Chapter Title: Captain-Level Exam (8)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Before heading back to Sera and Seri, I first slipped out of the city.
I had some business to take care of.
Now that I'd safely secured my spot as a captain-level asset for the monster wave defenses—and figured out exactly how I was going to devour Ray—it was time to get started.
'Gotta lay the groundwork first.'
I dashed into a nearby forest outside the city. Then, in a spot beyond the reach of human eyes, I began spawning tentacle subordinates.
Wooong—
My current tentacle subordinates ranged from N-1 to N-37. I'd been creating them a few at a time whenever needed, but this round, I planned to spawn N-38 through N-52—my current maximum—all at once.
Nutrition was overflowing anyway.
I pumped in the maximum nutrients per unit I could manage, spawning each one as powerfully as possible.
The newly created subordinates filled the forest.
I gazed at them and issued my command.
'Hunt as much as you can. Especially monsters. Humans are fair game if they get in your way, but if you go for the kill, make sure it's clean—no survivors. If any human's too strong to handle, steer clear entirely.'
Tzujup—
The tentacle subordinates reacted to every word. I continued.
'If you spot a pretty woman among humans you can take down, subdue her and signal me. Men? Kill on sight, no mercy. But humans in general? Best to avoid them. Stick to spots a little ways from the city. Each of you claim a direction and operate in that sector.'
Tzujup—
After laying down the initial orders, I demoted one of my existing "special subordinates" to regular tentacle subordinate status, then promoted one of these new ones to take its place.
Naturally, I swapped their designations.
'You—you're S-6 from now on. Grow as much as possible. Especially funnel 90% of everything N-38 through N-52 hunts straight to you. No nutrients to me from them—instead, hand over all their kills to S-6. Eat just enough to keep operating, store the rest, and feed it to S-6 on his visits.'
Tzujup—
S-6 had a major role to play.
One month until the monster wave.
To claim Ray, I needed to turn Sharlotte into my woman by then—and max out this one's growth. Far beyond even my sole evolved unit, S-1.
'Should be doable.'
Concentrating all that hunted prey into one would supercharge its development.
It stung a bit not getting feeds from N-38 to 52, but nutrition was already more than abundant—practically bursting at the seams.
N-1 through 37 were piping it to me in real time, nonstop.
'Dismissed. Stay as quiet as you can.'
Tzujup—
The subordinates dispersed toward their assigned sectors. I watched them go, then headed for a nearby group of adventurers.
I'd picked the emptiest forest around Christia, but spawning this many? Someone was bound to notice.
They hadn't caught me creating them, but now they stared in wide-eyed terror as my tentacle subordinates fanned out in every direction.
Chwak—
"Eh? Who—."
Pung—!
I appeared out of nowhere, and the man who looked like the party leader started to speak. I didn't let him finish—yanked a tentacle from my body and smashed his face in.
Thud thud—
The leader's face exploded into chunks. Instant death.
The rest of the party's eyes went huge at the sudden carnage.
"Kyaaak!"
"Cr-crazy! Wh-what the hell are you— Guk!"
"Mon-monster! It's a monster!"
The group was three men and one woman.
One man pointed at me accusingly, another bolted, and the woman collapsed screaming, legs giving out.
I punched a gaping hole through the pointing man's gut, then blasted the fleeing one with a magic bullet—reduced him to nothing.
Step, step—
"Wh-what in the world...... is this......"
Just the woman left now.
Before finishing them off, I'd scanned with Master of All Life. All four had physical stats stuck in the teens.
Barely any magic training to speak of—and this woman? Average physical 8, magic 6.
"N-no! Don't! What are you gonna do? Hey! Pl-please spare—."
I wrapped her body in tentacles, stripped her bare, and without any foreplay, rammed a Genital Tentacle straight into her pussy.
Jibubup—!
"Ngoooh!? Ngeuk—!? Oguk!?"
Her name was Brinda. Face didn't clear the bar, and she was experienced. Twenty-one years old, already bedded twenty-nine guys. Make it thirty with me.
No point savoring it—I dosed her with Lv. 30 aphrodisiac all at once and imprinted the Lewdness and Worship Yin Gate.
Jibup— jibup—! Jibup— jibup—!
"Nghit!? Aghik! Hek! Nghok! Wh-what is thisss! Ohok! Feels so gooood! Oguk! Ngook!"
I toyed with Brinda's pussy for a rough three minutes, sampled the flavor, then cut her loose into the woods.
"Ahe, ahehehet......"
Shiiit—
Brinda gushed pleasure fluid from her pussy and pissed herself. Pussy wrecked in just three minutes flat—but no need to kill her. She'd be useful long-term.
Even a used-up slut hole like hers would turn into a blindly devoted follower once imprinted. No matter how loose she'd been.
She couldn't be a wife, but as an occasional snack? Not bad at all.
I'd already decided on the way down: Top-tier beauties who were pure would get the Yin Gate of Love and Submission and become wives. The rest—subpar looks or impure—would get Lewdness and Worship and join the girlfriend roster.
Anything too far below average? Not even worth imprinting.
Brinda was slutty, sure, but her looks were objectively above average. It just felt that way next to my stunning wives.
I spoke to the mind-broken Brinda.
"Brinda."
"Ahek, hehet...... Yesss......?"
"Go back and file a report. Say a monster attacked. Pick some well-known type and bullshit accordingly. You've got spare clothes in your bag—put 'em on. No need to haul your comrades' bodies; just bury them roughly."
"Yesss......"
"Do good, and I'll reward you like this again someday. Keep that pussy warm till then."
"Yessss...... Th-thank youuu...... Mwah, chu......"
I drew a Digestion Tentacle from my body, gave her lips and tongue a quick taste, then turned and headed back into Christia.
The tentacle subordinates were already kicking off their monster hunts. Linking senses with a few confirmed they were en route to their posts and following orders to a T.
'Might end up wiping monsters out at this rate.'
But their reproduction rate was insane beyond imagination. They kept coming no matter how many you culled, and lore had it certain mana spots spawned them endlessly.
So kill away. It was basically an XP and nutrition duplication event.
Funneling everything to S-6 this time around, but if he evolved? I'd gain a new tentacle type. Win-win for everyone.
"Big bro! You're back?"
"How'd it go?"
I'd wrapped up my errands and returned to Luna's Yawn Rest Stop, where Sera and Seri greeted me with bright smiles.
Despite everything, it was still early afternoon, sun high in the sky.
The captain exam had wrapped quick, talks with the count went smooth as silk, and lodging got squared away in no time.
Spawning the subordinates outside hadn't taken long either—barely late lunch o'clock.
And Brinda? Quick three-minute fuck and done.
I grinned.
"All good. I passed."
"Yay! So you're a captain now, big bro?"
"No way, awesome."
Sera and Seri sparkled with excitement. I rubbed my neck awkwardly.
"Not a full captain—just temp squad leader till the wave."
"Still super cool, big bro."
"That's huge!"
"Wanna see this?"
"Yeah?"
"What is it?"
I showed them the badge from the count's manor: my Golden Dragon Knights insignia. A massive golden dragon mid-roar, flanked by six pairs of wings and six shooting stars.
Sera and Seri cooed like it was theirs, poking and admiring from every angle.
"Whoa. But big bro...... temp captain means you'll be super busy now, right......?"
Sera's face fell mid-gawk at the badge. I chuckled.
"Figured you'd worry about that. But nah. No forced schedules or anything—just shine during the wave."
"For real?"
"Yeah. Count's hooking me up with lodging and training grounds too. So I'll be crashing inside the count's manor from now on."
"Ah......"
"Wait, inside the count's manor......?"
Sera and Seri looked floored in an instant.
My words hit like thunder—their happy fiddling with the badge froze on the spot.
Total puppy-dog sad faces.
Dripping wet in the rain.
All as expected, so I just shrugged.
"Which is why you two are coming with."
"Huh?"
"What?"
"Told the count to look after you. He already knew who you were—Lilac Village survivors. Asked for help with your lodging and jobs, and he greenlit it no problem. We'll share quarters in the manor, and there's tons of shops inside. You mentioned wanting to run a business? Set up there."
"F-for real?"
"Big brooo......"
Their droopy puppy faces lit right back up.
Cheeks flushed with emotion, like I'd just proposed.
"Got time today, so let's tour the city. See as much as you can before we move in."
"Hehe, sounds great!"
"Yeah!"
"You eat lunch?"
"Not yet."
"Lunch first, then."
I led them around, picking a spot with killer-looking food.
They insisted on paying when I offered, but once I mentioned my monster wave signup bonus—350 million jeny—their jaws hit the floor.
"Big bro's loaded......"
"350 million jeny...... how many meals is that......?"
We were happily scanning the menu when—
Beep—
A weird buzz and chime echoed from my Storage Tentacle. Excused myself to the bathroom—yep, my Cloud and Droplet: Cloud was ringing.
The Cloud could log incoming calls from any registered Droplet. When I handed them out to my wives, I'd pre-registered everything.
[Bianca Oliviet]
But this wasn't from a dungeon wife. It was Bianca.
Bianca Oliviet.
The woman who'd bitched me out when I snatched her quest to level up her adventurer rank.
Way too arrogant— I'd spanked that fat ass raw and fucked her senseless. Plump, juicy pig of a pussy, all thick belly, hips, and thighs.
I'd booked her a room at Luna's and left her there. Guess she finally woke up.
I infused mana into the Cloud and Droplet and picked up.
