Unorthodox Guild

The Demon King's Castle, the Torture Chamber.

"..."

It was just a little different from what Yura had imagined.

A soft, large bed, goose feather pillows, a private bathroom, and adjustable heating...

To accommodate the lack of light on the basement level, there's even a huge magical projection that serves as a window—quite thoughtful.

So rather than an interrogation room, it's more like a chic loft for singles, and the kind that's not cheap for a month.

"..."

Feeling the warm breeze blowing in her face, Yura's mood was inexplicably complicated.

"Um, are the torture chambers for humans this nice...?"

Judging from Yura's wide-eyed expression, this room was perhaps a little more comfortable than hers.

"Lord Yura."

"Humans are prone to problems when the environment is even slightly harsh."

The guard beside him said with a serious expression, "The hard-won achievements on the front lines must not be allowed to go wrong in our Demon King's City, don't you agree?"

"..."

"Yes, you're right."

Yura, being the new leader of the Demon King's castle, quickly changed her mindset.

He shook his head and stopped thinking about the heating.

Then, I turned my gaze deeper into the room...

"No!!!"

Just as she turned her attention to the torture chamber.

The screams of a human girl came at just the right moment from the innermost part of the torture chamber.

"Take that thing away! No, don't put it in front of me..."

"..."

The screams clearly indicated that inside the room, the young knight named Noelle was undergoing intense, cruel, inhuman, and indescribable torture.

"Gulp."

Hearing the wails coming from deep within the room, Yura couldn't help but swallow hard.

"That's it."

"Wasn't it a bit...?"

"Don't worry, Lord Yura."

"Today, Lady Vivian is in charge of the interrogation."

His gaze turned toward the inner room.

There seemed to be a hint of pity for that human in his eyes.

"You should know her methods all too well."

............

............

When Noelle was suffering in the Demon King's castle.

"Ugh..."

The white-haired girl also suffers in the Forest of Cuteness.

"Boss, please help Elisa..."

[Blue Slime: lv 03]

The blue slime had already wrapped itself around the girl's body.

[Blue Slime: lv 02] [Blue Slime: lv 03].......

The division of labor seemed quite clear: a few controlled the hands and feet, while the others had already entered Elisa's dress, digesting the girl's already thin outer garment.

It was slippery and wiggled against the skin.

The bio-electric current emitted by her made it impossible for Elisa to exert any strength.

"These guys..."

It's just about defeating some monsters, why does it feel like flj is giving out freebies?

Looking at the white thing on the grass, Kaya was speechless.

In his mind, slimes were already the most insignificant monsters imaginable.

Even an adult who hasn't been trained as an adventurer is fully capable of defeating it, let alone the fact that he just explained the monster's weaknesses.

To his surprise, even in such a small guild, there were two guys who could be captured by slimes.

Didn't I tell you to be careful?

"Yes, I'm sorry, boss, please don't just stare at Elisa... Ugh..."

It seems that something strange was touched by the slime.

Elisa suddenly clenched her white teeth, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.

"..."

"Then I'll take the slime out; it might touch my skin or something."

"The whole thing was recorded, so don't even think about reporting me to your uncle and framing me..."

"Ugh, Elisa won't mind, I hate recordings, hurry up and tell me..."

"..."

"Then I'll go."

After chanting a simple paralysis countermeasure spell, Kaya no longer hesitated.

Take a deep breath...

"Hmm."

It's soft and bouncy, and cool to the touch, just like jelly. It feels really nice.

"Boss, that..."

"What's wrong?"

He looked at Elisa in front of him.

For some reason, the girl's face had a faint blush.

Seemingly deliberately avoiding Kaya's gaze, she turned her head away the instant she looked at him.

"Um, um..."

"The one the boss touched was a slime..."

"I know."

Kaya closed her eyes and said, "This one is quite big; I can feel it. Just don't move around."

"I hate you."

"?"

............

............

"Gurgle..."

As the slime made a sound of being defeated.

After more than ten minutes, Kaya finally dealt with the last slime.

"..."

Open the backpack: put the broken slime core into the storage bag, and carefully put the slime into a glass bottle.

Although slimes are low-level monsters, this material has surprisingly wide applications, so we shouldn't waste it.

"It's strange that there are so many slimes on the outskirts of the forest."

After putting several bottles full of blue liquid into his backpack, Kaya looked towards the grassy area not far away.

"Waaah..."

Ever since he dealt with the slime on Elisa, that guy has been squatting to the side drawing circles.

"..."

Did I make her angry?

But I thought to myself, I didn't do anything too outrageous... Oh well.

Kaya shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Their attention was drawn back to the blue slime remaining on the ground.

"In the past, slimes would never attack humans on their own initiative."

This creature, which is at the bottom of the food chain, feeds on various fabrics and fallen leaf scraps and is not a carnivorous monster.

Not to mention that humans often specifically hunt slimes for materials, so slimes should usually run away when they see humans.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the white thing with its dress torn and tattered not far away.

"Ugh... these clothes are so expensive... Damn slime... the boss is an idiot..."

"..."

There's an easy-to-understand explanation: the decrease in the number of adventurers has led to an increase in the number of monsters.

He withdrew his gaze from Elisa: An increase in numbers would lead to food shortages, thus driving monsters to attack humans...

"With the rage of the sun compressed into a single moment, it tears, expands, and engulfs..."

However, the Forest of Moe is a low-level secret realm, and there has only ever been one guild, Lilia's, nearby, so there haven't been many adventurers in the past.

He kicked the blue slime that had appeared at his feet again without him noticing, and the magical quality of the monster material was much higher than before.

"......"

So Kaya always felt that...

"The increase in the number of monsters doesn't seem to be that simple... Never mind."

This is something the royal family should consider; it has little to do with an adventurer like me who earns less than 100 million gold coins a month.

He shook his head: "Today's mission is to test Elisa's combat abilities, let's get down to business first... What do you want to do, Feed!"

"Destroy the boss...destroy the slime, and don't move around, boss."

Did you accidentally let it slip?

"S-olar shock!!" (Explosive Flame Impact!!)
