Opening the Dungeon (4)
"Jackpot."
Five stars. I couldn't believe it. Her level was lower than even our Lime's, but her growth potential was a staggering 100, higher than my own. Since a five-star unit could grow up to level 100, I assumed that must be the level cap.
"St-stop touching me...!"
"I don't want to."
The sensation—soft yet firm—felt exactly like touching Eila's nipples. I gently tickled Ryun's ear while carefully inspecting her stats.
Unique. Only one. Did that mean Ryun was a singular entity that couldn't be judged by standard grades? Because she was a five-star?
'I guess I don't need to bother with rerolling.'
As expected, my gacha luck was never something to rely on. But instead, hadn't this lovely elf stupidly walked right into my trap?
'But no matter how I think about it, she feels like a landmine.'
High Elf. Five stars. Unique. With specs like these, shouldn't she be surrounded by guards and protected by an entire village instead of wandering around alone?
"Hey, what happened to your companions?"
"I-I won't tell you! Do you think I'd sell out my sisters?!"
Sisters. It seemed the elves were an all-female race. My mouth watered at the thought, but I focused on the prey right in front of me.
"Oh, right, right. You don't have to sell them just yet."
What mattered right now was that Ryun was part of a "communal" elf society. A search party would likely come looking for her, and dealing with that potential threat was my top priority.
"Just wait here... no, wait."
If I just left her alone, she might touch the sleeping Eila and cause an accident. I hoisted Ryun over my shoulder and grabbed the wooden stakes I’d fashioned on the floor.
"I hope this buys me some time. Right? Wouldn't it be great if they just walked right into my traps?"
"Y-you monster! You can't just—"
Smack!
I slapped Ryun's butt. Since her skirt and underwear were completely soaked, her lower body was essentially bare.
"......!!"
Ryun's toes curled and trembled. The impact of my palm against her skin seemed to be quite a shock; she bit her lip, trying to endure the pain.
'It's going to hurt more later.'
I patted her butt to comfort her. "If you make a noise one more time, it won't end with just that."
"......."
Ryun shut her mouth. While she was quiet, I started installing crude traps one by one, starting from the entrance.
"......."
Until I finished setting all the traps, Ryun memorized every single one, but she didn't say a word. I slapped her butt again.
Smack!
"Hng...! Why do you keep hitting me...!"
"Because you're a good girl."
To memorize the locations of my traps without saying a word... wasn't that just proof she was planning to escape the moment she got a chance?
"Thinking about how to run away, huh."
I’m sorry, but I have no intention of letting go of an opportunity once I’ve caught it. The time was up, and while I was digging traps, a fairly decent wooden bed had taken up a large space in the common area. It was wide enough for me to lie down with a person on either side.
"H-how...?"
"It's my privilege."
"Y-you, are you perhaps a demon...?!"
Ryun's expression turned to despair in an instant. I laid her down on the bed and grabbed her face.
"Think whatever you want. Heh heh."
It was fortunate that elves looked just like humans, save for their pointed ears. I placed Ryun flat on the hard wooden platform.
"St-stop! If you use me as a sacrifice, the Goddess will not forgive you!"
"Sacrifice? What are you talking about?"
Sacrifice a five-star unit that just rolled into my lap? That's insane. Ryun moved her legs, which weren't bound by vines, like she was swimming to resist, but the movement wasn't very effective.
"You're too embarrassed to move much because you're afraid of being seen, aren't you?"
"Ugh...!"
Ryun bit her lip in anger. I felt a surge of heat at the sight of her teary eyes looking up at me. My own "part" was getting excited.
"Wh-what is...!"
Ryun's eyes filled with confusion. It was as if she had never seen a male organ before; her gaze couldn't find a place to rest.
"Ah, don't worry about this. You'll feel it well enough anyway. Lime!"
I called for Lime. She had been busy devouring the remains of the slimes that had burst inside the dungeon, but she still had the slime dragon's head left.
"Bring me some of that slime."
Lime wiggled over and spat out the slime dragon's mucus in front of me. It was like the corpse of something already dead, but I knew well how the remains of dead slimes were used in Forneus's dungeon.
"Do you know what this is?"
"Wh-what is it?!"
"Ah, this is what they call love gel."
Splat!
I smeared the slime dragon's body fluid all over my hands. The viscosity had decreased, making it feel like soothing gel, and it smelled like ripe grapes.
Lick.
I licked the fluid dripping from my palm. The sour grape taste stimulated my tongue, and Ryun looked up at me with a look of disgust.
"Y-you don't mean to use that on my body...!"
"Oh, you're smart, aren't you?"
Elves are clever. I knelt between Ryun's legs and gave an order.
"Close your legs."
"Do you think I'd listen to that?!"
"If you listen well, I'll let you live."
"......Really?"
Hope began to seep into Ryun's trembling voice. She seemed suspicious because I was offering to spare her life when she thought she was doomed.
"A-are you really going to let me live?"
"Yeah."
I wanted to ask her how I could possibly kill her. As long as Eila was still unconscious, Ryun had to act as one of our dungeon's top two aces alongside Lime. That was only if I successfully recruited her as my subordinate, of course.
"......."
Ryun seemed like a bright girl. With her eyes squeezed shut, she pressed her knees together.
"Lift your feet to the sky."
"Th-that's..."
"Lift them."
"......Ugh."
Ryun hesitantly lifted her legs. Her fair, smooth lower body was revealed before me. I had seen it once before while cleaning, but seeing it like this, it felt so alive.
"Elves don't have hair?"
Ryun's legs trembled slightly. Her face was red enough to explode from shame. But thanks to the misunderstanding that she would be eaten if she resisted, I could enjoy Ryun quite comfortably.
Squish.
I smeared my palm over Ryun's vulva.
"......Hnggg?!"
Ryun groaned at the cold sensation of the fluid touching her private parts. I spread it carefully around her vulva and pushed some of the excess into her anus with my middle finger.
'Elves have a back door too?'
As expected, an elf is just a human with big ears. I wondered if others would see this as beastiality, but there was no one around to judge me.
'Well, that's fine then.'
"Haa, hng..."
Ryun's breathing began to grow ragged. Her eyelids, trembling even to her lips, fluttered, and her golden eyes lost focus, becoming cloudy.
"Wh-what is this...?"
"Have you never masturbated?"
"Mas...turbate? What is that, ah, what is it...?"
Such a sheltered flower. Perhaps she didn't know anything about sexual acts at all? I placed my other palm over her vulva and spread the mucus. Ryun's labia twitched, and the mucus began to slide inside.
"Then you can learn today."
Squelch.
I pushed a finger into her vulva.
"!!"
Ryun's body arched. Her upper body, bound by vines, thrashed, and I frowned at the vaginal muscles tightening around my finger. It was narrower than I imagined. It was this tight with just one finger; would two even fit?
'What if she dies from the pain if I force it in?'
Eila had endured my member and even escaped while still impaled by it. Her vulva had ended up slightly swollen, but she had the physique to handle me. But Ryun was a different story. If I forced it in and she tore, I wouldn't be able to use her again, and I couldn't afford to lose a five-star unique High Elf just because of my sexual desire.
"Well, there's a way for everything."
I pulled my finger out of Ryun and quickly grabbed Eila, who was still unconscious in the corner. Ryun was startled by my sudden interest in the human, but she was already plotting her escape.
"Heh heh, you're not going anywhere."
I pulled the vine wrapped around my wrist. The tough vine was coiled around Ryun's neck; she had managed to stand up, but she was dragged back to the bed.
"Where are you running off to? From now on, this is your home."
"Pl-please spare me! I didn't know! Please forgive me!"
"Yeah, I'll spare you, so keep this in mind."
I grabbed Ryun's hair and made her look me in the eye. My neck hurt from looking down for so long, but Ryun's face was sufficiently terrified.
"If you try to run away one more time, I will really eat you."
"......Yes, *hic*!"
Ryun hiccuped and shed tears. At the same time, mucus flowed down from below. She had wet herself again.
'It smells like peaches.'
Could it be? I laid Eila down in a standard position and carefully stacked Ryun on top of her. Ryun lay on top of Eila, facing the ceiling, and I tore off all the vines on Eila's lower body that were getting in the way.
"Eek."
Ryun screamed at my brute strength. Eila's legs were now free, but she still showed no signs of waking up.
"They say a chicken is better than a pheasant."
"What, ahh!"
I thrust my index finger between Ryun's labia. At my action of gently scraping the vaginal wall, Ryun's head snapped back, landing right next to Eila's face.
Squelch.
I pulled my index finger out and popped it into my mouth to suck on it. Beyond the sour grape taste characteristic of the slime dragon's mucus, a sweet, honey-like liquid that smelled of peaches stimulated my tongue.
"Ah, I shouldn't have done that."
I deeply regretted applying the mucus to excite Ryun. I never imagined an elf's "arousal fluid" would taste like honey and smell like fruit.
"No, wait."
It had a sour grape taste, but the mucus wasn't inedible. It was actually delicious. Why else would Lime still be greedily devouring the slime dragon?
"......Eureka."
I pushed my member into Eila's vulva. Now adjusted to my form, Eila's interior accepted me very warmly.
"Ugh.... Ah?"
While Ryun was still dazed, I grabbed her pelvis and lifted her up. Ryun's thighs were draped over my shoulders, and her crotch was placed right in front of my nose.
"Wh-what are you trying to do...!!"
Ryun was flustered as she was lifted at an angle. I stretched my head up, looking down at Ryun from above her swollen clitoris, and licked it with my tongue.
"I'll enjoy the meal."
"N-no! Spare me, ahhh!!"
Slurp!
I buried my face in Ryun's vulva. Tasting Ryun above and Eila below. Eila's interior was still slick with my semen, so I couldn't taste her, but at least I could confirm with my tongue what kind of flavor this elf had. Ryun tasted like peaches.
I drank Ryun until the construction of the summoning facility was complete.
