Gerhart's Reality-
Planet Chudyria-
Primo's Side-
Primo, now officially part of Hiko's Heroic Group, was grinding the last five floors of the 6th-tier dungeon along with the five won.
Now, as a party with five divine-blooded females plus an even more powerful insider, they only lacked levels and combat experience, so they repeatedly dived into the dungeon to get Magic Stones for leveling up.
However, they were so strong that they didn't need to work together to clear the dungeon, so Primo made a bold suggestion-
"Why not split up and clear the dungeon in three groups? We can clear it faster that way."
Thinking there was a point in his words, the won split into three groups of two. They decided to spend two days and one night in the dungeon every ti before returning and switching partners, simulating real-world survival situations and increasing party cohesion. And they also wanted to spend more alone ti with Primo- But that was just a side reason. Maybe.
In the first cycle, Primo got paired with Hiko. The exploration with her was the most leisurely since she rely cast a Sacred Spell on them, making all undead creatures lt like snow when they walked over.
Because of this, they had plenty of ti alone, where Hiko would endlessly talk with him about her world and Primo's life(While discreetly asking about his love life) and slowly close the distance between them on her initiative. And when night ca, she lay her head on his lap and soundly slept, drool staining his pants. It didn't take a genius to tell she trusted him wholeheartedly. Or perhaps it wasn't as naive as that since when she woke up the next day, Hiko had a disappointed look as if expecting him to make a move on her at night.
Primo would make so moves on her, but he was scared that if he screwed up, things would quickly go wrong. So he pretended not to notice, like so straight-laced good guy. Instead, he silently poured so energy into her through their contact. It was a small amount, just enough that she wouldn't notice the difference, thinking it was just a dream. Her corruption rate rose by 1% that night, and there was no noticeable difference.
He didn't know how her Unique Talent, Unblemishable Golden Self, worked, but it didn't diminish her corruption level like with the Echo, Laverne. At least, not yet. Perhaps it was like a hidden disease, where her talent didn't resist if she didn't perceive the symptoms. All the corruption did was make her think he was slightly more handso, and that was all.
For the other won, things greatly varied.
His second exploration was with Princess Libania, the now white-haired princess knight, who was more professional than Hiko. Unlike Hiko, they fought the undead more seriously, avoiding traps and finding treasure chests. However, while she was a princess, perhaps because of it, she was bolder and more open-minded.
"Sir Primo, would you like to marry any of us after our journey ends?" Princess Libania smiled and asked while they were eating on a break.
"Hm? Perhaps. You are all wonderful won, so I am not against the idea. It is just that I am still left undecided for the ti being." Primo half-earnestly answered.
At least, if he weren't who he was, that would have likely been the case.
"Strong and influential n have harems, and you can marry several of us. I am not against the idea, and I am sure everyone except Saintess Hiko would not be against it. At least, until she got used to our world." Princess Libania gently smiled.
She was the first among the won in the group to make the suggestion. However, as she said, Hiko would likely be against it due to her cultural values. Unlike the won of this world, she wouldn't tolerate sharing her man. At least, not yet. If he gave her several years, her disposition might gradually change. Or perhaps when her corruption reached a high enough point, she wouldn't mind or even encourage it.
Unlike the easy Hiko, Princess Libania didn't seduce him, instead retaining a more professional approach and sleeping close but not too close while wearing her armor. That was already showing a high level of trust. But if he took the next step and tried actively seducing her, he didn't know what would happen, so he refrained from it for now.
On the third exploration was Princess Lydia, the adventurer and wind archer. Although professional when fighting, she was a cheerful and peppy young lady during breaks, very gossipy even. But that was a mask to hide her vulnerable inner self. At night, she would cry in her sleep, so in a gesture of goodwill, Primo wrapped a blanket around her and didn't take advantage of her vulnerability, even healing her(Although it had the side effect of raising corruption). The following morning, she seed more conscious of him as the opposite sex and a potential love interest.
On the fourth exploration was Scarlet, the Blood Rage. Contrary to her na, Scarlet was the calst and most gentle person Primo knew. It was especially so after she gained two talents to restrain her berserker personality. With an oversized Warhamr in her hands, she smashed hordes of undead to pieces with the sa mask of calmness on her face.
During their food breaks, Scarlet told him about her past. Her mother was an adventurer who died on a mission when she was young, so Abiah raised her by himself. Abiah had to beco absent during missions, so he left Scarlet in the capital with the royal family. Since her mother had a good relationship with Lydia's mother, Scarlet was half-adopted into the royal family and was Lydia's playmate.
However, at the ti, Scarlet and Lydia were both Late Bloors, and aside from their pretty looks, they were regular girls and often attended tea parties together.
Perhaps due to jealousy, relative weakness, or wanting to curry favor with the other princelings, they, especially herself, got bullied by the others due to being unable to harm Lydia, a princess. While Lydia stood up for her, that didn't stop them from their bullying. It only got worse since she had a ek and good-natured personality and didn't want to make Abiah worry.
"They did many bad things to . They called nas, spilled drinks on my dresses, snatched my books, and cut my hair short to make more pretty, but I still endured it. But one day, they made the fatal mistake of stealing my doll, my mother's keepsake, and burning it. That only hurt my feelings and made cry, but Lydia was furious and confronted the girls. Perhaps in a mont of anger, they made an irrational decision and slapped Lydia, which escalated to wanting to sha her and teach her a lesson she won't forget. When I saw this, I finally snapped. I later found myself bathed in blood and mangled corpses around . Lydia was the only survivor, who I subconsciously spared from my frenzy. The poor girl still blas herself for my sins.
They spared from punishnt due to my young age, protecting royalty and avoiding a scandal that would cost an A-rank adventurer. But my father quit his active adventuring life, taking to Vlita, away from the capital, and started teaching how to control myself. You know? I am not an ambitious woman. I only want peace of mind, a loving family, and a regular life. Thanks to Hiko's blessings, I already received the gift I wanted. I want to repay Hiko for this gift through my services before retiring, my debt repaid." Scarlet said with a serene look.
After speaking with her, Primo realized he completely misunderstood Scarlet. She was an unambitious girl who wanted to build a regular life.
"Never judge a book by its cover." Primo thought.
"And what about you, Sir Primo? What is your ambition?" Scarlet asked.
"I guess I also want a peaceful life. When our journey ends, I plan to settle down sowhere and start a family, perhaps taking requests occasionally or teaching swordsmanship." Primo replied.
"That sounds nice. Do you have soone in mind? Or perhaps several? You are quite popular, you know." Scarlet smiled.
"I am still left undecided. What about you?" Primo warily smiled.
"? I don't have many demands of my future man, and I am willing to share. I only care whether he is good at heart, kind, strong enough, and unafraid of ." Scarlet said before leaning forward with narrowed eyes. "Tell , Primo. Are you afraid of ?"
"No," Primo replied.
"Even if I were to get angry?" Scarlet continued asking, advancing more, her finger reaching out to caress Primos's shaved chin.
"I know you won't hurt ." Primo confidently said.
"And even if you do, it wouldn't hurt much with our strength gap," Primo added in his heart.
"As long as you won't anger ," Scarlet said, lightly caressing his cheek. "I won't mind if you hurt , but don't do overly bad things, especially hurting Lydia... Or I will get angry."
There was a not-so-subtle threat in her words, her fiery eyes turning as icy as a glacier.
"If she thinks I hard Lydia, she would throw caution to the wind and try killing with everything she has." That was what Primo instinctively understood.
"I won't harm her, that I can promise," Primo replied, his eyes unwavering.
He didn't consider conversion to hurt people as long as he treated them well.
"I will rember those words. Don't break your promise." Scarlet retracted her hand and returned to her usual self as if nothing happened.
Nothing noteworthy happened after that. At least, it seed like the relationship with Scarlet would progress the slowest for now.
And then is the fifth dive with Dontzia.
They didn't speak throughout the first day, even during breaks. Whenever Primo tried to start a conversation, Dontzia would give minimalistic replies, stopping the conversation in awkward silence.
Primo couldn't read her mood, so he didn't press her and let things go with the flow. And things indeed progressed at night- weirdly and unexpectedly.

On the 55th floor's safe zone-
Primo and Dontzia rested with no other adventurers in their area. After setting up a tent and so traps around them, they took turns to keep watch. It wasn't because they were in danger but more to simulate a dangerous environnt.
As for where the others were? With his connection to the dungeon, he confird they were on the 60th floor, and no other adventurer would disturb them.
However, during Dontzia's turn, sothing unexpected happened. Primo heard soone entering the tent as a hot body hugged him from the side.
"Dontzia, what are you doing?" Primo asked without opening his eyes.
"Sleeping," Dontzia replied.
"But you are now on guard duty," Primo said.
"No monster or human would bother us. We already set traps, and our senses are superhuman. Nothing would happen." Dontzia confidently said.
"Well, can't argue with that." Primo thought.
"Then why are you hugging ?" Primo asked.
"These last ten days, I couldn't sleep properly." She claid.
"You didn't look that tired, though," Primo replied.
"I had Hiko cast a calming spell on every other day. I asked her not to tell the others." Dontzia said.
"That still doesn't explain why you are hugging ," Primo asked.
"I feel safer that way." She claid.
"You know I am a guy, right?" Primo asked.
"Yes, but Hiko said you are a vegetarian, so it is okay," Dontzia said.
"Is that a dare? Are you taunting to take action?" Primo opened his eyes and turned to look at Dontzia.
Under the dim lighting of the dungeon, he saw her blushing face as she looked him in the eyes.
"You won't do it. You are too nice." She gave a teasing smile.
Roll*
Suddenly, Primo rolled on top of her, pinning her, staring intently into her eyes.
"I am not a vegetarian. I am just being considerate. If you continue teasing like this, I won't be able to control myself anymore." Primo stared deeply into her eyes. "This is your last chance to leave."
Dontzia was stunned, but then she smiled, one of her hands touching his cheek before kissing him. When their lips separated, she looked at him with a love-struck look.
"I couldn't stop thinking about everything, and I realized I unknowingly fell in love with," Dontzia said with hot breaths.
"You know what is going to happen now, right?" Primo's third leg hardened, pressing against Dontzia's stomach through his pants.
"Claim , I am yours." Dontzia wrapped her arms around his neck and brought him for another passionate kiss.
Clothes began to rustle and peel off in the tent.
