Cherreads

Chapter 10 - First solo dive

Neze: Hmm, she's so soft...

Me: Hu Neze? That's my tail.

Neze: She is all soft...

Me: Neze, what are you doing in my bed?

Neze: I drank too much yesterday, I must have lost myself. Does that bother you?

Me: No... and you?

Neze: No, I'm good there. You... would like to do it again like yesterday?

Me: Do you like caresses as much? If you want some.

Neze: Hmm, I like your caresses.

Me: Is it going to become a habit?

Neze: Would you like to?

Me: I... yes, I would like that.

Neze smiled at me, settling back against my chest, enjoying my caresses.

[Ding. Secret quest triggered, first part accomplished: seduce your first woman. two parts left. Reward: Unlocking the domain of relationships. ]

Neze: I loved staying but the others will wait for us.

Me: Do you want to tell them that we are?

Neze: That we sleep together? They already know, believe me and then it's quite common. Alise spends the majority of these nights sleeping elsewhere than in her room. Has she never come to see you?

Me: Nop. She must not like me.

Smiling Neze: False, believe me she likes you, it's just that she can't show you.

Me: Why?

Neze: You may not realize it but you leave little time for others to discuss, you dive you come back up you train you go to sleep.

Me: I'm trying to catch up with you in stat to dive with you that's all. Come on.

Kaguya: But do you see our two little wolves coming out of the same den...

Me: Jealous?

Kaguya: Pff, as if it were possible. But you know relationships are forbidden in this famillia, Astrea-sama must ensure purity in her famillia, she is one of the four great virgin goddesses after all.

[Note: In several fanfiction I read that Astrea Artemis and Hestia formed the trio, which saw that Astrea became the symbol of the virgin, but in others it is Athena who holds the third place, so I added a place because I plan to introduce Athena at some time]

Me: Is it true Astrea-sama?

Astrea: Not at all, I do not condemn romantic relationships as long as they are sincere. I am happy for both of you.

Lyra: Just avoid puppies.

Me: No problem to be there.

Neze: Calm down, we just slept together if it's enough to be a couple then Alise has her own little harem here. Right, Lion?

Ryu: I don't see what you're talking about... There's nothing between me and Alise...

Lyra: Oh really, yet she was in your room last night, I even thought I heard some noise...

Ryu: LYRA!

Alise: Come on Lion, it's not a big deal I like to see you and make you blush.

Ryu froze trapped in Alise's arms. Astrea smiles at the life of his famillia.

Astrea: Alise, don't bully her too much or you'll break it for us, even if Ryu is adorable when she blushes.

Ryu: ... Astrea-sama not you too...

Me: If you want Ryu, you can come take refuge in my arms and escape the Crimson witch.

Ryu faints at the hearing of this idea.

Kaguya: Tank! You broke her for us!

Me: Not my fault, you spend your time teasing her, I want to play too.

Lyra: Go play with your she-wolf, Ryu is too fragile for a man.

Me: Ok I understand I'll leave you, I'm going to attack the Dungeon.

Alise: Already, but we barely started breakfast.

Me: Sorry today I'm diving alone, I have to go buy a supporter's bag. But see the good side, Lyra and Neze are free to go with you. I'm going, see you later.

Bang!

Alise sad: He never stays with us...

Neze: He just wants to catch up with us, if you want to help him why don't you participate in his training?

Alise: Because he wants to fight with a real weapon, I don't want to hurt my famillia, I can't do it.

Astrea: Alise, he is growing fast, if he maintains this speed in two months he will be able to level up with good statistics.

Alise: Yes, he is going fast but not fast enough! Neze has already caught him, I also want to get closer to our champion of justice! If I delay too long, I will lose it!

Neze: I'm not jealous, you know.

Kaguya: Would you share it?

Neze: Let's be realistic, he has a growth skill, a magic and he quickly learns your fencing. Many will take an interest in him. And I want a strong, therefore numerous pack.

Kaguya: So if Alise would like to join you, would you say yes?

Neze: If any of you would like a place, I would say yes.

Lyra: What do you find in him?

Neze: I just feel good next to him, the other werewolves I know just want to lie in bed. He lets things develop. And that he is beautiful and recognized by our goddess is a plus.

Meanwhile, I went to see Cecil and Asta to order a bag of supporters and waste but to my surprise Cecil had already prepared one for me yesterday. Apparently Lyra told them yesterday when she returned that I was going to explore alone and asked them to make this bag for me. Lyra also provided me with two sepcial objects: monster lure that attracts monsters by the smell, and... grenades. Yes, grenades, it's Lyra's hobby of making and testing them. I left my equipment with Cecil and Asta to maintain, taking advantage of this weather there to buy my provisions food water potion antidote etc.

Once refueling I left for my first solo adventure in the Dungeon. At first, I hesitated about the floor I wanted to attack, return to the 7th floor for my quest with Naaza or go down to the entrance of the 10th floor. Upon arriving on the 7th floor, I decided to use the monster lure to try to recover the wings of blue butterflies. Their activation is quite easy, wet it, throw them away and wait. The water releases the smell of the appats and the monsters arrive. As a werewolf, I have a very good sense of smell and let me tell you these appats literally stink of death. They emit a smell of corrupt flesh and sulfur, horrible but effective.

After using my three appat, I only got two pairs of blue wings and one vial filled with purple moth powder. When I ran out of bait, I went down to the 8th then 9th floor of the Dungeon. The new monsters did not cause me a major problem. The only difficulty is to fight with my backpack or abandon it to eliminate a group without damaging it. The lack of support is then really felt, no longer having anyone to warn me of the monsters that appeared behind me, to extract the magic stones etc. All this made me waste a lot of time. Because of that, I only arrived at the entrance to the 10th floor at the end of the day. Out of curiosity, I descended the stairs, there I discovered an enormous room saturated with a whiteish mist and leafless trees. From the top of the stairs, I could observe masses moving in the fog. The orcs first monsters said to be large, slow but resistant and possessing great strength, they are my next opponents in the Dungeon.

[Ding. You have reached the 10th floor, Reward available.]

[Ding. New exploration quest: Reach the 18th floor entrance. Reward: Posibility of additional addition of a development ability related to magic during the level up.

Phew. That's reward. Having two possible development abilities is strong. Would it allow me to obtain abnormal resistance and another ability without losing a level.
