Aza and I are walking in the narrow pathway of an underground cave, using flame orbs to create light and to cancel the cold temperature.

We could hear the sounds of dripping water from a far, the sounds of monster moving in the dark. Since the stench of decaying corpses and monster waste was widely spread in the cave, I used wind magic to block the smell, both for myself and Aza.

While in the narrow pathways, bat like monsters, at the size of an adult human, appeared and tried to attack us.

“How foolish, melchsee’s lance.”[Yuu]

I created spears made from earth and used void enchant to give it a dark color and the ability to erase everything it touches. I sent the spears to the bats, creating holes in their body, making them fall lifeless unto the cold floor of the cave.

The sounds that the bats made attracted more monsters, cornering Aza and I in the narrow pathway.

“Are you ready Aza/hubby?”[Yuu/Aza]

I looked forward and she looked at the back. As the monsters got closer, we both cracked our knuckles and said. “Of course!”

I leaped forward, leaving my back to Aza, and set a space with high gravitational pull using force manipulation. The monsters near the area were pulled together and when I increased the force, they were crushed by their own weight. “Black hole”

Before releasing it, I sent a wind ball with void enchant to erase the remains of the monsters. “Dark Matter”

Monsters kept popping out one after another, so I created thick walls of earth and turned it to metal. I softened the ground below me and pulled myself downwards with earth magic. Once I was out, a thousand spikes formed on the walls and it slowly went closer and closer to the enemy, piercing them and crushing them to death.

I appeared next to the pillar created from my attack. “Iron maiden: enclosing box version.”

I could just destroy the whole cave, killing everything inside it, but that isn’t fun. I want to enjoy using my powers, only killing those that is within my sight.

When I went to Aza, she was also done on her side.

“That was fun.”[Aza]

“And there’s still more waiting for us in the deepest part of the cave.”[Yuu]

We both looked at each other, and since we couldn’t hold our happiness in check, we smiled. Before continuing, we bumped fist. “Let’s go, Aza.”

We are inside Mahudus Cave,a cave known as the home of powerful monsters and the passage way leading to the hardest dungeon in the world, the mirror dungeon.

Dungeons are places linked to this world through teleport gates, and are usually the cause of problems in this world. They just randomly pop out somewhere and when they open, monsters inside the dungeon will crawl out and enter this world.

It’s a major problem for the world, and the ones responsible for destroying them are adventurers. They enter in groups and destroy the core of the dungeon, making it collapse and vanish.

Despite the harms it might cause, the Goddesses remain silent, unless a dungeon dangerous enough to destroy the world shows up. Aza said they welcome foreign objects, since it usually brings new stuff that might be interesting to them.

They don’t need to help since the people themselves solve the problem, and when that isn’t enough, the champions that they have summoned can help.

When we got to the deepest part, we examined the surroundings. The path was filled with monsters, and at the back was the gate leading to the mirror dungeon. Also, standing near the gate was its gatekeeper.

Each dungeon has a gate keeper when they first show up, and only by defeating the gate keepers will people gain access to the dungeon.

“Aza, let’s do it.” I said while raising my left arm.

“As you wish hubby.” She said as she extended her arms forward.

We remained silent for a few seconds until she created water from her arms. She created more and more water and soon shaped it into a serpent. I on the other hand created lightning on my arms, whenever it gets big, I compress it and whenever I do, it changes color.

“I’m ready when you are hubby.”[Aza]

“Now!”[Yuu]

She released the water serpent, and when it was no longer connected to her, I shot the lightning to it. The two attacks fused together, creating a black, lightning water serpent, killing everything it passes through.

“Perfect!”[Yuu/Aza]

Again, I can do that on my own, but it looks more awesome if two people combined their attacks. Besides, Aza looks happy whe-...nevermind.

When the attack got close to the gate keeper, it got canceled. We didn’t do it, the gate keeper just waved the gigantic spear on it’s hand and destroyed our attack.

The gate keeper was a humanoid monster with a height of thirty feet or higher. It’s body was made from stone, and there was lava flowing on the gap between the stones of its body. It's like a smaller version of a titan from god of war.

The reason the mirror dungeon is called the hardest is because of this guy. It has been stopping parties from entering the dungeon. The only time a group was able to enter was when a whole battalion came with them to stall for time. They didn’t destroy the dungeon though, and only one was able to survive to tell what the inside looked like, a world made of mirrors.

Unlike the other dungeons, the people don’t know much about the mirror dungeon, making it a good place to venture. Though we won’t go there today. Our only target is the gatekeeper.

It’s been a month since we became an adventurer and we only just entered the A rank a few days ago. Because of our performance in the first ranking test, they let us do A rank mission even when we were only E rank. Letting us advance quickly.

It has gotten a bit boring going to faraway places to get points, so we took this one, a mission where we’ll instantly become S rank when we accomplish it.

After that, we’ll live quietly until I win against the other two champions, who has yet to show up. If this place is the hardest, might as well save it for last.

I’ll let the other parties venture it first, since in the end, we of Hakko Ryodan will be the ones to destroy it.

“So hubby, what shoud we do?” She said while smiling merrily.

Whenever we travel, especially when we fight together, she acts differently than normal. She’s less aggressive on her advances, she literally doesn’t act perverted, and simply becomes happy. I think this side of hers is good, if only she’s always like this...

“Isn’t the answer obvious?” I said while smirking.

We stared at each other’s eyes for a few seconds and laughed. Once we finished, we both leaped to the titan.

I landed on the titan’s toe and ran up to it’s arm. Once I reached it, I punched it’s arm with five percent of my divinity, separating it from its body.

It tried to push me off by blowing at me, but I blocked the wind with my own wind magic. After that, I went down to its thighs and continuously kicked it until it got cut off. By the time I finished, Aza was also done, leaving the titan with no limbs.

We jumped at the opposite and said. “Are you still ok Aza/hubby?”

We chuckled a bit after that and relaxed our arms. “Aza, do you still remember the line I told you?”

“Of course, hubby.”[Aza]

We jumped at the same time and swung our fist to the titan’s head.

“Let’s end this with a bang!”[Yuu/Aza]

Aza used all of her strength in the punch, while I used ten percent of my divinity to match her strength. The titan’s head was easily pulverized and once our hands touched, we stopped.

“Perfect!”[Yuu/Aza]

“That was awesome!”[Aza]

“Damn right it is.”[Yuu]

We laughed again while we were in the middle of the titan’s corpse. Doesn’t it look like we’re psychopaths?

After that, we took the titan’s eyes as proof that we killed it, and headed to the surface. Since it would be faster if I flew, once we got out of the cave, I carried Aza and flew back to the nearest city, which is Geata city, the fourth city we’ve traveled to.

“Hubby, since you’re holding me so passionately, why not go further and kiss me?”[Aza]

Great, she’s back to her old self...”Want me to drop you?”

“I’m sorry! It was a joke!”

While she closed her eyes as she shouted, I moved my head closer to hers. Once she opened her eyes, I gave her what she wanted. I made my lips touch hers for one second. “Happy now?”

Her cheeks turned bright red, and she stopped moving for a few seconds. After that, with her face still flushed, she said. “W-was t-that a k-k-kiss?”

“Yes it is. What, You don’t like it?” On the second thought...WHY DID I DO THAT? DON’T TELL ME I BECAME A LOLICON WITHOUT ME NOTICING!

We continued traveling on the sky, with our cheeks still red, and with both of us remaining silent. Hey! Be noisy like you always do! Say you want more, say you want to go further, say something so I could scold you and get out of this awkward situation!

Author’s Note

It was fun writing, despite being an amateur, despite having an awful flow, despite the grammar mistakes, despite not knowing the difference between showing and telling, I was able to make people happy...I hope someone was actually happy reading my fiction.
