Volume 4 Chapter 21 The Treatment is Over and the Aftershocks Begin
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”H-hey, seriously, man… is that for real?”
”This is…”
”Wh-what in the world is happening?”
Fujiki, a member of the Kirari Squad, had just completed the ‘Lymphatic Massage’ treatment, which was set up right beside the communal bath. Now finished, Fujiki climbed out of the bath and stood there, planting his feet firmly like a great warrior.
”It’s incredible… power is surging right through me!” Fujiki practically roared, his voice thick with wonder. “What even is this? My body feels so light… My stamina is completely restored, I could conquer the dungeon all over again right now!”
The ‘Lymphatic Massage’ Effect had taken hold instantly. The treatment not only cleared the fatigue Fujiki had accumulated from their latest dungeon dive but seemingly wiped away all the exhaustion he had built up over his entire life.
However, if you looked around Fujiki, you could see moisture—his own bodily fluids—splashed everywhere. Everyone who had been watching the entire treatment process understood exactly what that meant.
”I never thought I’d see a guy reaching a cl*max like that…” one squad member murmured.
”It’s clearly a powerful Effect, alright, but being watched while it happens is…” another trailed off, a hint of awkwardness in his tone.
”I-I was the only one who had to be embarrassed, you guys! You all need to try it, too!” Fujiki whined, his initial excitement replaced by deep mortification.
The Kirari Squad recognized the power of the Effect, but the nature of the treatment itself gave them pause. The sight of the tentacle slime enveloping and gently massaging Fujiki’s body felt uncomfortably similar to a rather intimate spa session. The fact that the other members had been watching made it nearly impossible for them to take that first step.
”In any case, we should report back to Kirari-sama,” Hongo, the squad leader, decided. “We’ll likely be heading back home for the day after this, you see.” Hongo resolved not to undergo the ‘Lymphatic Massage’ and waited instead for Kirari’s own session to conclude.

”Ah-nn… Ooh, ooh… Ah-hih! ♡”
Kirari was driven to ultimate sensation in every corner of her body. She lay on the treatment table, trembling and convulsing until, finally, she passed out. It was the most intense pleasure she had ever experienced, and an unprecedented volume of moisture had been expelled from her lower body, drenching the entire area.
Several minutes later.
”Kirari-sama! Are you in there?! Are you awake?!” Hongo’s urgent voice rattled the door from the outside.
The sound of the knock finally roused Kirari, who had been unconscious.
”W-what…? Me… AAAAHHH!” Kirari shrieked, suddenly realizing her state.
”Kirari-sama! Kirari-sama!” Hongo called out, sounding genuinely worried.
”I-I’m fine! Don’t open the door! Don’t you dare open it!” she commanded, thoroughly flustered.
”Ah, well… it seems the door can only be opened by the person inside… so you can rest easy there! In any event, I’m glad you’re awake. Could you please come out when you are ready?”
”V-very well, I say… Just give me a moment, if you please.”
The door’s mechanism allowed only the person inside to open it.
Though she was in a panic, Kirari quickly realized the situation she was in, grabbed a nearby bath towel, and began frantically wiping herself down. Once her preparations were complete, she slowly opened the door.
”Hah… hah… S-sorry to keep you waiting…” she gasped, still breathless.
”K-Kirari-sama…!”
Kirari’s face was still flushed, and her body was warm to the touch. Her whole demeanor—her expression, her trembling legs—all created an intensely seductive atmosphere that deeply stimulated the Kirari Squad members.
Up until now, the squad had never felt any kind of desire for Kirari, given her childlike physique. She was so small, she could easily be mistaken for an elementary school student if she wore a backpack.
But the current Kirari? Something had shifted. A pheromone or some inner essence was radiating from her, making her appear overwhelmingly sensual.
Every member of the Kirari Squad swallowed hard, but they held their urges in check and pressed on with the mission.
”Kirari-sama, are we retreating for the day? Also, I have a report to deliver about our experience—”
”Yes, please do. Let us use a Scroll to exit the dungeon, I say.”
”Understood.”
With that, the Kirari Squad retrieved their magic-sealing item—a Scroll—and used it to teleport out of the dungeon.

”Hmm…”
Hirose finished observing the Kirari Squad’s actions and rested his chin in his hand, deep in thought.
”Hirose, what’s up with you?” Hibiki (Female) asked.
”Oh, nothing much, you see.”
”Come on, spit it out if you’ve got something to say,” she teased, gently urging him on.
Hirose slowly began to speak. “I was thinking… I might have gone a bit too far. The ‘Beauty Dungeon’ was originally created with the wish for people to become more beautiful. But while tiring them out with traps is fine, melting their armor and gear… I mean, it’s entertaining to watch, but are adventurers really going to want to come back repeatedly after that?”
Hirose had enjoyed the show at first. But truly troubled people who wanted to improve themselves would start coming to the dungeon soon. Not everyone would come purely for the sake of dungeon-crawling, like Kirari’s group. Once the information about the successful adventurers spread, people seeking ‘Beauty’ would arrive. Hirose worried whether those adventurers would want to return again and again.
”You’re right, dissolving their armor might have been too much, I admit… Still, I think that girl, Kirari, is absolutely coming back, you know?” Hibiki conceded her mistake, yet insisted Kirari would return. Hirose questioned why, even though he, of all people, should have realized the answer.
”Look, she got such an incredible rush from the treatment, didn’t she? She might come for the beauty objective, but I think it’s going to become an addiction,” Hibiki explained.
”Ah… I wonder about that,” Hirose mused, unconvinced.
”Well, even we can’t get enough of you touching us… I think a similar thing is going to happen to her.”
Kirari had just experienced a sensation that was impossible to achieve normally, either alone or with another person. That intense, addictive pleasure was the inherent risk of Hirose’s skill.
”Perhaps you’re right… In any case, let’s stop dissolving their gear for now, but keep everything else as it is to see what happens,” Hirose decided.
”As you command, Master.” Ecoa responded to Hirose’s order by initiating changes within the dungeon’s structure.
”What should we do now? We’ll just be watching if we stay here,” Hibiki asked.
”Hmm. What do you all think?” Hirose turned the question to the others.
”I can drink tea and talk with everyone, so I’m happy to stay here just as we are,” Koharu stated.
”I agree. As long as I am with everyone, I’m fine,” Kirino (Female) added.
”I also have no problem staying here for a while,” Saori confirmed.
However, one person held a different view.
”Ah-bah… C-can I… go and look around the dungeon for a bit?” Asami stammered out, an unusual request for her.
”Yes, of course you can. Just come back if any adventurers show up, though.”
”Ah, thank you so much!”
Given that Asami had challenged various dungeons before, Hirose surmised that she must have been curious about his current creation. He granted her permission, allowing her to go wherever she wished.

Summary:
Following the grueling dungeon adventure, the Kirari Squad takes a break for the unique ‘Lymphatic Massage’—a restorative healing treatment with utterly embarrassing side effects. Fujiki is the first to experience the intense power-up and recovery, but his humiliation sets a precedent that makes the other adventurers hesitant. Meanwhile, Kirari-sama succumbs completely to the overwhelming pleasure, leaving her in a deep state of exhaustion and stimulating arousal. As the squad retreats using a magic scroll, the Dungeon Master, Hirose, debates the severity of his beauty traps, fearing they are too punishing for future adventurers. His assistant, Hibiki, assures him that the addictive pleasure of the service will guarantee Kirari’s return, regardless of the danger. The decision is made to ease up on the traps, while one assistant, Asami, chooses to explore the newly modified magic dungeon.

Character Insight:
This chapter shows the conflicting nature of Kirari-sama: her authoritative persona dissolves completely under the force of ultimate sensation, yet her flushed and stimulated state enhances her aura, making her newly appealing to her devoted, though previously un-drawn, adventurer squad. Her physical smallness is temporarily overshadowed by an inner sensual power. For Hirose, the Dungeon Master, his creative joy is tempered by a growing ethical concern over the balance between dungeon challenge and true beauty improvement for his future customers.

Behind the Scene:
The ‘Lymphatic Massage’ scene functions as a high-risk, high-reward buff service that acts as a physical and emotional reset for the characters. The author uses this scene to demonstrate the extreme efficacy of the dungeon’s services while introducing a comedic/awkward barrier to entry (the embarrassment of the treatment itself) to prevent the adventurers from constantly spamming the buff. Hirose’s internal debate reflects a necessary plot adjustment to ensure the dungeon remains a recurring challenge and not a one-time gimmick for the fantasy world.
Notes:
• Fujiki – Another subordinate of Kirari, a young man with spiky brown hair and an average build, wearing light armor. He is prone to mistakes under pressure, such as nearly drowning Kirari with an over-powered blast of water.
• Hongo – A loyal subordinate of Kirari Amano, a mature, muscular man with short black hair and a beard, wearing heavy, functional armor. He prioritizes his leader’s safety and well-being.
• Ecoa – The Guardian of the Dungeon Core, a beautiful entity with long blonde hair, slit eyes, and distinctive pointed ears reminiscent of an elf. She initially appears in black ceremonial robes, which instantly transform into a revealing, classic black maid uniform. Her existence was previously undetectable by ‘Appraisal’ Gifts. Her sole purpose is to serve and support the Dungeon Master, Hirose.
• Kirino – Strikingly beautiful with blue long hair (F, 168cm), Kirino is gifted with ice magic and feels isolated because of her appearance. Hirose’s Beauty skill helps her improve her self-image and social comfort, directly affecting Kirino’s relationship with her family and classmates.
