Chapter Title: Rape Isn't My Thing

[Remaining Time: 0 hours 38 minutes 04 seconds.]
Please, let's think this through.
A way to make Lee Gok, a B-rank hunter overwhelmingly stronger than me, submit.
We were now less than an hour away from quest failure.
The moment that timer hit zero, I'd probably get fucked as per the penalty.
That meant plunging deep into the peerless beauty princess's crotch until she was satisfied.
"Still, we managed to visit a lot of places in just one day."
"Did we?"
"Yes! Hyunjun's stamina was so impressively manly that we cleared the entire schedule without a hitch."
Sure, except I failed to clear the most important part.
A red sunset was sinking over the green plains.
Since the dungeon was a world apart from Earth, gazing at the slowly darkening sky, we realized evening was approaching.
'Sex is a nighttime national rule, right? So does that mean she'll force herself on me once night falls?'
'Then that sun dipping almost below the horizon is the countdown to the end of my life.'
'Actually, less than 30 minutes left now.'
I had to make Lee Gok submit in this narrow window, fast.
But how?!
It was right then.
"Now, let's make one final stop. There's nothing specific to learn there, but it's still a place worth knowing about."
Like the boss room in a game?
Lee Gok was inviting me oh-so-naturally to a spot unrelated to the field trip.
No point running now anyway— a B-rank hunter's speed would catch me in seconds.
Like the saying goes, enter the tiger's den with your wits about you and you'll survive. Since it had come to this, I decided to follow along obediently.
And if I lost there, at least we'd settle things definitively.
Even an earthworm writhes when stepped on.
"Got it! Let's go!"
"...? R-Really?"
On the way, in case of the worst-case 'sex' scenario, I had to win that at least.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
I started loosening up my lower body, swaying my hips in advance.
What kind of shady spot was she taking me to?
The site of our final showdown, where I stepped in feeling the greatest crisis of my life, turned out to be surprisingly wholesome.
No, beyond wholesome—it was even beautiful.
"...A lake?"
After passing through a darkening forest where the sun's light was fading, Lee Gok stopped before a serene lake where tiny lights fluttered like fireflies.
"This is my secret rest spot, one I stumbled upon by chance when I first entered a dungeon."
The lake shimmered with a crystalline blue glow.
The water was so pure it felt refreshing just to look at.
On top of that, the mana lights resembling fireflies lit up the surroundings like lanterns, making the pristine water's color even more vibrant.
"Want to try drinking some? It'll taste way better than any natural spring water on the surface."
"This water... safe to drink?"
"Of course! I even boiled ramen here once, so the water quality's already been tested."
Ramen seals the deal.
With that, I cupped my hands, brought some lake water to my lips, and drank.
Gulp, gulp.
The dungeon's drinking water was sweeter than any on Earth.
No, this was basically honeyed water.
"Mm! This is seriously delicious!"
"Hee hee. Glad you like it."
"Just bottling this and taking it out would make a fortune!"
"......"
No water like this existed on Earth.
Plus, even on the easiest first floor where survival was always on the line in dungeon raids, a reliable water source was crucial intel.
So.
'Sure, we could just head back to the surface for water, but reporting a potable lake like this to the Hunter Association would net a solid reward.'
...That thought flashed through my mind, but I kept it to myself.
Lee Gok couldn't possibly overlook something like that.
'She didn't bring me here to ask how much the info's worth.'
"Nice view."
"...Isn't it?"
For now, matching the mood, I silently gazed at the lake growing prettier as evening deepened.
"I first came down to a dungeon because of my clan's relatives."
"...!"
"When Mom was away on an overseas trip and the house was empty, they seized the chance. 'We can always have more kids,' they said, shoving me in here to test me."
The dark underbelly of the Supreme Lee Clan, unknown to the public.
I listened quietly to Lee Gok.
"I was scared. And it was tough."
"...Yeah."
"My hunter powers hadn't fully awakened yet, so I figured I wouldn't last a day. But going back out the entrance meant my relatives threatened to kill me."
Survive one day in the dungeon and return.
That was the condition those so-called relatives imposed on Lee Gok, who was only nine at the time.
Of course, even with her innate talent, a child's body couldn't handle it. About an hour after entering, she told me she was on the brink of death.
"...And that's when I found this rest spot—the lake."
"So, nothing to learn, but a place you wanted to visit."
"Hee hee, yeah. I wanted to show this lake to Hyunjun—no, Yongchan—who stuck with my lessons to the end."
"Y-Yeah... wait, what?!"
It was then.
"What did you just say?"
"Why? Surprised I know your real identity?"
"!!"
It felt like switching from a quiet fairy tale to a blockbuster mid-read.
That shocking.
Stunned, I turned to Lee Gok with a raised voice.
"Wh-When did you figure it out?!"
She giggled like a little devil, then answered brightly.
"From the rumors about a male hunter showing up in Korea."
"Just from that?"
"Well, it was suspicion at first. Then I got solid proof and had to believe it."
"Solid proof...?"
"Seolgi. My cute little sister who’s always glued to Yongchan's side."
"Ah......"
Come to think of it.
That girl straight-up called me Kim Yongchan this morning, pulling all kinds of aggro.
And Lee Miran, her fellow princess sister, seemed clueless, but Lee Gok had a soft spot for Seolgi?
"You pay a lot of attention to your sisters, huh?"
"Yeah. Well... things got awkward with all the heir competition talk, but both used to follow me around like a mom back in the day."
Thinking about it, "sister" or not.
She was nearly 30 years older than Seolgi.
In a normal family, that's a mom-daughter age gap.
"Plus, back in elementary school—sports day, I think. I actually spotted Yongchan with Seolgi from afar."
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah! You looked so delicious... "
"What?"
"Huh?! Oh, no—I mean, your bento looked so tasty! I almost went over to say hi."
And she'd seen me in person as a kid, too.
Even if I hid my face and build, a pro hunter's instincts pierced right through.
"...As expected of Korea's face of the nation."
"Don't worry, though. I figured it out because it's me. Mom, Miran, or other women won't spot Yongchan's identity."
"Y-You'll keep it secret, right?"
"Of course. After all, you won't blab about my secret spot to others, will you?"
So that's why she brought me to her private hideaway.
To ease my worries, offering a fair trade at minimum.
Damn.
Felt completely played from start to finish.
But not bad.
That aside.
The moment I'd dreaded most finally arrived.
...Click.
"Hm?"
No ideas to make Lee Gok submit until the end.
Impossible from the start.
This difficulty would've been better at level 90, not 9.
Whatever, what's done is done.
Instead of griping about the past, prepare for the present.
With that, I drew my pistols in both hands but didn't aim right away, out of courtesy.
Pull the trigger when Lee Gok strips naked and charges.
"Lee Gok, I'm ready."
"...Pardon?"
"No need to play dumb and ambush me."
"Ambush...?"
"You were gonna rape me anyway. So come on already."
"...What? R-Rape?!"
Her expression was priceless.
A pro hunter who'd hit B-rank by her 50s.
Without the quest, I'd have let my guard down at that face and gotten bodied.
Not a chance.
Click!
"Don't you want this 'dick' of mine?"
"D-Dick...! *Slurp!* O-Of course I do..."
"Just thinking about it soaks your crotch, right?"
"N-Naturally! I'm a woman with a womb! When I comfort myself, I spray the room with male musk perfume because I crave dick so bad!"
Finally showing her true colors.
Time to go all in...
"But! That's only delicious after I've completely conquered the man and fuck him senseless!"
"...Pardon?"
...or not.
"...Not rape?"
"Obviously!"
Lee Gok shook her head firmly at my words.
"Rape... ugh! That means he'd look at me with contempt while we fuck—no thrill in loveless sex like that!"
"Uh... yeah..."
"I want pure love sex! Where the man gets so horny he shows his throbbing erection in front of me first!"
A princess with seemingly twisted yet normal tastes?
One thing clear: she was a total pure love fanatic, walled off from rape or NTR kinks.
'Then what's the penalty?'
Quest failure means I get raped?
But the only woman here who could hates it?
Then who...
Bzzz...
Will fuck me?
As that thought crossed my mind.
"...Huh?"
"Eh?"
Suddenly, a human-sized water pillar erupted from the center of the blue lake perfect for drinking.
As it lost power and splashed back down, atop the lake...
"What the hell is that."
A mysterious lifeform shaped like a human, covered head to toe in blue slime, hovered there.
A monster type unseen even in lower floors past the first.
As I stood dumbfounded watching.
"Yongchan, listen up."
"Lee Gok?"
"I'll give the signal first. When I say run, you bolt without looking back. Got it?"
"......Pardon?"
This was just the first floor.
The weakest zone in the dungeon, and a B-rank hunter breaking a sweat.
Watching Lee Gok, I realized in seconds.
The penalty's true nature.
The woman coming to rape me was none other than that monster.
