Ch.195Break Time (1)

FWOOOSH-!!!

As Rahitan died, the dungeon began to collapse rapidly. To be precise, the island itself wasn’t disappearing. The gap connecting Earth and this place was shrinking again. This significantly slowed the erosion of the other world.

“Then… I’ll come see you properly on Earth!”

Kirtan said, looking at me.

“Yeah. Come quietly. Quietly.”

I replied to Kirtan.

“We agreed to give Pink Beard a good beating with this weapon. Let’s… work together as a couple.”

Kirtan spoke with a spirited tone, but blushed and smiled sweetly.

She’s really cute… I found myself staring at Kirtan with a dazed expression.

“Hehehe. Falling for me all over again?”

Kirtan chuckled.

“Yeah. I’ve fallen for you again.”

I admitted.

“…Uncomfortable.”

Umi mumbled, puffing her cheeks. But it was a fact that Kirtan had helped with this dungeon conquest. Because of that, everyone seemed reluctant to say anything harsh.

“Then… a goodbye kiss…”

Kirtan trailed off shyly.

Smooch-!

I immediately pulled Kirtan close and kissed her.

“Mmm… haaah…❤”

Kirtan made sensual sounds as she focused on the kiss. Is there some addictive substance on my lips? It almost felt that way.

“See you next time!”

I said after pulling away, stroking Kirtan’s cheek.

“Mmm…”

Kirtan seemed quite disappointed that our lips had parted. What’s there to be disappointed about? There will be more opportunities later.

FWOOOSH-!!

As everything was enveloped in light, we returned to our original world.

“Ah… it’s finally over.”

Umi said with a relieved expression.

“That was fun!”

Tina smiled brightly. She seemed happy to have been able to go wild for once.

“Phew… let’s go home, or to the hideout, and get some sleep. I’m exhausted.”

Taiga said with a big yawn. I couldn’t help but look inside her mouth.

“Taiga… your tongue is really pretty.”

I said without thinking. Wow. It’s hard for even a tongue to be beautiful. Our Taiga is amazing!!

“My tongue is pretty…? What kind of compliment is that? Pfft.”

Taiga spoke as if she couldn’t believe it, but her face turned slightly red. When a woman receives a compliment about her beauty from the man she likes, she can’t help but be happy. Even if it’s about her tongue.

“Shota!! What about my tongue?! How’s my tongue?!”

Umi immediately stuck out her tongue.

“Tell me what you think of my tongue too!! Hmm?”

Tina seemed to feel competitive about it too.

“E-Everyone’s is pretty.”

I said, instinctively backing away.

“Explain in detail!!!! In 5500 characters!!”

Umi demanded in a strict tone.

And so, I had no choice but to describe in detail the scarlet color and soft texture of my girlfriends’ tongues.

“Really… it feels like we’re all becoming idiots.”

Frill said with exasperation.

“Well, this kind of foolishness isn’t so bad.”

Sasits said with a slight smile.

Anyway, we all decided to return to the hideout first. Eri and Mika were probably waiting there. They must have been anxiously waiting for our safe return. I needed to comfort them as their boyfriend.

As soon as we arrived at the hideout, which was like my second home, Eri and Mika welcomed me.

“Shota! You’re safe!”

Eri immediately ran and hugged me.

“Yeah. Yeah. I’m fine.”

I smiled and put my hands around Eri’s hips. Eri was completely uninhibited now. She just walked around the hideout in her underwear without hesitation. That was good for me too. It made it easier to undress her.

“Hehehe.”

Eri really loved having her bottom patted.

“Having a boyfriend involved in extraordinary events isn’t always good.”

Mika also squeezed into my arms.

“I was so worried I couldn’t focus on my novel.”

Mika said, her face slightly flushed.

“Mika. You were worried? I’m happy.”

I patted Mika’s bottom too. Mika seemed to have been influenced by Eri, as she also walked around in just her underwear. Mika’s charm was that she had moles in all the arousing places. She had moles in her cleavage, on her bottom, and under her eyes where her aegyo-sal folded. Being in her underwear, all those moles were visible. Knowing that I was crazy about them, Mika proudly displayed them.

After comforting my girlfriends for a while, I asked the two:

“So… do you now feel that I’ve safely returned?”

I asked with a smile.

“Hmm… not enough yet.”

Eri said as she caressed my hardness.

“I need to feel certain that Shota really exists.”

Eri smiled seductively.

“Yes… wash away my anxiety with your love, Shota.”

Mika whined at me.

“Then everyone against the wall.”

This wouldn’t do. The situation was urgent, so I had no choice but to administer emergency treatment right in the entryway. Giving an injection right now!!!

And honestly… doing it in the entryway was also a wish of mine. Madoka was already sound asleep like a little bird, so this was our chance for adult play.

“Umi, Taiga, and Tina, you’ll be next. I need to calm these two’s anxiety first.”

I asked for understanding from the three behind me.

“Well… alright.”

Umi answered with a generous heart. Indeed… the bigger the tolerance pouch, the better.

After that, caught up in the mood, we immediately had an orgy.

Sasits and Frill… seemed to be spending time alone in a secluded room of the hideout. Geez. Why be shy? It would be better if we all enjoyed together.

Anyway, between conquering dungeons and conquering my girlfriends’ secret places, I had expended considerable physical and mental energy.

I reached a pleasantly tired state perfect for sleeping. The moment when everything became bothersome had finally arrived.

I thought about Kirtan too… but I’d think about that tomorrow. I immediately fell asleep using my girlfriends as blankets.

——–

Some time later, I opened my eyes.

I woke up in the dream dungeon.

Sasits had also arrived in the dream dungeon.

“Sasits!! You really worked hard in this dungeon!”

I praised Sasits.

“Well… you worked hard too, Shota. You somehow managed to pull it off.”

Sasits said with a sigh.

“So, training today too?”

I asked Sasits.

“No. I’m just going to sleep. I just came to say hello to you.”

Sasits said, lifting tired eyes.

“Aw… let’s do it together…”

That’s disappointing.

“No. You’re the strange one, Shota. Aren’t you tired?”

Sasits asked.

“Not really.”

I shrugged. Honestly, even I thought I had an iron constitution.

“You’re amazing.”

Sasits sighed and ran from the dream dungeon. Well, he was the hero of this dungeon, so I decided to be generous. He is our leader after all.

——–

“Arigiri Shota… you’ve done an excellent job.”

As if waiting for the moment I was left alone, Blue Beard opened his mouth to speak.

“You truly… lived up to your reputation as a mad dog.”

Violet also dropped a comment.

Green Beard was… just tending to his garden. This guy never seemed to rest.

“Oh! Right!!! The memories of the strong!! Can they be converted into stats?”

I immediately shouted.

“Of course they can. You seem to have defeated quite a few strong ones. The Master, Bisolda… and Rahitan. These three, I suppose.”

Blue Beard said, opening a status window.

“No. There’s one more. Kirtan should also be eligible for a bonus conversion.”

Blue Beard said.

“Kirtan?”

I never defeated her in battle. We just became something like lovers.

“Hmm. You subdued her in a different sense of battle.”

Blue Beard grinned.

What does that mean?

Anyway, Violet approached me professionally and took my hand.

Grab-!

I immediately interlocked fingers with Violet. Converting the memories of the strong was Violet’s responsibility.

“Just touching hands is enough!! Why are you interlocking fingers in such a disgusting way!!!”

Violet shouted loudly as if getting goosebumps.

“Come on. Why so distant between us?”

“What ‘us’?! There is no ‘us’!!!”

Violet shouted loudly, her face turning red.

However, despite saying that, Violet kindly converted the memories of the strong for me. Such a tsundere.

‘Memory of the Master: Though somewhat bland, the Master was by no means weak. You have gained confidence in your own strength. That confidence becomes power. Strength and Speed increase by 5.’

‘Memory of Bisolda: It’s always better to choose the easy way. You successfully executed a once-in-a-lifetime surprise attack against Bisolda. Speed increases by 5.’

‘Memory of Rahitan: Rahitan heard a prophecy that he would have no equal as long as his feet touched the ground. He was defeated because he relied too much on that prophecy. You’re different. You carved your own destiny without relying on prophecies. The strength of that conviction gives you power. Strength and Speed increase by 10.’

Ooh… quite substantial.

And… Kirtan’s memory was also converted into a stat bonus.

‘Memory of Kirtan: Do heroes have innate leadership? You have a natural talent for charming people with your unique appeal. Your success rate increases when persuading humans or other races.’

An unexpected bonus appeared before my eyes. Does this mean my persuasion will be more effective? I couldn’t tell exactly how much numerically, but it was definitely a good skill to have.

I’ve finally mastered it. The technique that all manga characters possess—the art of smooth-talking.
