Chapter 132: Crown. Retrieved!!

I fall to my knees and aim the Glock directly at Deherit’s back!

*Bang! Bang!*

"Flame barrier!"

Deherit deftly concealed herself behind the irregular, protruding tombstones that resembled lumbar vertebrae, a barrier of flames obscuring my vision as she sprinted away.

I gave chase, and upon entering the next room, a fiery downpour rained from the ceiling.

"Tch!"

I nimbly evaded the fiery onslaught.

"Nami! Are you alright?"

"Yes, yes!"

Nami, however, seemed to be suffering from the intense heat. Her talent for revealing vulnerabilities was ill-suited against Deherit’s mastery over fire. I needed to find an opening.

Deherit glanced my way, a sinister smirk on her face as she clutched a blazing inferno in both hands.

"Now that I think about it, I have absolutely no reason to flee from a wretch like you," she taunted.

"Hey, do you have some terrible memories with Fleshlight or something?"

"This is a matter of honor! This academy is no place for a nobody like you!"

"Shall we have a duel without any interference? How about that?"

I lowered my gun and posed the question.

"A one-on-one battle, like true warriors. Let’s see who comes out on top."

"Agreed!"

Deherit Ade began to amass an even greater concentration of fiery power.

"Nami!"

Nami dashed forward and delivered a drop-kick to Ade’s torso as she was casting a spell.

"Take that! Fleshlight kick!"

"Ugh, what!?"

Forget one-on-one!

I charged ahead and stomped relentlessly on Deherit.

"Fleshlight Doppelganger Combat Technique!"

Unleashing a group attack!

*Thwack! Thwack!*

"Gah, oof, ah!?"

"I can’t stand you either! Let’s see how you like it!"

*Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!!*

Deherit curled her body and cried out, exposed to the unrelenting onslaught from Nami and me.

"You said it’d be one-on-one, you cowardly..."

"You were never alone to begin with!"

"Dragon’s breath, the pillar of fire!"

Nami and I evaded the blazing column and retreated.

Deherit, battered and bruised, looked our way with swollen eyes, gasping for air.

"Take a breather."

I aimed at her with my Benelli and issued a warning.

"Next round is ’Moonlight’."

"I refuse to admit defeat! Do you think I’ll lose to a D-class Fleshlight Collector? I am Deherit Ade!"

"Then keep your eyes peeled."

Just as I was about to force Deherit to retreat with the ’Moonlight Bullet,’ a familiar sensation of time stopping seeped through my body.

Huh?

Mira, the goddess of lustbound?

Was this the right moment for her to appear?

Just as I was about to stylishly finish off Benelli, a tiny blonde goddess peeked out.

"Ren, why aren’t you activating the Soul Excretion?"

"Why should I? I can win without activating it."

"But it’s a waste. You can create a Fleshlight with Deherit’s jelly."

"..."

What are you saying, oh goddess?

"Make a Fleshlight and use it where..."

"Well, you can sell it at a high price. As punishment for making Ren suffer, let the extracted personality be used by a devilish cock until it becomes a mere rag."

"Since when did Lustbound become so gruesome?! We don’t do such terrible things to our peers."

"Did you know you can insert the extracted personality into a female Fleshlight and make it submit to the pleasure of a vagina?!"

"..."

I lowered my gun, momentarily dumbfounded.

Oh, Lord.

Have mercy on this lewd and corrupted soul.

That very thought made me, a lifelong non-believer, start seeking divine guidance.

"I don’t want to do such a thing to a being with male chromosomes."

"Huh? If I were to insert my personality into a Fleshlight and transform it into a vagina, I could engage in scenarios like, ’Why did I become a woman?’ and ’Ah, Ren’s cock feels so much better now’?"

"Argh! Shit! Don’t make me envision that!"

I cursed wholeheartedly for the first time in a while.

This goddess had appeared after such a long time, and this is what she suddenly brings up!

No way...

"In a game, why would you constantly pair me with filthy male characters? Were you planning to introduce such bizarre content?"

For the first time, I empathized with Deherit.

"You could modify their personality to make them believe they were actually women."

"Would you really create such malicious content?!"

Mira clicked her tongue as if she had no clue.

"You still haven’t outgrown your innocent shell, have you, Ren? Trembling over such a mild play."

"It’s about shedding the human shell!"

"Aw~. The play of turning a man into a vagina and making his cock submit can be quite enjoyable too."

"That’s because you’re a woman."

Frankly, I feel disgusted just by the thought of it.

"Because I’m straight. That kind of content won’t do."

"Even if a robber points a gun at his head and says, ’Turn Deherit into a pussy and screw her, or I’ll shoot’?"

"Would there even be such a robber?"

"Tsk. Ren, your use of jelly is far too clean. Are you satisfied just watching a female student slathering herself in the gooey substance?"

Satisfied?

It’s already overly stimulating.

A blonde beauty is baring her porcelain derriere and rolling her eyes back as she spreads the gooey jelly over herself.

That’s already more than stimulating enough.

"Technically, it’s not just about watching."

"It would be really great if you could try a bit more variety."

"Enough with the advice; get in there. You rascal."

"Don’t forget, you can always use fellatio and instant shameless mating anywhere, okay?"

"..."

Whenever I forget, she reminds me.

"You can obtain her beautiful pussy right away, you know?"

"Leave before I use it on you."

"Kyaa~~!"

The time stop is released.

Before any other thoughts could take hold, I fired the moonlit rubber bullet into Deherit’s thigh.

*Crash!!*

"Argh!!"

Deherit’s thigh veins might have all burst. She collapses with a tremendous noise.

"I won, Deherit."

"Damn it. Damn it...!!"

Frustrated, Deherit slams her fist onto the ground. In the world of men, that would have been enough.

By now, even she must have come to her senses. It must have been excruciatingly painful for someone so used to spewing verbal abuse. Leaving Deherit behind, drooling and panting in pain, I ran to find the crown. Fortunately, the rebel NPCs were guarding it without a scratch.

"Olaf!"

"Ah, brother! You’re here? Look at what we’ve found."

[Crown Acquired: Pt + 100]

[Queen’s Crown Acquired]

It’s a beautiful tiara, adorned with countless jewels. I carefully lifted it, taking care not to damage it.

[Dungeon Clear!]

[The Rebels Have Obtained the Crown!]

"Carry!"

"Yay!"

*Slap!*

I shared a high-five of joy with Nami.

"Are we done here?"

"Let’s go clean up the remaining Imperial forces."

Our transparent Fleshlight has been incredibly helpful.

Nami grinned sheepishly, as if deciphering the look in my eyes.

"Should I provide more magical assistance if it proves helpful?"

"It hasn’t been long since you were granted agility."

"Ah, I’m your loyal servant. I’ll transform into a more useful Fleshlight."

"Let’s go and wrap things up!"

---

**Yuna** lowered her bow, having confirmed with her own eyes that the twin sisters had been defeated. There was no point in providing supporting fire any longer. She had managed to help the twins fight without being disturbed by the mage, as much as she could.

’I confirmed my brother’s affiliation...’

She had no intention of harming her brother, but somehow their affiliations had ended up on opposing sides. It was good news for Yuna that her squad members, Sol and Sarika, were with her brother. However, she couldn’t simply run off to join the Imperial Army wearing a name tag.

Yuna decided to do her best in her current position. She knew her brother would welcome her efforts.

But she couldn’t help feeling heavy-hearted. She had fired her arrows in a way that wouldn’t directly hit her brother, but still...

"Yuna, are you listening?"

"Ah. Brigid..."

Brigid, who approached from behind, was a first-year student like Yuna. She was a female student clad in heavy armor so thick that her school uniform was completely hidden from view.

"Let’s head to the battlefield as well."

"Alright. You go first. I’ll follow."

Yuna, playing as an Imperial Army player alongside Brigid, who possessed strong defensive abilities, managed to earn more than 100 points in just two rounds.

She had been hoping that her brother would be part of the Imperial Army, but now she knew he belonged to the opposing faction.

*Whoosh.*

Yuna aimed her bow at the back of Brigid’s head.

"Don’t blame yourself for the twin sisters’ loss just now. Go and lend your strength to the others; they’ll appreciate it."

"Okay..."

Brigid likely knew that Yuna’s brother was Ren Asahi, yet she showed no suspicion or doubt. It seemed like she never even considered the possibility of Yuna turning against her.

Yuna couldn’t bring herself to shoot an arrow at the back of her fellow tanker’s head, a person who had such pure and unwavering faith in her.

’I can’t change roles by hurting others.’

Yuna truly loved her brother, but this time, it seemed like she had no choice but to resent the divine force that had placed them on opposing sides.

"...Sigh..."

"...Yuna. You really do love your brother, don’t you?"

Yuna was taken aback.
