The Bitnari Hunter Team
The angel of Eden. 112 As if it were a laminate suit, the coating began at her hands and spread, with mucus pouring out through the tube connected to her womb and starting to cover her skin in earnest.
“Oh? Looks like she got angry.”
Her movements are far too gentle for anger. Is there another reason?
Once the tube thickened enough to completely fill her vagina, the latex mucus coated her entire body and hardened. It was a latex suit that clung to her skin like a laminate suit, but it felt slightly warm, soft, and pulsed with visible veins—clearly a living creature rather than an ordinary suit.
The body wrapped in glossy black latex began to move in a certain direction, whether by Las’s will or not.
“Las seems to want to go somewhere. Is it okay to let her?”
From her earlier reaction, she must have noticed something. Perhaps she has a solution to the endless circling problem.
“Then I’ll relax and let her take the lead.”
Releasing the strength she had been holding, Elisha began walking as Las directed. Following the corridor, Las suddenly changed direction and headed straight toward a wall. Whoa, she’s going to slam into it. Just as Elisha wondered whether to stop, they passed straight through the wall and emerged into another corridor.
“Huh? The wall just…”
What? It felt like we passed through the wall. Is it not actually a wall?
She stopped by tensing her body and looked back. Only an ordinary wall stood there. Curious, she approached and placed her hand against it. Her hand sank through without resistance, as if inserting it into a hologram.
“This looks like an illusion. There’s no substance.”
How can a hologram be this precise? No micro-fragmentation or flickering at all. Actually, I’m not even sure it is a hologram.
While Elisha moved her body, Las kept trying to control it. When she couldn’t overpower Elisha, the slime seemed annoyed and extended the mucus up to her neck, covering it with latex.
“Mmph?”
She worried she wouldn’t be able to breathe with latex covering her mouth and nose, but air flowed normally.
“Mmph, mmph.”
Great. Now I can’t even speak? Let’s just follow where Las wants to go. I don’t know how, but she seems able to distinguish illusions.
“Mm-hmm.”
She nodded in reply and relaxed again. Las immediately spun her around and resumed walking. After passing through countless walls this way, a sharp metallic clashing sound reached her ears. Approaching the source carefully to avoid making noise, she found a wide space below her current level where a group of humans fought a massive metal giant that looked like a robot. The humans’ weapon strikes rang out sharply against the giant’s metallic body.
Unable to speak because of the latex covering her mouth, Elisha lay flat on the floor, fixed her gaze on the battle, and entered her mental space. Inside, Elisa sat in a chair with a serious expression, watching the screens. One displayed the battle scene; another showed a camera feed of a dimensional gate.
“If we leave them fighting like this and the gate closes, we’ll be trapped. But going back means freezing to death. We’re stuck either way.”
“We can watch for now and rush back at full speed if something happens to the gate, right?”
“I’ve recorded the entire path we took. If we run seriously, it won’t even take a minute. That’s the best option.”
Elisa gestured to the chair beside her. Elisha sat quietly and watched the screen. Despite the giant robot’s fierce resistance, the humans fighting in coordinated formation were gradually overwhelming it.
“Why are they fighting a robot here?”
“How would I know? More importantly, look at them—their races, clothing styles, and weapons are all different. Especially that woman shooting arrows from the back. See her?”
“Hmm…”
Elisa remotely adjusted the viewpoint to the rear of the group. A woman with hair tied in a bun, wearing tight leather pants and leather armor, came into view. The arrows she fired traced strange trajectories, skillfully avoiding her allies before striking the giant robot’s weak points.
“Guided arrows? How is that movement possible?”
“Not just that. Though it is impressive. Anyway, look at her ears.”
“Ears?”
Examining the woman’s face closely, Elisha recognized the ear shape.
“They’re exactly like the ears on those statues.”
“Yes. Unlike the slender statues, her body is quite voluptuous, but the external features are extremely similar. Given that similarity, this place might be something like a temple of their race.”
“Whoa.”
Her body was indeed voluptuous—especially her chest—but she resembled the people from the statues remarkably. Just as Elisha focused on the notably long ears, the woman, who had been firing arrows nonstop, suddenly looked startled and stared directly at their position. Their eyes met.
“Eek! That scared me.”
“How did she know our location?”
Elisa reflexively operated the keyboard to pull their body farther back. Even though the long-eared woman shouldn’t have been able to see them in the darkness and from such a high position, she had looked straight at them. Whew, that was really startling. If they had been outside, Elisha might have screamed.
After retreating briefly, Elisa carefully maneuvered the body again and peeked downward. She refocused on the long-eared woman, who was now concentrating on the battle as if nothing had happened, and pressed a button to increase the auditory sensor’s sensitivity, like turning up speaker volume.
Through the amplified sound, the group shouted at one another, but the language remained incomprehensible.
“What should we do? Should we return to the dimensional gate?”
“Let’s watch a little longer. We don’t have enough information to decide yet.”
Even excluding the long-eared woman, the group’s composition was unusual. A human man with short black hair fought at the front with a single sword, wearing only blue pants and a hoodie instead of armor, and he was flying through the air. Beside him, a woman with animal ears on her head swung her tail while stabbing with daggers in both hands whenever an opening appeared. The short daggers somehow pierced the metal robot as if stabbing tofu. In the middle, a woman resembling an Eastern Continental human wore nun-like robes and chanted while raising a staff. A soft light emanating from her body seeped into the two people in front, seemingly aiding them. Together with the long-eared archer at the rear, the four-person party battled the giant robot.
“One man and three women in a party. It’s not exactly a harem.”
“The giant robot’s movements are slowing down.”
The robot, covered in cracks, gradually slowed as if reaching its limit. Even its self-repair function could no longer close the widening fissures. Though its movements seemed sluggish, the hoodie-wearing man—who had been dealing the most damage—suddenly stood in front, assumed a stance, shouted loudly, and slashed downward through the air. In the next instant, something shining burst from his sword and flew along the trajectory, cleaving the robot cleanly in two from top to bottom.
“What was that…”
“Maybe that sword is actually a laser weapon or something.”
The man held his sword aloft with one hand as if to say “I did it!” wearing a triumphant, almost childlike expression. While the animal-eared woman clung to him affectionately, the other women examined the bisected robot’s remains.
“Inside that robot-like thing… it’s solid metal? How did it move?”
“More importantly, the dimensional gate hasn’t changed, so the robot probably wasn’t the cause.”
Just as Elisa began operating the keyboard to retreat, an arrow fired upward by the long-eared woman flew over and embedded itself right in front of them. The arrow, clearly shot upward rather than toward them, had abruptly changed direction in midair and struck downward.
“She really noticed us? We might have to fight. Let’s get out of here quickly.”
“Yeah.”
Elisha hurriedly returned her consciousness to her body. She could feel Las desperately trying to move toward the group. So she hadn’t been looking for an exit after all—she had been trying to reach them? Just as Elisha cautiously peeked out to assess the situation, an arrow whizzed past her head and embedded deeply into the ground near her feet. As if warning her not to run, the arrow forced her to jump down.
Thud.
Despite the considerable height, she landed lightly and straightened up. The hoodie-wearing man’s eyes widened dramatically as he shouted something exaggeratedly to the women around him. While he made a fuss, the women glared at her warily. Then the nun-like woman stepped forward slightly and spoke, but the words remained unintelligible.
This is troublesome. We have no way to communicate.
Elisha could only roll her eyes helplessly. After discussing among themselves, the group nodded as if reaching a decision and tossed something toward her while speaking. Reflexively about to knock it away, she caught it instead, considering there was no hostility. It was a simple ring set with a small gemstone. Not understanding why they gave it to her, she alternated glances between the ring in her palm and the group. The long-eared woman mimed putting a ring on her finger. Elisha lifted the ring to eye level with her fingers so Elisa could see it clearly.
Analysis shows nothing unusual or suspicious. It’s just an ordinary ring. Still, they must have a reason for giving it, so let’s try wearing it.
Well, in this situation, she probably should put it on. She slipped the ring onto the ring finger of her left hand, which seemed the right size. She fiddled with the perfectly fitting ring for a moment, waiting for something to happen, but nothing changed. Just as she was turning her hand this way and that, the hoodie-wearing man’s voice rang out.
“Hey! Can you understand me now?”
“Mmph?”
Did you hear that too, miss? How is this possible? I don’t understand.
Strangely enough, though it was clearly a language she had never heard before, she could comprehend the meaning. She tried to reply, but the latex covering her face prevented her mouth from opening. She scratched at the latex clinging to her face with her hand, and the wriggling latex slid down smoothly, stopping at her neck.
“Whoa! She really is a beauty! So hot!”
“Be quiet! You’re embarrassing!”
“The leader’s always in heat, meow!”
“Charlotte, a young lady shouldn’t say such things.”
The man took a smack on the back from the long-eared woman but didn’t hide his lecherous grin. What was truly strange was that, except for the man and the long-eared woman who spoke the same language, everyone else used different languages yet could still communicate.
If this is thanks to the ring, I have one guess.
“What is it?”
It’s probably magic, like in fantasy novels. Similar to how succubi use vital energy to manifest mysterious powers.
“Ah, magic.”
If it was real magic, that made sense. If they could drop meteors, translation magic was certainly possible. The long-eared woman pushed the man aside and stepped forward.
“You. What is your identity? Why are you here?”
“If you ask questions one after another like that, how am I supposed to answer? Should we start with introductions?”
“I’m Charlotte, meow! I’m from the Miaou tribe of the Amijona dimension! I’m the close-combat specialist of the Bitnari Hunter Team and I’m good with daggers in both hands, meow!”
At the smooth-talking man’s words stopping the long-eared woman’s barrage of questions, the animal-eared woman raised her hand and shouted as if making an announcement. Her lively energy was palpable. Her hair was uniquely tri-colored—black at the roots, brown in the middle, white at the tips—and her tail, visible behind her hips, had matching tri-colored fur. The leather armor she wore emphasized her agility.
“My name is Ekaterina. I’m a human from the Zarutus dimension. As a servant of the goddess Erutina in the Bitnari Hunter Team, I serve as the healer. Please take care of me.”
Smiling warmly with a gentle appearance, she possessed an extremely voluptuous figure that was obvious even beneath her neat nun’s habit. Though the habit covered her entire body and even hid her hair, her eyebrows suggested her body hair was a pale golden color.
“Why did it suddenly turn into introduction time? Tch. I’m Ruya. Ruya Agrasil. I’m an elf from the Earth dimension and the vice-leader of the Bitnari Hunter Team. I’m also good with spirits and a bow.”
With her hands on her hips and a displeased expression, the long-eared woman still introduced herself. She was a beauty with a fresh appearance that matched her vibrant light-green hair. Though she didn’t match Ekaterina’s overwhelming voluptuousness, she had a reasonably curvaceous figure wrapped in leather armor.
And then the hoodie-wearing man. While the women introduced themselves, he nodded with a pleased expression. He approached without hesitation, took her hand, and spoke.
“I’m their leader, Kim Gwangnam. I’m a human from the Earth dimension. I lead the Bitnari Hunter Team and specialize in swords and mana.”
After kissing the back of her hand with an audible smack, he winked and smiled. Kim Gwangnam? An unusual name she had never heard before. He continued holding and stroking her hand as if waiting for her introduction. While she hesitated, Elisa spoke.
They show no hostility, so let’s try getting along. We might be able to obtain information or food from them.
But what race should I say I am?
If we have to define it with one word, you’re a succubus with a full-body prosthesis.
Huh? I didn’t say anything out loud. How did you know what I was thinking?
You should be more aware that your thoughts are always being read.
Then from now on, talking through thoughts will be convenient.
She had been worried about others noticing her conversations with Elisa, but this convenient method existed. She decided to introduce herself first. Watching Gwangnam continuously touch her hand and wrist as if enjoying the smooth latex texture, she opened her mouth.
“My name is Elisha Dryvyq. I’m a succubus living in a country called Eden in my dimension. I was helping my sisters manage the country when I went on a journey. What I’m good at is…”
“What did you say?! Succubus!”
The moment she revealed her race, Gwangnam became extremely excited and grabbed her shoulders, shaking her vigorously. Her body shook so hard she felt dizzy.
“The legendary race that feeds on men’s vital energy! A succubus called the spirit of lust! So hot!”
“Shut up!”
Thud! Ruya’s kick buried itself in Gwangnam’s groin as his eyes threatened to roll back from excessive excitement. Struck from behind between his legs, he let out a scream and collapsed.
“Graaaah! It burst! It burst!”
“This guy really! When will he ever fix that habit of losing his mind whenever he sees something erotic?”
Whoa, that really looks painful. By the way, erotic? Are succubi considered erotic?
Just looking at QA and Kyubey, they definitely fit the description of a lustful race.
Can’t argue with that.
QA and Kyubey certainly lived up to the title “spirit of lust.” Still, that man called Gwangnam—would he be okay after being hit like that?
“Is that person all right?”
It really looks like it burst. There’s a bit of blood.
Following Elisa’s words, Elisha focused on the area between his legs that he was clutching. There was indeed a trace of blood. Eek. Did it really burst? A chill ran down her spine at Ruya’s merciless gelding kick.
