YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia

Chapter 198: A Time of Leisure

Chirp Chirp Chirp

The sweet melody of chirps and rustles danced around the air, the gentle sunshine beating gracing the verdant gardens as the harmonious fragrance of flowers wafted through the air. It was yet another wonderful morning.

It was a familiar scene and harmony yet it also felt very distant, one Grey had almost forgotten after staying in the Labyrinth for a whole month. He could only stretch one of his hands towards the ceiling, grasping it slowly, his eyes staring ever so intently.

Well, it wasn't the only one he missed. Sleeping soundly beside him was his cute and beautiful girlfriend, her soft and pretty face basking by the sunlight. Seeing her face, his heart couldn't stop beating wildly, warmth flooding his entirety as he landed her a gentle kiss on the forehead.

"Looks like she's really tired, huh..." ［Grey］

It wasn't the first time Grey had kissed her yet Yuna's eyes still didn't even twitch a little, only continuing to sleep in the warmth and comfort of the bed, tired from the days they spent in fiery depths of hell.

Slowly, Grey got up from the bed and fixed himself with a little bit of magic. He then took a change of clothes for himself and prepared himself for the day. It has been a long time since he cooked generously, so he was looking forward to using the Royal Kitchen once again.

"Hmm... What should I cook for today... Beef... Pork... No, I should use some rare meats and herbs... How about the Garuda meat from before..." ［Grey］

Mumbles and whispers echoed in the air as Grey took a look at the ingredients they had available. Keeping in mind the sleeping Yuna's favorite dishes, Grey planned the perfect meal, full of dishes, drinks, and desserts which suits his beloved's taste.

'Right... There's still these, huh...' ［Grey］

It was also then that he realized that he has yet to organize the things they got from the Labyrinth of Flames. Just seeing how many there were, he could already taste the difficulties ahead of him. He was starting to regret hoarding all that he saw.

Of course, there was also the fact that they have yet to give Amelia and Julius their rewards. He was thinking of giving them Legendary-Grade weapons each, an absurd idea only he and Yuna would think of so lightly.

Most of all, he has also yet to give Yuna the Storage Ring he found in the boss' treasure room. Not only was it useful, it was also beautiful as well. Its cold, platinum color along with the small, yet intricate gems and patterns engraved on it. It was something which could only be called a masterpiece.

"Mmng... Gwey... Hmm... Grey...?" ［Yuna］

Just in time, the sleeping beauty had started to awake, turning her head left and right as she searched for Grey with her sleepy eyes. It was hard to imagine she was the same girl who could massacre monsters with ease. Rather, she only looked like a clumsy and silly little girl.

Yuna continued bobbing her head up and down, and swaying left and right, her grogginess getting the better of her. Still half asleep, she kept on mumbling Grey's name yet unable to find him even when he was in front of her.

"Grey... Huh...? Where... Grey...? Grey...?" ［Yuna］

Cute as ever, Yuna soon locked towards Grey's direction. But since all she saw was a hazy blob, she only tilted her head as she stared at him with confusion, all the while instinctively holding the blanket over her bare body. Such an act only served to make Grey chuckle lightly.

"Yeah, yeah, it's me. Are you hungry?" ［Grey］

"Mmn... No, not hungry...." ［Yuna］

Answered Yuna as she rubbed her eyes like a little kitten, soon mumbling intangible words not even herself understood, yawning softly from time to time. Soon enough, Yuna then patted near the bedside, signaling Grey to sit beside her.
