“Reyna. Silverluck, huh. So Reyna…”
“Yes. She has the same last name as you.”
I got a pretty good idea of what was happening. Reyna must also be of the elven royal family.
Suddenly, bits of knowledge from the original story resurfaced in my mind as I wondered about the connection between Reyna and Rachel. I tried to put the pieces together.
Their appearances were strikingly similar.
If Rachel were a bit younger, with ears closer to a human’s, a fuller chest, and a more pronounced bust, she could almost pass as Reyna.
“Do you know what she looks like by any chance?”
“I have a photo I took with her once. Here, take a look.”
I pulled out a photo I’d taken with Reyna at some point and showed it to Rachel.
“This… this…”
Rachel stared intently at the photo, her blue eyes welling up with tears.
“Sniff… sob…”
“Why the sudden waterworks?”
“Reyna Silverluck is my daughter.”
“…What?”
Reyna… is Rachel’s daughter?
I had a feeling there might be some kind of connection, but could this really be true?
I thought they looked a bit alike, and if they’re truly mother and daughter, the resemblance makes sense—well, except for the chest.
So… would that make her my mother-in-law? Or perhaps… my mother-in-law?
No, since I’m currently in a woman’s body, “mother-in-law” should be appropriate.
“Could it be that my daughter is with you…”
“Mother-in-law.”
I bowed politely in front of Rachel. This wasn’t something I could let slip by—I had to make a good impression from now on.
“…What? Mother-in-law?”
Mother-in-law? Or mother-in-law? Whatever the case, it’s time to stay on her good side. Even I know how to show respect to my elders—especially if it’s the mother of my lover.
After finishing my respectful greeting, I began explaining my relationship with Reyna.
But as soon as I called her “mother-in-law,” she grabbed me by the collar.
“Are you telling me… you turned my daughter into a lesbian, and now you’re after me too? What kind of depraved person… if what you’re saying is true, this is a serious matter! How could you toy with both mother and daughter?”
That would definitely be an issue in Korea. Seducing both mother and daughter… But this isn’t Korea, is it?
Besides, who could stop me here in a place like this?
A rather thrilling thought crossed my mind: “Steamy Mother-in-law Encounter in the Archive.avi.”
Just the thought is… well, it’s exciting, don’t you think? Of course, it goes without saying that the mother-in-law should be young and beautiful, like Rachel.
"If you're aroused, screw what anyone thinks, even if it's the mother-in-law."
Isn’t it true that when you’re turned on, you should just go for it? Isn’t that great? After all, there’s a reason the phrase 'mother-daughter combo' exists.
If you're a man, you can have classic mother-daughter sex, and if you're a lesbian, you can do mother-daughter cunnilingus.
"This is crazy. This is crazy!"
"This is better."
"It's bothersome to even call her mother-in-law. Since the line has been crossed, shouldn’t I go all the way and enjoy it? Just looking at her face and body, she still has the allure of a woman in her twenties. If I don’t savor it now, then when?"
“What are you up to again? Hey, I’m… Rachel’s mother, remember? You should be good to me, you know?” “This is me trying to impress you, alright? Now, get closer.”
In the end, I went at it one more time. This time, I climbed on top of her head to receive some oral attention. She hesitated at first, shaking her head as if reluctant, but eventually, she managed to satisfy me.
A while later, Rachel’s face and hair were wet with my fluids, and she wore a deeply displeased expression.
“Ugh… I can’t accept that someone like you is my daughter-in-law.” “Even if you don’t want to admit it, your body sure responded honestly, didn’t it? You enjoyed it, didn’t you?”
Saying that, I slyly gave her a little squeeze on her backside, and Rachel swatted my hand away.
“What kind of daughter-in-law grabs her mother-in-law’s backside and does that all over her face?” “Well, it’s not my fault if you couldn’t take it.”
She has no filter when talking to her daughter-in-law. She shot me a glare and then used a cleansing spell to clean off whatever was left on her. Still, the fact that she cleaned me off too shows she’s taking care of her daughter-in-law, in her own way.
“Anyway, we absolutely have to get out of here.” “Of course.” “Are you going to keep talking to me so informally?”
Rachel’s brow furrowed tightly.
In 21st-century Korea, a daughter-in-law speaking informally to her mother-in-law would be a recipe for disaster. But here I was, doing it without a second thought.
“Oh, you’d like that? Want me to start treating you like some old hag?”
“What?! I’ll have you know I’m still considered young among elves!”
Sure, she looks young. But if you consider time in the outside world, she’s probably at least a few thousand years old. Not to mention, even before she ended up here, she’d lived far longer than me.
“Yeah, yeah. Who knows how long you’ve been living here, dear mother-in-law.”
“Ugh, just stick to one—either informal speech or not!”
She clearly doesn’t like being treated like an old lady. How amusing it is to get such a reaction! Besides, given what’s already happened, it’s strange to even think of ourselves as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law anymore. I mean, what kind of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would do… that, or would have the daughter-in-law leave her mark on the mother-in-law’s face?
"Rachel, don’t you know the way out of here?"
"If I knew, I’d be out by now. I haven’t even been able to find the back exit."
So, she knows the escape route involves a back exit.
“Didn’t you bring a map of the archive’s layout?”
“A map of the layout? Where would I even get something like that?”
“The control room.”
At my words, her expression soured. When I tilted my head, seeing the look that basically said “what nonsense are you talking about?” she just shook her head.
“What are you even talking about? There’s no control room here.”
“Lie to me, and I’ll go for a 'womb-punch combo.' There’s even a safety protocol, you know?”
“You’re insane… I’m serious, there’s no control room! It was destroyed ages ago! When the archive’s records kept attracting lunatic elves, the royal family member in charge decided it was enough and blew up the control room to bury the entire archive!”
Then what’s the deal with the safety protocol?
“The lunatics who lurk around here didn’t try restoring the control room?”
“The knowledge-obsessed elves did attempt to restore it, but back when the royal family was reforming the archive, they decided to shut down the control room and leave the archive as a trap area. So, seeing a map from the control room… who even are you?”
Rachel’s gaze narrowed as she looked at the layout map in my hand.
Then what is this layout map I’m holding?
I began to think carefully.
A non-existent control room.
A layout map obtained from a control room that supposedly doesn’t exist.
This is really suspicious, isn’t it? Did I bring something weird?
Damn. This feels off. Normally, this kind of thing should be given to the mother-in-law.
“Mother, this daughter-in-law knows nothing about elves, so you should keep this layout map.”
As I intentionally offered the map with both hands, she recoiled in horror and handed it back to me.
“I don’t want it either! Calling you ‘mother’ only when it suits you? I’ve never had a daughter-in-law like you!”
“Well, just think of it as fulfilling a request from your ‘playmate’!”
“‘Playmate’? What’s that?! If you’re going to associate with my daughter, don’t use such vulgar language!”
“Your daughter knows what the word ‘playmate’ means, you know?”
Ah, wait a second. Now that I think about it, why am I so worried about this?
“Hold on a minute, Rachel. You’re telling me you’ve just been loitering around here?”
“So what?”
“You’ve been cooped up in this corner like a hermit; how would you know whether there’s a control room or not?”
Now that I think about it, it’s strange. If she had been here for a long time without a map, she should have found at least a hint about the back exit—but she hadn’t.
“W-well…”
“Ugh, being so clueless is why you’re stuck here.”
“What did you say?”
Tsk tsk tsk. I clicked my tongue lightly and took the map back.
Rachel puffed her cheeks slightly, making me seriously doubt whether she was even married.
“Anyway, it seems like a monster or some kind of beast is going to appear soon?”
“Are you sure about this? I’m feeling a bit uneasy.”
Uneasy is better than having nothing at all.
“Look at this. Here. There’s a skull drawn at the point where we encountered the skeleton.”
According to this map, there should be a strangely shaped monster ahead.
At first, I thought it was just a doodle on the map, but seeing an actual pile of skeletons where the skull drawing was, it seemed genuine.
“Oh, right. But what about this creature?”
“What do you mean?”
“I heard that when the elven kingdom fell, the Demon Lord’s subordinates got trapped here. It could be one of them?”
No, if there’s such a person, why hasn’t this woman met them until now? Has she really just been sitting here in this corner?
That monster itself is suspicious.
“Who would have thought there would be elves and humans in a place like this? I was just thinking about recovering my strength a bit since I could leave now. It looks like some offerings have come in.”
A huge knight blocked our path. The black armor is quite impressive.
“What the hell is that?”
“An Abyss Knight. It gains power by injuring or killing living beings. And it gets stronger even when injured.”
The more you kill it, the stronger it gets, and the lower its HP, the stronger it becomes. Isn’t that a pretty common trope?
That means it’s a tough opponent. Supposedly, it’s a high-ranking officer of the Demon Lord. From its appearance, it just looks like a typical black knight.
“In other words, it means we just need to take it out in one go.”
“Eh?”
“What are you babbling about, you woman? Fear me! Regret appearing before me! You will become the offering for my resurrection as the Abyss Knight right here!”
The Abyss Knight’s body started to twist and then muscles began to form. The sound of cracking bones as the muscles twisted grotesquely reminded me of a pig being butchered.
But then…
“Shut the hell up. Hellfire.”
“Gyaaaaaah!”
I incinerated the noisy black knight in front of me. If that bastard was going to transform, he should have done it in advance; did he expect me to wait? What a fool giving his opponent a golden opportunity to attack.
That amazing trait is only possible after transforming.
Despite being engulfed in flames, he didn’t stop transforming. It seemed he still had a long way to go.
Then, while transforming, he was left as nothing but ashes and died.
Rachel looked at me with her mouth agape.
“What? What is it?”
“Usually, you’re supposed to wait for that kind of thing.”
“Is that why you’ve been stuck in a place like this?”
That’s what a high-ranking officer of the Demon Lord looks like? What a ridiculous thing to say.
However, the Abyss Knight, before dying, staggered and crashed against the wall. I could see the safety protocols.
Only one person can enter? Am I treated as a person? Does Rachel, being an elf, have no access restrictions?
No, it wouldn’t make sense for the elves to make it so only humans could enter.
In other words, this must also be something the higher-ups put in place.
After that, we encountered several more monsters.
Most disappeared when I burned the books, but there was another problem.
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m just trying to move after a long time, and my feet really hurt.”
Rachel bent down and began to rub her legs.
Why does she look so out of breath? How far have we walked? Are elves physically weak?
“You should exercise a bit. It’s clear you’ve just been sitting in one place, right?”
“U-uhm. Huh? What are you doing?”
“What do you mean? I want to see Reyna. Hurry up and get on my back. I’ll take you quickly.”
At my words, Rachel’s eyes welled up with tears, but she quickly wiped them away and climbed onto my back.
“Um, but the way ahead is blocked.”
It was indeed blocked. According to the map, we would have to take quite a detour, but seeing Rachel’s condition, she seemed eager to rest quickly.
I decided to quickly escape this place with Rachel. A miraculous mother-daughter reunion wouldn’t be so bad.
There’s a limit to how much strength I can exert. Carrying her lightly like this is no problem at all.
Reyna is waiting outside, after all. If we’re going to go in circles anyway, it’s better to break through one spot.
With a whoosh, I burned the bookshelves and moved forward.
“Do you like setting things on fire, daughter-in-law?”
“I like burning things with women.”
Warm, gooey snails. Ugh, that’s enticing.
“How did you manage to get my daughter?”
“She spread her legs when I gave her the World Tree’s bow.”
At first, she pretended not to want it and opened up nicely. Now that I think about it, what is Reyna doing? Is she sad because Yujeong and I aren’t around?
I hope so, but since Rachel isn’t saying anything, I turned my head slightly and saw her looking at me with a face like someone who came to eat but got punched instead.
“What?”
“?”
Why? What is it?
“The World Tree’s bow, huh? You really know how to joke. It’s impressive how well you can say you don’t want to talk.”
“I have never lied in my life, and I certainly wouldn’t lie to my lover.”
After briefly setting her down, I showed her a photo of the counterfeit elf lying beside the World Tree’s bow on the bed, and she immediately grabbed me by the collar.
“You stole it!? And my daughter too, like this!”
“Would it be reasonable for me to steal it? I told you, thousands of years have passed. The ruins flowed into our world along with the World Tree’s bow. Rather, you should be thanking me for giving it to Reyna instead of humans.”
“Is that so?”
Of course it is. If I hadn’t given the World Tree’s bow to Reyna, there’s a chance a villain could have taken it. So instead of thanking me, she’s acting like this? How unreasonable.
“Right? So spread your legs.”
“Are you insane? I’m not some middle-aged man!”
No, even counting my time as a salaryman, I’m not that old. Even if I reincarnated a hundred times, it wouldn’t be true.
“With a body that makes women, including your mother and daughter, lust after you. You should blame your lewd body, not me.”
“You just said that earlier! I’ll do it once we get out. That’s all that needs to be done, right?”
I heard that people are different when entering and exiting, but since she’s an elf, should I treat her differently?
“Once we get out? Why would I waste the chance to hold you right now? If you let me have a mother-daughter sandwich, I’ll quietly find the back door.”
“A mother-daughter sandwich?”
She didn’t even know what a mother-daughter sandwich was. How boring have elves lived? Seeing her body easily warm up is surprising.
“Yeah. Eating together like a mother and daughter.”
Only then did Rachel realize what I meant and started pounding my chest.
“You’re insane. Truly insane!”
I must have touched the reverse scale of a married woman.
Well, there’s no need to force her. Right now, escaping is the priority. However, looking at Reyna as a counterfeit elf, she’s half human. This means her father is human, and sorry, but thousands of years have passed, so that father is dead.
If I cleverly exploit this gap?
I could have a mother-daughter sandwich.
Is it ethically wrong? That kind of reasoning doesn’t hold in front of an evil dragon.
Right now, gaining trust is the priority.
In the end, it’s just Rachel and me in this library. There’s nothing I can’t do.
Let’s fill up the affection meter and then have a mother-daughter sandwich.
“Okay. Let’s get out first. Everything until now was a joke.”
I lifted her up again. My body feels lighter than before.
“Can you really just jokingly grope my mother-in-law's chest, kiss her, and squeeze her butt?”
“No, I really can’t.”
Carrying her, I passed by or burned many bookshelves.
Strange monsters appeared at intervals, but they were no match for me.
In the midst of it all, I felt something playing with my back.
“What are you doing?”
“Oh, ha ha ha. I was writing a list of things I want to do with my daughter.”
And I won’t include ‘being a mother-daughter sandwich for Yu Eun-ha.’ For now, let’s just prepare the stage.
“Who is this? Rachel Silveryuk! And a human woman?”
“Seriously? Who is that?”
“One of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King Army. The Indomitable Lich. A ghost-type monster and the greatest enemy of the Elf Kingdom’s revival army. I didn’t expect him to be trapped here.”
Rachel tightened her grip on my back and trembled.
“What are you, trying to escape from here? Do you think you can? Foolish girl. But unlike you, I can obtain the body of a human woman!”
That’s disgustingly loud.
“Should I burn that too?”
“Yeah.”
I burned the entire bookshelf that appeared to be the Lich. The skeleton in the robe, looking like a Lich, rattled its jaw as if mocking Rachel while dying.
Why are these losers acting up?
“Haah. Haah. Haah. You said Yu Eun-ha, right?”
“Why are you asking that now?”
“By the way, I don’t know what kind of personality my daughter has or how she grew up. Can you tell me?”
I told Rachel, who looked exhausted from being on my back, about Reyna.
Our first meeting at the academy. Her pride as an elven descendant. That she’s a bit strict but a good woman. I spoke more specifically than when I first explained.
As we had several conversations, we entered a corridor of relatively well-organized bookshelves and discovered a strange corpse.
The attire was similar to what Rachel wore, and it was in the process of turning into a skeleton.
“I’m feeling a bit tired. Can you help me take care of this? At least grab some belongings.”
Rachel made me retrieve the name tag and pendant from the corpse’s chest.
But for some reason, I couldn’t read the name tag.
Is it because the elf language is different?
Rachel might have been close to her.
“Are you not going to treat me like a daughter-in-law?”
“No. I should at least do that.”
Rachel laughed like a little kid. Indeed. No matter how you look at it, she seems too young to be Reyna’s mother.
Surprisingly, there was almost nothing ahead.
It felt like I was just playing an escape room game.
As I passed through an area with a strong smell of old books, I saw a back door that would lead me out of this library.
“We’re almost there. Rachel.”
“……”
“Rachel?”
“Ah? Yeah. You’re saying we’re almost there?”
Why is she so out of it? If she wants to meet her daughter, she needs to get her head straight.
“Yeah. So get ready to see Reyna. It’ll surprise you.”
“Really? It’ll be a huge surprise. You too.”
“Eh?”
“No, listen. Yu Eun-ha, I didn’t expect to make such a request of a girl. Please love my daughter from now on. Can you promise me that?”
Really? Is that even a request?
“Why are you asking something so obvious? I’ll love her too.”
“Hah. I really don’t know if I can trust this flirty girl, but for now, that’s enough. Thank you. I’ll only trust you.”
As I was about to leave, I noticed a warning sign on the back door.
Ah, the lizard maid. I wanted to take her, but it’s a pity.
“Then I’m going out.”
“Okay.”
As I turned my head to briefly look inside the library,
it was surprisingly not difficult to get through the traps set by the ganfs to prevent entry into the archive, perhaps because I am such an unreasonable creature.
I am truly beautiful, strong, and have a good personality—there’s nothing lacking.
I was done with lingering feelings and turned the doorknob to the back door and left.
“Yu Eun-ha!”
As soon as I stepped out, I heard the voices of the pretty girls welcoming me.
The back door I had come out of had disappeared.
If I go back there, it’ll be the lewd lizard maid.
“Long time no see? Did you wait long?”
It seems I kept the pretty girls waiting for too long.
“We were really worried! But why do you look so awkward?”
Awkward? Does Reyna not see Rachel on my back?
“Oh right. The elf Rachel on my shoulder is your mother.”
“What? Who’s on your shoulder?”
“Huh?”
Now that I think about it, my back feels too light.
There was nothing on my back where Rachel had been just a moment ago.
Suddenly, the warning sign I saw near the back door earlier came to mind.
My spine turned cold as I dropped the name tag in my hand.
I picked up the name tag I had dropped with trembling hands, and looking again, it seemed I could now read it.
[Rachel Silveryuk]
That elf’s corpse was Rachel.
