As Nirah took her new toy, the rest of my family began to inspect the weapons and if they were fitting them, many of them already had their own Legendary Weapons collection, as they acquired similar prizes through the drops they acquired as well.

However, Oga seemed to be lacking some gauntlets.

"Kireina, can I take these? They seem pretty good, and they fit perfectly!" said Oga as she tried on a pair of gauntlets made entirely of red, orange, and gold metallic materials. When equipped, they would turn into long and ferocious claws, but they could also close to deal strong punches.

This equipment was the one given by the fallen Hero of Moonfang, Wariner, the Tiger guy that I barely remember now, it was named [Blazing Gauntlets of the Flaming Tiger Berserk; Wariner (Legendary)] and like all equipment present, it had the potential to grow with the wielder into higher Ranks as the wielder progressed in strength.

"They seem to fit well into your hands, Oga. Take good care of them" I said, patting Oga on her white and silky hair.

She always became flustered when I patted her, and I was the only one that showed her flustered and flushed expression.

"O-Okay, thanks… S-Stop patting me…" she said.

"I can't~ Ufufu," I said.

Amongst those that I considered as 'family', Vajrara infiltrated in and found a sword of her liking. It was long and coated in a poisonous metallic material alongside various jewels that enhanced Poison Attribute Mana. It resembled a pointed and purple metallic tongue, with a sharp handle.

After having evolved, Vajrara had become an almost giant Lamia, growing over three meters, but the sword was long enough to fit her strength and refined slices. She had been recently learning various techniques, skills and also leveling in the dungeon with her new body, while also fervently working in the churches that worshiped me, doing the work that Yisu Chakha, a nomad girl that was turned into a Dhampir and recently became a Vampire usually did, but because she was sent to the Azuma Empire to spread my religion, there was a hole left in the churches that Vajrara fervent beliefs filled… It could be said that she is one of the factors that help me acquire more Experience Points and Skill Points per day through worship, so I suppose that rewarding her is not a bad thing, especially because she is very loyal.

The weapon she was interested in was named [Poisonous Long Swords of Sadistic Torture; Anadia (Legendary)], it was named after one of Sunclaw's Heroines, which seemed to have a sadistic nature… I think she was defeated by Celica.

"Kireina-sama, can I really take it? This weapon, with your very poisonous essence! I cannot stop looking at it~!" said Vajrara with a fanatical look on her crimson and purple eyes, her purple skin was glossy and shiny, and her multiple arms seemed to dance and move in joy, alongside her draconic wings which flapped happily and her fluffy snake tail which had the head of a snake similar to Nirah.

I could not help but pat her as well, this filled her with even more joy.

"Of course, take it with you. You have proven to be very useful for the Empire, so you deserve it. Also, it should be known in here that you are also welcomed as part of our family" I said.

"Haaaahhhhh~! Kireina-samaaaaaa! Such appreciation! I do not deserve it! I dooooon't~!"

Bump!

And Vajrara fell unconscious out of happiness and also ecstasy on the floor.

"Sigh…"

Yiksukesh appeared within the crowd of my family and grabbed Vajrara, carrying her to her room.

"I'm sorry, I will bring her to her room…" she muttered while also carrying Vajrara's new sword.

After this scene, Acelina and Ismena began to inspect the equipment while considering what they lacked.

"Oh? This armor is more fitting for me ~! That radiant armor I had before, I had discarded it because it was not of my devilish style, but this one! It truly shows how dark and evil I truly am! Ohohohohoho~!" laughed Acelina devilishly… not exactly.

"Acelina-san, if you're not going to use that armor, can I get it?" asked Palami with an interesting look on her eyes as she glanced at the equipment Acelina was taking out to replace it with the new one she had selected from the pile.

"Ah, Palami-chan, of course, feel free! It is more fitting of a resplendent and benevolent lady of the light like you~ In my case, I have long fallen into the darkness, and I've been embraced by it!" said Acelina as she equipped her new dark armor, which quickly molded itself with the 'Body Adaptability' trait into her body, generating a lustful and sexy dark and dark blue armor that revealed her curves in various areas of her body, her pale blue skin was glossy and a bit sweaty, as she had just come back from the dungeon.

"I-I see… well, it does suit you very well, I suppose," chuckled Palami with a bitter smile, she still had yet to get used to Acelina's chunni personality.

The equipment Acelina choose was the [Spectral Demonic Prince's Malevolent Soul Ethereal Armor; Noboru (Legendary)] dropped by the prince of Sunclaw. It was a special armor made by a spectral soul material that materialized or became ethereal to the wielder's will. It was purely dark with dark blue decorations, and when it was 'activated' it would resemble a furious demonic wolf. Acelina discovered that she could even generate long metallic claws on her feet and hands to fight with it, loving it even more.

"Kireina-sama, I love this one! Doesn't it look devilish on my body~?" asked Acelina with an enthusiastic smile, like a young girl showing her mom a new dress.

"Yes Acelina, you look very good in it, well done. I like how it reveals your curves and beautiful pale blue skin," I said, patting her as well.

"W-Well thanks…! Ufufu… B-But why are you petting me? I-I am a devil… y-you should not… Well, only because it is Kireina-sama…" she muttered.

There are not any of my wives that cannot be considered cute or adorable when I pat them.

Ismena came flapping her large pink and yellow butterfly wings while releasing a trail of pink and yellow light around, she carried a staff that was purple, dark, and pink in colors, which was decorated with the skull of a fox covered in these same colored metallic materials.

"Kireina-sama, can I take this staff? I think it does fit well with my magic! I already have my grimoire, but if I have such a strong staff, I think my magic could become truly strong now" she said as her pink and gold irises shined brightly, her pale pink skin was rosy and healthy and her long and fluffy dark pink hair was covered in several flowers, although her face was still similar to her human form since she evolved into a Chaos Human and then again through my powers, she became a dazzling and beautiful Fairy Princess that one couldn't even recognize as a human previously.

The weapon that she chose was the [Ghostly Staff of the Phantasmagoric Werefox Witch Princess; Miki (Legendary)], a Staff dropped by the Princess of Sunclaw.

"Of course, take it with you, my dear," I said, as Ismena sat down on my lap and hugged me, I took the opportunity to pat her fluffy hair and smell the scent of flowers that she exuded.

"I think that with this… my special spell, Illusion Legion Explosion Catastrophe will be complete!" she said with an enthusiastic expression on her face… but what was that Spell name? Is Acelina contaminating my Ismena with her chunni virus? Oh no…

She looked so happy, so I could not say anything and let her be…

As I patted Ismene, Palami and Raito were chatting around.

"Nice find, Palami, the armor suits you very well," said Raito with a monkey-like smile.

"S-Shut up, stop praising me! Y-You won't get anywhere with that…" said Palami. Of course, she was deeply in love with the idiot of Raito and was carrying his child on her belly. But because everything was so sudden, Palami had a hard time being honest with her feelings. But Raito seemed to enjoy teasing her, whenever it worked.

"Hm… although we completed that dungeon and we got a ton of Legendary and above equipment, I am still missing some good greaves… Oh? Aren't' these ideal?" said Raito with an interesting look as he grabbed on a pair of golden graves with thunder-shaped decorations. It was the [Thunderclap Greaves of Zapping Speed; Zurut (Legendary)], dropped by a Moonfang's Prince of the same name, that specialized in Thunder-like speed attacks.

"You can take them with you, Raito. Consider it a present for your incoming child" I gently said.

"Ah, Kireina-sama, thanks a lot!" said Raito happily as he instantly changed on the new greaves and began to sprint around at immense speeds.

"Uncle Raito is super-fast!" said Vudia while trying to follow him with her own Thunder Attribute Aura.

As Vudia followed Raito around while trying to match his speed, Lilith discovered a full set of armor of her liking.

"Hey, isn't this ideal for me? No way! I want this!" said Lilith with a bright smile, showing her sharp teeth while dangling her rock and jewel covered dragon-tail around happily.

The armor she found was a full set of equipment that included every part, even a helmet, it seemed made out of rock-like materials, but they were indestructible metallic materials.

The armor set was the [Unmovable Mountain Giantess Armor of Protection; Damasios (Legendary)], dropped by a prince of Moonfang of the same name that specified in Earth Attribute Magic Defensive spells.

"I can't find anything of my liking, but it seems that you found something for you… I remember that you told me that you needed an armor, this one has 'Body Adaptability', so even if it's gigantic, it should adjust itself into your rock-like body no matter what" said Charlotte at Lilith's side. Both were inseparable friends, almost like sisters, so it was common that the two did most things together.

"Yeah, Kireina! Can I have this?" asked Lilith with her cheerful demeanor.

"Of course, my love, take it with you," I said.

"Yaaay! Thanks a lot! I'm gonna put it in right now!" said Lilith as she began to take off all her clothes.

"W-Wait a second you stupid dragon, not here! We are in front of everyone!" said Charlotte, carrying Lilith elsewhere.

"Eh? What so wrong? We are all family! Hey Charlotte, stop!" cried Lilith as she was carried to a different room to change clothes there.

"Haha, Lilith had become such a cheerful girl~" laughed Amiphossia.

"Remember when she was a shy little half-dwarf? She was even afraid of taking hits with her shield" said Zehe.

"Guu! She is so fun now; I like to hang around with her in the dungeons!" said Rimuru.

"I suppose she had grown a bit shameless as well," I said.

As this happened, Celica was with Truhan inspecting the pile of equipment.

"Hmm… there is nothing for me in here… the bow seems interesting, but I am not good at it" said Truhan with a bitter smile while eating a roasted Dragon leg.

"What about this Axe for me? I like the red colors and decorations! Now that I am getting good at Axe-wielding, it should be a nice practice weapon!" said Celica as she grabbed an axe with a long handle. The moment she grabbed it, it immediately changed sizes to match her own. It was an axe covered in red-colored rose thorn-like decorations, it was the [Sadistic Blood Rose Axe of Scarlet Fury; Habitis (Legendary)], dropped by Habitis. I do not think that she would mind it being taken by Celica, as she is about to be reborn into something that might not be good at handling weapons.

Truhan began to release smoke from his nose and ears as he glanced at Celica's beautiful and muscular figure practice around with the axe.

"It looks spectacular in you, Celica-chan!" he said.

"Oh? Then…?" said Celica as she directed her eyes to me.

"Hm? Oh, sure, you do not need to ask me, Celica. Feel free. I also think that it suits you well"

"Ah! Thank you, Kireina-sama! Alright! Truhan, let's go kill some mobs!" said Celica with a happy smile.

"Wait, Celica-chan, don't go overboard, you're pregnant!" said Truhan following her.
