Chapter Title: A Joyful Orgy Party with My Wives (1)

"Will this spot work for planting it?"
"Yeah, a little more to the right from there."
"Here?"
"Yes, perfect. Right there."
Shk- Chpok-
Piona dug into the soil with her shovel.
She planted the seed from the tree fruit beneath the moist earth, covered it with dirt, and then Eve helped spread the soil evenly.
Sweep, sweep-
With both of them bent over at the waist, their plump, curvaceous hips were on full display. Since only my wives lived in the dungeon's residential area, they were dressed in comfortable clothes.
'They're as beautiful as ever.'
Piona and Eve were top-tier females through and through. Having been away for a few days on outings, they seemed even prettier now that I was seeing their faces again.
Piona had that tsundere charm with her sharp, piercing eyes, while Eve exuded sensuality with her slightly drooping eye corners.
I stared greedily at my two wives' bodies and approached them.
Piona furrowed her brow and glanced around.
"Huh...?"
"What's wrong?"
"Hm, no. I just felt a presence. Like someone was watching us..."
"Really?"
Since I'd approached without hiding my presence on purpose, Piona must have sensed my gaze. I walked straight toward them and revealed my body.
"Wha- A person!?"
"How did you get here...!"
Piona and Eve reacted with surprise and went on guard at the same time.
I chuckled at their response.
'This is only natural.'
I hadn't expected them to recognize me right away.
They didn't even know my human form to begin with, let alone that I could transform into one.
So of course they'd be on alert when I showed up like this.
"Who are you! Who sent you? How did you break through the assault section and infiltrate the dungeon's residential area?"
Piona whipped out a dagger in an instant and unleashed her killing intent. She pointed the blade at me and demanded answers. I shrugged casually and replied.
"Because I'm the master of this dungeon, obviously. Piona, Eve. It's me. Your beloved husband, the Tenta-"
Whiiish-!
Boom-!
"...cle Monster."
A dagger came flying at me mid-sentence.
'Whoa.'
Piona's thrown dagger whistled past my face and embedded itself deep into the tree behind me, shattering bark in the process.
I'd dodged the attack with ease, but inwardly I was impressed. I hadn't expected her to strike so suddenly.
Piona glared at me with eyes blazing with murderous fury.
"I don't know who you are, but daring to impersonate Lord Tentacle!? You've made a grave mistake."
She growled.
Eve, standing beside Piona, looked back and forth between me and her.
"Piona, what do we do?"
"What do you mean? Lord Tentacle said it himself: any creature that invades the dungeon is an enemy to be killed."
"Yeah, you're right."
"The only exceptions are pretty women. If it's a good-looking girl with a nice body, Lord Tentacle will judge her himself, so try to capture her alive if possible. But since this guy's a man, no need for that."
Hmm.
I had indeed given those instructions.
The special tentacles, tentacle appendages, and stationary tentacles guarded the dungeon, making infiltration nearly impossible. But if a beautiful woman somehow made it through, I'd told my wives to subdue her without killing if they could.
Of course, I'd also said their safety came first if it got too tough.
"B-but I never thought someone would actually make it this far..."
"Yeah. All the monsters that tried invading so far died at the entrance without even getting inside... Looks like this one slipped past Lord Tentacle's appendages by sheer luck. Step back, sis. I'll handle him."
"Okay."
Step, step-
Piona stepped in front of Eve and aimed her dagger at me.
"You dodged once, but there won't be a second time. Get ready! Return!"
As Piona shouted, a line of light connected the dagger she'd thrown earlier back to her hand.
She pulled on the light, and the dagger flew back to her grip.
'Oh, that's a neat trick.'
It was definitely the same technique Elena used.
While I was away, Piona must have learned it from Elena and honed it enough for real combat. I felt proud of her.
Ignoring that, Piona aimed her dagger at me with killing intent radiating from her.
This would've been unthinkable not long ago. She'd always been tsundere and flirtatious around me, blushing and teasing.
It reminded me of the first time she and Amy had stormed the dungeon.
'If I just reverted to my tentacle form now, the misunderstanding would clear up instantly.'
But this was a rare opportunity. It felt like a waste to end it so soon.
A playful urge bubbled up inside me. I decided to play the innocent young man.
"W-wait a second! Hold on! We're both human—why are you treating me like an enemy?"
I held up both palms to show I meant no harm. But Piona's killing intent didn't waver. She spoke in a low, menacing tone.
"This is Lord Tentacle's dungeon—my master's domain. No outsider belongs here."
"L-Lord Tentacle? So you're serving a monster as your master? What kind of-"
Whish-!
'Wow.'
Another dagger flew at me mid-sentence. I tilted my head to dodge, admiring her ruthless precision.
"I have nothing to say to you. You stepped into forbidden territory—death is your only option. And why pretend you don't know!? You were impersonating Lord Tentacle just now! Begging for mercy won't help! Return!"
The light connected her hand to the dagger again. As soon as it returned, Piona charged at me.
Slash-!
She attacked without hesitation, as if our conversation was over.
Thud-!
Mana erupted, amplifying her movements. The dagger swung precisely toward my throat's vital point.
Swish-
I dodged leisurely, but I could feel the full force behind her strike.
'She's gotten even stronger.'
It wasn't just the Return technique she'd learned from Elena—Piona's dagger skills had sharpened noticeably.
And she wasn't shaken by this human body's plausibility or my handsome face; her resolve to eliminate an intruder of her own species was unwavering.
Perfect for my wife.
I dodged her attacks while speaking up.
"Piona. It's me, the Tentacle Monster. Stop attacking."
"You're sticking to the impersonation to the end!? Lord Tentacle isn't scrawny like you! He's far more majestic!"
Hold on—comparing a human body to my tentacle form isn't fair.
Slash-!
Slashhh-!
I kept dodging her daggers by a hair's breadth, moving fluidly like a dancer to toy with her.
Piona gritted her teeth as she unleashed a barrage, sensing the gap in our skills. I smiled at her.
"Your dagger skills have improved a ton, by the way."
"Stop acting familiar!"
Vrrr- Boom!
Oh.
A powerful energy emanated from Piona's dagger.
Different from Elena's lightning or flames, but I could feel mana infused with a strong attribute vibrating inside the blade. Used properly, it would pack serious power.
"You've trained well. Good job."
"Shut up!"
She cut me off mid-praise and hammered me with fierce strikes. I replied regretfully.
"Why keep refusing to talk? Guess I have no choice, Piona. To prove it's me, I'll have to put it in."
"You disgusting creep! My body belongs only to my master, Lord Tentacle! I was going to let you go easy, but no more!"
Piona bared her teeth and pressed her attack even harder.
I dodged while feeling an odd urge to laugh.
Even under assault and killing intent, bantering with my wife after so long felt exhilarating.
"Ah, that strike was a bit lacking."
"Urgh!"
I dodged her blows, complimented her swordsmanship, teased her, and passed the time.
It was quite enjoyable, but nothing lasts forever.
"Hah, haah, haah..."
Piona's stamina had reached its limit.
Having overexerted herself to match my overwhelming speed, her breathing quickly grew ragged.
"Is that all?"
"Huff, heuk... N-not yet...!"
"Nah. You've improved a lot. Good work."
"Don't treat me like a-!"
Cling-
"Gasp...!?"
I caught Piona's swinging dagger between two fingers without dodging. Then, gripping it with thumb and index, I flicked it upward, disarming her.
"Wh-what...?"
While Piona panicked, I snatched her other dagger with my fingers and tossed it away.
Even with Return, it'd come back—but the point was to etch our clear power gap into her mind.
Eve, who'd been watching our fight, went pale in an instant.
"Piona!"
"S-sis! Go get Elena and Yuri quick!"
"Ah! Y-yeah!"
Piona shouted to Eve in a fluster.
Eve nodded and bolted toward the mansion, but I used a mana barrier to bind Piona in place and blocked Eve's path in a flash.
Shh-
"Ah!"
Thud-
"Eek!"
I grabbed Eve's wrist as she stood before me. She grimaced and yelled.
"N-no! Let go! I hate it! Please... let..."
No, that was when she tried to scream.
"L-let... go...?"
Eve started to shriek but trailed off, her mouth flapping open and shut.
She looked at me once.
At the wrist I held once.
Then back at me—
Her eyes widened slowly, like a primitive discovering fire.
What?
What's with her?
Her pale face flushed back to normal, blooming with radiant beauty.
As I stood there confused, Eve spoke up.
"C-could it be... Lord Tentacle?"
What? How'd she figure it out?
