Chapter 58: Great Return!
*Celia’s POV*
Honestly, I was actually in a fuck ton of pain, and I thought that I was going to die… How many times am I going to have to think about this? Regardless, I woke up in my bed. Oddly, there was a naked Ria cuddling me. You know, I almost died, right? Why are you copping a feel!?
Ria: “Silly girl, I was the one who saved you.” She said with a giggle.
Celia: “What do you mean?” I ask.
Ria: “The various types of mana within your body were going rampant. I had to take control of them, so that they wouldn’t kill you. This required skin-on-skin contact.” She explained.
Celia: “Oh, thanks then!” I say with a smile.
I kinda think that she is lying about this, as it’s not like I am naked like her. Maybe it still counts, since my nightgown is pretty thin? It could… I mean, I certainly feel her skin on mine, even though I have this nightgown on…
Ria: “…Aren’t you far too calm about this? You did almost die.” She asked with a raised eyebrow.
Celia: “Eh, I am used to almost dying at this point.” I reply with a deadpan tone and expression.
Ria: “I see… Well, despite your stupid idea of consuming that Mana Crystal, even though it was dangerous, from what I can tell, your plan worked out.” She said with a curious tone.
Celia: “Really? Then, I am very curious about my Status. But first, how long was I out for?” I ask with a serious tone.
Ria: “For many hours, it is almost time for you to wake up.” She answered.
Celia: “Ouch… Are there any lasting side effects from what I did?” I ask.
Ria: “From what I can tell, no. After I helped you out, you’re now completely fine. Ah, I did feed you a healing potion, though.” She replied.
After that, she got up from the bed, and left my room. She didn’t undo her disguise, so the cute maid left my room without any fuss. Of course, after her maid outfit magically appeared upon her body first. Ria played it off well, but I could tell that she was very tired… Now then, I must check out my Status, as it has been a while!

Holy fuck!? When the hell did I even get this powerful? I have barely done anything at all… Did I get a lot of Exp from killing that teacher?… Or was it from those fake bandits?
Ruina: “I think that it was a mix of the two.” She said with a giggle.
Celia: “Ruina!? What the fuck? Where the hell have you been!?” I yell in my head.
Ruina: “I was part of an investigation, so I couldn’t talk to you for a while.” She replied.
Celia: “Investigation? What do you mean?” I ask with a confused tone.
Ruina: “Those higher beings were abusing their power. This dimension already got a slap on the wrist for when all of those beings decided to invade it. So I just reported them to the proper authorities.” She explained.
Celia: “Authorities?” I ask with a head tilt.
Ruina: “There are beings that even those higher beings fear. They have had their access to control of this dimension, completely revoked. They cannot mess with you, or anyone else anymore.” She answered.
Celia: “What? So, they’re weak now?” I ask.
Ruina: “No. They’re still as powerful as always, but if they want to mess with someone, they have to go to them, and mess with them directly.” She replied.
Celia: “I see, well; regardless, I am very grateful to you for helping me out like this.” I say with a warm tone, and a bright smile.
Ruina: “No problem! Now then, I can see that a lot has happened since I last talked to you. Would you like for me to explain your available Skills and Upgrades?” She offered.
Celia: “No, it’s fine. You should rest for a while.” I reply.
Ruina: “True, I am pretty tired at the moment. Very well, I shall leave to rest for now.” She said with a yawn.
I found her yawn to be quite cute… And I did greatly miss her. Anyway, I should check out those Upgrades and Skills.

Uhh… I really went and learned every type of magic, huh? Well, it’s not like I am a Goddess at this point. And just because I have access to them, doesn’t mean that I KNOW how to use every element. At first, you’re supposed to learn, and train with basic spells for each element.
Crazy people like Amelie, don’t have to use spells at all, and can just use their magic in any way that they desire. For instance, if I say, think that I want a fire bolt to be shoot out of my hand, nothing would happen at all. But if Amelie does that, a fire bolt would actually shoot out from her hand.
Wait… why is Iron Stomach max level now? Did me eating that Mana Crystal, max it out?… Well, anyway, for the rest of my SIP’s, I just used them all on my Stats. And my Status now looks like this.

Ah! I just can’t help myself! I must figure out what this Dungeon Master Skill does! Thinking about it, a new System menu that I’ve never seen before, popped up in front of my cute face.
After looking around it for a bit, I was shocked to my very core… Kercha logs and high purity Mana Crystals? We can go BIGGER! No, really! I can actually control EVERYTHING about my dungeon, all from the comfort of, well, anywhere I damn well please! Holyshit… I might “sleep” in, just so I can mess with this new System…
