Dungeon of Niflheim

Chapter 546: Chapter 546: Meeting the family (2)

As Nanna nervously introduced herself to Daki, Maya teleported a little out of the way after donning her battle attire. She chose to wear the same red and white dress that she wore on the day she and Frost first met. Not only was it devastatingly charming, high in quality and oh so generous at showing off her curvaceous figure, it would incite nostalgia within her man, drawing his attention her way.

The moment she arrived she bore a noble expression that helped add to her intimidation. She couldn't abuse her superior strength to win this confrontation lest she wished to draw her boyfriend's ire. Therefore she curtailed her dominating aura as best she could but even so, she made for quite the entrance.

The monsters surrounding the group couldn't help but shiver and subconsciously part as she walked, their eyes inadvertently avoiding her gaze.

Nanna foreseeing a storm quickly grabbed hold of her brother's hand and took shelter by Kiba's side, leaving Frost and Daki alone to confront Maya.

Frost's lips started twitching as a sense of crisis assaulted his heart. He felt as though there was some kind of invisible sparks surrounding Maya as she gained momentum, drawing closer and closer towards him and Daki. Perhaps he underestimated the effect of bringing Daki into the fold.

While he was starting to internally panic, Daki stared at Maya's approaching form with a fierce intensity. She was no stranger to womanly confrontations. The same set of invisible sparks that surrounded Maya starting to surround her, the battle was on.

Seeing a rather unfazed reaction from her rival Maya stepped it up a notch. Once she was within spitting distance of the young orc woman she veered over to Frost, pulling him close and planted a longing kiss on his lips as though marking what was hers.

This of course caused the air around Daki to grow more turbulent, an aggressive move right out the door was always rather painful, but she'd handled worse.

While maintaining an amiable smile Daki started to remove her heavy, fur-covered clothes in a teasing manner.

"Ah good to get out of those stuffy clothes, hold on to them for me please." She handed her fur-covered clothes to a nearby ronso before striking a confident pose.

Daki was well aware of the dangers in confronting a rival with the home advantage. Unlike her Maya would have an array of clothes to choose from and sufficient time to doll herself up while she'd still be in the same clothes she left Kranor with. The solution…wear he battle attire underneath. A surprising, good jab that Maya wasn't expecting given the clear evidence of a frown forming on her brow.

"Umm!" Frost tried to intervene in this contest but was quickly sent a fierce glare by the two women, preventing any words from escaping his lips.

Maya in her form hugging red and white dress removed herself from Frost's arm and squared up to Daki who was easily a head or two taller than her without fear. She eyed the orc succubus's tantalising figure with a keen eye. Daki did the exact same, eyeing up every inch of the beautiful fenrir.

There was tense silence between the two for quite a while as neither was willing to admit defeat or show any signs of weakness. The audience, including Frost simply had to wait until the two women finished sounding each other out.

Strangely Daki and Maya both had the exact same though running through their minds during their close proximity confrontation.

'Damn she's gorgeous!' The two quickly identified each other's level. In all categories, though different in style the two of them judged one another to be equally beautiful, neither gaining superiority over the other. This realisation created a base for mutual respect, reducing the threat they felt from one another.

Eventually they found a lot in common when it came to their figures, personalities and even appearance. Frost certainly had a type.

Silently an accord or truce established between the two of them.

"So you're Daki."

"And you must be Maya, Frost told me a lot about you." Maya glanced at Frost, wondering what sort of things he told her.

"I can definitely see how you caught his attention, it's clear he has a type."

"Upon seeing you I have to agree." Daki nodded her head in agreement before looking at Frost in a similar manner.

"Though he told me about you his words don't do you justice, you're definitely the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." Daki couldn't help but praise and feel slightly jealous towards the young fenrir, she was practically the ideal woman in many eyes. Cute, beautiful, small yet very curvy and with skin as white as snow.

"I could say the same about you." Maya's eyes once again roamed over the orc succubus's body, admiring her muscular arms, legs and midriff as well as her advanced height. Both of them saw qualities that they desired for themselves in one another.

"Umm are you two cool now?" Frost who was sitting on tenterhooks throughout the entire process asked nervously.

In response he received fierce glares from the two women before they smiled at one another, the sparks surrounding them dissipating.

"No problems here right Daki?"

"Not that I can see Maya." The two giggled before Maya locked arms with her rival/sister.

"Come, come let me show you around your new abode, be careful though the teleportation may make you a bit queasy." Before Frost could fully come to terms with the sudden change Maya and Daki had linked arms and disappeared into a space warp.

Nanna and Loki quickly followed after them leaving him alone and surrounded by his monsters who were just as confused as he was, well at least the men were.

"Is this a good thing or not?" He muttered in confusion. He was glad the two came to some kind of mutual understanding but the two looks they gave him at the end made him feel as though it was at his expense.

"Findlay carry on with constructing the camp, I'll hear your report later on when I'm free." He had the nagging feeling that he shouldn't leave Daki and Maya alone, so he quickly opened up a space warp and teleported into the private space to catch up to them.

Within the private space Daki was holding up far better than he thought when it came to the spatial teleportation, she recovered almost instantly and was already being shown around by Maya, Loki and Nanna who had instantly warmed up to her the moment Maya did. If Maya was cool with the new addition she had no reason not to like her.

"This is our true home, the dungeon's private space." Maya eagerly showed off their home. "The kitchen, dining area and living room is all open plan as you can see, helps to foster closeness and warmth. Currently I prepare most of the meals with the occasional aid from little Nanna here. Do you like to cook?"

"Occasionally but it's not my strongest suit." Daki painfully admitted, it was one of the skills she never found the need or had the talent to master. Usually she'd eat something basic or go out for food.

"That's fine, we all have our own strengths." Maya reoriented the focus away from the kitchen since it was no longer important.

"We try to have at least one meal as group every day but given how hectic our schedules can be it's not always possible. If you get hungry you can either whip up something basic or use the dungeon system to produce a meal." She brought up the dungeon menu and slowly navigated to the prepared food section.

"So this is the dungeon menu Frost told me about." Daki was completely in awe of the holographic screen before her, she'd never seen nor even heard of anything remotely similar. Her awe only grew when Maya summoned an apple out of nowhere courtesy of the system.

"Wow that's amazing."

"I know right, with enough Dungeon points we can practically get anything we want." Maya thus showed off some other items for sale, alcohol, cakes, clothes and since Daki was an avid blacksmith metals and other wonderous materials.

Frost's anxiety melted away as he witnessed their friendly exchange, Maya and Daki looked like good friends rather than bitter rivals, strange considering how confrontational they both were a minute ago.

Though he enjoyed seeing them getting along he did feel a little left out, so he promptly inserted himself into the conversation.

"Everyone is given a basic allowance of DP which they can spend however they wish, anything over a certain amount however needs my approval otherwise this place would be full of unnecessary dresses and alcohol." He gave the stink eye to Maya who cutely stuck out her tongue.

"Will I be able to use it like everyone else?"

"Yes it'll just take some practise, I'll grant you permission later but first lets finish the tour." Frost placed his hand against Daki's lower back and guided her towards the bedrooms.

"In the corner there is Kiba's room which he moaned to get but never uses."

"Garow!"

"You don't use it you either sleep with Nanna and Loki or in the dungeon." After grumbling the large tiger as if to prove his master wrong glided into his room and parked his rump on the high quality cat bed.

"Next we have…"

"Our room, this is mine and my sister's room." Loki interrupted in an excited manner before opening the door wide allowing Daki to peer in. One half was covered in clothes and books, looking rather messy while the other half had a few sets of daggers lined up on a desk and a slightly unkempt bed but in a far better condition that its neighbour.

Nanna with a bright red blush quickly charged into the room and did her best to tidy up her half of the room.

"Over here we have the bathroom." Frost opened up the door to reveal its contents. The room was far bigger on the inside than the outside suggested. This bathroom was practically a fully functioning bath house that could be found in noble manors, even the one in Yarrow's and Chia's place paled in comparison. Frost was quite proud of that fact.

"Finally we have Maya's room on the right, mine in the centre and yours on the left." Though Maya rarely slept in her own room anymore she still used it as storage for her clothes. Obviously Daki didn't peer into the room on the right but she was quite interested in seeing Frost's room but that could wait until later.

"I used the same format as ours so it's rather basic. If you want to change it in any way just tell me, the dungeon system allows me to change the private space almost instantaneously.

The bedroom was almost identical to Maya's, a large bed in the centre with a walk in closet and all manner of dressers and cabinets. Daki couldn't spot anything wrong in fact it was glorious, far better than what she had back in Kranor only… it lacked a personal touch.

"Can I change the colours and swap out some of the dressers?"

"You can do whatever you want, this is your room after all." A tear welled up in her eyes as Frost said that. This was her home now.
