Chapter 155: Let me rub your belly then (Three updates, please subscribe!)

Izay took a moment to gather his thoughts and roughly understood the situation.

Simply put, Mary, the mermaid, was blocked from returning home.

What a move, even the neighboring mafia would approve of such professionalism.

According to Mary’s account, a huge green monster wanted to eat her.

This wasn’t the first time they (the heretics) had been harassed by this monster; it had been happening for quite some time, and they had repelled it multiple times.

However, whenever things got critical or something seemed off, the green monster would immediately flee, not giving them the chance to kill it completely. After recuperating, it would come back.

A typical sticky situation.

The worst part was that the entrance to Secret City seemed to have been detected by the opponent, which was the real reason why Mary ran out.

“Big green monster… could it be a moss giant?”

Izay muttered softly.

According to the original timeline, there would be a “reinforced species” moss giant developing within Water Riddle City.

Who would’ve thought it would appear at this point in time?

Judging from what Mary said, it must have been born even earlier?

The “moss giant” is a rare species of monster found within the range of the Great Tree Maze on the twenty-fourth floor.

Its body made of moss looks like a plant puppet, usually towering in size, but lacks wooden skeletons or strong physical strength.

One of its characteristics is that when injured, it produces clones without “magic stones,” leading adventurers to often say they defeated the clone while the main body cleverly escaped.

This beast isn’t aggressive and prefers to use camouflage, ambushes, or escape tactics, showing high intelligence.

“Speaking of which, how does it keep being reinforced? Could it be I have a special connection with reinforced species?”

After hearing Mary’s words and judging by the tremors he felt earlier…

Izay concluded that the commotion was likely caused by that moss giant.

Other adventurers might not encounter a reinforced species all year, yet Izay kept crossing paths with them.

Perhaps next time he levels up, he’ll gain a “Reinforced Species Slayer” development ability~

Beside him, the mermaid girl listened to Izay’s muttering, puzzled, she tilted her beautiful eyes upward, deep in thought.

But after a while, unable to figure anything out, Mary let out a breath through her nose, seemingly abandoning the effort.

Putting aside those strange words and worries, she shifted slightly closer to Izay.

“Hey… Izay, let’s chat?”

For someone who was accepted by others besides her own kind, Mary blushed and smiled happily.

Young lady, your home is almost gone, and you’re still thinking about chatting?

Despite feeling somewhat amazed at her optimistic mindset…

“Alright, what do you want to talk about?”

“Hmm…”

Rarely finding someone to chat with, Mary fell into a happy dilemma of what to talk about.

“Would you like something to eat?”

At this, Izay couldn’t help but smile and gently offered his suggestion.

“Yes, yes! Is it human food?”

“Sort of, I made it myself.”

Under the expectant gaze of Mary, Izay brought the small bag behind him to the front and pulled out a steaming hot pancake, looking as if it just came out of the oven.

“Oh~ What is this? It smells so good!”

Easily distracted by the unfamiliar food, Mary’s mouth opened involuntarily, her eyes twinkling with stars.

Translated, those stars mean two words – Want to Eat!

“Pancake, a type of food, a delicious snack passed down from a cultural superpower, fresh and tasty…”

“Grrr~”

Before Izay could finish, Mary stretched her neck, hooked onto Izay, and bit directly into the pancake in his hand. She then leaned against him, closing her eyes and emitting sounds of enjoyment.

Her tail, half submerged in water, swayed continuously, reflecting her joyful mood.

“Mm~ So delicious!”

“At least let me finish my sentence…”

“Ah, sorry, it just looked too appetizing~ Can I have another bite?”

Mary, tasting the food while covering her mouth like a squirrel, apologized indistinctly to Izay.

“… Just don’t choke yourself.”

Handing over the entire pancake to her, Izay reminded her briefly, then reached into his backpack again and pulled out a second pancake for himself.

They’re all fresh.

Of course, the backpack doesn’t have such functionality, but the portable space does.

After obtaining a portable space, what should you store in it?

Izay didn’t know about others, but he used his to store food. There’s no concept of time inside the portable space, so whatever you store won’t expire, extremely convenient.

Regardless of whether it was lunchtime or not, Izay shared a simple lunch with the mermaid girl inside the dungeon.

Simple – referring to meat pancakes, drinks, thin pancakes plus fried potato balls. Other adventurers exploring the dungeon quietly felt ashamed and put down their own portable rations.

“Burp.. What should I do? Izay, I can’t move anymore…”

Mary patted her slightly bloated little belly, leaning against Izay, unwilling to move.

“Who told you to eat so much?”

Izay rolled his eyes, using magic to dispose of the food packaging.

“But it was so delicious. Izay~ I feel so uncomfortable now.”

“What do you expect me to do? I’m also helpless.”

“Izay, can you think of something for me~”

Currently, Mary’s state was no different from someone who ate ice cream without restraint and got brain freeze, except she was stuffed.

In response to her request, Izay hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“Then… shall I rub your belly?”

“Mm!”

After Izay agreed to help, Mary rubbed against him like a puppy.

And upon receiving the mermaid girl’s affirmation, Izay placed his hand on her white, smooth skin and began working slowly.

“Mm… feels so good…”

Listening to these strange sounds, Izay’s expression became slightly serious.

Come to think of it, as a heretic, Mary has no concept of clothing.

Brain: Eyes, what did you see?

Eyes: Huh? Not me! I didn’t! Don’t frame me!

Brain: Then what about the hand?

Hand: Damn it, it’s you controlling me! I’m also white!

Brain: ? ! ?

As the main organ of the body, the brain once again felt its authority challenged.

We all have our roles, but these two doing naughty things without involving him was one thing, now they are even turning the tables, utterly unreasonable!

Where’s the DNA? Where’s the DNA gone? Hurry up and deal with these two guys!
