Chapter 66

“Neigh…”

Limbo had reasons to be unhappy with the lodging that was even more sloppy than Sylvia’s house, but whether it could read the room, it sat on the floor silently. Feeling saddened by the fact that it could somehow read the room, Sylvia gently stroked its head.

“What’s wrong, Limbo? We were able to come to the village quickly thanks to you.”

“Neigh…”

“What’s wrong with it? We didn’t get caught and made it safely to the village, didn’t we? I guess it’s because you said we should have been in the oasis. Who told you to pick the fruit and eat it?”

Limbo quietly lowered its head at Sevis’ words, sullen. Sevis stared at it for a moment, then opened his mouth again.

“It’s alright. In any case, we came safely to the village. But you’ve learned that picking and eating anything can be a big problem, right? Please be careful and eat your food from now on!”

Nod.

Limbo quietly nodded at his words, and Sevis snorted. Then he went to Limbo’s side and sat down. He seemed to feel sorry for Limbo being dispirited after calling him ‘horse bastard’.

Sylvia smiled slightly at the two beasts’ warm-hearted appearance and leaned powerlessly against the wall.

“But it is a big problem, Sevis. We were indeed disguised similarly, but the monsters recognized us as their comrades. I have no idea how things will turn out.”

“Well, in the case of the coastal cave and mudflat, it was a lower-class dungeon without high-level monsters, so it was easy to raid, but in the case of a dungeon with intelligent high-level monsters… Well, I don’t know because I’ve never raided one either. I have no choice… but to trust the oracle. Miss Sylvia is the hero after all.”

Sylvia smiled awkwardly at his words. Hero… That word was even worse. The truth is, she was just a player possessed by a game in order not to go to Slothful Hell. And she was too perverted to be a hero. She did die twice while drooling over a man. If it hadn’t been for the save system, she would have gone to Slothful Hell in just one day of being possessed.

‘The good news is that the more you drool over a man in this game, the more likely you are to see a good ending.’

Sylvia was smiling, thinking that she would do her best for that, when she heard Noel’s voice.

“An oracle. Speaking of the oracle.”

Noel and Sevis talked about the oracle without noticing Sylvia had a perverted smile. When Noel heard about the oracle Sevis had received, he was finally able to fully understand why the two lived together, but he couldn’t help but feel dissatisfied in the depths of his heart.

‘I also received the oracle that Sylvia would become a hero. And… We have a deep relationship. But why is she living with Sevis alone? Isn’t this absurd?’

Consumed by jealousy and thinking childish thoughts, Noel’s eyes flashed at the idea that suddenly came to him.

‘No, seeing that she lives with Sevis, can’t she live with me too, since I also received an oracle? Whenever there is a dungeon raid like this, I can take a leave of absence from the temple and help her.’

Noel smiled brightly at his delightful imagination. Noel’s dark expression suddenly brightened like never before, and the dark room brightened in an instant. Sylvia raised her hand to cover her eyes in the intense light that suddenly struck her eyeballs.

“Ugh…”

‘Wow, what is this light? It’s because Mr. Noel smiled so brightly…! I can’t see because my eyes are blinded.’

Despite being filthy due to not being able to wash himself properly, Noel’s broad smile had an aura as if 1,000 fluorescent lamps were turned on. Maybe it wasn’t just Sylvia who felt like this; Sevis and Limbo also covered their eyes and screamed.

“Neigh!”

“Wait, it’s too bright. Please restrain yourself.”

“Ah, I’m sorry. I was excited because I suddenly had a good idea…”

As Noel darkened his expression slightly, the light that was dazzling the sloppy room disappeared. Noel, who was excited to tell Sylvia to live together right away, opened his mouth and shut it again.

‘This is not an important thing to say in a situation like this. I’ll talk to her later.’

As the corners of Noel’s mouth kept going up, he covered his mouth and gave a small smile. It would be bothersome if the room brightened up and the group screamed again, so he had to refrain.

Sylvia shook her head a little as she looked at Noel, who kept smiling for no reason.

‘He grew up as the son of a count, was educated as a priest since childhood, and didn’t lack anything while growing up, so he must have been shocked. He’s not so sure about spending the night in this filthy monster lodging, is he? I’m worried…’

Unaware of her thoughts, Noel kept smiling quietly like a fool, and Sevis and Limbo shook their heads and clicked their tongues at him. When Limbo attempted to whisper something to Sevis, he brushed off his ear and expressed disgust.

“Hey, don’t try to talk to me. I don’t want to understand.”

‘Why is he like that again? How can Limbo talk… The orcs’ lodging is making a lot of people go crazy…’

Noel continued to smile and lean against the wall, Limbo talking to Sevis, and Sevis was shaking his ears and turning away from Limbo. It was literally a chaotic party.

Sylvia looked at them blankly and shook her head. They spent the night in the orc lodging, each having their own thoughts.

***

The next day, when they woke up early due to being anxious, they were disgusted to see the strange food in the lodging, so they took beef jerky and bread out of the bag to soothe their hunger. They didn’t know when it was dark, but when they came out of the lodging, they saw that the village inside the dungeon had few residents.

“Miss Sylvia, I can’t take it anymore. Let’s find some clean water.”

“Yeah… I’m dying too.”

They were very uncomfortable because they had been killing monsters while sweating, in a desert where the sand came inside their clothes at the slightest movement, but could not wash themselves properly because only rust came out of the bathroom of the orcs’ lodging. The group couldn’t take it anymore and searched for a place to wash up. Fortunately, they didn’t have to go far to find a small oasis right next to the lodging.

After washing up in the oasis while being worried about the monsters catching them, they applied the green cream again and wrapped the turbans around their heads. Fortunately, right after finishing camouflaging themselves with the green cream, the captain desert fox came to the lodging.

“Have you woken up? It’s a busy time, so let’s move quickly.”

“Yes, yes…”

Following him, the group was able to enter the temple safely without causing any bloodshed.

‘He has certainly gone crazy due to the contaminated energy. We were wearing such a lax disguise and he didn’t suspect anything even in broad daylight.’

When they entered the temple, several desert foxes were wearing priestly clothes. Since everyone looked beyond level 40, Sylvia couldn’t help but give up the idea of taking out the hammer and smashing their heads right away.

“Aaaaah—!”

When they followed him to the auditorium, one group was practicing vocalization, and others were in a corner singing while doing a dance routine.

Sylvia’s group, who were puzzled as to what was going on, joined them unexpectedly. From what they could observe, they were preparing a choir.

‘What kind of event are they having to prepare for a choir?’

“Everyone, are you all ready for the conversion ceremony?”

Sylvia turned her head and looked at the owner of the voice. He was an impolite desert fox with highlights on his bangs, or rather, his front fur, that could be seen under the turban.

‘Even though he is the most good-looking of the desert foxes, he is nothing but a desert fox…’

Sylvia shook her head hard. He was handsome, but Sylvia was not into furries.

Then, the Virginity Radar turned on arbitrarily, perhaps because the men (?) were in a crowd. With a beep, a message appeared from the Virginity Radar.

———————————————

[He is not a virgin, so he can’t become a target character.]

———————————————

Along with that, the virginity of all the monsters in the auditorium was scanned in an instant. Most of the monsters were not virgins. Seeing the Virginity Radar scanning the interior of the auditorium in an instant, Sylvia rubbed her arms with goosebumps.

‘Are monsters also included in the target characters? Anyway, please take out the desert foxes. This… this is not an XXX-rated s*xual romance!’

Although she did think he was handsome, she was just admiring him in a similar way as when looking at Jindo dogs and saying they’re good-looking. She didn’t want to be on the boundaries of targeting a handsome desert fox who could walk upright, no matter how perverted she was.

Fortunately, Sylvia was able to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw the message saying he was not a virgin so he couldn’t be a target.

‘The way the Virginity Radar reacted is already horrible in itself, but thank God he is not a target character.’

While Sylvia was quietly nodding, the captain desert fox, who had brought them, greeted the desert fox with highlights.

“Reverend, you’re here. The preparations are going well.”

“What are these humans?”

The captain tilted his head as the fox who was addressed as a reverend frowned, pointing precisely at Sylvia’s group.

“Humans? They’re Orcs.”

“You idiot, they’re humans!”

“What? Aargh!”

“Dear heavens!”

The desert foxes were startled by the high priest fox’s words, and they all scattered away from Sylvia’s group while picking up their ears.

‘Only now did one of them recognize us. So, there was a sane one among them…’

The high priest fox looked around at the group, then pointed to Sylvia with his hand and opened his eyes sharply.

“You are the leader.”

“You are quick-witted.”

Sylvia took out the boomerang hammer from her inventory. It was an opportunity to test out her new weapon.

‘Should I throw it like a boomerang? The first time I used it, I didn’t know what I should do… Ah, whatever!’

“G-Go… For love and justice! For peace in this world! Boomerang Hammer!”
