Chapter 134 Reconciliation
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
When I woke up and looked at the alarm clock, a ‘?’ mark floated above my head.
I usually wake up at 6:00 AM, but the short hand was pointing in the opposite direction from usual, so for a moment, I didn’t know what time it was. Staring intently at the dial with a sleep-addled head, I finally understood that it was now just before noon. I almost panicked as a conditioned reflex, but when I thought about it, there was no school¹, so there was no need to rush.
I let out a yawn as I slowly sat up. The heaviness of my body, distinct from muscle pain, brought back memories of last night.
It seems I managed to survive somehow. It’s a nostalgic feeling in many ways. Heh… it seems I had become completely soft, soaking in lukewarm water.
Fujisaki has a fairly strong sadistic streak, and taking advantage of my Level 1 status, she sometimes squeezes me intensely, but I never truly felt like I was going to die. Thinking about it now, she was actually quite gentle.
I stood up and got dressed, but whether it was because I slept well or thanks to my increased stamina, I could move more normally than I expected. When I washed my face in the washroom and went to the living room, Fujisaki was sitting on the sofa reading a manga.
”Oh, good morning, Takeru,” Fujisaki said.
”Yeah, morning.”
It wasn’t early at all, but it was the standard greeting. Fujisaki stared at me as if observing.
”…You really do look energetic,” she noted.
”Yeah, well, I’ve built up quite a bit of stamina. It’s the result of my training.”
”That’s not what I meant… oh well. More importantly, I heard from Chikako that you have something called the ‘Academy Daily Report’²? Let me see it for a bit.”
”Nu…”
I had kept quiet because things about me were mentioned in it, but if she’s already heard about it, it can’t be helped. It is a quick way to convey information about the Academy, anyway. For now, I handed Fujisaki issues one through four, which didn’t have anything about me in them.
”This is quite professional. The newspaper club over at your place is amazing. I mean, the fact that you have the leisure to make something like this means it’s really peaceful, isn’t it?”
Certainly, the Academy Daily Report is well-crafted. There are various information corners set up, and I look forward to reading it every time.
While I was talking to Fujisaki, Chikako and Himeno, who had heard our voices, came out of the kitchen.
”Tsucchi, morning!” Chikako called out.
”Yeah, morning.”
”Um… good morning,” Himeno added.
Himeno also called out to me, looking awkward. Having calmed down, she probably thinks she went too far. she kept glancing up at me as if gauging my mood. This was also a familiar pattern.
”Morning to you too, Himeno.”
When I spoke to her, her expression relaxed as if relieved, and she hugged me. She buried her face in the crook of my neck and went sniff-sniff, smelling me.
”I’m making potato salad with Chikako-senpai right now! It’ll be done soon, so please wait!”
”I’ll look forward to that.”
”I’m going to grill some sausages too, is that okay?” Chikako asked.
”Yeah, no problem.”
And then the two of them went back into the kitchen.
”Why are you turning the heat to high!? I told you low heat is fine!” Chikako shouted.
”Uu…! High heat makes me feel more secure!” Himeno cried back.
”Himecchi is banned from using high heat!”
”Auu…”
I could hear lively voices, but it made me feel anxious, so I decided not to listen.
After a while, the potato salad and some slightly blackened, charred sausages were served.
”Oh! This is delicious!”
”Oh, really. It has sliced onions in it,” Fujisaki noted.
The potato salad was a simple one with sliced cucumbers, onions, and boiled eggs, with a good kick of black pepper and mustard—it was quite tasty.
”I just acted as the Manager³; Himecchi was the one who made it!” Chikako bragged.
”Isn’t that great?”
”Yes! It seems even I can make this!”
Making potato salad is a chore because mashing the potatoes is manual labor, but for an Evold⁴, it shouldn’t be a struggle.
”But you don’t have to slice things in three seconds, so really, be careful. Watching you, I feel like you’re going to slice your fingers off too, and it’s terrifying,” Chikako warned.
”Yes! I’ll be careful!”
Himeno’s cooking style is so aggressive it’s bad for the heart. I started to feel sorry for Chikako, as if I were causing her trouble.
When lunch was over and Himeno and the others started cleaning up, Fujisaki began reading the Academy Daily Report intently.
”Isn’t the Special Zone⁵ at Takeru’s place unusually large? If this is only 8% of the total, it’s not even a town anymore.”
Fujisaki was looking at the map of the main street in the Special Zone with a serious face.
”I don’t know about other schools, but it certainly is quite large.”
The grounds of my Academy are quite vast, but there’s no doubt that this is even larger.
”The protectorate must have spent a lot on initial investment to attract it, but this scale should be quite rare. It’s probably ten times the size of our school. …Whoa! There’s even an amusement park! I’m starting to look forward to this!”
The Special Zone also has many mysteries. I don’t worry about it anymore, but Amahara-senpai and the others must have been looking into various things. Fujisaki probably has more information than we do, so I should listen to her story eventually (oi-oi).
In the afternoon, I decided to do some rocky mountain hiking. I set off with a backpack filled with forty-kilogram water bags. The Universal Potion⁶ inside becomes plain water when brought back, so I use it for boiling tea or making meals.
The three of them seemed to be following me. Valeria remained at the base and always did things like cleaning and laundry. Since she’s away from the game and has time on her hands, she works hard.
Himeno seemed like she was going to try to unlock a treasure chest behind a rock that had respawned. Apparently, the deeper the floor, the longer it takes to respawn; here it takes about 5 or 6 days. When it’s long, it can take over 10 days.
As soon as Himeno crouched down in front of the treasure chest, Fujisaki handed her a face guard like the ones used by welders.
”There are explosion-type traps here too. You’re a girl, so at least protect your face.”
”…Yes. Thank you very much.”
Himeno accepted it obediently and put on the face guard.
”If there’s an area-of-effect trap and you feel something’s off, immediately put more than five meters of distance. If your judgment is fast, you might be able to evade it.”
”Yes!”
And then Himeno easily disarmed the trap and showed that she had unlocked it.
”She’s good… though she’s so bold it’s scary to watch.”
Fujisaki praised Himeno with a complicated expression. Among the items that came out was a water bag, but unfortunately, it wasn’t a magic item. I haven’t been able to obtain a large-capacity water bag with a positive modifier yet.
I’m starting to feel a bit anxious about whether I can get it before we head back. To be honest, it was so long ago that I don’t even remember why Amahara-senpai was angry anymore, but for Amahara-senpai, it was just like yesterday. I should assume her anger hasn’t cooled down yet. I’ll have Himeno and the others actively collect treasure chests to obtain a water bag.
”Wow! Look, Tsuchimiya-senpai! There’s nothing all the way to the horizon!”
”Oh, this is a great view! We didn’t have the leisure to enjoy it before, did we?”
Himeno and Chikako were frolicking at the view from the summit.
It’s a landscape I see every day, but no matter how many times I see it, I’m overwhelmed by this sense of scale. Besides, seeing this together with Himeno feels special.
”I’m glad I could see it for the first time with Tsuchimiya-senpai!”
”Yeah, me too.”
I was also glad I could see Himeno’s first reaction. Seeing her look so cute, jumping up and down like a child, will probably only happen this first time. It’s what you’d call a first-time bonus.
”Ah! There’s something over there!”
”Really! What is that? It’s huge!”
Looking in the direction Himeno and the others were pointing, a giant creature was raising its head from the sand like a scythe, like a snake, quite far away.
”That’s a Sandworm⁷. At that size, I’d say it’s about two hundred meters long. There are occasionally abnormally grown individuals on this floor, so be careful.”
”Whoa, I’m glad we didn’t get attacked by something like that.”
’Normally, Sandworms about ten to twenty meters long would appear in these layers, but because they’ve gone feral, they grow without limits. An individual of that size must have lived for over two hundred years.’
Whether it found prey or not, the Sandworm, which looked like a giant earthworm, opened its large mouth and dived into the sand headfirst, disappearing just like that.
Oh, that gets me excited. I wonder if I could defeat it by detonating a magic technique inside it like I did with the Giant Roper⁸.
’…Don’t even think about fighting it. Even a Master Level party couldn’t kill that thing without powerful magic or magic techniques.’
Oops, did it show on my face? I’ll just nod with a serious expression.
Fujisaki, who dodged my thrust, seemed to step in but then vanished from my sight with Vanishing Step⁹. However, with my concentration heightened, I was clearly capturing Fujisaki’s position.
Without looking, I swung my stick behind me as I turned around, but Fujisaki was also sticking to my back in sync with my movements. I evaded Fujisaki’s attack, which came from behind as she crouched to sweep my legs, with a front flip. But this airtime is a perfect target if Fujisaki has the speed. I already know that after trying it many times. As expected, Fujisaki closed the distance while slashing upward with the returning blade.
Now!
I activated Blast¹⁰ and flew in the opposite direction as if kicking an invisible wall in mid-air. In my vision, which rotated as if in reverse, I could see Fujisaki’s back. A perfect chance!
But the force of the Blast was too strong. The distance increased more than expected, and I knew that even if I thrust, I wouldn’t reach Fujisaki’s receding back. I activated Blast once more in mid-air and charged toward Fujisaki’s back.
Fujisaki dodged the attack from behind with a side jump. Having landed while scattering sand, I transitioned to an attack as I turned around. This is exactly spear distance. It would be just as I hoped if she backed away, but as expected, Fujisaki also understands my strengths after fighting many times. Instead, she closed the distance and slashed at me.
The wooden sword and wooden stick clashed violently. If I took it head-on, I, being inferior in strength, would be blown away, but I tilted the stick while shifting my grip to change the fulcrum and smoothly parried it.
I immediately followed up on Fujisaki, who had lost her balance. Just thrusting from spear distance won’t easily hit Fujisaki. One cannot snatch a win by running away from competing within sword range.
In close combat, the more maneuverable sword is advantageous when the distance is suddenly closed. A stance with a wide grip and the stick held horizontally has high defensive power, and since attacks can be launched from either the left or right, I also have more moves. Of course, high skill is essential to utilize that, but the spear technique forms also emphasize close combat movements. I’ve had little chance to use them until now, but through training with Fujisaki, this has also gradually been polished.
Fujisaki became purely defensive against the fast continuous left and right strikes that rode the momentum. When I sent a counter while parrying an attack she had forced back, it struck Fujisaki’s collarbone from directly above.
”One point! The winner is Tsuchimiya-senpai!” Himeno announced.
”Yes! With this, I’m ahead!”
In the big match that started at two wins and two losses. In a five-point match, it was my first time taking the lead against Fujisaki.
”Why do you suddenly get strong! Your movements are completely different from before!” Fujisaki complained.
”Because Himeno is watching.”
”Hawa… ah, it’s the power of love!”
I intended to do it seriously until now, but it seems I was completely lacking in desperation. I can’t show a pathetic side in front of Himeno. If she thinks I’m weak, I’m anxious that she’ll think about protecting me again.
Feeling as if a spear point were pressed against my back, my concentration heightened all at once, and for some reason, I could tell Fujisaki’s movements as if I were holding them in my hands, down to the slight movements of her fingertips, even outside my field of vision. It’s a sensation similar to what I felt when I fought Himeno, but it feels different from presence sensing.
Before I forget this sensation, I move on to special training with Himeno.
I was able to parry more than half of the attacks from a distance of five meters, which I hadn’t succeeded in once yesterday. Even for the ones I failed, I was able to react. The rest is a matter of technique, so I have no choice but to practice repeatedly.
Feeling a solid response, the day’s training ended.
* * *
”Uu…”
Asagiri Himeno’s hand, which was peeling the shell of a boiled egg, stopped dead. A considerable amount of egg white was stuck to the peeled shell. She failed again. She didn’t know what was wrong herself, so she had no choice but to keep practicing.
”Let me take over for a bit.”
Fujisaki, unable to watch, stepped in and took one boiled egg submerged in a bowl filled with water to show her.
”There’s a trick to this too. First, put light cracks all over…”
Fujisaki tapped to put cracks on the corner of the sink while rotating the boiled egg with one hand.
”Sometimes the body itself cracks at this point for you, so be really careful to only do it to the surface, so as not to damage the egg white.”
”Yes…”
”Valeria, the faucet, please.”
”Yes, yes.”
When Fujisaki called out, water flowed down from the air above the sink. It became a single line, just like tap water coming out of a faucet, and fell into the bowl Fujisaki designated with her fingertip.
”A little stronger.”
The force of the water became slightly stronger. Fujisaki put the boiled egg she held into the running water as if washing it.
”Peel just a little bit of the shell… and then try to let the running water in between the membrane and the egg white. Then just by lifting it slightly… see?”
”Ah…!”
The shell peeled off smoothly like magic in Fujisaki’s hand. And then a beautifully peeled boiled egg was placed on the plate.
”You’re dexterous with your hands, so once you know the trick, you’ll be able to do it soon. Here, try it.”
”Yes! Thank you very much!”
”…Also, after that’s finished, I’ll teach you kinpira gobo too.”
”Eh!? Is that okay!? I-isn’t that Fujisaki-san’s finishing move…!”
”No, it’s not such a grand thing. The fact that you easily imitated my Vanishing Step is far more of a shock.”
”Ha… yes! Thank you very much! Fujisaki-senpai!”
”Yes, yes. I’ll get ready, so do it calmly.”
Turning her back to Himeno, who was bowing happily, Fujisaki went to the living room to have Tina bring out the ingredients.
”See? She’s cute, right?” Chikako teased.
”W-well, I’ll admit she’s obedient.”
Averting her eyes from Chikako, who was grinning, Fujisaki returned to the kitchen with the ingredients.
* * *
Dinner was simmered fish, kinpira gobo, and boiled eggs, plus rice and miso soup.
The dinner table, where Himeno’s mood suddenly improved, had a peaceful atmosphere. It was a huge difference from yesterday. I could tell immediately that Himeno seemed to have recognized Fujisaki as a senpai. In any case, it’s a relief. I want to avoid an atmosphere where my stomach hurts during a meal.
”I’ll go get the Nectar¹¹.”
When the meal was over, Valeria, who had been serving, went out into the hallway. Apparently, one of what used to be a bedroom is connected to a storage room, but I hadn’t seen it yet, so I followed her for some reason.
”We’ve been consuming Nectar ever since we came here, but is the stock okay?”
”It’s fine. The things we’ve harvested before are also preserved with magic, so there’s no need to worry at all.”
Following Valeria, who opened the wooden door and entered the room, I also stepped into the room that smelled sweet.
”Whoa!?”
Inside the spacious room, countless baskets of Nectar were spread out haphazardly, leaving no place to step. Two-tiered wooden shelves were attached to the walls, but baskets of Nectar were also placed there, leaving no space.
I also eat them without a care, but this fruit alone was supposed to have such incredible value that it would cause an uproar.
”There are eleven more rooms like this one.”
”Are you an idiot!?”
Was this girl about to forget this and dump it into an alternate space? I should be careful not to be caught off guard by Valeria’s carelessness.
”This one room is about a hundred years’ worth. Thanks to the recovery spring, we can harvest year-round, so we harvest about two hundred a year.”
That means there are about twenty thousand in this room. And with twelve rooms… that’s on the scale of tons. It seems there’s no problem even if I keep eating for a lifetime.
”Shall I put them in ‘Storage’?”
”Just the portion in this room for now…”
Thinking about going around to all the rooms, I felt very lazy.
* * *
”Chikako! I’m going to spray¹²!”
”Uan! It’s okay, spray a lot!”
I released my seeds into Chikako, whom I had pinned down for the final spurt. As I pressed my waist and poured my seeds into the cervix, Chikako wrapped her legs around my waist. Chikako’s canal undulated stickily while tightening around the pole from the root to wring out every last drop.
”Uu…!”
When my strength left me and I slumped over Chikako, I was hugged with both arms.
”Nfufu, Tsucchi, you’ve gotten quite good.”
Oh, words of praise from Chikako-sensei. I must have earned quite a bit of exp points. I won’t let them call me a graduate from virginity anymore. I want to overwhelm the Evolds, who overwhelm with strength and their bodies, with technique, but as expected, I’m still no match for the class of the veteran Chikako.
”Next is me.”
”U…”
Fujisaki leaned on me from behind, making me a sandwich. While having both ears licked by the two of them, I was tossed around by their soft bodies. Before I knew it, the positions had swapped; when Chikako pulled out the thing that was still inserted, Fujisaki, who had moved, began to stroke the thing with both hands. Simultaneously, Chikako sucked on a nipple and attacked violently with the tip of her tongue.
”Ua…!”
The thing that had been driven to the edge by Chikako’s canal was further tormented by Fujisaki’s fingers. Ten fingers rubbed up and down against the head, and just as I was about to go, the hands stopped dead.
”Ah… ah… aah!”
Fujisaki, holding the gl**s¹³ and the pole, moved her hands alternately like she was wringing a towel. Just as I was about to go again, she squeezed the base tightly and ground against the gl**s. Having the edge-play repeated many times, I could no longer suppress my voice. During that time, Chikako held down my upper body and relentlessly tormented my nipples.
Fujisaki’s hands pulled away, but I felt like I would explode with just a little more stimulation.
”It looks like you’re at your limit. Then, I’ll let you go with this.”
When Chikako pulled back, Fujisaki had opened her large chest in front of the erect thing.
”Saki-chi’s breasts are big, aren’t they. Do you always have her squeeze you with those?” Chikako asked.
Chikako dug into my ear canal with her tongue while squeezing my nipple tightly with her fingers. As Fujisaki closed her breasts with a thud! momentum while wearing a vicious smile, my thing was sandwiched between the heavy flesh.
”U… ah!”
As Fujisaki added pressure by squeezing with both hands, my thing, which had been strained to the limit, sprayed seeds with momentum inside Fujisaki’s chest.
”Ufufu, I’ve only just sandwiched it. I’ll make it even better.”
Fujisaki moved her breasts up and down violently to stroke the thing that was currently releasing, further prompting the release.
”Look! There’s more, right! Release everything!”
Fujisaki moved her breasts alternately, and the thing was tossed around inside her chest. Another wave of climax surged through the thing that was still releasing. If I have the Brave Warrior Title, I won’t easily wilt even if I go, and recovery is fast, but as expected, being made to go consecutively takes away my stamina all at once.
I unintentionally tried to twist my body, but there was nothing I could do when held down by two Evolds.
Fujisaki buried her face in the valley of her own chest, took the gl**s into her mouth, and began to shake her head. I couldn’t hold it and surpassed my limit; my waist bounced up and down on its own. Fujisaki went gasp! gasp! as she sucked on the urethra in time with the rhythm of the release.
”Ah! Uaa!”
Strength left my body as if it had been sucked out, but Fujisaki, with a smirk, straddled my waist while kneeling.
”Ufufu. Not yet, the real thing starts now.”
”Wait–“
I tried to stop her, but I was kissed by Chikako and had the inside of my mouth licked all over. In the meantime, Fujisaki placed the gl**s against the opening of her canal and lowered her waist smoothly.
As expected, the thing, whose defensive power had dropped from becoming a bit soft, was tightened firmly, and my waist bounced.
This is a bit too intense! I had a bad feeling at the point of the 4P, but today seems to be a day where I am squeezed without mercy.
”Ahaaaa-n!”
Himeno’s cry rose right next to us. If it were the impatient Himeno, you’d expect her to jump in first, but Himeno had remained sitting flat on the floor from the beginning and didn’t participate. Is it impulse control training?
From where I was, I could only see from the neck up of Himeno, who had her chin resting lightly on the edge of the bed, but she also seemed to have gone, as she was twitching her body with melting eyes.
For Himeno, she’s enduring incredibly well, but this is the same as a dog ordered to ‘wait’ in front of a feast. It’s terrifying to think about when she gets the ‘okay’ state. Rather, I feel like the development where all three of them were at it from the start and the other two, put off by Himeno’s intensity, stepped in to stop her would have been better.
Fujisaki began to swing her waist while being stared at intently by the beast who was dripping drool. Her movement finally stopped when Fujisaki reached her third climax while squeezing me violently. I was already on the verge of death.
”Himeno-san, was it okay like this?” Fujisaki asked Himeno as she raised her waist and pulled out the thing.
”Ha… yes… it’s the best!” Himeno replied with ragged breathing, having apparently climaxed many times herself.
When Fujisaki and Chikako moved aside, Himeno reached out and crawled onto the bed smoothly.
Hey, hey, hey! You’re releasing her at this timing!
Lying there like a sacrificial offering, strength no longer entered my body. I could only watch Himeno crawling toward me with eyes of despair.
”Tsuchimiya-senpai…”
Himeno peered into my eyes from point-blank range.
”Y-y-y-you endured well, Himeno.”
Himeno firmly grabbed my wrist as I tried to pat her head. Words no longer worked. Himeno quickly covered me and kissed me as if devouring me. She then skillfully inserted the semi-erect thing smoothly.
Himeno’s canal, which was in battle-ready mode, had its ridges standing. The thick ridges stimulated the pole from all directions with pinpoint accuracy, and in the gaps, thin ridges wriggled smoothly. It tightened firmly, and the vaginal tract itself undulated complexly.
I was made to go full-erect in an instant and was releasing inside Himeno, who clung to me and writhed her body.
”Tsucchi, let’s work hard for just one more hour, okay?” Chikako said.
Even Chikako’s voice sounded like a death sentence to the current me.

Summary:
Takeru wakes up late and enjoys a domestic morning with Fujisaki, Chikako, and Himeno before heading out for training. During a hike, they spot a massive 200-meter Sandworm, highlighting the dangers of the feral dungeon floors. Takeru successfully sparred with Fujisaki, winning for the first time by using spear techniques in close quarters. The day ends with an intense, multi-partner sexual encounter where Takeru is pushed to his physical limits by the three girls.
—
Character Insight:
Takeru’s growth is evident in his sparring victory against Fujisaki, where his desperation to appear strong for Himeno triggers a heightened state of concentration. This ‘first-time bonus’ of seeing Himeno’s innocent joy at the scenery also serves as a motivator, reinforcing his desire to progress despite his Level 1 restriction. Meanwhile, Fujisaki’s transition from a sadistic trainer to a ‘senpai’ figure for Himeno shows a deepening of the group’s interpersonal bonds, even if those bonds are often expressed through high-intensity physical intimacy.
—
Behind the Scene:
The author uses the ‘Academy Daily Report’ as a world-building tool to contrast the peaceful life Takeru left behind with the dangerous, feral environment he now inhabits. The mention of the ‘Special Zone’s’ massive scale suggests a deeper mystery involving the protectorate’s initial investments.”
