Chapter 4: Geography lesson? And I’m not a Baby!

A day later, We had written out the ransom note, And used a Magic Device one of the bandits had on him to teleport it to the castle... a device that then shattered.

"So its sent. Now we wait for your rescue, and you get the king to order my home left alone by dungeon Conquerers..."

"Yes. But depending on urgency, it may take a while. The capital is in a naturally formed Basin between Three mountains. It's a natural fortress, but that makes it difficult to reach on foot. They'll probably dispatch A few Wyverns carrying adventurers, but that will take time."

"Hmm. A Natural fortress? Tell me, Sir Seigfried, What's the surrounding terrain like?"

"Forests and plains, mostly. The area outside this dungeon however... it once was a small cult-like town in a large meadow, surrounded by forest... but it fell into ruin following a war, became infested with undead, and The surrounding land slowly became Marshland after a huge flood thirty years ago. Some call it The Fellmarsh. The immediate area though, its still a meadow... the remaining ruins surrounded by flowers... I, and a few friends, make a trip here every few years, to offer prayers at a pair of Graves, both people we knew..."

"A zombie filled marsh and a meadow, huh? Once I have enough GP, i think I'll make it part of my dungeon... but for now..." 

we stood inside my new dungeon Room. A long hall, it formed between Sebastian's room and the core room. On each end were dividers made of Silk, courtesy of Alice. I had paid for six beds, three on each end, And had Alice Manning a Counter with a sign that proclaimed {Dungeon Inn: 10 Copper A night, first night free, please do not Attack the Staff.}

"Its coming along nicely, yes?"

"Hmm. It's a bit Small, but I've seen worse Inn's. Honestly, Most Dungeon Masters are Agressive, so the fact that you are so mild and friendly is a bit shocking..."

"Heheh... I'm gonna Fleece Adventurers for all they've got... I wouldn't exactly call that friendly."

"But they'll still be alive, and probably obtain treasure... I'd say that's Friendly."

"I suppose..."

Seigfried's stomache growled... "That time already? I'd better Go make certain the Twins Eat. Excuse me!" 

A feeling of dread came over me... And I was grabbed from behind, A large breast pressed into my face!

"Time to feed my cute master♡! Open wide, baby!"

"Alice! I am NOT a baby! Stop! Seigfried! You COWARD!"

I struggled... but eventually had to give in... Alice was quite strong. The embarrassment was tempered only by the fact that I knew... She'd do this to THEM as well... it was bad enough when she cornered the Prince and Princess, but she also got Seigfried, calling him her "wrinkly baby"... I HAD to do something to stop this... the worst part is, her Milk contains a sleeping Agent... and... I can't... stay... awake...

I slept until dark. I awoke to find the other three in various beds in the inn... more victims, judging by the Webbing binding them. I checked my menu.

[G rank summons, options: Goblin, child. Kobold, child. Lesser GAAP. Tiny Spider. Horned Rabbit, Baby. Common Slime. Bonus Parameters 5GP]

I looked at it... And knew what I had to do...

The magic circle appeared.

"ALICE!"

"Yes, My Baby?"

"This is for you. Her name is Snow."

I held out the baby Rabbit, almost the size of a human infant.

"Eeek! A BABY! AN ACTUAL BABY! THANK YOU MASTER!" She grabbed the Rabbit from me, and immediately began feeding it. I'd paid Extra to give it Sleep Resistance. It wouldn't be a PERFECT solution, I knew... I'd still be subjected to such things... but at least it wouldn't be as often.

"Yes... my sweet baby... so soft and cute, almost as cute as master... I'll have to give her Special Treatment as a thank you... hehe... now I have TWO babies!"

I shuddered... Do your best, Snow. <I will, master! Mmm. Tastes good... I grow strong for master... I promise.> 

Oh! It can already communicate in words? Shocking. Its ahead of Sorbet and Sebastian in that regard, all I get from them are vague Impressions. I then noticed a new Window, when I looked back at them.

[Alice. Evolution Conditions: Give Birth, Raise three children. Becomes Arachne Broodmother.

Snow. Evolution conditions: Survive to Adulthood. Experience many things. Evolution options: Horned rabbit, horned Rabbit-Man, Queen Rabbit. Special Evolution: Arabbitne.]

Arabbitne? A fusion of horned rabbit and Arachne? I... "I want to see THAT! I wonder..."

I checked the others. And accidentally got a scary surprise.

[Sebastian. Evo-Conditions: Defend Master 5/10. Hold the line 1/1. Evolution options: Iron King. Dullahan. Steel guardian. Mythril guardian. Demonwall.

Sorbet. Evo-Conditions: Eat other slimes 0/500. Eat opponents 5/50. Absorb masters Fluids 10/10ML.]

That um... That must have been when I used a part of it as a pillow, and drooled on it... I hope. Then I glanced up at a noise, and nearly screamed.

[Seigfried. Evolution Conditions: DIE. Evolution Options: Death Guardian. Undead Knight. Wraith Knight. SPECIAL EVOLUTION: Demon Knight, Kill innocents 49/50. Rape a humanoid monster 1/1. Eat the heart of a child 0/1. Swear Loyalty to a Core Master 0/1. Betray A Friend 1/1. Angek knight, Sacrifice life to save others 0/2.]

Sir Seigfried has almost fallen to darkness. And what's that second Special option? Die TWICE? or Save 2 people with your sacrifice... moreover does he know? Are humans Supposed to have evolution options? The Twins didn't show any... 

[Far away, in a castle.]

"So, you see why I asked you three here?"

"Indeed, Dear Cousin-in-law, I do. And worry not, my siblings and I will bring my dear Niece and Nephew home safely. Right, Hope? Robin?"

"Indeed, Faith. Indeed."

"Of course we shall, my Dear Elder Sister. For the king... and mother, of course."

"Naturally. All we do is in mothers name. Onward, to the Wyvern stables."

"Wait! Let's bring Sigrun. Her grandfather IS involved, after all."

"Great idea, hope."

And so, Eina's Children were set on a collision course with Eina's Creation. And Sigrun, The kingdoms Valkyrie, would be Tagging Along.
