episode_0157

Late summer evening.

In a quiet inn, three women and one man were sitting at a table.

Vivian, the head of the Death Night Clan.

Nellia, the Deputy Director of the Explorer Headquarters.

Astaroth, an executive of the Labyrinth City Council.

And Jeong Yushin.

Lynn was still half-awake, rubbing her eyes with her forepaws and acting cute in Jeong Yushin’s hand.

In his other hand, Delia’s “Persona” was wriggling.

The three women’s expressions were all different, but the look in their eyes as they looked at him was similar.

Ice.

No other word came to mind.

How am I supposed to explain this?

I wanted to protect Delia’s dignity. She is a party member who fought bravely without being intimidated even against an overwhelmingly strong enemy.

If I, the leader of the party, don’t protect her, who else will step up?

‘Is there no way?’

While Jeong Yushin was deep in thought.

Nellia, the Deputy Director of the Explorer Headquarters, urged him.

“Barbaroi, stop thinking about lying.”

Nellia’s dark blue eyes shone coldly.

“I have an engraving that distinguishes between lies and truth.”

“It’s true.”

Astaroth stepped in to confirm Nellia’s ability.

Jeong Yushin swept back his hair.

“Haa.”

A sigh came out involuntarily.

No wonder she was so confident, she had such an overpowered engraving. Is she an executive of the Explorer Guild after all?

I understand now.

I’m in a tight spot. It seemed difficult to protect Delia’s honor.

‘Delia, I’m sorry.’

I’ve decided to tell them everything and ask them to keep it a secret.

Just as Jeong Yushin was about to open his mouth.

“Hmm…?”

Vivian put her index finger on her lips and tilted her head. Her long silver hair swayed softly.

“Ah! I remember now. Barbaroi child, could that slime be someone’s ‘Persona’?”

Vivian dropped a bomb in a calm tone.

Astaroth gasped.

Nellia looked at the golden slime with shocked eyes.

Silence followed.

“…”

The atmosphere became even heavier.

It felt like being trapped in an ice cave.

The three women pulled their chairs back a little, moving away from Jeong Yushin.

Nellia straightened her white uniform and straightened her posture.

“D-Did you, did you perhaps have the Persona Excretion Engraving?! B-Barbaroi, did you perhaps extract that ‘Persona’ with your own hands?”

Her posture was straight, but Nellia’s voice was trembling slightly.

Jeong Yushin was flustered and waved his hands back and forth.

“Uh… wait a minute. That’s… just a minute! Please listen to me until the end. I did extract it, but… how did it happen…”

“…”

Vivian’s smile stiffened, and Nellia stared at Jeong Yushin with shocked eyes.

Nellia regained her composure and glared at Jeong Yushin.

She had heard a suspicious report that had been submitted to the guild headquarters and had investigated Ska.

He was an explorer who had been doing well, except for the bizarre behavior of spitting on Astaroth-nim.

If there was anything that bothered her, it was that fewer explorers had returned completely from the dungeon exploration among the parties he had accompanied.

Still, she believed him because the people who had been with him all said he was a good Barbaroi.

At least until just now.

Not anymore.

‘To think he was a vile pervert Barbaroi who extracts women’s Personas.’

She was afraid of the black-haired man in front of her.

Even more so because of his handsome face.

The tears of countless women who would be completely fooled by his dazzling appearance and whose sexual tastes would be ruined flashed through her mind.

She wanted to get out of here right away. It was too scary.

No.

‘But I have to do it.’

Nellia steeled her heart.

She is the Deputy Director of the Explorer Guild Headquarters.

The situation in the labyrinth was unusual, so a proper investigation was needed.

If she glossed over it and an Eldritch Wave-like situation occurred, it would be too late.

‘What should I do?’

While Nellia was deep in thought.

Vivian threw another fastball.

“Barbaroi child, your sexual tastes are atrocious. How dare you trample on women’s dignity like this. Are you going to do this to us too? By using that handsome face of yours?”

“Huuuut!!!”

“Heut!”

Astaroth and Nellia gasped and trembled.

In particular, Astaroth’s gaze was fixed on Delia’s “Persona”.

Just wriggling like a worm.

Helpless state.

A miserable fate in which she had no choice but to rely on the other person’s favor.

A little blood trickled from Astaroth’s nose.

It was such a shocking scene for Astaroth, who had only fantasized about cursing her chest or slapping her butt.

Astaroth realized instinctively.

‘Vile pervert sadist Barbaroi.’

His face was handsome, but his actions were not only trampling on women’s dignity, but also throwing it in the trash.

It would be more humane to enslave women.

For a moment, she thought he was a kind man who cared about others.

How can a person’s “Persona” be extracted in slime form?

‘Did I get caught up in something bad?’

What if I got caught up with a strange man and not only got my butt spanked, but also had my Persona extracted?

Gulp.

Astaroth swallowed hard.

Just thinking about it made the muscles in her thighs tense up and one side of her chest throb with despair.

Astaroth instinctively imagined it.

The future of being violated by this man’s hands.

[Astaroth, why are you lying on my lap and shaking your butt? Were you perhaps expecting something?]

[N-No! You vile Barbaroi! T-This is because you made me do it…]

Splat!!!

Her butt flared up hotly.

Astaroth hurriedly closed her mouth.

[Liar. Your panties are soaked in a circular pattern, aren’t they?]

Ska’s oily voice.

[N-No! I just sweat a lot…]

[It’s sticky, isn’t it? You’re aroused.]

[T-That’s!]

[Astaroth, lift your butt higher. I’m going to extract your Persona from your butt hole today. You don’t like it? Then cry like a sow. Then I might consider it.]

[Keuk…! I understand. I understand, so stop! Don’t rub my butt so gently!]

[Cry. Beg if you want.]

Astaroth, who had been lost in her fantasy, came to her senses.

Saliva was dripping from the corner of her mouth. She raised her hand and quickly wiped it away and glared at Jeong Yushin.

‘D…Dangerous!’

Whether she did or not, Jeong Yushin crossed his arms and closed his eyes.

“…”

If I carelessly open my mouth here without thinking, I’ll be digging my own grave.

But the women took it differently.

Composure.

And confidence.

It was a silent declaration that a ‘bitch’ like you would lick his feet someday.

The dark elf Vivian’s face hardened slightly.

“Barbaroi child, do you perhaps have a sadist engraving?”

“Huuu. No, I don’t.”

Nellia’s eyes widened.

“T-That’s the truth.”

Even without an engraving, he’s this much?

A natural-born sadist.

Jeong Yushin sorted out his thoughts in front of the shocked women.

Now that Delia’s engraving has been revealed, it seemed like he had to give a somewhat plausible explanation before things got difficult.

“This golden slime is my party member’s ‘Persona’. As the Clan Leader said, Delia has a Persona Excretion Engraving. She was injured during the fight with the Sweeper, and I pulled it out when it was half-protruding from her, uh, butt hole. Rather than any other reason, it was temporarily extracted and kept with us for the sake of restoring the original body, according to our party’s priest.”

He said everything without taking a breath.

“Then where is this ‘Persona’s’ body?”

Astaroth asked.

“It’s currently in the Mother Earth Goddess Temple.”

“Wouldn’t it be more efficient to keep them together?”

Jeong Yushin stroked his chin for a moment.

“Barion must have had some other reason. Ah! Barion is our party’s priest. He thought the temple was unsafe because of Diego’s incident, or maybe he was being considerate so that he wouldn’t be seen by the explorers coming and going to the temple, I think.”

The women seemed to be lost in thought.

Jeong Yushin didn’t miss the opportunity and continued.

“Deputy Director-nim, I’ll continue. Our party defeated the Sweeper. Actually, I barely won by receiving the power of an Outer God…”

Jeong Yushin continued to speak. He explained the early stages of the battle in as much detail as possible.

The three women quietly focused on the story, forgetting to breathe.

About 10 minutes passed and Jeong Yushin’s explanation ended.

“…I don’t remember the rest in detail.”

It was true. He really had a vague memory.

It was a gamble, thinking that Nellia’s engraving would grasp the subjective truth rather than the absolute truth.

“That’s the truth.”

Nellia nodded and said.

Astaroth looked surprised and Vivian looked at Jeong Yushin with an interesting look.

Nellia looked at Jeong Yushin with a worried look.

“Isn’t it a bit dangerous? The power of an Outer God…”

“But the flow of magic power isn’t unstable. We’ll have to watch it a little more.”

“…”

The three women talked among themselves, leaving Jeong Yushin out of it.

“The priestess Mion of the Mother Earth Goddess Temple said it was okay.”

“Ah.”

“If it’s Mion, I can trust her.”

As soon as the word Mion came out of Jeong Yushin’s mouth, the three women nodded as if relieved.

Vivian looked at Jeong Yushin.

“Ska, do you perhaps have any ill feelings towards the Death Night Clan?”

“I do.”

“Is that so? But they’re my precious clan members, so it’s hard for me to leave them in prison. If you don’t hold them accountable, I’ll give you compensation.”

Vivian said to Jeong Yushin.

Jeong Yushin stroked his chin.

“There’s nothing I particularly want. But I can’t ignore you when you ask me like this. I’ll forgive them. Just this once.”

The dark elf Vivian smiled and got up from her seat.

“Thank you. I don’t know if it’s worthy of compensation, but feel free to visit the magic tool store in the eastern district anytime. I’ll give you a discount. Astaroth-nim?”

At Vivian’s call, Astaroth nodded.

“I understand. I’ll tell the guards to release the clan members. Have a good trip.”

“Thank you. See you later. Barbaroi child.”

“I won’t see you off.”

As Vivian left the inn, Nellia got up from her seat.

“Barbaroi, I understand that you defeated the Sweeper by receiving the power of an Outer God.”

“Yes.”

“But I have a feeling that you’re hiding other engravings besides the power of the Outer God.”

“…”

“Anyway, thank you for the more accurate explanation of the battle with the Sweeper. Thanks to you, I was able to be sure. Here.”

Nellia took something out of her uniform and placed it on the table.

“This is a token that allows you to meet me.”

“Why are you giving me this?”

“If you’re ever treated unfairly by the Explorer Guild, or if you want to take the lead on a good request, you can call me.”

“Unfair treatment?”

“There are many factions within the Explorer Guild. They often give disadvantages to explorers they don’t like. For ridiculous reasons.”

“…”

“If that happens, call me. Well then.”

Nellia swept back her dark blue hair, turned around, and left the inn.

Her plump butt wiggled above her white uniform pants.

Jeong Yushin stared at Nellia’s back and turned his head.

Astaroth also got up from her seat.

“You must have felt it too, but Nellia is meticulous and thorough. And that’s how fair she is. You’ve got a good connection.”

“Is that so?”

Astaroth turned around coolly.

“Yeah. See you later, Ska.”

Everyone left the inn.

Jeong Yushin rubbed his forehead and let out a deep sigh.

“It’s not easy. Alright, let’s go in, kids.”

He stood up from his seat, taking the golden slime that was wriggling and clinging to him and Lynn, who had already fallen asleep in his shirt pocket.

* * *

Dark night road.

Astaroth was rubbing her belly and walking down the southern street. It felt strangely itchy.

“Astaroth-nim.”

An ogre approached from the darkness and knelt next to Astaroth.

“What?”

“Is it okay to just leave it like that? There are more than one or two clans in the eastern district that are grinding their teeth at that Barbaroi right now.”

“It’s not something I can get involved in. And I shouldn’t.”

“But…”

“You have Aldein, right? He’ll take care of it. I’m more worried about the guys in the eastern district. That Barbaroi is more terrifying than you think.”

“…Was it that much?”

“Yeah.”

Astaroth came into her lodging and undressed, feeling the night breeze.

On the way, Ska’s image was stuck in her head like gum, making it difficult to think about anything else.

It’s definitely a strange sign.

‘N…No way, right?’

Feeling uneasy, Astaroth quickly took off her clothes and looked down at her belly.

“Eck?!”

Astaroth widened her eyes and grabbed her soft belly fat.

Right below her navel.

There was a black heart. It was as small as a bean, but it couldn’t be ignored.

‘It’s not, right?’

Astaroth bit her lip.

‘N…No!’

She is a member of the Labyrinth City Council. She is in a position to protect the city under the orders of Lilith-nim.

She must never become a man’s sow.

Astaroth shook her head.

“A, it’s okay yet! The heart is small too. I can be careful from now on. I can overcome it. This damn masochistic bitch corruption engraving!”

Astaroth gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

But Astaroth’s panties were getting soaked in a circular pattern with sticky bitch secretions.
