Older woman is the best

Everyone gathered together, sitting in circles around the campfire.

It might be deliberate or a coincidence. Tsukasa sat next to Riveria naturally, causing her to blush unnaturally.

However, Riveria was good at maintaining her expression, so she quickly calmed down after a while.

On his other side, it was Tiona since, without a doubt, she was the most powerful girl who targeted him.

As for the other girls, they could only bitterly look at Tiona in jealousy.

As for Riveria, it was impossible to say anything, considering her prestige and her status as one of the Level 6 adventurers and royalty.

On the other hand, Ais kept glancing to his side from time to time.

Tsukasa didn't care much about what everyone was thinking and ate the stew silently while listening to Finn's words.

There were two main points Finn wanted to say to the expedition group.

The first thing was about the purpose of this expedition.

Their purpose was to reach the unachievable floor, the floor of the dungeon that had never been stepped on by anyone.

The second thing was about the "adventurer's request."

The "adventurer's request" refers to the quest given to the adventurer. After the adventurer completes the quest, they will receive compensation from the requester. These requesters vary from one businessman, guild, or even another adventurer.

They received a request from the "Dian Cecht Familia" to collect spring water from the 51st Floor, "Cadmus Spring."

Before they focused on their first goal, Finn decided to finish the second goal first since the amount of water they could get was limited.

Also, in order to finish this goal as efficiently as possible, Finn decided to make a small team of two.

The first team was Ais, Tiona, Tione, and Tiona, and the second team was Finn, Gareth, Bete, and...

"Tsukasa, do you want to go?" Finn asked.

Everyone was surprised, but they didn't feel that much surprised since Tsukasa was one of the Level 4 adventurers in the Loki Familia now. They had also seen how powerful he was, especially when he mowed down the monsters on the 49th Floor. He was good at searching for the best route on each floor of the dungeon. In addition, he had a danger detection ability, which made him a perfect teammate.

Frankly, Tsukasa was the strongest under the executives, and those Level 4 adventures on the Loki Familia didn't think they could defeat him.

Lastly, Tsukasa was a doctor.

Even if Finn believed they would be alright, in case something happened, when Tsukasa was there, he could do something.

After all, his ability to reattach limbs was clear to all, and it was something amazing.

They also knew how eager Tsukasa was to become stronger, so they thought he would agree.

Tiona also felt that Tsukasa would accept Finn's request and think about changing the team since she wanted to stay with Tsukasa.

Frankly, normal people would feel jealous.

However, the Loki Familia was different since they had always prioritized their Familia, and if their Familia became stronger, they were happy about it and proud of it.

However...

"Sorry, I am quite tired from the unfamiliar terrain." Tsukasa refused and said, "I'll stay." He glanced at Riveria secretly.

Riveria saw this, but she didn't say anything and just hummed.

"How about Raul?" Tsukasa asked.

"Eh? Me?" Raul Nord was dumbfounded, and he was scared. Even his snot almost spilled out from his nose.

Raul might seem unreliable, and many people might be stronger than him. However, he was the most reliable and steady among everyone in Level 4 if they had to exclude Tsukasa.

Finn was quite surprised, but he nodded. "Okay, Raul, come with us."

"Eh?!"

Tsukasa didn't care about Raul's reaction and thought to practice his swordsmanship when the main members of the Loki Familia left to take the spring water. Still, that wasn't the real reason why he refused Finn. The real reason was that Riveria also decided to stay, considering she still needed to recover after her last magic.

Riveria's magic was so powerful that hundreds of meters of the area were affected by it. However, its consumption was also massive, and it was impossible to say she wasn't affected by it.

The group was decided, and the group went out to take the spring water after they had rested enough.

While the adventurer had extraordinary stamina and even stayed awake for several days without being affected by it, the pressure was given and the hard work to reach the 50th Floor was without a doubt taxing.

When the two groups left, Tsukasa walked out to the edge of the Floor, watching the surrounding scenery curiously. Frankly, this place reminded him of the place where he lived in his childhood time, and it made him miss his home somehow.

"Tsukasa, what are you doing here?"

Tsukasa turned and saw Riveria was there. He didn't say much and patted his side so she would sit down.

Riveria showed a helpless smile and sat next to him.

"What's wrong?" Tsukasa asked. "Want to kiss again?"

Riveria hit his arm and said, "Your wish!" Even if she wanted to kiss him, as an elf, it was impossible for her to admit it since it was so shameless!

Still, Riveria had something to say to him.

"By the way, what do you think of Ais?" Riveria asked.

"Ais?" Tsukasa felt strange and asked, "Why do you ask her now?"

"I just want to ask, so what do you think?" Riveria said without changing her face.

"......" Tsukasa was speechless and said, "I am not sure where this comes from."

The two kept staring at each other for a while before Riveria said, "Take care of her for now."

"............"

"What about you?" Tsukasa asked with a frown.

"It's okay. I am older than you, after all. You shouldn't think seriously about what we did before. I-I might be sexually frustrated, so I did that to you, so you should focus on Ais more..." Riveria blushed slightly and said those words with a lonely tone. She should give him to Ais, especially when Ais was someone she had taken care of since childhood. She had even thought of Ais as her daughter, but somehow she felt reluctant, and part of her just wanted to make him alone for her.

'You're a virgin, for goddess' sake!' Tsukasa was speechless.

Tsukasa then pulled Riveria into his embrace, causing her to be startled and blush.

"Le-Let go of me!" Riveria wanted to push him away, but she felt her power was drained from her body. Her body felt hot and weak.

"No." Tsukasa hugged Riveria tighter.

In the end, Riveria gave up her struggle and just stayed in his embrace. Her eyes were wet, and she asked, "Why? Can you just search for other girls? You should search for someone around your age." She just didn't understand how she felt like this with someone who was so much younger than her. After all, it wouldn't be weird to call him her child, considering her age.

Tsukasa thought for a moment and made up his mind.

Riveria didn't understand what was happening, but her lips were kissed by him. She wanted to push him, but she couldn't and she knew she didn't want to, so hugged him tightly, being truthful to herself.

Even if their age difference was huge, and he might be mistaken as her child, she knew at that moment that she had already fallen for him.
