The LV.99 Middle Boss, Starts His Second Life with Subordinates!

~3rd Person Perspective~

 

 

　At that time, the two heroes heard the hooting of an owl echoing in the forest that night.

 

　Elma lets out a short scream and clings to Jilheart.

 

 

“Hey Elma, it’s just an owl you know?” (Jilheart)

 

“Excuse me, I’m sorry Jilheart…! I’m not good with dark places…” (Elma)

 

“Haha, Elma is cute, did you hear that the recommended level for capturing this dungeon? ――Eight! Eight! You can capture this with your eyes close!” (Jilheart)

 

 

　With that said, Jilheart stroked Elma’s head.

 

　Elma’s cheeks are slightly dyed pink.

 

 

“And we have this magic sword that “she” gave us! With this, no monster can ever be terrifying!” (Jilheart)

 

 

　Jilheart holds the magic sword high.

 

　Even in the darkness slightly illuminated by the Cantera bat, the sword gives off a strange presence.

 

 

“That’s right…! Sorry I got upset!” (Elma)

 

“It’s fine! Let’s defeat the boss quickly and say goodbye to this humid place!” (Jilheart)

 

 

　Jilheart rushes through the woods with a big laugh.

 

　He show’s no cautiousness from the way he stomps on the forest floor stirring the debris.

 

　Of course, this low-grade dungeon is insignificant to the level 30 hero party “Dawn’s Ship”.

 

　But …

 

 

“……what’s that?!” (Elma)

 

 

　Elma gasped.

 

 

“What’s wrong with Elma?” (Jilheart)

 

“… Look at that Jilheart” (Elma)

 

 

　With that said, they turned to the trunk of a tree.

 

　Immediately after Elma and Jilheart entered the forest, they were engraving marks using a knife so they wouldn’t get lost.

 

 

“is this……” (Jilheart)

 

“… Aren’t we coming back to the entrance? (Elma)

 

“It is a such a fool!” (Jilheart)

 

 

　Jilheart looked around as if he had been duped.

 

　He doesn’t remember seeing the place.

 

　Above all, there is no entrance anywhere!

 

 

　Jilheart and Elma looked at each other.

 

　Only the eerie owl’s hooting echoes, hoot, hoot, over and over.

 

 

“Guh… it just happens to have a similar scratch, because we walked on a straight line.” (Jilheart)

 

“Yes, we did walk straight…” (Elma)

 

“Look! Here… that’s better! We’ll never make a mistake with this!” (Jilheart)

 

 

　Jilheart uses the knife to carve a new pattern on the trunk of the tree.

 

　This time it’s not just a cut. It’s a heart symbol.

 

　Elma’s name is also carefully engraved in the heart.

 

　Elma’s face was dyed bright red.

 

 

“Jilheart …! It’s embarrassing!” (Elma)

 

“Haha, but isn’t this perfect?” (Jilheart)

 

 

　The two look at each other.

 

　It was at that time.

 

 

　…… That’s stupid.

　…… Don’t start flirting here, bastards.

 

 

“Hmm?” (Jilheart)

 

 

　Jilheart looks back.

 

　There’s only darkness where the light of the Cantera Bat cannot reach.

 

 

“What happened Jilheart?” (Elma)

 

“Well, there’s some strange voices… Elma, did you say something?” (Jilheart)

 

“I did not say anything, you know?” (Elma)

 

“Well, then it’s probably my imagination! Let’s move on quickly!” (Jilheart)

 

“Oh, please wait!” (Elma)

 

 

　Jilheart rushes through the woods with a big laugh, and Elma rushes behind him.

 

　After they disappeared into the darkness, guided by the Cantera Bat, the hooting and other owl sounds echoed again—then the trees began to move.

 

 

“Gahahahaha!!! Look, that bastard! A heart is carved in your ass!” (Tree 1)

 

“This is ridiculous! Those damn heroes!” (Tree 2)

 

“Flirting at our workplace…! If it wasn’t for the boss’s command, I’m going to start slapping their heads!” (Tree 1)

 

“You’re stupid! Don’t be stupid, let’s go quickly!” (Tree 2)

 

 

　The trees that have begun to move—they resemble dead trees, they move their root-like legs and run through the woods quickly.

 

 

　–They are called Dead Trees.

 

　They are beginner—killer monster that mimics dead trees. And when the heroes are confused by trees and are good at giving a sudden blow from behind.

 

　The disadvantage is that the mimicry is incomplete, so if you look at it from the front, you will be able to detect they are using mimicry.

 

　But the shortcomings were completely covered by the darkness and the light from the Cantera Bat.

 

　They hid their front side by turning their backs on the heroes and using mimicry.

 

 

“Come on, run! Let’s get in place! It’s been a long time since we’ve had a big job!” (Dead Tree)

 

 

 

 

“… What’s going on here?” (Jilheart)

 

 

　The two of them were finally at a loss for words.

 

　“Did I walk around for about ten minutes while being guided by the Cantera bat?”, thought Jilheart

 

　In front of them is another landmark—a tree trunk with the name of Elma engraved inside the heart symbol.

 

 

　Jilheart and Elma hurriedly look around.

 

　However, they couldn’t recognize the surrounding sight.

 

　They don’t understand what’s happening anymore.

 

 

“It looks like we’re lost…” (Elma)

Advertisements

 

“…” (Jilheart)

 

 

　Jilheart couldn’t afford to laugh at Elma’s obvious remarks.

 

　He was beginning to realize the strangeness of this dungeon.

 

 

　Come to think of it, they haven’t come across any monster yet.

 

　The Cantera bat that flies overhead is also a monster, but it just illuminates the destination and there is no sign of it attacking us.

 

　It’s become rather creepy.

 

　Only the hooting of the owl echoes in the forest…

 

 

“Well, let’s rest Jilheart! I’m feeling hungry!” (Elma)

 

“Of course! I’m hungry too! Haha!” (Jilheart)

 

 

　The feeling of “fear” swiftly crossed their thoughts, but they deceived themselves by feigning laughter.

 

 

“Oh, how about over there !? There’s an available stump! Let’s sit over there and take a short break!” (Elma)

 

“Good! Elma let’s go!” (Jilheart)

 

 

　Elma finds a stump illuminated by the Cantera Bat and walks towards it.

 

　However–

 

 

“Eh–kyaaa!?”

 

 

　There is a sound similar to the cloth being torn, and soon there was a loud sound of tearing cloth, and soon Elma’s scream can be heard.

 

　For some reason, Elma’s clothes while approaching the stump were torn like they were done by an invisible force.

 

 

“What’s wrong Elma!?” (Jilheart)

 

“Hmm, my clothes… got caught in a branch…! (Elma)

 

 

　Bam! There is a particularly loud noise and Elma falls.

 

　Jilheart hurriedly rescued her from falling.

 

 

“Elma, are you injured?” (Jilheart)

 

“I’m not injured, but my clothes…!” (Elma)

 

 

　Most of Elma’s clothes were torn by the shrubs on the side of the stump, becoming just pieces of cloth caught on the tip of the branches.

 

 

　――The heroes who grew up in the port town don’t know, but the shrub is called Hisia shrub.

 

　Also known as “Stripper Shrub”.

 

　Countless special thorns only latch onto the fibers of clothing.

 

　So it’s just a joke plant that specializes in ripping off clothes.

 

 

“You’re not injured, that’s good…” (Jilheart)

 

 

　Jilheart noticed something after talking to her.

 

　Elma, who has her clothes ripped badly, has become very sensual.

 

 

“…”  (Jilheart)

 

 

　Jilheart swallowed.

 

　Of course, since Elma and Jilheart are lovers, it is not uncommon for them to spend some time together.

 

　However, the current state of Elma puts Jilheart in quite a heated state.

 

 

　She was wearing a pure white sacred robe that only those who serve God are allowed to wear.

 

　Now she is barely covered.

 

　Furthermore, from the gaps and tears, Elma’s pale thighs and full “mounds”, which are usually hidden by her clothes, are sensually peeking through.

 

　What an erotic view…

 

 

　Finally, Jilheart comes to his senses and goes near Elma.

 

 

“Oh, sorry! Good thing you’re not sick! Here! I’ll lend you my jacket!” (Jilheart)

 

“…” (Elma)

 

 

　Jilheart hurriedly presents his jacket.

 

　Elma is usually not very enthusiastic about such things.

 

　Of course, the principle of being chaste is important for being a priestess, and in the first place, she also wants to keep her chastity.

 

　Jilheart knowing that he was in such a  precarious situation, it was obvious that he would be in for a sermon.

 

　This situation has now the source of Jilheart’s worries …

 

 

　–Suddenly, Jilheart felt something warm pressed on his back.

 

　Looking behind him, Elma is pressing her “mounds” against his back.

 

 

“What’s wrong Elma…? (Jilheart)

 

“Well… Jilheart, you know that I wouldn’t do this as a servant of God…” (Elma)

 

 

　Elma looks up at Jilheart with quite the burning gaze.

 

　Wet lips and flushed cheeks.

 

　And her warm breathy sigh tickled my nose.

 

 

“My body is… Burning.” (Jilheart)

 

 

　To an unexpectedly aggressive Elma—crack.

 

　Jilheart heard the sound of his reason cracking from within himself.

 

 

“E-Elma!” (Jilheart)

 

 

　Jilheart moved towards Elma and pushed her down over the stump.

 

　He can’t think of anything anymore.

 

　Taking off his magic sword and armor one after another, soon he is naked as the day he was born.

 

　He also tore off the remains of Elma’s robe like a hungry beast.

 

 

“Wow Elma, isn’t it quite aggressive today!” (Jilheart)

 

“Well, even I… There are days when I too feel like this…” (Elma)

 

 

　Every word of the usually calm and poised Elma was now burning with passion.

 

　We’re no longer in the middle of the dungeon in my mind, not a strand of any other thought.

 

 

“Oh, your so cute…! I love you! I love you–!” (Jilheart)

 

 

　Jilheart’s head is dyed pink, and he tries to call her attention by speaking Elma’s name.

 

　Then–

 

 

“My beloved Mireille!”

 

 

　—The name of a completely different woman that popped out of Jilheart’s mouth.

 

 

“What?” (Elma)

 

“Eh?” (Jilheart)

 

 

　The flame that was burning between them was extinguished in an instant.

 

　On the contrary, the temperature drops sharply.

 

 

　Thick greasy sweat dripped down Jilheart’s face.

 

　Elma, on the other hand, sent quite the frosty glare to Jilheart that could have froze him on the spot.

 

 

“Oh no, what I…” (Jilheart)

 

“—Did you just call me Mireille?” (Elma)

 

“No, what I meant…” (Jilheart)

 

“Who is she?” (Jilheart)

 

 

　――By the way, there was an owl staring at them from the top of the Hisia tree.

 

　This owl is called the Echo Owl.

 

 

　A very skillful monster (Employee) who specializes in mimicking voices.
