Chapter 16

The Saint’s Dungeon Affairs – 16

“…sigh.”

The things didn’t go as planned and got messed up, I couldn’t help but to sigh. Oh, fuck it. I can’t stand going around. This is not a game, and she’s a party member who’ll be with me for a long time so I’ve been going round and round to persuade her rationally and slowly, but things just seem to get worse. I can’t ditch her now. I’ve invested too much time and effort for this. Even without that, I’d like to keep that beauty near me for a long time if possible.

“I will be honest with you. I want to grow stronger and challenge myself to deeper parts of the dungeon, as soon as possible. That’s why I’m collecting party members. I’ll be upset if not with anything else but the level of my partners that I recruit weigh me down.

I’m not telling you to do it with me, so would you level up, well, somewhere else at least?”

Honest? Bullshit. I’ll make her open up an option to have sex, and after that I’ll pick her up no matter what..

“No. But I’m confident I won’t let you down. I can do even better. I’m sure I can be your help. If you think I cannot, you can kick me out of your party anytime you want.”

She’s got enormous confidence. She used to say she’s humongously confident with her talent. What is she exactly?

“How many times should I tell you I’ll never ditch my partner? Let me ask you one thing, though. If you’re that confident with your skills, breaking up a party doesn’t mean anything to you, right? Then why are you trying to even stay with me?”

“…That’s…. Do I look that shameless? I know that you’ve done a lot for me. I told you I won’t do anything so selfish like taking what I can get from you and just leave.”

Alright. So in short, you’ve become strong enough to hunt alone, but you appreciate what I did for you so you’ll help me? And you’re intending to level up by having combat only? Does she really think she can be of help? Okay, she seems like she’s not snooty as I thought but she’s just ignorant.

“…And it does seem like your purpose is really not my body.”

At least she added those words, which means my effort wasn’t in vain. My plan at this point was “I’m not doing this for your body but I can’t help but to do it for your level up.” Who could’ve imagined I’d succeed opening up her mind to me and fail at the real game?

“…Let’s go back for tomorrow and think it over tomorrow.”

“Okay. Let’s go for stronger monsters tomorrow. I’ll prove my words.”

To be honest, I don’t care whether you do prove your point or not. Of course, as I go to the dungeon, having a solid partner is great. I can rely on them. But that’s not the only thing I want from my partner. It’d be like living in hell to adventure with someone like her and not being able to lay a hand on her. That’s like a torture.

I thought of this too easily. Honestly, at the moment I heard her goal is to be stronger, I thought everything would go so smoothly when she reaches her job level limit. I get impulses to just give up, but looking at her face she’s too beautiful for all of this to be left in a memory. Could there be any good method to overcome this dilemma?

I opened every single game window in habit to collect thoughts and started brainstorming. And then, I noticed a skill in my Saint skill window. This is a bit, well, quite dangerous but maybe I can use this.

Healing Sex 1

Passive Skill

While having sex the metabolism gets faster, accelerating the regeneration rate of the caster and the target.

During sex, natural regeneration rate increases by [100%] and heals by [100].

It was the one of the major skill ‘Sex Healer,’ the last title of Great Earth, and now it is something I can learn as a Saint. But to be honest this was out of my scope until now. Reasonably, the only healing method in the world of ‘Sex Healer’ was crazily having sex. That’s why such skill became a major skill, but it’s not in this world. They’d drink a potion once hurt, who’d be crazy enough to have sex? And almost all the time someone could get hurt is during combat. Having sex during combat, or ending the combat quickly and having sex, both are crazy. Especially when we don’t have any other party member to guard us, it’s suicidal.

But now isn’t the time to choose. I’m crazy enough to do it, if necessary.

I was thinking too hard. I bragged about being the sex master of virtual reality, but virtual reality is merely virtual reality. The NPCs I had sex with are programmed to feel for player’s satisfaction. That means improving my technique via virtual reality is completely bullshit. So my sex experience is just reverse-rape-like one with Alicia. Simply put, I have no proper experience.

I didn’t realize it, but maybe I was feeling timid. That’s why I never took the first step and induced her to mention it first if possible, and proceed the plan carefully.

But after having that conversation with Sarah, the route I was taking got completely barricaded. She was a mad lady who actually wants to level up with combat only, how absurd! I know she’s a brat but I thought she’s normal!

But my effort so far wasn’t in vain. At the dungeon I focused on scaling up Sarah’s ability, and I never laid a finger on Sarah while sleeping in the same room. So she now completely trusts that I didn’t approach her for her body. The subtle differences of how she reacted to me when we first met and how she does now, I think we built enough trust as partners. And she seems to be really confident with her skills. That must mean she’s got some kind of secret. But she’s still level 8. Whether she’s got a hidden card or two, there must be a limit on what she can do.

Okay, I’m taking this risk.

A plan popped up in my head on a whim. Even if it doesn’t work, I have a potion in my inventory I bought just in case. This might actually work!

Then I noticed a pod of 3 female wolfdogs on our front.

Wait a minute, this may be the chance.

I looked toward Sarah, and I found another pod of 3 wolfdogs in a distance. I can’t tell whether they’re male or female, but this might actually be the chance!

Sarah hasn’t noticed the wolfdogs behind her yet. As the chance to carry out the plan I just came up with came to me right away, I immediately ran to the group of female wolfdogs, and shouted.

“Let’s kill those and go back to the inn! Support me from behind!”

!”

And then Sarah screamed. I quickly turned to her, and she was falling off from the tree. There were a few wolfdogs lying around with arrows shot to their body, but there were still two female wolfdogs remaining. She must have hurt her leg when she fell; she stood up uncomfortably, and she drew her knife out. Her quivers were empty as well.

Holy fuck, when did so many wolfdogs got there? I quickly ran to save Sarah, but the wolfdog’s attacks were faster. Sarah managed to handle one, but the other one bit off her belly.

With a horrible sound, the blood flew out so much you could tell it was a serious injury at a glance, and she fell to the ground as if she fainted out.

Fuck!

“DIE! BITCH!”

I quickly dealt with the wolfdog and inspected Sarah. Her face was pale and there was a giant hole in her beautiful belly that you could see the innards.

“Hey! Wake up!”

FUCK! FUCK! I didn’t see this coming!

I was too impatient at the thought all my effort could be for nothing! I only imagined that I might not be able to get all the wolfdogs before my health runs out, but I never thought that Sarah could get badly hurt! I was too naive when I thought if they get aggroed to her I can protect her with my body.

When I saw her innards, my head went blank and I panicked, making me not able to think about anything.

Fuck. What should I do now?

Oh, right! Potion!

I remembered I had a potion I bought with a fortune just in case. I took it out and poured the half on her belly and let her drink the other half. It recovered enough to hide the innards, but the injury was still bad, and her pale face wasn’t coming back anytime soon.

While I panic and confused about what to do, I opened all the game windows on habit, and noticed a skill.
