[Sexy Bad Nun Reika #1]
Alright, let’s get moving.
"Lumika. Keep an eye on the place."
"You're leaving already? You just recovered, and everyone else is..."
"It’s unavoidable for our safety. You’re the only one I can trust right now, Lumika. Please, watch the house."
I said that while grabbing her shoulders, and—
"Ah!"
Lumika’s face turned bright red as she hung her head.
"O-okay. I got it."
"Hehehe, thanks."
"It’s not like I’m doing this because I want to... just go."
Good.
"Alright, Imp-sung! Gyu-il! Grab your gear! Let’s get to work!"
"Keu-reuk!"
"Gyu-sat!"
With their energetic replies, Imp-sung and Gyu-il began quickly commanding their subordinates. The Imps and Kobolds immediately finished arming themselves and lined up in front of me.
"Good."
Everyone was holding spears.
Of course, these guys’ training level was significantly lower than the Goblins. But that’s fine. With this much volume, it’s not a problem.
I’ve already gained plenty of real-world combat experience. I have a rough outline of how to fight more effectively now. If I’m the one commanding, there won’t be any issues.
"From now on, we’re going to recover the loot and the corpses. You understand?"
"Keu-reuk!"
"Gyu-sat!"
There were five human corpses in total.
That meant there were five people’s worth of loot. Not just their weapons, but the clothes they were wearing, and even the backpacks they brought with them. It all belonged to me now.
Every single one of them was an item of Over-Technology. From their clothes to various tools—they’d be incredibly useful. It was certain that the dungeon’s tech level would rise.
"March out!"
And so, we headed out to collect the corpses and the loot.
"Oh!"
The corpses were hidden perfectly.
Not even a single bug had crawled near them, all thanks to Sharan’s plant magic. She said the flowers blooming here were insect-repelling plants, right?
"Alright. We’ve confirmed this spot. Let’s go grab the ones furthest away first."
"Keu-reuk!"
Under my command, the Imps and Kobolds marched in an orderly fashion. It felt like we were on a picnic. In reality, we were just going to scavenge human corpses.
Looking at it this way, my senses and common sense had changed quite a bit.
I was reincarnated as a demon, but I used to be human. I was just an ordinary Korean living on Earth. To think that I could commit indiscriminate serial murders like this and feel absolutely nothing.
Species really is a funny thing.
"..."
We found the furthest corpse, and from there, we began the cleanup work.
"Gyu-il, get ready to move the bodies. Imp-sung, if you see anything strange lying around, pick it all up."
"Gyu-sat-sat."
We had to find and secure any belongings the adventurers might have dropped. If their belongings were left behind, they’d become evidence of a murder case. I didn’t want other adventurers finding such things and letting their imaginations run wild.
I had to erase the traces that a person had been murdered.
If no evidence was left behind, it was just a simple disappearance. I didn’t have expert knowledge on crime, but I knew the difference between finding a missing person’s belongings and not finding them.
I searched the area with the Imps, and I opened the adventurer’s backpack I’d picked up on the way.
"Whoa!"
An exclamation burst out the moment I opened it!
"My god! What is all this!"
There was a small pot, some kind of rope, belts, pouches, containers, canteens, and... books? There were daggers, an hourglass, and a compass, too! The backpack was literally stuffed with all sorts of tools, like a military rucksack.
There was even food and currency. Was this the currency of the humans here? It felt like foreign coins. Fascinating. I’d hold onto them for now.
"Men's underwear, holy shit."
Wait, there was underwear and socks in here too.
I could probably wash and use the socks, but the underwear was a bit much. I’d just shove those in the storage somewhere.
"This is a total jackpot."
Of course, these weren’t the only items I’d acquired. There were the clothes the corpses were wearing, the items in their pockets, and even their steel weapons. It was perfect. I’d only killed a few humans, and I’d become rich in an instant.
"Gyu-sat!"
"Keu-reuk!"
Soon, Gyu-il and Imp-sung reported that their mission was complete.
"Alright, let’s pack up the bodies and the gear and head back!"
We retraced our steps, gathering every single corpse and piece of loot, and returned having completed our objective before the sun went down.
"Master!"
When I returned, Sharan greeted me.
"Oh, hey. Sharan. Did you sleep well?"
"Sharan slept well. Are you okay, Master?"
"I’m fine. More importantly, how are you feeling?"
"It doesn’t hurt as much as yesterday."
"That’s good."
It looked like she’d recovered a bit while sleeping. If I started providing her with white stuff starting today, she’d definitely be better by tomorrow.
"Imp-sung. Gyu-il. Sort out what we brought back."
I immediately spread out the human cloak I’d taken from the backpack. At the same time, Imp-sung and Gyu-il stripped the corpses and laid out the items they’d gathered on the cloak as if they were on display.
"Wow, Demon King. You brought back a lot, huh? Human stuff."
"Yeah. It’ll all be useful. Not bad, right?"
"Looks good. It’s definitely human goods."
But seriously, there was so much stuff.
"Are these guys employees at a moving company?"
They had so many tools. From a modern perspective, it looked like a collection of junk bought secondhand from a hardware store going out of business, but from my perspective, living like a wild man in a cave, it was a treasure trove. A literal treasure trove.
Hammers, hand axes... there was just so much.
Why did they carry all their household goods around with them? Did they not have homes? Ah. That could be it. They might not have homes, so they carried all their belongings with them.
"Master. What should we do with the corpses?"
"Hold on. Let me see."
The corpses of the adventurers who met a miserable end. The five of them were lying side by side.
There was only one thing to do.
"Mana Extraction."
I already knew that extraction worked on humans. Without hesitation, I channeled my mana and plunged my hand into the adventurer’s chest.
—Crunch!
The moment I pulled out the heart with supernatural force, the adventurer’s corpse melted into black sludge, and the heart in my hand transformed into a Mana Stone.
"A Mana Stone."
I planned to collect these human mana stones for now.
It wasn’t for anything else; they were mana stones extracted from human corpses. They might become black magic materials... I wanted to extract all the other corpses as well, but I had a lot of use for mana today. I’d store the remaining corpses for now.
After finishing that, I entered the Goblin barracks.
"Buril."
"Keu-reuk, keu-reuk."
Buril was currently taking care of the Goblins in a vegetative state, feeding them water and looking after them.
Of course, his mood was at rock bottom.
How could he have any energy when his subordinates were like this? A whopping six of them had ended up in this state. The three without major external injuries would likely wake up soon, but I was really worried about the other three who had been slashed.
"Buril. Hang in there. I’ll make sure to save these guys."
"Keu-ru-rung."
When I patted his head, Buril purred, making a keu-ru-rung sound.
"Just lie down and rest today. I won’t make you do anything. Come get some food later."
"Keu-reuk."
"You did really well fighting the humans."
"Keu-rung!"
That’s my right-hand man for you.
After holding the hands of each of the Goblins in a vegetative state, I stepped out of the barracks.
"Master."
"Oh, Sharan. Get some rest. I’m going to interrogate that nun, so go eat with the others when it’s time."
"Sharan wants to work too."
"No. You’re hurt today. Let’s just rest."
"Shaa..."
I immediately picked Sharan up in a princess carry and sent her to the main room. Lumika was resting in the main room, looking tired.
"Master. You have to give that female a taste of her own medicine. Our Goblins got hurt."
"That’s right. Coming back with so many injuries... I can’t forgive her."
Lumika expressed her agreement with Sharan’s words.
"Should we just eat her up?"
Going beyond just agreeing, Lumika even mimicked eating her. That was a bit of a creepy thing to say. When you get down to it, she’s a water ghost who drinks human blood. But I didn’t feel any discomfort at that thought.
"Hehehe, that’s not bad either. But not right now. I have a lot of questions for the nun. Mostly about the human world."
"I suppose so."
I couldn’t just eat her yet.
"But Master. That female is strong."
"She is strong."
She was truly strong.
Her combat power was immense.
She was a woman who had endured the combined attacks of me, Sharan, and the Goblin platoon all by herself.
She’s dangerous.
"Since she’s strong, it’s good to break her and make her your subordinate, Master."
"Make her a subordinate? After she did that to our Goblins?"
"That’s why you make her serve you, Master. Since she hurt the Goblins, she has to work that much harder."
"Ho-ho."
Make her serve as much as she hurt the Goblins, huh?
I like it.
"But 'breaking' her..."
Actually, this is an ideal situation. Break that strong nun and use her as a subordinate? Then I’d have nothing to fear.
But the problem is—
"Will that nun actually break?"
A nun who believes in God.
And she’s currently extremely hostile toward me. She’s even swearing at me, ready to face death. Breaking a woman like that and making her my subordinate seems incredibly difficult.
"You broke the big-titted female too, Master. You can do anything, Master."
"Hehehe, that’s true."
"There’s nothing you can’t do, Master."
—Pat.
As Sharan said that, she raised her fist and smiled. What a warm encouragement.
"Thanks."
Yeah.
"Demon Domination."
I don’t know if that will work on a human, but—
It’s worth testing. No. I have to break the nun. As it stands, even if I interrogate her, she’s highly likely to keep her mouth shut or feed me false information.
If I break her completely and make her my subordinate, she’ll cooperate with me fully.
Actually, I’m not a professional torturer. I was a bit at a loss as to how to extract information from a human. What if I just beat her up in the name of torture and she dies? That would be a complete failure.
"Alright."
Interrogation first.
"It’s getting late, so everyone go eat and get some rest. I’m going to interrogate the nun and then get some sleep."
"Yes, Master."
"Demon King. Don’t push yourself too hard."
"I won’t."
I said that and left the main room.
"Torture, huh."
I immediately entered the room where the nun was being held.
"...You’re here again?"
