If there was one useful thing to be said about the orcs’ brutal abuse and rape of their prisoners, it was that their “demonic behavior” had made my disciplining much more convenient.
“Welcome, Eris.”
“What do I have to do this time?”
My subject for disciplining, Eris, had become far more obedient than before.
“Just tell me what to do. I’ll…cooperate with your plans.”
“Then I’ll be grateful.”
Although I was a disciplinarian, I was still only a disciplinarian, and Eris understood that there was nothing I could do to prisoners until they had become prisoners.
“Presenting: The Silver-Badge Adventurer’s Dungeon攻略.”
I brought Eris to the entrance of the disciplining room.
A long corridor and passageway stretched before us.
Since this was the prison district of the main dungeon belonging to the vampire army, its layout was much like that of a typical prison or fortress.
“From now on, you’re going to conquer this prison with that wooden sword.”
“.......”
Eris gripped the wooden training sword.
As a lady knight, even a wooden sword could become a fine weapon for killing, but Lilith was keeping an even closer eye than usual on Eris’s restraints.
“Don’t get any foolish ideas. The moment you do, the lewd seal engraved on your lower abdomen will activate and make you wet yourself right there.”
“Ugh….”
If she harbored any other intentions simply because she had a weapon in hand, Eris would immediately begin trembling and gush liquid below.
It would be fortunate if that was all she expelled.
More humiliating than having her juices gush out was a grown adult losing control at the height of her climax and wetting herself.
“I mentioned one reward last time, didn’t I? I’ll give you that reward today as well.”
Eris’s ears perked up.
“Don’t you want to take a bath?”
“.......”
“It felt good, didn’t it?”
“......You haven’t released any aphrodisiac, have you?”
Eris remained wary, but she did not object to the bath itself.
“If I had released an aphrodisiac, it wouldn’t be in the tub you’ll enter as a reward. It would be in a pit trap you’d fall into because you let your guard down.”
“.......”
“If you don’t fall into it, you won’t get addicted to the aphrodisiac. Then you can simply go wash yourself and take a bath. How about it?”
“......All right.”
Eris obediently nodded.
“If you’re calling them traps that won’t kill me…I’ll verify that myself.”
Eris gripped the wooden sword with renewed determination and stepped forward.
“This is going to be the dungeon that will one day open into Count Albathea’s territory—”
“Ahem.”
I covered Eris’s mouth with my hand and grinned.
“It’s still a secret. For now.”
“.......”
Eris nodded gravely and stepped forward.
* * *
Gripping the wooden sword, Eris wondered:
Could I really escape this dungeon with this wooden sword?
Impossible.
Though she was holding a weapon, the mana flowing through her body could neither strengthen her physique nor be imbued into the weapon because of her restraints.
Here, she possessed less strength than even a common maid, let alone an adventurer.
She was so utterly weak that she had been subdued and raped even by a disciplinarian who was an adventurer of a much lower rank than herself and had once served merely as a porter.
But she had seen it.
She had seen what the word “rape” truly revealed.
She had seen how that horrifying act manifested—the act she had always known of, the one people had repeatedly warned her to be careful of men because of.
Eris finally understood why her mother, Countess Albathea, regarded rape as a grave crime equivalent to murder and personally wielded her sword to execute rapists.
Watching the orcs rape their victims, she had felt the tension stretching taut as a cock leisurely rubbed itself inside a vagina before finally going slack.
How lucky had she been?
Whenever she secretly pricked up her ears to listen to the disciplinarian and his secretary, she had heard him say that there had been several subjects before her.
Among them, she had heard, were goblins and orcs.
Ah.
How incredibly lucky had she been?
Being forcibly stripped of her virginity was one thing, but the disciplining she received was not the kind of rape committed by goblins or orcs when they forcibly violated someone.
The disciplinarian’s rape was like this wooden sword.
Hard, solid, and violent, but compared to the bloody, real-sword-like rape inflicted by the orcs, it was far more humane.
Therefore—
If the day ever came when Count Albathea’s family had no choice but to fight the demon army—
Even so, blood was thicker than water. If she fought on the side influenced by a human disciplinarian, perhaps someone might survive instead of dying.
“Hah.”
Eris sighed.
Even knowing that the adventurers of Baron Gilbert’s territory were dying in such numbers, even knowing that all the newcomers who had arrived this time would eventually die as well, Eris turned away.
Disgust at the fact that she had survived.
The powerlessness of being unable to do anything for them.
And the selfishness of knowing that if she could do anything at all, it would be for Albathea rather than Gilbert.
Such complicated emotions tangled her thoughts.
And because of that—
Squish.
The sensation beneath the foot she cautiously placed forward felt somehow “mushy,” and her entire body prickled.
“Eek…?!”
One foot sank straight down.
Starting from the sole of her foot, past her ankle and even to her ankle bone, she plunged downward as something soft and squishy coiled around her ankle.
“You stepped on it.”
The disciplinarian’s voice came from behind her.
“Looks like you were thinking about something else.”
“Th-that’s….”
“If the slime you stepped on had been a poison slime instead of an aphrodisiac slime, your foot would be poisoned by now.”
“.......”
Eris swallowed hard.
“And if what you stepped on had been a man-eater…no. There’s no need to go that far.”
The disciplinarian seemed to mutter something about “ground spiders,” but the very word made gooseflesh rise from Eris’s ankle upward.
What if, instead of this soft, cushion-like slime, she had stepped into a nest where ground spiders were hiding?
“.......”
“Keep moving forward. We’ll count that as one death.”
“A-all right.”
Eris extended her foot ahead.
Every time she moved forward, slime squelched beneath her and her foot inexplicably grew hot, but Eris silently endured it and continued on.
Creak.
She carefully opened the door.
Just as if she were truly conquering a dungeon, she opened it with the utmost caution.
“.......”
Then she swept her gaze across the room.
It was a storeroom piled high with adventurers’ belongings, and Eris swallowed when she saw her own sword and armor among them.
“That’s your equipment. What, do you want to take it?”
“That’s….”
“As long as you’re a prisoner, I have no intention of returning it.”
“.......”
She knew that.
Once the restraints had been put on her, she could neither wield that iron sword nor put on her armor in the first place.
But if she could take up her sword—
If her restraints were removed and she could use her original strength—
She could—
“Eris.”
She could decisively cut this man down—
“Uh—”
With a clicking sound, the floor beneath her seemed to give way—
Splash!
“!!!”
Eris gripped the wooden sword tightly as a cold sensation rose to her waist.
“I called out to you. I didn’t expect you to actually fall for it.”
“.......”
Eris felt heat building intensely in her lower body.
The pit she had fallen into was filled with cold water, not hot spring water, yet her body was clearly heating up rapidly.
No.
Her face had already grown hot.
“Was the trap more effective than I expected? Strange. I never thought you’d fall into one from the very first room.”
“.......”
From humiliation.
“Hm….”
“W-wait.”
Eris tried to cover her burning face with her hands, but—
“Up you go.”
“!!”
The disciplinarian slipped his hands beneath her armpits from behind and lifted her straight up, leaving Eris unable even to hide her face.
“So even a Silver-rank adventurer will fall into a trap if her mind is somewhere else.”
“.......”
“I planned to spend the entire morning testing traps, but at this rate, we won’t even be in a position to test them.”
The disciplinarian’s hand moved toward the hem of her prison uniform.
The hem was so short that it barely covered her buttocks. Raising it even slightly would reveal her underwear completely.
“You’re soaked.”
“.......”
“Absolutely drenched in aphrodisiac.”
The disciplinarian lightly ran his hand over the mound of her wet underwear.
There was not the slightest hesitation in his touch.
“......!!”
It lasted only a brief moment, but Eris felt as though the place his hand touched had caught fire.
“What’s wrong?”
“Th-that’s….”
“Ah. You can’t stand because of the aphrodisiac? Then there’s nothing for it.”
The disciplinarian turned to face her.
“Hold on to me.”
He supported her thigh with one hand and lifted it.
“......!!”
She was suddenly pressed against him, but Eris could do nothing except surrender herself to the hand gripping her lower body.
That was how weak she was.
She could have brought the wooden sword in her hand down upon the disciplinarian’s head, but—
“W-wait a second. I feel something hard touching me down there…!”
“It’s my cock. You can ignore it.”
“Your cock…?!”
Eris could hardly concentrate.
Instead, her mind continued to focus on something else.
“You’re erect right now….”
“Oh, right.”
Still holding her, the disciplinarian looked her in the face as though he had just remembered something.
“Eris.”
“W-why?”
“You know, the aphrodisiac. Masturbating will relieve it to some extent.”
“......Th—”
If he put his cock inside her, it would be easier to relieve the body heated by the aphrodisiac—
“.......”
“Why?”
“N-no.”
Eris swallowed the words that had risen to her throat and buried her face in his shoulder.
“It’s nothing.”
This was because of the aphrodisiac.
Because of the aphrodisiac, and because of the confusion caused by the successive rapes she had endured.
…No.
Could it even be called rape?
Compared to what the orcs had done, she—
“.......”
Eris could do nothing but close her eyes, grip the wooden sword tightly, and tremble.
Clink, clink.
The long prison corridor.
Every iron cell meant to hold prisoners stood completely empty.
* * *
“The aphrodisiac slime pool worked better than expected, didn’t it?”
“Yes. Far beyond expectations. The fact that it doesn’t look suspicious to begin with….”
“Say, would it be a bit much if I installed explosive collars that detonated when stepped on instead of aphrodisiac slime pools?”
“......I think they would be fine outdoors.”
The effectiveness of the aphrodisiac slime pit trap had been proven to some extent through Eris.
