Volume 1 - CH 27

"I-I'm tired. ......"

"The treasury will be out for a while, okay? I don't want to be kicked out for another three hours or so today, but I'll have to leave it behind in case I get really stuck in the future. You can take a break right here, just like any other adventurer."

Once you learn a luxury, you can't go back.

Hazuki's reaction was a perfect example of this.

Hazuki glanced at Mars and gave him a flirtatious look that clearly showed she was expecting a treasure trove.

It was something that would not have been possible in the original dungeon attack.

"From what I've seen, you're insufferable ......, don't you have a little bit of guilt?"

Inwardly speaking, Lilia, who was the least physically strong, would also like to have the treasure house, but since the situation was what it was, she would not say anything.

The main difference between Hazuki and Lilia was whether she would restrain herself to avoid being disliked by Mars.

"Hmmm, ...... is good for about thirty minutes. There won't be a next time."

"Yes, yes!"

――Oi, Oi, I thought you were tired.

The more Mars thought about it, the more happy and excited Hazuki was.

"Master, don't you have a bit of a soft spot for ...... that pervert?"

"Maybe. But Lilia is also tired, right? It's better to do it this way than to stress yourself out by nagging. It's not just your mind that can't afford it, it's your whole body. And that can be fatal."

It would be awkward if it became a death march. Mars hated that.

His goal was to conquer the dungeon in a cheerful and fun way.

As someone who ultimately aims to live a slow life, He would never show his true humanity in such an extreme situation.

After entering the treasure room, Hazuki rushed to bed and began to sleep without saying a word.

Fatigue itself was a fact of life.

"I think this fast pace is cute. ...... Being able to keep a fast pace also means you are mentally strong."

"――Isn't that simply rude?"

Mars didn't have any words to refute Lilia's harsh words, so he rolled up the sleeping Hazuki's skirt, checked inside, and smiled.

After waking up, the three of them proceeded again.

They reached another lower level.

There was only one type of demon on the floor, a large lion that attacked them in packs.

"Hmmm, ...... It's feels weird. ......"

"What is it? In your head?"

Mars asks with a laugh at the sight of Hazuki puzzling over her head.

"No, it's different!　――The frequency of encounters with demons has changed. It's more than ever, right?"

"Yeah"

"――Xe-Xerius and the others still alive?"

"I shouldn't say anything random. ――It might be suspicious. If you're tired, we're in danger too."

Mars and his team, who were progressing with a lot of leeway in every aspect, and Xerius and his team, who were pushing forward with guts, had different hurdles to overcome even against the same demons.

Although he didn't tell Lilia or Hazuki, this situation was due to a cruel calculation by Mars.

He had planned to go down there with a predecessor from the start.

He didn't say this because he felt he would be blamed if he did.

It was the same when He conquered [Ganymede].

I took the time to check on those who had gone before him, and then followed them.

The purpose was, of course, to reduce the burden on himself.

If he was in perfect condition, he wouldn't feel defeated by a lone demon, but when fatigue builds up and he's faced with a combination of traps and other obstacles, it's a different story. In this regard, if there is someone ahead of you, at least the burden of the demon will be reduced.

Mars had no intention of helping Xerius, but he was proceeding with the intention of taking advantage of the fishermen.

The seventeen-year-old boy, Mars, did not think about such things, but the twenty-nine-year-old modern man had such a thought process.

He could say that this situation, where he was as good as having Hazuki in his hands, was almost like a rice cake on a shelf.

It's not a bad impression of Hazuki, both as a woman and as a warrior.

You can say that her freedom is a little bit of a flaw, but that's what makes her so cute.

"I know it's not the right thing to say after betraying them, but ...... I'm worried."

"――I'm not saying he'll be okay, but he'll be alive. You might want to think of a goodbye line. I'm expecting a dirty one."

――You'll know it when you get there. If you don't encounter it, it means he's dead.

His guess is that he's not alive. Because you can't conquer a dungeon just by being strong.

Regardless of his prediction, Mars thought that it would be better to make fun of it.

There had been demon corpses on every level so far, but they hadn't seen any since they came to this level.

It was quite possible that Xerius and the others were in the belly of a wandering lion.

Mars has no taste for scaring girls, so he doesn't say anything about it.

"Y-you pervert……I don't want see Xerius' uncool dick?"

"That's it! That's the kind of thing I'm hoping for."

A slow life in a harem is not a bad thing.

As long as you can live happily without feeling lonely, that's all that matters.

"It's a dirty word ...... that makes Mars-sama want to mate with me. ...... T-that's a difficult one to say. ......"

"If it's like when you masturbate, it will make me go into heat like crazy."

It was enough just to be able to show him how lewd she was. And with the immorality attached to it, even Mars didn't feel like he could overcome his sexual desires.

He had to be careful not to do it live, but he wasn't sure.

The temptation to do it just once was already in his mind.

"M-Master, I thought we were going to have to put off having sex with that pervert. I can see how that might happen in the future now that you have her as your slave. ......"

Lilia's voice was tinged with worry.

If he have to do this someday, she want him to still be her only master.

Mars swayed.

The temptation to insert himself was quite strong, even when he was caressing Hazuki.

Reason told him that he needed a condom, but his male instincts told him to pour his semen deep into Hazuki.

What drives his sexual desire the most is the fact that he has not been rejected.

If he has told him can impregnate her, he will want to impregnate her.

The body of a seventeen-year-old is not patient enough to reject sexual desire.

"I'm going to be ......patient. But I'm a little worried. There is something strangely sexy about her, or maybe I'm just excited that she can do things that Lilia can't.……"

"――I want you to think of her as a sex tool. ...... Your heart is for me alone. ......?"

"It's okay. The only person I'll spoil is Lilia."

Even though she was older in this world, Hazuki felt younger in many ways, and he didn't feel as safe as he did when Lilia held him.

There was something about spoiling Lilia that was like spoiling his mother.

"――Huh. Something's wrong! It looks like a big hole!"

One of them, Hazuki, starts to fuss.

In the direction she pointed, there was a large hole where about ten people could fit side by side.

"――I knew it was the same type of dungeon as [Ganymede]. I told you, right?, That's the way to the lowest level.……"

"You mean the apex stronghold. ......"

Lilia said with trepidation as she took a step back.

"Oh, so the dungeon's over already!?"

With a pleased and impatient look on her face, Hazuki shouted and closed the distance to Mars.

"No, no, it's more of a test. Honestly speaking, if you prepare a little, I think you can get here with a certain amount of strength. But there are no breakers in this dungeon yet. That's why we're just up ahead."

According to Mars, the dungeon itself is a piece of cake.

If you take enough precautions or gather enough people, you can make it to the bottom level.

The bosses, however, are a different story.

Simple strength is needed.

That's why Mars had a plan to focus all his energy on the bosses.

"Come on, you two, pull yourselves together. We're more likely to die than ever before. If I make a mistake and I die, you need to hurry back the way we came. Understood?"

Lilia and Hazuki both gasped at Mars' words as he walked with his sword drawn from the start.

It was the first time Mars had shown a serious face to a demon.

And as they were about to descend the stairs, a high-pitched metallic sound echoed in their ears.
