Chapter 69: Shadow Ruin (Short Dungeon)

It was because I remembered the field map and acquired the map from this world that I was able to discover the Twilight Grotto yesterday. However, there’s no need to go to such length for the dungeon I will be capturing this time. The place was already discovered but it was not considered as a dungeon but as a small ruin with no value.

I couldn’t find anything on this dungeon from the dungeon documents, so I thought that it was still undiscovered but it was marked as a ruin in the normal map.

And according to my findings, this place has already been explored even before Marino-san was born. However, they couldn’t find anything with historical value.

Moreover, on top of walking through the forest path to reach this dungeon, this place is also located inside the Hanamura family’s land. It can’t be helped that no one come to such a place. Un, Hanamura’s land is too big!!

Now then, even though that place has been discovered, I can guess why it wasn’t categorized as a dungeon. It was because of the miserable nature of its entry condition.

“Seems like this is the place.”

Nanami said so while folding the map.

Maybe it was because this place was made by cutting into a cliff. There are two pillars carved into the wall and the center was like an ellipse cut in half, It’s an inverted U shaped hole.

“This place huh……”

I tried looking inside but since there’s no light, I can’t see further inside.

“Is there really a dungeon in such a place? Excuse me, but did you really read a document on this place? Even the map doesn’t mark this place as a dungeon too…”

Nanami looks at me with suspicious eyes.

“I really read it. The document that describes this place as a dungeon.”

Or so I say but of course, I didn’t. It was a lie that I made up on the spot so it can’t be helped that she will get suspicious. There’s actually a document but you have to get it from an old book store by exchanging it with several magic stones. But since it was only a casual conversation in the game, I don’t know where that bookstore actually is.

I thought that Iori might have found it so I sent him a message to confirm but it seemed like he hasn’t found the bookstore either. That old bookstore also provides you with the materials about the other expansion pack dungeons so I really want him to find it. Let me visit it too. Well, even if he doesn’t find it, I can rely on my memory and the map to search for it. At least there’s still a way for me to discover them.

“Isn’t there’s something wrong with Goshujin-sama’s existent itself?”

“Can you not casually denying my whole existent?”

I inserted a retort, I strengthen the stole with magic power and enter the hole.

The path is wide enough for four people though. I and Nanami used Light magic while we keep doing deeper inside. Then we found an open space around eighty meters inside.

“What is that I wonder?”

There are three statues at the place that Nanami pointed at. They are the statue of a woman holding a sword and wand. The statues were arranged in a triangle shape and at the center are three T shaped pedestals. Additionally, the statues are holding a sword in their right hand while holding the wand on their left hand.

I immediately went straight to the pedestals but Nanami seemed to be curious about the statues and start examining them.

On top of each pedestal is an indentation with an inverted triangle shape. This must be the place to offer [THAT], or so I guess. Additionally, there are unknown letters written around the pedestal but some of the heroines like Nanami should be able to read it. But I already know what was written there.

After she finished examining the statues and head toward me. She read the written letters on the pedestal for me.

[ [Thou, Off’r us three final shields used by the Warmaidens.] is it?]

Nanami looks back at the stone statues.

“Final shield?… I wonder what it is. And three of them at that……Is it okay if we just offer 3 shields used by women?”

I certainly understand why she interpreted it like that. Rather, if there are people who can read what written here then they must also have the same misunderstanding.

Even in the general gaming sense hearing [Thou, Off’r us three final shields used by the Warmaidens.], you would imagine something like a shield made by the goddess or the shield that was used by a legendary hero. If it’s a reality then all the more.

However, Magiero was an eroge. You can’t interpret such a thing like that.

“Umm, right, it’s hard to say….. But in the document I read…..the shields that we are looking for are more like a cloth….so uhh. About the part that says the thing about final protection…….”

“Ha?”

“HIEE”

Nanami guessed what I wanted to say and give me a stinging gaze.

“You see, Uhh…it’s a woman’s…..you know. The last piece of cloth that’s left when you take your clothes off, so you need to offer that…… Ee, I didn’t come up with it on my own okay. I would never think about it. It’s really what the document said. It really says to offer three panties… to pass through.”

The place froze.

Nanami is expressionless. That expressionlessness also transmitting her disgust and anger toward me, I’m going to wet myself. Moreover, she also keeps staring at me without blinking.

“Are you ordering me…to offer mine?”

“It’s a misunderstanding! Please listen to me!!”

It’s not actually a misunderstanding but I rather want to ask for her consent. It’s not my fault in the first place but I somehow being attacked by this mysterious guilt. Suppressing that emotion, I perform a dogeza without thinking and beg for her forgiveness.

No matter who I come to visit this place with I thought that something like this would happen. That’s why I don’t want to capture this dungeon in the first place.

In the game, when the protagonist unlocks this dungeon, I just do it without any guilt, dept or sense of reality. It was to the extent that I want to hang my head.

Offering their panties, normally the heroines would want to avoid that right? Well, I can’t say for sure because they’re eroge’s heroines, some of them don’t wear one in the first place. However, normally they would want to avoid such a situation. [But it was a necessary condition to enter this dungeon so it can’t be helped right?] it was the excuse in the setting that made the heroines, no matter which one offers their panty, it was an absolute setting in the game. I would immediately bring my favorite characters to this dungeon in the past.

And when the game asked you [Which one of you will offer their panty] it will show you the choices with the name of the heroines you brought along. It can’t be helped that my hand that was holding the mouse was shaking when I saw the result of my choice.

Depending on the heroines you selected, you will be given a cold eye (reward), showered with insults (also reward) like [Baka, or Hentai]. Then they would say something like [You understand what will happen if nothing happens right?] and they would angrily take off their panties and offer it, they actually do it, they seriously did it.

Just how many times did I load the save files to see that conversation……!

Moreover, depending on the combination of the characters you brought along, you will be able to get a special event. So together with the gentlemen from the game wiki we tried all the possible combinations and determined all the patterns. It was really fun at that time.

Surprisingly, all the expansion pack heroines also offer their panty and have their own special combinations and patterns for special dialogue.

I thought they were genius.

But It’s actually a disaster.

The one who came up with this setting must really be an idiot. Just how do you think people can just casually ask a girl for their panty? There’s no way I can do that right, you stupid idiot? It’s a silly eroge setting so it can be forgiven in the game but in real life, it’s just insane. The guy who came up with this setting seriously must only have ero in their head, no doubt about that. The offering can be a sword or a jewel, there are other things you can use right? The craziest thing about this is that it has to be a used one too. You just brought a pervert to a new height. If it is a new one then you can just buy it at a department store at the convenience store and offer it.

“…That’s why, you see. It’s the dungeon that’s bad.”

For the time being, I gave her a lot of excuses and keep performing dogeza.

Haa, Nanami let out a small sigh and offer me a hand to pull me up.

“My deepest apologies, it’s not Goshujin-sama’s fault but I still can’t calm myself down.”

At her words, I raise my face. Nanami’s smile kindly like an angel. No, she’s actually an angel, right?

“I don’t mind offering mine…… but.”

“But?”

“Isn’t it fine if…….Goshujin-sama offer yours too?”

!?

“Goshujin-sama has a slightly neutral face in the first place. If we just change your eyes, nose, ears, mouth and face outline then arrange your hair for a bit it then you would look like a cute man.”

Isn’t that a completely different person? Eyes, nose, ears, mouth and face outline, If I change all that then there wouldn’t be any part of me left right?

“Well, but there’s that condition….it must come from a war maiden right…….”

“Have you try testing it out?”

“I haven’t…..”

Then, let’s get naked.

She said so and I was forced to put my hands on my pants.

How did it come to this?

At least she won’t be looking at me like Nee-san, right? It felt a little unsatisfied but I take off my pants, get my boxer shorts and put on my pants.

Then I put the boxer on the pedestal.

A reaction came immediately after.

Each of the statues emitted a bright light, it gathered together to form a single line of light that shines on the boxer.

“N, No way.”

The boxer that the light shone on float up a little and emitting light.

It would be fantastic if it’s a panty instead.

Then my boxer keeps shining brighter and brighter…..until it catch on fire.

“EEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! ! !!”

It flutters down to the ground. But the fire won’t disappear.

As I was still confused, water shoot out from my side. It seems like Nanami used her water magic. The water impacts on the burning boxer and extinguishes the fire. What’s left behind is a big hole in the place that should be protecting my hidden place.

It seems like I can’t use it anymore.

“M, My deepest apologies.”

As expected, Nanami also making an upset face ridden with guilt.

However, maybe it is a response of having my boxers burned or the fact that I am not wearing any underpants right now, my heart was calm.

“No, it’s fine. The thing I tried to make you do probably yield a result close to this…. Right. When we capture this dungeon with everyone let’s have they carry another spare for the way back.”

I ended up with no underpants but I was able to learn from this. Let’s have the people who will be coming with me to carry a spare panty. It’s decided.

“D, Do you have a change of clothes, Goshujin-sama….?”

“Nah, I didn’t bring any because I didn’t think this would happen. But is there something I can use to replace it?”

I check my bag. Then I found something like a black string in the deepest part of my bag……string?

“What’s this?”

A thin fabric is attached to the center of the strong. It’s the thing that protects the most important part of a human, a panty. It is a familiar naughty panty. It’s was the one I got when I helped Claris-san move into the house.

“N, No. Y, you’re wrong!! This isn’t mine!!”

Nanami’s sympathetic expression went back to expressionless again.

“Then who does it belong to?”

“It, it’s Claris-san’s, It’s certainly not mine.”

“……So why do you have Claris-sama panty, I wonder?”

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!”
