EP.6 Chapter 6 That woman is a vulgar and dirty woman who was violated by monsters.
While Yulia was creating the aphrodisiac trap, I moved to the dungeon entrance.
The exterior of the dungeon was just as important as the interior.
How it appears to those trying to conquer it.
This was a more important factor than one might think.
It shouldn't look too insignificant, but it also shouldn't look too strong.
In the former case, adventurers wouldn't come often enough, stagnating growth, while in the latter case, too strong enemies would appear too quickly, causing trouble.
Finding the middle ground.
Is there anything as difficult as the word "moderate" in this world?
I checked the dungeon entrance.
Unlike the internal structure I had already shaped, the exterior looked like an ordinary cave visible among ordinary forests.
Trees that had grown wildly without any management, moss and bushes growing haphazardly on the cliff connected to the cave.
Some vines flowed down to the cave entrance, partially covering it.
From the outside, it was hard to see it as a dungeon.
"Not many would think this is a dungeon."
It seemed difficult to recognize easily unless one was an adventurer who could innately sense the presence of dungeons.
'This way, nearby villagers who've lost their way might come in.'
In this game of creating and managing dungeons, the thing to avoid most was rumors from villagers.
The rumor event that occurs when a villager accidentally enters the dungeon and goes missing or dies.
That's why if there was an event where a villager entered the dungeon, we would hide monsters and temporarily disable traps.
For good reason.
Killing villagers gave negligible experience, less than dust, so there was no benefit in killing them.
Rather than gaining that and losing fame, it's better to let them go alive.
Of course, there were various ways to send them back.
Methods like casting confusion magic and sending them back, or secretly changing the dungeon structure to make it look like an ordinary cave.
But it's troublesome.
If we miss someone accidentally entering, it becomes a disaster, so it's better to prevent it.
In other words, to prevent villagers from coming and for rapid dungeon growth, we needed to change the entrance's appearance.
"How should I make it?"
I pondered for a moment before creating.
Should I put up a sign?
[Dungeon, Dangerous, Do Not Enter.]
This would make people want to enter even more.
They'd enter out of curiosity.
Rather than such a sign.
'It would be better to add threatening decorations.'
As I thought about changing the dungeon's exterior, the cliff around the cave moved on its own.
Rumble!
Some parts were carved away, while some sunken parts rose up.
As this happened, a stone-carved bust began to form on the wall next to the cave entrance.
One face of a ferocious monster.
I modeled the face after the gargoyle's.
I couldn't think of any better form.
And with such decorations, it won't seem strange to have a gargoyle standing inside.
An ominous aura emanated from its gruesome appearance.
'At least villagers won't approach easily.'
It will give adventurers of appropriate levels interest in conquering, while instilling fear in villagers who don't contribute to experience.
Of course, when the dungeon becomes famous later, strong adventurers will pour in despite these efforts, but this was a means to get through the early stages smoothly.
"This should be good enough for now."
I decided to be satisfied.
There's no point in making it look stronger than this.
After checking the entrance again, I went back inside the dungeon.
"It's ready. It's the same type of aphrodisiac mist used on that priestess."
Yulia, who had absorbed the adventurers' corpses and created the aphrodisiac trap, said.
A small room not far from the dungeon entrance.
The room entrance was open, and inside was a small chest.
An elaborate iron chest, not excessively ornate but not shabby either.
A chest that seemed to contain appropriate rewards, tempting adventurers into the room.
At least novices would fall for this trap.
Even adventurers with excessive confidence.
It was a trap that cautious adventurers wouldn't fall for, but that didn't matter.
It wasn't a trap aimed at them anyway.
"I designed it so that when adventurers pass through this door and touch the chest, the door will naturally close and aphrodisiac mist will spray out. Those caught in the trap will be unable to come to their senses and will see hallucinations."
I nodded at Yulia's words.
Not bad.
It was a simple trap with a definite effect.
I inwardly admired her ability to create such an effective trap in this short time.
"Let's check it for a moment."
"Feel free to check as much as you like."
I entered the trap.
Thud!
As I entered and touched the chest, the door hidden behind the wall closed.
The thick door had no handle and seemed impossible to open from the inside.
Simultaneously, pink mist poured out.
Ordinary adventurers would all be caught up in the aphrodisiac effects emitted by this mist.
A sticky and dense atmosphere would be created, and this place would be in chaos.
"Excellent."
Praising Yulia's ability, I forcibly opened the gap visible between the doors.
Creak!
"The durability is disappointing. If it gives way to my strength, A-rank or higher adventurers could easily escape."
"I'm sorry. The power absorbed from the adventurers was weak..."
I waved my hand at Yulia, who bowed her head apologetically.
"It's fine. I expected this much."
This must be the limit with the power the dungeon has absorbed from adventurers so far.
Rather, I was surprised that such an elaborate trap was made with so little power.
"This is enough for the trap. Considering the level of adventurers coming soon, it's even excessively elaborate."
"Thank you."
Yulia's small wings fluttered as she bowed politely.
The fluttering of the bat-like wings unique to succubi on her waist was cuter than expected.
'Her emotions are clearly shown in her wings.'
Unlike her stoic expression, her wings were honest.
Do succubi's emotions always show in their wings?
I couldn't know that far, but at least it was clear she spoke through her wings.
"Let's go back. This is enough."
"Yes, understood."
"I'm tired after using my body after so long."
Even the Demon King is a living being.
No matter how strong, the fatigue accumulating in the body was unavoidable.
Moreover, I was in a state of having just awakened again.
Very unstable, and at the same time weak.
Although I easily subdued C-rank and below veteran adventurers, I was in a weak state by this world's standards.
Adequate rest was essential.
On the way back, Yulia said.
"I'll prepare a bath for you as soon as we return."
"Is there a bathtub?"
"You may not know, My Lord, but you enjoyed bathing even before being sealed and falling asleep."
The previous Demon King had quite a nice hobby.
"A bath. Not bad."
"I'll prepare it with a scent you'll like, My Lord."
"Alright. Please do."
To think I'd be able to take a bath on my first day as the Demon King.
This other world might be more livable than I thought?
Except for the fact that I might die, that is.

"Haa, haa. G-God..."
She couldn't see anything around her.
She didn't know how long it had been since the succubus had tied her up and left.
Her entire day was spent resisting the gradually increasing sensitivity while reciting prayers.
Neither the succubus who had restrained her and cast magic, nor the demon who had annihilated their party, had come.
She was just trapped in the illusions shown by the blindfold the succubus had put on her.
"Please, li-listen to the prayer of your little lamb... Heut! Pl-please listen... Ooh!!"
Was it because she was infected by pleasure?
No matter how earnestly she prayed, God did not respond to her words.
In her desperate eyes...
"Wi-Williams sir..."
She saw Williams mixing bodies with Andy.
The leader of the adventurer party whom she had secretly admired.
That man who always led the adventurer party with his strong power and gallant swordsmanship.
That man who was in a position she could never reach, as she had devoted her body to God.
He who must have died at the hands of the demon who violated her.
"Haa, haa. How is it, Williams?"
"Andy, you're squeezing too tight..."
"I told you. I can do better than that tasteless priestess who doesn't know how to embrace."
"You're right, Andy. Kuh! If you squeeze like that, I might cum inside."
"It's okay if you do. Cum. Fill me up. Put the captain's seed inside me."
He was pressing flesh against flesh with Andy, who must have also died at the hands of the demon.
Why are these two in my eyes?
Weren't they dead?
It was too vivid to dismiss as a simple illusion.
The smell, sound, and vibrations felt from them were too real.
Even if she wanted to close her eyes and ignore this scene, it felt even more vivid.
No. No.
That place should have originally been mine.
I hadn't even conveyed my feelings to Williams.
Don't embrace her.
Don't embrace that woman.
That woman is a vulgar and dirty woman who was violated by monsters.
Rather embrace me, the devout one, embrace me.
Me, whose body was taken but whose heart is still pure.
"Ah, forgive this sinful little lamb..."
I've gone mad.
To have such wicked thoughts.
I've been seduced by the demons' tricks.
Get a hold of yourself.
I must endure.
Somehow until the rescue team comes.
Until the guild finds the missing party and comes to save her.
"Forgive me."
Amy gathered her wits until the end, swimming in illusions she couldn't escape even with her eyes closed.

"My Lord, it's ready."
It was quite a luxurious bathtub.
Who would have thought there was such a bathhouse in the dungeon basement.
"You've put in a lot of effort."
"I made it myself during the long time you were sealed."
Yulia bowed her head deeply.
Steam rising from the bath.
A subtle fragrance that tickled the nose.
Just standing around without even entering the bath made me feel comfortable.
"Well done. Very well done."
"Thank you."
Flutter flutter.
Ignoring the fluttering wings, I took off my clothes.
"I'll take your clothes. I'll leave fresh clothes here for you to change into, so please enjoy at your leisure."
Yulia left after saying this.
Well then, shall I enjoy for a while?
I immersed my body in the hot water.
"Heuuh."
It feels good.
It really feels like all the fatigue I felt today is melting away.
It feels insanely refreshing.
This is the life.
"Huuu."
As I was enjoying the heat of the warm bath.
Knock knock.
"I'm coming in, My Lord."
I heard the voice of Yulia, who had taken my clothes away.
Creak.
As the door opened.
"I'll scrub your back for you."
The succubus Yulia entered, her body covered in a long robe.
