Erotic Trap
Erotic Trap
".....Lunia-ssi, Lunia-ssi!"
"Mmm..."
Someone is shaking me awake.
Is it Reed?
No, Reed is a virgin, so he can't even properly touch a woman's body.
Then the person shaking me awake must be.....
"Lunia-ssi! Ah, you're awake!"
It was Mari, chirping like a chick.
"Mmm, Marii~"
Delighted to see a cute girl first thing in the morning, I didn't even get up, but just grabbed Mari and hugged her tightly.
"Eek, why are you suddenly doing this~!"
Mari ended up falling, and her face nestled right into my chest.
"Hehe."
And the right of close female friends.
I fully enjoyed the skinship.
I subtly lowered the hand holding Mari's back and gently touched her butt without her noticing.
Then I hugged her face tightly so she wouldn't notice.
"Mmmph!"
Just then, I started to feel a gaze from outside the tent.
It was Reed.
He was lying down, peeking up my skirt and Mari's skirt, which were both clearly exposed.
'Pfft...'
Should I give him a little show?
I subtly spread my thighs and slightly lifted my skirt, and a startled Reed quickly raised his head towards my face,
and when our eyes met, Reed hastily turned his body and face away.
And with a slight mouth shape,
'Pervert.'
when I mouthed that,
'Ahaha, he got hard~'
And Reed's slightly bulging pants front was a bonus.
After sniffing the top of Mari's head for a bit, I couldn't resist her struggles and released my arms.
"Eek, Lunia-ssi. You're suddenly doing things you don't usually do....."
Mari tidied her hair and clothes, then looked at me,
".....Huh?"
She suddenly looked surprised at my face, so I was surprised too.
"Huh? Is something on me?"
Could it be that what I did yesterday was caught?
That can't happen. Mari likes Reed, so I absolutely have to set them up.
But if that fact were to be discovered.....
"Lunia-ssi, your face....."
"My face...?"
"How should I put it, it's changed a bit...?"
".....Eh?"
My face changed?
Where, and how?
I suddenly felt uneasy.
I couldn't check without a mirror, and how exactly did it change?
I was a little uneasy, but Mari's next words dispelled that anxiety.
"Hmm... should I say it's become a bit more gentle...?"
".....G-gentle?"
"Should I say your eye shape has softened a bit more....."
So, to summarize Mari's words,
"I think you've become even prettier!"
It seemed there was no need to worry much.
Why did Mari suddenly feel that way?
I couldn't know for sure, but well, if I was already pretty and became even prettier, that's a good thing.
I decided to think of it as a good thing.
##
"Mari! Watch out!"
"Yes!"
She barely dodges a rope that suddenly shot out.
The noose-like rope seemed to be made to bind someone.
"Reed! Cut that down!"
"Hmph!"
-Slash!
And then he cut down something strange that came flying after it.
'Ugh. What was that.'
I saw something I shouldn't have.
Let's erase it from my mind. No, I have to erase it from my memory.
"Phew, Mari, are you hurt anywhere?"
"Ah, uh... fortunately, I don't think so."
"Good, let's keep going."
I'm starting to get tired of this.
I wanted to clear the Dungeon quickly and wash myself with warm water.
It feels like the Dungeon is slowly coming to an end.
Just like on the first day, we avoided and broke traps, moving forward.
After about an hour of advancing like that.
A large chest lay before our eyes.
"Oh, oh? It's over.....!"
Mari's face brightened only then, as soon as she saw the chest.
Reed also relaxed and plopped down onto the floor.
But I didn't let my guard down until the very end.
"Mari! Wait!"
"Y-yes!?"
Mari, walking towards the chest, flinched in surprise at my voice.
She immediately stopped and turned around.
"It could be a Mimic. I'll poke it with my Staff."
Mimic.
A monster that disguises itself as a chest, deceives approaching adventurers, and inflicts harm.
It was a dangerous monster, capable of devouring you if you dealt with it incorrectly.
Given that the Dungeon's name already had suspicious words like "trap," it was a situation where I couldn't help but be suspicious.
So, after having Mari step back for a moment, I tried to very lightly touch the edge of the chest with my Staff.
Mimics usually keep their mouths closed to deceive adventurers, so it's impossible to tell if someone is trying to open the chest or just touching it.
That was also a way to counter Mimics.
There are three ways to deal with a Mimic.
Like the method above, touching it with a long object like a Staff or sword, instead of your hand.
And the second method is to just leave it and go.
Of course, this method was the least used.
Who would be afraid of a mere Mimic when there might be a reward inside the chest that could let you live comfortably for the rest of your life?
Anyway, the third method is to just blow up the entire chest.
This isn't often used either, as the reward inside the chest could be damaged or broken.
We had my Magic Staff and Reed's sword.
So, there was no need to adopt the second or third methods.
I approached right in front of the chest and slowly extended the tip of my Magic Staff.
And the seam between the chest and its lid,
-Tap, tap.
I carefully nudged it.
".........."
Even after waiting a bit, there was no reaction at all.
It seemed it wasn't the Mimic I was worried about.
If so, there was only one thing to do.
Honestly, I was only an adventurer for a month, but wasn't this the kind of situation I had only imagined?
Anyone who likes isekai stories couldn't possibly resist a situation like this.
Even if the contents were a trivial reward, it was my 'first' reward.
So, I grabbed both ends of the chest and slowly lifted it upwards with force.
-Creak.
The rusty hinges shrieked as light entered the chest's interior.
And when I opened the chest all the way,
"Huh?"
"Lunia-ssi? What's wrong?"
".....There's nothing inside.....?"
There was nothing.
So, a Dungeon that has already been cleared doesn't give rewards?
If that were the case, the chest should already be open, so why was it closed like this?
If the adventurers who came before did this and left, I might get a little angry.
Just as I thought that.
-Pshhhhh!
"Hwaat...?!"
Suddenly, suspicious smoke began to spew out from inside the chest.
Naturally, I was startled and stumbled back, but unfortunately, I had already inhaled the unknown smoke.
I hastily covered my nose and mouth with my hand, and holding up the Staff I was carrying, I cast a spell.
-Fwaash!
The magic I used wasn't water magic, but Creation Magic.
Rather than blowing away the chest with water magic, my intention was to mix the smoke spraying into the air with water using Creation Magic, so it would no longer scatter.
-Chwaaak!
The stream of water that flowed out mixed with the smoke and scattered across the floor.
And at the same time, perhaps because water entered the chest from which the smoke was spewing, it stopped emitting and the chest closed.
The source of the problem was resolved.
However, the problem was the process that had already occurred.
I had already inhaled a mouthful of the suspiciously pink-colored smoke.
I let my guard down.
Because it was a Trap-type Dungeon, I naturally thought only monsters like Mimics would appear.
I hadn't even considered the idea of an 'Ero Trap Dungeon' from the notification that appeared in the Status Window afterward.
Still, the fortunate thing might be that it wasn't a deadly poison or something that caused permanent damage.
After all, its name was 'Ero Trap'.
I suspect it's the kind of smoke that forcibly puts the body into heat or paralyzes it, making it unable to move.
"Lu-Lunia-ssiiii!!"
It happened in an instant, so Mari and Reed, who could only watch from behind, rushed over.
Mari quickly grabbed my shoulder and asked,
"Are you okay!?"
If this smoke was poison, what would Mari do clinging to me like this?
Fearing that Mari might also get infected, I kept my hand over my mouth and said,
"Mari, step back."
Mari seemed to understand my intention, and though she flinched, she gently retreated.
But Mari's expression was heavily scrunched, as if she absolutely didn't want to step away.
Only when Mari had retreated to a distance where I felt she was safe, could I finally relax.
"Haa..."
Fortunately, it doesn't seem like my organs are melting.....
Nor do I feel any tingling sensation like a paralyzing effect.
'Haa... no matter how I look at it, it really seems like a lewd trap.....'
This is driving me crazy.
If there was an immediate reaction after inhaling the smoke, it would be one thing, but the lack of immediate symptoms makes me even more anxious.
"Reed."
"Uh, uh."
"Could you go scout if this is the end of the Dungeon?"
".....Alright."
It feels like the very end of the Dungeon, but it might not end like this, you know.
Reed adjusted his gear at my words and walked forward.
"Just scout and come back!"
-Nod.
Surely he wouldn't try to remove a trap by himself like a child and get caught in it, right?
He just needs to see how far it continues. Yeah.
So, with Reed temporarily out scouting, Mari and I decided to sit down and assess the situation for a moment.
When I turned my head to see what Mari was doing,
Mari was busily rummaging through her Subspace Pouch.
