Because it would be too much for the people to take, we decided to keep the whole Thor incident a secret. The dwarven city felt the tremors but didn't saw any god descending, so it was easy to just not talk about it. Although I did had to adress the matter of me being slightly taller than before.
The entire city was alright, except for a few things that fell. Thankfully it wasn't anything they were not prepared for. Dwarves live inside mountains so they're always prepared for everything. The ceiling suddenly falling apart due to a tremor was something they always prepared for, so their entire infrastructure was earthquake-proof for the most part.
Ruby managed to keep the enormous crowd of people amazed by our comeback, but we saw hundreds if not thousands of people praising us as heroes. The moment we conquered the dungeon the entire miasma surrounding it disappeared and it was finally safe.
The fear of this place to the inhabitants was quite clear, finally having this dungeon completed lifted off a heavy burden off everyone's hearts. It was a nice thing overall, but seriously, these people wouldn't let me relax!
"Amazing, is she Maria, the one that completed the dungeon?!"
"She's so tall and beautiful! Wait, is she a Giantess?"
"I've never seen a Giantess with such a clear white skin before…"
"All her friends are strong as well…"
"Please give me your autograph!"
"Can we take a selfie together?!"
"Maria! Please hold my hand!"
"Step on me!"
There were all sorts of people, some were quite the perverts…
"Everyone please calm down!" Sighed Ruby. "We're going through a lot, they're all tired!"
The Viscountess barely managed to carry us to her manor this time, which was even fancier than Aquamarine's manor. She seemed very pleased and happy of our conquest. Though it was slightly hard to keep the whole Thor incident a secret. Especially for Helga and the other dwarves.
"I see, so you're saying there was a powerful Undead Dragon as the final boss?! That must have been a really hard fight… At least A Rank in strength, isn't it?" Wondered Ruby.
"Well… yeah." I sighed.
"We would prefer… not to talk about that fight." Sighed Lucifer. "For personal reasons."
"I-I see… Did something bad happened there?" Ruby asked the dwarves, expecting more answers from them.
"W-Well… there was a ton of undead, many dwarves. So it was sad to see them." Said Helga.
"Yeah it was a painful experience." Blackard nodded.
"Very sad, but we got through anyways… through sheer determination!"
"Defeating the boss was thanks to Maria and her party, we mostly didn't participate as we stayed outside the boss room fighting the Undead dwarves."
"It was really harsh but we pulled through."
"I see…" Ruby sighed. "It must have been hard for everyone. Sorry for asking this out of nowhere."
Ruby then looked back at me.
"But Maria why are you taller out of the blue?" She tilted her head.
"W-Well… I leveled up a lot and kind of got… a growth spurt." I said.
"T-That's weird…" Ruby said. "But well, I don't really know how well human's work. But maybe you're half giantess? I've heard that people that are half-giant sometimes don't develop their giant bloodline abilities until they grow strong enough through leveling up."
Oh wow that's an incredibly convenient excuse!
"Maybe! Yeah, that could be it." I said. "Perhaps a distant ancestor of my family was a giant. Though I cannot confirm, I do have some sort of Skill named Giant's Physique."
"That must be it! Quite honestly, now that you're so tall it makes you even hotter." Laughed Ruby rather seductively.
"A-Ahahaha…" I laughed nervously, trying to contain the pressure of my lovers intense glares.
I already have three of them, I think this is my limit. They probably can't accept someone new, nor I have any interest. Ruby is really flirty though. She's surely testing me…
"Mama I am hungy!" Nyx began to complain while crawling over my legs after being carried around by her father.
"Oh right! Very well then, maidservants, manservants, quickly make the biggest feast we can for our dungeon conquerors! Tomorrow morning, Maria, we'll discuss what we can do with the dungeon. Giving you all of the dungeon's rights might be a bit too hard because this one is not in a different mountain, and is right in the middle of the territory of our country." She sighed. "But I will do my best to give you most of it."
"I understand how it works. As long as I get the managing rights I think we can handle it." I nodded.
I had already half-expected this to happen anyways. This dungeon is different from the other, undiscovered one, and it was always in here in the middle of everyone's territories. The viscounts of the Dwarven Country are zealous and fight one another for profits a lot, there's no way they won't use any available card to obtain a piece of this tasty and big cake.
Unlike the other where I used the excuse of it being in a different territory and undiscovered until I found it, this one dungeon's completely different, so I have to abide with their rules… Well, that doesn't mean I cannot abuse my position as the dungeon master and the dungeon conqueror to obtain as many benefits as possible.
Sure, I'll give them a piece of the cake, but the rest of the cake will be all mine! And if you want another piece, you'll have to pay for it quite nicely as well!
Anyways, tonight we had a big feast and ate to our heart's contents. Ruby made sure to feed us really well to get herself into our good side. I was missing my village though, so I'll probably be moving back soon.
And of course, as the night came, I had a lot of fun with my lovers. They were quite fascinated with my new size, and I completely dominated Lucifer as usual.
However, as I finally decided to do some shut eye.
I… found myself in a very weird dream.
For some reason, there were tons of gigantic souls glaring at me from everywhere!
"Welcome, our newest sister, to the Titan Records."
