Episode 70: Rumor (Fact) that Greek Deities are Only
Weirdos
Second day of summer
vacation. early morning.
I arrived at the dungeon
alone as heavy rain pelted the ground.
The purpose, of
course, was to try out the cards I got yesterday.
This time, I came to
the D-rank dungeon at Takao Station, which was a tropical forest dungeon.
In the fall and
winter, the dungeon of tropical forests gets quite crowded, but during the hot
and humid summer season, it is not so popular.
In this hot summer,
it was human nature to want to dive in a dungeon of the sea or a cool mountain
area.
Given that, the
reason why I went to the trouble of coming to an empty dungeon was because I
didn't want to let people see the ultra-premium card that was Athena.
I would probably show
this card out to the public at some point, but I didn't want to make it too
conspicuous now that the public was paying attention to the case.
After entering the
dungeon and making sure no one else was around, I took the cards I had obtained
yesterday out of the Card Holder.
First and foremost,
this card,
"Come out! Athena!"
With a dazzling
light, a girl wearing white armor and a large golden shield appeared.
She appeared to be a
little over ten years old, I think. Her golden wavy hair was long enough to
reach her hips. Her eyes had a mysterious glow that made them appear blue or
gray depending on the angle, and her face, though young, was already beautiful
and flawless.
She looked around at
first, and then her elegant face contorted when she saw my face,
“Hyah?! A man?! I- I'm going to be raped!"
"?! I'm not
going to do that!"
I was shocked at the
girl who crouched down and hid behind THE large shield as tall as she was,
snarling sharply.
This brat, what a
mean thing to say! I
hurriedly looked around.
Thank goodness there
was no one around. It was a good thing I had chosen an empty dungeon just in case.
I was already being suspected of being a pedophile (lolicon) because of Renge,
and if anyone had seen me in such a situation, my life would have been in
jeopardy.
As I was patting my
chest in relief, Athena fearfully peeked out over her shield.
"...I- indeed, it appears that you are still
pure."
As one would expect
from the three major virgin deities of Greece, Athena seemed to recognize me as
a virgin at first look.
She showed herself
from behind the shield, puffed out her chest, pointed at me, and said,
"I'm impressed that you can maintain your chastity
in this depraved age. Just live your whole life without getting involved with a
woman. Is that clear?"
"No... sorry, I don't want to be a virgin for the
rest of my life....."
When I said that,
Athena made a face that said, "I've been deceived?!"
"Hii?! S, so you summoned me with the intention of
raping me?! Nike! Nike!! Help
me! I'm being raped!"
At the sound of
Athena's half-crying cry for help, a pillar of light descended from the sky,
from which a beautiful woman of about 20 years old with blond hair in a short
bob appeared.
On her back were
magnificent white wings, and the lines of her voluptuous body showed through
her thin dress of ancient Greek-style cloth.
......Is this Nike?
Apparently, she can summon her subordinate like normal.
"Athena-sama1, were you calling me?"
"Please help me, Nike! I'm about to be raped by this
man!"
"I told you I'm not going to do that!"
"Oh dear."
Despite my protests,
Nike stroked Athena's head as she clung to her with a motherly smile.
"Okay, okay, it's okay. This Nike is on it~"
"I'm counting on you! You're the only one I can rely
on, Nike!"
"Ah~...! I can't believe the day will come when that
Athena-sama will cling to me like this... My, my."
Nike stroked Athena's
head with a flushed cheek and an expression of ecstasy. Athena looked up with a
somewhat doubtful face.
Huh? This
is a little strange?
Nike turned to face
me while stroking Athena's little head.
"Now then, Master of my Lord. Please wait a moment
before you force this helpless Athena-sama down, violating her wildly like a
beast, and pouring your white fluid into her young secret parts."
"Hyii?!"
"What are you?!"
Those words sounded
like something out of a pornographic novel!
When I threw that
question with all my being, Nike smiled and nodded,
Of course, I understand how the Master of my Lord
feels."
"No, I don't think you understand at all."
"Certainly, the sight of Athena-sama's frightened
face stimulates desires. I understand the feeling of wanting to beat this young
and beautiful face with my fist with all my might and break her so badly that
all of her front teeth would be gone."
"See! You
don't get it! This guy is crazy! Come here, Athena!"
"Ah, y- y- y- yes!"
Athena, whose face
turned pale, hurriedly moved away from Nike and hid behind me.
I asked her while
shielding her from the freaky psycho lesbian woman.
"Huh?! Is
Nike always such a crazy freak?!"
"There is no way! I
never knew she had a side like that! If I
had known, I would never have summoned her!"
"Right!"
Seeing us like that,
Nike laughed cheerfully.
"Hehehe, please don't be so scared. I have no
intention of actually doing it."
"Really.....?"
"Yes. Because it would be such a waste, wouldn't it? It's just the normal thing for a connoisseur to look at
one thing and indulge in a myriad of fantasies."
"I, I see....."
"But that is subtly not a reassuring answer..."
Athena looked anxious
and dismayed when Nike seemed to deny it, but inwardly didn't deny that she was
beating her up.
"Therefore, please, Master of my Lord, please be
patient and wait to actually lay your hands on her. Athena is a woman who vowed
lifelong chastity. If she loses her chastity, she will be Lost as the
price."
"Yeah, that's why I have said from the beginning
that I didn't have any intention of doing that..."
"That is why I recommend that if you must do it,
please do it when you are on the verge of death and can't avoid her Lost. Then
the result will be the same regardless."
"Hii?!"
"Are you listening to me?! I said I won't do it!"
This guy, is she the
type who can understand words, but can't actually be able to talk to?
Nike bowed her head
reverently and said,
"If you are unable to suppress your lust, please
tell me before you lash out at Athena-sama. I, Nike, will take her place."
"......Ho, hoho."
......Well, sounds like she can actually be conversed
with? That's not so bad, maybe?
"Get it together, idiot!"
Right then, I was
lightly smacked on the head.
When I looked up, she
saw Renge that had suddenly appeared on her own, looking at me with a disgusted
look on her face.
"You, you really are vulnerable to that kind of temptation...."
"Uh......."
That's, because I'm a virgin... And I'm at an age where
I'm very interested in the female body......
Athena and Nike
looked at us with serious faces.
"...Athena-sama."
"Yes... it seems that the fetters are completely
lifted."
I guess they noticed
that the Renge's shackles were off after seeing the exchange just now.
Well, it's not normal
for a card to have the ability to hit their master on the head.
"So, what do you think about her? Does it look like
she could be of any use?"
"Hmm, right. At least above the minimum.
Athena."
"……What is it?"
Athena replied with
caution towards Renge,
"Your card had the [Juvenile] skill listed, but
which skill is specifically disabled?"
"Mm......."
Athena was clamming
up for a moment, but then she sighed as if she had given up immediately.
"......There is no use hiding it. As you might have
guessed, I am unable to use the Aegis. Nor, it seems, can I grant blessings to
heroes or use magic."
In other words, she
practically has no fighting ability, huh?
Seeing me deep in
thought, Nike took a step forward.
"If it's about battle, don't worry, this Nike will
be there. If anything, I am more convenient than a normal card because there is
no danger of me being Lost."
"Oh... don't worry. I'm not thinking of selling
her."
When I said this,
Nike seemed relieved.
...I guess the fact
that she was relieved right away that I won't sell Athena means that she at
least thought I wasn't that bad.
Or maybe she didn't
like the possibility of this Athena becoming a 'resurrection card'.
Well, I can't imagine
a situation where Athena would be Lost. Every master should protect it with top
priority.
"Now that you've decided to add her to the group,
why don't you introduce some of the others? ...I
think someone's been itching to say something since a while ago."
"Ah, you're right."
I called out the
other cards. There were four other members: Eliza, Yuki, Mea, and Suzuka. Since
the summoning quota for a D-rank dungeon is six cards, unfortunately, I had to
hold off on calling Dragonet this time, or rather, this time as well.
......I felt that
Dragonet had to take the back seat at times like this.
I should reward
Dragonet in some way later.
"Ooooooh! I finally got out!"
As expected, it was
Mea who was the first to shout as soon as she was summoned.
"Why is it that only Renge can come out and in as
she pleases? She is always with
Master even outside the dungeon, isn't she? It's
not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair!"
"You're so noisy, It can't be helped, can it? If you're jealous, have Utamaro remove the shackles on
you, too."
When Renge said so,
Mea's focus naturally turned to me.
"Right! Master, it's about time you establish
Perfect Link with the other cards besides Renge~. That said, what's the deal
with these guys? Aren't
these cards very expensive? What
happened to Mea's rank up?!"
"Wait, wait, first of all, calm down. Here, eat your
pound cake."
When I shoved a pound
cake I bought at the convenience store upstairs into Mea's mouth, she
obediently began to eat it.
Well, it was worth
training her not to talk while she had something in her mouth.
"First of all, Athena is a card I won from the Guild
card pack, so I got the card for much cheaper than I would have had to buy it.
Nike is a subordinate she summoned. As for the card for Mea's rank up, I've
asked an independent card merchant to find it for me."
......But even if they find it, I've already spent the
money to buy it.
As I was muttering
this to myself, I saw Renge staring at me.
Well, I'll figure out
how to make money somehow, so I'll keep it a secret from Mea...
Renge let out a sigh
and averted her gaze.
"Also, no matter how hard I try with Perfect Link, I
can only achieve full synchronization (99%) with cards other than Renge, so it
can't be helped, right? Rather, I want to know why only Renge is able to do
it."
"Mmm chew chew... gulp. Haa~ I guess it can't be
helped. Hey Master, I’m counting on you to rank me up, okay? If it continues
like this, I'll really be out of the circle..."
"Yeah... I'll make sure to rank you up, so just
wait."
I hooked my finger
with Mea, feeling guilty.
Athena, who was
standing from a bit of a distance, approached.
"......Um, what is that Perfect Link? Is that the
reason why the fetters are off of that Zashiki-warashi?"
"Hmm? Ah,
the Perfect Link is what we call the Link that increases the synchronization
rate to 100%. As a result of this, Renge can be summoned even outside of the
dungeon."
"Linking, as I recall, is the technique of utilizing
the connection between the master and the cards called by the humans, isn't it? To overlay the card and the soul entirely... what a
foolhardy thing to do."
"Nn? Is
Perfect Link dangerous?"
When Mea asked this
question, Athena answered while glaring at Renge who was talking with Nike for
some reason.
"Of course it is. The souls of humans and cards are
of different ranks. To put it in a way that is easy for humans to understand,
humans and cards have different osmotic pressures. What happens when two
liquids of different concentrations come into contact with each other across a
semi-permeable membrane?"
"......Solvent moves from a solution of lower
concentration to a solution of higher concentration."
"What fills the soul of a card is seawater. And what
fills the human soul is fresh water."
...I see. Is this the reason why side effects occur when
using Perfect Link?
"Nn? Mea
don't really understand, but does that mean it's better not to use Perfect
Link?"
"Yes. If you have a way to remove the fetters, I was
hoping to have them removed, but I didn't realize you were using such a rough
practice ......I guess I have no choice but to give up. However, that Zashiki-warashi
is a crook, doing this kind of thing while behaving in such a friendly
manner..."
"No, Renge has warned me not to use Perfect
Link."
I explained this for
the sake of my precious partner's honor, but Athena shook her head and denied
it.
"The fact that she did it that first time is a
problem in and of itself. A decent card would never or could never do that.
Especially if they are the good kind of deity. ......That's fine. This is also
a fate. If you look closely, it appears that a little bit of a heroic spirit is
emerging. Let Athena, the guardian deity of heroes, protect you."
"Ah, ah..... I don't know where that came from, but
I'm counting on you."
"Then pray three times daily, build a temple, and
make offerings. Oh, and you must remain a virgin for the rest of your life. Is
that understood?"
"That I refuse."
"W, why......?
And thus, Athena, the
jittery young goddess, and Nike, the crazy psycho lesbian, joined my group.
[Tips] Safe Zone Creation Skills
This is one of the
rarest skills in the world that can create safe zones that should only exist in
limited areas of the dungeon. Although this skill was originally thought to be
only slightly useful, its value has skyrocketed since the safe zones in A-rank
dungeons have disappeared due to the ignorance of mankind.
The pseudo safe zone
created by such a skill cannot be used as a transfer destination, but this is
because the coordinates of the actual or original safe zone and the intended
transfer destination are different.
