Chapter 43
Chapter 43
A hidden dungeon of lust beneath the abandoned mansion.
Trapped here alone with Charlotte—who could become a “male-killer” if overwhelmed by desire—
I had no choice but to think carefully.
Ideally, I would explore alone, find the exit, then return.
But Charlotte wasn’t the type to wait.
She would definitely follow.
“We’ll have to go deeper to figure out what kind of dungeon this is.”
“…Yes.”
I couldn’t tell her the truth.
If she became curious—
I’d be the one in danger.
So I resolved to eliminate anything related to lust as much as possible.
“I’ll take the lead.”
“Are you sure?”
“I know a bit about ancient dungeons.”
“Alright. I trust you.”
Good.
If I stayed in front—
I’d trigger the traps instead of her.
Better me than her.
‘If only I could use magic…’
But just like before—
magic didn’t work.
The dungeon blocked it completely.
[How unfortunate~ Looks like you’ll have to rely on me.]
‘You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?’
Prah practically vibrated in excitement.
Unhelpful.
“Still quiet.”
“Which makes it more suspicious.”
Charlotte nodded.
“I wish Julius were here.”
Honestly—
same.
Perfect human shield.
“Something’s ahead.”
A monster.
First one.
Probably weak.
But in a lust dungeon—
nothing is normal.
[It’s coming.]
Slap… slap…
A wet sound.
Then—
a blue slime appeared.
With a red core.
A slime.
But—
not normal.
“Princess, step back.”
“It’s just a slime.”
“This is a dungeon slime.”
Which means—
something weird.
She stepped back.
Good.
Then—
the slime began to change shape.
Stretching—
forming—
a voluptuous female body—
“AH, HELL NO!”
Slash!
I cut it before it finished.
The core split—
the body collapsed.
‘That was close.’
[It just transformed.]
‘If she saw that, I’d be dead.’
Like censoring adult content in front of a child—
that was me now.
“Didn’t seem special.”
“…My mistake.”
“Better safe than sorry.”
She smiled—
patted my shoulder—
and took the lead.
Still hard to believe she’d become… that later.
Then—
Click.
“Princess!”
A trap.
I pushed her away—
as tubes popped out—
releasing pink gas.
I cut them—
blocked them—
but—
I inhaled some.
“Are you okay?! I’ll purify it!”
“No—don’t.”
“It’s poison!”
“Mixed with demonic energy. Divine power will make it worse.”
“…Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
Technically true.
But the real reason—
this wasn’t poison.
It was an aphrodisiac.
“…Damn it.”
My body reacted instantly.
I couldn’t even stand straight.
“Are you alright?”
“Just… mild paralysis.”
Yeah.
“Paralysis.”
Sure.
“Let me take the lead.”
“Are you okay?”
“I’ll manage.”
Better in front—
so she wouldn’t notice.
I walked—
barely holding it together.
Then—
Click.
“Princess, don’t—!”
Too late.
Another trap.
She pushed me aside—
“No!”
Gas released—
gray this time.
She inhaled—
and collapsed.
“Princess!”
I checked—
breathing normal.
Just asleep.
“…Sleep gas.”
Relief.
Huge relief.
“Now what…”
[We wait.]
“Yeah…”
I carried her—
to a safe room.
Carefully laid her down.
Then—
my eyes drifted.
Her chest—
rising slowly—
soft—
“…I’m losing it.”
This poison—
was bad.
Very bad.
I rushed outside.
“Ha… ha…”
[You’re struggling.]
“I’m at my limit.”
[Then I’ll help.]
“…How?”
[Draw me.]
I did.
“…Now what?”
[Use the sheath.]
“…What?”
[It’s tight, but usable.]
“…Are you insane?”
[Consider it my generosity.]
“…Absolutely not.”
No.
Not happening.
