"OK! All done! I was a bit nervous using resurrection magic for the first time. It would’ve been embarrassing if it failed."

After the light orb merged into Lena’s body, her previously pale face regained its rosy hue. Her chest began to rise and fall again, though she hadn’t fully woken up yet. Kuber rubbed his hands together, let out a sigh of relief, hoisted Lena onto his shoulder, and walked toward the shore.

"Master, you truly amaze me!" Acrina exclaimed sincerely the moment they reached land.

"Brother! Brother! There was a woman with so many wings just now!" A Luo chirped excitedly, chattering nonstop as she circled Kuber.

Kuber waved his hand, set Lena down, then pulled a tent from his storage space. "Help me set this up. We’ll camp by the lake tonight."

"Yes, Master."

The three hurriedly assembled the tent. They spread the rug, erected the frame, draped the tarp, and hammered the pegs firmly into the ground. In no time, a simple five-person tent stood ready—a must-have for travel.

Kuber gently placed Lena inside. He pulled a pillow and blanket from storage, covered her, then stripped down quickly. He dove under the covers, hugging Lena like a pillow. Compared to the chilly lake air, the warm blanket drew a contented smile from him. After a long day, resting felt perfect.

Kuber noticed the silence beside him. Peeking out, he saw Acrina and A Luo still kneeling dumbfounded nearby.

"What are you staring at? Aren’t you sleeping?"

"Eh? Can we? Sleep with you, Master?"

Acrina looked shocked and shy. A Luo lowered her head, fidgeting with her fingers. Kuber rolled his eyes.

"Less talk. Get in."

"...Yes, Master."

The two stripped completely, blushing, lifted a corner of the blanket, and slipped in.

Kuber grabbed A Luo, cradling her in his arm. He buried his nose in her neck, taking deep sniffs. A strange fragrance hit him, making him dizzy instantly. Then, soft pressure pressed against his back—Acrina had snuggled up behind him, gently hugging him.

An indescribable warmth and satisfaction filled his heart. It felt like a mother’s embrace. The faint weariness and loneliness deep inside him vanished like smoke.

"Master, forgive my boldness—but who is this woman to you?" Acrina asked suddenly, curious about the one he’d resurrected.

Kuber thought carefully. Lena wasn’t truly important. He’d given her a communication card after touching her chest, saying she could call for help—but resurrection wasn’t part of the deal.

"No. She’s not important. It’s just because she has big breasts."

"B...big breasts??"

Acrina gaped, stunned by the answer. Did big breasts grant such perks? She glanced down at her own chest—thankfully, hers were ample too.

A Luo touched her flat chest, her face falling in disappointment.

"Yes. Big breasts are enough. To me, they’re very valuable."

Kuber turned to Acrina, dead serious despite the baffling, embarrassing words.

"Is...is that so?"

Acrina forced a bitter smile, utterly confused.

"Exactly. Breasts symbolize motherhood—the thing I crave. I never had a mother."

Kuber spoke earnestly, the mood turning heavy.

Acrina fumbled for words, managing only a strained laugh. "Well... if Master doesn’t mind, you could consider me your mother?"

Kuber feigned disbelief. "Really?"

Acrina nodded with a smile. Instantly, Kuber’s eyes lit up. He lunged into her arms, causing a ruckus until Acrina gasped repeatedly.

A Luo squeaked, covered her eyes, then peeked through her fingers, watching intently to learn.

The specifics followed the usual routine—readers can fill in the blanks.

Kuber: "Battle Tornado!"

Acrina: "Ah~~~"

Kuber: "Gaia Energy Cannon!"

Acrina: "Heaven’s Gate~"

And so, a long night passed.
