Hero-grade Training Camp.

The highest-level training camp that only the most talented awakeners, who were highly evaluated for their unprecedented status window abilities, could enter.

It was there that I met Dain Adamas.

“What kind of weakling is this?”

When I first met her, Dain Adamas said those words to me.

From that day on, during the six months of completing the training camp, the word “weakling” she used became a stigma and came to represent my name.

Well, among the camp peers, since Dain Adamas was the only one who acknowledged my existence, the title “weakling” was practically reserved for her use alone.

After graduating, all my camp peers moved to a place beyond comparison with me, and I was no longer called a weakling, but still, the word “weakling” didn’t fade from my heart.

I wanted to erase this stigma of being a weakling, partly because I believed I could improve, and also because I wanted to become strong like those who had gone up before me, even going into debt to become stronger.

But the result was far from good… no, it was so terrible that I can’t even begin to describe it. I became a complete failure, a debtor who lost his life and ruined his own life.

I learned the hard way that everyone has their own limits, and now, even when I see my former peers shining brilliantly in unimaginable places, I don’t feel anything.

I just think, “They’re living in a different world. I should just focus on living my own life.”

However.

[Meeting this weakling in a place like this again, and now as my caregiver. Frankly, after graduation, I never thought we’d meet again. As you know, our statuses are different, right? Well, there aren’t many who match my status in this world, but… that’s not relevant right now. Anyway, it’s nice to see you again. By the way, being a caregiver brings back memories. Even back then, without me saying a word, you seemed to understand and did what I wanted. It feels just like back then. Isn’t it your duty to work for my sake?]

Hearing these words from the one who stamped that stigma was an unbearable surge of anger.

[Realizing I couldn’t do anything alone made everything suspicious and irritating. I’m really glad you’re here. If it’s you, the weakling, I can receive care without worry. As I said before, no one has ever attended to my needs as well as you. You, as a person, are familiar to me.]

In my memory, Adamas preferred moving her body rather than speaking. Because with her divine physical abilities, every action she desired came so easily into her hands. Therefore, she felt more comfortable moving herself than using her mouth to joke around, and when she wanted something, she only used short directives like ‘that’ or ‘this.’

Later, she reached a point where she could perfectly and sensibly anticipate what Adamas wanted without even speaking. But now the situation had reversed. Overwhelming control in this relationship belonged to me, not to Adamas, the plant-human.

[But you know, I was really bored for a month. There’s nothing to see, no one to hear my voice… So, Weakling.]

Even before she finished speaking, I knew what Adamas wanted from me. This woman is trying to say, “Hey, tell me an interesting story.”

In the past, I would have just said, “Hey, tell me an interesting story,” without any preamble. However, it seemed like living as a plant-human for a month had instilled in Han Dain Adamas a sense of sociability. Of course, it seems that only a bit of sociability has been added, and I still think of myself as the same old weakling as before.

“Um, there’s something I need to tell you before anything else. It’s important, so listen to this first.”

Even though I’ve become a plant-human, I interrupted Han Dain Adamas, who still thinks he’s overwhelmingly superior. [······Important?]

I could sense his discomfort at my interruption. Interrupting Han Dain Adamas would have been unimaginable during our training days.

It was a creepy moment of nostalgia, but I suppressed my wavering due to PTSD and continued speaking. “I found out through the status window. The reason you’re in your current state is because of a curse.”

[What, what? A curse? Come to think of it, when I defeated the Rift Keeper at the gate, it did feel eerie······ Was that the feeling of being cursed?]

My subsequent words were as important to her as they were unsettling. Reflecting on the day we conquered the EX-level gate a month ago, I brought up the most crucial thing I had to say to her.

“And I know the cure for that curse. Before coming here, I met with Mei Luina and tried the cure myself, confirming its effectiveness.”

[R-Really!? You can cure it? You, the weakling? Please, help me too! Quickly! I want to escape from this suffocating darkness!]

Upon hearing that I could cure it, Han Dain Adamas, as expected, demanded the treatment with a hint of desperation in her voice.

From beginning to end, she didn’t deviate from my expectations at all. I smirked knowingly, confident that anyone seeing this suspicious half-smile with one corner of my mouth turned up would suspect something ominous.

However, as the only one in this hospital room who couldn’t see ahead was the plant-human hybrid, Dain Adamas, there was no problem with me smiling like this.

Maintaining that smile, I asked Dain Adamas, “Since the crack owner of an EX-grade gate is cursed, the treatment method is unique and intense. Are you really okay with this?”

[Hey! What do you take me for? I’m Dain Adamas, the strongest human on Earth! I can handle anything! Besides, whatever treatment method you can offer is nothing to me anyway!]

Really, so far, everything has gone exactly as expected. Simply put, he’s the most predictable guy in the world.

Thanks to his physical abilities, Dain Adamas was someone for whom the phrase “simple is best” suited better than anyone else. Of course, being simple doesn’t mean he’s stupid at all. He also possesses a brain that can instantly catch anyone harboring suspicious intentions with his unique intuition.

But now, his usual shrewdness seemed to waver just because of the treatment method being used as bait. Having easily obtained permission from Dain Adamas to do anything, I placed my hand on her forehead and silently prayed. Show yourself.

[User’s desire confirmed. The mark of the curse is appearing on the subject’s body.]

Simultaneously, after notifying me that the same mark as during my time with Meiluna had appeared, the notification vanished from my sight.

Alright, I’ve got permission and I’m prepared. Let’s get started.

“Okay, I’ll start the treatment.”

After briefly informing Dain Adamas of the start, I removed the blanket and began unbuttoning the front of her hospital gown.

Snap. Snap. Snap.

[Hey, what?! Hey, wait! What are you doing? Are you undressing me?! Are you insane?!]

At that moment, an unexpected reaction from Dain Adamas pierced my ears.

If it were back in boot camp, I would have kneeled and begged upon hearing such a forceful voice.

But with just a voice, I couldn’t do anything, and in this situation, I held all the cards.

“Ah, she’s undressing. And she’s insane. But it’s unavoidable for the treatment, so you understand, right? You said you’d do anything for the treatment.”

That’s why I was able to confidently respond to Dain Adamas without groveling like before.

[“You said you’d do anything, but still…”]

When I spoke confidently, it was actually Dain Adamas who seemed taken aback, and I swiftly removed the top that had been covering her large breasts.

When I faced the two mounds wrapped in a sports bra, I couldn’t help but forget that speed is crucial when removing clothing.

Because…

“Wow, is this for real?”

Her chest was so impressive that it could make all the special treatment methods I had in mind for Dain Adamas fly out of my head. They were like rockets, not sagging despite lying down, proudly displaying themselves as the strongest royal breasts on earth.

When I saw Mei Lina’s hypergravity storage, I sincerely admired it, wondering if there could be another perfect pair of breasts in this world. But now, the ranking of the best breasts within me had drastically changed.

“Admit it, Dain Adamas, you’re number one.”

Dain Adamas’s royal breasts were indeed the strongest on earth. Even though they were still wrapped in a sports bra, I couldn’t help but be convinced of the majestic royal breasts exuding an air of confidence, even without directly touching them.

[“What? You suddenly went quiet and started admiring and talking to yourself? Is this also part of the treatment or something?”]

“Huh? Oh, um, no. I’ll just finish getting ready then.”

However, Dain Adamas felt something odd about the admiration for the strongest breasts, which interrupted the moment, and I regained my composure and proceeded with what needed to be done.

[Hey, hey! Wait, wait a second! Where are you going? W-w-what?! Why are your pants off?! Do I have to take off my pants too? Ugh! Did you just unzip my bra? And my panties too? Are you seriously trying to leave me naked? Ahh! You really did it! You really took everything off! You even took off my bra and panties in one go! And to a weakling like me! You stripped me bare in front of a bread shuttle!]

*Sigh.*

Alright, treatment preparations complete.
