EP.16 Beware of Old Traps 

"How am I even supposed to wear this…!" 

Satiana glared at me while holding a very skimpy piece of clothing. 

The item in her hand was a swimsuit, but it was so tiny that it was ironically useless as swimwear. 

"Hm… Is it really too much?" 

"Of course it's too much…!!" 

It was what's commonly called a micro bikini. 

It didn't even cover her private parts. In fact, just walking would make it ride up inside. 

It could barely cover her nipples, and would probably make them stand out even more. 

You sometimes see adventurers wearing bikini-like outfits. 

That's usually because the item is cursed or has some special magical properties. 

But even by the generous standards of adventurers, a micro bikini was too much. 

"If I walked around in this… ugh…! I wouldn't be able to show my face anywhere!" 

"Yeah, if you wore that outside, you'd look like a total slut." 

"Ugh…!! So you gave this to me knowing that?!" 

"No, I just thought I'd see what would happen if I gave it to you." 

"You…!! Ugh…! Anyway, give me something else!" 

There was only one outfit left. 

Unlike the previous ones, this one at least looked normal on the outside. 

"This is the last one." 

"Ugh…! If this one's weird too, I won't forgive you…!" 

"This one's pretty normal." 

What I handed her was another swimsuit, 

but this time, it covered much more than the last one. 

Satiana didn't seem thrilled about it being a swimsuit, but at least she wasn't angry. 

"Normally, I wouldn't even wear something like this…" 

"If you don't like it, you can wear the one I just showed you." 

"Grr…! That's not even clothing…! I'll just put up with this for now. Next time, I'm picking my own clothes." 

In the end, she decided to wear it. 

It was actually the best of all the outfits she'd tried so far. 

Of course, that was just the appearance. There was a special function hidden in this clothing. 

"Alright, if you've chosen, try it on." 

"Then go outside and wait." 

"Wait for what?" 

I didn't see any reason to leave. 

We'd already seen each other naked. 

"Ugh…! I can't change with you watching…!" 

"We've already shared everything, and you said you'd be my partner someday, right? Changing clothes in front of me is nothing compared to what happened in the shop." 

"Grr…! Don't bring that up…!" 

Even though we'd already bathed together, the memory was still fresh. 

Satiana's body trembled instinctively. 

Her legs pressed together, not out of dislike, but from the lingering sensation. 

It was just that the experience had been intense. 

Just remembering it made her body react. 

To me, it was a rather cute and innocent reaction. 

"Ugh… fine… I'll change in front of you, so don't bring that up again!" 

"Alright. No need to mention it." 

She'd end up thinking about it again at night anyway. 

The line drawn on her thigh with ink hadn't disappeared. 

She still had to relive her lewd experience in her dreams. 

"Ugh… then… just don't stare too much…" 

Satiana began to undress shyly. 

She covered her chest with one hand and squeezed her legs together to hide her lower body. 

'There's no way to put on a swimsuit like that.' 

Of course, it only made changing harder. 

Even if she was embarrassed to be seen, it only made the process take longer. 

After several tries, she gave up and just changed. 

"This uncomfortable outfit…! Ugh…" 

Satiana finally managed to get her legs into the swimsuit. 

For a brief moment, her clean pink petals were shyly exposed. 

"D-don't stare so blatantly…!" 

"I wasn't really staring." 

Of course, that was a lie. 

Satiana knew it too, but couldn't deny it. 

She herself proved it by showing her pink sex. 

"Ugh…! I-I need to hurry up and put this on…" 

Once her legs were in, the rest was easy. 

With hurried hands, she pulled the swimsuit up. 

The moment she removed her hand from her chest, 

her breasts bounced nicely with the motion. 

Her shy movements and the pink nipples that peeked out were adorably charming. 

"Hmph…! Why do humans make clothes like this…!!" 

The embarrassing moment ended fairly quickly, 

but Satiana's face still looked troubled. 

"This outfit…! Isn't it too small?!" 

"Hmm… is it?" 

"If you have eyes, you can see it's so tight it clings to me!" 

The black swimsuit hugged her curvy body. 

The high-leg cut showed off her shape and smooth lines. 

Especially the lower half, which highlighted her beautiful legs. 

Her cleavage and even the sides of her breasts were exposed. 

The inner lines of her thighs were so alluring, it was almost breathtaking. 

"That's just how that kind of outfit is." 

"Grr…! What do you mean, 'that kind of outfit'…" 

"At least it covers everything that needs to be covered, right?" 

"But…! Ugh… it clings in weird places… it feels strange…!" 

"You're just not used to it yet." 

Sorry, but it wasn't just her imagination. 

This swimsuit was made of a special material and even had magic woven in. 

It had a function that gave subtle stimulation while being worn. 

It was so subtle, it was hard to notice even if you focused. 

But even a small effect builds up over time. 

On the outside, it looked like a slightly revealing swimsuit, but it was actually a special swimsuit that built up desire without her realizing it. 

"I'll let it slide this time… but when does this disappear…?" 

Satiana showed me her thigh. 

She seemed bothered by the black line that wouldn't wash off. I knew she'd be mad if I told her the truth, so I made something up. 

"It'll disappear with time. Probably… by tomorrow." 

"Really?" 

She looked at me full of doubt. 

But I decided it was more fun if she didn't know. 

"It'll definitely be gone by tomorrow." 

"…Alright, I'll believe you for now…" 

"Anyway, tomorrow we're going to see the guild branch chief, so get some sleep early." 

"Didn't you say your acquaintance went to a dungeon…?" 

Even as the Demon King, Satiana knew that much. 

She commanded monsters, so she knew it was hard to return from a dungeon in a single day. 

But I wasn't just going to wait-I planned to go find her myself. 

"No idea how long it'll take, so it's better to go directly and try to make a deal quickly. The closer you are to danger, the more powerful the adventurers' guild is." 

"If the negotiation succeeds, we won't have to worry in the village. But that's only if it works." 

"If we help out in the dungeon, it might be surprisingly easy. She's got a strong sense of loyalty." 

"If she's investigating a dungeon alone, she must be pretty strong." 

Flora really was a skilled adventurer. 

She'd been promoted to branch chief, but her skills hadn't faded. 

She was a valuable ally for me. 

"She's strong enough." 

"But someone that skilled wouldn't just help anyone." 

"Like I said, she's got a straightforward personality. If I do her a favor, she'll help us." 

"Someone that strong probably doesn't need much help…" 

Satiana had a point. 

Flora wasn't someone who needed help. 

"She actually has a few weak points. If we go into the dungeon, there's bound to be something we can help with." 

"Ugh… Did I get caught…?" 

Flora's lower body was buried in the floor. 

She tried using all her strength, but there was no way to get free. 

"I can't believe there was a trap here…" 

She'd made the mistake of thinking the room was safe. 

There were no signs of monsters, so she let her guard down. 

She'd trusted too much that there were no signs of previous intruders. 

She was confident she wouldn't lose to monsters. 

She thought she could handle traps if she was careful. 

With belated regret, Flora sighed. 

"Haa… Should I just wait to be rescued…?" 

She didn't know when a rescue party would come. 

In the worst case, it could be too late. 

"Maybe I should try breaking the floor with my sword…" 

She struck the floor with her sword as hard as she could. 

But it didn't work. The noise echoed in the room, and the sword bounced off. 

Clang-! 

"Ugh… I guess a sword won't work…" 

It was a thoroughly planned trap. 

Of course, hitting the floor with a sword wouldn't solve it. 

"My lower body feels numb-must be the trap's effect." 

She couldn't feel anything from the waist down. 

It seemed the trap not only buried her but also used magic to cut off sensation. 

Flora had no way of knowing the state of her lower body. 

All she could guess was that she wasn't being attacked. 

"It doesn't seem like a trap meant to kill…" 

Her guess was partly right. 

It wasn't meant to kill, but to incapacitate. 

But that wasn't the full truth. 

Originally, it was a trap to bury a woman and cut off her sensation so she could be toyed with. 

The area connected to her lower body was full of tentacles. 

But since the trap hadn't been used in a long time, the tentacles had long since dried up and died. 

"Don't tell me I'll have to stay like this…" 

She struggled again in anxiety, but couldn't feel her legs at all.
