Chapter 1207: Back To The Dungeon Again!
"Ah, good morning honey." My mother smiled back at me.
"How did you sleep?" My dad asked while sipping coffee.
"Pretty fine~" I shrugged.
"Mornin~!" Aquarina said. "Where are my parents?"
"Outside dear." My mother said.
"They\'re cooking something there. They said they wanted a barbeque for today\'s lunch. They already had breakfast." My dad said.
I watched Aquarina greet my parents and then quickly run out of the house, meeting her parents there. Today the two of them were roasting more meat to eat.
After all those days of traveling and hunting, we ended getting a bunch of meat from many monsters, most of them very tasty.
Especially those Giant Salamanders from the swamps, which her parents were now roasting. They had very tender and delicious meat, an incredible blend between fish and red meat.
Also there was some of the meat of that Drake Monster we hunted as well, the one that was Tier 9 I believe. It was pretty strong too. The meat it had was delicious as well.
"Hmm, smells good already... Can\'t I skip breakfast and wait for lunch?" I wondered.
"Honey, at least drink your milk tea. Here, I also made some pastries and there\'s pizza over there. Aren\'t you almost Tier 7? You need to eat a lot. Don\'t skip meals or you\'re going to grow weaker. Strong physiques need a lot of food." My mother told me, quickly telling me to eat.
"Oh well~" I took a bite off a large pepperoni pizza slice and chewed on it, in a few seconds it was gone, and I moved to the next, and the next, and the next.
It was crazy how much food I could eat without feeling exhausted or full at all. It was as if I was becoming Glutton the stronger I became, my metabolism was sure fast.
Then I moved to drink more and more milk tea, and then the donuts my mother left and... Wait, how much am I eating?!
"I think I\'ve eaten more than I imagined..." I burped a bit. "Oops..."
"Hahaha, don\'t worry, you\'ll digest it right away." My father laughed. "This made me remember when you were a baby girl and we feed you dragon meat! You were so tiny, munching on the meat slowly."
"We made sure to cook it to make it into a soft paste, but you still ravenously tried to bite some." Laughed my mother.
"W-Well, I was hungry and curious." I sighed. "I-It tasted really good. But don\'t tell Ignatius I said that..."
"We won\'t, don\'t you worry." My dad laughed.
"So? How are the robots inside your dungeon, Sylphy?" My mother wondered as she started cleaning the dishes with a few magic spells.
"A-Ah, I haven\'t checked on them yet! But I think they\'re fine? Not like there\'s any threat where they live. The first floor has not really any threatening flying monster anyways." I shrugged. "I\'ll go pay them a visit now with Aquarina. Do you want to come?"
"Yes, I would like to check on them!" My mother said. "I also want to see the new floor your friends talked about. You said there\'s snow and caves there?"
"A-Ah, yeah!" I nodded. "W-Well, I guess you can come then, mom. Dad?"
"I\'m coming too! I want to see the little dungeon my daughter\'s growing." My father seemed oddly proud of that.
"Alright~" I shrugged.
After finishing breakfast, I learned all my friends had dispersed. Lara and Luck went to pick up herbs and hunt in the nearby forest. Zack was cultivating and learning more with uncle Arafunn and Ninhursag was watching over him.
Meanwhile, Mist and Celeste were with Nephilim and Pyuku, alongside Sphynxiette, they had all connected rather well together, and were listening to stories from the alien lady.
"Aqua! Want to come to the dungeon?"
"Oh? Sure!"
She quickly came running here while eating from large chunks of roasted, seasoned meat stabbed into a huge metal stick, this was her breakfast...
"Alright, let\'s go."
We entered the Dungeon, as I showed my parents the interior again. Both were amazed every time they entered. My mother the most, as she was capable of analyzing and seeing through many of the magical and divine constructs of the dungeon.
"Every time I enter I am completely amazed." She admitted. "I never thought my daughter would have the knack to become a Dungeon Master, such a mythical title that often only monsters or demons that served the Demon King had... Usually only the Evil God of Dungeons can grant such power. But you stole it from him through an accessory, right?"
"Yep, this one." I showed her the accessory with the embedded blue jewel.
"It is truly an incredible invention..." She nodded. "Yet it is also so simple. I feel like there\'s something else though, a secret ingredient of sorts. Was it something you added?"
"I think I just added everything I found from the remains." I said. "Maybe? Or perhaps whatever power I had was also an ingredient." I tried not to lie and just say things plainly, it seemed to convince my mother.
"I suppose so. You\'ve tested that on everyone else, but nobody can use its powers, right? So maybe the dungeon you made through that bracelet became soul bound to you, kind of like a Familiar, huh? Amazing, so Dungeons are truly living beings." My mother came out with a weird theory that was actually rather accurate.
"I never thought it that way... Unfortunately I don\'t think I can replicate the thing." I sighed.
"Sorry."
"It\'s fine." My mother smiled. "Anyways, let\'s go see those ro... bot people, was that their name?"
"Yeah, that name." Aquarina nodded. "Where\'s the teleportation thingy?"
"Over there!"
I led my parents and Aquarina through the first floor\'s beautiful grasslands and plains, until
we reached a small stone floor, with a magic circle on top.
By walking over it, we were instantly teleported into the floating island.
FLASH!
And what we found there was... More than I expected!
