The tablet that Munuh excavated(?) was truly impressive. It was as light as a credit card, with no fingerprint marks and easily adjustable in size, from credit card size to phone size to tablet size. How does the battery charge? Is it because it’s a fantasy world, so it can be powered by mana or something like that?

But the most remarkable thing was that it never broke. Even when I tried to fold it with force, it only slightly bent without breaking. It didn’t even scratch when stabbed with a knife.

It’s a weapon, so there’s no way to find its weakness. Ugh.

The screen still displayed the black silhouette of a woman, along with Hazel’s name and details.

Isn’t it similar to the status bar displayed prominently in the kitchen? Well, it is, but this one is a bit more dangerous.

The status bars displayed prominently in the restaurant are just for viewing, right? They just quantify my status and show it. Oh, of course, this is also quite quantifying. Yeah.

Seeing the numbers makes it feel so quantifying. Hmph…

No! This is not the time for such pointless talk.

Anyway, the important difference is that.

This tablet has a slider that allows you to adjust the displayed numbers!

Clitoris Sensitivity [30/100]

|―♥―――|

You can move that heart. And you can only increase the numbers, not decrease them! I tried increasing it as an experiment, and just rubbing my thighs made me feel incredibly good!

The only fortunate thing about this misfortune is that, except for a few numbers, all the sliders are locked.

So, we need to find a way to unlock and remove them. Was this the relic that Angel Perser mentioned? It’s unbelievable, really. I’ll have to investigate when I meet the angel.

“What is that, Hazel? And why is Munuh tied to a pillar?”

Sitting on the bed and manipulating the tablet, the door to the cabin opened.

“Are you here, Gracia? Don’t go near him. He’s a really bad guy.”

“Ugh…”

I raised my head and looked at Gracia.

Why does her skin look smoother than it did during the day? Even her clothes had changed from the white naval uniform pants to an H-line skirt.

“Oh, this… Karik altered the pants into a skirt for me. I changed into this because it’s hot. Hm.”

Gracia blurted out unsolicited information. Oh, so she didn’t get new clothes, she completely transformed the existing pants into a skirt.

“Munuh… Let’s say that’s true. So, what is that item? I feel a very sacred energy from it.”

“Sacred energy? Oh, then did you feel a similar energy from the restaurant wall?”

“Is that where Hazel’s… that information is? No, it wasn’t. That was a new sensation for me. But that item feels powerful.”

Unexpected information. So, the culprit who exposed my status bar to the public wasn’t a goddess? Was this tablet created by a goddess? It’s confusing.

“Um, would you like to touch this?”

I handed the tablet to Gracia and leaned over to look at the screen.

“Wow… this is an incredible item. Is this a trust?”

The loading animation indicating that the tablet was reading information was unfolding on the screen. Instead of an hourglass or a spinning circle, it was a loading animation where blue light entered the engraved characters on the stone tablet.

With such a strange sensation, it’s clear that this item is not from modern Earth…

But why does it refresh the screen on its own just because the user holding it has changed? Is it fingerprint recognition?

After the loading finished, a new screen appeared on the tablet. It’s a bit different from mine.

Status Window (Human Race, Female)

Age: 24 years, 2 months, 29 days

Height: 180.2cm

Last Sexual Experience: 52 minutes, 30 seconds ago

…

…

Grecia’s name was not displayed, and only generic information was shown. The biggest difference was the absence of a slider to adjust the stats.

“What the heck is this?”

Oh, what a cute scream it was, Captain.

Grecia picked up the tablet she had thrown in surprise and resized it to credit card size.

“I found it in the mine. Perser told me it could be useful, so I came to find it today. I didn’t know it was such a thing.”

With Grecia, the captain who already knew that an angel was trapped nearby, a simple explanation could suffice.

“Where can we use this… Maybe to check enemy information and threaten them?”

“Unless the person has a high social status and is a huge pervert, it might not be effective. Like a queen who walks around naked every night?”

“Hahaha! Social status and perversion… I see. It certainly has limited uses.”

“Uh? Anyway, this is a dangerous item, so we should either destroy it or keep it well hidden.”

I pondered while twirling the card-sized tablet. It’s unnecessarily sturdy. Grecia, who was watching me silently, said as if it didn’t matter.

“If it shrinks like this, it should be fine to carry it around all the time, right?”

“But men touch us… inappropriately every day. The most dangerous thing is what we carry on our bodies.”

In fact, on the way back from the mine with this card, I was teased by the ore exploration team in various ways. Especially about how it’s good for fatigue recovery and… bodily fluids…

“Then, put it in Muner’s mouth…”

“Absolutely not. Listen, that guy is a huge pervert!”

Grecia finally suggested a solution that should never be put in the mouth. Unable to bear it any longer, I revealed Muner’s misdeeds to Grecia in detail.

***

“How could this happen? I treated Muner so well! I even gave him a name!”

I explained the despicable incident where Muner crossed the line while helping with my affection for a whopping 10 minutes. Phew, it feels a bit relieving to talk to someone else about it.

But Grecia wasn’t a good listener. Her reaction was lacking. She seems hesitant to say something even now, right?

“Well… but, Hazel? Wasn’t it Hazel who first asked for help?”

“Uh? Well, that’s true, but…”

“Muner might have been eager to help but lost control. Women tend to get excited and… act a bit strange when they’re excited, right? They might shout that it’s weird but actually really enjoy it.”

“Huh?”

“So, um. Maybe Muner thought to continue because Hazel seemed to be enjoying it from his perspective.”

“No, Captain Grecia. Are you blaming me here?”

Betrayal! This is betrayal! She’s taking Muner’s side, even though she says I’m the benefactor or whatever! Sure, I may have gone overboard and made excessive demands of Muner, but I clearly signaled to stop!

“No, no, no, I’m not blaming Hazel. It could lead to misunderstandings. I’ve often mediated fights among the crew, and most of them stemmed from misunderstandings. Do you know what a ‘safe word’ is?”

Grecia suddenly adopted a more formal tone. Safe word? Isn’t that a baseball term? I don’t watch baseball, but I know about strikes! Outs! I know about safe, too.

“When a man and a woman engage in intense play and it becomes really dangerous, the word used to signal that they should stop means just that. No matter how much you say ‘no’ or ‘stop’ or ‘I feel like I’m going crazy,’ they won’t stop, but a predetermined, absurd word… For example, if you shout ‘grilled fish!’ they will immediately stop.”

“Oh…”

It wasn’t a baseball term.

“So, what’s the deal? There was no malice intended, right?”

“Kkuu! Kkukku!”

The pillar-bound Muneo let out a pitiful cry at this moment. It seemed like there was malice behind targeting my buttocks and tormenting my clitoris with some strange magic…

“Did you feel uncomfortable when Muneo told you not to do something?”

“Well, of course, it was creepy… I mean, of course, it felt good. But still, it felt like crossing a line, you know, a sense of humiliation!”

“You felt good?”

“…Yes.”

“So, Muneo was trying to make Hazel feel good but made a mistake. Will you forgive Muneo? Talk it out with each other.”

“…Yes.”

“Kkuu! Kkukku!”

Why do I feel like I’m a student?

Captain Grecia, unexpectedly, exuded an old-fashioned vibe in an unexpected way. To properly fulfill the role of a captain, I suppose you have to resolve various conflicts well. This must be Grecia’s way.

I used to think of her as a kind but somewhat pathetic older sister who just whined and looked for men, but for a brief moment, I could sense the true nature of Grecia.

Come to think of it, Grecia is also a captain, beautiful, and from a prestigious family. She’s not someone who should be spending time on a remote island.

I need to quickly find the goddess and the angel to escape this island.

I released Muneo once again while checking our plan.

And our safe word was decided to be ‘baldy.’
