45 Returning home!

18th floor, on one of the beautiful lakes in the area, there is now a scene strong enough to drive any man crazy.

" Hehe Eris, what an incredible body you have," A elf with a lewd smile hugged Eris's hip and said.

" Elinalise, keep your hands to yourself or I'll hit you," Feeling the dishonest hands of the elf, Eris said with a stoic expression.

"Tch, I was just teasing," with an annoyed snap, Elinalise honestly withdrew her hands.

After all, knowing Eris, if she says she'll hit you, then she'll hit you.

"Hmph, anyway, here's a better body," with a snort, Elinalise directed her gaze towards the devilish body of a dark-skinned woman.

"Ghislaine, doesn't your back hurt?" Seeing the huge burden Ghislaine was carrying, Elinalise asked.

"Yes, they're very annoying, if I could, I'd get rid of them," Ghislaine, for her part, looked at her breasts with some annoyance.

For her, a warrior, the two mounds of flesh in front only serve to hinder.

"Tsk," after Ghislaine's words, a tongue click full of resentment was heard nearby.

Elinalise, who heard the sound, turned her head and looked at Roxy, who was looking at Ghislaine with resentment.

With a fox-like smile, Elinalise quickly approached Roxy and grabbed her by the hip.

"Kya!" Feeling lewd hands sliding over her body, Roxy shouted in embarrassment.

"Hehe Roxy, don't feel bad, your tender body will make men adore you," with a lewd smile, Elinalise said.

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense," with a snort, Roxy turned around, dropping Elinalise into the water.

Her body is no different from that of a little child, what kind of appeal could she have?

"You don't understand, Roxy, Kami-sama said there was a creature called a Lolicon, you have many opportunities with that kind of people," with a wise face, Elinalise imparted knowledge to Roxy.

"Lolicon?" Curiously, Roxy asked Elinalise.

"Yes, look, Lolicons are..." Elinalise explained to Roxy what a Lolicon is.

However, the more Roxy listened, the darker her face became.

"So Elinalise... are you recommending me to guys with a fondness for small bodies?" Giving Elinalise a bored look, Roxy asked.

"Or you could choose a Pallum," crossing her arms, Elinalise said it's not like you have many options either.

"Pallum..." Looking down at the ground, Roxy felt even more dejected than before.

"Uhhh..." Seeing Roxy's state, Elinalise scratched her head with some embarrassment.

It seems that she unintentionally destroyed the self-esteem of the Pallum in her family.

"By the way, Elinalise, where is Riveria-sama?" Tsubaki, who was also bathing in the lake with the group, asked.

With a regretful face, Elinalise said, " Riveria-chan never bathes with the girls of the family, don't dream of seeing her precious body..."

This is a regrettable fact for the family, indeed Riveria has never used the family's public baths.

It is well known in the family how reserved Riveria can be, she doesn't even let the women in the family see her body.

"Tsk, Damn it, probably in this life only Kami-sama has the privilege of seeing Riveria's body daily," thinking of her God who can see Riveria's body daily, Elinalise felt her teeth itch.

"Hmph, in my opinion, no one in this world is worthy of seeing Lady Riveria's body," soon the sound of a devout elf was heard in the lake.

"Tsk, Alicia, it seems you're asking for a beating," looking at the one who became Riveria's number one worshipper in the family as soon as she joined, Elinalise gave her a fierce look.

Before, she had thought Alfia was her mortal enemy, but only when she met Alicia did she realize who her true enemy was.

"Your violence will never extinguish my adoration for Lady Riveria, heretic elf!" Giving Elinalise a determined look, Alicia was not willing to back down.

"Eh? Then we'll see," without hesitation, Elinalise headed towards Alicia to show her who was the boss.

"Help!" Alicia's previous bravery immediately faded upon seeing Elinalise approaching.

"Come here where was your courage, lily elf!"

"Eris-sama help!"

...

"This is a damn robbery!"

The shout of a man echoed in the city of Rivira in the central market.

"Tch, if you don't want it, don't buy it," the vendor retorted disdainfully, grabbing his things and leaving.

"Damn it, come back here, thief!" Seeing the vendor walk away, the man clenched his teeth and planned to confront him.

"Paul, stop! Those are the prices that are set in Rivira," Rudeus, who saw his father trying to confront the man, quickly grabbed his arm.

"Damn it, Rudeus, didn't you see that guy trying to rob us right in front of our faces!? If the potion cost double, I wouldn't complain, but it's four times the original price!" Paul's face distorted as he remembered the price of the potion.

"Fine, that's why Riveria-sama warned us not to buy anything here." With a helpless sigh, Rudeus continued to hold onto his father.

"Ughh, damn it..." Gritting his teeth, Paul could only swallow his frustration.

"Let's get out of here, Rudeus. I feel like if I stay one more second, I'm going to lose it." Turning angrily, Paul just wanted to leave this place full of scammers.

Soon, they both left the city of Rivira, heading towards their family's camp.

A week had passed since the family descended from the 60th floor.

After completing their objective and recording the information, Riveria and the elite group didn't stay any longer and began to ascend.

After gathering the group from the 50th floor, they headed at a rapid pace towards the 37th floor to gather the second group.

After a long descent, they soon arrived at the 18th floor, where Riveria decided to rest for one night and set out the next morning.

Soon, both of them reached the main tent of the camp, entering cautiously as they saw their captain.

Riveria, dressed in her usual mage robe, had slightly damp hair today, indicating that she had bathed recently.

"Paul, Rude..." Greeting the father-son duo, Riveria smiled slightly.

"Riveria-sama, someone tried to rob me right in front of my face." Greeting Riveria, Paul soon began to complain.

"Robbery...? Oh, I see, I suppose you went to the city of Rivira." Riveria quickly understood what Paul meant.

"Riveria-sama, don't you think the prices in that place are outrageous?" Paul, who still hadn't gotten over how those vendors openly robbed, commented.

"They are... However, that's how Rivira operates. As the only place where you can buy items within the dungeon, the vendors take advantage of that situation." Riveria commented casually.

As the captain, she naturally understands how Rivira works, though she also thinks it's a robbery; there isn't much she can do about it.

"Sigh... " With a sigh, Paul lamented not being able to go and cut down those speculators with a sword.

"By the way, Riveria-sama, did we make good profits on this expedition?" Glancing at Riveria's inventory, Paul casually commented.

Upon hearing Paul ask about profits, Riveria put on a bright smile. "The profits were spectacular. Just with the items and magic stones from the 58th floor, we've covered the expenses of the expedition, and we still have thousands of extra stones, plus the stones from two more bosses..."

With a smile, Riveria informed them of the current inventory.

It must be said that Riveria is really satisfied with this expedition. Not only were the expenses of the expedition covered, but also significant profits were obtained.

Although her family isn't lacking in money, receiving another large sum is still pleasant.

"The money we earned here might be invested in your family's trade." Chin in hand, Riveria came up with an idea.

For quite some time, Riveria had the idea of opening her family's trade. Currently, her family has many items that could be sold, whether it's the Talhand blades, communication crystals, or other specialties from the world of Mushoku.

If all goes well, the Rozzo family will no longer have to depend on expeditions to sustain themselves.

Of course, that doesn't mean they'll stop organizing expeditions.

However, expeditions will no longer be a necessity for the family.

That's something Riveria wants for her own family; after all, she doesn't want to be like the Loki family, which is obligated to organize an expedition every two months.

In Riveria's opinion, too many expeditions will only harm the harmony of the family, so she thought it would be better and more comfortable to do them once every six months.

Jotting down these ideas, Riveria prepared to discuss them with her Kami-sama once she returned.

"By the way, Paul, do you think you'll be able to advance in the next upgrade?" Looking at Paul, Riveria asked curiously.

"Haha, most likely, Riveria-sama. I felt like I reached my limit; the only sure thing is that I can upgrade." With a happy smile, Paul said excitedly.

"Congratulations." Riveria was also quite happy to hear Paul's good news.

"And you, Rudeus?" Then turning to Rudeus, Riveria asked again.

"I have the same feeling as my father, Riveria-sama." With a smile, Rudeus told Riveria.

"That's excellent... Soon our family will have two new level 6s." With a bright smile, Riveria said with excitement.

Now, if everything goes well and Rudeus and Paul upgrade, their family will have six level 6s, which will make the power level of their family jump again.

"Congratulations to both of you, you worked hard on this expedition." Riveria sincerely congratulated them.

She saw how both of them worked hard to level up during that expedition; they always went to the front and didn't miss any battles.

"Hehe, after all, we're executives; we can't fall behind." With some embarrassment, Paul said.

"That's right!" Rudeus also nodded, now in terms of level, he has caught up to his wife; maybe now he can finally be the man in their relationship.

"Well, you can go to your tents and gather your things; we'll leave in an hour." Getting up from her desk, Riveria told her two executives.

"Hehe, Riveria-sama seems eager to return." Looking at the elf who seemed to want to descend immediately, Paul laughed.

"Let's pack everything to leave!" With a somewhat flushed face, Riveria shooed Rudeus and Paul away.

What can she say? Of course, she's eager to return.

This is the first time she's been separated from her Kami-sama for so long; she simply can't bear it anymore.

Every day her head fills with questions like:

Is Kami-Sama eating well?

Does Lilia remember the dishes my Kami-Sama likes?

Did Lilia prepare my Kami-Sama's tea early?

Did Kami-Sama find the alcohol bottles I hid?

Thinking that her poor Kami-sama might be underfed or uncomfortable (Kaylon: please, Riveria, I'm millions of years old!), all these assumptions make Riveria unable to sleep at night, and her anxiety to return grows day by day.

Of course

she'll never admit that what she really wants is a hug and a kiss.

"I wonder what Kami-sama is doing now?"

With that thought, Riveria continued organizing everything to return to her precious residence.

...

"Oh, surface, sweet surface!" Throwing herself on the ground at the entrance of the dungeon, Elinalise almost cried with joy.

If it weren't for the fact that this floor was filled with dirt, dried blood, and sweat, Elinalise would surely kiss the ground.

Behind Elinalise, all the members of the Rozzo family could be seen, joyfully emerging from the dungeon.

They all felt immense relief upon seeing the blue sky and finally feeling the real sun on their faces.

"Master, shall we go exchange the stones and materials obtained?" Sylphie, who was next to Riveria, asked.

"Forget it, let's go home; we'll do it later." Seeing the group was eager to return home, Riveria decided to postpone the exchange.

"Understood, Master." Sylphie sighed internally with relief; honestly, she just wanted to go home and rest now.

"Tsubaki, my family wishes to rest; you can come to our mansion tomorrow morning to distribute the materials." With an apologetic smile, Riveria told Tsubaki.

"Don't worry, Riveria-sama, my group is also very tired; it would be better to organize it tomorrow." With a smile, Tsubaki assured Riveria that it was no problem.

"Understood, I'll expect you tomorrow at home; please bring Hephaistos-sama to arrange a grand breakfast." Bidding farewell to Tsubaki, Riveria extended an invitation.

"Understood, Riveria-sama, we'll be there early tomorrow morning!"

After bidding farewell to Tsubaki, she headed towards her residence, along with the rest of the Hephaistos family.

With a strong voice, Riveria addressed her family, "Let's go home!"

"Ohh!"

With shouts of joy, the large group of the Rozzo family set off towards the Rozzo mansion.

...

"It's a pleasure to have you back home, Riveria-sama!" Lilia, who was the first to receive the news, welcomed Riveria with a hug.

"Thank you for your welcome, Lilia." With a smile, Riveria also hugged Lilia.

There are few people in the family who can touch Riveria so openly, and one of them is Lilia.

"By the way, where's my Kami-sama?" Riveria asked curiously, finding it strange that her God didn't greet them at the door.

With Kaylon's character, he would be the first to greet the group at the mansion's door.

Lilia's smile faltered for a moment, and then she said in a bitter tone, "Um... Kami-Sama is still sleeping, Riveria-sama."

Upon hearing Lilia's words, Riveria's smile disappeared. "If I'm not mistaken, the current time is one in the afternoon, isn't it, Lilia?"

"Um, yes, Riveria-sama, it's one in the afternoon." With a nervous smile, Lilia thought she had sealed her God's fate.

"Tell me, Lilia, since when does my Kami-sama usually wake up at this hour?" With a dangerous smile, Riveria asked.

"Well... Honestly, Kami-sama usually wakes up at 8 in the morning, then has breakfast and goes back to bed." Under the pressure of the family's captain, Lilia could only hang a rope around her God's neck.

"Wonderful..." With a dark aura around her, Riveria nodded. Indeed, if she's not at home, her Kami-sama will start to degenerate.

"I'll go have a talk with Kami-sama; Lilia, please tell the cooks to prepare a grand meal, please." Ready to go give her God a good lesson, Riveria told Lilia.

"Don't worry, Riveria-sama, as soon as I heard you had arrived, I informed the cooks; they must have started cooking a while ago."

"Thank you, Lilia, I'll be back in a while."

...

Soon Riveria arrived at her room.

Entering through the door, the first thing she saw was a dark room; the curtains tightly covered the windows of the room.

And to top it off, Riveria saw that her Kami-sama had put a black sheet over the curtains.

Putting a hand to her forehead, Riveria walked towards the curtains, then with a pull, she opened them.

With the sun streaming into the room, Riveria could finally see the state of her room.

Clothes strewn all over the floor, food on the small tables, the whole room was a mess.

"Sigh..." Sighing with exasperation, Riveria felt discomfort all over.

As an elf with a high sense of hygiene, just seeing the room so messy already gave her a headache.

Directing her gaze at the culprit, Riveria suddenly felt some of her anger dissipate.

Her God's beautiful face was peacefully resting, his torso was exposed, revealing his strong muscles.

After a long time of not seeing her God, Riveria couldn't help but blush.

Apart from her God's strong muscles, it made her legs tremble a bit.

Shaking her head to dispel her perverted thoughts, Riveria walked towards the bed.

Sitting carefully beside her God, Riveria took a moment to admire his beautiful face.

Extending her hand, Riveria caressed her God's face.

"Kami-Sama, it's time to wake up; I need an explanation..." Gently pinching Kaylon's nose, Riveria tried to wake him up.

"Kami-Sama... It's time—"

Before Riveria could call out a second time, she was suddenly caught by a pair of claws.

"Hehe, my little Riveria is home." Kaylon, who hugged Riveria tightly, said with a smile.

"Kami-Sama, I'm dirty and I smell bad!" Trying to escape from Kaylon's clutches, Riveria said.

"Stop fighting, little Riveria, you know you won't escape." With a sweet look, Kaylon hugged Riveria even tighter.

"Forget it..." Knowing that she couldn't escape from her God's claws with her little strength, Riveria obediently "surrendered."

Lying on her God's chest, Riveria enjoyed the warm moment. After a long while of hugging, Kaylon spoke.

"Congratulations on your victory, little Riveria." With a warm smile, Kaylon stroked Riveria's hair.

"How does Kami-sama know that I emerged victorious?" With an affectionate look, Riveria asked with a smile.

"Isn't it obvious? My Riveria never loses." With a proud smile, Kaylon told Riveria.

"Hehe." With a small giggle, Riveria buried her embarrassed face in her God's chest.

"Are you trying to sweet-talk me into forgiving you for all the mess you've made?" Lifting her face from her God's chest, Riveria gave Kaylon a meaningful look.

"Maybe..." Avoiding Riveria's gaze, Kaylon whispered, then with a victorious smile, Kaylon asked, "Did it work?"

"Hehe, in your dreams." With a disdainful look, Riveria naturally wouldn't let him off so easily.

"Uhh, it seems I'll suffer in the near future." Thinking of his grim future, Kaylon put on a bitter smile.

"Hmph, let's leave that for later... Now I just want to be pampered." Whispering the last part

, Riveria buried her head in her God's chest again.

Although it was a small whisper from Riveria, with his extraordinary hearing, Kaylon naturally heard it.

Hugging Riveria even tighter, Kaylon gently kissed her head. "As you wish, my captain!"

The beautiful couple spent a long time sharing the affection they had missed.

Only after Riveria managed to escape from Kaylon's arms with great effort did they both go to eat.

After a sumptuous meal, each group returned to rest in their respective rooms.

Of course, except for Riveria, who had to deal with a lustful monster until late.
