Reincarnated as a Dungeon Master, I Became Unstoppable by Doting on My Monsters—My Gorgeous Monsters Have Started to Conquer the World on Their Own! - Chapter 29.2: Yuuto Soemaki

The 12 monsters, excluding Margarita, forgot their mouths were sealed and roared, “Stop it!!”

“Now, go kiss Wito quickly. If you have a clear image and the appearance Wito initially set for you, the curse should be easily lifted.”

Suddenly, Margarita was kicked from behind by a priest and fell. Then, her head was dragged in front of the fallen Wito.

Muttering “I’m sorry… I’m sorry…” in her heart, the priest forced Margarita to kiss Wito, who had vacant eyes.

The kiss with her soulless beloved had no taste or pleasure; only the rough sensation of the tongue remained.

Then, her body was enveloped in light. Her monster form was transformed into a human one. It felt slightly similar to when she ranked up.

After that, no matter how much they resisted, all the monsters were forcibly kissed by the high-status priests by the unconscious Wito.

…Even if Wito had no intention of it, for the 13 monsters, dreaming of one-day connecting hearts and stealing a kiss from Wito was one of their happiness. Now, due to the proxy war of the gods, it was being fulfilled in a form that treated the heartless Wito as a tool for lifting curses.

Suddenly, Margarita noticed that blood was dripping from her glossy pink lips. Her body had already become human, and blood flowed from her lips, which she had bitten in humiliation and sorrow.

“Only super-beautiful girls, huh? Even if you randomly create beauties, it’s not easy to gather various types of beauties like this, right?”

Goddess Nanaya muttered contentedly. Margarita noticed that her peers had also transformed into beauties. Even so, she couldn’t bring herself to celebrate that now.

“Even so, this man has no principles. To think he holds love for all 13 of you.”

Goddess Nanaya directed a skeptical gaze at Wito.

Every word of that statement rubbed all 13 monsters the wrong way. However, they were bound and had no means of rebellion. Margarita’s right to speak had also been taken away due to her earlier statement.

“Now, this concludes our discussion. Priests, take them away. … I’ll give further instructions later. If you resist, Wito will suffer severe after-effects when he returns to being human.”

“Now, this concludes our discussion. Priests, take them away. … I’ll give further instructions later. If you resist, Wito will suffer severe after-effects when he returns to being human.”

Nanaya, the goddess, finally gestured as if to say it was over, shooing us away with her hands.

(Is this the end? The end of those precious days we spent together?)

Margarita’s mind was flooded with memories of the moment she realized Yuuto’s love, how her life began to take color when she wanted to be useful to Yuuto, and how her heart was filled with love just by meeting Yuuto.

(If only there were a reason why Yuuto is necessary to that goddess, I could save him! If only there was… if only…)

The door opened, and we were about to be expelled from the temple. Nanaya’s eyes were already looking elsewhere. What can I do? What can I do?

…Then it happened.

“Is my fourth question remaining?”

Jacqueline raised her hand and asked.

“…Fine. I promised, didn’t I?”

Nanaya reluctantly agreed, rolling her eyes.

“Earlier, you said that the blessings the council gave must balance with the sacrifices made. Can we stack blessings if we continue to sacrifice something more important than life?”

Jacqueline’s question was about that system.

“…You can. But obviously, you can’t offer something you’ve already offered. For example, if you’ve already offered your life, offering property or emotions within the scope of life is meaningless.”

It was an obvious rule. Why would she confirm such a thing now? Even Nanaya wondered what Jacqueline was getting at.

“But… Yuuto only offered his first love, right?”

Hearing that, Nanaya finally understood what Jacqueline was thinking.

…On Earth as well, in ancient times, there were ceremonies in Egypt and Mesopotamia where virginity was offered to gods for blessings.

However, because virginity is unique to each person, it was considered valuable enough to offer. Moreover, life is far more valuable than virginity. Therefore, the effect of such ceremonies was considered far less than human sacrifice.

But even so, Jacqueline saw a chance.

“I believe that Yuuto is someone who would consider any love, no matter how many times, to be more important than life itself.”

The value of a contract depends on how much the person values what they’re offering. That’s why a person who lives a decent life, possibly with a spouse and children in the future, has a higher rate when exchanging for divine blessings than someone reckless with their life.

Yuuto has always cherished even the smallest lives of G-rank monsters. Nanaya, the goddess, knew this too. He should also understand and value his life as much as anyone else.

It was hard for Nanaya to believe that such a person with sound values would repeatedly engage in love affairs that risked everything, including his life.

“There’s no way you can have such important loves multiple times… but let’s try it out. I can use charm magic, too.”

While checking the incantation for the charm magic in the core, Goddess Nanaya recalled the terms of her contract with Yuuto.

“I will do anything I can and offer everything I have.”

“In his contract with the Goddess Navalbi, it’s true that he had offered up his first love.

However, his next love and his life were not offered. That’s because, in his entire life, he had only ever felt love when he saw the mural of Goddess Navalbi.

Nanaya moved her lips, which were like a work of art, and began to chant. “We went on a picnic with three people, but I only looked at your legs. Can you believe it? I’m so pure and white that I’m hiding something from you now!”

It was a genuine divine chant that made everyone who heard it tremble and tear at their hearts.

A pink light emitted from Nanaya shot through Yuuto’s heart. Soon after, Nanaya’s expression turned to one of astonishment.

“You’ve got to be kidding me! His love… it’s too heavy. Is he stupid or something?”

Then, Nanaya let out a cry of joy after struggling with the popup window text several times.

“I did it! My blessings are entering! I made him offer his love, which is more important than his life! Not just his second love, but his third and even his hundredth love; I’ll take them all! Aha!”

As Nanaya’s laughter echoed, a magic circle appeared on Yuuto’s skin. Then his skin burst open, and a green shell emerged from within. This was another one of the blessings from Nanaya, the goddess of monsters.

The sight was unbearable for the 13 monsters to witness. The agony of seeing the man they loved has his heart stolen by a random woman’s magic—the suffering of watching his body tear apart and transform into a monster.

The first tears shed by the 13 monsters, now in human form, were tears of blood.

“Ahaha! How does one live to become someone who would offer anything so readily to someone they love?” 

The crazed laughter of Goddess Navalbi continued. She was already convinced of her victory in the proxy war.

Although unaware of the specifics of Nanaya’s blessings, Jacqueline had somewhat predicted this outcome. Being a guest and slightly removed from the dungeon, she understood Yuuto’s true nature.

Traveling the world for love, throwing away his life chasing the remnants of a mural he saw just once, spending ten years with monsters over a slight misunderstanding—yet still holding sound values and facing ordinary human concerns.

What kind of person could do that? Jacqueline concluded the answer was an ultimate dependent personality without a suitable dependency object. That was Yuuto’s true nature.

That’s why he was like someone who couldn’t live alone but had always lived alone. Imagining an ideal object of dependency like a goddess he had never properly seen, he would offer everything, even to the future of monsters.

Feeling both relief and melancholy that her conclusion was not wrong, Jacqueline watched Yuuto transform into a monster amid Nanaya’s loud laughter.

“This is the true blessing of Nanaya, the Goddess of Monsters! A blessing made solely to kill ever-evolving humans, a pitiful blessing for monsters!”

“…Ah.”

Under the spell of the charm magic, Yuuto, who could only give a vacant reply, had transformed into a massive humanoid monster that seemed to encapsulate the horror and ferocity of all 13 monster races.

“Don’t worry. Once the charm magic wears off, you’ll return to your original form. But you can’t fall in love again. If you find true love, you’ll lose value, won’t you?”

Saying so, Goddess Nanaya took out some contract. Yuuto’s signature wasn’t needed on it. His arrangement of “I’ll do anything” was still in effect.

“But you don’t have to find it, right? Until you find true love, you can remain a ‘Beast Unaware of Love.’ And you can keep falling for adorable me! Yes! You seem like you’ll become a monster I like even more than my masterpiece of a Dungeon Master!”

In Nanaya’s eyes, it swirled a gritty pink passion that had transcended the interests of the gods’ war.

“Aaaaaah!”

Margarita found the sight of Yuuto, who had everything taken from him, too painful to bear. She couldn’t think anymore and tried to embrace Yuuto with all her love.

However, Yuuto merely pushed that love away, enchanted by Goddess Nanaya.
