The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 956

Chapter 956: A Very Urgent Harvest

While beings from all over the universe experienced cold sweats, fevered dreams, well-wishes, and devoted prayers for snacks as they tried to recover from that day’s festivities or losses, the person who caused all of it was busy with something else.

Contrary to the assumption that the mastermind behind all such greatness was plotting his next steps for some grand takeover, one Luca Kyros simply couldn’t be bothered with something that wasn’t as important.

Especially in the face of something he personally found very exciting, how could he choose to focus on something else?!

"Pwah!"

A head suddenly burst out of the water as droplets flew everywhere.

"It’s here! It’s finally here! We actually got it!"

Luca waved around a dripping clump of reddish-purple seaweed with so much enthusiasm that the people floating on the nearby rafts immediately turned toward him.

The mass in his hand glistened under the sunlight. It was a tangled lump of thin, delicate strands that looked almost like wrinkled silk soaked in water. Its color shifted between dark crimson and deep violet as it dripped and swayed in Luca’s grip.

Next to him, several other heads began popping out of the water.

One of them pressed a button on the side of his mask, and the faint shimmer of a protective oxygen bubble surrounding him quietly vanished.

"Luca," Xavier said calmly as he deactivated the mask from his face, "you forgot to put back your oxygen mask earlier."

"Oh! Sorry!" Luca replied immediately and apologetically. "I got a little too excited!"

By this point, the rafts surrounding them had already begun drifting closer.

"Brother! You’re back!"

The loud voice of a certain blonde rang out from one of the rafts as Ollie leaned forward eagerly.

However, the moment the raft drifted close enough, his excitement shifted into confusion.

He pointed directly at the strange thing Luca was proudly holding.

"Umm, brother... what’s that?"

"Oh, this?" Luca said as he climbed over the edge of the raft with the excitement of a child eager to show his spoils. Water splashed lightly as he settled himself on the side. "This is the seaweed I was telling you about!"

"What?" Ollie blinked.

"That’s a seaweed?"

The blonde stared at the clump in Luca’s hands with deep suspicion.

Honestly, he really knew nothing about seaweeds, but when he did get the chance to play in the water, the submerged plants closer to land were mostly green and looked like underwater shrubs.

But this one that his good brother really liked looked rather... questionable?

Instead, it resembled thin, leathery ribbons layered atop one another, each sheet delicate but strangely tough, almost like translucent crimson paper crumpled together by the tide. The edges were uneven and slightly frilled, and when Luca shifted it in the light, the entire mass shimmered with a deep reddish-purple sheen.

If anything, to the curious blonde, it looked more like something pulled straight from a monster’s nest than something anyone would voluntarily eat.

It was honestly a little intimidating, despite it ironically being less threatening than a wiggly tentacle.

Ahem!

Well, in a way, Luca had comparable thoughts. But in his case, it was more related to suspension of disbelief.

Before the entire operation even started, the excited dungeon owner and perfectly spoiled wife vibrated silently in place as he watched Xavier and the other adults use the equipment his husband had commissioned specifically for today’s endeavor.

They checked for possible dangers.

They checked for issues with the water quality.

Then they checked again.

And again.

And then about three more times while plotting the best location for entry before finally giving in to Luca’s request to see it himself.
