Chapter 86: New But Familiar Faces

A smile on my face I entered the guild.

Ariane and Ryner beside me.

We had just finished up a quest to deal with an irregular Minotaur that spawned on the 16th floor.

So now here we are coming to let the guild know we completed the job.

But that's not why I'm smiling.

No, the reason I'm so happy is because I get to see my Rose.

For the past two years we've been together.

Going up to her counter I leaned over and kissed her.

Ignoring the squeal's from her female colleagues and the burning looks of jealousy I am getting from fellow male adventurer's.

Although some of them are giving me a thumbs up while looking jealous.

Flicking my forehead after giving her a kiss Rose glared at me.

"How many times do I have to tell you, don't do that while I'm working." Rose said. Her glare only intensifying as she did so.

But I ignored it like I always do. Since I can tell that by her tail swishing back and forth Rose enjoys the kisses I give her.

She just can't be honest with herself.

It seems all the woman I am into are like that.

Ryuu, Rose, Shakti, and Riveria.

None of them ever show much emotion unless in private or in extremely dire situations.

I wonder why I like this type of women?

As I thought about this for a few seconds I suddenly noticed two people staring at me.

Turning in their direction I saw it was two girls.

Both very familiar to me.

The first is Eina Tulle.

While the second is Misha Flott.

As I looked at the both of them I realized this is the year they both started working at the guild.

Giving them a smile and a wink I waved at the two of them. "Hello there ladies."

The both of them didn't say a word to my greeting and instead both went a bit red in the face.

Not that I can blame them. My looks are nothing to sneeze at after all.

And just to be clear I am not being vain.

I have the looks of Zhongli from Genshin Impact and he is quite handsome. Not to mention I am tall. My height is 191 cm.

So yeah, I am a looker and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

Noticing her juniors get flustered Rose turned to them and leveled her glare in their direction.

When she did so both came to their senses.

"Eina, Misha, don't you two have work to do?" Rose asked them.

"Rose don't be like that. At least introduce us." I spoke. "Greeting ladies, my name is Morax Lapis." I told them. "And behind me are two of my familia members Ryner Lute and Ariane Maple."

"Hello." Ryner said.

"Nice to meet you both." Ariane spoke.

"Hello. Nice to meet you all. My name is Eina Tulle." Eina quickly said.

"Misha Flott." Misha spoke.

"Ok with that introductions are over." Rose spoke. Continuing to glare at Eina and Misha as she did so. "Now then you two, get back to work." She said.

"Yes!" The two of them said in unison.

They then practically ran off.

After they did so Rose stopped her glare.

"Rose, why so harsh to your juniors?" I asked her.

"If I'm not they'll slack off. Besides, they both expressed interest in becoming dungeon advisors and as they are now taking on that job will break them. Neither of them is cut out for it." She explained to us.

"But weren't you the same way when you started?" Ryner asked.

When he did so Rose glared at him, and he raised up his hands in defense.

"I think what you are doing is wonderful Rose. Working to prepare your new colleagues for what is to come." Ariane spoke.

"That's not what I'm doing." Rose denied. "I'm simply training them so well they won't bother to ask me about every single thing in the future. That way I can complete my own work in peace." She explained.

"Fu, it's ok to be honest once and a while you know." I said.

Only to earn Roses glare again which I promptly ignored.

Seeing that I was my usual self Rose dropped her glare and we finally got down to business.

We presented her with proof we defeated the irregular and then received our payment.

After we did so we prepared to leave the guild.

But before we did I went up to Rose and whispered.

"We still on for tonight?" I asked.

"Yes." She whispered back.

Hearing her confirmation I gave her another quick kiss and then left with the others.

My thoughts wandering towards tonight and how enjoyable it is going to be.

------------------------

A smile on my face I enjoyed the cool night air as I walked through one of Orario's many residential districts located in its Northeastern section.

Humming to myself I soon arrived at my destination.

A nice two-story house.

Roses' house to be exact.

Going up to the front door I knocked and then a moment later it was opened.

Revealing Rose in a dark-green two-strap dress that hugged her curves in all the right places.

"Beautiful as always." I said.

"Just get in here already." Rose spoke. But with a smile on her face.

I'm so happy I'm one of the few people who gets to see such a sight.

"Yes mam." I said.

I then entered Roses' house and she closed the door behind me.

Immediately after I did so I smelled the dinner Rose had prepares for us.

She loves to cook, so when we spend time together we usually eat dinner at her home.

Her food is really delicious.

"Smells good as always." I said.

I then got ready to head to the table only to be pulled back and slammed against the door by Rose.

Not that it hurt me, since I am a high-level adventurer.

But I didn't fight it either.

Since Rose and I do this sort of thing quite often.

"Before dinner I want desert." Rose said in a sultry voice.

She then lightly brushed one of her knees over my crotch and then blew in my ear.

"Ask and you shall receive." I said.

I then moved to kiss Rose.

Preparing to eat her cookies while giving her the ice pop in my pants.
