162. The adult version is DLC.
When I opened my eyes, there was an unknown girl lying in the bed.
A young girl with short white hair. And not even wearing a single thread of clothing.
What was the most appropriate action I could take in this situation?
"...Agape, please."
What else could it be? Getting her dressed first, of course.
However, since the only thing I had on hand was an adult-sized patient gown, I had no choice but to borrow Agape's power.
'Honestly, what am I even doing right now?'
Agape was born to be a weapon and an instrument.
But it was ironic that what I was actually having it do was turn into clothes.
Still, there was no helping it. As long as there was no substitute, I had to use everything I could.
"I'll have to sharpen your blade later or something."
As I gently rubbed Agape and commanded it to change into clothes, Agape trembled and transformed into a white dress.
'You're just going to have to bear with it for a bit.'
How absurd must it be for the kid to visibly tremble like that?
I handed Agape to Mai and asked her to dress the white-haired young girl for me.
"....Cooo..."
"She's asleep again."
When I lifted her up to put the clothes on, she seemed to wake up a little, but once she was fully dressed, she was about to lie right back down and sleep.
─Buuuuuzzzz....
"...You're working hard."
Agape quivered faintly, crushed under the young girl's body.
If it hated it so much that it was trembling like that, why did it shrink its size to perfectly fit the young girl's body as if it wanted to get out of there faster?
─Buuuzzz...
"...Hey?"
That.
I wanted to believe it wasn't true, but.
Just in case, really just in case I asked...
"Are you... enjoying this right now...?"
─Buuuzzz...♡
Ah, fuck.
Its hem fluttered gently, and it even softly pulled the blanket over to cover the young girl's body.
It seemed to be quite pleased, and watching it only gave me goosebumps.
'So even the one I thought was normal turned out to be a pedo child-lover bastard...'
Worried that even Squite might be doing the same, I took out Squite and held it in my hand, and it trembled furiously, denying it.
─Buuuuuuzzzz....!!
"........Hmm."
There was this saying.
Strong denial is strong affirmation, or something like that.
I commanded the Squite in my hand to transform into a 'pillow.'
─........
Is that for real,?
Squite's quiet vibration.
I answered back to Squite.
"Don't you know what a pillow fight is?"
A pillow can also be a sufficient weapon.
Squite hesitated for a moment at my words, then slowly transformed into a pillow.
'This is the kid that once became a bed.'
Why couldn't it become a pillow?
I immediately lifted the young girl's head slightly and placed the Squite-ver pillow under her neck.
─Buuuzzz....
"Cooo....."
At first, Squite trembled faintly as if denying it, saying no.
"Mmm.... Mmmm....."
─...........
Soon, when the white-haired young girl showed signs of discomfort, it subtly lowered the pillow's height without making it obvious.
"....Fwah~~~ahm.... Nnnyah...."
─Buuuuzzz....!!
Then, when she buried her face in the pillow looking pleased, Squite trembled visibly enough to be noticed on the surface.
Right.
No further testing was necessary.
"So it's just a gathering of perverted bastards."
Well, there was no way a weapon given by Cronus would be normal.
Even Agape, whom I'd trusted, was like that; there was no way Squite was normal.
─Buzz... Buuuuzzz....!!
─Buuuzzz... Buuzzz...♡
"What are you saying?"
Both Agape and Squite trembled furiously to assert themselves, but I didn't care anymore.
No matter how I looked at it, you guys were perverts.
As I looked at the two weapons with cold eyes, Mai, who was nearby, approached me and said,
"Agape says."
A virgin is a treasure,
and a young girl is a pure, untainted being,
so isn't the combination of a virgin and a young girl an untainted, pure jewel?
...See, it was just a pervert.
"Squite also says."
It's not that it felt affection because she was a young girl,
the one it felt affection for just happened to be a young girl....
...So, Put another way, they're both perverts, right?
"Should I try asking Ur again later..."
The two weapons seemed in dire need of after-sales service.
Given the situation, it would be impossible right now, but they clearly needed maintenance.
"So... what is this kid anyway?"
There's no way she just dropped out of the sky.
[An Oracle has arrived.]
[Main God─Hermes: How do you like the gift I gave you? You like it!]
"........Aha!"
This was a world where things could drop out of the sky, right?
Toward Hermes, who tried to socially assassinate me with an absurdly light tone, I asked with a smile full of poison.
"Do you perhaps hold some deep-seated grudge against me?"
[Main God─Hermes :...Oh? Did I do something wrong?]
Was he asking because he really didn't know?
Or did he know and was acting like that anyway?
I felt several emotions mixing inside my chest and seeping out as a thick irritation.
'First... let's ask what we need to ask.'
I raised my head toward the sky and asked.
"First... Was she sent down by Hermes?"
[Main God─Hermes : Bingo! I said I'd give you a reward before, but a biiiit of work piled up... Still, I didn't just take it and run, right? I did good, yes?]
"You really should have just taken it and run..."
If I'd known the reward was a white-haired young girl, I'd have refunded it right then.
No, anyway, let me ask something.
"It was the same with Mai... Did you perhaps send her down in a 'young state' on purpose?"
[Main God─Hermes : Huh? I made her matching our Hero's tastes, though?]
"........."
[Main God─Hermes :...It's a jooooooke! Life gets tiring if you live too seriously, you know? A person should sometimes be humorous, eh? You need to live cleverly in this shitty world, taking it with a grain of salt!]
So, why do you give me a half-baked thing, that's what I'm saying.
To my question, Hermes barely answered, saying,
[Main God─Hermes : The adult version is DLC. Please purchase separately!]
"Hermes. You are a Main God that should not exist."
I really can't stand this.
*****************
Hermes said that
the white-haired young girl, Rhea, was originally a being created from the 'True Queen of the Night' who held the 'Fragment of the Abyss' in her arms,
and that since sending such a being as-is would obviously have a bad influence on me, her body grew small due to compressing resources to apply various locks and limit her power output.
[Main God─Hermes : So if our Hero tries juuuust a little harder? Then our Rhea will grow up healthy and strong and become a fine bride, I tell you!]
"Not happening."
To release the seals on Rhea, I had to receive missions from Hermes, and he said he'd release the seals one by one whenever I resolved those missions.
Ultimately, to put it simply, it was just DLC going around in circles.
'How can someone be so petty?'
If you're going to give it, just give it; what's with all these restrictions.
No. I even understood applying restrictions.
"But did you really have to send her in the form of a 'Servant Demon'...?"
Even just Mai alone was a headache, and now there's one more?
And her race is a succubus on top of that?
...This was intentional. No matter how I looked at it, it was clearly intentional!
[Main God─Hermes : Teehee♬]
"Fuck."
For the first time in a while, I felt a murderous intent rising.
Hermes then sent me another oracle, saying,
[Main God─Hermes : Since I made her perfectly reflecting our Hero's tastes, she absolutely, unwaveningly won't betray you! And she won't have a bad influence on the Hero either? If the Hero wishes, you can use her however you like, top or bottom! Even if she breaks, she has a self-repair function installed! You'll come to understand why succubi earned the name [SUCK YOU] Bus──Ah, Hero? That's not right. Why are you trying to close the chat win...]
"These guys."
I should have just not listened.
Anyway, just like with Mai, I was told she wouldn't be brainwashed and wouldn't have a particularly bad influence, so as for letting my guard down and accepting Rhea... as if I would.
'Have I only dealt with gods for a day or two?'
First, let's set the alert level to about stage 2.
Actually, there was no such thing as an alert level, but it meant I'd be cautious to roughly that degree.
"Nnnyuuu..."
"....Sssip."
No matter that the opponent was a young girl,
and even if she slept all day long,
and even if she wore a pleasant smile because the sunlight coming through the window was so warm,
'...Just in case.'
I would never, ever, ever let my guard down.
I steeled my heart once more and nodded.
"Uung...?"
".....Eh."
Rhea had suddenly opened her eyes.
Had she woken up because I moved a bit when nodding?
Rhea stared at me blankly and slowly raised her body.
"............."
".............."
A suffocating standoff.
With blank eyes. With two eyes lost in sleep.
"Master...."
Rhea spoke to me.
─Growlll....!
"................"
"....Right."
To be precise, Rhea's stomach spoke to me.
...Was there even any point in being wary of this? She seemed even worse than Mai was.
As a side note,
"Pick anything you want."
"............."
If she was hungry, what could I do?
Since it wasn't like I was going to share my hospital meal, and it wasn't mealtime yet, I went down to the 1st-floor convenience store to just fill our stomachs for now.
"Big Brother. Mai has a request."
".......Alright."
Mai suddenly grabbed my sleeve and tugged lightly.
Judging by the look in her eyes, I thought I knew what she wanted.
"Is 1.5L enough?"
What else would you want besides carrot juice?
At my words, Mai shyly bowed her head and nodded as if embarrassed.
"....Mai might be ovulating today."
"Fuck."
Though the words that actually came out were completely devoid of shame.
"Anyway, you're not picking anything? I thought you said you were hungry."
"............."
Rhea didn't answer.
She just looked at me without a word.
'...This is giving me deja vu.'
Once, Mai had looked at me with exactly these eyes.
Back then, thinking she'd like carrots since she was Pegasus, I bought her carrot juice...
"A succubus... Hmm..."
...Seme... no, that was going too far.
I roughly grabbed something white, creamy, and rich—'milk'—and held it out to Rhea.
".........."
"...There."
She looked at the milk carton blankly.
She didn't seem to know how to drink it, so I opened it with my hands and even stuck a straw in for her.
"You see this straw? Try sucking on this."
".....Jjooooorok.... Jjooook.... Jjjeok──!!"
Rhea carefully sucked the straw, then soon opened her eyes wide, probably because the milk had flowed into her mouth.
"Jjooooorok.... Jjoooooorok....."
"She eats well."
The sight of her tightly holding the milk carton with both hands and sucking the straw seemed reminiscent of Mai at some point.
"Jjooooorok.... Jjoooooorok....."
Rhea drinking milk.
"Schlrrrrp! Schlrrrrrrrp!!!"
Next to her, Mai was inhaling her carrot juice.
'...It's strangely similar.'
The atmosphere, or something. The feeling.
Their hair colors were different, their body types were different, but the two of them, no, the two pets strangely gave off a sisterly vibe.
