Chapter Title: The Room You Can't Leave Without Having Sex #02
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Slosh... slosh──
Just an hour ago, the corridors of the Rose Pavilion had been silent and still, but now they were infested with tentacles glowing in every color of the rainbow.
Not only that, the place was crawling with creatures Liliet had meticulously bred to her exact tastes: parasitic plants that wrapped around any nearby living beings and sucked out their bodily fluids, mushroom-type magic beasts that bewitched creatures with spores and impregnated them with their own seeds. The Rose Pavilion was overflowing with them.
"W-Wait! Tentacles on my ankle! Save me, senior!"
"Aaaah! Th-they're wriggling in♡ Somebody help me♡ Haaang♡"
And, as one might expect, the ordinary followers who hadn't prepared for this, along with the slaves they kept under mental domination, were caught up in the sudden transformation of the Rose Pavilion into a dungeon. They were either being subjected to lewd acts or on the verge of it.
"S-Somebody help! I'm a guy! Aaaack!"
"Priest! Please save us! Priest! Uwaaaack!"
"Wh-Why? Why do we have to go through this?! Hic, hrrk!"
Everyone was screaming for help, but no one came to their rescue.
To Liliet, the architect of this chaos, or her agent, the upper-rank dream demon Sirka, ordinary followers were nothing more than playthings anyway. And the slaves they'd brainwashed as offerings? Worthless trash beneath even that.
As despair gripped everyone amid this hellscape straight out of the Northern Church's sermons...
Slash──
Only one man raced through the labyrinthine Rose Pavilion, butchering the creatures Liliet had so carefully prepared at speeds they couldn't even perceive, purifying the corrupted building.
Kieeeek!!
The magic beasts and monsters Liliet had personally transplanted from the garden for this game exploded in an instant. All that remained in the corridor where the man stood were twitching, lifeless fragments and two followers barely saved from hell.
"Kehluk! Kehluk, th-thank you...!"
"If it came to this, I should've listened to Senior Elena... I hate everything now...!!"
They didn't know who this person was, but they knew he was their savior. The two followers bowed their heads, reliving the hell they'd endured. Watching them, Kaiyen let out a sigh laced with irritation.
'Haa, more Six-Pointed Star followers.'
Right after entering to rescue Arthin, Kaiyen realized the state inside the Rose Pavilion was far worse than he'd imagined. The occasional screams echoing around him and the swarms of dozens of monsters lunging at him every ten steps reeked of Liliet's malicious tastes.
However, for those who'd undergone memory regression, their common trait was to treat only memories related to Arthin as their own. And Kaiyen and Arthin had countless memories of conquering hells like this together.
Unable to use spirits, Kaiyen cleaved through every attacking creature with simple magic and swordsmanship. Occasionally, opening doors placed in the corridors revealed rooms rigged with traps for visitors, but he destroyed them all.
But the biggest obstacle to rescuing Arthin wasn't traps or monsters—it was the screams of people begging for help.
As Arthin had often called him a sweet potato, Kaiyen—despite his impassive demeanor—couldn't easily ignore pleas for aid. Of course, if that were all, he'd focus entirely on saving Arthin right now, but...
📜 NEW QUEST 📜 Rescue the Innocent Victims
The Rose Pavilion has begun dungeonizing under Dream Demon Lord Liliet.
Inside the dungeonized Rose Pavilion, people are being attacked by Liliet's monsters,
and among them are innocent victims kidnapped by Liliet's power.
As a hero, you are obligated to save them.
Rescue the suffering innocents and uphold order and justice.
Quest Completion Reward: Stat increases based on number rescued, proficiency gains; all rescued unlocks 『Title: Foe of the Demon King』 3% further.
Victims rescued so far: 6.
Sighing at the status window floating before his eyes, Kaiyen dismissed it. Followers didn't count as rescued victims, no matter how many he saved.
...There were two things Kaiyen had kept hidden from Arthin even through his fifth regression: his true identity, and the existence of his status window.
The status window had appeared simultaneously with him receiving all the Dragon Lord's power from the dying beast, and it was the source of the strength Arthin envied—the power that let him grow stronger without effort. By investing points shown on the status window and clearing quests, Kaiyen could always grow several times faster than others.
Of course, such convenient power came with penalties. He couldn't reveal the status window's existence to others, and the quests overwhelmingly prioritized selflessly helping people.
'From what I heard, Arthin's status window didn't have those penalties...'
Even from past life memories, quests had appeared to gain great power by saving close allies like Claire, Violet, or Jorba when they were in danger.
But strangely, this status window never gave quests about Arthin. Not even a message to rescue the currently endangered Arthin.
Regardless of the status window's guidance, though, Kaiyen's top priority was Arthin. Arthin, trapped in Liliet's trap—a room you couldn't leave without having sex.
'...I need to save Arthin as fast as possible, but I don't know where the path to the basement is. Can't use spirits, so this is inconvenient.'
After knocking out the sniffling followers beside him and tossing them into a room with its traps already destroyed, Kaiyen dashed down the corridor again. His quests had no time limits like Arthin's might, but to him, every minute and second was precious.
'No matter how much Arthin's been swayed by those lewd bitches lately... he wouldn't actually sleep with a unicorn like Unicor. But if Liliet rigged some malicious device...'
Succubus hallucinations were no worry. Arthin had endured such temptations like a champ in past lives and maintained his virginity into this one. But what if not having sex killed someone? Or if Unicor's life was at stake?
Kind, cool, gentle Arthin would surely sacrifice himself. At that thought, jealousy-fueled impatience boiled up in Kaiyen. He thought of Arthin so much, yet after those lewd bitches, now a horse? A horse!
Channeling that frantic urgency into slaughtering monsters, Kaiyen searched for screams that might be Arthin's and breached traps in rooms where he might be held. Before he knew it, he'd reached the first basement floor—less than ten minutes since entering.
Still, Kaiyen hadn't found Arthin.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Had it been five minutes since the aphrodisiac gas began filling the room?
Now the room was thick with it, too dense to blow away with wind. Each breath filled my lungs with the sweet gas, the sensation crystal clear.
"Huff... ugh..."
The overwhelming arousal and lust surging through my body was so intense it felt like I might vomit. But compared to Unicor's problem, it was secondary.
"Haat... haa... A-Arthin... It hurts so much..."
At a glance, it looked like Unicor, drunk on aphrodisiac, desperately craving me. But the cold sweat pouring from her body and her pained expression told me this was different from Shaomei.
Unicorns are beasts of purity; even weak lust signals their fall from grace. For them, such intense arousal and excitement was unbearable agony in itself.
How did I know? When Unicor was forcibly corrupted by demonic energy due to the Demon King's Army, I'd scoured every book to save her, studying unicorns inside out.
"Pull yourself together, Unicor! Grit your teeth and endure...!"
I'd tried pulling antidotes and gas masks from my inventory, but they couldn't block a Demon King's executive's power.
Unicor's pure white dress was soaked through, revealing her ample breasts and smooth abdomen. Her constant thigh-rubbing was likely her forcibly suppressing the unbearable lust.
As I felt helpless—me, who'd bragged about handling anything with alchemy—Unicor grasped my hand with her sweat-drenched one.
"A-Arthin, I have a request for you..."
"A request...? What sudden request...?"
A request out of nowhere. My stunned expression mixed with her pained face, and Unicor looked at me with resolute eyes, forcing out her words.
"Take me... as your woman..."
"Wh-What are you saying?! How can a unicorn say something like that?!"
I yelled in shock, and the aphrodisiac gas from my ragged breaths made me hiccup violently. Seeing that, Unicor pressed my interlaced hand to her breast, her pained face breaking into a faint smile.
"I-I know... I don't know why, but that you urgently need to save this maiden... And that you're holding back so hard your eyes are bloodshot despite your own pain..."
"...."
"I-I'm already a worthless body, discarded once. So I don't want to burden you... Please, embrace me..."
...
Exposing Unicor to more aphrodisiac gas might endanger her life.
So taking her now could be justified as medical treatment. Plus, it'd let us escape the room and thwart the succubus ritual. Two birds with one stone.
📜 NEW QUEST 📜 Save Your Unicorn!
Your unicorn is suffering from Liliet's trap!
The only way to save her is to make her a woman!
Save the unicorn's life and fight the wicked Demon King's executive!
Quest Completion Condition: Sexual intercourse with unicorn Unicor
Quest Completion Reward: Demonic energy unlocked, unicorn Unicor bicornified. Escape from the room
As if toying with my resolve, the perfectly timed quest window floating before me felt exquisitely cruel.
But I hesitated. Was it her words—"Don't abandon me"—that pierced my heart so deeply? Being discarded if you're a burden... It felt like saying I was born an orphan because I was a burden to my parents, disposable.
Unicor wasn't like that. Sure, she was a huge pain, sometimes infuriating, and yeah, I occasionally thought she deserved a good thrashing...
But I'd long known Unicor was precious to me. Yeah, maybe that's why I'd started seeing her as a woman.
Ah, as I recognized her not just as a friend of another species but as an equal being, I'd noticed her charms.
"A... Arthin...?"
With that thought, my heart lightened.
I easily pulled Unicor into my arms, feeling her soft, resilient flesh through her thin dress. My manhood, straining against my uniform pants, rubbed against her thighs slick with love juices.
"Arth... Hmmp... Hnng..."
Her face flushed crimson, Unicor didn't push me away. Instead, she desperately called my name with a seductive gaze I'd never seen before. I met that gaze and pressed my lips to hers, mingling our hot breaths.
Our breaths, fiercer than the love hotel's aphrodisiac gas, aroused us further, and Unicor's pure white hair began to darken bit by bit.
