Chapter Title: King God Emperor Kim Sanghyeok

"Stella?"

While facing down a blizzard on the snowfield and yelling out a Gum-Gum Barrage, I run into my blonde little sister.

"Ah, Oppa!"

"Whoa, whoa. Don't come any closer. You with the Empire forces?"

"I'm on Oppa's side!"

"Oh ho. Pulling out the honey trap, are we?"

At the mention of a honey trap, Stella bursts into cheerful laughter, hands raised in a mock surrender.

"I'm unaffiliated! Didn't you see me taking down Empire soldiers?"

"True Queen. What do we do?"

Sol propped her chin on her hand with a hum.

"If you don't let me in, I'm gonna throw a fit, Isolde."

Whoa. This ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠girl's trying to turn into that electric mouse Pokémon, Pikachu?

She doesn't have Serena's classy way of playing the game, but how could a little sister who insists on being on Oppa's side no matter what not be adorable?

I think both of them are just too lovable.

Serena, who's in a different faction but whose sibling bond runs deeper.

And Stella, who just flat-out declares she's on my side.

Their ways of showing love and their personalities are total opposites, but I like them both anyway.

"Stella. At least pretend a little! You can't just whine until we let you in?"

Isolde said.

"When an A-rank mage is offering, you just take it."

...I get why Stella doesn't have many friends.

Sol looked like she understood.

Thanks, Sol.

"...By the authority of the True Queen, I accept you into the rebel forces."

Whoosh!

Stella immediately threw herself into my arms.

With the snowfield background being dismantled, the surviving Empire soldiers didn't show any hostility.

Cybele was the same.

"Not finishing them off?"

"Me?"

In response to the question from this bespectacled underclassman I'd never met before, I stroked Stella's head as I replied.

"It's more fun if we all do it together. Fighting while the dungeon's collapsing is just too exhausting."

It wasn't as urgent as before, either.

Hilla thwacked me hard on the back.

"The front's fine, but the back's a bit much. 'Exhausting' sounds so beta-male. Thud-thud, senpai."

"Beta-male...?"

This underclassman's got no filter at all.

I thought she was a close same-sex friend when she smacked me like that...

"Anyway... thank you."

Cybele bowed her head to me.

"What? I didn't even attack."

"I've known from the start you're not the type. Nothing surprising there."

"Heh. Feels nice to be praised."

The nuance felt like Hilla was calling me simple, though.

Anyway, the surviving academy students moved to a neutral zone before heading to the next stage.

Another 15 hours, huh.

We dived in Wednesday morning, and now it's Thursday afternoon...

Final round starts Friday morning.

Just like Yuuna said, it's taking days. And I have a feeling I'll meet Yuuna in the final round.

'Where's my dungeon wife?'

Tsk.

I got Hena back, but splitting from Yuuna stings.

If we were a normal couple, we could just text, but here only Isolde—who's enhanced her phone with monster ore—can use hers.

"Shall we look for a hospital first?"

"Who's hurt?"

Stella pokes her head ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠out from my side.

"Sarika a bit. Can't walk well, so hop on."

I offered my back, and Sarika hesitated.

"S-Senpai... I'm fine."

"Get on quick. She took hits meant for me."

"..."

When I said she took hits for me, even Stella urged her on.

"Th-Then, excuse me."

I hoisted Sarika up effortlessly.

Sarika's soft chest and warm body heat seep through to my back...

...Carrying a girl in a skirt feels pretty erotic. Is my brain rotten?

No.

It's because we were just talking creampies.

My dick's perking up like, 'Now's the time? Bro?' So I distract myself.

"Sanghyeok. There's what looks like a hospital over there."

"For real."

It had that familiar neighborhood clinic vibe.

Door open? At the entrance, there's some card reader terminal by the door.

"What's this?"

Hena tilts her head.

No idea...

"Seems like every building has one."

If it's a rest area for us, shouldn't they be open?

As I pondered options...

"Stella. Try tapping your student ID."

"Huh? Okay."

Only thing we all carry like a card.

Even use it for lunch payments—looks just like a debit card.

Beep.

As expected, the reader scanned Stella's card.

"Un-Untouchable... what?!"

Isolde and Sarika burst out laughing.

Ah... yeah. Makes sense for the system...

Sarika's laughing so hard on my back she's bouncing like crazy.

"Damn it!! Discriminating by points? Hey! I'll give you coins. Open with coins!"

AI's too smart...

Zap zap zap!!

Stella immediately zapped the door. Figured she could bust in.

But...

Stella's attack spell just dissipated into thin air.

...A rundown clinic door blocking Stella's magic...

If it's a set built by an outer god, that tracks.

Humiliated, Stella trudged back to me dejectedly.

"Oppa. They're bullying me..."

"It's fine. We've got Pt monster Kim Sanghyeok here. I'll try last. Everyone else give it a shot."

Curious how many points to unlock the hospital.

Hena goes first, taps her ID smoothly.

Hena's at 33 points. Not enough to unlock hospital functions.

She slinks back, bummed.

"Not enough..."

Next, True Queen Sol.

"Regular citizens can't even use the hospital?"

"Using the hospital and unlocking it seem separate, Senpai."

"I see."

Someone unlocks it, then anyone can use it?

"I'm around Sol's level, so you're up, Senpai."

"Got it."

As I tapped my student ID, a weird tension rippled through the girls.

Beep.

...

"King God Emperor" isn't too brain-melting? En-chan...?
