"Well, I think so."

The person who was in the room was the only daughter of the Duke. It was said that she was a very willful young lady, and her status was one that neither the hotel nor the adventurer team could afford to offend.

For this, the hotel owner bowed and apologized to the adventurers several times, also providing them with extra fruit plates, discounts, and arranging for them to have rooms next door.

Camelia sniffed the air with her sensitive nose and frowned.

"Would the only daughter of a duke really stay in the same room with four or five men who smell this bad?"

The private rooms in this restaurant were known for their excellent soundproofing, often used for business negotiations and similar activities. However, this didn't matter to Camillia, whose sense of smell was particularly keen.

After a brief moment of hesitation, some strange thoughts popped into Aya's mind.

In her previous life, Aya knew some young ladies with similar fetishes. Perhaps people in this world could have such perversions too.

'Let me check it out. I have to make it clear in advance that this is out of concern and curiosity, and it doesn't count as peeping.' With that thought, Aya activated her summoning skill.

On the surface, nothing seemed to happen, but at that moment, a level 41 intermediate shadow demon appeared in the shadow under Aya's feet.

"Go." She gave the order, and the shadow demon quickly slipped through the crack of the door.

"Oh? Interesting." After confirming what was happening in the room through the Shadow's perspective, Aya paused for a moment in thought.

If it wasn't some special kind of play, then tying her up like that would be considered kidnapping.

The other party should likely choose to leave soon. Although Aya had given the Shadow Demon orders to follow them, it would be best to add a bit of insurance just in case.

"Hanzo."

"Here!" At the corner of the corridor, where no one was in sight, a pair of red eyes suddenly appeared, followed by a sturdy man half-kneeling on the ground as if he had appeared out of thin air.

Hanzo was a level 80 ninja mercenary with high agility, strong concealment skills, and excellent reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance abilities. He was a highly useful support unit and a bodyguard summoned by Aya.

"Support the Shadow Demon's operation. If they leave here, follow them closely. If the girl's life is in danger, you are allowed to take action, but don't take those people's lives. I think cutting off their limbs should be enough."

"Understood." With that, Hanzo's figure disappeared once again, as though he had never existed.

"Okay, let's go back and eat." Aya said as she yawned.

"I guess I'll have to stay up late tonight." Aya murmured.

"Even so, I won't allow you to stay in bed." Camilla said.

"Eh? Camilla is so strict. She's not as easygoing as Lilith and Pelia in this respect."

"I don't think it's a good idea to wake someone up and then go in and sleep with them." Camilla said with a look of resentment, while Aya ignored her words, feeling a bit guilty.

Pelia was fine, even though her idea of "I'm enough for Mother" and her attempts to train Aya into being a loser were a bit dangerous.

But Lilith—It is really needed to find some time to teach this little succubus, who loved to play tricks, what respect for elders meant!

Of course, by the time Aya receives Lilith's massage tomorrow, she would probably have forgotten all about this matter.

[Author's Note: Hanzo is a ninja mercenary from the original work and is likely based on the famous ninja, Hattori Hanzo.]

The conversation with the 'Moon Shadow' team ended quickly. There were three tasks for them to choose from. They had not yet made a decision, and since it would take a day to prepare medicines and equipment, they agreed to meet the day after tomorrow.

After confirming the hotel where Aya was staying, they left, and Aya and Camilla returned to the hotel.

Junior adventurers typically chose to stay in simpler inns, partly because of the price, and partly because the larger rooms in ordinary inns made it easier to find teammates.

But Aya had no such intentions. She didn't have the patience to endure poor accommodations or unsanitary conditions, so she chose a mid-tier hotel.

The money she was using now came from the village of Este. She didn't take too much, considering the villagers needed to resume production. A double room in this hotel would likely last for about a week.

But Aya wasn't worried. She was confident in her ability to manage money, and a week was enough.

That said, renting a hotel room for a lot of money seemed pretty pointless, as she had no intention of actually staying there.

She entered the room, locked the door, summoned a creature skilled in illusion, then cast a spell and returned directly to her home at the central lake in the Moonlight Forest.

"Ah! My own home is still so comfortable." Aya let out a sigh of relief as she lay on her big bed.

She removed her disguise first. A pair of big white breasts appeared, and then long hair and horns grew back as the boy "Levi" transformed back into Aya Tiamat.

It was really strange. Although she didn't feel anything while wearing the disguise, taking it off brought a different kind of relief.

While the appearance was also attractive, her original form was still better.

If possible, she would prefer to appear like this. Wouldn't it be a waste to hide it? Aya thought, rubbing her soft chest.

Aya even considered rolling around on the bed, but she gave up when her large horns got in the way.

"Mother!" Camilla picked up a blanket made of rainbow sheep wool and covered Aya with it, then couldn't help but lecture her.

"Don't lie down as soon as you get home. At least put on some clothes!"

"What's the matter? I worked hard today too." Aya replied, speaking like a salaryman in his thirties or forties, casually expressing her exhaustion.

Come to think of it, Aya had once considered pretending to be serious in front of her daughters so they would respect her.

However, this idea was eventually rejected at the conceptual level. Aya wasn't particularly hardworking, and as the "Mother Goddess of Life," she was used to being served and cared for.

But more importantly, Aya was too lazy to hide her true thoughts and nature.

Of course, everything should be done in moderation. Too much meticulous care could turn someone into a useless person.

"Camilla, come, watch TV with me." Aya reached out, grabbed Camilla's right hand, and shook it. Unable to resist, Camilla reluctantly lay down next to Aya.

Aya tilted her head, leaning on Camilla's shoulder. The girl almost couldn't resist the urge to rub Aya.

'Mother might be a bit lacking in self-awareness, but that's not a bad thing. By the way, what is television?'

As Camilla wondered, Aya took out the "Telescopic Mirror" from her prop inventory.

Four intertwined vines automatically extended from the wall of the tree house, forming a fixed frame that placed the screen-like prop directly above the bed.
