I and the alraune who I scared shitless earlier were now walking down the path leading towards their very own village, which I'm assuming would be like tree houses, only better.
The trek was silent, the alraune guiding to their village clamping her mouth shut due to the terrifying experience she had with earlier. That, and she probably didn't want to get teased again by her pseudo-landlord.
I may have gone a little overboard with my teasing, but hey, I've been needing sothing to vent about after the stressful events going on in my current life.
Mostly, the missing residents, and the realization that two Dungeons were now interconnected with mine.
Sure, I gave my permission. That does not an I am not wary of the Dungeon Masters who I have just t in the past week (by Divine Realm standards) screwing behind my back if I let my guard down.
It was only a few minutes into the trek that we finally arrived at their village.
"Dungeon Master Jionni, I welco you to our humble village.." The alraune, whose na I still haven't gotten, gave a heartwarming smile as she bowed before . "It doesn't have a na yet, and Flora Rosada has yet to co up with a na. I presu she's waiting for your input before giving the village a na."
She stood straight back up, her words resonating in my ears as I rubbed my chin with my hands.
"Hm… That seems fair." I gave her a shrug as I looked around the village. It wasn't anything too mind-blowing. Just a normal village, with trees being used as the foundation for houses and buildings. 'It looks like that my previous assumption of them using the tree houses wasn't far off the mark. Also, they do indeed look better than the tree houses I had co across back on Earth.'
The alraunes going about their day in the Alraune Village (I'm naming the village that for now) noticed my presence and all at once greeted with charming and lovely smiles. They also synchronously gave a bow, indicating their complete loyalty to , their landlord.
I smiled back, recognizing their show of submission as I waved at them from my position.
'Well, at least I'm certain that these alraunes won't be betraying anyti soon. Plus, they're good laborers, since they don't consu that much resources, not that we're short of that stuff anyti soon.' I mused as the alraunes individually went back to do their jobs and businesses, or rest.
"Nice place you have here." I comnted loudly, the alraunes who heard my words puffing their chest with pride as they felt their ego being stroked.
"Well, Flora Rosada made sure that our ho would be presentable to her future husband." The alraune comnted wistfully, before she froze up in shock as she heard what she just said. Beside her, even I froze up in shock at the aning of her words. "You didn't hear that from !"
She squeaked out louder than I initially thought, her voice garnering the attention of the other alraunes who were off doing whoever knows what. Inside my mind, a hamster was busily and furiously running to get the hamster wheel it was using to turn faster to make the gears in my head turn quicker.
'Did she just say future husband…? I'm pretty sure I haven't set up a flag that would net that kind of relationship. I'm also sure this world doesn't run on harem ani logic where I get the girl the mont I et her. Catalina doesn't count. She's a friend-with-benefits, not a lover.'
As my mind continued to turn and turn to comprehend what the alraune beside just said, I heard shuffling to my left. Turning my head towards the west, I saw Rosada making her way towards , her flower half slithering on the ground as she slowly approached .
How that worked, I have no idea, but then again, this is a fantasy world, so anything can happen.
My ntal faculties once again grinded to a halt upon the realization that this woman right here, this exotic, sexy, green-skinned woman, wanted to beco her husband. For what reason, I have no idea, but this did result in getting my guard up in the presence of this flowery woman, pun definitely intended.
"Dungeon Master Jionni? What brings you here to my humble, little village?" Rosada tilted her head with a confused expression on her face. Despite her inherent beauty and sexiness, that action made it seem like she was cute instead of a natural beauty. Shaking my head off of the gutter, I steeled my exterior so she wouldn't notice anything off about my current behavior.
"Just checking on you alraunes to see if there is anything wrong." I shrugged, my indifferent mask hiding the fact I was extrely on guard against this woman. So much for loyalty. Now I have to remain guarded to make sure that she wasn't gunning for to be my lover just so she could have semi-control over my Dungeon.
Damn… My paranoia be spiking right about now.
"By the way, this girl over here," I pointed at the alraune who was visibly shaking at her slip-up, causing Rosada to narrow her eyes at the shaking alraune, "said that your village doesn't have a na yet. Want to help you with that?"
"But of course!" She quickly took her eyes off of the squirming alraune as she regarded with a loving gaze. The question is this: Is that her real feeling, or is she deliberately faking it?
Only ti will tell… That, and a ninja squad of primates. Chip better be ready for so overwork.
The both of us took a seat on a nearby bench that they built out of the trees they had chopped down and regrown in a matter of days as we brainstord so ideas for the na of the village. All the while, I noticed Rosada making so gestures toward that I was pretty sure were seduction.
My guard only rose higher, but I didn't let it show.
We conversed back and forth, my guard rising ever so slightly as her obvious advances beca even more and more obvious as we finally settled on a na.
Florein.
Florein Village. The village where peaceful, but seductive alraunes lived in harmony with the rest of the monster community living inside my Dungeon.
"Dungeon Master Jionni, I thank you for giving the chance to have you help co up with a na for my… For our village." Rosada gave a loving smile as she placed her hands on top of mine.
Outside, I smiled back. On the inside, I was scrutinizing her every move.
'This settles it. I'll have to order a team of primates to stealthily monitor this village for any sort of conniving and plans detrintal to my Dungeon.' I thought logically about this blatant attempt at seduction.
"Don't worry." I stood up and stretched, my back making popping noises. "Anyway, it's ti I took my leave. My other duties are calling."
"I see, such a sha." Rosada stood up as well, her head shaking back and forth as she looked at with regret in her eyes. "I would've loved to serve you so of our alraunes secret tea, but I know just how busy you truly are."
Looking back at her, I saw her bow before , her show of submission and loyalty seemingly fake in my eyes.
"Heh, you got that right." I chuckled. I turned my back to her and waved my hands in the air. "I'll co back, though I don't know when. Just know that this village you have here is nice, a fine addition to my growing Dungeon."
"Thank you for your praise, and I assure you, we will be waiting once more for your future arrival." Rosada smiled at , although I didn't see it due to my back facing her instead of my front.
Leaving the quaint, little village, I left with my paranoia spiking high.
'Will this happen as well in the Arachne Village?'
My thoughts continued to bring into a haze as I robotically made my way to their village, which was not that far from here.
