Familiar Scents..

"Izumi, Are you really saying that there's more?" Grayfia deadpaned with no nonsense wrote on her face.

She knew Izumi wouldn't take it seriously, but the situation demands it.

"Well, have I ever lied to you, my beloved Fia-chan?" Izumi still replied playful, a vien popped on Grayfia's head regardless she still nodded, and began collecting the remaining containers....then put it inside the semi storage seal...She frowned and glanced at Izumi.

Well, it was obvious what she wanted to say. The storage was pretty full.

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later, with all other things inside.

"I understand. You don't need to tell me, I will make new ones at the lowest level or 200th floor. They are different types of materials available...So, I'll making all the seals there." He stopped her before she could speak.

"Izumi-san, I have been detecting some life signs below us....well two to be exact..none of them are human." Tio spoke in an expectant tone.. hoping Izumi would praise her...But she was a late bloomer and all she got was weird gazes from both Izumi and Grayfia.

"W-why are you both looking at me like that? huh? Didn't I said that there are someone be-"

"We already know and it had been 20 minutes since we found out." Grayfia cut Tio's off and said the harsh truth.

As expected, Tio froze after hearing what Grayfia said and in addition, it made her mood very depressed... since her attempt to impressed Izumi failed miserably.

She recovered in seconds and internally said with fire burning in her eyes.

'I am not giving up! No!.... Giving up is the only leads to fail. I'll keep trying unless I succeed.'

"Hmph, I too sensed it earlier since you're busy checking that water. I decided to keep quiet." She went into Tsundere mode and lied.

This somewhat shocked Izumi as he very well knew that Tio was a pervert not a Tsundere.

'Did her personality changed because she met with me first? Is this Karma? I should do something before she went to Yandere mode...if not I'd probably have a Yuno Gasai on my back.' Izumi shivered thinking about Yuno Gasai...

Turning off his grey thoughts.. He gestured them to move forward.

________

They arrived at 150th floor and they could deduced just from looking at the scenario that a destructive battle took place with all those scratches and burnt, presented everywhere.

There was only one door attached though it was barely hanging while the other was already gone. The whole 150th level door had become a joke and some monster's part was lying and most importantly it didn't respawn that means whoever did it completely obliterated his core..Or It needs time to respwans again..must be 2 hours or more so.

Izumi, obviously chose the later.... Since he knew no matter what you do, as long this labyrinth exists all the monster would respwans to test the worth of Adventurers.

On the other hand, Tio was surprised as she smelled something that she never thought would do after all those incidents.

Yes, she smelled a vampire and a familiar one at that.

And there was only one who she was familiar with.... I'm sure you've guessed it already.

Unknowingly, her tears come down...she began to sobbed alerting Izumi and Grayfia.

Grayfia immediately began consoled her without asking the reason.

But Izumi was confused on why she cried..

"Let's take a rest here.... we've times so there is no need to rushed ahead.. Resting is important for our body." Izumi spoke in concerned tone but got a stink eye from Grayfia.

"You, of all people saying resting is important. Hmph!! Tell me master, how many times you've overworked yourself?" Grayfia sternly asked after she sat down with Tio.

Izumi looked away since he couldn't found any answer to her question.

Words are 'Never argue back with women because they can create anything from nothing...That even put Denial of Nothingness to shame..The law is called Arguemental law or Dao of Logic.'

Tio fell asleep as she was very tired, atleast mentally. Ever since she learned everything from Izumi which was still going on inside her head and it didn't help the fact when she smelled something that only belongs to one person she knows..So fatigue took over.

Izumi sighed looking at her...She was sleeping defenseless without a care that someone might attack her...Anyone in his place would have already done something to worst to her...Of course he won't do anything like that, he had his Fia-chan for that.

What he didn't know, that Tio only showed her defenseless side to him because she trust him and was sure he would not do anything perverted. Even if he did she'd gladly accept it...In her heart, she had already marked Izumi as a potential mate.

Izumi went to where Grayfia, who was checking something from the storage..

He hugged her behind, leaned his chin on her shoulder and gave a peck on her cheek.

Grayfia blushed at his affection but leaned back on his chest and put her hands on his.

"Master, when we'll leave...this labyrinth is getting darker and darker as time goes on. And you know we, women really hates place like this." She rarely questioned, looking at his Azure eyes.

Pearl meets Azure!!

"Izumi. I told you before call me Izumi, we're lovers. Calling me master kinda felt weird. So call me by my name from now on." Izumi kissed her lips as she was too beautiful at this moment and he couldn't resist it.

The kiss lasted for 10 minutes.....

When they seperate, the saliva was still connected between both of them.

"Okay I'll call you when we're alone or at infront of people we could trust." She licked her lips and stated reluctantly. At first she didn't wanted to do that but felt happy in her heart when he motioned her to call him and leave no room for denial.

All in all, she looked very sexy when she did that... Izumi knew if this goes on any longer he won't be able to control his 'Little Brother' anymore so he decides to stop from going anything further as he could feel 'it' had already awakened.

(A/N: Just came from those shitty exams and posted this chapter... Hope you all enjoy it! And, Sorry Sorry!! I tinkered the original story a bit and made some changes in backstory...I put it that Tio and Yue are best friends before the Vampires were annihilated..... Just pray that plot-kun doesn't get angry since I took his role..)
