After resting for a few hours, Angus and Jayna woke up fresh. They look at the cute sleeping Anna on the side, hugging their arms like a koala. Seeing the little girl's innocent peaceful sleep makes them smile and melt with her cuteness.
After trying to wake the little monster many times, they go toward the others. Since they need to stay until the knights recover, they divide themself to remain on guard. Besides Nabe and Alder, everyone practically needs to rest.
Even Duchess Amberblaze also needs to rest her mind and body. Currently, the one in charge is the Duchess and Phineas. Unlike the others, Phineas always hid in the shadows since the start of the incident. Therefore, he is the only one that is still fresh and full-power.
Approaching their aunt, "Aunt Extalia, it's time to change." said Angus.
"Are you sure? I don't mind for another few hours. The incoming monsters are quite weak. None of them even reach high grade." replied Aunt Extalia.
"It's fine. We are already resting before meeting with you. Besides, we can't have you collapse in this situation." said Angus.
"*Sigh* Alright. You also don't need to worry about Eric and his Royal Guards. Leon already predicted some trouble in the chain of command during our journey. No matter what happens, they need to obey me." reassured Aunt Extalia.
"That's reassuring. Still, I am more worried about the other party." replied Angus.
The Duchess takes a glance at the other group beside them before Angus gives them a nod.
"Then, I will leave it to you for now. Just don't make a tro… No.. Just wake me up when there is trouble." said the Duchess before walking away.
"Tch.. Why would she say like there would be trouble? Who the hell wants to make trouble anyway?" grumbled Angus.
"Angus… Angus… Meat!!" called Anna while holding roasted monster meat.
While Angus talks with Aunt Extalia, Jayna roasts some monsters for Anna. Her fire may not be able to neutralize the miasma in the monster. But, it still could cook the meat and let Anna eat decently.
It is not that they are against eating raw meat, but they need to make sure Anna makes a habit of eating it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtApparently, eating raw meat for an extended period could make someone more savage and aggressive. This is an undeniable fact, especially in warmonger races like Goliath, Beastman, Orc, or a few sub-demon races.
These races will turn wild and sometimes easily lose their mind if they eat raw meat for a long time. Some nations even have strict laws prohibiting their citizens from eating raw meat. The minimum standard of eating is to roast it before eating it.
Angus couldn't only smile seeing the roasted monster meat on Anna's hand. The little monster is excited since the surrounding area is littered with monsters. It means there is mountain food for her. The death field and miasma in the air also give her a comfortable feeling.
While having his meal with Jayna and Anna, Angus notices something weird in the surroundings. Still, he can't really figure out what the problem is. He feels like everything is out of place and is moving faster than usual.
"Ohh.. You already woke up. It seems you also notice the time dilation." called Nabe, joining them along with Alder.
After a short nap, the Red Queen Nabe is completely recovered. Her mind was fresh and she could think clearly again. Her brief interaction with Anna didn't make her fear the little monster. Instead, it makes her even more curious about Anna.
"Time dilation?" asked Angus confusedly.
"Yes. A dungeon is practically another dimension. It consists of a massive time and space element. Since Anna broke the dungeon structure, it worked overdrive. It gathered all the space elements from the surrounding to fix itself."
"The problem is that the time and space element is interconnected. One couldn't exist without the others. Moreover, Nirvas contain very thick space and time elements. As a result, the dimension begins to have a time difference with the outside."
"Currently, the time dilation is still not fixed. It changes between normal to 2 times faster than outside. I calculate that it should stop around 1.5 times faster than outside after the dungeon stabilizes. In other words, three days here is like two days outside." explained Nabe.
"A dungeon with time dilation?? At this rate, I don't know if I should congratulate your kingdom or not on this incident." said Angus.
They know a dungeon with time dilation is very rare and precious. Any dungeon with time dilation will be worth at least 5 or more times than normal dungeon. It is because people have more time to hone themself.
Although they still age normally, it is still an excellent place to master skills or improve in a short time. Moreover, most combatants have a long life in this world. Getting older faster is nothing compared to having short improvement.
It is basically a rare and precious place. Just the entrance fee will make the whole Nirvas kingdom super rich in a few years. They could even become more prosperous while still being able to pay all the compensation to the Heart Kingdom.
"Actually, this dungeon is a miracle. After observing it for a while, I noticed this dungeon would not have become mature if not for little Anna. The time dilation also will not occur if it is not inside Nirvas.
"My instant dungeon formation also will not work if it is not getting powered by a Thousand Hurdle Monument. Basically, this dungeon is created by a series of events under different circumstances. It is a fate that this dungeon was created now." said Nabe cryptically.
"Anyway, why did you open my gifts from last time?" asked Nabe.
"You mean those female clothes?" asked Angus.
"Yeah. Did you like it?" asked Nabe.
"I didn't have time to show it to others. By the time I planned to check it more, we were dragged into this mess." said Angus.
"Ehh… Then, pull it out now. I want to see my creation worn by cute little Anna and your pretty lover." said Nabe.
"Seriously? At this time? And what makes you think I will let the girls wear unknown runic clothes from a stranger?" asked Angus with a frown.
"Of course, it is for research purposes." replied Nabe casually.
'This mad woman.' thought Angus.
"Wait.. Don't tell me you are suspicious that I put something on the clothes? Listen here, kid. I may be a mad scientist and genocider, but I am also a proud tailor specializing in women's clothes. I will never put malicious things on my beautiful babies." stated Nabe proudly.
"Now, hurry up. Bring it out." added Nabe.
Angus didn't reply and glanced at Jayna before the latter gave him a nod. This short interaction was also noticed by the Red Queen.
'A fast telepathy? No, it should be a bond. It is also related to one of their Ancient Powers. Such an interesting specimen.' thought Nabe with a smirk.
'It is a shame I can't dissect them. Who knows how Fate will react towards it.' thought Nabe.
Her wicked smile only happens for a moment but is noticed by the young couple.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Are you sure, Jayna?" asked Angus since he thought the Red Queen was planning something wicked on them.
"Don't worry, it's a different matter." replied Jayna shortly.
"Alright. Here, the clothes." said Angus while taking out the small suitcase.
The suitcase itself is quite remarkable and unique. It could be stored inside ordinary storage magic tools like a regular suitcase. He also couldn't understand most of the runes inscribed in the suitcase.
Then, Jayna opens the suitcase for a moment. Suddenly, Jayna's eyes turn into stars like a woman looking at a precious gem. Before Angus could ask anything, she closed the suitcase and grabbed the eating Anna.
"Anna, let's change clothes first." said Jayna while dragging Anna to a secluded place.
"Hanah Fifft feffting (Anna still eating)." complained Anna while eating.
A few moments later, Jayna and Anna returned while wearing new clothes. Jayna wears a long sleeve-tight white shirt with a red accent and gold accent. Combined with the long dark pants and boots, she looks like a female wanderer.
Despite the simplicity, the clothes magically bring her beauty to the next level. It accentuated her body shape and matched her hair color.
At this moment, Angus feels like falling in love with Jayna again. He couldn't stop looking at his lover with a dumb face.
On the other hand, Anna's clothes are black dresses without looking too heavy and impede her movement. She looks pretty with maximum cuteness. It takes a strong will for Angus to not pinch her cheek or tickle the little girl.
"Amazing!! I know these dresses will look good on you two." exclaimed Nabe
The Red Queen also observed her creation closely and wrote something on her notepad while ignoring the others.
"Err.. Mistress Red Queen Nabe, is it really okay for us to receive all these clothes?" asked Jayna.
"Of course. Although I didn't see you wearing the others, they should fit you and little Anna perfectly. Why? Did you not like it?" asked Nabe.
"No, I like it. Anna also likes it. But, this is too precious and beautiful." replied Jayna.
"Hahaha… Don't be so modest. You are the princess. Besides, haven't you looked at your boyfriend's reaction?" said Nabe while whispering in the last sentence.
