The Aftermath of Breeding and the Quest for Evolution

After deliciously devouring Eila and Ryun, I longed for a rest, but my instincts wouldn't allow it. "You still have three daily quests left, aren't you going to run them?" There was no reason not to take advantage of the three remaining opportunities to run the Slime sub-dungeon. However, my body felt too heavy and stiff to go dungeon-crawling right now.

"Hey, you two. Can you move?"

"A little..."

"Haa, haa."

Ryun was collapsed on top of Eila, catching her breath. I had told Ryun I wouldn't give her any while punishing her, but I hadn't said I wouldn't drink from her. So, I had licked up the rich, peach-flavored honey from Ryun above, and below, I had ejaculated inside Eila, who had regained her consciousness for the first time in a while.

It was a shame to fail at overcoming that 0.1% probability again, but there were plenty of chances left. Ejaculating inside Eila once a day was essentially doing a daily gacha pull. 'I need to evolve Ryun quickly, too.' She was a 3-star, and since becoming a 2-star had made her glans fit just a little, reaching 3 stars should make it possible to enter her, even if it would be a tight fit. 'Thanks to Eila, I’ve learned so much.' When they are reborn, they are essentially new beings, so even a once-pierced membrane regenerates. ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠Eila even seemed to have regressed to a state two years younger than her prime. Twenty-two years old. Eila was two years younger. And I had made this 22-year-old Eila taste the breaking of her maidenhood all over again. She had been in pain, and I had been too rushed to set any mood, but I could just do it properly once she reincarnated into a 6-star later. Long live Solomon. 'Should I have just fucked her when Ryun was a 1-star?' It was a pity in many ways, but elves might be different. I couldn't tell if this was because they were reborn as new entities or if their physical age had simply reverted to their past prime.

"Eila."

"Yes."

"You definitely weren't a virgin when you were with me. Who was it with?"

"...The prince, and, just that once."

"Didn't you say the prince was 16?"

"..."

Eila turned as red as a ripe tomato. A 24-year-old female knight and a 16-year-old shota prince.

"What age do humans have their coming-of-age ceremony?"

"It's 16! And, the prince just gave me as a gift to commemorate his coming-of-age ceremony!"

Eila huffed, then grabbed her hair and covered her face with both hands. "Ugh... such a shameful past..."

"Heh heh. Still, don't forget that."

I shoved my finger into Eila's crotch, where my semen was still dripping out. The 5-star Eila 'tightened' around me even more strongly than before her reincarnation, biting down on my finger.

"Even if the prince ate you before you were reincarnated, I'm the one who took your first time now."

"Yes..."

"Master, what about me?" Ryun tilted her head and smiled brightly. Already stripped of every stitch of clothing, Ryun spread her legs wide to seduce me. Her adorable lower body, just beginning to ripen, stimulated my lust. 'But if I fuck her now, she'll definitely break.'

"After you evolve."

"Hmph."

Stable 3-star. And I needed to confirm one thing through various cross-verifications. Whether they were newly created upon being reborn, or if their bodies had simply been restored to their past state. It was incredibly difficult to verify because Eila had become younger. 'I'll have to raise the dungeon rank and test it.' So, there were two things to do first. I lifted my heavy body and picked up the two items I had left by the bed.

"3-stack and 4-stack."

"Yes?"

"Just nonsense."

The children I had personally seeded. I called Harsus and ordered him to bring the two parents, and soon the parties involved visited the hollow.

"Oh, are ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠you doing it now? That's a bit difficult..."

The Harpy was smiling awkwardly, her belly bulging. I had told her to engage in consecutive battles against the guys who lusted after Eila, and it seemed she had conceived again in the meantime.

"Are the new studs any good?"

"...Not really. One is too slow and the other is too fast."

"Then you'll have to rotate them among the slaves."

"Yeah. The first three seem to be in the best shape. Look at this. I'm already pregnant again?"

The Harpy smiled brightly, showing off her bulging belly. That smile was also a provocation directed at me. "Are you going to keep letting me get eaten by other ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠men, Master?"

"Yeah. Sorry. My cock is a bit busy."

Just counting Ryun, Lime, and Eila, that was three already. On top of that, I had to keep at least three shots in reserve to deal with Luna, who could appear at any moment.

"Hee-ing."

"That's mine."

The Harpy tried to imitate Ryun, but was immediately struck down by Ryun's assertion of copyright. The Harpy, who hadn't even been given a name, was nothing more than the ace of the chicken coop.

'Maybe if she evolves.'

I checked the other Harpies in my subordinate list. The Harpies I had summoned and then summoned again with magic stones the next day.

"Do you want to evolve?"

"Of course! What could be more joyful than being born as a dungeon monster and evolving?"

"Why?"

"Because I can bear stronger offspring. Ohoho."

As expected, monsters are something else entirely—hard to grasp with human sensibilities. But I had no way to increase the stars of a Harpy by any means currently available. 'If only there was a 0.1% chance in the seeding gacha...' All I could do was raise her level. Or maybe find ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠some other way through the system.

"...Right. Well, anyway, I can't just send one person."

I intended to complete the daily quests with my own children. If a high-level guide like me or Lime accompanied the mother-daughter duo on a Slime dungeon exploration, the hunting would automatically be completed.

"So, let's hatch the egg first!"

It was time for the gacha.

'As expected, the higher the stars, the better the value.' Even looking at Lime, she produces at least a 2-star. Although the Harpy wasn't a body that could produce a Harpy Angel in her relationship with me, that would change once she evolved.

"Hey, let's do it together."

I called the Harpy first, and she walked over with difficulty, supported by Harsus, and grabbed the egg born between her and me.

"Then here we go!"

"Yes, Master...! Ah, ahh?!"

The moment I placed the egg on the summoning circle, the Harpy suddenly slumped to the floor and began to weep.

"...Whoa."

It's a bit much to be giving birth to a new egg from someone else's seed right in front of the daughter born between you and me, isn't it? But I couldn't stop her.

"Ah, haa-ugh!"

The Harpy's egg was already peeking its head out. Meanwhile, the egg on the summoning circle was quickly enveloped in white light and born as a new existence.

"Master...? Mom...?"

"Waaaaah!"

The Harpy had ended up giving birth right in front of her daughter. The Harpy (★☆) with black hair and green highlights looked pale at the sight of the birth she had witnessed the moment she was born.

"...I'm sorry for everything."

"Ah, no. It's okay."

Even while confused, the Harpy took care of her mother and half-sister. The Harpy stuck her tongue out and fainted with a face that defied description. "Harsus, sorry, but take her away."

Kkeureureuk. Harsus took the Harpy mother and daughter and guided them to the barracks. Her legs were bird claws, but unlike the mother, her pelvis looked quite well-suited for laying eggs.

"...Gulp."

For some reason, it felt like a waste to give her to the studs.

I know. I know. I swallowed my tears and took out the next egg. This time, Lime approached my side and placed her hand on my arm.

"Here we go."

Kkureureuk. A white light enveloped Lime and my egg. The white light descended like a blessing announcing the birth of a new life, and soon the egg took on a new, amorphous form.

The second Slaine in our dungeon had been born. Lime hugged her daughter—the Slaine was just a balloon in form, but it was definitely a daughter—and bowed to me.

"No, it's nothing. You'll have to give birth to many more in the future."

Kkureureuk?

"You're the ace of our dungeon now. You need to give birth to many and increase our combat power."

There would be no more monsters summoned from the Demon King. It felt better emotionally to have them born through Lime than to summon them through magic stones.

"Lime, take the kid and go get some rest."

Kkureureuk. Lime left the hollow, holding the Slaine. She seemed to want to educate it herself, and it was difficult for me to interfere in the education of slimes. 'Is she trying to keep them away from the studs?' Given Lime's intelligence, she clearly understood humans to some extent. Even if it was a Slaine, I didn't want it drooling slime all over the studs without hesitation.

'If we're talking about pure numbers, it's better to let them do it with human men, though.'

The union of a human male and a Sla-hole.

'As expected, the chemistry with monsters isn't great.' Since Orcs are monsters and I was born in the dungeon, I had better chemistry with Slimes, which were also monsters. But. That didn't mean. 'It's a bit much to just let the kids who are like my daughters play around...' Mass-producing combat power is important. But I couldn't just let them play around like that, starting with Meari, then the Harpy, and the Slaine that was just born.

'Meari has a big appetite like me, though!' It was unacceptable to let 2-star studs eat my offspring. Someday they would meet new men, but I couldn't just let it happen like this. The minimum rank would be 4, the level at least 80, or they would have to be someone with immense wealth or an organization larger than my dungeon. I had no qualms about consuming the combat power summoned from the Demon King as I pleased, but I felt a pang of conscience about treating those born from me like chickens in a coop.

'That Demon King bastard is something else.' To think he'd try to conquer the world knowing this would happen if he spread them into the dungeons. He's a complete madman—no, madwoman?—to say the least. 'For me, it's enough to just eat Estu.' I had vowed to expand my combat power until the day I pinned Estu beneath me, but I felt I should draw a line somewhere. Was there no way to make them stronger?

"Ah."

There was a way.

"Enhancement tickets."

Even if they were ★, if their level was high, no one would be able to ignore them.

"Harsus!!"

Kkureureuk.

"Bring the Harpy that was just born!"

Kkureuk. Harsus ran out and brought back the child born between the Harpy and me.

"Why did you call for me?"

I had conceived her out of necessity, but now that I was facing her, a complicated feeling welled up inside me. For the time being, sending my own children to the studs was on hold.

"You are a combat operative from now on. Understand?"

"Yes. Uh... then, what if..."

The Harpy covered her mouth with her wing and smiled seductively. "If there's something delicious among the intruders entering the dungeon, can I eat it?"

"..."

Meari was the same, everyone had such voracious appetites. Ryun, who had gotten out of bed, watched the Harpy for a long time and then said to me:

"She resembles you, Master."

"What does that mean?"

"Are you asking because you don't know?"

"..."

For the first time, I had lost a war of words with Ryun.

At the time Pahuu was agonizing over how to strengthen his daughters, Luna had returned to the forest and was immediately summoned by the 1st Elder.

"Where and what have you been doing until now?"

The 1st Elder interrogated Luna. Luna kept a calm face, while simultaneously looking down with the guilty air of someone caught doing something bad.

"I was patrolling a bit too much."

"No matter how much you patrol, there should be no reason to be this late. It seems you took three hours longer than usual."

Three hours. The time Luna had spent engaging in intercourse with Pahuu to verify whether the taboo was true or not.

"Yes. ...That, that is."

Naturally, Luna had no intention of revealing that she had coupled with a monster. Luna had no intention of ending her relationship with Pahuu as a one-time pleasure.

"...I was looking for Ryun."

"Hmph. I told you she was a child who had left on her own. ...No, never mind. I will understand it as the broad heart of a guardian worrying for a young elf. So, did you find her?"

Luna couldn't readily answer, "Yes." She had developed a distrust of the elders regarding the taboo, and the guardian's senses, following that distrust, were sounding an alarm. She didn't know why, but she was reluctant to tell the truth. So, Luna decided to tell the truth in a clever way.

"Yes. I found the traces of footprints leading out of the forest. ...Just as the Elder said, it seems she left on her own."

It was true that she had left the forest on her own. It was just that she had gone a little further and encountered Pahuu.

"...Is that so?"

Luna sensed it. The 1st Elder had just 'smiled'.

"Then it can't be helped. Guardian, just in case, continue to strengthen your patrols from now on. If Ryun returns, the elders will gather to hold a meeting."

"Yes."

Luna quietly withdrew from the 1st Elder. As the seed of doubt sprouted, everything began to look strange.

"Why are you here?"

"Ah, Sola."

Sola, an elf with a venomous impression, expressed her annoyance toward Luna. Luna calmly stated that the 1st Elder had summoned her.

"Mother? Why? Tsk, whatever. Get lost."

"...Understood."

Luna stepped aside from Sola. Usually, she would have retorted, but Luna had an urgent matter to attend to right now.

"Hey! Where are you going!"

"To bathe."

This was bad. Something sloshing around in her belly hadn't completely drained out yet. Luna hurriedly left the village again.

Splash. Luna threw herself into a secluded river, and soon shoved her hand down below.

"..."

With a bubbling sound, something white and sticky flowed down along the river water. No one knew of Luna's shameful conduct.
