"Grandma still hasn't come out of the coffin," Iris said while resting her head on Lux's chest.

Lux tilted his chin down and kissed the blue-haired lady's head before wrapping his arms around her.

"Perhaps, she needs more time," Lux replied. "She forcefully broke her recovery to help me against the Ranker who bullied me. It would be best if she rested more in order to recover as much as possible."

Iris nodded and allowed Lux's warmth to wrap her in a loving embrace.

The two of them had just finished making love with each other, and both were still naked. Iris felt a bit sad because she knew that when morning came, Lux would have to return to Elysium again in order to carry out his responsibilities as a Guild Master.

Although she would miss him, she understood that this was something that the Half-Elf needed to do.

Eiko slept peacefully in the basket that they had placed on the table beside the bed.

At first, Lux and Iris only wanted to kiss and cuddle with each other. But, before they knew it, their clothes were already strewn on the floor. The two sought each other's warmth and love, and Iris had to cover her lips, not wanting to wake the baby Slime by her pleasure-filled moans that were about to escape her lips.

"When do you plan to return here to Barbatos Academy?" Iris inquired.

Lux pondered for a bit before answering Iris' question. He didn't really have any specific timeline in mind, but in order to give his fiance some peace of mind, he decided to set a schedule of when he could visit her in Barbatos Academy.

"A month from now," Lux answered after making a rough estimate inside his head. "I will first deal with the mission that Nevreal has given me. After that, I will create my Guild Headquarters. This will take a lot of time, so I won't be able to return right away."

Iris hummed as she lightly patted Lux's chest with her soft and delicate hand.

"To think that you would be able to become a Guildmaster in just a short period of time," Iris said softly. "I'm very proud of you, Lux."

Lux sighed before thanking Iris for her praise.

He, too,didn't think that he would be able to become a Guild Master of his own guild. However, his guild wasn't just an ordinary guild, but the one and only Mythical Guild in the world.

The Half-Elf then moved his hand to caress Iris' back, moving downwards as if to trace her young and beautiful body that belonged only to him.

"Since we won't be seeing each other for a month, shall we"

Lux smiled mischievously as he gave Iris' backside a light squeeze, making the blue haired lady raise her head to look at him with a face filled with injustice.

"What are you going to do if Eiko wakes up?" Iris lightly pounded Lux's chest, but deep inside, she was very tempted to say yes to her fiance's invitation.

"Then I guess you will just have to do your best to not wake her up," Lux whispered directly to her ears.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure to plug both of your lips, so Eiko won't hear a thing," added Lux, his forehead against hers.

Iris sighed in her heart before raising her head to offer her soft lips to the man she loved.

A second later, the Half-Elf pressed his lips over hers. While making sure that Iris upper lips were occupied with his own, he lifted her leg with his right hand and slipped his inside of her.

Soon, muffled sounds escaped Iris' lips. Fortunately, it was not loud enough to awaken the sleeping baby Slime.

The two continued to make love under the blanket, doing their best to enjoy their last night to the fullest, while hiding from Eiko's gaze, who was resting peacefully inside her basket.

"Well then, I'm off," Lux said while hugging Iris. "Don't miss me too much, okay?"

"I'll try not to," Iris replied with a smile. "You too, Eiko. Take care of yourself, okay?"

"Ma!"

Iris kissed the baby Slime's cheek, to which the latter returned with a big smile on her face.

"Keane is waiting for me in his room," Lux patted Iris' head like he used to do every time he left. "I promise to return as soon as I can. I'm sure that the next time you see me, Grandma is already back."

Iris nodded. "That is for the best. When that happens, we can have that picnic we have in mind."

"Sounds like a plan."

"Mmm."

After giving his fiance one last kiss, Lux reluctantly left her room and went to look for Keane, whom he had informed beforehand that they would be leaving today.

Eiko, who had finally adapted to her body after a few days of being born, was quite excited to go back to Elysium.

Although she would miss her Mama, the baby Slime wanted to become stronger than ever. In order to do that, she must go with her Papa to Elysium and get as many Beast Cores as she could. With her own strength, she would take revenge on the Ranker that killed her, while protecting one of the most important people in her life.

--------

Just like always, Lux, Eiko, and Keane, arrived at the plaza of Leaf Village.

The sun had just risen, and the faint smell of freshly baked bread could be smelled in the air.

"Pa!"

Eiko happily looked around from the top of Lux's head. This was her first time in Leaf Village after a few months.

She gazed at her statue, which was also perched on the head of Lux's statue, making her feel giddy.

Since Eiko was in a good mood, she started to sway from left to right on top of Lux's head while singing a song.

"La~ Lalala~ Lalalalala~"

The Half-Elf chuckled as he walked towards Grandma Annie's house, which he assumed to be the place where Cai was currently at.

Along the way, several Slimes poked their heads out of the houses along the way and looked at the blue Slime on top of Lux's head.

All of them were the Slimes that were born in Leaf Village, and they could vaguely feel a sense of majesty radiating from Eiko's body, who was still singing on top of Lux's head.

A moment later, the sound of singing resounded in Leaf Village as the baby Slimes, who heard Eiko's singing, started to sing as well.
