Chapter 21: Even Big Sis Is Going To Do Something Lewd!?

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

■　■　■

“Kia’s presence… I can feel it coming from inside here.”

Imelda, the heroine who commanded a pack of rough-and-tumble bandits, crossed her arms in front of the suspicious cavern.

“You lot, the last time you saw Kia was this morning, right?”

“Yes, Big Sis!”

It was already evening. For a scouting mission, she was far too late returning. Feeling uneasy, Imelda had set out from their hideout with her underlings to find her. She had brought three men with her. All of them were subordinates who practically worshipped her. Imelda’s bandit group was almost entirely male. Imelda and Kia were the only women in the group.

“Do you think little Kia got herself lost, maybe?”

“That squirt, always getting ahead of herself.”

“I bet she’s so scared right now she’s wetting herself! Gahahah!”

They were good-natured enough, but they lacked any sense of delicacy. Neither Imelda nor Kia paid it much mind, but they were exactly the type of men society tended to shun.

“Alright, I’ll just grab her by the scruff of the neck and—whoa!?”

The subordinate who attempted to enter the cave recoiled as if he had been repelled by something at the entrance.

“What’s wrong?”

“N-no, it’s just, there’s something here—”

“Stop talking nonsense. There’s nothing there… wait, what!?”

All three men were struggling, seemingly blocked by an invisible wall.

“A trap? Leave it to me.”

She reached out.

…Nothing.

“Huh? That shouldn’t be right, whoa!? There really is something there!?”

“…. I suppose it’s the type that doesn’t let men through.”

This was becoming increasingly suspicious. A cave that only lured in women—

“A dungeon, then. There’s a high probability Kia is being held captive here.”

“What!? Kia-chan is being subjected to this and that!?”

“Our literal little sister!!”

“Kia-tan! Save our Kia-tan!!”

“Honestly, you guys…”

Surrounded by these indelicate fools, Imelda was well aware they were a bad influence on Kia’s upbringing. However, they weren’t the type of men to actually lay a hand on her, so for now, she simply left them to their own devices.

“I’ll go get her myself. Regardless, that’ll be more convenient anyway.”

If Kia was going through a “terrible time,” it would be better if at least another woman was the one to witness it.

“N-no way!? Even Big Sis is going to do lewd things!?”

“This is bad! Big Sis has an amazing figure!”

“She’ll be prey! Prey for the nasty monsters!”

“…I’m going.”

Deciding that she might actually need to discipline them later, Imelda stepped into the darkness.

■　■　■

“She really did come—”

I observed the new intruder, the thief Imelda, on the monitor projected onto the wall. She possessed thieving skills superior to Kia’s and carried herself with composure. Despite being in an unknown dungeon, she didn’t lose her cool, yet she didn’t lack boldness either. She looked like a formidable opponent.

By the way, Kia was still in the middle of her bath. She had been desperate not to let go of me, but I managed to distract her by turning the jacuzzi on. If anything happened, Oboro—whom I’d left to keep watch—would send me a telepathic message. Meanwhile, I had put my clothes back on and was currently hiding in one of the dungeon’s corridors.

“Now then, what should I do?”

Thieves had excellent resistance to traps. Their intuition was as sharp as a first-rate adventurer’s, and they excelled at disarming mechanisms. I had tried setting a few things already, but Imelda was bypassing them with ease.

…In that case. It was the same in the game. It’d be best to throw monsters at a thief. Her combat ability was strictly Bronze Grade. If I dispatched a powerful monster, I could defeat her easily. However, the goal wasn’t just to defeat her. I wanted to keep the commotion outside to a minimum.

“Should I have Oboro go out again or…”

A powerful monster. Among my “comrades,” the strongest was, without a doubt, Medi. Actually, by having her take on a human form, I was now able to toggle her petrification ability on and off. Unlike before, she wouldn’t turn anyone she made eye contact with into stone without question. Even so, it remained a terrifying ability. Being turned to stone was essentially the same as death.

…Though, judging by the behavior in the original game, there was a chance they would “return to normal after time passes.” In the game, characters who were supposedly petrified would sometimes return if enough time went by. Well, that was just in the game mechanics. Whether the same phenomenon would occur in this world was something I wouldn’t know without testing.

“But still… if the bandit gang sees a petrified Imelda.”

It would eventually turn into an uproar. If that happened, invaders would appear one after another to conquer this dangerous dungeon. I wanted to avoid that scenario. I wanted to use Medi’s petrification power for a quick solution. But I didn’t want to leave her petrified forever. How could I…

“Unyurururu—”

“Whoa!? What, the Roper?”

The Roper I had employed in the bathhouse earlier had followed me. …Even this Roper might be able to beat Imelda. Should I forcibly take her to the bathhouse and dunk her in? But that wouldn’t necessarily break her spirit. Besides, Imelda seemingly didn’t like baths. If she was just a “picky hater” like Kia, that would be fine, but if she truly just hated baths, the effect would be limited.

“Sorry, but please step back—no, wait.”

Above the octopus-like head of the Roper, something unfamiliar was being “displayed.”

[▼]

“A drop-down list?”

It was that thing you see on websites or spreadsheet software. I didn’t think I could see something like this until now.

(For now, I’ll try hovering the cursor over it…)

“Oh? What’s this, a status? Settings?”

———————————- [▼]

Roper 【Bronze Grade】

A low-level monster that uses tentacles as weapons. Its magic power is weak and its health is low, but the muscular strength of its six tentacles is high. It restrains female adventurers to ■■■ them or ■■ their ■■, providing inescapable pleasure. Its highly viscous body fluid is ideal for ■■ing a woman’s ■■, and in terms of ■■ing female adventurers, it is not out of place to call it 【Silver Grade】…

———————————-

To think there was setting text like this.

(But I don’t remember seeing this even during the game…?)

———————————- [▼]

…Additionally, the design was inspired by ■■-sensei’s doujinshi, and for the creation of this game, it was arranged by ■■■-sensei. It’s a cliché, but tentacles are a must for erotica, so this monster was planned right after the goblin. Originally, I considered a setting where the tentacles would ■■ or use ■■■ to ■■ a girl and plant ■■, but I figured that would be too strong for 【Bronze Grade】? So it was scrapped.

Honestly, I thought those kinds of delicious plays should be put in the later stages of the game. So, since it’s for the early game, I increased its weaknesses. It’s particularly weak to ice, fire, and metal. Adjusted to the point where even a thief could beat it. Settled on it being about even with Kia and unable to beat Imelda. 

———————————-

(?? Is this perhaps from the creator’s perspective? Like “behind-the-scenes” lore? If I recall, the elemental weaknesses weren’t made public either. I heard that volunteers online finally figured it out through data mining.)

“This is useful.”

I was glad I saw it. Had I sent the Roper to attack Imelda, it likely would have been counter-killed. 

(If the Roper is no good, it’s Oboro’s or Medi’s turn after all—)

“Oh. There’s more.”

———————————- [▼]

…Furthermore, another characteristic is the generation of “clones.” In reality, life only resides in the main body. Therefore, whether the clones are cut down or crushed by a female adventurer, the main body feels no pain or itch. It is a monster with the ghastly habit of weakening a female adventurer that way before the main body ■■■s her.

———————————-

“Clones that aren’t alive, huh… then I can test it.”

“Unyuu?”

“—Medi, come here.”

I called for Medi, who had been watching the house.
