Chapter 71: Shadow Ruin (Panties Dungeon) 3

After that, I return the panties to Nee-san and head outside the cave, as a gentleman would. But.

Honestly speaking, I want to see.

I want to see them change if I can. However, to the three who offer me their panties..... To the two people that willingly offer their panties while enduring the embarrassment, I can’t do that to them. That’s why I can’t allow myself to look.

Then what should I do?

Can you imagine it? If it’s me who already played more than a hundred eroges, it should be something easy for me to do.

“Goshujin-sama.”

When I was thinking about Sempai and Ludi taking off their panties, I heard a voice from behind. I turned back to look and found Nanami.

Nanami lowers her face with a sorry look on her face.

“My deepest apologies. Originally, it should be me who offered the panties. But why everyone is willing to offer their panties? Even though they knew that I have an absolute loyalty toward you, why are they still willing to offer theirs?”

There’s no need to apologize in particular though. Rather, isn’t that misplaced?

“Goshujin-sama made too many Madams.”

Umm, in the first place though.

“I don’t remember having a wife yet.......”

“Well, let’s set that aside. You see, I am very frustrated right now.”

“What exactly are you frustrated about........”

Was there anything to be frustrated about?

“When Goshujin-sama was spilling out nonsense and everyone finally give up on you, I planned to gallantly show up to heal Goshujin-sama’s wounded heart. Then I will make Goshujin-sama a captive of my charm by cheering you up with gentle words. I even thought up the words to cheer you up but everything ended up wasted.”

I see so she frustrated that she didn’t the chance to captivate me huh.

“So you have been planning such a thing? I’m surprised. By the way, how did you planned to cheer me up?”

“It’s okay, Goshujin-sama! Even if no one is going to offer it, I will! My panties belong to Goshujin-sama’s alone? And if Goshujin-sama dresses up as a girl and offers your panties the dungeon might mistake it for a genuine one and accept it, it’s too early to abandon hope!”

“Rather than comforting, aren’t you cornering me instead? Can you stop trying to make me crossdress?”

Who’s going to crossdress? Leave something like that to the protagonist. Rather, why are you so obsessed about this?

“Aah, and I was planning to pat your head while pushing your face onto my chest too. What a shame.”

What a shame indeed. Isn’t that interesting? Will she do it if I pretended to be shocked right now? But I won’t ever crossdress you know.

“With that being said......”

She said so and hand me something. It’s a light blue cloth with white stripes.

What Nanami gave me was not a handkerchief. A handkerchief doesn’t have a cute ribbon like this. Then, I can immediately guess what she handed to me.

“N, no we won’t need another one you know.”

I said so but Nanami walks toward me and put it inside my breast pocket. She patted the pocket that she put her panties inside while making an expression like she did something good and back away.

I quickly tried to return it but Nanami won’t take it back.

“It’s fine. I just want to show my sincerity to Goshujin-sama no matter what. That’s all.”

“I, I understand. I already got your sincerity so I don’t need this. Rather, what should I do with this in the first place!?”

Hearing so, Nanami approaches me and whisper into my ear.

“You still have Claris-sama’s right?”

I swallowed my saliva.

How did she know that?

I want to make excuses but the words didn’t come up...... When I was desperately thinking about what to do, Nanami stole the march and speak first.

“You want it right? Mine is especially good you know. Your defense will increase if you wear it too.”

“I don’t want a panty to increase my defensive power. I have no idea how to put it on in the first place, normally that is. No, that’s not a good picture to imagine too.”

“So, please think about it as an amulet, it’s like you always carrying me with you. You can say something like [You alone I will never hand over] too. Moreover.....it somehow felt like I lost.”

There’s nothing to win or lose about though.

Nanami back away while making a satisfied expression and return inside the cave.

I decided to cherish the panties and hurriedly follow her.

Apparently, the preparation was almost ready and they were about to call us in. I hide the panties while avoiding sempai’s gaze and head toward the war maiden statues with everyone follow along.

The three who will be offering their panties are standing in front of the pedestals and prepare their panties.

They must have folded it and carry it in their hands. Sempai and Ludi are holding it with both hands while sneaking a glance at me with their face still a little blushed.

Then there’s Nee-san who is stretching her back while still having her usual expression on her face with her panties on top of her open palms. Why is she looking so dignified?

“Okay, let’s start.”

With Nee-san single word, the three of them put their panties on the pedestals.

The reaction started right away like the time I offered my boxer pants.

Dazzling light was emitted from the three statues. The light gathered into a line for each statue and shine on the respective panties.

Sempai’s neatly folded blue panty is slowly unfolding in the light. For sempai who doesn’t want to show me her panty, this is the same as a public execution.

It was a blue panty with snowflakes patterns. It was well designed as it matched Yukine-sempai’s name. If I see her wearing it I might just faint right then and there. Ludi’s pure white panties also unfolded like sempai’s. It shows her noble image since it’s pure white but the one I am seeing right now is much more risque than I expected. When I look at such offensive power, my heart started to beat faster.

Noticing my gaze.

Sempai and Ludi turn back and give me the [Please don’t look] face.

I was about to puke blood.

As if her neck was a machine that hadn’t been oiled for a hundred years, Ludi covers her face with both her hands and crackingly turns her face away from that blissful sight. And while I screamed inside my heart, I engraved the picture of the two jewels I saw earlier inside my memory.

It was about a minute after that Nanami gave me permission to raise my face.

When I opened my eyes, Sempai, Ludi, and Nanami are making a serious expression while Nee-san still making her usual expression.

At the center of the three pedestals, a magic circle appeared.

I took a deep breath and put magic power inside my stole and swing it a few times. Sempai took out her naginata, Ludi and Nee-san readied their wands and Nanami took out a bow and dagger. Everyone started preparing for battle.

I also took the sword out from the storage bag. After confirming that everyone is ready, we step on the magic circle.
