The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter - Chapter 83

Chapter 83

Translator: “Kell” Editor: ”Weasalopes”

The Pixie was used to this M . O . I’m sure there have been other victims besides us . When I asked about it, the Pixie answered unapologetically .

「So what if I trick and attack humans? I was tricked and almost sold by a human I trusted a long time ago . I’m just returning the favor . 」

「I understand what you feel . But attacking innocent humans is just inexcusable . 」

「Hmp . I don’t give a crap about what a human says . 」

Good grief . It seemed like its hatred for humans run deep .

「N-N-Noir! Over here!」

Emma was panicking behind me . I came over to her while playing close attention to the Pixie so it doesn’t escape . One look and I knew why she was flustered . A decomposed body of a woman lay in the stream . Judging by the clothes, she was on her way to enjoy the hot springs .

「You did this, didn’t you?」

「Hmm~? I don’t know anything . Besides, there are bodies everywhere . 」

There were a number of corpses sprawled about . I didn’t notice before since I was too focused on chasing after the Pixie . I’ve had enough of its flippant attitude and gripped tighter .

「Ugh?! H-Hey… what…」

「I can just crush you right this instant, you know . 」

「I-I’m sorry . I… apologize . 」

「Some things just can’t be forgiven even if you apologize . 」

「Noir, let’s meet up with the others for now . 」

「…Yeah . 」

I put just enough strength in my grip to not crush the creature and returned to my classmates . They rushed over as soon as they saw us and I gave them the gist of what happened . My classmates were shocked, but that wasn’t the case for Elna-sensei .

「I figured it was something like that . True, there are harmless Pixies but they’re rare . 」

「What should we do with this one?」

「I can dispose of it if you want . 」

「…Please do . 」

I had no qualms whatsoever about taking down monsters that hurt people . But the Pixie resembled a human too much . Considering the mental states of my classmates, leaving it to Elna-sensei would be best .

「Damn it . When I’m reborn, I’m gonna get my revenge on you, Noir!」

「You can come at me anytime you want . But I’ll keep on protecting those precious to me till the very end . 」

「Now that’s my student . Very well said . All right, let’s go, Pixie . 」

Elna-sensei went somewhere out of our sights and came back after ten minutes .

「Do you see now? There are monsters with smooth tongues and adorable appearances . There are even types that pretend they’re harmless and lead people into a trap . I hope you learned your lesson . 」

We certainly did . The sun was starting to go down so we hurried to our original destination . We made it safely to our inn before it got dark . It was an imposing structure with a gate and stood on a level area of the mountain . We approached the well-equipped guards stationed at the gate and they addressed us amiably .

「Guests, I presume?」

「Yes . We want to stay for the night . 」

「Elna-san and company, right? Please come inside . 」

Elna-sensei already made a reservation beforehand . When we got to the entrance, a middle-aged hostess came to greet us . Apparently there were three sort of rules here . The accommodation comes with meals . Boys and girls sleep in separate rooms . As for the hot springs, different hours are set for boys and girls to get in separately as well .

We set down our belongings in our rooms and had dinner first . The mountain vegetables and bear meat were quite delectable . I had some stewed bear’s palm as well which actually was quite good . It was pretty much a bizarre delicacy so I got LP too . The vegetables were splendid and I was very impressed by the inn, considering it was located in the mountains . They probably valued hospitality very highly .

「Well then, shall I show you to the hot springs? Right now, it should be for girls only . 」the hostess said when we were done eating, our stomachs full .

「Yay! It’s hot springs time!」

Emma and the other girls were getting excited .

「All right, guys . Let’s go back to our rooms . 」

That’s weird . The boys were heading back to our room, seemingly uninterested . Maybe they didn’t feel like it anymore after the whole case with the Pixie . It would be great if that were the case .

—Boy, was I wrong .

「Psych! Are you maggots ready?!」

「Yeeeaaahhh!」

They all turned into beasts as soon as they stepped into the room . Some were swinging their hips back and forth, some took off their clothes, and some were tapping their crotch .

It’s like a gathering of perverts in here!

「Ahem . May I have everyone’s attention? I’m Allen of the Milanos family, the planner and leader of this “The Boys’ Health Improvement Project” . 」

「And as you may know, I’m Yolt the deputy leader . 」

I wasn’t expecting the son of an influential family and Yolt to be the mastermind behind this . They came fully prepared, with masks and black garbs for every one of the boys .

「Why did we go through all the hardship just to get here? The answer is simple . To see naked girls! Am I right?!」

「Yeeaaahhh!」

Everyone was getting hot-blooded except me . Allen-kun raised his hand suddenly and shook his head anxiously .

「I want you all to calm down . We’re still members of the prestigious S class . I would like to avoid the dishonour of being known as a pervert who peeped into the girls’ bath . That’s where this garb and mask come in!」

「Please wait a sec . That’s a really bad idea . They could also be on alert . 」

I tried to warn them in the hopes that they would change their mind .

「Non, non, non . No problem at all . If someone gets in the way, we’ll just beat them down!」

「Noir, it wouldn’t even matter if they had complex traps . You know about my ability, don’t you?」

Simple traps won’t work on Yolt and I doubted anyone would care to plant elaborate traps in the vicinity of the inn . At best, there would only be pitfall traps that even Yolt can see through .

「Once again, we’re inviting participants for this project . If you support us, then wear your costumes and masks!」

The sound of people changing filled the room . They were quick in doing so . It looked like everyone except me wanted to participate . I would’ve loved to have at least one comrade…

「What’s wrong, Noir? Go on and change . 」

「I…」

Amidst the risky atmosphere, I eyed the exit and made a run for it .

「I can’t betray Emma!」

「Ah, he’s betraying us! Get him! Don’t let him leave the room!」

They all came at me at once . I dropped my body low and slid across to room so they won’t catch me . Countless lustful arms were reaching for me . Terrifying . Even more so than monsters .

「Your eyes are all bloodshot!」

「No shit! We’re about to burn the image of a girl’s secrets and mysteries into our own eyes! You’re not gonna stop us— gwehhh…

「Sorry, but I’m gonna do just that . 」

I kicked them out of the way and found an opportunity to get out of the room . I looked back as I was running through the corridor, but saw no one chasing me . They probably figured it wasn’t in their best interests to make a lot of racket .

「Oh, man . This will be rough . 」

They might’ve gone crazy after being consumed by their carnal desires, but they were still S class students . I could take one or two of them, but more than ten would be reckless . But I have to do it . So I could protect Emma’s chastity!

It was still quite a ways from the famous open-air bath . From the back of the inn, you had to walk about 400 meters to get there . I went out through the back door alone . There was an easy path made from people coming and going . Though if you veered away from the path, you could see shrubs and boulders .

There’s plenty of places to hide . It’ll be over if a large group comes through .

「Sigh… My chances of winning are slim…」

I might even get injured . Still I trudged onward . After some walking, I saw someone blocking the way, with a stern expression on their face like they were in the middle of a scene of carnage .

「I didn’t expect you to be the first to arrive . 」

「Elna-sensei… I thought you went to the hot spring . 」

「I assumed something like this would happen so I’m here standing guard . I’ll protect the girls’ bodies . That’s all . 」

Elna-sensei immediately readied herself, an aura of bloodlust emitting from her being .

「No, it’s not what you think! I’m on your side! I escaped all the way here to protect the girls while they’re taking a bath . 」

「Escaped?」

「You could say I’m a traitor . It took me all I had to escape from the boys’ evil clutches . 」

「…Oh so that’s what you mean . I’m guessing you don’t want them seeing Emma naked?」

「Exactly . But I don’t have a chance against them alone so I was stumped . 」

Our trust for each other ran deep . After all, I would massage her stiff shoulders and in return she would give me a hug .

「How many are there?」

「Everyone except me . 」

「That many?! So I was actually in charge of a bunch of perverts . I have to properly educate them . 」

「Sensei, how about we team up? With the two of us, we might be able to beat them . 」

「I wouldn’t have it any other way . Let’s pulverize those peeping worms . 」

「Yes, Ma’am!」

With Elna-sensei as an ally, we pretty much had the force of a battalion . I’ll give it my all to crush the boys’ ambitions .
