Chapter 2 : Abode of Traitors
Haji felt his whole body being wrapped by sothing warm and soft. It was a very nostalgic feeling. This is the feeling of a bed. A cushion was gently catching his head and back. The softness of feathers wrapped his body. His dozing consciousness was thrown into confusion.
(What is this? This is supposed to be the dungeon…Why is a bed…)
He was fumbling around as his consciousness was not fully awake yet. However, he couldn’t move his right hand. It was wrapped in a soft feeling that was different from the bed. His palm was also wedged into sothing warm and soft.
(What’s this?)
Haji moves his hand while he was still blank. He felt a certain elasticity between his hands and it was squishy when he touched it. Just keen on the feel sohow and it becos a habit to keep touching…
“…Ahn..”
(!?)
For so reason a seductive gasp could be heard. At that mont, the first visage of his consciousness ca back to him.
Haji noticed as he raised himself in panic, that he really was in a bed. The bed had a pure-white sheet and it felt luxurious and it even had a canopy. It seems the bed was on a stone pavent in a terrace atrium. A refreshing breeze blew by Haji’s cheeks and the canopy. His periter was surrounded by pillars and a thin curtain. Can you imagine a bed in the center of a Parthenon shrine? The whole space was filled with a warm light that he hasn’t seen in a long ti.
He was confused, just a while ago he was in a desperate struggle fighting against the Hydra in the dungeon.
(Where is this? This place…don’t tell its the afterworld…)
In this place that felt so solemn, an ominous thought crossed his mind. Haji thoughts were interrupted by an amorous voice next to him.
“…Hn…Haji…Au…”
“!?”
When Haji was confused, he turned over the sheet. While not wearing a single thread of clothing, Yue clinged onto Haji’s right hand and slept completely naked. He finally noticed that even he was naked.
“Indeed…is this the morning chirp…that’s not right!”
The confused Haji did a Tsukkomi on himself for his stupid thoughts. Yue started to wake up a little.
“Yue, wake up. Yue.”
“Hn~…”
When he tried to wake her up, she curled up and shook her head to fret. His right hands were between Yue’s thighs and it was approaching a dangerous place.
“Ku…Don’t tell this is really the afterworld…is it Heaven?”
Haji he was saying those stupid things, he tried to free his right hand, but everyti…
“…Hn…Hn…”
Yue panted seductively.
“Ku, calm down . No matter how old she is, her appearance is still of a child. Impossible for to get excited! I am absolutely not a lolicon!”
Haji tried to persuade himself of this, while his expression was on the brink of looking like a pervert. He gave up trying to free his right hand, and instead tried to wake up the cause but no luck.
Gradually, he started to get irritated. Haji could not swallow the situation and confusion, and he had a blue vein popping out on his forehead at her leisurely sleeping there.
His irritation culminated…
“That’s enough, get up! This natural erotic vampire princess!”
He invoked his “Lightning Clad”. Electric discharge started to gather in his right hand.
“!? Ababababababa”
Yue was shocked by the discharge. She released Haji’s arm and finally opened her eyes, while she twitched a little.
“…Haji?”
“Yeah. It’s Haji-san. Sleepyhead, wake up…”
“Haji!”
“!?”
She woke up and widened her eyes when she saw Haji. The next mont, she jumped towards Haji. In the nude. Haji trembled.
Yue buried her face into Haji’s scruff. and he noticed she was sniffing. He decided there was no helping it, and just stroke her head with a smile.
“My bad, seems like I worried you a lot.”
“Yeah…I was worried…”
It seems she didn’t want to stop clinging for a while. He let her do it until she was satisfied because she did take care of him. Haji continued to stroke her head gently.
When Yue cald down after a few minutes, Haji asked about what happened. By the way, he made Yue cover herself with the sheet.
“So, what happened since then? Where is this?”
“…After that…”
She said that after the battle, she felt dizzy from her magic depletion and snuggle right next to the collapsed Haji. Then the double doors in the room automatically opened. Reinforcents? Yue stayed vigilant but nothing ever ca. When she started to recover bit by bit, she decided to enter the door.
The sacred water was healing Haji little by little. Still, he was in a dangerous state with all his serious injuries. His tough body had escaped death, but she didn’t know when the sacred water would lose to the poison. Both of them would be finished if a new monster appeared. Therefore, she had to check it out.
And in the depths of the door,
“…Abode of the Traitors.”
Inside was a vast space with a good looking house in the center. Then, she confird it wasn’t dangerous. Yue confird there was a bedroom and took the unconscious Haji to it and nursed him. Recently, the God’s Crystal extract was decreasing considerably. Haji had kept drinking the sacred water.
The sacred water finally beat out the toxins, and it was able to display its usual restorative prowess. Yue beca exhausted eventually.
“…I see, you took care of . Thanks, Yue.”
“Hn!”
When Haji conveyed his words of thanks, Yue’s eyes brighten up joyfully from the bottom of her heart. She was expressionless but her eyes said all.
“By the way…why am I naked?”
He was curious. The morning chirp he wanted to break from. Haji didn’t dislike Yue…he just wanted to prepare his heart. Inwardly, he just muttered to himself.
“…You were dirty…I cleaned you…”
“…Why did you lick your lips?”
Yue had a bewitching smile, like when she sucked his blood, and licked her lips. For so reason his body shivered.
“Why was Yue sleeping next to ? Also…naked…”
“…Fufu…”
“Wait, what are you laughing at? Did you do sothing? Don’t lick your lips!”
While Haji was questioning her intensely, Yue did not answered and just stared at Haji with a voluptuous look.
Haji questioned for a while, but she had a happy expression as she remained quiet. He decided to give up on the questioning and explore the abode. Yue handed him so high-quality clothes she found. It was n’s clothing. Most likely it was the traitor’s. Haji confird his good health then dressed himself with the clothes, and prepared his equipnt. There might be so traps or tricks, so he prepared himself just in case.
When his preparation was also complete, he looked back and found Yue dressed. Yue was,
…she was in a one piece cutter shirt.
“Yue..what are you aiming for?”
“?…Size doesn’t fit.”
Oh, n’s size would surely not fit Yue’s height of only 140 cm. However, her appropriate sized breasts and pure white legs were on display. Her image was so sensational, contrary to her childish appearance, because of the way Yue held herself and acted. Haji was troubled on where to keep his eyes.
“…If its natural, then its quite frightening…”
He wasn’t sure if she was aiming for that or it just ca natural. Haji just knew she was terrifying in a variety of ways.
Leaving the bedroom, he was amazed at the sights around him.
First, sunlight had entered his eye. It wasn’t real because they were underground. There was a globe that had its cone-shaped body connected to the ceiling, and it was floating there shining. He felt slightly warm because it didn’t feel artificial like a fluorescent lights. Haji unintentionally called it “Sun”.
“…It becos like a moon when its night.”
“Seriously…”
Next, the pleasing sounds of water entered his ears. To the back of the room was a door that lead to a small sized stadium. In the back wall of this room was a waterfall. A large quantity of water ran down that wall from the ceiling and joined the river to flow into the back cave. The cool wind full of negative ions that blew from the waterfall provided a good feeling. When he took a closer look at the water, there were fish swimming there. Possible the fish flowed in from a terrestrial river.
So distance from the river, there was a big field. Nothing seems to be planted there right now…it spread throughout the surrounding. It could be an animal pen. There was no sign of animals, but there was resources here to be self sufficient. Lots of varieties of plants grew around here too.
Haji was on the opposite side of the river and field. He was encouraged to walk towards the adjacent building to the bedroom. The construction felt like processed rocked and it wasn’t for dwelling.
“…I checked around a bit, there were many rooms that didn’t open..”
“I see…Yue, don’t let your guard down.”
“Okay…”
The stone house was white and it texture was like li; All of it felt so clean. In the entrance, there was a light sphere that was at the tip of a pedestal projecting from the ceiling. Haji was dazzled with it because he had been in the dark for so long. There seed to be 3 stories, and there seed to be an atrium at the top.
First, they wanted to look at the ground floor. They discovered a fireplace, soft carpet, living area with a sofa, a kitchen, and restroom. No signs pointed to the idea that these items had been neglected for years. There was no sign of life…but it had the feeling of return ho after a trip. Haji thought it had an air that told him it hadn’t been used in a while. People did not live here, but it was still being maintained…
Haji and Yue continued their exploration with caution. When they went into the interior they were outdoors again. There was a hole in this huge place, and a sculpture of a lion was enshrined in deep water there. Next to the sculpture was a magic formation. When he poured magic into the formation, warm water jumped out of the lion’s open mouth. The lion seed to be able to arrange water from anywhere in the world.
“A bath. This is good. How many months has it been since I had a bath?”
He loosens his cheeks instinctively. The first ti around, Haji did not care about the dirt that was on his body. Since he was worried about itching, he gave in. Water was gathered using a huge magic formation he craved and he wiped his body with the water.
However, Haji was Japanese. He was no exception to the addiction for a bath. After he secured the area, he couldn’t help himself from smiling.
Watching that Haji, Yue said…
“…Enter? Together…”
“…Let take it easy alone.”
“Mu…”
Yue kicked the warm water with her barefeet. Haji refused because if they entered together he wouldn’t be able to relax. Her face showed how dissatisfied she was.
Both of them soon discovered a study room and workshop on the second floor. However, there seed to be seals that prevent the opening of the doors in those rooms. With no other choice, they continued their search.
The two headed to the third floor’s back room. There was only one room on the third floor. When they opened the door into the interior, there was a 7-8 m wide exquisite and delicate magic formation engraved on the floor in the center of the room; the design was sothing they had never seen before. A rather splendid geotrical patterned formation and it looked like art.
However, sothing else was more noteworthy. On the other side of the magic formation was a figure sitting in a regal chair. The figure was a corpse. It was already been skeletonized and there was a stunning black robe embroidered with gold on its body. There was not a single stain on it and it seed to be an object from a haunted house.
The corpse hung its head, while leaning on the chair. It had been decayed in that posture. What did this person think of in this room with only a magic formation? Why did it choose this place, instead of the bedroom or living room?
“…Suspicious…What do you want to do?”
Yue was also wondering about the corpse. This person was probably one of the traitors. No signs of suffering could be seen on the figure that rested on the chair. It seed like the figure was waiting for soone.
“Well, if we want to reach the surface, I think this room is the key. The seals in the library and studio resisted my transmutation…so we have to investigate. Yue wait here, and if anything happens I’ll leave it to you.”
“Okay…Be careful.”
Haji stepped forward towards the magic formation. The mont he stepped into the center of the magic formation, a snow-white light flashes suddenly and the room is dyed with the light.
Due to the intensity, Haji closed his eye. Sothing invaded into his head imdiately after, and he went through the ti he fell into the abyss like a revolving lantern.
The light soon settled and Haji opened his eyes; in front of his eyes…was a young man in black clothing.
