Meri.

The daughter May bore, and simultaneously a 'human' born from me. I found it difficult to think about this existence, so I deliberately avoided meeting her.

"Daddy, where are you going?"

Meri looked up at me with an innocent face. The large sagging breasts under the draped robe resembled May, and the slightly drooping eyes resembled Mary.

'To check information, there's only that method.'

Until now, the only way to check someone's information was to touch their erogenous zones. Occasionally I could visually confirm the opponent's rank and level, but I was afraid to check Meri.

'Ah, I'm an idiot.'

"Wait a moment."

I pulled up 'view subordinates' from the system. Starting with Lime, all subordinates in the dungeon appeared in detail, and at the very end, Meri proudly had her name listed.

'Detailed information.'

***

***

Meri was an ordinary human mage. She could grow 5 levels higher than May, but that was it.

"Meri."

"Yeah."

"How old are you really right now?"

"Are you asking about my physical age or my real age?"

Meri tilted her head and asked me back. At that, I realized the identity of the 21 years old in the information.

'It's physical age.'

Meri wasn't even a day old since birth, but her body was a perfect adult comparable to May or Mary.

'She's born in the body's prime state!'

Hatching can accelerate growth. Just as hatching harpies becomes new adult harpies, maybe there's some special method in the magic circle that accelerates time.

'I'll ask Estu next time she appears.'

And being an adult might mean 'that' is possible. I checked the information with a hopeful yet cautious heart.

"...Meri."

"Yeah?"

"Never go where the harpies are. Understand?"

"Why?"

Meri asked back again with an innocent face. I was very troubled about how to answer, but Meri smiled and nodded.

"Okay! If daddy says no, I won't."

"...First, let's change that title."

The title daddy still feels very awkward.

"From now on, call me master or chieftain."

"Why? Can't I call daddy daddy? Are you embarrassed of me?"

"No. It's not that, but it's a bit..."

I was scared some might feel jealous. I've already planted seeds several times, but I really don't want unnecessary power struggles within the dungeon.

"Hmm.... Okay! Master.... No, that's awkward, so I'll just call you daddy. Why would I call daddy master or chieftain when I should call daddy daddy? As a dungeon member, master is correct, but then doesn't it feel too distant from me?"

"...."

Perhaps because she's a mage's daughter, she's very logical. And with her occupation being 'witch,' Meri tried to persuade me with logical words.

"...Phew. Fine. But be careful not to anger the other mothers."

"There are many mothers?"

"There will be tons."

"Got it. Then that's what I'll do. I know, it's called 'establishing hierarchy,' right?"

"...."

Meri clenched her fist and showed motivation. Perhaps because she's a human born in the dungeon thanks to the system, Meri was already a proper adult.

"Meri."

"Yeah."

"Uh.... What, by chance do you want to do 'that' or anything?"

"Sex?"

"Hey."

I was embarrassed by Meri's explicit expression. But Meri whispered very softly as if teasing my embarrassment.

"Daddy. I know the way I was born is special, but because of that, I also know what happened to mom, you know?"

"...I'm a bit sorry about that."

"No, no need to apologize at all. This world is survival of the fittest anyway, right? You don't know what'll happen to daddy or me if we lose."

"Thanks for thinking that way."

It seemed difficult to judge this world with modern sensibilities.

"Moreover.... Daddy. I inherited 'memories' and 'skills' from mom, you know?"

"Gasp."

Isn't this not my daughter but just May reincarnated as a daughter? I even had that thought.

"Hehe, so I know very well how I was born. Don't worry. I'm not that promiscuous. But."

Meri sneakily clung to me and looked up.

"If daddy allows it, can I go around seducing guys stronger than me? Ones with higher levels or higher ranks than me. Ah, even better if they're handsome!"

"...."

Through this conversation, I was certain.

"The reason you told me not to go to the harpy sisters is because of the stud uncles, right? Don't worry. I'm not that hungry. Hehe."

Judging by her appetite, she was definitely my daughter.

***

After talking with Meri.

I raided the harpies' barracks according to plan.

"Asleep?"

"Oh, you came, master?"

"Did you... come?"

The harpies calmly welcomed me, and the stud hunters were startled and began watching my reactions. Unlike my thoughts, they weren't mating with each other anymore.

"Why not?"

"Hmm.... Nothing more was coming out from each other. So we were resting."

The harpies had piled up a considerable amount of eggs in one corner of the barracks. Just scanning with my eyes, it looked well over 9.

"Where's our leader?"

"I wore her out, so she's resting in my bed now."

"Ah...."

The harpies exclaimed while scanning below me with their eyes. The stud hunters sat on the beds in upright postures like recruits, but their eyes kept scanning my lower body.

"You guys rest today. All harpies assemble. You can still fly even after doing that, right?"

"Oh my. Are you looking down on us? Rather, that's what we want. We've been itching because we can't really fly inside the dungeon."

"Then perfect. Hey."

I called the stud hunters.

"We're going to raid the village now, so follow me."

"What? Even so, we're a bit...."

"I'll spare your families."

I showed generosity for the hunters. But the hunters looked at each other and hemmed and hawed.

"Why?"

"No. Uh...all three of us are bachelors, so we have no families."

"Our village is a slash-and-burn village, so the four missing young guys were all of them. No babies either."

"Oho."

So they're all humans I can kill. But I had no intention of killing at all.

'I'll make a human village outside the dungeon.'

And have Meri live with them, so even if the dungeon collapses, Meri will survive mixed among the humans.

There are some dangers, but they were living in a slash-and-burn village anyway.

They'll live outside the dungeon so they won't be included in capacity, and in exchange for me guaranteeing their safety, they'll provide some labor along with the ghouls.

"Then let's bring them all first and think about it."

"Uh, what if there are those who resist?"

"If they resist? Then isn't that obvious?"

I opened my mouth wide and closed it. The stud hunters shuddered and cowered.

"Hehehe. If you really don't want to see it, can't be helped. But fill the headcount. Even if you don't have strength to shake your hips, you have strength to move, right?"

Even if there are about 30 hunters, I have combat power equal to that number.

"Two hours rest. Then we attack after that."

Night raid.

Tonight, I will take all personnel from the dungeon and attack the hunters' slash-and-burn village.

***

At that time, the slash-and-burn village.

"What'll you do? Going back?"

"They probably all died with the chief. Are they people who'd flee somewhere leaving their belongings at home like this?"

The village survivors gathered in the clearing and each stated their opinions. They worried about the rescue party's safety considering the affection they'd lived together with, but only worried.

"Then what do we do? The lord's soldiers even came to scout. Won't the lord send soldiers?"

"Not lord, but lady lord. How long has it been since the change and you still say lord? Hey there, former captain sir. What'll you do?"

Everyone's gaze gathered on the hunter with a scar on his face. He crossed his arms and set the mood, then scratched his cheek and spoke.

"...We should run?"

"Again? You held out for months saying you wanted to taste that witch once."

"Ah well, who knew a woman with a daughter would mate with the chief? She clung to him so much I was embarrassed."

"That's what they say, what do you think, chief's wife?"

"...I don't know, fuck."

The chief's wife clung to the hunter called captain and chewed jerky. As if her appearance until yesterday was thorough acting, the chief's wife showed a completely different appearance.

"I'm just curious about my son's life or death."

"Why? For revenge?"

"If he's dead, revenge, if he's alive, I'll take him and live. It's not like I wanted to give birth anyway."

The chief's wife's words, spitting phlegm on the ground, were hardly normal. But the hunters were accustomed to such atmosphere.

"Hehe, must've suffered pretending to be modest?"

"Shut up. What can I do when that guy's swordsmanship and dick are fucking amazing? Just shut up and decide what to do. Running, or holding out here?"

The 30 hunters looked at each other and watched reactions. Having each survived alone and gathered at the slash-and-burn village, they were very accustomed to acting individually.

"Do I have to dig land and build a house alone again...?"

"Still, wouldn't it be better to do something together?"

"Whether arson or plunder, it's better to do it together. Hey, Scarface. You be the leader."

"You're giving orders to be leader, you fuck. Are you the leader?"

The hunters raised their voices and growled. When the chief was around, they at least pretended to follow the chief's words and opinions united, but without someone to mediate, it was utter chaos.

"Ugh. Lady. Since you were the leader's wife, you decide. What'll we do?"

"Fuck, why ask me.... Shit, I was trying to coast and do nothing next to the chief, why are you doing this to me.... Ha, I don't know. I'm just going to sleep today. What if they come back tonight? If they don't return by tomorrow morning, I'm fleeing."

"What if the lady lord sends soldiers?"

"I don't know! I'm sleeping! My skin gets damaged if I stay up this late!"

The chief's wife huffed and entered her room. Other hunters also shrugged, troubled.

"Really what do we do?"

"...I don't know! I'll think after sleeping."

While there were those boldly returning home, there were also those hesitantly watching others then hurriedly returning to their homes.

"Uncle, packing?"

"I have to. I'm fleeing as soon as I pack. This doesn't seem to suit me. I'll go to the battlefield and swing my sword."

The hunters each made different choices. And among them, the man with a scar in his eye scanned the surroundings then strode across the clearing.

"Where are you going?"

"She said she wants to sleep."

The man twisted the corner of his mouth and pointed at the chief's house door with his chin. The doorknob wasn't locked.

"That crazy bastard. Even with a scar in his eye, he's like that, ugh."

"If they return, that bastard's head will fly off, I bet my silver coin."

"That's only if they return. Will they? They all died."

The hunters all returned to their homes. Gloomy darkness descended deeply on the slash-and-burn village, and only sounds of creaking beds, snoring, and sneaking out in the night echoed through the village.

Rustle, rustle.

On the cliff overlooking the slash-and-burn village.

Kuhup, puhuu.

Rough breathing echoed from atop the cliff.

***

"It's not allowed. Forest Guardian Luna, return to your patrol zone."

"...Yes."

At the 1st Elder's firm voice, Luna nodded heavily. Guardians had to absolutely follow elders' orders, and what Luna asked for was actually close to unreasonable.

"She's a child who left the forest herself. Hardly worth calling an elf anymore. Did you forget what happens to one who voluntarily leaves the forest once? Did you forget what happened to your mother?"

"...I'm sorry. I was meddling."

Luna ground her teeth. The 1st Elder looked down at Luna, clicked her tongue, and turned.

"Don't have foolish thoughts. In these times when war with the Demon King's army is intensifying, acting arbitrarily is unforgivable even for you. Understand?"

"I'll keep it in mind."

After the 1st Elder who gave the high-handed order left, Luna trembled while clutching the dirt with her hands.

'There are monsters not far from the forest. Lune might be kidnapped there, but why is the 1st Elder...?'

Luna ran to her patrol zone. The night air settled coldly, and the forest was quiet.

"...She told me to return to the patrol zone."

Then I'll just claim I expanded the patrol zone. It's closing your eyes and pretending, but conversely, even the 1st Elder couldn't do anything to Luna, one of the forest guardians.

'At most, she'll tell me to be disciplined for about a year.'

Since Lune disappeared, there might be someone targeting other elves.

So let's check. The place to go is the cave where corpse monsters appeared.

Luna very carefully began moving by climbing trees.
