123 – Welcome to the Erottrap Dungeon

123 – Welcome to the Erottrap Dungeon

Here is the English translation:

Nikki didn’t believe it.

To think that mere illusions could make one experience something as if it were real.

What a ridiculous notion.

Of course, Yuris seemed to have an inexplicably deep trust in that man called Max.

To Nikki, who had overcome even the Demon King’s illusion trap, illusion magic sounded utterly hollow.

Nevertheless, the reason she accepted Max’s proposal to try experiencing something through illusion magic was:

‘It’s better to try something than just sit around doing nothing anyway.’

That’s what she thought.

She also figured it would be even better if this actually worked.

So she went along with his suggestion, filled out the survey, and stood in the center of the magic circle.

Even when Max said he was about to begin, Nikki remained indifferent.

Just a tiny bit of expectation.

Waiting for the result with a glimmer of hope.

OTNXSU9XcTFURXdtd0tweHpoait4allyS2F6UnBzT2lNMzVsTVMxNFVDam5oVGQ1Qm4xMWpRbGhCcDRJekJvSg

And then he cast the illusion magic.

“…This actually works?”

Nikki gaped at the scene unfolding before her eyes.

She had naturally assumed it would be impossible.

After all, she was the Hero.

But Nikki was clearly seeing Max’s illusion.

It had penetrated even the Hero’s mental fortitude that the Demon King couldn’t breach.

“He’s stronger than the Demon King?”

It was unbelievable.

To think that a mere illusion mage, just a bit more extraordinary than others, could accomplish what even the Demon King couldn’t.

‘Well, illusion magic isn’t dangerous anyway.’

It should be fine to take a look around.

Besides, if that man had any intention of harming her, she could deal with it somehow.

Nikki looked around.

It was an ordinary village.

And somehow, it looked familiar.

‘It’s a small village near the capital.’

A village not far from the capital.

It was a familiar place, and also a village with an inn she frequented.

When her travels ended, she would often stop by to eat grilled pork ribs and drink beer before heading into the capital.

They sold it in the capital too, but the ribs here were incomparably delicious.

There was a taste that came from the raw ingredients.

That’s why she always stopped by here.

‘Even this place is recreated?’

The details were more vivid than she expected.

“Hero.”

She turned her head at the voice calling her.

The owner of the soft, whispering voice was the Saint Eileen, with her strikingly pink hair.

“Eileen?”

“E-Eileen? I-I don’t think we’re close enough for you to call me by name.”

She mumbled in a barely audible voice.

It was that Eileen.

The Eileen that Nikki had first met in the past.

When they had just met, they didn’t get along very well.

Eileen, who was awkward with people and could barely speak due to her vow of silence.

And herself, still unfamiliar with socializing at the time.

It was a truly difficult combination to become friends.

‘It doesn’t feel out of place.’

Even though this was clearly someone she knew, and she was aware this was an illusion, she didn’t feel any sense of dissonance from Eileen’s current appearance.

Impressive skill.

It was astonishing.

Nikki inwardly marveled as she looked Eileen over.

“Um… excuse me…”

“Yes?”

“I-It’s embarrassing when you stare like that…”

“Oh, sorry.”

Fidgeting and twiddling her fingers, she was the spitting image of Saint Eileen.

Nikki asked while looking at Eileen:

“We’ll be traveling together from now on, so wouldn’t it be troublesome if we stay too awkward?”

“I-Is that so?”

At those words, Nikki held out her hand as if she had been waiting for this.

“Let me introduce myself again. I’m Nikki. Feel free to call me Nikki. Let’s get along well from now on.”

“Ah, yes… I-I’m Eileen.”

She grasped Eileen’s hand as she shyly extended it.

‘Even the tactile sensation is real.’

The Saint’s hand was as soft as touching a cushion.

That familiar sensation.

The hand of Eileen that Nikki knew.

Unlike Nikki’s, it was the soft hand of a lady who had never experienced hardship, without a single callus.

Every single element was filled with details that made it hard to believe this was illusion magic.

‘This is truly amazing.’

Now she could somewhat understand why Yuris had recommended this man.

Anticipation slowly began to build in Nikki’s heart.

Perhaps she could enjoy this as that man had confidently claimed.

However, for now, only Eileen was around her.

Just like the scene from when they were both in the early days of being the Hero and Saint.

“Off to work again today.”

“Hurry up. They said no snacks if we’re late again today.”

“Isn’t it cheating to threaten us with food?”

The village men started heading to work, chattering amongst themselves.

“Are you doing laundry too?”

“The weather’s been so hot lately. I’m trying to finish quickly in the morning and head back.”

“Since we’re out, should we cool off in the river?”

“Sounds good.”

Likewise, the village women gathered and headed towards the river.

It was truly a peaceful village scene.

Every single detail felt incredibly realistic.

“N-Nikki… Let’s get going.”

Eileen approached Nikki, who had been taking in the scenery, and spoke.

“Hm? Where to?”

“We need to subjugate the dungeon that appeared near this village. We came here after receiving a request from the villagers, remember?”

Ah, so that’s the setup.

“Oh right, sorry about that.”

Nikki gathered her weapons and headed out of the village.

A small dungeon located outside the village.

It was said to have appeared recently after receiving the Demon King’s blessing.

If it wasn’t subjugated soon, the dungeon might go berserk and engulf the village at any moment.

Hence the request to subjugate the dungeon as quickly as possible.

In truth, this wasn’t the kind of request the Hero’s party would normally take on.

While they had faced many monsters in various places in their quest to defeat the Demon King, such subjugations were usually handled by the empire’s standing army or adventurers.

The knight orders would be dispatched in truly difficult cases.

These days, Nikki would take on various dungeon subjugations since she had nothing else to do, but back when the Demon King was at large, this wouldn’t have been a mission she could take on.

‘The historical accuracy is off on this one.’

Nikki thought she should point this out to Max when she got out.

Wouldn’t it be better to increase the realism?

But for now, enjoying this illusion was the top priority.

Nikki arrived at the dungeon with the illusory Eileen.

From the outside, it looked like an ordinary dungeon.

The kind of dungeon her normal self would have yawned through while subjugating.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

As they entered, a cave-like dungeon structure revealed itself.

– Entering Erotic Trap Dungeon.

– All abilities will be decreased.

– Situations will change rapidly according to your fantasizing ability.

And a strange window popped up.

“What is this?”

Erotic Trap Dungeon?

What’s with this all of a sudden?

Just as she was about to ask Eileen if she saw this too-

-Kyuu!

A pink slime appeared in front of the two.

Seeing the slime’s soft body glistening and wobbling, Nikki unconsciously gulped.

In Nikki’s fantasies up until now, slimes were no different from pleasurable masturbation gels.

It was only natural for her to react.

“It’s a slime. Eileen, I’m going into battle now, so please provide support.”

“…”

Nikki said as she took the lead, gripping her weapon.

However, there was no response.

“Eileen?”

When Nikki turned around, there was no one left in the spot where Eileen should have been.

“What is this…”

Only then did Nikki realize she was still in the illusion.

“Interesting. So you’re using familiar characters and locations to create a sense of reality, and now you’re creating an isolated situation?”

She seemed to understand what kind of situations this illusion mage typically used.

“It won’t be easy with me.”

Although this was a place where her desires manifested, she had no intention of losing easily.

Nikki drew her sword to slash at the slime’s core.

Or rather, she tried to.

“Huh?”

No strength entered her body.

She was clearly holding the familiar sword she used every day, but her body wouldn’t move as she willed.

‘What is this…’

As she was bewildered, at that moment-

-Kyuuu!

Splat!

The slime began spraying acidic liquid.

“Kyaa! Y-You, what are you doing!”

Pink liquid splattered all over her body.

While slimes were certainly weak monsters, their acidic liquid was not to be underestimated.

It could instantly melt the armor of warrior-class adventurers wearing steel plate, often neutralizing adventurers’ equipment.

Depending on the species, some acidic liquids could even immediately burn human skin.

Of course, Nikki’s armor was leather armor enchanted with status effect immunity.

It was at least immune to slime acid.

However.

“M-My clothes…”

The pink liquid sprayed by the slime was melting only her clothes, not her body.

“The magic should have protected…”

And then, Nikki saw a message appear before her eyes.

– Hit by the fluid of Erotic Trap ‘Ecchi Slime’ on upper body.

– Status effect ‘Cannot Equip Armor’ applied to upper body.

“Ecchi Slime? No, more importantly, what is this message…”

Suddenly a strange window popped up and displayed a message.

It was that window from earlier.

The message she saw when entering the dungeon.

While Nikki was flustered, unable to comprehend this unfamiliar message, the pink slime’s – the Ecchi Slime’s – fluid slowly began melting her upper armor.

And on her upper body, where the armor had completely melted away, only sky blue underwear remained.

With only armor on her pants and her upper body completely exposed, she looked no different from a pervert.

Her slender waist was revealed.

A slender physique befitting a hero.

Nikki’s figure, with C-cup breasts and taut abs forming a number 11 shape, was exposed without any covering.

A curvy body with a healthy glow and white skin.

The sky blue underwear stood out starkly against her snow-white skin that had never been shown to others.

“Y-You bastard!”

-Kyuu! Kyuu!

Startled by the sudden change, Nikki swung her sword at the Ecchi Slime that had sprayed her with fluid.

– Insufficient ability to wield the holy sword.

– Equipment will be unequipped.

“Huh?”

The holy sword slipped out of Nikki’s hand and rolled on the ground.

“W-Wait a minute. Why is this happening?”

As she was bewildered, it was only for a moment.

-Kyuu!

The Ecchi Slime’s attacks continued.

Normally, slimes were opponents she could defeat even while yawning.

But now.

“S-Stop!”

Nikki couldn’t counterattack at all against the slime pressuring her.

She had lost her weapon, her upper armor was gone, and her body wouldn’t move as she wanted.

She was helplessly overwhelmed in a way unbefitting of a hero.

And once again, pink fluid was shot at her.

Sizzle!

“Kyaa!”

– Hit by the fluid of Erotic Trap ‘Ecchi Slime’ on lower body.

– Status effect ‘Cannot Equip Armor’ applied to lower body.

– Entering disarmed state.

– Cannot equip armor for a certain period of time.

“W-Why is this happening!”

Not only her pants, but her gloves and shoes all melted away.

The only thing covering Nikki’s body was the sky blue underwear she was wearing.

“Ugh…”

Her firm thighs, well-shaped calves, and leg lines.

Her slender yet curvy figure was so perfect it could be called truly beautiful.

The problem was that she was exposing this appearance in a dungeon of all places.

“Y-You, I won’t let you get away with this!”

Nikki steeled her resolve and charged at the slime, but.

“Kyaa!”

The outcome of the fight was obvious after losing all her weapons and armor.

“L-Let go of this!”

The pink slime bound her arms and legs, restraining her.

A complete defeat.

Nikki was now completely immobilized, bound at her limbs in the middle of the dungeon.

She was utterly unable to resist.

And all that remained for the loser was humiliation.

“D-Don’t.”

The slime’s fluid began creeping up Nikki’s body.

The corners of Nikki’s mouth turned slightly upward as she urgently spoke while watching the slime crawl up her body.
