Charming Flattery ［Envy］

「Err, the requirement is to『reach the second stratum of the dungeon』, was it?」

「For the dungeon practical exam, that seems to be case.」

The exam subject announced during the one preparatory week before the midterm exam was to pass through the first stratum of the dungeon.

The first year students had only just begun their combat training, but the map for the charted area of the first stratum was available to the public free of charge.

As long as you could tell your position on the map, even if you were running away from the goblin from place to place, it was not impossible to eventually arrive at the promised realm gate.

「So that means we’ve all cleared it, right?」

「I suppose that’d be the case.」

Smiling wryly, he nodded at the words of Honami, his classmate from the first year Tiger group as well as the person he had formed a party with.

Their party was on the side of those who were smoothly conquering the dungeon practice, so they thought.

Without any particular reason, it was a party that was just somehow or other formed between classmates who sat close to each other.

There was no reason, but I guess there was a trigger for it huh, Tatsuya thought back.

It was when one of his female classmates – who was more of a beauty than a cutie, and whose wanton and slovenly gestures had strangely caught his attention – formed a party all over with the boys, moving from one to another.

Tatsuya had only heard of it through rumor, but it seems that in the dungeon was getting laid all over, changing from one boy to another.

The boys all scrambled trying to get her to join their respective parties, while the other girls drew a line with cold gaze.

Nowadays she showed an ice-like cold attitude that made both boys and girls unable to get close to her, but Tatsuya believed that it was her fault that the relationship between boys and girls in this class remained subtly bad.

He had probably chosen the right choice for ignoring that fuss from the beginning and forming a party with other girls.

Although there was by no means any particular progress with the female party members, as expected it was still rewarding to challenge the dungeon with cute classmates.

「What were you talking about?」

One of the female party members, who gave off the impression of being somewhat gentle and young, joined in.

「Good work, Yuka-chin.」

Yuka, who gave a small strained laugh at Honami’s words, clasped her hands in front of her skirt.

Boasting soft and fluffy hair, gentle face, as well as snugly and assertive chest bulge despite her petite build, she was the girl Tatsuya had taken interest in the most.

「We’re talking about the midterm exam. There won’t seem to be any problem with the dungeon practice, but I’m nervous about the written test.」

「Hmm. You don’t need to worry about that one, you know. It’s said that no matter how bad your grades are, there’s no such a thing as supplementary lesson or flunking it.」

「Hee, you sure know a lot about it. Yuka-chan.」

「Y, yeah. I heard it from my Senpai.」

Yuka, scratching her cheek at Tatsuya’s admiration, floated a vague smile.

「Come to think of it, Yuka-chin, wasn’t Rirucchi together with you?」

「Riru-chan is in the middle of a supplementary lesson… I suppose.」

Among the various elective classes, there was a need to choose a combat lecture that suited your style.

In the case of girls, there were many cases of them choosing Goshin-jutsu (self-defense technique) or basic training.

What Tatsuya, who had acquired the class of『Lancer』, was choosing was『Basic Spearmanship』.

「Looks like Riru-chan is also working hard, huh. I guess I can’t lose, too.」

「You’re right. But if it’s you, I’m sure you’ll be fine, Tatsuya.」

Honami’s words were said without any guarantee whatsoever, but Tatsuya averted his gaze as if embarrassed.

◇ ◇ ◇

The large underground cavern where Rashomon was installed boasted a space larger than that of a gymnasium.

The mercury lamps hanging from the dome-shaped canopy remained shining regardless of day and night.

It was the most important facility as well as the raison d’etre of the academy.

The entrance area before descending into the underground cavern turned into a gathering place such as for party formation for diving into the dungeon.

Changing rooms and locker rooms were also arranged above ground.

The students who were gathering at the underground cavern area without heading to the transfer point were low in number.

They were either parties waiting for their member who had suddenly had the urge to go to the restroom, boss hunting parties logging in and out of the boss emergence point marked by someone of high class『Officer』 branching, or groups observing such party bunches.

「Sorry sorry, sorry to keep you waiting~.」

「Rirucchi. W’come~.」

Riru – who was greeted by Honami, who raised one hand – was the last party member.

Returning from the restroom, Riru was dressed tightly in her tactical vest with her short sword fixed behind her waist.

Her usual curly semi-long hair was crudely tied up at the back of her head.

The academy had no rules pertaining to hairstyles or hair dyeing, so girls were free to fully enjoy dressing themselves up.

However, in the case of long hair, they would at least tie it up with a hair band during dungeon battles and training, however crude it was.

Boasting long straight hair, Yuka braided the ends of her hair, while Honami tied it up in a bun.

「You should have done it beforehand.」

「Shut it. Women take a long time to get ready, you know.」

Riru glared at Shinnosuke, who put his hand on his hips and scratched his head.

「You’re right. It would be a disaster if you wet yourself in the dungeon like you did the other day, though.」

「I didn’t wet myself or anything, geez, you really have no delicacy whatsoever.」

「Now now, Riru-chan.」

Even as she was pacified by Yuka, Riru’s nasal breathing remained heavy.

Shinnosuke, receiving a high-speed straight punch at his solar plexus, coughed profusely.

The class that Riru had obtained was『Bandit』, a rare class of the『Thief』 branching.

It boasted a correction that leaned more toward power, despite if being of the『Thief』 branching that excelled in speed.

There was a disparity in physical ability between men and women, but the correction based on class was even greater than that.

「Now then, let’s get going at once, shall we? There’s no one else who forgot something, right?」

「Oh… Ouch, that hurt more than a goblin’s attack.」

Tatsuya, who somehow or other still had the leader position being pushed onto him, smiled bitterly.

He knew that his friend had a thing for party member Riru, but it seemed that by now, he could only interact with her with such a not so honest entanglement method.

「All right, well then, we’ve got test coming up, so let’s earn without pushing ourselves.」

「Yeah.」

At Honami’s tense-free command, Tatsuya, who had been deprived of his stock as the leader, exchanged glances with Shinnosuke and let out a sigh.

Observing while conversing among themselves, the group that had been watching the party headed for Rashomon’s transfer gate at their own pace got up.

◇ ◇ ◇

――『Yomotsu Hirasaka』, a branch realm attached to the labyrinth of Perforation Realm, 『YGGDRASILL』――

――The『second』 stratum, 『charted』 domain――

Violent Attack【Assault】≪ assault ≫

To attack the other party forcefully.

To attack with violent momentum.

To charge at the enemy without warning through combat.

Behind Shinnosuke, who had collapsed without letting out even a sound, stood a boy brandishing a baton-like weapon.

It was soft for something called a blunt weapon, and it raised no striking sound either.

A bag-shaped long and thin tube made of monster hide and filled with iron sand, it was a weapon called『Blackjack』.

Speaking of its treatment as a weapon, it was a dark tool, a weapon designed for assassination rather than frontal assault.

Shinnosuke’s body, which had been eliminated without the other party members noticing, melted into space, disappearing into particles.

The formation for dungeon exploration, which you naturally learned as you advanced in academic year, was something arranged more in preparation for an assault from a hostile party rather than a surprise attack from monsters.

Though, even if they were careful, it was doubtful whether a party that had just accomplished their first class change would be able to stand against those who had attained superior class change.

As they walked down the corridor, what they were watching out for was forward only.

The next one to be targeted by another assailant was Honami.

Having her mouth covered with a hand that came around from behind, she also had a hand wrapped around her body, which reacted with a start, immobilizing her.

Even if she couldn’t let out a voice, the sound of her stumbling footsteps, the rustling of her clothes, and the sound of her moans would turn into『presence』 and leak out.

The one specialized in skills to erase this presence was『Assassin』, a second step class of『Thief』 branching.

It was an active skill called『Concealment (Cover Up)』 that isolated the presence of the person in question along with their target.

It was not suitable for head-on battles, but it could be said to be a strong skill suitable for assassination combat style.

This kind of skill didn’t exist among the combat classes, but there were similar skills among classes that utilized underhand means.

In front of Honami’s eyes, a boy with『Hikikomori (Parasite)』 class, a second step class of『Debauchee (NEET)』 branching, appeared.

In fact, yes, it only looked that way, as he had only been standing there from the beginning.

He had just invited Honami and the boy behind her into the domain he had deployed from the beginning.

The skill of『Hikikomori (Parasite)』, 『Depravity Garden (Utopia)』, was a skill that created a space of your own where you were completely unobserved by the outside world.

「To become all teary-eyed like that, so pitiable.」

Pulling up the hem of her boorish survival vest, he stroked the area around her belly button that had appeared between the belt of the skirt with his palm.

Showing a frightened look, Honami’s eyes rolled back.

The feeling of having the organ that existed in the depth of the stroked skin being played with directly.

「Oh. It’s been considerably developed, huh. What a let-down.」

「Save the playing for later.」

Honami’s hips jumped as she had her lower abdomen gently stroked and rolled around.

She squirted into her panties with such force that the person in question felt like she had incontinence.

「As I though, she has a paper-like resistance level, LOL.」

In the state of having her arms stretched backward from behind, she was penetrated from the front while remaining standing.

At the familiar rape act, her crotch, which was compelled to be in heat, was briskly gobbled up.

Having her chin upturned, Honami’s moans echoed through the corridors, but none of her comrades, who had noticed the fact that their party members hand vanished and were surveying their surroundings, noticed it.

Even as she had her breasts grabbed and fondled with the hand that had been holding her mouth, Honami’s voice did not reach her comrades.
