S-Class Dungeon's Mistress

Chapter 102

A large hand ran through her fine hair and then grabbed the back of her head tightly. Then, he overlapped his lips with hers.

Adelaide opened her eyes wide. The sucking sensation on her lips while the insides were being eagerly scoured was too much of a kiss. No, she didn’t say that she needed her regular consumption right now, so why all of a sudden? She furrowed her eyebrows as she quickly absorbed his energy. Although it was sudden, it would be a waste if she passed up on the energy that was right in front of her.

Before she knew it, the energy flowing from him filled every inch of her. Adelaide involuntarily let out a moan as her skin tingled.

“Hng.”

Caladium touched her leg again. His face when he said that he only stood up for her suddenly came to mind and her face heated up. She didn’t know whether he really did stand only for her, but one thing was certain, she was making him grow in size without even trying.

Adelaide tried to move her legs out of embarrassment. However, she was already being crushed so hard that she couldn’t move. Contrary to her intentions, this only provoked his desires further.

“Ugh, Adela…”

Caladium narrowed his eyes and let out a moan. His deep voice was so e*otic that it made the hair all over her body rise. Adelaide felt her body heat up as he stared at her as if he wanted to devour her. The pressure on her legs also became harder and hotter. He no longer hid it now.

‘This isn’t the time for this.’ Adelaide thought, frantically shuffling his tongue out.

She knew she had to push him away but it was way too good to do that. Beyond the pleasure coming from consuming, an unbearable exhilaration flooded her everywhere he touched her.

She was the one who saw skinship only as a necessary action for regular consumption. But recently, when she kissed him and Lisianthus, she could feel something she had never felt before. Her body felt embarrassingly sweet, and her chest was pounding to the point that it hurt. Even after she was filled with energy, her desire to simply indulge in the added pleasure continued to soar.

‘It’s because Caladium kisses so well.’ Adelaide blamed him.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to explain this overwhelming feeling.

Caladium gripped the marble countertop strongly. He didn’t mean to do it here, but Adelaide’s lips were too delicious.

‘F*ck, I have to stop…’

‘D*mn it, I can’t hold it in.’ He felt like his lower part was about to burst and he couldn’t unbutton properly. Just touching her leg felt so good, Caladium slid his hand on her waist involuntarily. An indescribable pleasure flooded him as he brushed her soft skin briefly.

“Hnh! Ca-Caladi…! Stop…!”

“Haa, you want me to stop now?”

“Next, next time. Not now…”

“I mean, the kids are coming soon.” Adelaide, who barely parted her lips, grumbled at the intense pleasure and let out a moan.

“…Yes, I’m not an exhibitionist either. But I think it would be better to be seen than to stop now…”

‘What is he saying now?’ She raised her eyes and slapped Caladium’s chest.

His muscles were so hard he didn’t seem to be the same devil.

Caladium lowered his head and let out a short sigh. He paused for a moment and then kissed her lips, and pulled away.

“Next time.” He frowned and whispered.

Adelaide nodded her head vigorously to quickly end things.

He brought Adelaide down with a regretful face. Adelaide could feel her legs tremble and stood while leaning on his shoulder. She thought of ranting at Caladium, but she bit her lip, admitting that she enjoyed herself quite a bit.

In order to finish her cooking by the time her demons came, she didn’t have time to wrestle with him.

Having barely calmed her heated body, she hurriedly prepared the meal. While Adelaide invested all her passion to complete only one menu item, Caladium’s face had a sullen look showing that he didn’t like cooking that much.

No, to be precise, it was difficult to concentrate because the guy below him was still standing halfway up.

As soon as the food was almost ready, the portal leading to the Darfur Forest hummed. Not long after, the faces she missed so much appeared one by one.

“Adela, I missed you!”

Bell ran first and jumped towards Adelaide. Adelaide hugged the boy tightly and greeted the others. In the past, she would have fallen back without being able to endure the rushing power, but her strength had grown quite a bit.

“Come, everyone! You’ve been through a lot, haven’t you?”

“What do you mean! We had a lot to eat, and the house was quite large, so it wasn’t hard at all.”

“That’s right. Adelaide must have worked hard!”

“Wow! The dungeon became even nicer! Look, the furniture is so luxurious!”

The lively voices of her demons filled Greenville Dungeon. It had been quiet for only a few days, but Adelaide was beaming at how delighted she was with all the loudness and commotion.

“Wait a minute. Caladi and I are preparing dinner. We’ll set it up for you soon!”

“Adele, I’ll do it.”

“No, Lisian also went back and forth and worked hard. Rest!”

“I’m pretty good at cooking, so don’t worry!” She exclaimed proudly.

Lisianthus gave Adelaide a vague look and nodded his head as if he was compelled to do so.

Before she turned around and headed for the living room, her eyes flashed across the kitchen, or to be exact, around the kitchen counter. Caladium tried to sneak away while her eyes were turned away, but eventually got caught and was dragged back into the kitchen.

Soon after, the dishes made by Adelaide and Caladium filled the table. Half of them looked quite appetizing, and the other half had a bizarre appearance that made them wonder if they were even edible. If they had to give it a name, they would have called it the ‘Afterlife’s Puke Risotto’.

“Eat it, quick!” Adelaide smiled brightly and suggested.

Caladium was embarrassed and averted his gaze. Seriously, there was no way that ‘The Great Devil of the Red Flame can cook well’. The demons were convinced. Not wanting to hurt his feelings, they forcefully scooped up risotto.

They were hoping that the taste would be good unlike the exterior, but such a miracle did not happen.

“Thank you for this food.”

Lisianthus spoke politely and ate the risotto. Since he considered Caladium his rival, the demons expected that as soon as he took one bite, he would criticize him saying, ‘The eggs in this risotto are so undercooked that the chicks will hatch soon.’

Surprisingly, however, Lisianthus focused on the meal without saying a word. The demons admired him as he ate the risotto with elegant movements without any change in expression.

“Wow. It tastes awful.”

But children were honest creatures. Bell’s face twisted and looked at Caladi.

“Caladi, did you make this with your feet?”

“Bell! Such bad words…!”

The Skeletons hurriedly covered Bell’s mouth and looked at Caladium. But Caladium’s face was only calm.

The answer came from a different direction.

“…I made it with my hands.”

Adelaide put her spoon down with a wounded expression. Even if she produced such a terrible result to the world, she didn’t think she would receive such an evaluation.

‘That’s why I told you I’d do it.’

Lisianthus, who had confirmed her incredible culinary skills when she helped make soup for Pia, swallowed with regret.

“What, did Adela make this? Adela, you can’t cook!” Bell giggled and said. His voice was so bright that if she didn’t listen to the words properly, she would think it was a compliment.

Adelaide stared at the boy with the saddest look as if she was looking at her own teenage child. ‘How could you say that? How hard have I raised you so far?’

She couldn’t say anything and just kept her mouth closed.

It was Lisianthus who fed Bell and Caladium who cared for him. All she had to do was give him affection, but Adelaide believed she had raised Bell anyway.

While the other demons didn’t know what to do and were bewildered by Bell’s harsh criticism, Caladium burst into laughter.

‘All right, fight!’ He prayed for a feud between Bell and Adelaide.

If Adelaide and Bell become distant during this time, the seat next to her will be his. With that, there is no need to worry about who will see them, and they will be able to carry on with their skinship until the end.

“Caladi is good at cooking! It’s surprising!”

Bell took a full bite of the meatloaf made by Caladium and smiled brightly. Just as Caladium was about to feel a slight remorse at the kid’s pure reaction, Adelaide’s head suddenly turned towards him.

A gaze full of resentment pricked his skin. Her eyes were asking if he felt good that he was the only one who was praised.

‘No, why are you blaming me?’

At the unexpected result, Caladium thought it was unfair and showed it in his expression. He was hoping that she would get upset at Bell, but the arrow turned towards him.

He didn’t even want to cook in the first place. He couldn’t decline Adelaide’s urging and was forced to do it, so he couldn’t believe she was giving him sh*t for doing well. He had no regrets.

“That’s right, Caladi. You cook really well.”

Adelaide soon realized that it was not right for her to blame him, and she laboriously used a gentle tone. It sounded more mechanical than the dungeon’s broadcast, but Adelaide didn’t actually mean for it to come out like that.

‘It’s not that I can’t cook. Caladi is just really good at it.’ She hypnotized herself like this.

“Have you ever done it anywhere else?”

At Adelaide’s question, Caladium trembled. His face hardened in an instant as he recalled.

“…Once at my old house.”

“You’ve only tried it once but you did so well? You have a knack for it, Caladi.”

“It’s not a big deal.”

Caladium answered bluntly and continued eating. His reaction wasn’t like him. If it was the usual Caladium, he would never have taken her praise lightly. He would probably show off for 5 minutes then smile like an id*ot for 10 minutes. That was the Caladium they knew.

[‘What’s wrong with him?’]

[‘I’m not sure.’]

Adelaide and Lisianthus exchanged glances. Adelaide contemplated, and then snapped her finger lightly. ‘Yes, Caladium said his house was stolen. Thinking of his old house must have gotten him depressed!’ She nodded her head, thinking that she now understood.

She must one day find the pitiful Caladium’s stolen home.

“By the way, Adelaide.”

Raham, who gently pushed ‘afterlife’s puke risotto’ to the side, carefully opened his mouth.

“Did the conversation with the legend go well?”

“Yes! You don’t have to worry now. It’s all good.”

Come to think of it, Lupinus and Raham’s tone of voice was similar. Adelaide thought so and put a meatloaf in her mouth. She also didn’t touch the risotto she made.

“That’s a relief. But then… How is the dungeon’s financial situation?”

This time, Adelaide’s face hardened. Now that she has dealt with the big issue, it was time to face reality again.

“Ugh, it’ll be fine…”

There was no certainty in her tone. She couldn’t even check her balance because the dungeon pad is broken. However, she could tell without looking at the pad that she wouldn’t have enough money left. It cost quite a lot of money to buy a safe house, repair various places in the dungeon, and buy materials needed to make new furniture.

The dungeon pad will be repaired within a few days. Adelaide wished the repair would take a while. She didn’t have the courage to see her depleted account with her own eyes.
