The Main Character is the Villain

We decided to rest for a while and then explore the Great Underground Cavern. Preparing for camping was easy, as we had brought various equipment, anticipating the dungeon raid would take several days. The exploration was very leisurely since there were no monsters roaming the dungeon, nor was it a space where something could pop out from anywhere.

This lowest floor cavern was shaped like a bear's paw. The Holy Sword was in a large room in the center, and from that room, there were a total of four small rooms. There were no special items in the rooms. Only beds that were so old it was impossible to tell who had used them and iron chains embedded in the walls hinted at the purpose of these rooms.

The unusual thing was that there were two beds.

Probably an SM Club.....

"It's a prison."

Karin said. Right, this place was probably a prison. I shook the lewd thoughts from my mind and focused on the investigation again. She, who was in charge of investigating the right room with me, rummaged through a shelf in the room and found a worn document. I peeked from the side, but I couldn't recognize what letters they were.

"What letters are those?"

"It's an archaic language used by humans, so it will be difficult for you to understand, Priest. Let's see....."

"You can read archaic language?"

"Grave robbers sometimes hide the value of their stolen goods, so I know a little." She learned the archaic language for a very practical reason. From the way she spoke, it seemed she had a few more tricks up her sleeve, but they didn't appear in her traits window. Karin began to read the document haltingly.

"From what I can see, the criminals..... protect..... I can only read about this much. The other words are a bit unfamiliar, so I'll have to go up and decipher them."

Karin rolled up the document and put it in her bag. There were no other items. Both rooms had documents with the same content, but they were equally indecipherable. Karin took both documents and came out of the room.

Erina and AA were already outside. Erina, who had been linking arms with AA, subtly pulled away and cleared her throat as soon as we arrived.

"Well, is your investigation over?"

"Yes. It's finished. How about you, Princess?"

Karin asked. Erina replied that it was a room with only chains and a bed, and it was presumed to be a prison. She also said that she had found an ancient document in that room, and from what she could roughly read, it seemed that criminals had come down here to protect something.

"If they were protecting something...."

"It must be the Holy Sword."

Karin said. It was a logical conclusion. If they came all the way down to this underground to protect something, it could only be the Holy Sword. It was just that the guards were nowhere to be found, perhaps having rotted away completely over time. Karin spoke with a puzzled expression.

"But it's strange."

"What is?"

I asked. Karin looked around the rooms and then spoke.

"There are no bathrooms."

That was true too. A facility for imprisonment and guarding underground, but no separate bathroom? It didn't make sense that there were no traces, as they would have had to relieve themselves somewhere, whether in the room or elsewhere. In a space this deep, they would have had to handle their bodily functions somewhere, yet there was no trace of it in this cavern.

Furthermore, there was no food storage, no space to cook, and not even a space where a guard force might have been. Did these criminals voluntarily come down to protect the Holy Sword and commute to work? Through the 7th basement floor guarded by golems? Really?

If it was a temporary space created before the golems were installed, the iron chains on the walls were strange. The very structure of the cave was artificially made to place golems on each floor. But then they gather people on the bottom floor to guard the Holy Sword? They'd stop a human capable of breaking through that Mega Golem with just a few people?

"It's strange. It's too strange."

It was strange. This whole dungeon was extremely strange. It was too flimsy to be for imprisonment, and it lacked a clear purpose. The environment was too bleak to have employed people for guarding.

"What a spooky story."

Erina said, rubbing her arms. Since there was nothing we could know for sure, it was indeed a spooky story. Only the campfire in the middle of the room was burning brightly. Erina slowly sidled up to AA and spoke.

"But, um... about eating something....."

"That sounds good."

Karin nodded at Erina's proposal. We had brought plenty of food, thinking we'd be exploring for several days. We placed a pot on the campfire and threw in the ingredients we'd brought, and a thick soup was quickly made. Karin took some bread out of her bag and distributed it to everyone.

Then, after ladling soup into each bowl, she looked around, stood up, and said.

"Um... I need to take care of some business....."

Her face was beet red;

I could guess what kind of business it was. As Karin disappeared into the far right room, Erina, who must have been holding it in for a while, also headed to one of the rooms. Following her, AA also stood up with a somewhat troubled face and headed to the far left room. These bastards are all going to the bathroom except me.

It seemed the pressure from the Holy Sword a moment ago had given them a rather strange stimulation. Because I was fine. I thought about going for a peek, but doing something like that here would be a perfect way to get stabbed. I couldn't give up my reputation just for peeking at someone peeing.

I looked at the steaming soup in front of me and fumbled in my pocket, then realized I still had an unused aphrodisiac with me. This is it. Fuck, this is it. It was an opportunity from the heavens. Without delay, I poured all of the potion into the soup that was at Erina's spot. It was a lowest-grade aphrodisiac, so she wouldn't go into heat to an absurd degree, but for a crazy elf who was thinking of fucking AA in the dungeon, it would be a specific remedy.

I just poured in the potion and waited for them, pretending nothing had happened. Karin, who returned shortly after, said with a flushed face.

"Did you, um... hear anything?"

"What sound are you talking about?"

".....It's nothing."

Karin didn't bother to explain further, and I didn't bother to ask. It was time to eat, after all. Soon after, Erina and AA also appeared. AA was muttering something like, 'Not used to this,' to herself, and Erina sat down as if nothing had happened.

And so, mealtime began. Karin, her previous cool demeanor gone, raised her voice to hide her embarrassment.

"Well, um... let's eat...!"

Everyone seemed to be hungry. They hurriedly drank the soup and tore at the bread. Erina frowned while eating the soup, wearing a strange expression, but since everyone else was eating without a word, she resumed her meal. Does it taste that weird?

After finishing the soup, I used clean magic to roughly clean the dishes. After putting them back in the bag, we decided to rest for one round. We had plenty of time, anyway. All that was left was to digest a bit and then either smash that golem or find a way out.

So I lay down, using my bag as a pillow, and observed Erina. Her face was gradually turning red. Her breathing grew rougher, and she squirmed, rubbing her crotch. Noticing her increasingly ragged breaths, AA asked Erina.

"Erina? What's wrong?"

"Eung.... N-No... it's nothing....."

It seemed the aphrodisiac was more effective than I thought. Still, for a high-level and relatively sturdy elf to be affected to this extent by a mere lowest-grade aphrodisiac, I felt I could vaguely understand why people had prohibited them. If the lowest-grade was this potent, the highest-grade would surely turn a person into a complete cripple.

I remembered the people in the trade city who had collapsed in a state of arousal. Humans rubbing their crotches all day, unable to be satisfied even with masturbation. Did Eve and Cellu use something similar to a highest-grade aphrodisiac back then? They said mermaid's blood had an aphrodisiac effect;

would using it cause that?

"Haa... haa....."

Erina was breathing more and more roughly. I couldn't tell if elves were just susceptible to potions or if the lowest-grade aphrodisiac was just that fucking strong. Karin, who had been resting with her eyes closed, peeked at Erina, and AA looked at Erina with a worried face.

"Erina? Are you okay? Your body is hot...."

"Aheuk...!"

As AA touched Erina, she let out a lewd groan and twisted her body. Karin sat up. AA looked at Erina with a flustered face. Erina shot me a quick glare.

It was obvious she thought I had pulled some trick. There was no one else who would, but she didn't question me any further. Instead, she grabbed AA's hand and shot to her feet.

"E-Erina?"

"Follow me."

And with that, Erina took AA and disappeared into a room. The fact that she ghostly picked a room they hadn't used as a toilet suggested she was still in her right mind. And then.

"W-Wait, Erina... wait...! Aheuk... this is... too...!"

"St-Stop... Haa... wait... too rough... Aah... this is...!"

"Ahang... Aang...! Haeung... Eueung...! I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Erina... this is... my limit...! Heueut...!"

An explicit, lewd sound echoed out. Just from the sound, I could roughly guess what the two were doing. They were definitely fingering each other. But since I could only hear AA's moans, it seemed Erina was far from satisfied.

Karin, her face dyed bright red, turned her head away. At the sound of AA's shrieks, I couldn't hide my excitement. I gently pressed down on my swollen genitals with my hand and waited for Erina and AA to come out. AA was dragged out by Erina with a dazed expression. Erina still looked unsatisfied.

"Uh... Eueut....."

AA trembled and threw her body onto her backpack. She was just panting and squirming. Was she a powerhouse as a man, so she became a sensitive woman?

Erina was breathing heavily, fiddling with her own thigh. I subtly turned my body, showing off my swollen penis through my clothes. The moment my eyes met Erina's, she spoke.

"Lusius.... I have... something to tell you.... It's about the Elf Kingdom.... so for a moment... follow me... to the room....."

Her gaze was fixed on my swollen cock. I had no reason to refuse. In fact, it was what I was aiming for.
