Chapter Title: Nice Tits
-------------------------------------
6th floor, Forest area.
Jeong Yoo-shin moved freely among the monsters while swinging his axe.
He didn't know what had gotten into her, but Cian was supporting him from behind.
The hero’s sword mainly blocked the attacks going for his blind spots or took care of the monsters rushing from the rear.
But he had no time to say thank you.
'I'm busy as hell.'
While observing Gibson's fighting style…
And dealing with numerous monsters at the same time, his head was overheating.
If there was one consolation, was it that he had experience fighting the Forest area monsters several times already?
It wasn't an impossible task for him.
Jeong Yoo-shin, while sweeping away the monsters like a storm, kept Gibson's movements in his eyes.
The ranger was using a composite bow, one of those recurve bows.
He didn't know what material the composite bow was made out of, but he was sure that it was no ordinary object.
His arrows were accurate and fast.
When Gibson's arm flicked the string, the arrow would fly at a speed that was invisible to the eye and embed itself precisely in a monster's forehead.
Was that all?
The speed at which he shot his arrows was also ridiculously fast.
Every time Gibson's hand moved like lightning, the monsters would collapse like puppets with their strings cut.
It was at least a speed comparable to the repeating crossbow he handled.
Jeong Yoo-shin's expression hardened.
He was sure that the information Aldein had brought him wasn’t wrong.
Gibson's face was also grim.
'This isn't easy.'
His hands were trembling slightly because of his excessive drinking. His vision also became blurry from time to time.
He should have drunk and enjoyed in moderation, but he hadn't restrained himself, like a colt with its reins off.
'Still, it was good.'
Gibson's eyes became dazed. Gambling and alcohol flickered before his eyes.
Swoooosh!!!
The last arrow embedded itself in a monster's forehead.
Gibson fumbled with his quiver and then let his hand drop.
He had used up all of his arrows while he was lost in thought.
He had brought about 50 arrows, but it was far from enough because the number of monsters present was so large.
But he had no worries.
Gibson's head turned to the side.
Just then, Sebastian, who had finished his chant, spread his hand.
[Chain Lightning]
Crackle!!!
Dozens of lightning bolts ran across the ground, piercing the monsters. The densely packed monsters collapsed like dominoes. They died instantly, without even being able to scream.
Seeing the steam rising, they must have been well-cooked on the inside.
Gibson lowered his bow and watched Cian and Skar's fight. Surprisingly, their coordination was quite good.
Skar's movements especially caught his eye.
'He’s a lively friend.'
The way he swung his heavy axe with gusto was impressive.
Skar moved while coolly splitting the monsters' heads.
It didn't seem like he had learned martial arts properly, but Gibson had a strong feeling that he was making up for it with his innate combat sense.
It meant that his innate talent was terrifying.
Assuming he learned martial arts properly?
Gibson was sure that he would become a terrifying warrior.
What would happen if he fought the guy?
Gibson thought that for a moment and then chuckled.
It would be over if he shot an arrow at his head before he even lifted his axe. He would surely die without knowing what had hit him.
Craaaaack!!!
Gibson's thoughts were over.
The last axe swing split a mushroom man's head.
Thud.
Sticky brain matter and poisonous spores flowed from the head of the fallen mushroom man.
Skar slung his axe over his shoulder and looked back at Cian.
"Thanks!"
Cian shook her head. She decided to bury the fact that her heart had pounded for a moment because of Skar's sudden action.
"It wasn't a big deal. But I'd appreciate it if you gave me a warning first before running off next time."
"Alright!"
Cian looked around and opened her mouth.
"Let's leave immediately. If we delay here, we'll be surrounded by monsters again."
Cian's party quickened their pace.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
A few more days passed after that.
The party went to the next floors, found and destroyed the red orbs, and reached Ash Village on the 10th floor.
Sebastian opened his mouth in front of the 10th-floor transfer stone.
"Hero-nim, how about we stop by the 11th floor for a bit and then return? I heard that it's a Swamp area covered with a red fog."
"No!"
The barbarian shouted.
"Why?"
"We need Bracelets of Unity!"
"What's that?"
"It prevents the party from scattering when we go to the next floor!"
Sebastian's expression turned bewildered.
"I-Is that true?!"
"That's right! If we just go in, we'll all fall in different places!"
"Where do we get the Bracelets of Unity?"
"You can buy them at the Explorer's Headquarters!"
Cian nodded and placed her hand on the transfer stone.
"First, let's return, buy the bracelets, and then come back."
Hwoong.
A red portal and a blue portal were created.
Cian stepped into the return portal and organized her thoughts.
She was planning to go to the Swamp area on their next labyrinth trip, as Sebastian had suggested.
The party members seemed to have adapted to the labyrinth to some extent, and there were no worries since they had taken care of all the red orbs that the Guide's Guild had told them about.
The party members took the blue portal and returned to Labyrinth City.
Cian stood on the magic circle and took a deep breath. The clear air filled her lungs.
"Hoooo. Hup!"
Cian stopped breathing as she looked at Skar standing next to her.
Evening, with the sun setting over the city walls.
The sunset light shone on Skar's face.
He must have taken off his helmet at some point, as she saw his sweat-soaked hair that was plastered to his cheeks.
Whoooosh.
A cold wind blew past Skar's hair.
His sharp jawline and nose were briefly visible to her.
But she couldn't see his eyes.
"Ah."
A disappointed voice escaped from Cian's lips.
At the same time, she felt a sense of liberation.
'Again?!'
Had she gotten an imprint?
The face of the flustered Cian soon turned red.
"Mmm."
Should she say that her chest felt a little heavier now?
The tip of her breast, embarrassing to think about but near the nipple, was tingling.
"Eek?!"
Cian, who felt her nipples slowly rising, let out a flustered moan.
What in the world kind of imprint was this?
Fortunately, she was wearing plate armor, so it wasn't noticeable.
"What is it?!"
Skar immediately noticed and asked her.
"I-I think I got an imprint."
"Is that so?! It's rare to get imprints this often..."
At that moment…
Sebastian staggered and knelt on the floor.
"Kuk."
Luther hurriedly approached Sebastian.
"Sebastian-nim?"
Sebastian's face was pale.
"I-I think I got an imprint too."
Luther quickly turned his head toward Gibson.
"Gibson-nim, the cost for the imprint check..."
"No!"
Sebastian strongly objected.
Gibson's face crumpled, as if he was offended.
"I didn't get any imprint, so I'll be on my way."
Gibson turned his body, left the magic circle, and moved away.
Luther had a troubled expression. He had been at ease, thinking that it wasn’t common to receive imprints so often.
A clear mistake.
The situation had become difficult.
"I have money!"
At that moment, the barbarian stepped forward.
Luther sent the man a suspicious gaze.
What was he thinking?
To suddenly say that he would pay for something that brought him no benefit.
Cian shook her head and refused.
"Skar, thank you. But we'll prepare it ourselves, even if it takes a little more time."
"If you don't want to, then don't! I'm going!"
As the barbarian immediately turned his body around, Luther raised his hand in a hurry.
"W-Wait a moment, please!"
"Why?"
"I'll take the money."
"Alright! I'll go with you!"
"...Let's do that."
Luther bit his lip.
He didn't know what plan the barbarian had, but Sebastian-nim's condition was unusual.
He had to check the imprint right away.
Skar and the hero's party quickened their pace and headed for the temple that served the Wind Spirit God.
They passed the reception desk and entered Luke's room.
Luke looked at Skar with surprised eyes and then turned his head away. He couldn't pay any more attention to the barbarian…
"Q-Quickly check the imprint..."
Because Sebastian's face had changed as if he was about to die.
"Alright. The others, please wait outside for a moment."
Cian and her party members left Sebastian behind and went outside.
A moment later…
Sebastian, with a gaunt complexion, staggered out.
Luther supported the mage.
"Sebastian-nim? Are you alright? What kind of imprint did you get?"
"I-I got a Magic Halving imprint."
"..."
Luther's jaw dropped.
"T-To get such an imprint? Don't you have to remove it?!"
Sebastian shook his head.
"I want to remove the imprint too, but..."
The fact that he couldn't imagine what kind of negative imprint he would get next time frightened the mage.
Sebastian, with a heavy expression, continued.
"Priest-nim, could you give me some time to think?"
"...I understand."
Cian also agreed with Sebastian's opinion.
"Sebastian, there's no need to feel pressured. It's not too late to take your time, think it over, and then decide."
Sebastian bowed his head low, as if he was sorry.
"...I understand."
Cian, who had finished speaking, opened the door and went inside.
But she came out right away not even a few minutes later.
"Hero-nim?"
"Uh... Um. Priest Luke-nim told me to go to the Earth Mother Goddess' temple."
At Cian's words, Luther's eyes widened.
To suddenly go to another temple?
"What in the world do you mean by that?"
Luke opened the door and came out.
"Calm down. It's not for any other reason, but for the hero."
Luther pounded his chest, as if he was frustrated.
"Please tell me in detail!"
"T-That is to say, it could be an imprint that’s embarrassing to reveal as a woman. Not only me, but the hero would also be embarrassed, so it was my suggestion for her to go to a female priest to have the imprint checked."
"..."
Luther's face turned red for a moment.
Putting aside the imprint for now…
"Who’s this female priest?"
"Mion Landisher, the youngest high-ranking priest. She’s excellent not only in talent but also in character. She’ll be more than enough to check the hero's imprint."
"I understand. Then I’ll also accompany the Hero-nim..."
But Luther couldn’t finish his sentence because Sebastian looked so precarious, as if he was about to collapse.
"I'll guide you!"
Skar stepped forward once again.
Luther thought for a long time and then nodded. There was no other way. The Hero-nim's expression was somewhat uncomfortable, and he had to take care of Sebastian.
'At least he won't openly harm her in Labyrinth City.'
There were so many people watching.
Luke Wiseman, one of the members of the Labyrinth Council, was also aware of the current situation.
And…
He didn't think that the Hero-nim would be harmed by this sinister barbarian.
Luther bowed his head.
"I understand. Hero-nim, please don't worry about us and go comfortably."
"Leave it to me! Here's the money!"
Skar took some silver coins from his backpack, placed them in Luther's hand, and walked down the hallway with Cian, leaving the temple.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Skar and Cian walked the evening streets and arrived at the Earth Mother Goddess' temple.
"Skar-nim?"
The priest sitting at the reception desk raised his head and acknowledged him.
"Where’s Priestess Mion-nim?"
"She's in her room. By any chance, did you come to have an imprint checked?"
"I came to check the Hero-nim's imprint!"
"...I see. I understand."
The receptionist disappeared for a moment and then reappeared.
"You can go right in."
Skar and Cian went to Mion's room.
"Skar-nim. And Cian-nim."
A priest in a white robe greeted them with a smile.
Cian's face was stiff with tension.
'She's pretty.'
Shimmering platinum blond hair.
Jade-like skin and slitted eyes that exuded a mysterious feeling.
She was a woman who exuded a gentle charm.
"Shall I check the Hero-nim's imprint?"
Her voice was also gentle and soft.
Cian felt a sense of defeat that she couldn't explain and nodded.
"Y-Yes."
"You can kneel on one knee before me."
Cian took off her helmet and knelt on one knee.
Mion placed her hand on Cian's head and began to chant.
A moment later.
Mion took her hand off the hero’s head and looked at Skar.
"Skar-nim? Could you step outside for a moment?"
"Alright!"
Creeeeak.
Thud.
As Skar left the room, Cian stood up.
"Priestess-nim, what kind of imprint is it?"
Mion opened her mouth with a calm expression.
"The imprint you’ve obtained, Hero-nim, is the 'Breast Milk Production' imprint."
Cian's mouth opened and closed like a goldfish.
"...Pardon?! N-No, Priestess-nim, what in the world is that...?"
"It's just as it says. It's an imprint that produces breast milk from your breasts when you're sexually aroused."
"I-I can't believe it."
Cian replied with a still-flustered face.
Mion placed her hand on her cheek and tilted her head.
"By any chance, when you got the imprint, did you feel a heaviness in your chest, or did you feel a weak stimulation in your nipples?"
Cian's face immediately turned red.
She immediately understood why Priest Luke had sent her here.
How could she discuss such a thing with a man?
"If you still find it hard to believe, please take off your armor."
"P-Priestess-nim?"
"There's no need to be embarrassed. It's just a procedure to check your imprint. You'll feel more at ease if you're sure before going back, right, Hero-nim?"
"...I understand."
Cian, with a red face, took off her plate armor one by one.
Cian, who was now in her gambeson…
"Hero-nim, you have to take it all off."
Cian's head was spinning. Even if they were of the same gender, the situation of having to reveal her breasts in front of a woman she had never met before was still quite embarrassing.
"...Yes."
But Cian couldn’t resist Mion's pressure and took off her gambeson and tunic.
Hwoooat!
Her sweat-soaked sports bra emitted heat and jiggled as if it was about to burst.
"Hnnng."
Mion's expression turned cold for a moment, and a hum escaped her.
Putting aside the suffocating 'female' smell.
Her breasts were annoyingly large.
Mion's expression turned wry.
'Skar-nim would be smitten.'
Cian, who had noticed Mion's gaze, blushed and turned her head away.
Mion raised her finger and poked Cian's stiffly erect nipple.
"Nice tits."
"Eek?!"
As a tingling sensation ran up her spine, a faint moan escaped from Cian's lips.
"By the way, you have to take off your bra too, right, Hero-nim?"
On a night when the sun had set.
At the Earth Mother Goddess' temple.
Mion's lowered voice echoed in the room.
-------------------------------------
T/N - Damn, even the MC’s harem members are starting to help him seduce the hero now? Lucky bastard.
Also, the author is really not subtle, huh? Giving such an imprint to the hero… He really isn’t shy with revealing his fetishes. 😅
Lastly, oof. F for the mage. With his mana halved, the MC will have an easier time in killing him later on when the inevitable happens.
