[The Calm Before the Storm]

One hour before midnight. I took measures to ensure Eila was fast asleep before returning to the dungeon, and as soon as I arrived, I headed straight for "Luna’s Quarters" on the first basement floor.

"Haa, haa..."

"Mm, you're here?"

On the bed, a completely exhausted Shaitan and Ryun were welcoming me in the nude. Even though we were on the front lines of a war against Halpas's legion, the two of them were busy bonding as if such things didn't matter at all.

"Sorry. I was late because I was busy draining Eila."

"...Thanks to that, I was squeezed dry."

Shaitan lifted her tail with her hand. Even though she could lift it on her own, the fact that she used her hand meant she was that drained of energy. I grabbed Shaitan’s heart-tipped tail with my hand.

"Sniff, sniff. It’s heavily scented with peach. A flat peach, at that."

I already knew what kind of things Ryun and Shaitan had been doing to pass the time. 'Using Shaitan’s tail as a dildo. Ryun, you really are something else.' Luna had been using Lime to penetrate Shax, while Ryun had shoved Shaitan’s tail inside herself, turning it into an anal plug.

"How’s the sensitivity on this?"

"It’s just an incredibly sensitive erogenous zone... hnnng. It’s similar to Ryun’s ears."

As I touched Shaitan’s tail, she writhed, and Ryun giggled, pointing at the tail.

"I learned almost everything from Shaitan. With this."

"...I couldn't teach her the unique magic of the Succubus race, but I injected her directly with sex magic, which anyone can use as long as they have mana. I was squeezed quite a bit, though."

In short, Shaitan had inserted her tail into Ryun’s anus to directly inject her with magic.

"Since the tail is an erogenous zone, it’s the most appropriate conduit for transmitting sex magic. By inserting this tail into Ryun and delivering mana directly, the knowledge and usage methods for sex magic are transferred at once—"

"That’s enough explanation. Shaitan, so how far can Ryun use magic now?"

I wasn't a mage, so there was no need for me to understand the complicated stuff. What mattered was that Shaitan’s sex magic had been transferred to Ryun.

"Hmm, for starters: erection stimulation, ejaculation volume enhancement, erection maintenance, rigidity improvement, pre-cum...? Plus, aphrodisiac properties, turning mana into semen, pain relief during genital contact, infinite relaxation of vaginal muscles, and so on... It’s very diverse!"

"That’s some terrifying magic."

Excluding the act of exploiting a partner's essence as a Succubus, it was safe to say she had received almost everything related to sexual intercourse. 'If Mary is Gremory’s disciple, then Ryun is Shaitan’s disciple.' Humans learned elemental magic from witches, but High Elves were learning sex magic from a Succubus. I was so moved I could almost cry at how commendable this behavior was.

"Ryun. Then, can you get up now? Or do you need more rest?"

"Do you have urgent business?"

"If it’s urgent, it’s urgent; if not, it’s not. I’m thinking of doing something with this."

I pulled an object that sparkled like a jewel from inside my black robe. As soon as Ryun and Shaitan saw the orb, they immediately realized what it was.

"Is that a Dimension Stone? By any chance, Vapula’s?"

"Yeah. I got it after taking the heads of those fire lions."

Valac, who had been Vapula’s subordinate, unfortunately hadn't regained consciousness yet. I had hoped to get some help if he were awake, but if the party involved was still passed out, it couldn't be helped.

"And I’m planning to embed this right here."

I pointed to a corner of the wall in the final interception room.

"I thought about gathering all the sub-dungeons on the upper floors, but since the space has expanded, I figured I could just install it here. After fighting fire lions, one needs a place to cool off."

"Certainly, it wouldn't be a big problem wherever you put it. When you say cool off... are you thinking of using the pool?"

"Of course. Is the work going well?"

"Yes. As you instructed, we drained all the water and disposed of the cockatrice corpses."

The water pool that Shax had filled was now bone-dry. The water that should have been filling it had been spread wide by the Slime Dragons, who had diligently connected the holes at the bottom of the pool to the underfloor heating tunnels. In other words, I had created a wide waterway beneath the first basement floor. Currently, it was stained somewhat red with the blood the cockatrices had spilled, but there would surely be a way to purify it later.

"Good. I’ll ask Shax for a way to deal with the bloody water later. ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠For now, tell them to keep working. Shaitan, the kids do construction well even without Lime, right?"

"Yes. It took a little longer than expected... but Lime’s mission was more important."

"Right. Just keep building like you are now. It seems those things work better when Lime isn't around anyway. That’s the end of the dungeon issues. Now, for the Dimension Stone..."

I checked their condition while continuing the conversation. They looked far too exhausted to pursue extreme efficiency.

"It seems dangerous to push it, so let’s recover your stamina first. Sleep well tonight."

"Master."

"Are you just going to leave?"

Ryun and Shaitan shifted slightly to the left and right. The empty space was the perfect size for me ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠to lie down, so I had no choice but to throw off my robe and lie in the gap they had created.

"Hehe."

"It feels like my fatigue is melting away."

Ryun and Shaitan immediately clung to my body. Although this house was technically Luna’s, the owner was out working hard on other things, and others were occupying the bed, lying naked.

"This is nice. If it weren't for the competition, it would be truly peaceful."

"That’s true. But Master, it’s not just the competition; humanity and the demon realm are at war. It’ll probably be chaotic for a while."

"That’s right. That’s why we have to force peace into existence."

I pulled Ryun and Shaitan into my arms and said, "First, we unify all the legions into the Legion of Wrath, and then we have a showdown with the Human Alliance and win. We hand over the Goddess to the Demon King, and we take the world. How about that?"

"Will it be peaceful if we take the world?"

"We’re the ones who will enjoy the world we take, and there will be plenty of people to do the work underneath us, right? Instead of Solomon’s 72 dungeons, we divide the entire world into Pahuu’s 72 administrative districts. Hehe. This barony... yeah, we’ll make it the Andras territory. How’s that?"

"Not dungeon masters, but a concept of earthly human territories... That’s good. Since you intend to rule over both humanity and the demon realm."

"Right. For that very reason... let’s sleep and think about it when we wake up."

Although there was a loss of experience, Ryun’s legs were trembling, so what could I do? I patted them both to help them sleep and closed my eyes.

Sigh, sigh. Even if sleep didn't come due to anxiety, I had to at least let Ryun and Shaitan recover their fatigue.

"Hey. I’m fully recovered—why are you guys sleeping here?"

"Oh, you’re here. I’m going to sleep a bit, so you guard the dungeon."

I waved at the Dark Elf Queen, Luna, who had entered the room a few hours later. Luna had entered with her stigma glowing brightly on her lower abdomen, but upon seeing the two of them sleeping, she hurriedly covered it.

"What is this? Weren't these two supposed to be guarding the dungeon?"

"They worked hard supervising the waterway construction."

In reality, I was more exhausted because of the "sex magic transfer" I’d learned about midway, but Luna didn't need to know that.

"Where’s Shax?"

"Upper floor, prisoner prison. I left her with Lime. She’s just stuffing her inside her own body, isn't she?"

"...She put her in?"

"She was putting her in all three holes at once. Shax had just given up."

As soon as Luna finished speaking, I opened the system window and opened the view of the prisoner prison. In the connected cells, the unconscious Fallen Angel Valac was in one, and Shax was lying buried inside Lime in another.

"Whoa. Doing it even while lying down, I’m jealous."

Shax’s front and back holes were stretched wide enough to see the wrinkles through the red slime, and the mouth of the face that had emerged from Lime’s body like a sleeping bag was biting down on something long and red.

'Is this a bit too much?' Seeing her staring blankly with eyes that had half-given up on life made me feel a bit sorry. But when I thought about how Ryun and Shaitan, who were lying next to me, could have ended up like that if Shax had won, my anger flared up again.

'Well done, Kim Lime. Go ahead and corrupt Shax with Wrath.'

...At least she’s still feeling pleasure, so it shouldn't matter, right? Even if it’s a 24-hour neglect play like you’d see in an adult video, it’s not a mechanical movement, so she must be feeling it well enough.

"Luna. You come and lie down too. Don't wake the others."

"...I’ll overlook your attitude for now, but where are you telling me to lie down?"

"Right here, right here."

I pointed to my body, and Luna chuckled as she began to take off her clothes one by one.

"You’re very blatant. Fine. I’ll lie down. But we aren't doing anything. ...I’m tired from using my waist too."

"Of course."

As soon as I finished speaking, Luna climbed on top of me. Because we hadn't aligned the angle, my glans rubbed against Luna’s stigma, but neither she nor I had any intention of doing more.

"I’m really tired... How do you do this thousands of times a day?"

"Isn't that because of the differences between men and women? The muscles we use daily are different, hehe. You’ve only ever been penetrated, never done the penetrating, right?"

"...That’s true. Then, would you find it hard if you were the one being penetrated?"

"Crazy talk. Why would I ever let myself be penetrated?"

"You’re certainly firm on that. Fine, I get it."

Luna chuckled and adjusted her position.

"I also prefer being penetrated to penetrating."

Squish. Without warning, Luna shoved my erect cock inside her. Unlike when we were with the watermelon flavor, she tightened around me with maturity, and the fact that she was soaking wet before even starting made her seem like a bitch in heat.

"Hnnng."

However, Luna didn't move intensely back and forth, nor did she tighten strongly. She simply rested on top of me with my cock inside her.

"I need to rest a bit too... Can I trust you and sleep?"

"Of course."

I lifted my head and left a goodnight kiss on Luna’s forehead. Luna looked stunned for a moment at the kiss, then grabbed my face and smiled deeply.

"Is that a kiss? Pfft, I’ll show you the true skill of an elf."

"Are you good at kissing?"

"Of course. I wasn't planning on saying this, but..."

Luna smiled seductively and opened her mouth. "I’ll do it exactly the way the 1st Elder uses her tongue."

"......Ugh."

Without moving her lower body at all, a kiss so intense it felt like it would wake the other two followed, and only after Luna pulled her lips away, satisfied, could I catch my breath properly.

"Do you know? Your mouth... tastes amazing. Like sweet sap."

"......."

I closed my eyes quietly, without the energy to even retort. I prayed earnestly that Halpas wouldn't be dense enough to attack while I was asleep.

At the time Pahuu fell asleep. Luna, who had been occupying the center of Pahuu, scanned both sides with ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠a feeling of being filled from within.

"You guys fell asleep because you were tired from doing that? A passing dog would laugh."

"......I hate you, Luna-unnie."

"I should have given you a heads-up beforehand."

Ryun and Shaitan opened their eyes immediately and glared at Luna.

"We were waiting to connect to Master’s dream. Only Shaitan always gets to go in. So we were going to follow him in together today."

"Would it be any different in a dream? Just let him rest."

Luna hugged the two of them from above and pressed her body against them. "You did a lot today, right?"

"Then why is unnie the one penetrating him?"

"......He doesn't ejaculate just from being penetrated."

At Luna’s absurd logic, the two pouted their lips but still pressed their bodies together. Three naked women of different races clinging to one orc was not a sight easily seen.

"I hope it stays like this forever. But you two, what on earth were you planning to do in the dream?"

"That is..."

"Unnie, don't be surprised. In Master’s dream......."

Morning came. I woke up feeling refreshed, ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠and a smile came to my face as I looked at the three of them still sleeping soundly.

'Nice.'

When I was rolling around in Forneus’s dungeon, I lived in a barracks with sweaty orcs, but to think I’d be living a life of luxury with such beautiful women by my side. If this is success, then I could say I’ve lived a successful life.

'Now, I have to protect this.'

As the saying goes, the ultimate duty of a head of the household is to protect the peace of the home. To protect this current peace and to strengthen our legion’s new power, I will conquer the sub-dungeon.

For leather for bondage, what could be better than lion hide?
