I thought we might need to set a fire, but it didn’t seem necessary after all.

We’re actually going to collect honey, so burning everything down would be counterproductive. The honey would all burn up…

Plus, I have my own plans.

“But… isn’t our attire a bit thin?”

“It’s summer.”

“Hmm…”

The two of us were holding hands, chatting about this and that. We were both dressed in thin leather armor. I wondered why they were moving so slowly, but apparently, the knight said they had to wear plate armor, and because they didn’t know how to move in it, they were struggling.

It’s really not working out…

So when I suggested they wear lighter armor, now they’re complaining that it’s too thin and causing a fuss.

Well… it looks much better though.

The leather armor that subtly hugged the body, showing off their figure, was more appealing to the eye than clunky plate armor.

“But… Sirang? Do we really have to go in here?”

As soon as we arrived at the place where Araune was, she stiffened up. Honestly, I felt the same way, so I had nothing to say.

“Uh… I-I mean, yes, sister.”

Honestly, this is a bit scary.

Surrounded by an archway that looked like the entrance to a dungeon, there were vines covered with eerie red flowers that seemed more sinister than ordinary flowers, as if they were going to suck the blood of people.

The original hero party really went into a place like this. If it were me, I would hesitate a bit before going in.

“What should we do about this? Can we really go in?”

Trembling slightly, Nero tried to turn her back. But Dorga grabbed her shoulder and said,

“Nero is a hero. Are you scared of Araune?”

Startled, she turned her head back. It was hard to tell if she understood what he said.

“W-What? There’s no way I would be scared!”

She seemed to be protesting loudly. Is that guy really so innocent, or is Dorga more impressive than I thought?

“So, are you going with me or not? If you’re just going to leave, then let’s forget about this mission and go hunt some boring slimes. That would be better for you, Nero, who’s weak.”

“Hehe… That’s right. Nero is weak, after all. You’ll just have to settle for slimes…”

“I’m not weak! I can easily take down someone like Araune! Just watch!”

With that, she drew her sword and charged forward… Wait a minute!

“Nero! Stop!”

“Oh, what are you doing!”

We tried to stop her, but she had already leaped into the dungeon.

“Uh…? Ah, ahh! Let go… W-what- Aah!”

We heard faint screams and the sound of something falling. We could only stare ahead with wide eyes.

“This is insane…”

As I cautiously stepped inside, I saw Nero’s greatsword.

“Is this how it’s going to start…”

It seemed like Nero had been captured by Araune.

“What do we do now?”

As she continued to step inside, she asked me. But even if I were me, could I come up with a clear answer?

“I don’t know. Honestly, what can we expect from someone who charges in recklessly and gets captured?”

“But… she’s our party member.”

It’s still a teammate, I guess. Honestly, Dorga is much stronger than Nero, so why is he hanging out with someone like that?

By now, it seems like they’ve found a weakness. For example, getting caught secretly watching a lesbian scene?

Introducing a penis into a yuri relationship doesn’t seem all that bad, to be honest.

Surprisingly, the journey was quite smooth. I easily took care of the tentacles that kept attacking and trying to harm Doruga without leaving a trace.

“By the way… why are these guys only targeting you?”

“I have no idea…”

For some reason, these vines seem to be constantly targeting Doruga. If I make a mistake, it seems like the strongest one in the party might end up in trouble…

With a swift strike of my staff, a blue flame instantly engulfs the vines. The burning vines turn into ashes and disappear in an instant.

“By the way, Sir Silang, you’re amazing! To make a mediocre priest like me so strong… ”

This guy seems to be seriously mistaken.

In reality, he was already strong, but without a god, he couldn’t do anything. He only awakened after meeting me. Yet, Doruga seems to think that I am blessing him greatly.

“Ah… y-yes.”

In the end, I could only shrug my shoulders pretending not to know. If he says he was strong from the beginning, he might just leave me, so I have to hide it somehow.

“By the way… even though you’re called Arlaune, you’re too weak. You just used a bit of Sir Silang’s power, and it burned so fiercely.”

No, you’re the one who’s too strong…

A priest stronger than the god he worships, what should I call him, really…

“This… burning so fiercely is strangely cool.”

Watching Doruga spreading fire around with a passion for the blue flames, I couldn’t help but feel a chill down my spine.

My status as a disaster that brings prosperity was probably to blame.

Now, I’m scaring the vines trying to run away by setting them on fire.

As the flames crackled and sparks flew, Doruga, lost in the sight of the burning flames, seemed to be on the verge of giving me goosebumps.

“Stop it. If you get lost in the fire, you might end up burning with it.”

I said it just in case, but how did he understand it?

“Is that so… Flames are a disaster that burns without discrimination, so you shouldn’t just watch. You have to control the power in your hands.”

“No… hah, forget it.”

I should just hit him…

I wonder how far we’ve walked when a strange scent wafted towards us.

Unconsciously, I raised my head and took a deep breath at the scent coming from ahead. It was a warm and sweet scent for some reason.

“Don’t you smell something strange?”

“It smells very sweet. It’s like… the smell of honey.”

Sniffing the air, Doruga grinned. As we walked forward slowly, his staff in hand began to sway slightly.

Finally, we arrived at the end of the dungeon. It was a huge room covered in all sorts of vines.

In the middle of the room was a giant flower bud. It definitely looked like the boss of this dungeon…

“Get your staff ready.”

“Yes!”

‘Activate the Wood Stance!’

Muttering a spell, I placed my hand on my chest, and cherry blossom branches began to grow on my head. Today, the cherry blossoms seemed to be blooming more beautifully, falling gently from above.

As we approached the flower bud, it bloomed wide open.

And the first thing that caught my eye from inside was…

“…Sorry.”

It was Nell.

Covered in sticky honey all over her body, the silver-haired woman looked down, sighing deeply. She glanced at us in her underwear.

Saji was tangled up in the ivy, a complete mess. Seriously… why did I rush in like that only to end up in this state? But I have to admit, it was worth seeing.

My whole body was covered in sticky honey, so it was all sticky and gooey.

“Neru-nim? What in the world is this…”

As Dorga tried to approach, the ivy suddenly blocked his path. And then, from within the flower bud, someone slowly raised their head.

“You all! Stay right there! If anyone even twitches a finger, I’ll tear you apart!”

With a loud voice, a naked woman stepped forward. Her red flower-like hair extended all the way to the honey inside the flower bud.

Her brown skin was quite attractive. Honestly, that kind of tan skin is quite sexy.

With her pointed ears, she looked like a dark elf, but when she flicked her finger, the ivy moved smoothly, indicating she was not just an elf.

“I’ve never heard that Araune is such a dangerous race.”

In the original work, they didn’t kill people, they just captured them and tried to have group sex. If you fall for it, you either end up pregnant or… lose in a fight, get drunk on weak honey, and end up having sex.

She’s a woman who only has sex except for winning. But now she’s going crazy saying she’ll kill…

“Normally, that would be true! But that blonde kid over there looks cute! But that woman is setting our house on fire! If we leave her like this, I’ll burn to death!”

“Ah…”

Dorga flinched as if stung. Well, she did set quite a few fires…

“Okay, okay, I’ll let go of Neru.”

“Am I crazy? If I do that, will you set me on fire too? Do you think I’ll just stand by and watch that happen?”

Growling loudly, she leaned forward and grabbed Neru’s chin, saying, “Drop everything you’re wearing and all your weapons. Right now!”

Oh, this is a sex scene, a sex scene!
