Welcome Back

After the expedition, their trip to the surface was far from comfortable. It had been five days since they had arrived on the 18th Floor. During their trip, they let down their guard and encountered the poison vermis on their way. They were able to run away, but many members of the Familia were affected by the poison, so they had to stay to take care of the members who were affected.

They didn't stay in the hotel on the 18th Floor. Instead, they prepared a tent and set them up near the entrance of the 17th Floor. It wasn't that they didn't have money, but they didn't see the need to do so.

The facility of the hotel in this area was quite bad, and staying in the tent was several times better.

As for the matter of security, who would attack the Loki Familia?

If they wanted to attack the Loki Familia, then they might get a notice that their Familia would be destroyed the next day.

Anyway, as a doctor, Tsukasa had to take care of them. Still, he also sighed, wondering how they could let their guard down so much.

"Line, bring me that honey cloud."

"Yes."

Tsukasa concocted medicine for everyone and personally fed them. "How do you feel?"

"Ah, thank you, Kugayama-kun," the female member said with a blush, feeling several times better.

"That's good. You should rest more after this," Tsukasa said.

"Then, can you accompany me? I feel that I can feel better that way?"

"Hey, that's unfair!"

"Me too! I want to sleep with Tsukasa too!"

However, Line quickly interrupted them and said, "Tsukasa, we only need to give those medicines, right?"

"Yes." Tsukasa nodded. "Just let them drink the medicine, and they'll be okay after a rest."

"Then, leave it to us."

"Just go and rest."

"Yeah, leave this place to us."

After all, how could they trouble him so much?

Still, inwardly, they wouldn't let those sneaky girls succeed with their vicious plan!

"I'll accept the offer then." Tsukasa walked out of the tent and let out a sigh. He felt that he had become a nanny of the Loki Familia. Whether it was the main fighter, blacksmith, or even a doctor, he took care of all of them.

If they knew the taste of his food, then he might become a chef too.

However, Tsukasa had never touched the kitchen from the beginning to the end, and most of his foods were prepared by either Riveria, Line or Alicia.

As for Tiona and Ais, they didn't have any cooking skills.

"Tsukasa, how is everyone?" Finn asked.

"It's okay. They only need a rest for a night, and they'll become better."

"That's good." Finn sighed since he knew they didn't need to stay too long on the 18th Floor. There were many things that he had to handle, such as giving half of their hauls to the Hephaestus Familia, talking about what had happened on the 59th Floor, and many other things. He also knew that he had to give extra money to Tsukasa since he had handled many things.

Finn let out a long sigh and knew that he had to tighten his belt for a while, considering how tight the financial status of the Loki Familia was.

Tsukasa also felt that the money was troubling Loki Familia, and he knew that even though they were all-powerful, they lacked the means to get money besides hunting from the dungeon. He also wondered whether he should do some kind of business.

"Then, I'll take a bath first." Tsukasa thought it was better to think about what kind of idea while taking a bath.

"Go ahead." Finn nodded and didn't stop Tsukasa.

Tsukasa didn't summon his cube, turning it into a house since he didn't want the member of the Hephaestus Familia to know about this. After all, once this house was found by Tsukasa, she would try to attack him again.

Her obsession with creating the most powerful weapon that could even defeat God was stronger than anyone.

While Tsukasa felt her goal was amazing, it had nothing to do with him. She might be beautiful and had big boobs, but compared to Riveria, Freya, and Demeter, there was still a distance between them. However, if she attacked him, what could he do?

Tsukasa was just a simple man after all, and a beautiful woman was his weakness.

He crossed the jungle and went to a quiet lake. There was no one except for him, so he just took all of his clothes. He jumped without hesitation, causing the water to splash in all directions.

While he wanted to join the girls, he knew that Riveria was still around, so it was impossible for him to join them.

Still, there was one obvious reason why he went to quite a far lake, with such a troublesome route and a "very" quiet place.

Tsukasa closed his eyes for a moment, but suddenly he heard someone enter the water. He didn't open his eyes, but he heard a familiar voice.

"Wow, your thing is like your Drying Pole."

"...Is that a compliment?"

"Of course!" Tsubaki nodded with a smile. She was already naked, showing off her brown skin and well-endowed boobs.

"...What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid that I'll do something to you?" Tsukasa asked.

"If you want to do something to me, then why not?" Tsubaki was already aggressive and said, "I have always wanted to do this in the beginning, so don't hesitate."

"..."

Tsukasa knew that a dwarf was quite straightforward, but he didn't expect they would be so straightforward.

While Tsubaki wasn't a slut, if she had an interest in someone, she didn't hide it, and they could do it immediately.

"I won't be responsible for you." Tsukasa needed to remind Tsubaki.

"Don't worry. I won't ask for something like a marriage or anything. It's troublesome for me." Tsubaki pressed her body against his, feeling his hot, curved rod on her stomach. She also couldn't control her desire and wanted to do it with him. "I also won't tell anyone, and you're free to do whatever you want, but..."

"Don't worry, I'll help you to make a weapon, but.." Tsukasa stopped Tsubaki's lips when she was about to kiss him. "I can't do it all the time since you know I can't spend all my time with you."

"It's fair." Tsubaki nodded, but she said, "But you need to spend at least once a week with me." His ability was amazing, so she wanted him to help her with

"I can't promise, but I'll try."

"It's okay." Tsubaki was reluctant, but what could she do? Still, watching his expression, she wondered whether she was attractive to him or not since he was still quite calm. If she didn't see his hardened rod, she might think she wasn't an attractive woman.

"So, are we going to do it?" Tsubaki asked since she couldn't handle it anymore.

"Well, why not?" Tsukasa moved closer and took her lips.

Before they learned about blacksmiths, they learned how to make a baby, and Tsubaki must admit she was hooked by him. After all, it was her first time knowing so many tricks, and she could only succumb to his mercy.

---

Right after everyone had received it, they continued their journey to the surface.

Tsubaki and Tsukasa didn't show any strangeness, but they were still close to each other since he told her that he wanted to make a new weapon. She agreed, and he didn't have to pay, but he must help her.

Everyone heard it, and they couldn't say anything.

While the female members of the Loki Familia felt suspicious of Tsubaki, they knew how obsessed Tsubaki was with a weapon, so they felt it should be okay, right?

Arriving on the surface, they parted with each other, and Tsubaki hoped to join their adventurer again.

Finn only gave a thank you to Tsubaki and didn't give her a straight answer.

"Hey, is it only my imagination, but Tsubaki-san seems to be interested in Tsukasa?" Alicia asked with a frown.

Tiona's nose twitched, and she thought Tsukasa was too popular, right?

Then they returned and walked toward the Twilight Manor.

As expected, whenever they walked, many people talked over them.

However, they ignored them since the Twilight Manor was right in front of them.

"EVERYONE!! WELCOME BACK!!!"

Loki leaped toward the group of girls without hesitation, but they dodged her skilfully before she landed on Tsukasa and hugged him tightly.

"Welcome back!"

"...I am back."

"..." Everyone.

"LOKI...!!!"

Tsukasa had to admit that the Loki Familia was quite rowdy.
