Volume 3, Chapter 1 – New Intruder?
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Few days have passed since Elsie became my companion.
Even though she’s still an apprentice, she’s still a mage, so she has to have thorough knowledge about magic.
For that reason, I decided to make her play an active role as my right-hand man.
It was nice if that went smoothly but……
“Wait a minute! Gilles’ lover you say!?”
“Senpai loves Elsie after all!”
“Huuh!? No way! He’s just acting that he likes you!”
Belle quarreled with Elsie over me every single day.
And whenever I who was in the center try to calm the both sides down……
“Shut up!”
“Please shut up Senpai!”
I was always turned down flatly by those words.
“Haaa……”
I gave a big sigh. The maid next to me then spoke.
“Ufufufu, it’s hard to be popular, isn’t it?”
“You said it. Being turned down is another, but getting out of hand like this is-”
“This onee-san is fine with a purely-bodily relationship you know?”
“Ca-Carol……”
I reached out to Carol who offered an unexpected helping hand.
After all, a purely sexual relationship is probably the easiest for us to manage……or that’s what I think.
Of course, whenever we have such conversation, Bell and Elsie will get angry at me.
“Gilles!”
“Senpai!”
“……I’m sorry”
See what I mean? However, although the exchanges they had were foolish at most, we were able to get ourselves closer to the secret of this tower, even for just a little bit. All we have confirmed are as follows:
First, we have succeeded in obtaining the total number of points for all the actions we have taken.
While we couldn’t analyze the formula at all, I was able to obtain these numbers by connecting the formation with my magic.
The current points we had are these.
２２０／１００００
Though 220 points were still far from our target, once we obtained 10000 points, the conditions will be cleared and we will be able to unlock this case.
According to the results, the sex with Elsie has the highest point obtained.
Her hate changing to love must have played the greatest part of the deed.
However, it was really pitiful, looking at the increments we gain on our ‘succeeding activities’. So, if I didn’t get myself to have sex with different women every time, it will take forever for me to gather the remaining points.
Still, if we do our best then……! A certain mage apprentice said, giving me quite a shock. Hey, just where is your head located? Can you even compute?
“Ah, yeah. Senpai, I have something to tell you”
“What is it?”
“It’s about the Royal Palace’s Magic Ministry. They were searching for you the last time I visited them. Did you do something to them?”
“……I guess it’s about that time already”
If I hadn’t made contact after three days, they would presume that I have died.
The situation is cool for me and all, but the guys from the Magic Ministry will never believe that until they found my corpse.
Rather, if I were a member of the Magic Ministry, I would think that I have colluded with the Demon Lord already. That’s how they were hostile to me.
Well, I could no longer argue with that, as it was a fact already……
“Elsie, have you heard any news from them?”
“Uhm, well, when Elsie stopped by the Magic Ministry, they talked about something like wanting to see how your situation went or so……”
They probably were asking Elsie to do a reconnaissance and They might already be getting ready at that time. It was also possible that if she didn’t gone ahead, they might have stormed this place already.
I don’t really want armed people coming inside this tower.
With my fighting strength, I could handle quite a large amount of people if we went into combat.
However, I dislike fighting, and because of the stupid restriction mom gave to me, forbidding me to kill that is, it was better for me to leave them alone instead.
“……Yet I don’t think it will be ignored just like that”
“That I also thought, senpai”
While Elsie and I were in a mess thinking how to deal with the upcoming problem……
“If that’s the case, why not just defeat everyone?”
The only fighting nut in our group spoke out loud in a triumphant manner.
“Yeah? Could be? No. Belle, you can win if you went serious at them, but that won’t solve anything”
“Why?”
“If you were to knock down the first wave, they will definitely increase the strength of their second wave”
“And if I were to defeat them again, the third one will surely be more stronger than the last?”
“Precisely. If that happens, our investigation of the formation will have no choice but to halt”
“……then, what should I do?”
“That’s what we’re thinking about right now”
Should I admit the good relationship between me and Belle and the secret of the tower? Eh, no. Why would they trust me in the first place?
Well, there’s no use thinking about it for now. Let’s just wait for the next prey to arrive.
Biriririri……!
And speak of the devil, we just heard the alarm.
“Looks like someone’s got caught in a trap again. What floor is it?”
“Gilles-san, it was the 34th floor, by the looks of it”
Carol told me.
“Trapped on the thirty-fourth floor……wait, is that-“
“Ufufufu, Yes, it’s certainly that”
“S-seriously?”
“? Gilles-san, you seem so happy about it”
“No, it’s nothing”
If it’s the trap on the 34th floor, it was certainly ‘that’.
‘That’ was the first thing that comes into mind when you mention eroticism in another world.
‘That’ doesn’t care whatever kind of woman falls in it.
In this dungeon, not every place is covered by my ‘surveillance equipment’.
The damn place is too big for my capacity for starters, so I placed them in traps or places intruders might step or get caught on.
All of the traps have alarms so I was able to detect if someone were to get captured by them. Yet, not all of them have ‘surveillance cameras’ to see the unfortunate victim.
There’s a reason why I didn’t place it in all of them.
Still, without them I wouldn’t be able to confirm the identity of the intruder so I still don’t know if it’s woman or not.
From that point on, I have to rely on my own skill.
“Still, it’s strange”
Belle muttered, with her arms folded.
“Why can’t we just have one of those ‘surveillance cameras’ of yours near the entrance of the dungeon?”
“I would have done it already if it’s possible”
Even back in my previous world, the most ideal place to set these cameras up were the entrances of any establishment after all.
However, for some reason, I couldn’t install it in the first floor.
It was because there was ‘something’ causing a strong interference resulting to the ‘camera’ breaking apart, like a powerful barrier of some sort.
And because there were several sets of stairs one can access to the next floor; it was difficult to put cameras on all of them. I don’t have a choice with my limited capabilities.
As for me, it was already useful because I can confirm where the intruder is without moving from my seat. And because I was required to approach the victim for our first joint ceremony, watching them onscreen is not as important.
Also, they’re all traps. They’re made to bind and capture prey to their literal sense.
Anyway, looks like someone was caught in one right now.
Now it’s my turn to go and see it.
Once again, I asked Belle for the transfer magic.
