Reunion

I see, so thats the hermaphrodite girl (?) Setsunas goal?

[In other words, you were mixed with things through [Super Alchemy] as well?]

Something like that Grandmas the only person that can restore me.

[That so? I dont really know the details, but do your best yeah?]

Un, thanks. Ill bring you something next time.

[If you do, please bring me some information about the Godly Beddings.]

Godly Beddings un, alright.

With that, our talks came to a close.

Setsuna returned to the small room and pressed down on the interrupt button to leave.

Then the next day came. Setsuna and Nayuta dove into the dungeon.

Although they appeared to have shifts as waitresses today, it looks like Meat took their place. I know their circumstances and readily gave my permission butwell, alright. Lets just enjoy Leonas reaction.

I feel like I should go lay down in my bed in anticipation for whats coming. Rather, I want to lay down.

Dont take my lines well, I get what you mean.

Ill quickly lay down if Leona does something!

It was too troublesome to bring her to her bed, so she decided to head back if she felt anything unusual.

While we were talking about stuff like that, Setsuna and Nayuta had easily arrived in the Meadow Area that had the Succubi in it. It could be called obvious since Id had Golems guide them there but still, they didnt think that Id deceived them at all? I wasnt deceiving them though.

So now, lets see what happens.

*

They were told about it beforehand, but there really werent any dungeon traps or monsters getting in their way.

Rather, a Golem even guided them so that theyd easily pass right through the labyrinth and not encounter any other adventurers.

They made their way down the Staircase Areasomething that theyd heard was chock-full of trapswithout anything really happening and went through the Warehouse Areaa place that theyd heard only the Hero had been able to investigatelike it was a stroll in the park with the Golems guidance.

Once theyd been guided to the staircase that was the boundary to the area, the Golem guide left waving.

We really were welcomed in huh. Are we sure this isnt a trap?

I feel that we can trust Euma-san.

I havent met him myself, but un, he doesnt seem ordinary. If Onee-chan says hes trustworthy, Ill trust him too. So shes right after this?

Seems like it Shall we go in with some caution and see how it goes?

When they went down the stairs, they saw a meadow. There was even a sky even though its inside a dungeon.

There were occasionally rooms and floors within dungeons that had environmental changes like this. This wasnt their first time seeing something like this, so neither of them were too surprised and were able to calm down and continue looking around.

They were told that there was a rectangular building there with a woman named Leona living in it.

She hadnt heard the details, but Euma had told her that he couldnt guarantee her safety in the floor that Leona lived in. In other words, she was someone not under the dungeons controlperhaps Leona was a traveler like them, or maybe a pet? That was what they originally assumed.

Still though, this really is a community.

Id heard talks about there being a village in the dungeon but its like this?

There was a building surrounded by a fence made out of waist-high wooden planks. There was even a small gate with a brand-new wooden sign that said: [Our Passionate Welcome! Succubus Village].

Succubus Village Succubus, huh Looks like Grandmas here.

Succubi are troublesome as enemies. They said welcome so how about we ask them?

Lets try it. Umm hello~, is anyone there~?

When Setsuna said that at the gate, several of the small houses doors opened.

A person walked out. She had a rather seductive appearance and wore what would better be described as strings than as clothes.

Hello~, are you adventurers? Oh, girls?

Succubi? This really is a Succubus Village then

Yeah Umm, what should we do? We didnt expect that our first guests would be girls.

Ah, right. Is someone named Leona here? We came to see them.

When Setsuna said that, the Succubus put herself on guard.

Leona-samas pursuers!? Girls, get out here, quick!

Eh, pursuers!? Where!? Hey, bring the spears!

We wont let you take Leona-sama!

Various Succubi popped up and approached.

W-wait! I, umm, please let us talk!

To Leona-sama?

Yeah! Well, thats if shes the [Leona] that Im thinking of

At that moment, a woman wearing an ordinary outfit came out of the room that was the farthest away from them.

Her face was exactly the one that Setsuna and Nayuta remembered, the red-eyed, black-haired Leona.

Ah! Youre here!

Grandma! Is it really you!?

Oh, if it isnt Setsuna? Nayuta too? Doing well~?

Setsuna and Nayuta assumed their battle stances on reflex. Although this caused the Succubi to once again be wary of them, Leona simply waved her hand. She was the only person left looking carefree, looking like she was just meeting her relatives after a few months.

Umm, Leona-sama. Should we not attack them, then?

Yeah, Suira, dont make this get violent. These are my cute granddaughters after all.

Huh? Leona-sama, werent you seventeen? How do you have such grown children?

Yeah, I have grandchildren at seventeen years old.

Setsuna and Nayuta both looked at Leona with reproachful eyes. Leona simply smiled back at them.

She appeared to not accept their visual complaints.

Grandma? Would I lose if I tsukkomid here?

Isnt it alright as-is, Nayuta? So, whyd you come to meet me? But dont use Grandma, call me something with some more love in it okay? Why not trying saying it? Repeat after me~, Leonan [1]

Setting that aside, I want my body restored.

Oh?

Hearing Setsunas request, Leona tilted her head.

But arent you cuter this way? Besides, it was a Power Up~? Youre supreme in power and cuteness now~, fufufu.

You!

Oh my, dont get angry, now. Dont ruin your cute little facewait, its not so bad, is it? Youre even cute when youre angry, Setsuna. Let Grandma give you some allowance.

Regarding Setsuna, who had tried to hit her, Leona simply dropped a silver coin down into her cleavage from behind.

Although she definitely hadnt taken her eyes off of her, she vanished instantly and had appeared behind her.

Hyah! W-when did you!?

Its alright, Setsuna, youd be able to surpass even me if you keep on training you know? After around three hundred years.

Three hundred years my lifespan would run out first.

Oh? Setsuna, dont you know that you dont have a lifespan anymore since I made you immortal? Congratulations Setsuna, youll be able to train forever!

Setsuna had launched a backhand strike towards Leona as shed turned around. But her fist was easily deflected. Completely getting out of range of Setsuna, this time Leona gently patted Nayutas cheek from right in front of her.

Do you also want to be made immortal if I get the materials, Nayuta?

Ill decline! Who would want the ridiculous downsides forced on them!?

Eternal youth is a womans dream though? Its easily enough to take on some pain and hardship for. Besides, isnt not like the side effects are even really that bad now are they? By the way, Nayuta. Youre travelling alone with Setsuna? Are you two sharing a room?

Were sisters, so obviously! W-we havent done anything strange!

She was swinging her knife around and blushing, but Nayuta was meant to be a rear guard in the first place, she was much less suited to combat than Setsuna. Even Setsunas quick fist hadnt been able to land, so it wasnt like Nayutas attack would ever land.

Isnt it alright!? Restore Onee-chan!

Mmm, sorry, but no can do

Leona spoke with an innocent smile.

I mean, that doesnt sound fun at all.

Although Setsuna took a short run to punch her, her fist was blocked nonchalantly.

Even after receiving Setsunas full-powered punch, Leonas palm didnt so much as quiver.

Repeat after me is spoken in English.
