S-Class Dungeon's Mistress

Chapter 32

 

 

One of them stared at her with a blank expression on his face, unable to find a word to answer, while the other drew a line on his forehead and gritted his teeth.

 

Adelaide, who spoke mindlessly, only moved her fork with a careful hand to welcome her new pancakes.

 

The moment she carefully put the pancake in with her mouth wide open. A new event occurred.

 

The event that Adelaide was very much looking forward to.

 

Why hey-!!

 

[Warning. An adventurer has invaded. Warning.]

 

But she didn’t want it to happen at this moment.

 

Suddenly, a large blueberry fell off the fork and rolled over the plate. As a result, the pink eyes repeatedly trembled.

 

A pancake sprinkled with maple syrup and a red warning light that flashed non-stop.

 

Her fast-moving pupils revealed her conflict.

 

Can I at least take one bite?
No, the first adventurer came.
Still, just one bite?
No, I have to protect my dignity as a dungeon master..
Her thoughts rushed through her mind faster than ever. As a good dungeon master, her head insisted that they had to go out quickly. But her chest was telling it to shut up and told her to put the pancake in her mouth.

 

Her head’s argument pretended to be quite logical, but Adelaide did not succumb to the temptation. She was, of course, a wonderful woman, and she had to do what her heart told her.

 

She grabbed the fork with a grim expression.

 

“What are you doing? Sitting still.”

 

But the damn devil interrupted her again this time. Caladium picked up her plate with a twisted expression as if to help Adelaide’s decision.

 

“W-wait!”

 

Adelaide hurriedly reached out her hand, but it was already too late. Her sacred pancakes slipped into his mouth, saying goodbye to her.

 

“Let’s go quickly, the bones will suffer.”

 

Caladium, who swallowed the pancake without chewing, said with a smirk.

 

She wanted to tear off those pretty smiling lips, but Adelaide couldn’t bear it. It was because there was something troubling her.

 

‘Oh right, the Skeletons were out there!’

 

Her face, which was filled with anger, quickly turned white.

 

It wasn’t the time to worry about pancakes. No, it was too great of a pancake to just call it… Anyway, it wasn’t the time!

 

“Yes, let’s go!”

 

Adelaide jumped up from her seat and shouted.

 

She was impatient, fearing that her precious Skeletons might get hurt. Her eyes quickly became moist.

 

“They are not very strong adventurers. No need to worry.”

 

“But, as soon as possible!”

 

Adelaide took his hurried steps.

 

The dungeon was quite wide since they used the magic stone as the grade went up, so there was a long way to go. It would be a few minutes away.

 

“As soon as possible?”

 

Caladium opened his mouth with a relaxed expression.

 

In an instant, anxiety took over. His expression must be… It looked like a child’s face just before doing a prank.

 

“I’ll do as Master wishes.”

 

And the worry soon became a reality.

 

Caladium’s arms wrapped around Adelaide’s waist. And soon, her whole body became warm.

 

Adelaide opened her eyes and looked down. Where Caladium had been, he was replaced by a bird. A large bird with it’s whole body engulfed with red flames, carried her.

 

Startled, she reflexively tried to scream, but before she could even open her lips, the bird, Caladium, flew. At an unbelievable speed.

 

“We’ve arrived, Master.”

 

How many seconds have passed?

 

Adelaide looked around with a puzzled expression on her face. Suddenly, the place had changed.

 

As he had been chasing after her, Lisianthus came up to her and fixed her hair, and next to her were the surprised Skeletons.

 

“Firebird, firebird! wow…!”

 

“It’s not a firebird, it’s a phoenix.”

 

“Wow, firebird! Awesome!”

 

“It’s called a Phoenix.”

 

“Stop admiring, prepare for battle!”

 

The Skeleton Captain scolded the other Skeletons.

 

Adelaide also came to her senses at the scolding. It was strange that Caladium could turn into a firebird, but now was not the time to be amazed.

 

She saw the adventurers running. It was a group of about ten people.

 

“There are demons! Grab them!”

 

“There is no trap room, and it’s E-Class, so it’s easy!”

 

The adventurers spoke with excited faces. However, they soon saw Caladium and stopped.

 

“Hey, isn’t that a Phoenix?”

 

“How is a monster like that in a dungeon like this…”

 

“It’s probably just decoration!”

 

It must be, right? The adventurer muttered with doubtful eyes.

 

No matter how much they thought about it, there was no way that there would be a Phoenix in an E-Class dungeon. It was a pretty well-made decoration. They came to a conclusion like this.

 

And Adelaide looked at those adventurers with an ecstatic face.

 

‘Our dungeon’s first adventurers!’

 

Adelaide’s eyes twinkled with anticipation.

 

Her heart pounded at the thought of how to kill them. She wanted to enjoy this for as long as possible. She wanted to do every attack she could. If they kill the adventurers so sweetly and brutally, she can even earn titles like ‘Adelaide, Overlord of Death’.

 

She was happy as she vowed this. Until the arrogant devil tried to show off again.

 

“Ph-Phoenix…!”

 

“It’s flying…!”

 

It happened in an instant.

 

Before the adventurers could finish speaking, a huge firebird flew towards them.

 

[Hero 1 is dead.]

[Hero 2 is dead.]

[Hero 3 is…]

 

The adventurers were wiped out in an instant.

 

Adelaide tried her best to deny the reality unfolding before her eyes, but the sound of the dungeon alert forced her to wake up.

 

She stared at the hordes of dead adventurers for a long time, leaving behind a flurry of death, before facing the truth that their corpses were half-transparent.

 

That the precious first battle was over in less than a minute.

 

“What do you think, Adela?”

 

Caladium, who had suddenly returned to his human form, asked with a proud expression.

 

Now you’re going to treat me like a devil. You probably think I’m cool. You regret what you did to such a man, you might even tell me that you love me or whatever.

 

This thought was peeking from the corners of his sullen lips. It was after seeing Lisianthus’ face that he realized something was wrong.

 

He was smiling, someone who shouldn’t be liking that Caladium was doing well. The smile that gracefully rose up one corner of his mouth was definitely a sneer. It was also a very satisfied smile.

 

Upon realizing this, an ear-piercing scream rang through the dungeon.

 

“Hey, you bird head!”

 

Bird head.

 

‘I swear, this was the first time I’d heard such an insulting name in hundreds of years.’

 

“Who do you think you are? My precious adventurers…!”

 

He was more flustered than angry.

 

He even used a power that he didn’t use often to show Adelaide a great performance, so why was he being scolded?

 

“You killed the first adventurers!”

 

“They’re adventurers so we’re supposed to kill them right?”

 

Caladium, who had regained his reason, logically refuted. Adelaide pounded her chest in frustration, then raised her voice again.

 

“Why did you kill them right away? They’re the first adventurers, the first adventurers! I was looking forward to it so much!”

 

“So what if they were the first adventurers who came? Were you going to give them a welcome hug? Hang a flower necklace and dance?”

 

Why not give them welcoming food? Caladium was sarcastic. It was an absurd attitude. Adelaide could only tremble, as she couldn’t find anything to say back.

 

Yes, Caladium only fulfilled his role as part of her demon family. But even though she knew that, seeing that smug appearance made her angry. To relieve her anger, she poured as many bad words as she could out of her mouth.

 

“Hey, you id*ot! Firebird! Bird head!”

 

“Who is a stupid id*ot! And it’s a Phoenix, not a firebird?”

 

“You are! You are such a dimwit!”

 

“No, it’s you! You really are the st*pid*st thing here!”

 

Another childish bickering began.

 

The Skeletons took out popcorn as if they were used to it and watched them fight. Due to the lack of a gastrointestinal tract, the popcorn dropped to the floor. Lisianthus gave up on stopping them and left to pick up tea for his Master who would have a sore throat after the fight.

 

The fight, which lasted for about 10 minutes due to the intense emotions, ended only after Adelaide’s throat was swollen.

 

The Skeleton Captain, who enjoyed watching, suggested.

 

“Okay, make up now. A hug of reconciliation.”

 

“F*ck, what hug…!”

 

Adelaide glared her eyes. It was a look that meant she was so angry that she did not even want to hug him as a reconciliation.

 

‘Why would I want that! If I touch his skin, I might be reminded of what happened yesterday!’

 

It was already too late when she remembered it. She was just imagining it, but blood was already flowing. Adelaide, not aware of this situation, looked at him who spread his arms. Even that sneaky gaze came to Caladium as a stimulus.

 

He bit his lips hard and struggled to suppress his desires. Then, he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her lightly. Being careful not to graze his lower body on her as much as possible.

 

“I’m sorry that I killed the first adventurers without asking.”

 

“I’m sorry for making fun of you, too.”

 

Pat pat. They both patted each other on the back and apologized.

 

The Skeleton Captain wiped tears from his large eye socket while saying it was a beautiful sight. Well, he didn’t really have tears, he just pretended to wipe them. If his body had been alive, he definitely would have cried at this moment.

 

Caladium lamented and gently pushed Adelaide away.

 

“Get away from me now.”

 

“We even kissed yesterday, so why…”

 

Caladium’s face suddenly turned red at Adelaide’s whisper. His dark eyebrows twitched in embarrassment.

 

‘Fuck, isn’t this really embarrassing?’

 

You’ve been pretending you don’t know anything, and now you’re suddenly mentioning yesterday. Even in front of others!

 

Her face looked sullen from embarrassment and shame, but she still had an innocent face. He couldn’t get over this woman at all. No, she was a madman. He tried to keep his footing steady even after hearing those words.

 

“Anyway, I will kill the next adventurers, okay?”

 

Adelaide said with a smile, unaware of his feelings. Caladium nodded his head, telling her to do whatever she wanted.

 

Unfortunately, Adelaide’s wish did not come true.

 

This time it wasn’t because of Caladium’s interference. He did not step forward and waited for Adelaide’s orders. He did not attack anyone.

To be precise, he couldn’t attack anyone.

 

Not a single adventurer has visited Greenville Dungeon since that day.
