Chapter 91: A Peaceful Dream
I slowly submerged myself inside the warm hot spring. It felt extremely nice and realistic even if it's just a dream. This is partly due the fact that we have so much mana to spare that we can use tons of magic to enhance the dream.
I turned to my wife and daughter, they're both swimming around the hot spring a distance away from me. They both treated a hot spring the same way as a child would treat a pool.
Well, those two are technically children…
They both wear nothing in this dream, but the steam in the area somehow always cover their private parts. Liz also didn't have her wings with her, probably because it's going to affect her agility when playing in the water.
Liz suddenly stopped splashing Megumin before throwing a surprise splash attack straight at me. I could dodge it, but being splashed by warm water isn't that bad.
"Otou sama, come on! Let's play!" Liz said while dragging my left hand.
"Come on Kazuma, or are you scared?" Megumin said while dragging my right hand.
"I just got here, at least let me enter REM for a bit," I told them in slight exhaustion.
They both looked at me in slight concern.
"Did the child trouble you, Otou sama?"
"Did you get in trouble again?"
I shook my head. "No, I just abused the hell out of my succubus skill to plant numerous suggestions into the subconscious of this kingdom's future ruler." I explained.
Liz and Megumin just looked at me flatly. They then began whispering to each other.
"Okaa sama, is Otou sama taking advantage of a princess's innocence?"
"That's right Liza chan, your father is a scum who would take advantage of an innocent child."
"Oi!"
We bickered around for a bit in our dream world hot springs. Liza and Megumin were a little skeptic when I told them that I didn't use 'Charm' to make the princess let me stay with her longer.
"Hee… you are rather close to this child aren't you?" Liz asked with obvious jealousy.
"Well, she thought of me as her big brother, she even called me Onii chan," then I turned to Liz. "How about you call me Otou chan instead of Otou sama, maybe then you can compete with her cuteness."
Liz blushed a little and shook her head. "Otou sama, it's disrespectful for me to call you something like that," she said. "I mean… Otou chan? It sounds weird isn't it?"
"No it's not weird," Megumin piped in suddenly. "Try saying it Liz, call us Otou chan and Okaa chan,"
The dragon bit her lip and looked at us shyly. "Good evening, Otou chan… Okaa chan…"
YES!!!
I lunged at her and embraced her to a hug. "Aah! That was the cutest thing you've ever said!!!" I exclaimed not at all caring about the fact that we're naked in this hot springs. I mean, this is just a dream after all.
"O-Otou sama! What are you doing!?"
I quickly let go of her and smiled sheepishly. The dragon submerged her body into the water and just looked down in embarrassment. She was so embarrassed that she didn't even notice Megumin sneaking up behind her.
"Liza chan, you're so cute when you're embarrassed like that," Megumin hugged the dragon from behind and Liz could only whine a little as she covered her face with both of her hands. "So adorable!"
"Okaa sama… Stop…"

We bullied Liz for the better part of our night before finally leaving the hot springs. We then have some dream dinner in the hotel's dining room. Of course, since it's a dream, we get to order anything we want.
Liz sat beside Megumin. I sat facing her at the other side of the table. The dining table itself is full of different food and drinks.
"So, where are you right now?" I asked while eating some classic fried toad.
"We're staying in a hotel near the palace. We've also rented a large field for us to hold our next performance," Megumin replied.
"Oh, you're planning to perform in the capital?"
"Yep, by the way, Yunyun bought herself a Lifetime Latte because everyone kept picking on her for being the weakest member."
I turned to Liz who just stuffed another cookie in her mouth. Her eyes widened and she quickly swallowed it. "Twas Okaa sama and Megami sama! They're the one who teased her!"
"But you're the one who made her cry," Megumin retorted.
"I simply said that your teasing are based upon the truth, I didn't mean to hurt her feelings!"
Megumin just rolled her eyes and looked back at me. "So that happened, she's level sixty five now,"
"What about Elena? Did you bring her here too?"
"No, she refused, she seems to hate the capital," Megumin looked at me in confusion. "Do you know why?"
"I know, but it's not my place to tell."
It was then I noticed that Liz has a pair of handgun strapped on her waist. I took a closer look at the handgun in confusion. Then I realized that I should've probably gave her handgun because it's much more discreet and useful.
"What is it Otou sama?" Liz asked.
"No, I just noticed that," I pointed at her handgun. "I guess a handgun is a bit more compact than a rifle huh?"
Liz quickly shook her head. "No, it's not that Otou sama. Fantasia Mark IV is great in its own way," she then grabbed both handguns and put it on the table in front of us. One of them black with red pattern and the other is black with purple pattern.
"This is Wrath," she gestured at the red one. "And this is Sloth," she gestured at the purple one. "Ojii sama gave it to me during one of my visit."
I tried picking up the weapon but it felt extremely heavy and unwieldy. I narrowed my eyes until I remembered about the enchantment Megumin told me dozens of chapters ago.
"So only you can use this huh?"
Liz nodded. "Yes, I asked him for that enhancement because I was worried Komekko would get her hands on it," she took the gun out of my hand. "Wrath and Sloth doesn't attract much attention so I can carry it with me anywhere.
A knocking suddenly appeared on the door. I turned to the entrance but no one enters.
"Umm, did you guys hear knocking?"
"No," Megumin replied.
"Perhaps you're being woken up,"
The soft knocking gets just a little bit louder.
"Alright, I'm up! Later everyone, I'll meet you later today!"
