Volume 3 Chapter 58
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”Ugh, this is rough.”
”What’s so rough, you ask?” I sighed, my brow furrowing as I looked down at the figure before me. “It’s the act of continuously pounding this beautiful woman known as the Dungeon Master1 into the ground.”
With my current physical stats, this was not even a fight anymore. It was a one-sided beatdown. There was no thrill in it, no excitement to keep me engaged; I was simply dealing damage over and over again as though I were carrying out a chore.
Perhaps things would have been different if I had some kind of sadistic streak. I did not. Teasing Haruka-san was fun because she was a masochist, but bullying a Dungeon Master who stood no chance against me was another matter entirely.
Thankfully, this joyless task was almost over.
The Dungeon Master’s durability had finally reached its limit, and she had fallen to the point where she could not even stand anymore.
If she would just admit defeat now, everything would be simple.
With that thought in mind, I approached the Dungeon Master, who lay collapsed on the ground, and looked down at her.
”…I’m so sorry!” the Dungeon Master gasped, her voice trembling. “I can’t move a single finger anymore, but it looks like I still can’t admit defeat! I guess I was programmed that way. A situation where I actually surrender was never part of the plan! Still, I’m happy you worked this hard for me, so go ahead and break me!”
She delivered those words with a bright smile, which only made me want to avoid doing exactly that.
But if this truly was the only way—if I really had to weigh the survival of the people of Japan, and ultimately all of humanity, against a single Dungeon Master—
Then there was no other choice.
The corners of my eyes grew hot as I raised my tightly clenched fist.
One strike would end it.
For now, only this particular Dungeon Master would disappear. The others would remain.
Yet once I took this step, there would be no turning back.
One by one, I would destroy the Dungeon Masters waiting in the depths of Phase Six, and eventually the very existence of the Dungeon Master would vanish from the world.
The Dungeon Master met my gaze with a gentle, peaceful smile, as though she had already accepted that fate.
This was the burden I had chosen to bear, and I knew the memory of that smile would follow me for the rest of my life.
Steeling myself, I swung my fist down toward her—
”Um, Kanade-kun… I just had a thought…”
Just as the blow was about to land, my beloved’s voice reached my ears, and my fist stopped dead only inches from the Dungeon Master’s face.
”…The Dungeon Master, well, she’s female, right?” Mana asked, tilting her head.
”Yeah. I mean, she looks like one, doesn’t she?” I replied.
”If she’s a woman, then surely there’s a situation where she’d have no choice but to admit defeat… right?”
”A situation where a woman would have no choice but to surrender…?”
I could not quite follow what she was getting at, so I turned toward the Dungeon Master. She merely tilted her head, looking every bit as confused as I was.
”…W-well, you see, Kanade-kun’s ‘lewdness’ is incredible…” the Dungeon Master stammered, her cheeks turning red. “Whenever we’re on the receiving end, we always end up admitting defeat… Right, Sakurako-san!”
”A-ah, exactly!” Sakurako replied, nodding vigorously. “I always end up feeling like there’s no way I could ever beat Kanade’s lewdness! A woman just knows when she’s completely outmatched!”
I appreciated the sentiment, but the reason my “lewdness” worked so well was because it received a huge boost from my Pressure Point skill.
…Hm?
Pressure Point?
Until now, I had never given it much thought because she was an enemy, but what if I genuinely thought of her as a companion I wanted to save?
That idea struck me, and my gaze drifted toward the chest straining against her bodysuit.
”I… I think I can do it,” I muttered. “All right…”
”H-huh?” the Dungeon Master squeaked as she stared up at me with wide eyes. “W-wait, what are you planning to do? Your eyes are… kind of scary!”
The Dungeon Master was acting flustered for the first time today, but there was a high probability that this was the only way to save her.
If that was the case, I didn’t have any other choice.
I reached out my fingertips toward the peaks of her breasts—not large, but firm and prominent—spilling out from her bodysuit.
The moment I captured those delicate n**ples between my fingers and gave them a sharp twist.
”Hii-gyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu—! ♡♡”
The (Pressure Point) had been successfully triggered.

Summary:
Kanade stands over a defeated Dungeon Master, internally struggling with the moral weight of his duty to eliminate these entities to save the world. Just as he prepares to land a final blow, Mana intervenes with a suggestion regarding the nature of women. Kanade discovers a unique way to utilize his Pressure Point skill as a non-lethal, albeit highly sexualized, method of forcing surrender.
—
Trivia:
Kanade perceives the Dungeon Master as a beautiful woman rather than just an enemy.
The Pressure Point skill acts as a forced surrender trigger when applied to specific anatomical points.
Kanade feels he is accumulating a spiritual burden or ‘sin’ by destroying the Dungeon Masters.
The Dungeon Masters appear to be programmed entities incapable of true surrender without a specific trigger.
