Chapter 392: Izay Got the First Time (Please Subscribe!)

The Great Forest on the 18th floor is always silent at night.

And deep within the forest, amidst a foggy spring, there was no sound either.

It was as if someone had pressed the pause button.

Riviria could feel Izay’s intense gaze upon her, and even though nothing touched her, her skin tingled with sensation.

And… this guy didn’t seem to have any intention of looking away!?

That’s going too far～!

“Are you still staring!?” Riviria, blushing, slowly bent her knees and submerged her body in the water, then almost hissed these three words through gritted teeth.

She spoke in such a soft voice that only Izay could hear, fearing that Alisia and the others behind might notice.

While feeling a bit stimulated inside, Izay obediently looked away after taking two more glances.

“Sorry, teacher. I couldn’t help myself, seeing you like this…”

He didn’t clarify the latter part of his sentence, but both people present understood its meaning.

From Izay’s perspective, despite Riviria’s harsh tone being conveyed quite clearly,

her blushing face lacked any intimidation and instead made her even more alluring.

He felt he might lose control…

DNA: Were you calling me?

Izay: Uh… no, I wasn’t.

DNA: Didn’t you hesitate just now?

Izay: I already said I didn’t! (Lacking confidence)

After the words were spoken, whether out of anger or embarrassment, Riviria’s breathing inexplicably quickened.

Because she realized that Izay was treating her with an utterly “normal heart,” showing no respect for elders of the Familial Group.

A truly “normal heart,” akin to how men would be attracted to beauties.

(He definitely got excited just now, right!?)

Riviria identified a situation in her mind that made her blush uncontrollably.

Still the same line.

Elves are a conservative race.

Royal elves even more so.

Apart from those of the same sex and race recognized by Riviria, and girls like Ais, not even Loki could see her body unless it was for updating Ability Values.

And this time, being seen bathing without preparation by Izay has exceeded Riviria’s tolerance.

Not to mention the twists and turns during which she was forcibly calmed down by Alisia.

Now, Riviria herself doesn’t know what she’s thinking, countless thoughts appearing in her mind every second, intertwining absurdly like a tangled ball of yarn.

However, there was one thing that remained at the forefront of her mind.

—That is, figuring out and escaping the current situation.

Riviria indicated that she wanted some quiet time.

“Izay… why are you here!?”

Suppressing the various random thoughts that arose in her mind, the elf princess tried her best to remain composed, wanting to understand the reason for the situation.

Upon hearing this, Izay hesitated to speak.

“This…”

“What? Is there something you can’t say?”

“No, it’s not that.”

“Then why are you hesitating?”

Faced with Riviria’s questioning, Izay sighed: “Actually, teacher, logically speaking, I was here first…”

“Haaah—!?”

Riviria suddenly froze.

Riviria temporarily stopped thinking.

(Izay was here first!?)

The young elf princess found herself full of question marks.

Wait a minute…

Earlier in the water, she did sense a familiar magical presence, plus Izay’s behavior…

Gently shifting her beautiful eyes, Riviria cautiously glanced over and saw the tray, wine bottle, and cup floating beside him in the water, realizing something.

(…So I was the one who came later?)

(Am I the one who was peeping!?)

Mama-san felt her heart stop.

Not only was she seen naked, but it turned out she was the one at fault!?

With a plop, she sat straight down at the bottom of the spring, completely stunned.

“That… teacher, are you okay?”

Seeing her state, Izay looked worried.

Even in the center of the spring, the water here wasn’t deep, barely covering the chest, the white towel slightly floating, the water rippling.

“Don’t look over here! I’m fine. Turn around!”

“Okay, oh～”

Izay obediently turned away, not looking at the scene ahead.

At this moment, there was already plenty of data saved in his brain memory. He wasn’t the type to take advantage and irritate others. It was better to stay quiet.

“At times like this, you’re so obedient.” Riviria rolled her eyes in annoyance, almost laughing.

Why didn’t you behave this way earlier and keep your eyes under control!?

Riviria shifted her slender legs and delicate feet that were pressed by her sitting posture, slightly adjusting her position.

The rising mist and the perfectly adjusted water temperature using magic made her almost think she was bathing at home.

But if that were true, it would be suffocating.

Because that would mean she was bathing with Izay!

Though it seemed similar to the current situation… willingly and accidentally witnessing are different feelings psychologically!

Riviria attempted to deny the current situation to calm herself down.

Then, she successfully remembered what she needed to do.

“Izay…”

“Yes?”

“Why haven’t you left yet!?”

“Eh—? Can I leave?”

Suddenly turning his head, Izay startled Riviria, who tightly held the towel in front of her, her eye corners stiffening.

“You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you!?”

“Cough, no, just a little excitement.”

That was the truth.

Izay had already been thinking about how to apologize and comfort his teacher.

And how to get through this “trial.”

Didn’t expect the teacher to let him off so easily?

Even if the goddess of pears encountered a shy Dark while bathing, she’d still get hit.

And yet, I’m unscathed?

“Could you possibly want to stay and bathe with me!?” Riviria ground her silver teeth, her tone carrying a hint of threat.

“What an enticing option…”

“Huh???”

“Ah no, I mean I’ll leave right away! See you tomorrow, teacher.”

“Wait, don’t tell anyone about tonight!”

As Izay prepared to leave with a towel and use magic to depart, Riviria quickly pulled on his shoulder and whispered a reminder.

“I understand, I won’t tell anyone!” Izay nodded decisively.

He wasn’t stupid.

If others found out about this incident, the attitudes of the elves at home aside, Loki would surely chase him halfway across Orario, considering Loki’s stamina consumption.

If Loki got really angry, she might chase him around the entire Orario!

So let’s keep this chance encounter a secret.

Just between the two of us is fine～

Coincidentally, Riviria thought the same.

The elf with emerald hair silently watched the star symbols floating in the air, exhaling a long breath.

Mama-san’s mood was extremely complex right now.

Letting Izay off without punishment was somewhat unsatisfying.

Yet, if she pursued this matter, she didn’t know how to punish him.

Especially after being caught bathing by Izay, how should she face him in the future, making Riviria anxious.

From childhood until now, no man had ever seen her body, not even her father (the current Elf King).

But Izay took the first time.

“So annoying…”

Unable to figure it out, Riviria gradually submerged her body back into the water, looking like she was about to blow bubbles.

At this moment, a white object floated into her view.

“…Wine bottle? No, it’s water?”

Reaching out to examine the object, upon opening the cap, Riviria realized what was inside.

—Orbul Clear Water, spring water from Mount Orbul, the most popular water source among the Elves, none other. Also her favorite drink.

In the Dungeon, it’s naturally impossible to drink Orbul Clear Water all the time; expeditions require leaving the surface, so this item can’t be supplied anytime.

Thus, the reason for its appearance here was obvious.

“Excessive caution…” Riviria muttered softly.

Later, she leaned against the crystal pillar in the center of the hot spring, holding the water bottle and sipping it carefully.
