiting the top of her head as what she just saw flashed through her mind.
Needless to say Haruhime didn't get any sleep at all that night.
But she did start developing feelings for Morax, even if she herself didn't realize it yet.
