S-Class Dungeon's Mistress Chapter 103

'Would there be 20 Almas left? Maybe 10…?'

She was worried about the interest rates rising day by day and their assets diminishing little by little. She also had a lot of other worries. But she couldn't show it in front of her demons. Once they're back in business and kill more warriors, they'll be able to raise money again soon.

'If I don't want my children to go hungry, we have to work hard!'

Just as Adelaide made this promise, cheers were heard from afar.

“Wow! What is all this?”

The demons turned their heads and looked at the side where they heard the sound. A skeleton was walking out of the room and saw Lisianthus' garden. His eye sockets seemed to widen.

“That, Lisianthus grew that? Awesome!”

“Huh? What do you mean?” Adelaide tilted her head.

The garden did not look good the last time she saw it, but has it grown something in the meantime?

“Strawberry!”

'Strawberry…!' Adelaide exchanged gazes with Lisianthus.

The two of them jumped up from their seats at the same time. They quickly moved to the room that the skeleton was pointing at.

“Huh, what's going on?”

Caladium quickly followed her with a dark expression. No matter what he felt, he couldn't let Adelaide disappear alone with the manager.

Adelaide, who had yet to swallow all she had eaten, ran, and what unfolded in front of her was a strawberry world. The garden was full of bright red and plump strawberries. There was definitely a lot of dying grass a few days ago, but now, all the trees and flowers have grown up to look like a jungle.

“Th-This…!”

Adelaide's mouth was left agape in admiration. She instinctively picked the closest strawberry to her and put it in her mouth. The fresh and sweet taste stimulated the tip of her tongue.

“It's even delicious!” she exclaimed with a shocked face.

“Did you do this?” Caladium asked with bulging eyes.

Adelaide looked at Lisianthus instead of answering. She wasn't sure herself, so she waited for Lisianthus' reply. Lisianthus smiled as if he found that cute and spoke.

“Yes. That's Adele's power. Though faint, I can feel Adele's magic.”

When his confirmation fell, Adelaide suddenly plopped to the ground.

“What is it, what's wrong? Caladium was startled and looked at her condition.

“I…”

Sniff. With a tearful face she said.

“I made strawberries…!”

Tears rolled down from Adelaide's eyes.

“Now I can eat strawberries without buying them for the rest of my life! Other fruits too! I am rich!”

“Wow! Congratulations. Adela!”

All of a sudden, the demons clapped their hands while saying “Our Adelaide is a genius”. Bell then made an impossible request to make this much meat as well.

Meanwhile, the two devils were struggling to contain their laughter. The power of wishes is indeed great, but was she really crying just because of strawberries? Was she so happy that she doesn't have to pay to eat fruits for the rest of her life? The corners of their mouths twitched at the very trivial yet cute reaction.

After rejoicing for a while, Adelaide finally went back to the living room. As she sat down, Lisianthus once again reminded her of the dangers of her words.

“As I said, the power of wishes can have serious side effects. Don't use it for yourself, and when practicing, I recommend that you try doing weak ones first.”

“Ugh, okay.”

“And I'm saying this just in case, but don't even think about selling things made with your powers. You could catch the Demon King's eyes.”

“That's right. It will get complicated if rumors go around.”

At the warnings of Lisianthus and Caladium, Adelaide's face turned pale. This was because she was in the midst of planning to mass-produce delicious strawberries to sell them all over the Demon Realm.

'My greedy master.' Lisianthus, who had read her ambition earlier, burst into laughter. Then he said something that made her feel better.

“I will make a tart with those strawberries tomorrow morning.”

Unsurprisingly, Adelaide's face brightened quickly. She clasped his hands tightly and spat praises at him.

“I love it…! I love you, Lisian!”

“D*mn it, don't say things like that!” Caladium revolted.

She had never said it to him, so it was very unpleasant that she said it to Lisianthus so casually. Of course, Lisianthus was not very satisfied either. He felt the same because he only heard it when it concerned food.

“Guys, whenever you want to eat, go eat it! The strawberries are really sweet!”

Adelaide neatly ignored Caladium's annoyance and offered the strawberries she had grown to her demon family. The demons, who had just finished the meatloaf and were thinking about how to deal with the risotto, got up and went to pick strawberries.

Bell ate so much strawberries that his mouth was stained red. The Skeleton Captain was also showing them how to juggle strawberries, saying he learned it while in the Boraca Dungeon. Raham cut the prettiest and cleanest branches and gently inserted them behind Pia's ear.

It was a very peaceful meal time. The only thing to worry about is what to do with the risotto.

However, one small alarm sound from the dungeon pad changed the mood in an instant.

Ding-dong. At the sound, Adelaide checked the pad. The circular pattern was flickering. When she pressed the pattern, the notification window popped up and the broadcast resounded at the same time.

[A request for entry has been received. Would you like to allow entry?]

Adelaide blinked both eyes. She wasn't expecting any demon to visit. The portal for the postman was also fixed so Shoebill should be free to go in and out. Did Sol Dungeon come for revenge? They knew she had a devil so unless they were crazy, they wouldn't pick a fight with them. She narrowed her eyes and pressed the OK button. If Shavarma came in, she wouldn't let him go.

The dungeon pad's screen started to crackle. Since it is broken, it seems like it was malfunctioning. After Adelaide slapped the pad a few times, the screen became clear. As expected, hitting things like this is a tried and true fix. She smiled proudly and checked the pad.

But the moment the visitor's face was revealed on the screen, the smile disappeared from Adelaide's face.

“Th-That. Isn't he…!”

Next to her, the Skeleton Captain who was also staring at the pad, trembled.

Jet-black hair and a beauty that looked like it came out of a portrait.

“Isn't that the warrior?!”

Lupinus has returned. Unlike the last time when he entered the portal, he was now very polite.

'When you said let's meet again soon, you meant this soon?!'

Adelaide couldn't help but panic. They said their goodbyes as if they weren't going to see each other in a few days, but it has only been less than a day since they last saw each other. She never imagined that she would see him again so soon.

“Why did he come back? Don't tell me, revenge…?”

“No, Adelaide said everything was worked out.”

The demons ran about in confusion. Seeing his face, everyone seemed anxious as they remembered the nightmare of that day. Bell, who was eating strawberries, transformed into a puppy and jumped into Caladium's arms. Adelaide calmed them down by waving her hand.

“Don't worry. We will never fight again. Everything was resolved. I don't know why he came all of a sudden… In any case, there is absolutely no danger!”

At her resolute explanation, the demons slowly nodded their heads. Adelaide saw this and hurriedly opened her mouth. Even though he is a half-demon, he is also a warrior, so she was in a hurry because it could cause a big problem if someone saw the Legend who was wanted due to recent events, standing outside of her dungeon.

“Allow him to enter.”

[Entrance has been permitted as approved by the dungeon master.]

The demons stood up and stared at the portal. Soon after, Lupinus appeared through the blue portal. As seen on the screen, he was in his half-demon state with black hair. His appearance also changed subtly depending on his condition, so his face looked a little more blunt and colder than the last time she saw him in the log cabin.

“Hic.”

“Pia, come here…!”

The demons who remembered his ferocious appearance reflexively prepared a vigilant stance. However, as Adelaide had promised, Lupinus didn't seem to have any intention of fighting. They didn't feel any dreadful energy at all, and instead of a sword, he had something else in his hand.

“Hello, Adela.”

“Lupin!”

Adelaide walked up to him with a startled expression on her face.

“What happened all of a sudden-”

But before she could finish her words, she stopped. It was because there was something strange in front of her. Instead of a sword in Lupinus' hand, there was a large suitcase.

'Why did you bring something like that? No way….'

Her eyes shook violently. A hypothesis suddenly came to her mind, but Adelaide struggled to mutter 'it can't be'.

However, 'It can't be' was caught in her throat.

“Are there any rooms left in the dungeon?”

He asked with a calm face. Adelaide was so startled that she couldn't say anything. She barely squeezed her voice out.

“There is… But…. Why…?”

“I, I'm going to live here starting from today.”

Everyone's mouths hung open at the b*mbsh*ll he dropped. In addition to that, Lupinus just shrugged his shoulders as if Adelaide asked something obvious.

Adelaide froze with a confused face. Lupinus' attitude was so dignified that she doubted whether she was mistaken. However, looking around the demons surrounding her, they had faces that were as surprised as hers.

Convinced by this, Adelaide cautiously opened her mouth.

“See here, Lupin is a warrior. Living in the Demon Realm… I don't think you should?”

“Why not?”

Lupinus tilted his head like a cat. The behavior that was inconsistent with his size was very cute, but it was not the right time to admire it.

Adelaide pursed her lips as she questioned her principles. 'Right, why not?' She diligently racked her brains.

“Didn't you promise? You should keep your promises.”
