## Chapter 1037 – The One With Many Questions

I had a ton of luggage, but it was nothing, really. The gravestone and the demon corpse weren’t heavy, and Claudie was lighter than a feather.

“Kyaa, Kat. You’re so fast.”

Claudie, sitting demurely on the gravestone, said cheerfully as her hair fluttered in the wind.

“Should I slow down a bit?”
“No, it’s okay. But aren’t you heavy?”
“Hehehe, our Claudie is lighter than a feather.”
“Really, what are you saying?”

Feeling my newfound strength, I sprinted at full speed and soon reached the gates of Isvant. After dealing with the astonished guards who saw the demon’s corpse, we returned home.

“Did Blackie get here?”
“Yeah. He just got here. When did Winia get back?”
“About an hour or two ago? And Karin and Liz went out to get groceries a little while ago.”
“Is that so?”

It seemed everyone had returned earlier than expected and was already resting. Karin and Liztina seemed to have just left to buy groceries. Probably planning to buy ingredients.

“But why did you bring so much stuff?”

Winia said, looking at the Rakshasa’s corpse I had put down.

“I caught a High Demon and brought back the spoils from there. Didn’t you catch anything, Winia?”
“I caught a lot of demons… I don’t know about this. But what’s this gravestone?”
“Don’t you remember this? You’ve seen it before.”
“When?”

Winia tilted her head, and Claudie told her.

“When we went into the Kobold Dungeon. We saw it then.”
“Kobold Dungeon? Ah, right. I remember. That’s the one Unnie saved us from when we fell, right?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”

Only then did Winia seem to remember, and she examined the gravestone properly. She immediately tried to lift it, but couldn’t lift it at all. I immediately moved the gravestone so Winia could see it easily.

“Blackie, is this really the one we saw back then? Not just another one that looks similar?”
“It looks like the same one to me.”

I couldn’t be sure, but it looked exactly like the one I had seen back then.

There’s no end to the ill-fated relationship with this gravestone. It was back when I was a shitty E-rank adventurer working with Elise for the first time.

At that time, the Kobolds were acting strangely and came up to the surface. Kobolds are almost blind and only live in the caves they create, but strangely, they crawled onto the ground and created an altar to perform a ritual.

The symbol on that altar was the one we had seen countless times from the heretics. Of course, we found the same symbol in the Kobold Dungeon we found later.

I’m guessing that the heretics are controlling the Kobolds, who are low-level monsters, to conduct some kind of experiment or research. This gravestone is probably related to that as well. But those damn demons were examining this.

This is suspicious.

“Take a look at these symbols. They all have patterns. That’s why I remember it so clearly.”
“I don’t understand any of it.”
“Should I call Risha?”

She’s more likely not to know, but still, the person who knows the most about this among us is Risha. Ah, Hilde too, I guess.

“Ari is in the basement, should I bring her up?”
“No. I’ll take it down. There’s also the demon corpse. But where’s Hilde?”
“She was tired and went up first. She used a lot of strength today.”
“Really?”

Used a lot of strength?

“She was going crazy killing demons. Just like Blackie, just like Blackie.”
“Hehehe, is that so.”

Good.

“Claudie, go wash up first. I’ll take a look at this gravestone and corpse and then wash up.”
“Okay. I will.”

It looked like Winia was studying with a magic book. So, I carried the gravestone and corpse down to the basement alone.

“Ah, you’ve come. You’ve worked hard.”
“Risha too. Wasn’t it too hard today?”
“Huhu, there’s no need to worry. I did it in a way that wouldn’t be too much. Anyway, you’ve brought some interesting things.”

I immediately put down the gravestone and corpse.

“Father, you’ve worked hard too.”
“Yes, our Ari has worked hard.”

Ari, who was next to Risha, also came over and examined them.

“Risha. Do you know what these symbols are?”
“Hmm… This is?”
“Oh? Could it be?”
“I don’t know.”
“Oh, come on.”
“D-Don’t be disappointed! We can find out! And don’t think that I don’t know anything!”

Risha, her face flushed, shouted.

“Hehehe, no. I didn’t.”

Anyway, I briefly explained to Risha about how I saw this gravestone in the past. She’s heard the story from me countless times anyway, so she understands even if I keep it short.

Risha, understanding what I said, nodded and began to prepare to examine the gravestone.

“What about this High Demon corpse?”
“Honestly, it doesn’t seem to have anything special. Therefore, it won’t be of much use. How about selling it to the magicians outside?”
“Well, yeah. It’s just a slightly stronger demon.”

I brought it thinking it might be useful, but it’s just a High Demon after all. Should I just feed it to Vugal? That wouldn’t be a big deal either.

“I’ll show it to Hilde and then get rid of it. Can you keep it here?”
“I’ll do a simple embalming. Now, let’s examine the gravestone.”

At Risha’s gesture, Ari skillfully brought the tools.

“This is too perfect of an assistant, isn’t it? Ari. Are you going to become a black magician too?”
“If Risha-nim teaches me properly, I might be able to.”
“Wow.”

It was incredibly surprising.

“Then you’ll become a dark herbalist.”
“I don’t know what that is, but if Father wants, I’ll ask Risha-nim. Risha-nim. Is it okay for me to learn black magic?”

Ari immediately looked at Risha and said that, and Risha smiled and stroked Ari’s head, answering.

“Huhu, you’ve really become a child who follows you well. Of course, there’s no problem. If you want to learn, learn it. But I think it would be more efficient to focus on handling your own powers right now, don’t you think?”
“I guess so.”

I should focus on my powers first.

“Ari. Let’s do that.”
“Yes. I will.”
“She listens too well.”
“Hehe, because I’m a good girl.”

Her body isn’t a child though.

Anyway, I examined the gravestone with Risha, and when it was appropriately finished, I left the basement.

“Now go up and wash up and rest. I’ll go up a little later. Karin and Liz will probably be here soon.”
“Then let’s eat when they get here.”
“Now, go and serve him.”
“Yes.”

Risha said that to Ari, and Ari immediately followed me.

“Father. I’ll help you wash.”
“Hehehe, okay. Thank you.”
“It’s something I should do.”
“Our Ari is so kind.”

When we went upstairs, Ari helped me take off my clothes, and Ari also took off her clothes and followed me into the bathroom.

“Aww. Another energetic day.”
“You’ve really worked hard. Now, let’s wash together… But.”
“Hmm?”

Ari, standing in front of me, looked up at me and said.

“How is it? Have I grown to be more pleasing to Father’s heart?”

As if to emphasize her figure, she stretched out her waist.

“Hmm… Certainly.”

Her development is very good.

When I first saw her, she was already a seductive adult woman’s body, but now, after time has passed. Ari’s figure had become even more perfect.

Her long, straight legs and thin waist always stole my gaze, and her large, swollen breasts and childbearing hips and buttocks also enriched my heart. Hips that can be grabbed like handles… The desire to grab and shake them relentlessly wriggled.

Above all, her cute pink nipples and tightly closed pussy always excited me.

It was a line that made my lust boil just by looking at it.
My already erect cock was stuck to my abdomen.

“Hehe, I think you like it. I’m happy.”
“…”

Ari, who smiled refreshingly, reached out her finger and stroked my glans, diligently applying the leaked precum to my cock… Ari, who was already pretty, seemed even prettier today. Her red hair was so beautiful, no, it was originally beautiful, but it seemed more special today.

What’s the reason?

“Um.”

As I was mindlessly admiring Ari’s naked body and indulging in visual pleasure, Ari tilted her head and spread her arms.

“Father.”
“…”

It was a gesture as if to tell me to hug her.

“I’ll hug you. Please hug me.”
“Then.”

At her very benevolent attitude, I immediately hugged Ari as she told me to. She said she’d help me wash, but I hadn’t even gotten my body wet yet. Actually, I didn’t care about that. Wouldn’t it be more important to bury my face in Ari’s cleavage and rub my face against it now?

“Haa…”

As I rubbed my face against her soft and warm breasts, it felt like all the stress in the world was being relieved. No, it was actually being relieved. Ari’s beauty was already massaging my heart.

“Huhu, Father, it tickles.”

My own Ari that I can do whatever I want with.

“Really, don’t just rub your face… Do something else too.”

A voice as if melting into sweetness.
Ari said that while gently stroking my back.

“Something else?”
“I want to see Father sucking on my nipples…”

What?

“…Why has our Ari become so lewd?”

She wants to see me sucking on her nipples.

“But that’s one of my joys… Hurry, Father. They’re so swollen because they want to be sucked… Haa… Haa…”

Somehow, she felt a little more seductive today. And as Ari said, her nipples were already slightly swollen and faintly squeezing out breast milk.

Such a pervert…!

“Hurry. They’ve already started coming out like this because they want to be sucked by Father… Haa… Hurry.”
“Kuh.”

I immediately brought my lips to Ari’s nipples and earnestly sucked on them while indulging myself. Every time I moved my tongue, Ari moaned and tensed her body, and every time she did, sweet breast milk spurted out and filled my mouth.

“Heuht… Hyaang, heuaaaang…!”

As if she was going intensely just by having her nipples sucked, Ari, who was constantly shaking her body, stuck her thighs together and twisted them.

“Is our Ari going just from her nipples?”
“Yesh… Yesh…!”

I immediately lowered my hand, caressed Ari’s buttocks and hips, and then forced my way into the gap in her tightly closed thighs and thrust my fingers into her soaked pussy.

“Heuht…!”

I continued to suck on her breast milk while relentlessly stirring Ari’s pussy. Seriously, she really likes having her fingers thrust in like this. It’s a caress that I feel like I’ll become addicted to every time I do it. I’m not lying, but I could be happy just touching her pussy all day long without doing anything else.

“Aaa… A little more. Just a little more… A little harder…!”
“Is this not enough?”
“More, more…! I want to feel Father more…!”

As I endlessly tormented Ari’s nipples and pussy as requested, Ari’s completely melted body drooped.

“Haaht…! Heueu… Huaaa…”

I carefully laid Ari’s drooping body on the wooden bath panel. Her red hair drooped down. Her face was already completely red, and her firmly erect nipples were also quite beautiful.

“Haa…”

She was faintly rubbing her thighs together while drooling with the afterglow of climax, and I couldn’t bear it without devouring her.

“It seems like I’m being completely seduced instead of helping you bathe.”
“Ah, Father… Haa… I’m sorry… I was going to wash you…”

Ari, who was breathing heavily and seductively squinting her eyes.

ㅡSwish.

Slowly spreading her legs, she said.

“Father needs to wash me… Here, it’s getting too hot here, I can’t stand it anymore…”

Seriously, why is she like this today.

“Father… Hurry… Please suck here too…”

ㅡGulp.

I could feel myself swallowing. As if I had been mind-controlled, I knelt down and brought my face to Ari’s lower body.

“Heuht!”

I kissed her right away.
