After somehow settling Grand Master Pyeongcheon’s bombshell-like statement.

I went to Leviyah’s room to talk to her first for the upcoming schedule.

…I went, but.

“Hey, Leviyah?”

“….”

Far from entering Leviyah’s room, I was awkwardly standing in front of the door, unable to do anything. I don’t know why Leviyah is angry, but she locked the door tightly and remained silent inside the room, making it impossible to even have a conversation.

“…Hey, Leviyah. Can you open the door so we can talk?”

“….”

As expected, there was no reply.

I ended up scratching the back of my head, staring blankly at the door, and turned around.

Squeak

“?”

Just as I was about to turn back, the door opened cautiously.

A very slight gap.

And Leviyah’s white eyes visible through that gap. Leviyah’s gaze, looking at me with a pout, seemed quite dissatisfied.

“Come, in.”

“Yeah, thanks for opening it.”

“….”

Leviyah didn’t reply to my words and disappeared into the room.

I opened the door and went inside.

It seems like only a few days have passed since coming to the dwarves’ underground city, but there’s a slightly sweet scent in Leviyah’s room.

“Was there something like a scented candle?”

“Yes. Lucy unnie prepared it for me. She said it’s good for calming the mind.”

“Come to think of it, can you use divine power now?”

“…Yes.”

This question seemed to be off, as Leviyah’s expression darkened even more.

Then, Leviyah carefully turned around, slipped into bed, and said brusquely.

“Is that the only thing you care about?”

“Ah, no. It’s not like that.”

“….”

Leviyah is still turned away.

This is troublesome.

I don’t think we can have a proper conversation like this.

What should I do… I was worried. Leviyah slightly turned her body while covered in the blanket and looked at me.

Leviyah lying down and my eyes meet for a moment.

“Hero….”

“Hmm?”

“Do you…like women?”

“…What?”

W-what is she suddenly saying…

I was so flustered by the unexpected question that I couldn’t even answer properly, and Leviyah threw out the words.

“I saw it. You and…Baekryeon unnie and Seollin unnie and…Lucy nim, doing…that…sex….”

“Ah.”

I mentally smacked my forehead.

Come to think of it, Leviyah’s behavior started to get a little strange after I started having sex after joining up with Leviyah?

Damn it….

“You probably…did it with that Grand Master Pyeongcheon too…right?”

“…No? I didn’t. Nothing.”

“….”

“….”

I couldn’t meet Leviyah’s gaze, which seemed to be asking if that was true, and turned my gaze away.

I did it with Grand Master Pyeongcheon.

I did it deeply. I did it for 3 days straight…. It feels like the first time I’ve done it for that long since Lucy made me have a lot of sex in my dream world to kill me from overexertion. No, honestly, I did it much more than that time.

Back then, I stopped in less than a day thanks to the help of the witch and the holy sword.

“…Pervert.”

I have nothing to say.

But to make an excuse, to be honest, I never made the first move.

Baekryeon, Seollin, Lucy, and even Grand Master Pyeongcheon….

They all seduced me first, I didn’t touch them first.

Of course, in the case of Baekryeon or Seollin, I could have refused, but I just went with the flow….

In the case of Lucy or Grand Master Pyeongcheon, I’m also a victim.

I was forcibly violated.

…Saying it like this sounds a bit strange, but that’s how it is.

“Not to…me.”

I didn’t quite hear Leviyah muttering due to my deep self-reflection.

“What did you say?”

“…No, nothing.”

“Is that so?”

It seems like it would be difficult to have more conversation in this situation, so I decided to just get up.

“I’ve said it a few times, but if it’s hard, tell me anytime. I need your strength, but I won’t force you to squeeze it out.”

“…I understand. I’m sorry for worrying you.”

“Okay. Then get some rest.”

After Leon left, Leviyah briefly looked at the door he left through, then buried her face in the pillow and muttered softly.

“You didn’t…touch me….”

* * *

“Still, Grand Master Pyeongcheon joining my side can be seen as a huge benefit.”

After coming out of Leviyah’s room, I thought as I walked down the hallway.

Simply put, one more person with the same skill level as me has joined this side.

To think simply, the combat power has doubled, and to think deeply, the range of actions that can be taken has increased enormously.

“Maybe I should change the existing plan?”

The existing plan was to have me directly clash in the front to draw the attention of the , while others infiltrated to target her main body, but in this case, Grand Master Pyeongcheon can draw the attention instead of me, or Grand Master Pyeongcheon can be put into the infiltration side….

“…No, let’s not do that.”

In a situation where she kills her partner every time she has sex because she can’t control her strength, it doesn’t seem like she would be suitable for the infiltration team, where stealth is important.

Rather, Grand Master Pyeongcheon aggro pulling in the front is….

“…If that happens, it would be better to exclude Baekryeon.”

I can tell after a few battles.

In battle, she fights without paying any attention to the surrounding environment.

The wind that bursts every time she wields her weapon, the halberd ‘Pacho’, sweeps away everything around her, and even if Baekryeon or Seollin somehow endure it, I don’t think Leviyah, who still lacks experience, will be able to endure it.

“No, if you think about it that way, if you leave Grand Master Pyeongcheon on the ground to draw aggro….”

Just like a long time ago, when the dwarves were chased underground because they touched Grand Master Pyeongcheon’s nerves and things were shattered, the elves might end up in that state this time. Even though the branded the elves and turned them all into dark elves, I don’t know how many original elves are left.

“…Come to think of it, what happened to that guy?”

Originally, after breaking up with the party of Piaria and 4 others, you get 4 new party members.

One is Baekryeon, and the other is half-dwarf Anne Ivaldi.

Baekryeon joined first, and Anne Ivaldi is studying in the Magic Kingdom.

One of the remaining two is an elf.

But now the elf situation is a mess due to the ….

“Who are you talking about? Husband.”

“Whoa?!”

I couldn’t help but scream and turn around at the voice that suddenly came from behind.

It was Grand Master Pyeongcheon who appeared from behind without a sound.

“Wh-what’s going on here? Weren’t you guided to your room?”

“The place where a wife should be is next to her husband.”

“….”

What should I do with this woman….

“More than that, I heard about your plan from the concubine Lucy.”

“Lucy?”

Ah, come to think of it, was it Lucy who guided Grand Master Pyeongcheon?

It seems like the dwarves were afraid of Grand Master Pyeongcheon, so I remember Lucy guiding her instead.

“Supporting my husband is also the role of a wife….”

Grand Master Pyeongcheon, blushing slightly and avoiding eye contact.

I wondered what was going on, so I looked at Grand Master Pyeongcheon, and she looked at me again and said.

“You only asked about the , so I couldn’t answer at the time… but I didn’t properly tell you about the World Tree, which is the most important thing in her subjugation….”

“Is there any information you need to know about the World Tree?”

“Yes. First of all…the World Tree was originally just a long-lived tree, not a particularly special tree.”

Not a special tree?

“Before, you said that the ‘was trying to do something using the power of the World Tree’?”

“Yes. That’s true. However, unlike the current World Tree, back then it was just an ordinary tree that was only revered.”

“Then that’s strange. What about the story about the ?”

“After the appearance of an external being, the goddess prepared several devices to counter the one who stole the rank of Demon King from us in this world. And the World Tree was one of them.”

A device to suppress the existence of demons.

However, in preparation for when it is handed over to the existence of demons and fails to fulfill its role, the goddess entrusted the protection of the World Tree to the ‘elves’ among the races residing in the Western Continent.

“But among the elves, there appeared an existence who made a contract with a fragment of the devil and became a ….”

“The , who knew about the power of the World Tree, used it to achieve her goal… to erase all beings other than elves from this land, but was blocked by the goddess’ sword and sealed deep within the World Tree.”

Yeah. Except for the story about the World Tree, I’ve heard all of this.

“So?”

“After that, the barrier deep underground of the World Tree became a seal. And that seal basically rejects beings other than ‘humans’.”

“…Beings other than humans?”

“Yes. Dwarves, half vampires, beastmen, etc.…”

So, does that mean that everyone in this party except me and Leviyah can’t touch it?

“The elves ultimately play the role of preventing humans from approaching the barrier. If humans don’t approach, the barrier containing the goddess’ power will never be broken.”

“So, could it be that the reason the told me to come to the World Tree is….”

Is she trying to break the barrier in reverse by using me?

* * *

Hahahahahaha!!

A man’s hearty laughter is heard.

Dark night.

A small tent was pitched on the plains of the Western Continent, and in front of the bonfire, there were some humans and some beautiful women flattering him.

Their skin color was ‘black’, and their ears were ‘pointy’.

“I’m so relieved that the hero came.”

“Sob, our village is now being… by the .”

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it. Hahahahahaha!”

The women applaud and act cute at the man’s appearance, laughing heartily and talking loudly. Each of them has a very attractive appearance and body shape, so the man slightly looks at their chest shapes and raises the corners of his mouth.

“Ahem, but it’s late, so shall we go in and rest?”

“I like it.”

“The tent is small, so let’s sleep together, hero.”

“I can’t help it.”

The man entered the tent with the elves with black skin.

Soon, the lewd moans of women began to be heard from inside the tent.
