Chapter 181 - Do you want to watch? (Patreon)

I woke up, left Hestia alone in bed, and went downstairs. I met Bell and Lili sitting at the table. Jessica was serving them both breakfast.

As soon as I arrived, I noticed Bell's face was red.

'He heard it, didn't he? Does he know I was doing it with Hestia?

I sat, and Jessica also poured the coffee for me. Lili had a smile on her face as she savored her food, but Bell was staring at me. It was pretty uncomfortable being stared at by him.

I cleared my throat and then struck up a conversation. "Bell, why are you staring at me so much? Did you hear anything strange last night?" I got straight to the point, not caring about Lili and Jessica.

"No, it's nothing. I considered asking you to go to the dungeon with me today. I talked to Mikoto, and she told me about your dragon; I was curious."

"Dragon? Oh, that. I can show it to you later."

"Right, thanks." Bell sipped his tea and looked away. I gave him a mischievous smile and then stood up.

"Come on. You want to go to the dungeon, don't you? I think you want to talk, too."

As soon as he saw my smile, Bell's face turned redder, and he got up to leave with me. He grabbed a bag and followed me.

I didn't want to go to the dungeon today, but it's okay.

"About last night, how much did you hear?" I asked him.

"Everything... Who was it? Who were you doing it with?..." The blush on Bell's face disappeared. He suddenly looked a little nervous. He didn't know who those moans were from but thought it might be Hestia.

And if it were Hestia, he would probably be in shock.

It was her moans, but I didn't want to tell him that.

"It was Lili."

"Lili?" The blush on his face returned, and he breathed a sigh of relief. "But aren't you exaggerating a bit? I hardly got any sleep."

"Are you curious? Do you want to watch us do it or something?"

"WHAT?! ARE YOU CRAZY?!" Bell started shaking his hands and head. He was restless.

"I wouldn't mind. Aren't you curious?" I smiled at him, and Bell swallowed his saliva. "You want to do this with Ais, don't you? I can do it and let you watch to teach you a few things."

"No... That's too shameful... And what would Lili say if she found out about it? I'm sure she'd hate you and hate me too!"

"Don't worry, she won't find out. If you want to watch, I can let you." I quickened my steps, and Bell remained silent until we reached the dungeon. As soon as we got there, I met someone I already knew.

It was Welf. He hadn't joined the Hestia Familia yet, but he was still a close friend of Bell. I wonder if he will join the Hestia Familia in the future; I don't think that will happen.

"It's good to see you again," I told him.

"It's good to see you. Bell was telling me about your training with Mikoto. I was curious about that."

"Did you tell him to invite me?"

"No, it wasn't me. But I was also curious about the dragon Mikoto mentioned."

"Did she meet you after my training with her?"

"We met yesterday in the dungeon. She was going in alone. Man, what have you done? She's much stronger than before." Welf said. He was amazed at Mikoto's evolution.

Seeing that, I couldn't help but feel pleased.

'Should I help them out a bit too?'

Bell and Welf aren't bad characters. I like them. Helping them a little would be alright. I don't know which floor they got to, but they must not have gone as deep as Mikoto and me. Should I take them there?

Buying new weapons would be going too far, but I can take them there to fight strong monsters to evolve, just like Mikoto.

Yes, it's decided, I'll do it!

When I entered the dungeon with the two of them, I didn't show them anything immediately. I went down the floors slowly, along with them, without showing much of my skills. It was hard to control myself, though.

My Status had risen a lot more because of the night before, so controlling my strength was very difficult.

But even though I didn't show much strength, I helped them. I used the map to get us down faster to get to Rivira as soon as possible. Even with the map, it took a few hours.

Bell and Welf arrived in Rivira faster than ever before. They were shocked by my skill.

'Fortunately, we didn't meet any minotaurs or dangerous monsters on the way. I'd have to fight, and I don't want to show my true strength until we get to the more difficult floors.'

It's not as if Bell doesn't know how strong I am.

"Do you want to go to the city, or do you want to keep going down? I've brought food and water, so you don't have to worry."

"What do you think, Bell? Do you want to keep going down?"

"Well, with Luan here, I don't think it will be difficult to continue down. But before that, I'd like to see it."

"The dragon?" I said.

"That's right, the dragon. I'm very curious about it." Bell said, and Welf agreed. They were both very anxious, so I had to take my sword out of my inventory and summon the dragon.

When I summoned it, they both took steps backward, frightened. Even though it was a hatchling, the dragon's pressure was powerful.

"So, what did you think?" I made the dragon land just above my head and gave it a big smile.
