◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Destroying dungeons wasn’t an issue of being pressed for time.
In the end, the final boss destroying the world was a story from 1000 years in the future.
If it were up to me, I wanted to leisurely level up for about 10 years and then sweep through the dungeons.
‘If only the heroines didn’t exist…’
The problem was our three main heroines.
It had become certain that Jill and Yerina had regained their memories, and I wasn’t sure about Yulia yet…
But let’s just say it was the trio for now.
Anyway, the issue was that these three were desperate to catch and torture me.
First, let’s look at Jill.
It seemed clear that she had inherited the memories of the 1st round, and the situation when we parted was…
‘Answer me! What did you do all night with that elf?!’
‘Would you believe me if I told you? You wouldn’t.’
‘I want to believe…! I’m asking you to tell me so I can believe…! Give me an explanation that makes sense! Not the nonsense about sitting face to face with that elf bitch and chatting all day!’
‘…’
Ugh.
I thought I had forgotten since it had been 12 years.
But the moment I tried to recall, it unfolded vividly as if playing a video.
‘I left Jill like that.’
I left her in that state and set out for Palana.
Without even reconciling.
At that time, I thought I could go back later when things had cooled down and patch things up.
But when I returned to the south, Jill had issued an arrest warrant for me.
As the dragnet tightened, I fled to St. Petenburg and saw Yulia’s ending.
In the 1st round, I had become a traitor who knew all of the saintess’s weaknesses and secrets and ran away.
That’s probably why the arrest warrant was issued.
When caught by Jill, who hated traitors the most.
I’ll leave it to your imagination what would happen to me then.
‘Yerina is a bit better, at least…’
In Yerina’s case, it was the 12th round.
Since it was the last round, I remembered it clearly.
The 12th round was flawless, without a single flaw.
From Yerina’s perspective, I must have been a diligent financial investor, businessman, and mercenary.
I never got caught cheating and successfully coaxed Yerina into promising to marry me.
Then wasn’t it okay to meet Yerina?
No.
If you had been tormented by Yerina throughout the 12 rounds, you wouldn’t say that.
Why do you think I pretended to have three occupations?
Because Yerina tried to monitor all my free time when I wasn’t working.
No, she tried to keep me within her sight as much as possible even during work hours.
So if I get caught by Yerina, I can forget about conquering the final boss.
Because Yerina would never send me to a place where there was a risk of me dying.
She didn’t even allow me to work as a mercenary until I defeated her.
‘Yulia is… Aish. My head hurts.’
I didn’t even know if Yulia’s memories had returned yet.
And I didn’t know which round’s memories would return, but…
Whichever round it was, it would be a headache.
Because I never had a good ending with Yulia.
Ah, I don’t mean I never got Yulia’s 100% conquest ending.
Rather, more than half of the 12 rounds were Yulia endings.
The problem was that Yulia’s conquest rate rose too easily.
Really, it rose no matter what I did.
It rose just from pretending to know her.
It rose just from greeting her.
It rose even if I ignored her and did my own thing.
But the reason it rose wasn’t a pure one.
It rose because she was scheming all sorts of tricks to be the only one left by my side.
She internally raised her own conquest rate, imagining a happy(?) future where everyone else was cut off and only the two of us remained.
So if Yulia’s memories returned, she would try to grab and shake me without breaking that habit…
Just imagining it made me tired.
At least Yerina’s restraints were visible to my eyes.
Yulia quietly manipulated me in places my eyes couldn’t reach.
I thought I was moving of my own will, but when I came to my senses, there were many cases where I had been played according to Yulia’s wishes.
‘Wow. Seeing them all together like this, they all seem crazy.’
Well…
If I only list the flaws, they all look like bitches.
But they were kind, charming, and pretty girls.
At one point, I had even been emotionally captivated by all three of them.
It was just that they would be a big obstacle to my current plan of defeating the final boss.
I didn’t have any particular ill intentions.
That’s why I had to defeat the final boss before these three found me and tried to torture me.
There wasn’t much time.
It just so happened that all three of them held quite a lot of power in their respective positions.
They were probably using all sorts of methods I couldn’t even imagine to try to find me.
But if I recklessly broke through all the dungeons and challenged the final boss early?
I would get slaughtered, nine times out of ten.
Because my specs would be far from enough.
Even the game developers said it was a truly absurd difficulty level, so that said it all.
Even if I gathered all the miracles, items, and traits, it would be tough.
Skipping all of that and going to defeat the final boss was nonsense.
‘I need to strike a good balance between speed and leveling up.’
In other words, I needed to collect everything I could while moving as fast as possible.
In short, I had to do a speedrun.
I had to succeed in one try on my first attempt at challenging the final boss.
Until now, I thought I had been quite diligent in conquering dungeons.
Although I lost some time in Cologne and Basel.
Gaining a good tool like Cornelia and a time-buying breakwater like Alicia was a long-term benefit.
So now it was time to use the time I had earned.
It meant it was time to focus on leveling up in one place.
That’s why I was hurrying on my way even today, riding an early morning cargo wagon…
“Hey.”
“…”
Why were there rabbit ears visible here?
Among the cargo boxes covered with a tarp.
I could see fur clearly glowing white in the moonlight, sticking out through a gap in the tarp.
But at my words, it flinched in surprise and quickly retreated back inside.
“I saw everything, you brat.”
“Eek!”
When I reached my hand inside, I grabbed something and a scream rang out.
And when I pulled it out like that, as expected.
Alicia, with teary eyes, came up with both ears grabbed by my hand.
I was sure I had parted ways with this cute rabbit in Basel.
Why was she stuffed inside this wagon?
“Explain.”
“W-well… Actually, I was planning to ride this wagon from the beginning too? What do I have to explain?”
“Ha. Looks like you want to be thrown out.”
“Aaaaah! Ah, I got it! I’ll tell you!”
When I tried to drag her by the ears to the back of the wagon, only then did I hear the words I wanted to hear.
Would a noble lady like Alicia roughly stuff herself into a cargo wagon without seats and travel all night?
It made no sense.
At least make a more convincing excuse.
“Actually, I felt uneasy about letting you go like this…”
“So what? Be specific.”
“Aah! Ears! Please stop grabbing my ears! I-I’m going to wet myself again…”
“Ah.”
Shhhh.
Oh no.
She already wet herself.
“Hic… Sob… Twice… It happened twice…”
I gained knowledge.
Rabbit demihumans’ ears were probably erogenous zones.
Even with a libido suppressor on, if pressed hard, they would climax.
No, maybe it was just Alicia…
“It would be good to change out of your wet clothes.”
“How can you tell me to undress in front of you?!”
“Why are you getting mad at me? You’re the one who wet yourself.”
“A-at least have the decency to turn around! You should show some manners!”
“Asking for manners from someone you treated like a thug from the first meeting?”
“Ugh…!”
She glared at me, looking angry, but what could she do?
Would the prideful Alicia, famous for her strong self-esteem, really be able to change clothes right in front of my eyes?
No. I guarantee she absolutely can’t do that.
She would have to call the coachman, stop the wagon for a bit, and get off.
Now it was really time to say goodbye.
“This beast…”
But Alicia brought her hand under her soaked skirt.
Oh? This wasn’t in my expectations.
Alicia glared fiercely at me, who was watching with my arms crossed, and lifted her skirt to a dangerous level.
Then, her pink underwear gradually came down between her legs.
The soaked underwear was taken off and set aside.
“Really… I didn’t expect it to be this bad…”
And she inserted a handkerchief, carefully adjusting it so I couldn’t see the inside, and wiped her crotch.
Of course, even then, I didn’t avert my gaze at all.
Alicia glared at me with teary eyes.
Next, she put on a spare pair of panties.
When she took off her wet dress with a plop, the smooth body lines of the rabbit demihuman glowing in the moonlight were revealed.
The top underwear was pink, and the bottom was white, so they didn’t match.
“Hng!”
And then, in a flash.
She put on a pink dress pulled out from her bag, and the outfit change was complete.
It felt like I had just watched a speed dressing challenge.
“Should I lend you a new handkerchief? It seems like you still have some on your hands.”
“No need…! I’ll gratefully borrow it…”
Alicia, who was about to get angry, suddenly became polite and took the handkerchief from me.
And then she carefully wiped her hands that had touched her wet clothes.
“Give it back.”
“I’ll wash it and give it back?!”
“Give it to me now.”
“No…!”
I wouldn’t give her a single excuse to stick around.
It would be troublesome if she chased after me later, saying she would return the handkerchief.
I tried to get back what I could, when I could.
“Pervert…”
Plop.
The slightly warm handkerchief was placed in my hand.
Along with Alicia’s contemptuous gaze.
“Now, explain. Why are you here?”
“That’s…”
“Answer honestly and specifically. If I don’t like it, I’ll throw you out of the wagon.”
“Ah, I got it! I’ll tell you if you say so. I just thought I needed to know more about what kind of person you are. I still don’t understand at all why Sister Yerina dated you…”
“Yeah? You can’t understand everything in the world. Now, if you get off the wagon…”
“A-a-and! I thought I could teach you magic!”
“Magic?”
My hand that was about to grab Alicia’s ears and use force stopped.
Alicia might seem incompetent, unable to handle even street thugs without her fan.
But Alicia was still an elite mage, according to the setting.
She was even from the Magic Tower, which was said to gather only the best magic scholars.
Learning magic from Alicia would definitely be valuable.
It was enough as a price for letting her accompany me, in my judgment.
“Alright. I’ll learn magic from you. And you’ll stalk me and dig up personal information. That’s the deal?”
“Even when you speak, you have to put it that way… Well, yes. We’ve agreed.”
“Ah, but let’s not shake hands. You still smell.”
“What?!”
Swish.
I naturally reached out my hand to shake, but smelling something sour, I stepped back.
Alicia’s face was instantly dyed with shame.
“I’m going to sleep now. Don’t come close to me since you smell.”
“I won’t!”
“Undecided. Can you please keep an eye on her all night in case she comes close to me?”
“…Okay.”
Suddenly.
One of the cargo boxes bulged up and the tarp rose, and Undecided appeared, pulling back the tarp.
Undecided didn’t sleep, so she would keep a good watch to make sure Alicia didn’t steal anything while I was sleeping.
“Hey!!!”
“Be quiet. Let’s sleep.”
It was going to be a long journey.
I wanted to sleep quickly, but our noble lady seemed to still have plenty of energy.
