My Dungeon Life – Chapter 1554-1556

Chapter 1554

I had never actually ridden on a ship before. Well, there was that one time, but I didn’t really ride on it, as it was mostly stationary. I also wouldn’t consider that mithril boat that I had finally managed to relocate into my soul world to be the same thing. While I did know how to swim, I was no good with large bodies of water. They were deep and made me extremely nervous. I even suggested that I carry Eliana to Tearfall Isles to avoid this boat trip, but that would have to involve me jumping and flying for a few hours, and I wasn’t sure that would be safe for a pregnant woman.

I could also go on without her and then make a portal, but Eliana put that option down too. She needed to be seen going to the island. It wasn’t just a matter of whatever was quickest. We were ambassadors now, and we had to make an impression. If we arrived in a special manner that no one else did, it would immediately raise suspicion and could even cause the talks to fall apart. Well, I wasn’t a politician, so I just took Eliana’s word for it.

I even considered summoning Elaya for advice, but she wasn’t well-liked among the Ost Republic. Not only was she a dungeon creature dripping with miasma, but she had once fought and killed a lot of demi-humans during the war. The Osterians weren’t the only ones who followed Demon King Aberis, and many of them had long memories. It was only a bit over twenty years ago, after all.

Therefore, I could only watch with a sigh as the shore disappeared on the horizon. The dock we had teleported to wasn’t even in the south. Those docks were controlled by the local factions. It turned out the south of Ost Republic was similar to the wilderness with a dash of Dioshin. An assortment of smaller tribes had gathered there, and they were only considered part of the Ost Republic in name. Thus, we had to sail along the coast for half the distance of the Ost Republic before crossing the channel leading to the Tearfall Isles.

There was one other reason that Eliana wanted to do this. She wanted to see the damage along the coast. Just like Aberis, the Ost Republic was also being bombarded by recent piracy, but they didn’t have an army to send to protect it. It was because of such attacks that Aberis didn’t help with Dioshin. It was partially my fault that this country wasn’t able to protect itself. At the very least, I owed it to them to see the damage that was done.

The ship suddenly lurched, leaning to the right. This was a much smaller ship than that other one, and at the time I hadn’t been focusing on the motion of the sea. Did ships always bob and rock like that. Feeling a bit green, I decided I might go below and rest until I gained my sea legs. As I headed into the ship, a small woman emerged from within the hold. As soon as her eyes landed on me and she threw out her finger.

“It’s you, the blasphemer!”

“You’re on this ship too?” I blinked.

Of all people, it was Mary’s sister, the leader of the church of the daughter.

“Men, arrest him immediately!” She cried out.

“Eh? Why?” I responded as a group of men who appeared to be paladins came filing out and surrounding me.

Was it just me, or did all of the paladins for the church of the daughter seem to be slightly overweight, had greasy hair, and give creepy vibes like you weren’t sure you’d be comfortable touching their hands? Before I experienced stranger danger from the surrounding paladins, Eliana had appeared and called out.

“What is going on here, Anne?” She demanded.

“He started it!” The girl accused.

“What did I do?”

“H-he shows with a bunch of big-breasted women and flaunts them around! It’s well established that Deek Deekson is a boob-lover.”

“I already said it’s because I’m pregnant they got bigger!” Eliana broke into tears, causing the other woman’s anger to slip and for panic to set it.

The woman named Anne held up her hands, desperately trying to soothe the crying woman. “It’s okay! It’s okay! You’re bringing another daughter into this world… you’re doing god’s work. Some women must make this sacrifice so the rest of us may stay small-chested and pure.”

“It could be a son…” I muttered.

“Ah! See… he’s still blaspheming! He wrecked two holy weddings I was proceeding over, and all of the problems in the Ost Republic can be laid at his feet.”

“One of those weddings was my own… Waaaahhhh…” Eliana started crying some more, causing the other woman to panic some more.

“Yes, it’s true, you almost were forced to marry a man you didn’t love, but now you’re with the man you want, isn’t that better?” The smaller woman looked like she was about to break into tears too.

As for me, I was wondering if when I found Raissa if she’d be like this too. Raissa never cried or expressed any discomfort. She would suffer anything while looking up eagerly and wagging her tail. I really which I knew where she had run off to. It still pained me that she was missing, as was our child. I didn’t even have a trace to follow her with, which meant that she was probably in a dungeon.

I had gotten the hang of using the remnant of the slave bond to get a general direction to follow, but it wasn’t strong enough to work if they were in a dungeon, which was seemingly separated from the mana of this world. That was also the same reason I didn’t know exactly where Salicia or Carmine was. At least I was currently on my way to Carmine.

“Master, I have finished making your room.” Cici appeared from the same doorway that Anne and the others emerged from.

“I also checked for bad guys! Master will be safe with me on the prowl!” Chance added.

“Wh-what is this?” Anne frowned.

“This is my bodyguard and my maid. I guess you can call them my party for the moment.” I introduced them casually.

I wasn’t even sure why I was bringing them along. Cici was supposed to be cleaning the capital mansion and Chance wasn’t a bodyguard at all. I supposed I had just gotten used to having an unintrusive entourage around. I told myself I was seasoning them. We could dive in the dungeon, I could level them a bit, and then when they returned, they’d grow into their positions.

Anne’s eyes widened as she looked at the two little girls. Then, her eyes dropped to their chests. A small smile formed on her lips.

“I see… perhaps there is still hope for your soul yet. Blessed be…”

“I don’t like the look you’re giving me, and I don’t want your blessings!”

Chapter 1556

“I have no interest in having sex with them.” I hissed at Anne.

Anne’s eyes grew big. “Was that even a question? You’ve let too much of the church of the Mother sully your mind! We don’t ascribe to such improper fornication! Men… tell him our motto!”

“Yes, Loli, no touch!” The men cried out in unison.

The two little girls looked around in confusion, and I was glad to see that they had no clue what she was talking about. Who would have guessed that the church of the daughter was a puritan church? The church of the mother seemed pretty sex positive. I supposed that sex created more mothers, and pregnant women’s breasts grew, so sexualization was a good thing.

However, for the counter church, women with small breasts were revered, but they were also rather chaste about it. As she said earlier, women were allowed to get pregnant and have babies to make daughters, but it was seen as a sacrifice, rather than a privilege. That said, some of the paladins were leering at the two children I brought along creepily. I decided after that it would be best that I took them to the cabin and we remained separated.

They may have said the words, but I had a concern that they wouldn’t honor them if they got one of the girls alone. Thankfully, they seemed to have no interest in Eliana who was too robust for their tastes and seemed to revere Anne.

Thus, I had filed the girls in our room, and we waited out the journey. That might have ended up being a mistake. The peace talks would begin in a week, and the journey down to Tearfall isles would take three days. That meant that there were three days I needed to survive on this rocking boat. Perhaps, I should have constructed my own. I could go to Earth and buy a proper boat, or even build one hears out of mithril and other oars. I could probably develop some ironclad steamboat or something if I wanted it bad enough.

It wasn’t like it was bad enough that I was getting sick. It was Chance who turned out to be unable to handle the sea. Shortly after she was certain I was safe, she started turning green, and then she ended up with her head out the window vomiting. Hearing her gurgling stomach and the sound of her yacking did not help me by much. I was sure if I had brought the other girls along, they would have kept my mind off the boat so much that I wouldn’t have even noticed.

Eliana didn’t seem to have any trouble at all. Of course, she was sicking up every morning, which only caused Chance to get sick as well, but after her morning routine, she was fine for the rest of the day. I thought about grabbing her and having fun with her to keep my mind off the rocking with another form of rocking.

However, she shut it down by saying that it might hurt the baby. I was pretty sure that wasn’t true, but I didn’t push it anyway. I was only a little serious. With the two little girls, we’d need to do something like slip into my soul world, and Alysia had only revealed very recently that when I was having sex in my soul world, my real body had an erection and a perverted look on my face the entire time. I didn’t want to subject them to that.

Besides, with Anne on board, she was looking for a reason to condemn me, and I didn’t want to add fornication to her list of sins. As a result, the first day passed by very slowly. I barely even managed to get any sleep that night. However, the morning of the second day finally brought something to take my mind off the bleak ride.

“Pirates!” A voice shouted from the deck.

Now, this could get interesting.
