75th rank. OOF. Give me stones!!!

After cleaning up the fluids, we wore the clothes. Grayfia kept fumbling with her maid dress because of me. Giving her time to dress, I sat on the branch with my legs dangling. One of Natsumi's wolves was looking straight up at me with blue eyes twinkled eerily. Its tail sweeping the floor indicated its excitement. ​​

But why?

The wolf suddenly turned and got ready to pounce at something in the thick trees.

Somebody is there?

I activated my Life Sense to get a better grasp, only to find five dots blinking on my mental map.

"Evilus?"

I jumped down the tree and approached Natsumi's wolf in stealth. The five adventurers came out of the woods, talking to each other about their boss crazy for some Siren girl.

Isn't Siren a type of mermaid infamous for luring sailors into the sea with their songs? Probably better not get any hopes up after seeing the disgusting harpies this dungeon had.

"Oi, anyone saw this wolf before?"

"Looks rare."

"Grab him for our boss?"

The mobs discussed taking Natsumi's wolf. My slave will whoop their asses, or unleash her goblin horde at them. The latter was something I refused to imagine.

They seemed like adventurers from monster tamers familia like Ganesha Familia.

I undid my stealth and rubbed the wolfie's head. It perched on the ground as the two sharp ears drooped on its head.

Headpats even worked on animals.

"W-Where did he come from?"

"How do I know?"

"I know him. He is the new guy in Astraea Familia."

"Goddess of Chastity, my cock. Slut opened her legs for this gigolo."

These guys asked for death by insulting Astraea.

"Can this kid even satisfy her and the dozen beauties he has?"

Mob D cracked his knuckles with a cruel grin. "He won't be able to if we smash his balls."

I narrowed my eyes on the gang. The last guy, who was silent until now, cowered. "B-Boys, this is the 20th floor. A level one like him can't come down here without his Familia… and he also has a stealth skill. I-I don't want any part of this. Let's return to the boss."

Wow. A mob with common sense. Unfortunately, the rest didn't look like they were about to 'spare' me.

"It's just one guy. Let's crush him and run back to our base. No one will know what happened here."

"Yeah. He will cry to his Familia about us if we let him ago."

"We are screwed if we don't kill him."

"Boss will kill us."

The rest let their emotions got the best of them.

As I thought of ways to torture them, the wolf already lost its patience and pounced on the gang. Mob A swung his sword instinctively, but the wolf stopped the sword between its canines and bit down, snapping the blade in half.

Mob E, the wise one, made a beeline for the forest. The wolf chased him down and kicked his back, stomping the wise one into the ground.

"Anyone willing to come forward and smash my balls? Come on. I'm right here."

Mob B gnashed his teeth with unadulterated rage in his eyes as if I was his archenemy. Grabbing his shortswords, he rushed at me. I slapped the shortswords and punched his face. Despite the little effort behind the fist, the force exploded his head into chunks.

I just cleaned my body…

Sighing, I beckoned Mob B, C, and D. "Come together—"

The trio turned their back and rushed into the trees.

"Wolfie, capture them and send them to Natsumi. Tell her to give them Apollo Treatment for a day straight."

*Woof!*

The wolf rushed behind them.

I cleared the blood with Water Element before shaking my head. They just had to go and insult the woman I loved.

"Asahi-sama."

"My Lord, shall we return?"

The two ignored the headless adventure slumbering at my feet. They already saw the scene from above.

"Yeah. Rini must be waiting."

—x—x—x—

(Astraea POV)

The bird's chirps rippled through the air.

Astraea got up and stretched her arms. Her body felt rejuvenated as though she had returned to her prime.

'What am I thinking? I'm still young compared to goddesses like Freya and Hestia?'

She shuddered from the cold wind and looked down. Her mouth hung open.

'Where are my clothes!'

She recalled the last thing she did before sleeping. Asahi gave her a massage, then she fell asleep.

'Did he—'

She tossed the blanket aside and examined her privates. She didn't find anything abnormal. With a relieved sigh, she slumped against the headboard.

"Nothing happened."

She blushed at the disappointment in her voice. Was she too eager for his touch? She blamed the massage for sprouting this weird, fuzzy feeling in her chest.

Her gaze fell on the white dress folded neatly on the bedside.

'He is a bit mischievous, but he won't touch a sleeping woman… I shouldn't have doubted his honor.'

Looking down again, she felt her cheeks heat up in shame.

'He saw me in my… undergarments!'

Asahi undressed her without her permission. Her mistake was becoming too cozy and falling into slumber during the massage. One for one—this set them even.

Honestly, she just didn't want to admit this event before anyone to create misunderstandings between Asahi and his lovers.

"Astraea-sama, are you awake?"

Alise's call followed up with a knock on the door.

"Yes."

Alise barged into the room. Her eyes wandered on Astraea's almost naked figure.

"Did Asahi and you did it last night?"

Astraea was about to tilt her head but the meaning of it appeared.

Sex.

The most intimate act between a man and woman. Various images of man and woman entwined on bed conjured in her mind, all of which were the results of other women's talk.

Flustered, Astraea waved her hands. "No. You misunderstood it. It was just a massage since I was too tired."

Alise heaved a sigh of relief and plopped on the bed. "I'm glad he didn't force himself on you in your sleep."

"Why would he do that? He already has so many women to take care of his sexual needs."

Alise shook her head. "Did you not notice how he is glued to you whenever he is around? He is interested in a beautiful goddess like Astraea-sama. And don't forget he joined this Familia for Astraea-sama."

"That's not—"

Astraea paused, thinking of something to refute Alise's words. However, she couldn't. She recalled the night where she went to Babel with Asahi, how he seemed happy and relieved after asking if she was seeing someone.

'He likes me…'

The corner of her lips curved up. An oddly pleasant warmth flooded her chest.

Alise's silence numbed her mind. What was she doing? Feeling giddy for being adored by Asahi without thinking of Alise, who had occupied her heart as her favorite child. She wiped every trace of joy from her face and looked at Alise. The redhead was smiling at her. A genuine smile that captivated Astraea for a good moment.

Astraea chuckled awkwardly. "There is nothing like that. You are seeing too much… Asahi is all over you. Ask anyone in Familia if you don't believe me."

Alise sighed. "Astraea-sama—"

"Astraea-sama, are you still in bed?" Asahi said, knocking on the door.

Astraea decided to put aside the awkward conversation. "Please, come in."

Asahi opened the door before closing it instantly. "Astraea-sama, please wear something."

"C-Clothe—uh!" Astraea yelped as her tongue slipped under her teeth. Covering her mouth with both hands, she swung left and right with tears brimming in her eyes.

"It hurtsh!"

Alise watched her goddess with wide eyes. "I never saw Astraea-sama acting this cute… she is cuter than the perfect me."
