Chapter Title: Social Death Must Be Avoided!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Something that must be avoided as much as social death!
Is this really okay?
It was the lakeside water source on the dungeon's 1st floor.
A secret spot that Lee Gok had earnestly begged me to keep just between the two of us.
Taking none other than Lee Miran—my rival in the successor race—to such a place.
If word of this ever got out?
"You've... broken your promise...?"
A heartbroken Lee Gok.
...If it was just that level, it'd still be somewhat salvageable.
"To betray a promise with a daughter of a hunter family. This calls for 'punishment'."
...Under that excuse, she could rip off my underwear on the spot and legally slurp away at my dick.
'If that happened, it'd be an instant possession by one of this reverse-world's signature sow pigs... leading straight to pregnancy.'
Let's think this through carefully.
Head to the lakeside, and there's a thick chance I'd get 'devoured' with a solid thwack by that ' stacked' opponent.
But refuse to go...?
Gulp-.
This time, standing right before me was the ' stacked' entity itself.
Legal or not, the owner of the one body on Earth you must never touch.
Just picturing Lee Miran Princess suffering the same fate as Lee Gok sent chills racing down my spine.
"I'll... guide you there."
"?! You're surprisingly agreeable?"
"Yes... It feels like the lesser evil..."
"...?"
I chose miso soup over straight shit—the one at least somewhat edible.
And Lee Gok called herself a 'pure love obsessive'.
'No way she'd grab an apologizing guy and immediately go at it all sloppy wet, right?'
Besides, as a prime successor to a hunter family, noblesse oblige—she'd have to show some aristocratic decorum!
...She damn well better.
Anyway.
"Hehe. I was gonna force you down and make you spill if you kept it secret till the end. Kinda disappointing."
Please don't say stuff like that with a body like yours.
If she weren't a hunter family successor, I'd smack that ass bright red right now.
But no can do.
If I lost and ended up flat on my back instead, my tastes would pivot to little girls overnight.
Worse, the story itself would get axed in a flash.
So.
"Ah, gotta hurry."
"W-what?! Ignoring me?! You just dissed this lady?!"
Thud thud thud thud.
"W-wait! Let's go together!"
Avoid it if you can? Enjoy it otherwise?
Screw that.
The second I enjoy it, I'm fucked.
I just marched steadily toward the lakeside, ignoring whatever flirty lines this little demon Lee Miran tossed my way.
"Sorry, but this is South Korea... so I'll pass on Lee Miran Princess—not quite 'evenly' developed."
"Wha—?! H-Hyunjun! Wait uup~!" ◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ "Is this... a lake? Incredible. Never heard of a lake on the 1st floor..."
"......"
"A brand-new hunter—let alone a guy—wouldn't discover unseen terrain in the dungeon. So this must be a secret spot Lee Gok shared only with you."
Telepathy or what?
Earlier too, that smile piercing straight through my thoughts.
Seeing her chuckle like a succubus—kuhuhu~—it wasn't just my imagination craving a forehead flick.
"...Please keep this place secret."
"Got it. I will."
"Of course, some compensation in return... eh?"
This was still a secret spot for just Lee Gok and me.
I figured I'd bribe her a bit to buy the eldest princess's silence.
But... the second princess caves so easily?
'What gives? Sudden maturity kick?'
Sure, she was roughly twice my age.
But her looks—and that infuriating childlike aura—made it hard to buy.
So this abrupt grown-up vibe caught me off guard.
As if she liked my reaction.
"Keeping a man's secrets is a lady's duty."
Lee Miran Princess, winking one eye.
"Adult..."
"Hm?"
"...For sure."
"?! O-of course! I'm late 30s this year!"
With that figure, try buying booze at a convenience store.
Who'd scan it believing late 30s?
She knew her complex inside out—hypersensitive about her build.
"Ahem! A-anyway... why'd you wanna come here all of a sudden?"
Lee Miran Princess turns to me.
"Ah, got some business."
"Business? In this monster-free safe zone?"
Fair point—normal hunters would call it a time sink.
Dungeons rarely had true safe zones devoid of monsters.
Like this lakeside we stood on.
Crafted like rest stops, always found by luck—an oasis amid desert for wounded hunters awaiting rescue.
But.
'We're both pristine, no scratches.'
Plus, dungeon 1st floor.
Push past 4th and hunters dub it 'noob zone'—the cushiest spot.
Safest nook in the softest layer.
What 'business' in a dump like this? Lee Miran loitered silently behind me.
Me? Wondering what to do, I drew the dagger at my waist... aka Lime in disguise.
Whisper whisper.
"Lime. Made it, like you said."
"Yup! Good job, master!"
"So... now what?"
"First, back to my original form!"
"...Huh?"
Cleared the first quest.
Second quest chimes in.
Show off summoning a familiar monster as a male hunter—right in front of the second princess gunning for me.
'Shit, that'd spell real disaster...?'
What now.
Can't bail after dragging us here.
Worse, Lee Miran—pumped to assist—wouldn't sit idle if I bounced.
That was the real kicker.
Seolgi or Lee Gok? Lewd-as-hell bods, so pussy spread or nipple tease? Shrug it off.
But Lee Miran unhappy, rampaging like her sisters?
'Fuck, gotta block that.'
Glance glance.
"...Why the side-eyes since earlier?"
Your existence is the crime.
No, what kinda life led to stunting at that size till now?
'Think...'
Revert Lime to human form without a drop of drool from Lee Miran mid-process.
Two birds, one stone.
Pheasant and egg!
To dodge 'social death', IQ spiking past 200 for a sec, I finally...
"...! Got it..."
Truth is always singular!
Like needling a hack detective's neck, nailed the 'attack' for this mess.
Dubbed: SF conman sex pest play.
"Target point reached!"
"...?"
"Oppa?"
"Target locked! Mission success odds: 99.99%!"
"Hyunjun...? What's this sudden act?"
"Quiet! Scanning site now. Initiating 'connection' to next level."
Drop my stock value to her.
Commit so hard to isekai schtick I'd cringe myself.
Thus, channeling RoboCop in SF mode for a beat, I blabbered bullshit fitting my looks. ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [...Pfft, puhehe!] [You desperately resisted to avert 'social death.'] [Acquired Hidden Title - Don't Wanna Get Banned (Passive).] [10 points awarded.] Status window mid-act.
You laughing too? Overkill much?
Points from periods, now this crap too.
Not thrilled one bit, unlike back then.
Status window.
You're my ally, sure—but damn if I don't wanna boot you sometimes.
Anyway.
'Groundwork laid.'
Lime, no more mere familiar.
You're the droid flanking a Star Wars Jedi.
Spawn max 'robot' vibes, like a suit component.
"Project Lime, summon!"
Ass-clownery peaking, dagger erupts in peak SF flair.
"Clank. Clank. Clunk!"
"......"
Mouthing SFX for Lime's grand entrance.
"Ta-da! I appear!"
"...Slime?"
"Robot shaped like one! Right?"
"Yep yep~ Robot me!"
Lee Miran too stunned to quip as our combo lands zzang!
Her brain lag? Proof this farce paid off.
'No heart-shaped pupils at least. Small mercies.'
Other princesses? Fine.
Lee Miran? Hard pass.
Wanna flash chest-pussy? Bulk up like sis first.
Mission cleared smooth.
Sigh of relief, now—what's Lime's play here?
Thud thud.
Eyeing Lime below.
"...Lime?"
"Hmm..."
"...?"
Lime's gaze: not lakeside, but dead ahead at Supreme Lee Clan's second heir.
Caution warranted on approach.
Straight at Lee Miran Princess.
"L-Lime?!"
What's with her sudden vibe?
Tamed monster—no human aggro.
Yet slime girl sizes up the pint-sized princess.
Creeped, I head over.
"Master master!"
Lime spins to me, beaming.
"She's tinier than me!"
"?!"
"...Huh?"
"Perfect lil sis material!"
Blissful grin, zero fear.
"Ha! ...Amusing words indeed."
"......"
"From a 'robot,' no less."
Straight raking the second princess's ultimate no-touch complex.
Pat pat.
"Sooo cute! Ideal minion!"
"Lime! For god's sake, stop!!"
