Vacation: 2

"To think, at your age, you found two completely uninhabited and undiscovered islands..." Angie said as her eyes were drawn to the abundant nature.

"W-what's that." Livia on the other hand was taken aback by the giant structure protruding from the center.

The hidden dungeon, I have missed the place so damn much, I wonder how Livie is.

"It's a dungeon," I said plainly.

"THAT'S A DUNGEON?!" I'd never seen Angie so shocked before, it was amusing.

"That doesn't make any sense, that large?!"

"Um, and aren't dungeons usually underground?" Livia added.

"Well, it's different I guess. Ah, please don't ask to go in, it is incredibly dangerous." I did wonder if dungeon was the right term for this place. I mean it wasn't underground.

"But you go in?!" Livia shook me. Yeah, probably shouldn't have said that.

"Well… I'm strong." I answered simply though I doubt it helped much.

"Ugh…" The groan from Livia was filled with reluctance yet acceptance. That was surprising I was expecting her to be more defiant.

"I see, I'm guessing this is the source of your strength?" Angie concluded.

"I guess you could say that," I confirmed. She wasn't wrong, but it was more so who was in it that gave me my strength.

"Well, the only reason I brought you here was to give you guys some clarity on where I will go a lot of the time."

Angie seemed to accept that easier than Livia, as the latter turned to me with a contemplating look.

"Aren't you strong enough, do you need to risk yourself."

Before I could respond to that Angie spoke up first. "Don't bother. By now you should understand what type of person Noir is. He's an adventurer and a dungeon conquerer. For someone whose political state comes from his strength, there is no such thing as too strong."

She sounded confident when saying that. Well, she isn't exactly wrong. It would leave a bad taste in my mouth if I just left the dungeon unconquered. Even more so if I didn't free Livie.

"Do you know someone like that?" I questioned Angie.

"The exploits of the founders of this Kingdom are well documented. They were much the same as you, and as someone with much respect for them, I've studied them quite a bit."

Well I guess that does make sense, this Kingdom was founded on adventuring.

"I see…" Livia responded.

To change the subject I began a tour of the island. There wasn't much but the various species of wildlife were cool to look at. We even stumbled upon my old makeshift campsite.

We went back through the circle a few hours later. The girls were tired from walking and so they went to the hot spring for a bath.

I on the other hand adjusted the magic circle back to how it was before, then went to take a quick shower.

…

The food was prepared by one of the helpers and served right from the oven as soon as everyone was done cleaning themselves.

It was more food that I had loved in my old life, brought back through Luxion.

This time, classic spaghetti with meatballs. Pasta wasn't uncommon in this world, but not the kind with capellini.

There was no real elegant way of eating it from my knowledge but Angie seemed to prove me wrong. She actually brought out a knife to cut the pasta shorter.

I was a lot happier with Livia who ate it the proper way, though she seemed a bit embarrassed by it.

…

It was sad how little entertainment existed in this world. These poor girls derived fun from the very littlest of things.

That would change now though.

I brought them to my personal arcade. A place filled with around a hundred different machine games.

The best description I could give of them was 1700s people trying to navigate a smartphone.

In the end, we ended up playing the more easy to understand games. A personal favorite was air hockey, a game I remained undefeated at.

Even when the girls teamed up against me they still faced defeat.

Another one I found they liked a lot was pool, or rather pocket billiards.

Their form was terrible and they kept scratching the fabric but eventually, they had gotten the hang of it.

…

I sat a ways off listening to the *clack* of balls hitting each other followed by sounds of triumph or dismay from the girls.

They were having fun which in the end was the goal. They didn't get bored at all, I guess a necessity when you have very little to entertain you.

Time flew by as they played their hearts out. Eventually, though we called it a night.

"This place really is amazing," Angie said right as we were leaving the arcade.

I could tell she wasn't just talking about the arcade but the entire mansion.

"Thanks, I tried." I joked though a smile came to my lips.

"Yeah. I had a lot of fun." Livia who was showing signs of exhaustion nodded.

We walked back to our respective rooms, both girls clearly exhausted.

As for me, I wasn't sleeping anytime soon. As soon as I got back to my room I changed into my adventuring clothes.

…

'You're back.' A familiar voice resounded in my head as soon as I stepped into the dungeon.

The blue-haired beauty I had grown to know remained poised in the same position I had seen her last.

'I am, have you been lonely.' I questioned as I sat down on the ground.

'Well you do visit rather inconsistently.' She responded before my head fell into silence, she awaited my retelling of all that's happened recently.

And so, to cure her boredom, I told her of everything that has happened since the last time I had been here.

…

'Haha! I bet you're rolling in lust-generated LP you playboy.' Livie laughed in my head.

'You're not wrong.' I responded mentally, that steamy session with Livia resulted in the biggest single-moment increase in LP by far.

'You have grown quite strong Noir.' She said praisingly.

'Of course. Just look at me.' I flexed my arms showing off my amazing physique.

'Well yes, that too. But I meant overall. I would've loved to have you as my adventuring buddy back in the day.' She seemed to reminisce on the past.

'You still can y'know.' I said, I know she knew what I meant.

'Ugh, didn't you come here for the dungeon? Go on.' I don't know why it annoyed her so much whenever I even insinuated the option of freeing her.

Regardless I waved my hand as I exited the room, walking up the staircase and going to my desired floor.

…

The 50th floor. Where I had left off since I was last here. This time around it took the shape of a giant forest.

Ogres, giant insects, seducing humanoid creatures.

It was packed full of strong monsters. I was in a bit of a rush, and so I worked my way through the floor as fast as possible.

I ended up burning down almost the entire forest just to make sure I killed all the insects.

…

[183,415 LP]

That was nearly 100,000 LP greater than I had a few days ago when I spent the LP for the breathing LP regenerator.

It proved my method of continuously buying more LP regenerators was the right option.

My risk of actually dying from reaching 0 LP was at this point 0. I breathe twice and boom, I gain 1 LP.

…

Before I returned back to my island I talked to Livie a bit more.

I told her I'd be back every day for the next month or so and I could tell she was pretty excited about it.

…

Going back through the teleportation circle, I arrived back in my closet.

I didn't need a smell test to know that I needed a shower and so I grabbed a pair of boxers and a towel before leaving the closet.

Looking over to my bed I noticed the lump that clearly protruded from the sheets. Livia was probably waiting for me.

That realization put a smile on my face, and to lessen the time I'd spend not hugging her I hurried to the shower.

In the end, I ditched the underwear and went straight into my bed after drying off. Of course, Livia was much the same completely naked.

I was very quiet when I got on, but it seemed Livia was alerted nonetheless as she turned around to face me and her blue orbs pierced the darkness.

"You're back finally." She said as she hugged me, her bare chest pushing against mine.

"You're so cute," I responded with that before I held her face and brought my lips closer.

It was a soft and sensual kiss containing none of the heat it did during our lust outbreak before.

"Good night, Livia," I said before I gave her one final peck and hugged her tight.

I couldn't miss the happy smile she wore as she slowly drifted off to sleep.
