Chapter 79

<Episode 81> Do you have a grudge against big-chested women?

With the final room ahead, Yu-jin and the group took a brief rest.

Because no matter how long they waited, the promised adventurers didn’t show up.

The adventurers who were supposed to come didn’t, instead some reptiles jumped out.

“Those things are mine-”

“No, you guys stay back. I’ll take care of those.”

Right as Yu-jin was about to step forward, Rime stopped him.

And before anyone could help, she wiped them out in an instant.

Her expression was quite fierce.

Does she have some kind of grudge against reptiles?

Anyway, that was already 20 minutes ago.

Thanks to that, the four of them were passing the time somewhat bored.

“Hmm, I want chocolate.”

“Chocolate? Do you like chocolate, Mr. Yu-jin?”

Young-hee asked, slightly surprised.

For some reason, Yu-jin didn’t give off the impression of someone who liked sweets.

“Yeah, I like it. The sweet and tangy taste is good.”

“Hmm, well, really?”

The class president perked up and came closer to listen.

Rime was somehow already sitting next to her.

“I like chocolate milk and chocolate cake too. Of course, eating it plain is still the best though.”

“Hee~ I love desserts too. I got scolded once for eating too much at a dessert buffet.”

“Who did you go with?”

“Well, obviously…”

Young-hee’s mouth moved as if she was about to say something.

But after moving her lips like she wanted to say something, they closed shut.

Looking rather frustrated, Young-hee let out a deep sigh.

“Haa…I can’t remember.”

“Well, it was probably Chul-soo.”

“Chul-soo? Was he close to me?”

“Yeah, probably the closest person in the world.”

“Is…that so…”

Young-hee bowed her head deeply.

She suddenly remembered the day Chul-soo visited her at the hospital.

That hurt expression on his face…

‘Even if I do regain my memories, do I even deserve to see that person again?’

-Snap!

At that moment, Rime clapped her hands together as if to change the mood.

“Well, we’ve rested enough. Let’s go inside.”

“But the adventurers still haven’t come yet?”

“…If they haven’t come by now, they probably just ran away.”

At Rime’s words, the class president stared at her intently.

Their eyes briefly met.

As if on cue, the class president nodded.

“……Yeah. It’s not uncommon for scared adventurer parties to run away.”

“Eh? Really?”

“Wah, this is ridiculous! We’ve been waiting here trusting their promise this whole time.”

The class president glanced awkwardly at the monster corpses before speaking.

“Well, maybe it’s for the best. You can’t easily trust others in a place like this anyway. It might actually be safer going just us.”

Considering the level of dungeons they’d faced so far, it wasn’t expected to be too difficult.

This side had only waited based on promises and preparedness.

It wasn’t like they thought it would be dangerous or anything.

“Shall we go in then?”

At Yu-jin’s words, the three nodded.

Opening the door and going in, the inside was a large open space.

It had the perfect atmosphere for a boss monster to appear.

The four slowly entered.

“Quieter than expected, huh?”

“Normally, a boss monster or guardian should attack by now.”

Just as they reached the center, a voice suddenly rang out.

“Oh my, what cute children~”

The voice was coming from the ceiling.

All four looked up simultaneously.

[The dungeon boss, the Spider Queen Puppet, has appeared.]

The ceiling was covered in spider webs.

In the center sat a woman dressed in black.

She lazily looked down with a relaxed expression.

‘That’s the boss monster…’

It didn’t look as scary as expected.

Rather, the two-headed snake seemed more threatening.

However, considering its high intelligence, it might be more dangerous.

“Hehe, what an interesting party? So where are you guys from-”

“Unforgivable!”

Suddenly, Young-hee shouted.

Startled for a moment, the others turned to look at Young-hee.

Ignoring their reactions, Young-hee pointed accusingly at the puppet with a bright red face.

“T-That indecent outfit! How disgraceful! A-At the very least, you should be wearing clothes!”

What was she saying to a monster?

Well, Young-hee did have a point.

The puppet had an overwhelming bust and wide hips,

a body made to openly seduce men.

And the outfit she wore covered less area than underwear.

It barely covered the important parts.

If anything, it brought to mind why certain things don’t get censored.

“Hehe, kiddo. This is what adult charm is.”

“That’s nonsense! T-That’s harassment! Harassment, I tell you!”

The Spider Queen bent her body and smirked as if amused.

Her massive chest jiggled with the movement.

No joke, it felt like there were two extra faces attached.

With that state and barely covering the nipples,

the enormous mass of flesh naturally caught the eye.

If she weren’t a monster, she’d be quite an attractive woman.

No, for some specific tastes, one might shout “possibility”…

“A-anyway, that’s way too revealing! Even monsters should dress properly!”

“Hmm, unlike you, that gentleman over there seems to think differently. Looks like he’s already excited looking at this older sister?”

Paf!

All three heads whipped around faster than ever.

Absolutely overwhelming aggro!

The effect was tremendous!

Yu-jin, suddenly receiving intense stares, felt his defense drop!

“…”

Is this what they call silent pressure?

Her gaze was too sharp.

Sharp enough to make you wonder if it could stab someone to death.

Yu-jin’s face turning red, coughed awkwardly before speaking.

“Eh…Ahem, ahem! This is something no man can resist!”

“……Mr. Kim Yu-jin, you will remain tucked in the corner until the end without looking this way.”

Lime turned her head after throwing a glob of liquid monster at Yu-jin’s face.

Then she glanced at the class president.

That explosive development.

Definitely intimidating.

“Grrr…”

Despite trying to cater to Yu-jin’s preferences,

is it natural for men to be drawn to breasts instinctively?

I need to seriously consider making this new body more glamorous.

Watching all this, the Spider Queen burst into giggles.

“Hoho, you guys are amusing. Binding up the girls and raping the boy right in front of them sounds fun. Isn’t that called reverse NTR?”

“……I’ll kill you.”

Behind Lime, green tentacles writhed.

In response, the puppet spread both arms wide.

Instantly, about a hundred spider monsters poured out.

“I’ll handle these,” the class president stepped forward eagerly.

Finally, it was time for the mage to shine.

Area magic was her specialty after all.

‘This is my chance to prove my worth to Yu-jin.’

From the start of the dungeon, she’d been thinking that.

The gradually increasing feelings of inferiority and anxiety.

She could feel they were eating away at her.

‘But here, even Yu-jin needs me!’

Until now, there hadn’t been a chance for the mage to step up.

Because the spaces had been too narrow.

In other words, this large-scale battle was precisely the mage’s forte!

Here she could definitively prove her value!

“Everyone, fall back-”

-Superior Blessing Roar of Light

Before the class president could cast her spell,

a sudden brilliant light erupted.

None other than Young-hee.

The light emanating from Young-hee incinerated all hundred spiders instantly.

And swish!

-Pop!

The Spider Queen’s neck was cleanly severed by Lime’s tentacle under the blinding light.

Thud. Her head hit the ground.

“……Huh?”

The class president stood there with a blank expression.

Unable to immediately grasp the situation.

Lime’s attack…yeah, that made sense.

But what about Young-hee?

How could support-oriented Young-hee use that level of offensive magic?

Especially in her memory-loss state?

Apparently thinking the same thing, Lime spoke to Young-hee.

“Hey, what did you just do?”

“What? The magic just now?”

“Yeah, that was far beyond normal. You didn’t have that much mana originally.”

After all, Young-hee’s role was support.

While fighting supports weren’t unheard of,

those were usually special cases like saint-level wielders of divine power.

‘Supports focused on buffs and healing shouldn’t have combat power.’

If they could do everything – buff, self-heal, and fight strongly,

they’d basically be the strongest type of support.

In other words, the scene Young-hee just displayed could be considered top-tier without exaggeration.

“Eh, I’m not too sure myself. Ever since losing my memory, my power kept overflowing. I guess I could just use it?”

Lime slowly nodded.

“Hmm, maybe the magic pathways opened during that previous overdrive had a positive effect?”

After all, Young-hee was someone who could unleash mana like a cannon earlier.

If her body had adapted to that level of mana to some degree?

‘That power that even blew Chul-soo away. It’s not surprising she has this level of skill.’

Young-hee always had good mana control anyway.

With sufficient mana, this level of performance wouldn’t be difficult.

“Wow, impressive. To be honest, I was scared of spiders. Thanks to you, I survived.”

“A-Ah, not at all! I’ve only been receiving help until now. But if I was able to be useful, I’m glad, hehe!”

Young-hee shyly smiled at Yu-jin’s praise.

From a distance,

the class president watched the scene.

“……”

Ah, this is dangerous.

I’m starting to dislike myself more and more.

Please.

I want to stop feeling this dirty jealousy and inferiority.

‘Am I even envying Young-hee now?’

No matter what.

Without showing anything as the class president hoped,

the dungeon expedition ended.

-Creak.
