Chapter 183 The Man Heading to the Basement for a Visit
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
We decided to head to the Holy City¹ tomorrow. The plan is for Ami-chan to hide our presence with her ability while we fly there in one go using flight magic.
This way, we won’t need to use boats on the lake. However, because the distance is quite far, we decided to leave early tomorrow morning.
As for me, I went to town at noon to fill the Kelnamerchant guild’s warehouse to the top. After that, I moved to the capital to buy more food and daily items before returning to the Dominion.
I was thinking about whether I should have some fun with Eunos-san or Vectra-san tonight… when Ami-chan spoke to me.
”Why don’t you check on the female knights in the basement? Just watching them will help you collect Ego Point², Shou.”
I see… having s*x isn’t the only way to get Ego Points after all.
I quickly went to the entrance of the basement. Since the three managers were inside, the ladder was still standing there.
”Is nobody here?” I asked aloud.
At this time of day, right after lunch, they would usually be in the other room trying the obstacle course or being forced to run forever.
I went down the ladder and looked into the room where I could hear voices.
”Whoa…”
A pretty good sight was spread out before me.
Naked female knights were standing on one leg, holding buckets full of weights in each hand. Five maids were standing in a line around them, while the three managers walked around with whips in their hands.
Maybe points are taken away starting from the first person to lose their balance and fall, while the last one standing gets extra points. Some of them were already sitting down and crying.
”Everyone is holding up quite well today, aren’t they? desuwa,” Millrose said.
”Agh!”
Millrose stepped on one girl’s foot on purpose. Wow… she is a total demon…
I found Alvia right away. Just like always, her body was big—or rather, her muscles were amazing. She really stood out.
Her core did not move at all. However, Mardira walked up to her. She then hit Alvia’s large buttocks with the whip.
”Guh…! W-What are you doing…?!” Alvia said.
”You glared at me when I walked by, didn’t you…? You’re just livestock, yet you still don’t know your place,” Mardira replied.
”What…?! I did not glare at you…”
”Be quiet!”
Mardira used the whip again. When I looked closely, Alvia’s buttocks were bright red.
Actually… Mardira’s personality has changed a lot! Before, she had a much more timid feeling…!
The other female knights also looked at Mardira with fear. Just what has happened over these last few days…
(But… this is nice… To see all these naked female knights, totally helpless and doing what the managers say, getting whipped like that…!)
I can’t whip Princess Cleonora and the others, and I wouldn’t even want to. Women who can do that kind of ‘hard’ work are special.
”Come on. Let’s go talk to them as the King of the Magic Labyrinth³!” Ami-chan said.
”W-Wait…?!”
When Ami-chan spoke, the three managers noticed me. At that moment, all three of them dropped to one knee at the same time.
”This is… the Magic Labyrinth King…!”
”Welcome to this livestock pen, Your Majesty…!”
”…Hm. I was… doing my job,” Esrain said.
The female knights noticed too, and they started to make a noise. Some of them were crying. Uh… what is this situation…?
I didn’t understand, but Ami-chan whispered to me.
”The three managers… their Affection Level⁴ has gone up. There are also a few among the female knights whose levels have risen.”
Wait… why…? I haven’t even done anything…
(That reminds me, Ami-chan said it before. By using people, your Affection Level can sometimes go up even if you don’t do anything yourself.)
That was back when Princess Liliarette had just arrived. How nostalgic.
Maybe they were told something by the managers, or maybe the ‘rewards’ I gave to the best ones had a good effect.
”At ease. Sorry for stopping your work,” I said.
Ami-chan had told me to act more like a Dominator⁵ toward them. I will try to do that.
”I’ve left things to you for a long time. How are things going?”
”Yes. The three of us have been doing the jobs given to us by the Magic Labyrinth King very well, desuwa,” Millrose said.
I see… maybe that’s it. While acting as my workers, a real feeling like loyalty might have started inside them.
”It seems you have them well-trained. Letting you three manage the livestock was the right choice.”
”Your words are more than we deserve~desuwa.”
All three of them looked happy. I guess they are glad to have their work noticed.
”Are there any people who could become maid candidates?”
”The ones who are good at physical things are mostly decided, desuwa. Some have even said they will give their loyalty to the Magic Labyrinth King,” Millrose said.
”Heh… is that so.”
He… hehehe…! Look at this, Viorga…! You threw me away in this forest, but now I’ve finally made your knights fall apart!
A dark feeling of joy came over me. Ami-chan was also smiling; my Ego Points must be growing fast.
But at this rate, the ones who say they are loyal to me are probably still few… just people who really want to stop being livestock.
Also, I think Alvia’s presence is important. That serious type usually makes enemies, but they also have a few very strong friends.
That same Alvia was glaring at me right now.
”Hmph… are you happy, Magic Labyrinth King?”
”Hmm?”
”I’m asking if you are happy to shame us, the knights of Sir Viorga, like this…!” Alvia said.
Mardira’s eyes looked sharp, but I stopped her with my hand. There was no white skin left on Alvia’s buttocks; they were completely red. She must have been hit a lot.
I sent a message to tell Lace Agate to come here while I walked over to Alvia.
”Alvia. Why do you follow Viorga so much?”
”That is easy to see. He is the only royal who can lead the kingdom the right way. Unlike you, he is kind and has the heart of a true king. No one else is more worthy of my loyalty,” Alvia said.
”Hahaha… I see. Viorga is kind… you say…”
”…What is so funny?”
She is probably being serious… well, it doesn’t matter.
”First of all, why did you all come here again?” I asked.
”To get back Princess Liliarette, whom you stole…!” Alvia said.
”Is that what Viorga told you?”
”Yes! He was worried about Princess Liliarette every single day…!”
I almost laughed, but Mardira was the one who laughed first. Millrose also gave a small laugh.
”You people…! What is so funny?!” Alvia said.
”Ah… I see. You haven’t told her yet. It’s fine, Millrose. Go ahead and tell this Knight Order Commander⁶ who knows nothing.”
”I understand,” Millrose said, walking forward.
With her strong face, she really looked good in that military-style outfit…
”Listen well, Alvia. We managers have met Princess Liliarette, desuwa.”
”Wh—! What?! Is she okay?!”
”Yes, very much so. She was even with Princess Cleonora, desuwa.”
”……! Cleonora…! That traitor is here too…?!”
Alvia dropped her weights and stood on both legs. To be honest, I am surprised she stayed on one leg for so long.
”Listen. It was Viorga who made Princess Cleonora look like a traitor. Also, Princess Liliarette had both her legs broken by poison. The one who did that was also Viorga,” Millrose said.
”Huh…?! What are you saying…?! I won’t let you say bad things about Sir Viorga…!” Alvia said.
”Being ignorant is a problem. This is something Princess Liliarette told us herself. Princess Cleonora saved Princess Liliarette to help her sister,” Millrose said.
Calling the two of them here to talk would be faster, but I don’t need to do that yet.
”It’s a lie! You are being tricked by that man…! Remember the pride of the White Lily Knight⁷!”
”Something like that is just a piece of paper before the Magic Labyrinth King. You can’t live in this land while holding onto that, desuwa.”
Alvia… she does not believe it. But I can see the other knights are getting worried…
Just then, Lace Agate showed up.
”What is it? What do you want? I don’t like coming here—it smells,” Lace Agate said.
”Ah, you’re here. Lace Agate, can you heal these people’s wounds?” I asked.
”Huh? …Well, okay I guess.”
Lace Agate raised her staff, and bits of light began to gather. She waved her staff, spreading the light around the room.
”Eh…?!”
”T-This is…?!”
”No way…?! It can’t be…?!”
”The… the wounds are gone…”
The marks from the whip began to go away right before them.
I heard that healing magic is only in the Holy City and is seen as something holy. If they see that this power is also on our side, maybe how they see me will change.
Actually, Esrain, the manager, had her eyes wide open. Since she said she was a magic researcher… she must be very interested in this.
I looked back at Alvia again.
”How about it, Alvia? Why not give your loyalty to me instead of a cold woman like Viorga. If you do…”
”I refuse! No matter how much you shame me, my loyalty will never be yours…!” Alvia said.
Even showing her a miracle didn’t work… it isn’t about logic anymore.
It looks like I won’t be able to raise Alvia’s Affection Level easily… I’ll stop thinking of her as a Slave of Love⁸ for now.
Instead, I’ll use her as an example. I want to use Alvia to break the hearts of the knights who are still fighting.
”I see… By the way, Alvia. You are a virgin, right?”
”Huh…?”
I already checked that she was a virgin on her status screen.
”I wonder what everyone will think… when a girl with no experience is taken by me and ends up panting and drooling because it feels so good?”
”Hmph. So you will use me for your fun. If you want to shame me, do it. But no matter how much you take me, I will never make a sound!” Alvia said.
”Heh… good. That’s how it should be. Then, in three days. I will take you in front of everyone. I’m looking forward to seeing your face then… do you understand?”
He… hehehe…! I’ll make you cry out so loud it rings through the whole basement, Alvia…!

Summary:
Shou visits the basement where the captured female knights are being disciplined by the three managers. He learns that the managers’ loyalty and affection are growing through their roles. Shou attempts to sway the knight commander Alvia by revealing Viorga’s true nature and demonstrating healing magic, but she remains defiant. Consequently, Shou decides to make an example of Alvia by announcing he will publicly ravish her in three days to break the other knights’ spirits.
—
Character Insight:
Shou is leaning further into his role as a ‘Dominator,’ finding pleasure in the psychological destruction of his enemies. The change in Mardira from timid to sadistic suggests that the environment of the labyrinth is actively warping or revealing the darker sides of his subordinates’ personalities. Alvia’s blind loyalty to Viorga serves as a narrative foil to Shou’s growing power, setting up a clash between ‘old world’ knightly pride and the new reality of the Magic Labyrinth.
—
Behind the Scene:
The author notes the release of the manga adaptation and expresses excitement over the ‘lewd’ scenes and the powerful depiction of monsters. This chapter serves as a transition from the physical torture of the knights to a more psychological and s*xualized form of subjugation common in the series’ genre.
