Thump, thump.

Ascending. Normally, the act of ascending is arduous and difficult. It defies one of nature’s laws, gravity, yet living beings do not find it peculiar.

For the goal, for a better life. Pushing forward, chewing through difficult and painful endeavors. And descending is easy and enjoyable, akin to falling.

However, Grace was a bit different. Despite her descent, she was paradoxically looking upwards. Riding on the strongest knight and the mightiest steed, out of boredom, she placed Arkritchi’s pelvis on her erect phallus, commanded a chubby girl with multiple mouths to eat kimchi-flavored mint chocolate ice cream, filled the dog necklace around the arrogant-looking woman, made her perform a primitive tribe’s seductive dance naked, and left her at the entrance of the demon castle.

Enjoyable. Joyful even while facing upwards.

“Now, it’s time to truly enjoy.”

At the top of the demon castle, Grace extended her hands, brimming with magic, towards the sky, and tiny rifts in space appeared at her fingertips.

A vast amount of magic seeped into them. It was like pouring poison into a lake, such a sight.

“Let all things revel in more joy!”

The magic seeping through the rift spread rapidly into the world. First to be affected were the demons, monsters, and human soldiers of the demon army. Even ordinary humans would feel its influence.

“Ohohohohoho!!!”

Grace cackled maniacally.

“It should work out fine.”

Eilatia, once an angel turned demon, placed a pair of black wings and a golden-ringed halo on a geometric figure and muttered to herself.

“Even if the Goddess hadn’t forbidden connections with extraterrestrials, there would have been more data than this… Oh well.”

Regretful but resigned, Aye decided to proceed. She then burst into sudden laughter.

To those below, forbidden from contact with extraterrestrials. Hadn’t she occasionally brought mercenaries, warriors, and priestesses from other worlds?

She understood. There might be beings in the cosmos who could reduce this world to a speck of dust.

But now she was a demon. Disregarding the Goddess’s orders, she was a demon who cared only for profit.

And just because it’s extraterrestrial doesn’t mean it’s necessarily hostile. As many stars as there are in the sky, there are countless worlds with diverse tastes. And to Aye, it was a blue ocean in itself.

Aye’s plan was simple. Make contact with extraterrestrials using Azazel’s wings and the halo, then sell Serena’s AV on a trans-dimensional scale!

On a trans-dimensional scale, the profits would naturally be immense, propelling her onto the path of a professional!

It was a perfect plan.

“Let’s begin!”

Snap!

As Aye flicked her finger and activated the spell, the magic circle ignited the wings and halo, emitting a crimson light.

“Pair, unspecified multitude. Signal is good. Alright, communication, visuals, and power exchange are possible!”

A delighted smile lit up Aye’s face. But only momentarily. Soon, her expression froze due to an anomaly.

Tick, tock!

“Oh, damn it.”

As cracks appeared in the magic circle, curses escaped Aye’s lips.

If she failed now, it would result in significant losses. With that thought in mind, Aye tried to secure at least one proper pair by grasping the magic circle, but contrary to her wishes, the pairs slipped away from her hands indifferently, like sand trickling through her fingers.

“No, no.”

The path to professionalism was growing distant. Sacrifices (forced) were scattering.

And as the number of connected pairs dwindled to a single digit, Aye fervently prayed. Please let this child (AV) see the light.

She prayed earnestly. Yet, even amidst her prayers, time continued to flow, and the number of pairs kept decreasing.

And just as the last one was about to disconnect, time stood still.

“Huh?”

Time had not actually stopped. There was only magic that maintained the illusion of time standing still, unchanging.

“Ah ah ah! Thank you! Thank you!”

E bowed in gratitude to the deity whose name she didn’t even know, tears streaming down her face.

“Ah, Azajel. I will become a pro.”

Meanwhile, Azajel, who was currently giving birth to a noble’s pet tentacles in the Octopus Den, did not hear these words.

“Hooook♡ Hooook♡”

Squelch!

Splash! Shasha-sha-sha-sha♡

Labor began due to the recoil of the install. The sensation of organs coming out, the pleasure of parts of oneself gaining independence.

Serena wept and drooled, nodding her head, and naturally, a significant amount gushed out below without needing to be mentioned.

– Operating System Install 24%

– Neural control complete. Start of heart and lung activity.

Information popped up in Serena’s mind. If the heart and lungs were functioning normally, then she had passed the critical point.

“Hoooop!!”

In reality, as Serena screamed, the hero’s body pressed against her face began to breathe heavily, starting the survival activity of trying to inhale oxygen.

And Serena also began the reproductive activity.

“You goblins over there! Take the baby!”

“What!? Us?”

The goblins questioned, and Serena calmly thought while giving birth.

– Skill Activated: Mental Victory.

It seemed impossible to think rationally during childbirth, but Serena was a female genius who could easily ignore such trivial common sense.

“Indeed, your hands must be filthy.”

It was obvious how clean the babies living in the cave would be if they were clean at all.

“Hehe! User can accept the main system. Requesting permission to use the store for cleanliness.”

Serena was startled by the sudden female voice coming from below, but soon realized that the owner of the voice was the hero, or rather, the status window.

“Can you speak now, huh♡?”

“Install 48% – Basic vocabulary and actions possible.”

“Well, once this little one is born, the points will come pouring in, so feel free to use them♡”

When Serena gave her consent, the status window waved its hand in the air, clutching a water bottle and soap. After quickly washing its hands, it purchased clean towels and cloth, laying them on the floor.

All of these actions, happening while the status window was poking its nose into Serena’s business, served as evidence of how superior the status window was.

“User, a large Holy Shield is needed. We will spray disinfectant in enclosed spaces…”

“Ugh♡ Just do it!”

“Plan modified. The Holy Shield will only cover the main system, user, and babies. Goblin babies should withstand harsh conditions, so childbirth will not be hindered. Conditions are acceptable for now. User, childbirth approved.”

“Holy Shield!!”

Shooshoooshoo♡♡♡

Squelch! Squelch squelch!

The Holy Shield enveloped the two, followed by intensified streams of amniotic fluid and the shock of childbirth. The pleasure of the baby coming out threatened to collapse Serena’s legs, but she gritted her teeth and successfully delivered the first child.

“Hook♡ One!”

“Pulse normal, breathing regular. There’s still time until the next baby, so focus on setup in the meantime…”

“Woouul♡”

“…I will receive the next baby.”

Deciding to invest in setup during the break after the first baby, the status window, impressed by Serena’s formidable reproductive ability, received the next baby.

And when all four twins were born, the status window decided to concentrate fully on the install process.

– Install 100%.

– Trait Copy: Internal organ that digests anything.

– Trait Copy: Immunity to sexual diseases.

– Skill Copy: Comprehensive basic combat tactics.

– Genetic Copy: Estrus instead of menstruation.

– Genetic Copy Side Effect: Lactation physique.

– Genetic Copy Side Effect: 93% chance that the appearance of the status window will resemble the user’s during physical recovery.

Status window is somewhat useful for Serena. Genes for characteristics, skills, and recovery have been collected.

…By the way, estrus instead of menstruation is a measure to conserve blood.

“And most importantly.”

—Status: Unsealing the curse of sanctity.

The shackles of this body that required an investment of 300 out of 500 points of sanctity have been released. With this, except for the fact that the hero’s body progress rate was 91% complete, it was as good as non-existent.

“Ugh! I’m exhausted!”

“User, detecting symptoms of dehydration. Recommending hydration.”

“Oh, thanks.”

The status window handed Serena a water bottle with a little water left in it, and she gulped it down before purchasing another cold water from the status window and drinking it.

Then, she fed breast milk to the goblin babies one by one and the status window also provided breast milk to the baby born from the hero’s body.

“But what skills does the hero possess?”

“None. Due to ten years of life as a prey during the defeat by the Four Kings Archlich Pol, combat and support skills are presumed to have evaporated. Only characteristics and skills displayed after formatting the skill list using the user’s DP are present.”

“So, as a warrior, he’s a newbie?”

“There may be losses in the body’s recovery process, but stats beyond human expectations are anticipated. Overwhelming HP is present. Recommendation: Proper care in a real lodging rather than a goblin cave is needed for recovery.”

Serena hesitated while cutting the leash with a clean dagger.

Her sexual desire had been somewhat resolved through childbirth. Although she felt a bit disappointed about her vacation in the goblin cave, the hero’s recovery was the top priority.

“Can you walk for now? I’ll heal you.”

Serena’s heal permeated the status window. Thanks to that, the status window’s complexion improved slightly, but there was still a sense of insufficiency to fill that immense HP.

“Thank you. I can move with this. I can walk······ Warning! A large amount of magic is approaching from the east!”

An abrupt warning from the status window. Serena also instinctively realized that something ominous was coming.

Zziiiiing——!!!

The magic passed through the two people. However, the pre-cast holy shield shattered with a strange sound.

“Are you okay!?”

“Analysis. Confirmation of collision between magic infiltrated into space and holy shield. Complete annulment! Also, confirmation of goblins’ mutation!”

The status window pointed at the goblins, and as Serena looked at them, black smoky magic boiled up around all of them, causing them agony.

“Oh, without sanctity.”

“Options for battle or escape. Recommend escape.”

“Can we run?”

“Affirmative. However, prolonged activity is impossible.”

In other words, running is possible for now.

Serena bought a large quantity of preservative and scattered it near the goblin babies before fleeing outside the cave.

“Ugh! It’s growing!!!”

And the genitals of the goblins exposed to magic noticeably enlarged compared to before, leaving behind monsters and demons similar to them in the swept-away area of magic.
