Chapter Index

    Before we could begin our grand, clattering Shark Cuisine Operation, Hena set up the footholds.

    The operation’s name was ridiculous, but the shark-bros we were facing were not.

    The sheer pressure from the bulked-up, muscular shark monsters felt like it was squeezing my lungs and heart before we’d even started.

    “Don’t make a sound. Come up slowly.”

    “Okay…”

    Hena was tense.

    She was the key to this entire operation. Only if Hena and I were safe up here…

    …could Kushina and Yuuna fight with everything they had down below.

    ‘It would be great if I could just take care of them easily with Personality Excretion, but…’

    That wasn’t going to happen.

    Just one look told me that my B-rank-ish Glock wouldn’t even scratch the Blue Shark Giant’s body.

    My only choice was to trust in Yuuna’s attack power, which had been buffed now that she was an onahole.

    Yukihime would slice through the Shark Giant like a sashimi knife.

    Given the structure of a shark’s head, it didn’t seem like they could look up at us like a person or jump to attack.

    Still, just in case, I kept Hena close to my side.

    “Stay right next to me.”

    “Okay…”

    Here, we hit an unexpected snag: the simple fact that high places are scary.

    The fact that the footholds were translucent was not good for my mental health.

    It was a terrifying spot to be in, even for someone without a fear of heights.

    Hena’s shoulders were trembling, but she was desperately trying not to let any words of weakness escape her lips.

    Just seeing that made me feel like half the operation was already a success.

    “Hena.”

    “Y-Yes?”

    “You know about the suspension bridge effect? They say you’re more likely to develop feelings for someone you meet on a shaky bridge.”

    “I’ve heard of it.”

    “Then we’re at a total advantage right now, aren’t we?”

    Hena’s trembling stopped.

    Instead of looking at the foothold that seemed ready to vanish at any moment, she was looking only at my face.

    “I… I already like you so much, my feelings can’t get any higher.”

    “In that case, let’s just try to enjoy this like an amusement park ride.”

    “Okay!”

    A signal came from below, telling us they were ready.

    I immediately designated one of the Shark Giants and pulled the trigger on my Glock.

    Bang! Bang!

    Just as I expected, the bullets didn’t even pierce its hide; they just ricocheted off.

    ‘Handgun fire is completely useless.’

    Looks like I’ll need to get a shotgun infused with Magical Beast Steel before I can even think about getting an Excretion estimate.

    “Kuuuuuuh!”

    The Shark Giant roared.

    As expected, its fish brain had no idea where the attack had come from.

    I immediately emptied the Glock’s entire magazine.

    In that opening, Yuuna swung Yukihime, landing a massive slash across the Shark Giant’s torso.

    Slaaaash!

    “This deep… Is this really my power?”

    Yuuna seemed shocked by the effects of the onahole buff.

    “How about it? Why not take this chance to become Master’s onahole for real?”

    “I prefer being his girlfriend.”

    “What if Master asks you to become his onahole?”

    “…S-Sang-hyeok wouldn’t make such a vulgar request!”

    “Oh my. How pure~.”

    Watching the situation from above, I shouted.

    “Kushina! The other giant is coming!”

    “Over here!”

    She used a taunt-type skill, developed through her Exhibitionist talent.

    With [Draw Aggro], they each took on one Shark Giant. But since Kushina didn’t have an onahole buff, her role was more about buying time.

    “Are you okay?!”

    “Hup!”

    Kushina, clad in her bikini, moved nimbly, dodging the Shark Giant’s anchor-smashing attacks left and right.

    Even without a buff, a B-rank is a B-rank. Amazing!

    “Don’t push yourself, Kushina. Just stall for time!”

    “Yes!”

    The core of this operation was for Yuuna to fight one-on-one with a Shark Giant and finish it within the time we could hold out…

    Yuuna mustered her strength and drove her sword strikes home.

    “Haaah!!”

    The Shark Giant’s body was quickly diced up by Yukihime, leaving it bleeding profusely.

    Even so, it continued to unleash powerful harpoon attacks and thrash about wildly.

    A relentless barrage of terrifying attacks, like charging forward to bite, kept coming.

    Yuuna deflected them all while meticulously landing effective hits.

    “Let’s move to the next foothold, Hena.”

    “O-Okay…!”

    Void Foothold Creation.

    We abandoned the foothold whose duration had expired and moved to a newly created one.

    ‘Three minutes have passed…’

    Kushina still had some leeway.

    Yuuna was pushing the Shark Giant hard. The floor was overflowing with the blood it had shed, so why wasn’t it going down yet…?

    Its durability was truly monstrous.

    ‘Hm?’

    Just then, the star corals hanging from the ceiling like icicles caught my eye.

    I hadn’t even realized I was surrounded by icicles until I had a moment of peace to look around.

    Now, I could see an object I could use.

    ‘So even a crappy ranged attacker can be useful, huh?’

    They weren’t as big as the massive, house-sized star coral standing like a tower in the center, but the icicles hanging from the ceiling were still quite large.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    I shot at the base of one, chipping away at it with my Glock.

    “What are you doing… Sang-hyeok…?”

    “Getting ready to drop this.”

    But I had to guide it carefully so it wouldn’t hit Yuuna or Kushina.

    It was fine for now. In the worst-case scenario, I’d be the first to know if it was about to fall.

    I had told them I’d shout if the situation changed…

    ‘I’ll keep an eye on the drop point.’

    “Hnngh. Haaah!!”

    I checked the situation. She still hadn’t taken down the first one.

    I was starting to get a little anxious.

    “My Draw Aggro is over! It’s heading your way!”

    Kushina’s taunt ended, and Yuuna was now facing two Shark Giants at once.

    It was at this point I felt the operation wasn’t going as planned.

    ‘Shouldn’t one of them be down by now?’

    It was still alive after taking a six-minute-long onslaught from an enhanced Yuuna?

    Its body was torn to shreds, looking like its insides were about to spill out, yet it showed no signs of tiring.

    ‘So this is the durability of a Blue Shark Giant…’

    Looks like I have no choice but to fuck it up with Personality Excretion!

    “Yuuna! Get out of there!”

    “Huh!?”

    “Star Coral drop, incoming!!”

    Yuuna immediately understood the situation and pulled back.

    Bang! Bang-bang-bang!

    With my final shots, the star coral that had been hanging about fifteen meters up struck the head of the Shark Giant whose guts were exposed.

    KUUUUUUUUUNG!!

    Whoa. Shit. That’s gotta hurt.

    Sorry, but I have no mercy for monsters!

    “Personality Excretion Star★Coral!!”

    Vwip-vwip-vwip-vwip-vwip-vwip-vwoooosh!!!

    The Shark Giant, which had withstood over five minutes of Yuuna’s desperate sword strikes, couldn’t handle the Star Coral drop and Personality Excretion combo. It collapsed, spewing an enormous amount of jelly.

    “…One left…!!”

    “Sang-hyeok! Watch out!!”

    The other Shark Giant had noticed us.

    It swung its harpoon. It wasn’t high enough to reach, but the shockwave alone was enough to crack the void foothold.

    “S-Sang-hyeok—!”

    “It’s fine!”

    I hugged Hena and fell.

    There was no time to put her in my inventory or anything like that. When I came to my senses, I was striking a pose while holding my girlfriend, falling from a height of ten meters.

    KUUUNG!!

    “Keuk!!”

    Even with a body enhanced by purchased stats, it hurt like hell.

    All the oxygen was forced out of my lungs, and I couldn’t breathe.

    “Hena, are you okay?!”

    “Y-Yeah. But, Sang-hyeok, you…”

    Still, I’m her boyfriend.

    After checking that my beautiful, K-cup girlfriend was okay, I emptied my entire magazine at the approaching Shark Giant from my position on the ground.

    Bang-bang-bang!!

    I couldn’t move from my lying position.

    The Shark Giant charged, holding an anchor in one hand and the harpoon from the dead giant in the other!

    I took one down, just as planned.

    You can do this, girls!

    “Where do you think you’re going?!”

    With Yuuna’s piercing scream, Yukihime drew a crescent moon in the air.

    A picturesque slash, like something from an ink wash painting, severed the tendons in the Shark Giant’s leg.

    As the Shark Giant faltered, Kushina dashed forward, used its thigh as a springboard, and landed a bikini kick right on its jaw.

    THWACK!!

    Good. If it’s just one… they can do it…

    Hena grabbed me and shook me.

    “Sang-hyeok! Are you okay? Don’t you die! Sang-hyeok!”

    “I’m not gonna die…”

    But it was a fact that I didn’t have the strength to get up.

    Thanks to Yuuna’s fierce assault, the Shark Giant was in no position to pay any attention to us.

    In the meantime, I reloaded my Glock…

    And aimed at the Shark Giant’s exposed torso.

    “Now.”

    Time for some shark cuisine.

    Bang! Bang-bang!

    With a three-shot 「Excretion Drill」, I sniped the Shark Giant’s innards…

    It, too, spewed jelly and collapsed to the floor.

    “Become… an onahole.”

    The immense amount of jelly compressed and transformed into an onahole.

    [Dungeon Cleared]

    [MVP – 44% Kim Sang-hyeok]

    [Others – Nakamori Yuuna, Kim Sang-hyeok’s Onahole (Kushina), Henna Isis]

    We did it…

    The feeling of turning those two into onaholes was great. This is definitely a masterpiece.

    Yuuna, having sheathed her sword, ran over to where I lay.

    “Sang-hyeok! Kim Sang-hyeok! Snap out of it. Are you okay?!”

    “Master!”

    “I’m fine.”

    From this day forward, my dream is to die surrounded by beautiful women.

    The view of their chests from down here is insane.

    “Here, I brought the onahole Sang-hyeok made…”

    Yuuna placed the shark onahole on my chest.

    “You… could have given me this later…”

    Lying there beneath my girlfriends while holding an onahole felt strange.

    If I die, I’m not going to be buried with this thing, am I?

    [Shark Giant Onahole (Masterpiece)]
    [Its unpredictable tightness, reminiscent of a raging wave, is exquisite.]
    [Rarity: B+]
    [Tightness A, Durability S, Warmth C, Responsiveness C] [Personality Not Collapsed (100%)]

    As expected, two masterpieces.

    Serena, Stella.

    Your brother’s rich now.

    As I held the onahole and smiled happily, Yuuna and Hena shook me from either side.

    “Kim Sang-hyeok! Are you dizzy? You can’t fall asleep!”

    “Sang-hyeok, don’t die… Please don’t dieee!”

    Just then, the massive coral in the center of the star coral cave cracked with a sharp snap.

    Then, like a starburst, it began to shower Magical Beast Steel down upon our heads.

    An incredible reward time!!

    Everyone’s jaws dropped at the sight of the countless pieces of Magical Beast Steel raining down.

    [You have defeated the Shark Giants.]
    [The Sea God specially bestows upon you Magical Beast Steel – Moonlight.]

    What’s Moonlight?

    With my girlfriends’ help, I got up and moved toward the spot where the star coral had shattered.

    A special piece of Magical Beast Steel lay in the center.

    [Activating 「Insight·Red」]

    [Magical Beast Steel (Moonlight)]
    [Rarity: A+]
    [A special Magical Beast Steel imbued with the properties of moonlight.]

    “It’s a gift from an external god. I’ve never seen one before.”

    “…”

    Who should take this?

    Just as the situation was about to get a little awkward, Yuuna picked it up first…

    “This is for Sang-hyeok.”

    And placed it in my arms.

    “Yuuna, you were in the most dangerous position. Are you giving it to me just because I’m your boyfriend?”

    “Don’t be ridiculous! I want it so bad I’m practically drooling, you know? But… Sang-hyeok came up with the plan, and you were the one who fixed things when they went wrong.”

    “And you were the one who protected me when we fell… Sang-hyeok…”

    “…”

    Is it really okay for me to take it?

    I put the Moonlight steel into my inventory.

    “Hey? Aren’t you going to ask for my opinion?”

    “You’re my property.”

    “I naturally assumed it belonged to you, Master. I was planning to argue on your behalf if anyone tried to take it.”

    “There’s no one like that here.”

    The remaining Magical Beast Steel was all high-purity B-rank.

    We divided it equally among the three of us, excluding Kushina. I even gave Hena and Yuuna a little extra.

    The Moonlight steel was more than enough for me.

    [Essol Academy Student ID – Kim Sang-hyeok]
    [Remaining Coins: 2,511]

    My share of the distribution came out to about 2,000 coins.

    Did I make even more than at the Golden Orc Fortress?

    “I distributed it according to contribution.”

    “This is my first time getting MVP.”

    The star coral drop play must have been a good one.

    It was a feat made possible thanks to the Sea God’s thoughtful design.

    In a corner of the cave, a gravity wave appeared, showing a glimpse of the beach.

    It seemed it was time to return to where we started.

    When we arrived back at the beach, a bizarre fish-man crawling on all fours was waiting for us.

    [Fish-Man]
    [A demon merchant with the head of a fish and the lower body of a human, its skin covered in fish scales. It was cursed for eternity after trying to assault the Sea God. Its strength is comparable to that of an SS-rank Hunter.]

    “What is that? It looks disgusting…”

    Its fish head was one thing, but why was it crawling on all fours like a lizard?

    The Fish-Man, its body lowered to the ground, observed us silently with its vivid, fishy eyes.

    ‘Demon merchants are never normal…’

    Just then.

    “Sir Sang-hyeok!!”

    The goblin uncle appeared over the horizon.

    The sight of a goblin gliding across the surface of the sea was ridiculous enough, but by the time I noticed him, he was already nearby.

    “I have come today to purchase another special onahole. Hehehe.”

    He must have really liked the last onahole, because he was already smiling.

    …He managed to turn a profit after buying it at that price?

    My onaholes are pretty amazing, huh?

    “…”

    Kushina suddenly hid behind my back.

    She was on the verge of tears.

    I told her I wouldn’t sell her. But now that a demon merchant had actually appeared to buy an onahole, she was terrified.

    “But, Mr. Goblin.”

    “Yes?”

    “This fish… person was here first.”

    “…”

    “…”

    A strange tension flowed between the two demon merchants.
