Chapter 77 – Floor 11. Situation Over, Disperse!

Smooch- Slurp-

The sounds of two faces filling my vision, greedily seeking lips, tongues intertwining, and lips pressing together.

Receiving the competitive kisses of the two ghosts, I firmly gripped buttocks that overflowed even when my hands were fully spread, like solidified fog pudding.

“Mmm..♡”

“Haah, Hero… Severa…”

The two twisted their bodies, fluttering in response to my firm grip. Hearing those sweet sounds, I felt that the situation had been resolved.

‘Alcohol is fucking dangerous…’

Even though everything worked out well, I blacked out from just drinking that little glass.

I understand why they say alcohol is frightening.

Fortunately, nothing bad happened, but I didn’t even want to imagine what would have happened if I had encountered enemies in that state.

Severa, whose previously prickly hedgehog-like reactions had disappeared somewhere, was now kissing me fervently, pressing her body against mine and rubbing as if saying I could have her anytime. Maria, who had viewed Severa and me unfavorably, was now passionately kissing both of us as if she had never behaved otherwise.

“H-haah, Severa..♡”

“Mmm…”

Like the inscription carved on that angel statue on Floor 2, it seems Maria liked Severa.

After giving me a persistent kiss, inserting her tongue, she subtly turned her head, making the excuse that things should be fair, and was now eagerly exploring Severa’s mouth.

I barely caught my breath and escaped as the two shared a sticky kiss, with Maria holding Severa.

As if seeing this as an opportunity, Maria’s arms wrapped around Severa’s waist and buttocks without hesitation.

‘The sea would evaporate… salt prices would drop.’

Perhaps she had realized there were no longer any shackles from when she was alive—Maria’s actions were uninhibited.

As if this was what she had wanted from the beginning.

Leaving Maria’s partner to Severa, I used my body, which could barely move properly as my GOLD disappeared, to examine the items Maria had sold and put them into the mimic.

“This is paralysis potion, emergency rations, thorn potion…”

Clink- Clink-

As I organized, listening to the sound of glass potion bottles colliding, and classified them to put inside the mimic, it suddenly occurred to me that since the mimic could spit them out, I might not need to organize them at all.

Just a box that spits out whatever you need when you ask for it.

I thought I might have obtained something more amazing than I initially thought, as I pushed potions into the mimic’s membrane and checked each item one by one.

At least I need to know what’s in there to take it out.

‘A tier 4 axe… and a scroll of teleportation…’

Looking at the gleaming axe, I threw the dagger hanging at my waist into the mimic and attached the axe to my waist instead.

An axe is better than a dagger, regardless.

Among the items, which included a mix of potions, scrolls, and equipment, I picked up a book.

For Maria’s extremely cheap items to be worth 2,700 GOLD, there had to be something ridiculously expensive, and this book was it.

『Tome of Magic』An item that provides a skill just by using it.

A rare item that might only appear five times in one playthrough if not sold by merchants, and with a low probability of getting a skill that matches your build, it’s common to rearrange your build based on the tome you get.

But what I held in my hands wasn’t just that level of item; it was something I could confidently say was exactly what I needed.

“This actually appeared…”

『Prodigal Son Returns』

When the possessor of this skill takes damage that would reduce their Health to 0, that damage is nullified, and 100% of maximum Health is immediately restored, all hunger and thirst are recovered, and then this skill disappears.

Among insurances that negate death once, this had the least penalties and was the most reliable and stable method.

In a genre where one slip could lead to an endless fall into the abyss, the effect of restoring the player to perfect condition was incredibly attractive.

I could guarantee that this was the only skill in D.D. that no build would pass up.

Getting this tome for 2,700 GOLD was a bargain.

Without delay, I read the tome and learned『Prodigal Son Returns』, and the reassurance welling up inside me felt like I had eaten three bowls of hearty soup.

“Hah, I don’t need Busan’s famous pork soup at all!”

It would be perfect if the suspicious merchant on the next floor sold a『Tactical Command』tome, but of course, I didn’t expect that.

After all, it’s when you expect something that you get betrayed.

Those five characters added to my status window naturally raised the corners of my mouth.

***

Severa’s appearance, which I took time to observe, was quite a mess.

Her clothes, which clung to reveal her body’s outline, had been stripped off, showing her naked form, as if announcing she had been endlessly toyed with.

Not stopping there, her thighs were spread like a frog’s legs, and copious fluid was smeared between her mouth and crotch.

The ominously glowing blood-red eyes and cool, sharp gaze were gone, replaced by a mushy, melted, grinning expression that seemed mentally unhinged, making it hard to look at.

“Are you satisfied now?”

“Haah, ha… Hero…”

Maria, who had been rubbing between her chest and crotch with her hand while looking at Severa, turned her head.

Her mouth corners twitched upwards uncontrollably, forming an arc, and her eyes wavered like a child caught in mischief. I squatted down to meet Maria’s eye level.

“Hee, heeee…”

Severa, whose lower abdomen occasionally convulsed greatly, made a sound like air leaking from her mouth.

“You’ve been holding back for a long time, haven’t you?”

Tap-

“Ungh… s-something’s wrong with me… how could I do such things to Severa…”

When I placed my hand on Maria’s shoulder, her body flinched.

Does she feel like she’s done something wrong? As she bowed her head, seemingly confirming my thoughts, I had to negate that for her.

“I think you’re misunderstanding something.”

“Pardon..?”

Maria slowly raised her head.

Simple and innocent gentle eyes, curvy hair that, though the spirit form had faded its light, could easily be imagined to have glowed warmly as blonde hair during her life.

I looked at her face, then grinned and lowered my hand from her shoulder to knead her large breasts.

Massive breasts comparable to Kali’s, which drew admiration every time I saw them.

An overwhelming size that made it impossible to hide the desire to knead them, even though they were hidden under her loose white garment.

Squeeze─

As my fingers sank deep into the ectoplasm mimicking fat that wrapped around them comfortably, I found her nipples and held them between my fingers, squeezing tightly.

“Haah..♡”

“Looking like a tragic heroine doesn’t work when your expression reveals everything.”

A smile deeply etched on a seemingly harmless face.

That face, mixed with the sense of liberation, accomplishment, and happiness of having done what she couldn’t do until now, didn’t seem to be reprimanding herself at all.

“You like Severa, don’t you? No, you love her.”

“…”

“But whether due to society’s gaze or fear of not being accepted, I don’t know, but you gave up while you were alive.”

Squeeze- Squeeze-

I gradually moved closer to Maria’s face. The distance between our eyes and between our lips was not even half a span.

With my face suddenly so close, Maria couldn’t turn her head away and exhaled breaths that couldn’t get heated, haa- haa-, with eyes that seemed to be expecting something.

“But what does that matter now?”

“Pardon..?”

“Since you’re already dead, you don’t need to care about others’ gazes anymore, so what does it matter? You could embrace, kiss lips, and touch intimate places just as you’ve always thought about.”

Maria had given the impression of a noble hero or a pure saint, but being human, she wouldn’t be completely without dark desires.

That’s why she turned Severa into that state as soon as the restraints were loosened.

Maria seemed to realize this meaning, as she lightly placed her hand over mine, which was freely kneading her breast like dough. It didn’t seem like she was trying to stop me.

“What’s wrong with that? You just had the opportunity you’ve been waiting for right in front of you, and you took it.”

“But…”

“You enjoyed it, didn’t you? Was it so different from what you usually imagined?”

“No..♡”

As if the thought was making her body heat up again, Maria’s eyes, which had been glancing at me, turned toward the fallen Severa with a sweet sound.

A pathetic sight for what was supposedly a wraith that had struck fear in the sewers.

But as if that appearance was more lovable, Maria’s gaze grew warmer, and I explored her lower region with my other hand.

I found the crevice between her plump and soft thighs, befitting her impressive breasts, despite being a ghost.

Squelch─

The moment my fingers touched, the flesh swallowed them softly with a sticky sensation.

“Haang, mmm… Heroo..♡”

“Do you think Severa would start disliking you just because I said you like her?”

Squelch─ Squelch─ Squelch─

As I gradually increased the speed of fingering Maria’s vagina, drops of ectoplasm that evaporated when hitting the floor fell with a drip- drip- sound.

“N-noo..! Severa would never… do thaat..!”

“Then there’s no problem.”

Smooch─

As I touched Maria’s lips, which felt cool due to the absence of human body heat, our tongues met, pushing gently.

Despite being a ghost, I felt a volume different from Severa’s as I sucked on her tongue and mouth, which felt like a mixture of thick fog and cotton candy.

“Mmm, slurp… smooch…”

The sound of lips separating, which sounded somewhat embarrassing.

“If you continue to accompany me on my journey as you have so far, Maria, you too can be happy together with Severa.”

Maria, whose face had turned red, made a shy expression.

“Such… this is the first time I’ve received such a passionate courtship..♡”

Maria covered her heated face with her hands as if embarrassed.

“…Please give me a little time, Hero.”

Shooosh─!

Despite making such a shy maiden-like face, she violently and vulgarly shook her hips, spraying ejaculate onto Severa who was lying on the floor, but I decided to consider it a small sacrifice.

I’m sorry! Severa-dochi!

But you wouldn’t want your friend to be unhappy either, right?

Now, shall we head to Floor 12!

Clank-! Clank-!
