Honey Trap! ~The Honey Trap Encirclement to Ensnare the Summoned Hero~ - Chapter 125 & 126

Chapter 125: The Elf Island’s Erofessor

Guided by the clan chief, Yuri and his group arrived at the scholar’s home.

Out of consideration for the neighbors, Agamemnon had shrunk to human size for the visit.

“Oh, hello. New faces, aren’t you? Could you be from off the island?”

“…Whoa?”

Yuri was speechless before the elf who appeared.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Lutiana. Feel free to call me… Luti, maybe?”

Tall and slender, with long chestnut hair tied in a ponytail.

Wearing what looked like a blazer and a tight mini-skirt—a stunning beauty in a teacherly outfit.

A beautiful elf teacher…!

Is this even allowed?! trembled the hero. There was only one response…

“Yes, Luti-sensei!”

She’s a scholar, so it’s not wrong, right?

※

“Aida, you say? I think she headed to the World Tree city. Said she wanted to do some stargazing.”

“…Stargazing?”

“Yes. Apparently, she needed clear air and a high vantage point. The top of the World Tree is perfect for that.”

Perfect.

Sure, it’s perfect, but is that really okay…?

“She was very studious. She eagerly helped with my research too.”

“Oh? What kind of research do you do, Luti-sensei?”

Luti’s eyes sparkled, her face lighting up with You asked the right question! Too late, Yuri realized this was a mistake.

“Hehe, good question! My current research theme is, plainly put, sex.”

“…Sex?”

“Might be a bit intense for you. To put it simply, it’s about the act between men and women. About six months ago, a dimensional rift opened, and these things fell onto the island.”

“This is…!”

The cupboard was opened, revealing artifacts from another world.

To Yuri, the world-saving hero, these posed the greatest crisis of his life.

—Thinking back, since being transported to this world, he’d faced many dire situations.

Like when he tried waking a grumpy Eremia by banging pots outside her tent.

Her furious fist had roared, and he genuinely thought he’d die.

Or the morning after spending a night with Princess Lunaria in her frilly maid outfit. That was undeniably a life-or-death crisis.

When Clara caught them, he seriously thought, I’m done for.

The hero had overcome countless crises, mostly woman-related, but he’d survived… right?

Anyway.

As a hero who’d endured every trial, he now faced this new threat with every fiber of his being!

“These are treasures from another world that arrived six months ago… called ero doujin.”

Yes, somehow, his personal treasures had crossed worlds and stood before him!

※

“…Ero doujin, huh. Ha. Yeah. I haven’t the slightest clue what that is. Japanese people don’t lie, you know.”

“Hey, playboy, did you hit your head? Your eyes are darting like crazy.”

“I know this symptom. Probably ate some bad mushrooms. Here, take an antidote and heal up.”

“Even you get stomachaches, huh? I thought you had iron guts…”

The accusations were brutal.

But no matter what they said, Yuri didn’t care.

They must not suspect… the fact that this stack of thin books was his treasure…!

“These contain the wisdom of another world, depicted with astonishing detail. Some even have colored pages! And so beautifully done!

Surely, they hold significant knowledge.”

“Whoa.”

“This outfit, too, I recreated from one of the books. It’s the attire of a master teaching disciples important knowledge.

They taught not just knowledge but the act itself… a lesson that neither experience nor logic should be neglected.”

Just kill me.

Having an onee-shota teacher ero manga explained so loftily, Yuri could only pale.

※

“This is…! Truly a treasure trove of wisdom, Luti-sensei! Something sleeping in my heart is resonating…!”

“Ho-ho! This is, hmm, scandalous! Truly scandalous content! I want a copy!”

“W-Wait, what is this…! It’s shameless! Utterly shameless! Eek, they even drew that part… Oh, so that’s how boys are…”

The ero doujin pass-around began. A public execution.

The world-saving hero, knocked out cold. Soul escaping his mouth, he collapsed.

“Just… kill me…”

Lily and Luwi’s excitement was like middle school boys reading their first porno.

Except their gender was wrong. It was beyond unbearable.

As for his comrades, who’d faced countless dangers together—

“Hmm, books give me a headache. I’m heading back for today.”

“Aye. Staring at words makes me sleepy. Must be the Evil God’s curse.”

“With these claws, human books are tough to read. Can’t be helped…”

Talk about heartless.

By the way, Agamemnon was a master at opening beer bottles with his talons.

Chapter 126: The World-Saving Hero’s Three-Minute Cooking Lesson

—Previously on Honey Trap!—

Yuri, the hero, stood alone and unsupported. With no aid from his comrades, he faced his greatest enemy in a dire situation: his past self. Confronting himself, what shocking choice did he make…?

(Spoiler: He runs away.)

While his heartless comrades warped back home and Lily and Luwi dove into ero doujin, Yuri somehow managed to reboot.

I can’t fall here…!

With the resolve of a hero facing a final boss, he gritted his teeth, stood up, and glanced at the door.

“Sorry, I’m just gonna hit the bathroom real quick!”

He bailed.

Yes, this was a strategic retreat.

Sometimes, a man’s gotta know when to run!

※

“That said, what now?”

Strolling near the village, ogling passing elf ladies, Yuri pondered his next move.

The gorgeous elves all eyed him warily. Even for a dense hero, this stung.

Luwi must’ve caused some havoc back then… Maybe I’ll hunt a random monster to show I’m harmless.

As he mulled over this half-baked plan, a blonde elf (a beautiful girl) came running in a panic.

Her ample chest bounced dynamically. Bras, it seemed, hadn’t caught on in this mystical island. Yuri couldn’t help but stare.

“Kyaa! A m-monster! A huge monster’s over there…!”

“For real!?”

“P-Please get Luti-san! She might know how to drive it off…!”

“Got it, leave it to me!”

A perfect chance to dodge suspicion!

Yuri eagerly backtracked, grabbed Luti, and rushed to the scene.

※

“KISHAAAA!”

“Oh no… an ancient serpent’s woken from hibernation…”

At the scene, a massive snake had just emerged from the ground.

Half-buried, its body alone seemed two meters thick.

Luti, pale, observed the serpent from a distance.

Then, as if haunted, she began reciting an old legend.

“Long ago, they say a snake that could swallow bears lived here. But that era of terror ended when the land grew cold… The snake burrowed underground, falling into a long slumber… But why? Why now…?”

““““Oh.””””

Lily looked guilty, Luwi whistled off-key, and Rieze clutched her head.

Even Yuri caught on.

Yes, Agamemnon’s earth-shaking landing…!

“Alright, I’ve got this!”

Luckily, the elves were too panicked to notice.

If he could defeat the snake before anyone realized, he’d bury the evidence!

With shady motives, Yuri leaped before the snake.

The crowd’s reactions split sharply.

“What!? H-Hey, what’re you doing!? No way! Come back, let’s escape together, hurry!”

“No way!? Dimwit, don’t overdo it! You’re getting married, so get outta there!”

“…I kinda feel bad for the snake.”

“Me too. Oi, lad, go easy on it!”

Thumbs-up over his shoulder, Yuri faced the snake.

Its tail seemed stuck, writhing as it slowly emerged from the ground.

Its jaws were massive, easily able to swallow two or three humans.

“KISHAAAAAA!!!”

With the snake’s deafening cry, Yuri steeled himself to deliver a fitting one-liner—

“Kaboyaki…”

“KISHA!?”

His true thoughts slipped out.

Come to think of it, during the Evil God-slaying tour, they’d encountered a sea serpent.

It met a tragic end via Eremia’s flying kick, but its kabayaki was divine…!

It’s about the same size, so this one’s edible too, right?

“Alright, let’s do this, Kabayaki! I’ll grill you up nice and juicy!”

“KISHA, KISHA…!?”

No reliable comrades here now.

No Eremia for the finishing blow, no Lucius for expert bleeding, no Agamemnon for perfect fire control.

But even a lone hero can pull off a three-minute cooking lesson…!

“First, light magic to lop off the head!”

“KISHA…”

Sliced by a laser, the snake collapsed. A pitiful end.

The elves erupted in cheers.

Sure, it was a setup, but cries of “He saved the village!” echoed.

But the hero didn’t rest on his laurels—he moved to the next step.

“Next, the skin… Hmm, let’s strip it with lasers.”

“Oh! Truly, lad, that’s some fine magic control! Like a giant cooking a snake…!”

“Should I be impressed or dumbfounded? I don’t know how to react.”

“…Huh?”

The crowd was baffled.

They thought an epic battle was coming… but it was a man’s home cooking. Utterly confusing.

“Then Waterfall to rinse it! Wash out the stench, and prep’s done! Now to cut the meat and make kabayaki!”

“…Hey. Is that dimwit actually amazing? Or just insanely stupid? Maybe both?”

“I can’t quite say… My dear one is a man who embraces both the pure and the impure…!”

“That magic control’s top-tier on the continent. No, probably the world. The use, though, well…”

Lily spouted vague praise, staring off. Luwi, initially impressed, trailed off.

As Rieze clutched her head, Yuri’s cooking class chugged along smoothly.
