Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System - Chapter 266.1: The Graveyard Part 1

"Hohoho? So my little Faith is that popular." My mother was having a grand old time fawning all over Diablo.

"Mother, I think that is enough. Diablo doesn't know what to do." I finally spoke up. Diablo was sitting there with a blank expression. I think he has already left this world for another.

"What do you mean!? It is only right for a mother to get to know the man that will soon be part of the family. So tell me, when is my grandbaby d….?"

"Mother!" I yelled out while spraying her with water magic. "Diablo is not my boyfriend! How many times do I have to say it!?"

"Faith, why are you being shy!? How could such a handsome man who is willing to devote himself to you not be my future son in law!?" My mother yelled back while drying herself off with magic.

"So any handsome man I bring into this house is my fiance!? So the ones coming here soon will also be my fiance!? I will have a damn harem!?" I shouted.

"My!? My, my! We will need to build a bigger house. I never thought my daughter was able to bring home so many handsome men. I expect many grandbabies soon! I must go make plans!" I suddenly feel like I want to cry….

"Why won't she just listen!?" I cried out as I fell back into my seat.

"Ummm…. Master, what should I do?" Diablo asked.

"I'm sorry, Diablo, but just deal with her for now. She is probably using this to keep her mind off my father." I can only think that that was the case because she was talking very strangely.

"When are the others arriving?" My brother asked as he set a cup of tea on the table for me.

"In a few days. Well, if they are not here in a few days, they will be forced to run back and forth from here to the capital and back one hundred times until they can get here quicker. After everything is settled, of course." I really meant it when I said I would make them run back and forth until they could get here in a decent amount of time. They can all use the same spells I can for speed boosting, so it should not take them too long.

"You are…. Alright. I do not know what you have been up to, but I guess it is probably something crazy." To my brother's words, I just smiled.

"I will be off. I want to check the entrance of the dungeon and take a peek inside. If I do not come out, then tell my team not to enter." If I enter and something happens like I am locked in. It would be best to keep the others outside, just in case.

"Alright. I will let them know. Is Diablo staying at the house?" My brother looked over at Diablo, who seemed to have a headache. He was sitting there holding his head in his hands.

"Yeah. He will be the first to know if something happens to me." After I answered my brother, I looked at Diablo. "Protect them for me, please."

"As you wish, Master. But is there anything you can do about your mother? While you are a very beautiful girl, I am a demon, and you are my Master…." Diablo looked desperate, but I was unsure how I felt about his quick dismissal of me. I mean, he made it sound like he was praising me, but the end sounded more like he was disgusted with the thought.

I humphed and answered: "Put up with it." I then got up and walked off. I could hear Diablo behind me ask my brother: "Did I say something wrong?"

And then answering: "Never try to understand a woman's mind."

I rolled my eyes as I stepped outside to see Rachel playing with Leo in the yard. "Rachel!" I called out. She looked up at me and smiled brightly. She picked up Leo and rushed over to me.

"You have grown prettier! I missed you so much! I have no one to tease your brother with anymore and pull pranks on him." Rachel's tone was filled with dejection, but her smile was radiant.

"I will be sure to help you with a few before I return back to the capital. For now, I must go to the dungeon. Keep an eye on things. If you have issues, tell my brother or Diablo. No one is allowed to bully you or my little nephew!" I said while pursing my lips. Rachel smiled and nodded. "I will be sure to do just that. So is it true? Is Diablo your…"

"Not you too!?" I cried out, causing Both Rachel and Leo to laugh. I sighed and stomped off. Everyone is bullying me today!

I rushed down the cliffside to where the entrance to the dungeon was. The whole array seemed gloomy and eerie. It made me feel like I was walking in a graveyard. I guess I shouldn't say it's like a graveyard as it actually was one. It had sprouted up with the dungeon. "That must be the dungeon entrance." I looked at the tall tomb with a large door on it and sighed as I walked over to it. "These things are just…. At least the outside area is safe. But to think they didn't even post guards ...."

"They did." A voice came from my side, causing me to jump high into the air. I turned to see a young man standing there with a sword at his side.

"Where did you come from!?" I cried out while holding my chest. He scared the death out of me!

"I have been standing here the entire time…." The young man lowered his head. I guess this must happen a lot to him.

"Alright, well…. It's my fault for not paying attention to my surroundings. Can you explain to me what is going on here? How long has the dungeon been up for? And how many people have actually entered." These were all questions I should have asked at the house, but I needed to escape before my mother tried to set me and Diablo up in a bedroom somewhere to make her grandbabies. With her current state of mind, I wouldn't put it past her.
