I look at the hole it exits where the Elf Queen Lolth’s head is showing and then I look at Joseph who has a look of disbelief on his face.
“Mom, you look awful.” (Jade)
“Shut up, the Dwarves’ drink was stronger than last time.” (Sapphire)
“I’m going to take a shower, do you want to come along?” (Jade)
“I will, I’m wet with sweat.” (Sapphire)
“I’ll go along with you, I’ll bring her too.” (érica)
“Let go of me, I want to be with the master…” (Ibuki)
“Have some offspring and cover your body, plus you drooled all over me in your sleep, so go take a shower.” (érica)
“I’m going back to sleep.” (Kira)
“I have to help my daughter with the food preparation, it’s already too late.” (Freya)
“…” (I)
While I was confused by the awkward situation of being complimented by the pervert Nolan, being stared at by my son Irius, and having a statue of disbelief of Joseph nearby, the girls are all acting normal.
Sapphire talks to her daughter without caring about this situation, at the end the girls start to come out of the cocoon with wrinkled clothes going in the direction where the Dungeon gate is open.
“Master, you forgot your clothes.” (Freya)
“Thank you…” (I)
Freya before leaving puts on some folded clothes for me before running in the direction the grills were if I remember correctly.
“What did I do during the party?” (I)
“To be honest, I’m not sure, I was very drunk, unlike most of you, I don’t have poison resistance skills, so all those drinks were too strong for me.” (Nolan)
“Hah!…” (Nolan)
“Shut up Nolan, his voice is too loud… master!” (Alice)
“…” (I)
“…” (Alice)
I asked a question that was hammering inside my head and I didn’t expect an answer as I was asking myself, but Nolan tried to answer it for me but was talking loudly without realizing it until a shoe hit his face as Alice appeared from the cocoon screaming at him while his hair was disheveled.
Alice’s face shows her anger at first, but soon she looks at me and her expression gets confused, then she looks at her clothes which were actually the clothes érica usually wears which she must have put on by mistake, her expression changes from confusion to astonishment as if he had just remembered something.
Alice goes back inside as if trying to hide, I look at the opening of the cocoon confused to know if more people are going to come out, but only the Elf Queen comes out with new clothes and walks away as if nothing happened dragging a petrified Joseph.
I didn’t react for a few seconds.
“Nolan?” (I)
“Yes Master?” (Nolan)
“Help me leave before someone else ends up emerging from this cocoon.” (I)
“No need to be embarrassed, the end and even the middle of the party had a lot of that sort of thing.” (Nolan)
“To my surprise, it wasn’t even the Lamias or Arachnes that started this, it was the Demons, I was surprised when I noticed Succubi among them.” (Nolan)
“Let me go alone.” (I)
As Nolan loses himself in his thoughts again starting a monologue, I slip into my shadow and walk away still trying to remember what had happened.
———–
One hour later.
I was drinking tea near the World Tree at a makeshift wooden table with Elf Queen Lolth and World Tree Spirit Yura.
“Thanks for the tea.” (I)
“It will help with your hangover by cleaning the impurities left by the potions you took.” (Queen Lolth)
“How many times have I drank these potions?” (I)
“I saw it a few dozen times during the feast days.” (Yura)
“…” (I)
“I admit that the party was fun, the celebrations of your people are more relaxed than in my village.” (Queen Lolth)
“I still can’t remember much.” (I)
“A pity, it was kind of fun.” (Queen Lolth)
“Did we do something?” (I)
“We did more than just something.” (Queen Lolth)
“I must thank érica for calling me later, I heard she likes to study magic, I’ll look for something for her later.” (Queen Lolth)
“…” (I)
“No need to be embarrassed, it was just a bit of fun, it had been a few decades for me and you with your trinity with nature had a very attractive Aura.” (Queen Lolth)
“How did so many people get mixed in there?” (I)
“érica called me and I went, Sapphire seems to have asked Diana if she could come along, I also remember Sapphire grabbing that young Vampire maid with her tail and pulling her inside with a smile on her face.” (Queen Lolth)
“How did Freya join in this?” (I)
“She appeared with the Gray Elf with the name of Kira if I’m not mistaken…” (Queen Lolth)
“Ma’am, we have urgent news.” (Grey Elf)
“What happened?” (Queen)
“The envoys from several Realms have just arrived, among them, two envoys from the Empire started attacking each other and one ended up dead.” (Grey Elf)
“It looks like something serious has happened.” (Queen Lolth)
“When asked about the reason for the combat and the assassination, he reported something troubling that had happened in the Black Empire.” (Grey Elf)
“It appears that Queen Melissa has been killed and a coup is underway in the Black Empire at this time.” (Grey Elf)
“…” (I)
“(If I’m not mistaken Lilian and her students were spies for the Black Empire, Lilian also said something about being the aunt of the current Queen of the Black Empire.)” (I)
Elf Queen Lolth is silent for a few seconds with a thoughtful look on her face, then she looks at me with some sort of meaning I don’t understand.
“I want to talk to this envoy within 1 hour.” (Queen Lolth)
“As you wish, my lady.” (Grey Elf)
The Gray Elf disappears in a blur, I remember this Gray Elf being one of the Elders of the Council of this village. ｎ𝚘𝚟ｌ.ｃｏ𝚖
“I wish you were here to listen to this envoy of the Black Empire if possible.” (Queen Lolth)
“I imagine you want someone else along with me, right?” (I)
“Their parentage was already known, her description made it easy to recognize her at the party, but there was no reason to speak to her before.” (Queen Lolth)
“But now it’s different.” (Queen Lolth)
“I’ll be here, let’s talk about it later.” (I)
“I was going to say the same thing.” (Queen Lolth)
