Volume 3 Chapter 5 Part 3
Stone brick stairs and walls. The passageways were straight, the turns perfectly perpendicular. The walls occasionally opened up on either side to reveal spaces resembling rooms.
Since there were any signs of monsters nearby, we were free to walk normally, but the narrow, cramped corridors limited our progress somewhat.
「This area has a lot of orcs.」Deet said. 「Out of all the routes leading to the seventh floor that I know of, this is the safest.」
Huh? Is that contradictory?
「But didn’t you say that orcs were the strongest out of the three races? Wouldn’t it be better to go through areas with lots of goblins instead…?」
「It’s because orcs live together in the smallest numbers. And usually, they only travel in groups of one or two.」
「That makes sense.」
Suddenly, Miri’s ears perked up. 「Nya!?」
「What is it, Miri?」
「There’s a group of ten ahead coming towards us!」
「Huh!? Weren’t orcs supposed to travel in groups of one or two?」
「They’re small in size, so they’re probably goblins! There’s a room over there that we can hide in! Hurry!」
We hastily retraced our steps, scrambling into the room. I turned off my headlight. Likewise, Deet pushed her pendant, a light-exuding artifact, deep into her cleavage, hiding the brightness.
Ohhh!!! In that moment, something became visible. I wish I were that pendant.
The monsters noisily passed by, walking the very path that we’d just been traversing.
As we watched from inside the pitch black room, I noticed that the goblins seemed to be carrying wooden torches.
Since there were rooms similar to ours scattered about, the goblins probably wouldn’t be able to notice us unless they searched our room specifically.
The four of us huddled closer together in the corner, holding our breaths.
Ria held her sword in a fighting stance, standing slightly further away. Meanwhile, I could very distinctly feel Deet and Ria’s chests pressing against me in the darkness.
My brain was in utter chaos, not knowing whether to focus on the goblins or the luscious texture of boobs. As I remained, in a half-daze, the goblins passed by our room, their footsteps echoing in the distance.
As Deet took out her pendant from her cleavage, she turned to Miri.
Naturally, I didn’t miss my chance to catch a glimpse of heaven in the process.
「Whew- Miri, are we good to go now?」
「Yup. We’re good. They’ve gone on ahead.」
Ria’s sword clanged as she sheathed it.
I lamented silently. Though the feeling of Deet and Miri’s breasts pressing against me had been pure bliss, I hadn’t gotten the opportunity to feel Ria’s.
「Good thing they didn’t find us.」Ria said. 「I doubt I’d be able to kill all ten goblins before they could call for reinforcements.」
「Guess ten would be difficult, even for you, Ria.」I commented casually.
「They all had weapons, so of course. But as for lewd little devils, I make it a habit to give them a good whack with my sword when they deserve it..」
Geh. Deet and Ria both pretended like they didn’t know anything, but Ria had seen everything.
I puffed my cheeks out and averted my gaze, in an effort to avoid getting hit by Ria. Still…
「I guess there are still goblins in orc territory, huh.」I said.
Deet shook her head. 「That shouldn’t happen though. The two races don’t get along, so…」She sounded puzzled.
But the goblins had unmistakably passed through, meaning that we had to take this into account.
We returned back to the path and headed forward. As we walked, though, I noticed something. 「There’s only one straight path here, and no rooms on either side. Meaning that if goblins come from the front, don’t we have to go back to-」
-that room. But before I got a chance to finish my sentence, Miri’s ears perked up.
「Nya! More goblins coming. Lots of them!」
「Ah!」
「Go back to that room!」
「Again!」I muttered. 「I was about to say it too.」
We ran back, searching for the room. By the second time around, I’d gotten used to this, and wasted no time in turning off my headlight as we dashed into the space.
Likewise, Deet quickly clutched at her pendant, pushing it into her cleavage.
And from the looks of it, Ria had decided to not wield her sword this time, intending on hiding with us.
I heard the faint noise of the goblins slowly get louder.
And now that this was the second time, the fear of getting discovered was nothing compared to the bliss of three pairs of breasts pressing against me.
This time though, it felt like two people had moved slightly further away, while one was aggressively pushing forward.
Due to the darkness, I couldn’t quite make out who that one person was. Her chest felt… really big. Was it Deet, maybe?
But their shoulder felt relatively muscular. So it was probably Ria, who fought most often at the front.
Earlier, she’d looked angry, but after feeling Ria’s touch, I realized I must’ve misread the situation.
Right! This was, without a doubt, a tsundere!
I even had an inkling as to the cause of her tsundere. It was likely because we hadn’t done anything since that night together.
I decided to feel up Ria as well.
Starting from her shoulders. Fufufu. They were indeed quite broad.
Next, her arms. They felt lean and muscular, without a trace of excess fat. Forged from countless hours of grueling training. I didn’t mind muscles.
Then, her thighs. I imagined they were bulging with muscles too. No… wait…. How exquisite!
But why did they feel different from when we were on the bed together? Probably because she was crouched down, tensing her legs in readiness for an attack.
A-alright. Now, finally, just a small grope of her breasts…
Woahhhhhhhhhh! So massive! Immensely massive! Was Ria always this big?
I guess she was the type who looked slender in clothes.
Ria’s breaths became shallow and flustered.
Perhaps due to her embarrassment at having her breasts groped, Ria took my hand, linking it with hers.
Just as I found myself melting in her cuteness, the goblins passed by, leaving the room behind.
Though I did wish that the goblins walked a little slower…
In the background, I heard Deet and Miri’s conversation.
「Whew. Are we good now, Miri? That was way more than ten this time.」
「Yeah, they’ve left for good. There really are a ton of goblins though.」
Judging from the position of their voices, they were standing somewhat further away, as I’d originally thought.
Which meant that the one standing closest to me must be Ria.
Oddly, though, I heard the distinct sound of metal on metal ring out a distance away.
Huh? A sword?
「That certainly was quite a few goblins.」Came Ria’s voice. 「But Sir Thor… I’m sorry about those things I said earlier. You don’t have to be so distant.」
「Eh?」
W-why did Ria sound so far away? S-so the hand I was holding… wasn’t hers?
No one seemed to realize anything was off.
That is, until Deet retrieved the pendant from her cleavage, its light spilling across the room.
Revealing Ria and Deet and Miri’s shocked expressions.
Very slowly, I turned to the side.
And came face to face with an embarrassed, bald, light yellow female gorilla. Well, not exactly a gorilla.
It was unmistakable. My hand was tightly linked to a monster- an orc, in fact.
I knew, because I’d seen an orc before. When I had last seen Enami.
Wait, Enami? Oh, right! I’d forgotten about Enami!
「Sir Thor! Please let go of her!」Ria cried.「Orc! Prepare yourself!」She raised her gleaming, silver sword in battle stance.
I hurriedly stopped her. 「W-wait a sec!」
「And why should I wait?」
「Huh?」W-why should she wait?
Deet pushed her way towards us. 「C-could it be that you want her to do that thing you talked about earlier? Since it looks like she’s a female.」
Admittedly, the orc had really big boobs…
「No way!」
「Then why?」
「Just, for the time being, don’t. She might have information about Enami.」
「Enami?」
Deet and Ria both echoed the question, before seeming to remember who I was talking about.
But Miri had no idea who Enami was. 「It doesn’t matter what she might know! We have to kill her before she calls for reinforcements!」
「Wait, wait. Let me talk to her first. There aren’t many orcs nearby, right?」
As soon as those words left my mouth, I heard repulsive sounding voices from the corridor.
「Grrr. I heard voices from over there.」
「There must be someone there!」
Crap. The goblins from earlier must’ve heard our bickering.
I heard the sound of weapons being drawn, then running footsteps drawing closer to us.
「Ugh! We’ve been found out. There’s nowhere to run or hide, so I guess we better prepare to fight.」
Deet, the one in charge of our party’s decisions, made the executive call.
「What do we do if they call for support?」
「Our fighting strength should be enough. You brought the cola, right?」
「Yeah.」
The goblins of Yomi Dungeon wielded poisoned blowguns. Ria had been struck by one when I first found her. But luckily, cola was quite the effective antidote.
「Alright! But before that, the orc-」Deet raised her staff. I leaped in front of her to stop her.
「This way!」The orc abruptly spoke out in japanese- or rather, monster language- pulling me towards a direction.
「Huh? Where?」
We were in a small room, without any other exit besides the one we’d come from. What was the point?
However, the orc touched an area on the wall, and with a clunk, a section of the wall began to revolve, revealing a path behind it.
「A hidden door?」I muttered to no one in particular. At the same time, everyone else filed in behind me.
Once we all entered, the orc touched some section again, and the wall revolved back into place.
The orc put a single finger to her lips, indicating us to be quiet.
We waited in silence as the goblins noisily entered the room we were just in.
「Grr. We searched everywhere, but there’s no one here.」
「Strange.」
After a while, we heard the footsteps receding until they were no more.
The four of us exchanged looks.
From the others’ expressions, apparently I had been delegated as the one to express our thanks to the orc.
「Thanks for saving us, Miss Orc.」
「You. Are you japanese?」
「Eh? You knew?」
「Because you resemble Enami.」
