The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Anneshia was finally able to fulfill her objective of getting rid of the shackles holding her back. That was a very joyous occasion for her and she started to celebrate it by hugging Rein, Stella, Kagura and Tasha.

After that was done, all the members of the conquerors congratulated her for her freedom. Then they set up a camp in this place and decided to have a little party to celebrate it.

Rein took out his portable house and started cooking. He was going to give his best to prepare the perfect and super tasty food to welcome Anneshia back to the outside world. Rein was an amazing cook, so everyone was looking forward to seeing his handy work.

He obviously did not disappoint them. As Anneshia had not eaten anything for so many years, Rein wanted her to experience various kinds of food so that she could please her taste buds with all kinds of food and that way she would also be able to find her own taste.

Not everyone liked every type of food. Your favorite food could be horrible for someone. So, by giving Anneshia the choice of various kinds of food, Rein wanted her to find the type of food she personally liked.

For that reason, Rein focused on varieties instead of quantity. He prepared foods from many different regions and nations. He even asked his catkin wife who worked at a restaurant for recipes he did not know about. After working very hard, he was able to create a total of 38 types of dishes and all of them were very highly liked by the people from whose culture those foods had originated from.

Anneshia tasted all the foods and she was satisfied with the choices she was given. There were a couple of dishes that she did not enjoy but everything else was a hit for her. So it turned out that Anneshia's taste buds were very refined and she was able to enjoy almost all kinds of foods.

After the eating was done, Tasha asked Rein for some wine. Rein himself was not very fond of it as his physic passively nullified the alcohol so he had no idea about what the feeling of slight intoxication was. And he also did not particularly like the taste of wine, so he was not a big fan of it.

Stella was also on Rein's side and did not like to drink much. But her reason was completely opposite of Rein. Her tolerance for alcohol was very low so she got drunk very easily. Stella always liked to stay in her best form and drunkenness was the opposite of that. This was the reason why she was not a fan of alcoholic drinks.

As for Kagura, she was also unable to get drunk because of her status as an eternal grade item. For that reason she was also not a fan of drinks. So, the only person who liked to drink in Rein's group was Tasha. As she was trained to be cautious all the time, when she got drunk her concentration and caution would drop.

That way she could feel that she had truly left behind that life of hers and that was something she enjoyed a lot.

Now, it turned out that Tasha had managed to find a drinking partner as Anneshia also liked to drink. So far it was only Rein who would be staying with her but as he never got drunk and lost his caution, he was not a very fun drinking partner. But that was a trouble of the past as Anneshia was really a very good drinking partner.

And that's how everyone spent a merry night together.

...

After partying very hard, everyone had fallen asleep in the same room where they were having fun. So Rein carried everyone and put them in the large bed for them to sleep properly. Kagura had turned into her sword form and already had entered Rein's inventory which was like her home.

The last person left to carry was Anneshia. As she was not Rein's lover, he decided to take her in a different guest room. As he left her on the bed and covered her with the sheet, suddenly he felt a powerful pull and fell in her.

This pull was so fast and powerful that even someone like Rein was unable to resist it at all. Soon he found himself falling on Anneshia's soft body had that had suddenly appeared when her armour disappeared.

Even when she was having fun, Anneshia was always inside her armour. As she had merged with her Eternal grade armour Rein had not found it to be strange. But now it looked like Anneshia was always able to remove the armour as she pleased but just willingly did not do it.

As Rein was thinking that, suddenly two hands wrapped behind him and he was hugged tightly. Who else could it be if not Anneshia. After hugging Rein, she started to whisper lightly into his ears.

"Rein, thank you very much for saving me and thanks a lot for allowing me to taste so many delicious foods. You're always taking care of me and I love that about you. I also love the fact that you're never willing to back out. I loved it when you stand before me, an undefeatable opponent with your head held high. What I want to say is that, I love you Rein, will you marry me ?"

Rein was a little bit dumbfounded. He had expected that Anneshia might have romantic feelings toward him just as he had toward her but what he had not expected at all was the marriage proposal. So even though he was surprised, he was not sad at all. Actually on the contrary, he was extremely happy.

All of Rein's lovers were his wives anyway. After having a relationship, Rein was not going to end it for any condition. So becoming Rein's lover was equivalent to consenting to spending one's whole life together. So, Anneshia's proposal of getting married was actually a very good and happy thing for Rein.

But Rein could not just simply accept it. He needed to show his sincerity too and he also wanted to show Anneshia that it was not only her who was in love with Rein, Rein was also madly in love with Anneshia.

"That should be my line. I love how innocent you're even with so much power. I also love all the vivid expressions you always make. You're irresistible to me with your sincere and straightforward behaviour. So, please allow me to accept your love and accept my love too."

After he was done saying so, they looked at each other's eyes and their lips met. Then Anneshia spoke up.

"From now on, I'm no longer Anneshia, the princess of the Annasteliana Empire. Just call me Anna from now on. I have been reborn and I want to start a brand new life."

"Okay, Anna."

"Thank you, Rein."

As they called each other's names their lips met once again. Then after kissing for a few more times Anna said in a charming voice -

"Rein, Take me."

After that the bed of the guest room shook a lot and a new member had joined Rein's harem.
