EP.931 Part 2 Chapter 8 Section 16 Cube

Light Blade Awakening.

While gaming, Shin-ra managed to awaken the Light Blade technique.

I watched alongside Seok Harang as Shin-ra played, munching popcorn at the results of her trolling – or rather, the trolling by heroines she enabled.

“So, it finally came out.”

“…Oh.”

Seok Harang scrunched up her face in genuine disgust upon seeing her father (TS), especially since it was her mother’s body that had been TS’d. Just how awful must that be from a daughter’s perspective?

“I told you, right? That place is a power plant that extracts magic power from the Light Blade.”

“Yeah, but it’s somewhere official heroes can’t go. The fact that villain lieutenants are getting assaulted there is because those villains have political connections.”

Political Villains.

In martial arts terms, they’re the evil sects colluding with authorities. In modern noir terms, they’re political gangsters.

Known in-game as the Pine Tree Brigade, their influence has spread beyond just an insignia to encompass entire divisions, earning them the alternate title of Political Villains.

And this lab is both the Political Villains’ base and the research facility run by Cheong Song.

Naturally, no official rescue team could be sent here.

But now the Light Blade has arrived.

“Teams to distract externally while others infiltrate internally… This situation arose because only four people, including the Commander, can use the underground passage.”

– “This is bad! The vent can’t handle more than one extra person!”

– “Crap! What about Nuri?”

– “Even Nuri might not fit. Looks like four of us will have to go. Commander, we four…”

– “That won’t do. Su Ri will command outside. I’ll take three down below. Distract them as long as possible outside. Got it?”

Thus, external distractions were set up.

The level of chaos caused by these external distractions determines the strength of enemies arriving.

“Harang, didn’t you do some game streaming recently?”

“Hm.”

“When you’re three stars versus five stars, the quantity and quality of police dispatched differ, right?”

“After seven stars, the military shows up.”

“It’s the same principle.”

Currently, Mint Chocolate’s antics could be rated ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆.

“The fact that the Light Blade broke free while still in Rusalka form means things are serious.”

Up to five stars, the Pine Tree Brigade deploys fully.

At six stars, Heo Yoon-hwan (Slippers) appears.

Mint Chocolate’s chaos reached an astonishing seven stars.

“Didn’t Big Brother come out in his pajamas and slippers?”

“That’s right.”

He used magic power to break through the concrete covering the cube, blasting straight through to the basement.

The Light Blade we fought back then was six-star level.

Though there’s a five-year gap between in-game Heo Yoon-hwan and reality, I’m certain:

“The Light Blade we fought against is weaker than the Heo Yoon-hwan standing there.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I know well.”

After two decades studying Rusalka on Earth and turning the Light Blade into a monster, I’ve developed some understanding of Heo Yoon-hwan’s existence within the game.

“If the Light Blade uses magic power in Rusalka form, it becomes permanently stuck in that state. Know what happens then?”

“What does ‘permanent’ mean?”

“Know what happens when a TS-syndrome man gets pregnant?”

“How would I know!”

“They turn into a woman.”

Not just female-bodied, but truly ‘maternal’ women.

Same goes for Heo Yoon-hwan.

The Light Blade avoided stepping out as Heo Yoon-hwan to preserve its masculinity.

Yet now it chooses to fight as Heo Yoon-hwan?

“Looks like your future father-in-law is becoming a mother-in-law.”

“Isn’t there any way to stop this?”

“Why so worried?”

I patted Seok Harang.

“It’s just a game. It’s not like Shin-ra plans to violate the Light Blade while it’s female.”

“Even if some other guy takes our dad’s virginity, right?”

“……”

“What, you’re speechless!”

“Just thinking there might be a possibility…”

The Death Dinass of the Blue Sky enjoys passionate situations.

And the Light Blade/Rusalka setup occasionally creates extremely intense scenarios.

“Having another man eat away at the body possessed by your beloved? One couldn’t endure without mental collapse.”

If that happened to me, I’d have broken down too.

Back in Phoenix days, if my Chang-yeom body had been penetrated and deflowered by some guy, I’d have likely committed psychological suicide.

Then the real Phoenix would have awakened, causing Chang-yeom to vanish from the spirit world, leading to a bad ending.

If I couldn’t bear it, how much worse for the Light Blade…

“Damn.”

I know.

Though I used ‘machinery’ with Hikari’s help back then, I understand all too well.

Heo Yoon-hwan…

…is a character who can be romanced.

“Don’t tell Harang though.”

“What? Is Dad going to get eaten by players?”

“…I didn’t say anything.”

“Bullshit. My goddess knows everything from your expression alone. What are you hiding?”

“…I haven’t touched Heo Yoon-hwan.”

That’s true according to my bonus data.

Anyway.

Due to Shin-ra deploying three officers to troll around,

In the Earth scenario Shin-ra plays, the Light Blade will inevitably become Rusalka/Heo Yoon-hwan.

“Harang, is saving the Light Blade better for it, or letting it die?”

“…Don’t know. That’s not my dad. You killed him, remember?”

“True enough.”

We decided to focus on Shin-ra.

It’s time to finally meet Professor H.

* * *

<In-Game, Lab Basement ???>

Creak.

The door opened.

Stepping into the pitch-black room lit by no lamps, my comrades and I entered.

“Light.”

As instructed, Yuna illuminated the area.

The room brightened with beams of light-speed magic power, revealing a familiar laboratory setting.

“This is…”

“This must be where Professor H who asked us for help is located.”

My instincts tell me so.

The walkthrough I possess confirms it.

Professor H and Hikari are here.

“There’s nothing here?”

“Can you sense anyone?”

“Not at all. Nuri, do you sense anything?”

“…Nothing. Can’t see anything.”

The three couldn’t find Hikari anywhere.

With no time to waste, I approached where Hikari might be hiding.

“I can find her. Why?”

Swoosh.

“…There’s no way I wouldn’t find a woman, right?”

Bang.

I extended my hand toward the wall.

Leaning forward while touching the seemingly empty wall,

“Boss, why you trying to kiss the wall?”

“Wall? Look closely.”

I lowered my head.

Though it appeared empty, I knew exactly where to press my lips.

Smack.

Onto my palm.

I kissed my own palm, winking toward the empty air.

Zzzt.

The optical camouflage deactivated, revealing a woman whose mouth I covered with my hand.

Her emaciated skin showed she was average height but had wrists and ankles as thin as Nuri’s.

“Hello, Professor?”

“…How did you know I was here?”

“Because you’re a woman.”

Hide-and-seek only lasts the first loop.

From the second loop onward, even tea bagging becomes possible.

-Where’s the professor? What should we do?

-…Huh? I feel something in the air? It’s all squishy and soft. Like clam flesh, my fingers sink right in…

-Kyaahh!!

Such situations can occur.

But I made Hikari reveal herself by kissing my palm.

‘Time for bondage or spanking hasn’t come yet.’

After rescuing her, Hikari needs to eat properly until she’s strong enough for sex without pain.

“Looks like you’ve been eating pineapple pizza and mint chocolate every day. Once this is over and I have time, let’s go eat something good.”

“Really…?”

“Yeah. At least something different from what you’ve been having daily.”

Ah, poor thing.

Thinking of this Japanese princess with refined tastes reduced to eating pineapple pizza and mint chocolate twice or thrice weekly brought tears to my eyes.

‘Eating strawberries daily might have kept her healthier.’

Making her strawberry pasta and chicken would surely please her.

I reassured the professor while pointing downward.

“What’s that?”

“…As expected from the Commander. You know about it.”

“Of course.”

“What? Tell us already.”

Naturally, it’s insider knowledge.

“Listen carefully. Beneath this lab lies…

* * *

“Big Brother, there are cubes. Two together trigger sex mode, right?”

“Mm.”

“Exactly what kind of situation?”

“Kind of like this.”

One cube can resurrect the dead.

Provided it’s recent death and the revived isn’t an ordinary human, miracles of resurrection occur.

When two cubes meet, true miracles happen.

“Stop fighting and start making love.”

“Huh?”

“When two cubes meet, they assess the situation. Ah, this is a sex scene. Then they make it happen. Create a very sensual atmosphere. Make everyone go gooey.”

“Glutton…”

Crunch.

Seok Harang grabbed my member.

“Big Brother, remember when I crawled deep underwater to bring back two cubes?”

“…”

“Got close to doing it then too, right?”

“…That was because I was Phoenix-”

Chomp.

Seok Harang sealed my lips with hers.

“Take me now, Big Brother.”

“Wait, shouldn’t I be taking you?”

“I prefer being taken. And…”

She pointed at Heo Yoon-hwan battling fiercely in-game.

“…Don’t look away. Take me now. Understand?”

Grrr.

Seok Harang’s body began shrinking.

Seeing her transformed form sent shivers down my spine.

“You…”

“I’m half mom, after all. Did some research.”

“I’m not a villainous path user!”

“What? I’m an adult.”

“Ahh.”

Then it’s okay, right?

“Hmm, from behind, holding tightly…”

I violated Harang-Rusalka while watching Shin-ra’s gameplay.

Committing the same act with Harang-Rusalka resembling the hard-fighting Heo Yoon-hwan.
