Raised in Dungeon

"This is the first time I've met another human," thought the boy.

The boy recalls what his mother, Queen Orc, had told him.

"You need to talk to her and make sure she doesn't run away. Watch and learn from her!" said the Queen Orc when she dragged Lavinia earlier.

The boy was curious about Lavinia, but had no idea how to approach her. He never talked with anyone else in the dungeon, not even with other monsters. He only lived with his mother in that room.

At the beginning of his sixth year, aware of the difference in his body from his mother's, he asked his mother to train him to become big like her. When he saw Lavinia, he realized that it was the adult form of a human. And he also admitted that he might not be able to become as big as his mother.

The boy lifted his hands and put them on his chest.

"Will my chest grow like that in the future?"

while imagining the sensation he felt when he squeezed Lavinia's breast.

"What do you think, Reig?"

The boy looked at his shadow. Then, all of a sudden, his shadow rippled like water. And from his shadow sprang another shadow in the form of black slime, about the size of a little kitten. From that thing, two hands on the left and right came out, and then it shook its head.

"Huh… you don't know either? Well, I've never seen you talk, so you won't be much help."

The next day, after the boy finished training, he again brought Lavinia a soup and had lunch with her.

'Ugh… I'll never get used to this kid's gaze,' thought Lavinia.

The boy was asked to keep an eye on Lavinia by his mother, and because of his curiosity (maybe), he didn't want to take her eyes off Lavinia's body.

Lavinia wanted to tell the kid how uncomfortable she was now, but there was no way the child would understand her words.

After they finished with the food, the boy started the conversation.

"isit xekiyious¿" he said.

Lavinia didn't understand, so she just made a confused face. The boy was aware that she did not convey his words, so he said it again with body language.

"xe-ki-yious," he said while placing his hand on his stomach.

'I don't understand…' thought Lavinia.

He then pointed at his bowl, pretended to eat, and held his stomach.

"Hmm? Does he want to ask me if I'm full or not?"

Lavinia then answered,

"Xekiyious" she said with a forced smile.

Hearing that answer, the boy smiled happily, very happy. Seeing that, Lavinia was confused.

"Why was he looking so happy? Did I mistranslate? Or is he just glad I'm full?"

The boy then came closer to Lavinia and pointed to his own face.

"Allen,"

After that, slowly, he pointed at Lavinia and said,

"arecou¿"

Lavinia still didn't understand. The boy once again pointed at himself and spelled the word out slowly.

"A-L-L-E-N," and then again, he pointed to Lavinia.

"Arecou¿"

After the boy said it one more time, Lavinia finally got it. Lavinia smiled and then said,

"La-vi-ni-a, my name is Lavinia."

The boy put on a big smile. It was the first time the boy had seen a woman smile.

…That was the boy—Allen's first introduction and greeting to another human.
