Chapter 48
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Dungeon’s 2nd District.
In a deserted area inside, Iris ordered Seria to strip with a flat voice.
I thought for a moment that Seria might be hiding a catalyst in her clothes, but it seems that wasn’t the case.
Well, if she was hiding it, she could have secretly put it back in her bag before coming here.
So why is Iris trying to make Seria undress? Ah, does she suspect her of taking loot?
However, it seems Seria had a different thought and resisted.
”Um… I-I don’t agree to ‘that’, so if the church finds out, I might be in a position where they won’t send you a Clerics in the future…”
It seems she thought she would be punished with a s*xual act.
”We have no plans for that due to certain circumstances. You don’t need to worry.”
Iris cut off Seria’s words sharply, but… is she angry?
Maybe sensing my doubt from the atmosphere, Iris explained her intention behind the order.
”This girl underestimated us… or rather, you. From her current attitude, she might have tried to change her mind after realizing your strength, but if we go easy on her now, it could affect us later.”
”Later?”
”Yes. To put it simply, she might spill the beans about the catalyst, right? Well, even if that happens, we could cover it up, but I want to avoid any unnecessary trouble.”
”Well, that’s true, but…”
Seria argued back against Iris and me.
”I didn’t mean to…”
”I’m afraid I can only say that in this situation, that’s not possible. In other words, no matter how you put it, we can’t accept it honestly.”
”Ugh…”
Seria groans, realizing that her words have no trust.
At that moment, I jump in.
”So, what do you plan to do after taking it off?”
”Tie her up and give her to a goblin or something.”
”Wait, what!?”
Seria raises her voice in surprise and accusation at Iris’s suggestion, but then Iris swings her arm again.
*Smack!*
”Ouch!”
With the second shock to her rear, Seria lets out a pained sound.
”Ugh, no way…”
”…”
Seria continues to groan after the shock of her punishment.
Iris silently watches her, then suggests a compromise.
”How about with Mose?”
”Huh?”
This time, I also voice my surprise, and we both exclaim in shock.
”No, what are you…?”
Just as I was about to say that, Seria answered.
”If that’s the case… well…”
Saying that, Seria tries to take off her belt.
Of course, I try to stop her.
”Wait, wait, why is it coming to ‘this’? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t do that?”
In response to my words, Seria removes her belt and places it on the ground along with her bag.
”That’s true, but… I don’t know how many goblins I might face. Besides, I accepted Mr. Mose’s request because I heard there was only one man, which is you.”
”So, does that mean… if it’s a strong adventurer and there’s only ‘one’ opponent, it’s okay to use your body?”
”Well, if it’s just one person, I can hold them accountable in case something happens. But generally, powerful people have many allies, and unless they have a lot of authority, they can’t monopolize women. Especially when it comes to bringing women into a dungeon, the options are very limited, so you need even more power to monopolize.”
”I get that, but… hmm.”
The larger the group, even powerful adventurers might be suppressed by sheer numbers, and there’s a chance that dissatisfied allies could betray them.
So, unless someone is really important, I guess you have to accept sharing.
Even if I understand it, I can’t agree because I’ve never been part of such a group, right?
”Well then…”
*Swish…*
While I was thinking about that, Seria knelt down and quickly took off her robe, revealing a typical underwear set with a short tank top-like bra and string panties.
The bottom of the bra is a bit too short, exposing the lower half of her chest.
”How, how do I look…?”
She glances at me while asking for my opinion, lifting the bottom of her bra to show me the front.
Overall shape and size are undeniably attractive… she’s a beauty, after all.
But…
”Calm down. We’re in a dungeon, and we don’t know when people or monsters might come.”
”That’s true, but… um, what will happen with the catalyst after the punishment is over?”
”Huh? I’ll go to your lodging to collect it all.”
”!”
At my response, Seria once again performs a deep bow.
”Um, um! I know it’s bold of me to ask after doing something like this, but can I still accompany you in the future!?”
”Eh…?”
I felt that her request was quite bold, but I still needed to confirm a few things.
”Is it because you want to enhance the healing magic’s effect?”
”Yes.”
”There’s someone you really want to heal, right?”
”Yes.”
”Do you think that person would allow you to use your body for their sake?”
”Well…”
From the looks of it, she seems to care about them a lot, and that’s probably why she hasn’t used her body until now.
So, did she think she could deceive that person if I was the only one involved and asked me to join?
I continued to question Seria.
”Is there anything else we can do besides using your body? If you can use healing magic, can’t you use other types of magic too?”
Iris answered this question.
”Mose, Clerics basically can’t use any magic other than healing.”
”Really? Is that true?”
If someone saw the catalyst that arrived at the dorm, Seria had said it was for her practice.
I felt a moment of panic, but I relaxed when I heard her next words.
”Well, it seems there’s a chance it’s not impossible.”
So, it’s okay if there’s a record of Seria buying magic catalysts.
Just as I was feeling relieved, she pleaded again.
”Um! I think it’ll be fine as long as you keep using my body a secret. Please enjoy yourself without worrying about it… so I’m asking you!”
”Even if you say that…”
If I don’t say anything, it means that the person she wants to heal isn’t a guy, right?
But I’ve heard that women are sensitive to that kind of atmosphere, so maybe that person is actually a guy.
No matter what, even if she stays quiet, it seems like others will talk about me accompanying her, and from that, they might guess the conditions for my help based on her low healing ability.
…It definitely won’t be seen in a good light.
If that’s the case, it’s safer not to get involved, and that means there’s no benefit in having us, who don’t need healing magic, accompanied by her.
No, right now, since I can’t use the “magic thread” I’m keeping secret, it’s just a disadvantage.
So, just when I was thinking of refusing… Iris jumped in.
”Well, putting aside the body issue, how about being in a position to follow Mose both inside and outside the dungeon?”
”Are you saying she’d be hired continuously?”
”Yes. However, we’ll also add a condition that she can’t tell anyone about us, and we’ll create a contract with a high penalty for breaking it.”
If selling information leads to a huge loss… then there’s no benefit in selling it.
The problem is…
”It depends on the effectiveness of that contract. Can it still be valid if she claims she doesn’t remember it?”
Even with a penalty set, if there’s no legal power to guarantee the contract’s content, it would be pointless if someone denies it.
Iris answered that question.
”As long as you create a document with your name on it and keep it safe, there shouldn’t be a problem. Right?”
”Huh? Oh, yes! If you bring the contract to the church with the contractor, they will check it and guarantee its validity if it’s deemed legitimate.”
Seria, who was asked to explain, took over and clarified that there seems to be a system for that.
It’s unclear whether it’s a person or an object, but it seems there’s something at the church that can make that judgment.
”So, does that mean we can create the contract anywhere?”
”That makes sense. I’m not an expert, but I’ve heard about it from my family.”
”Wow…”
Hearing that from Iris means there was someone close by who had to make a contract.
At least, I never heard about it in my family.
Well, I only lived there until I was 5, and it’s a different country, so I can’t say much.
For now, it seems fine to create a contract here… the rest is about the content and Seria’s agreement.
”How about ‘absolute obedience to Mose’? That should work, right, Mose? No matter the dungeon.”
”Okay, let’s go with that.”
When I asked the two about the contract details, they wrapped it up in about 5 seconds.
”Wait, is that really okay? Absolute obedience?”
I checked with Seria,
”Yes. Actually, I was thinking of joining a big company soon. The contract would probably be similar, and there’s a chance they might not take me to the dungeon, so I thought Mr. Mose would be better.”
So… the content didn’t change, and I took out some paper and writing tools (that I pretended to pull out) to create the contract.
Once the contract was mostly finished, I handed it and the writing tools to Seria for her to sign.
”Um, the penalty for breach of contract isn’t written here…”
She pointed that out, and I replied,
”You can write any amount you want.”
”Eh!?… Then…”
Seria was surprised, but she quickly understood my intention and started writing down the penalty amount.
That amount was… 1 followed by ten 0s, 10 billion Oar.
”That kind of money, a normal person… no, unless they’re a really big shot, they can’t pay that.”
”Just think of it as the level of commitment I expect.”
Iris was shocked by the ridiculous amount, and Seria replied to her… then she signed it and handed it to me.
”Here you go.”
”…I see.”
After checking the contents and putting it away, the contract was established.
So… I gave my first order to Seria.
”Well then… let’s go with the first order.”
”Y-yes!”
Seria waited with a nervous expression to see what kind of order would be given.
The order for her was…
”Put on some clothes.”
