Ero Academy

Chapter 23  Chapter 26 – The Onahole Sanctuary

[Entering the Golden Orc Fortress]

[Golden Rule 1. The reward coins obtained when hunting 'Servants of the Golden Domain' are tripled]

[Golden Rule 2. The reward coins of the 'Servants of the Golden Domain' corresponding to the boss level are increased by 20 times]

"Kyaa! What should I do!"

As soon as I dived, I heard Yuuna's excited scream.

"It's the 'Golden' zone with the highest earnings! The competition is really fierce. Such a sweet dungeon appearing in the Academy!"

"You like it that much, even though it hasn't been cleared yet?"

"Clear? Of course, we must! Now, let's all check our belongings and weapons before proceeding."

Everything is fine, except for the smartphone.

"Are you okay, Henna?"

"Yeah, I'm fine like this."

Henna was holding my hand tightly.

Small, white, soft hands contrasted with strong male hands with prominent veins.

I feel like I'm getting an erection just holding her hand, as if I don't have a vigorous body.

'Let's not get excited…'

I'm not out on a backpacking trip with two pretty girls.

My body was already consumed with excitement, yet this was a perilous dungeon, fraught with lurking dangers.

One must remain vigilant, or risk falling into peril.

Simply touched by gravity waves that distorted space, we found ourselves transported to an entirely different world, far from the academy.

Taken at face value, it seemed like ancient ruins buried beneath the desert sands.

'Last time, it was a forest.'

The landscape had changed this time.

A dark corridor, wide enough for three people to pass through side by side, stretched out in front and behind us, while sunlight and fine sand cascaded like a waterfall from the gaping hole in the ceiling.

Yuuna, warming up her body, glanced back at me.

"Kim Sang-hyuk. Have you ever demonstrated your skills to Henna? It might be best to warn her beforehand, to avoid any surprises."

Her concern likely stemmed from her own past experience.

It was a valid point.

"But how should I explain it?"

"…Indeed…"

Does my attack provoke the enemy into excretion?

Perhaps it's best not to mention it...

I still don't fully understand the intricacies of personality excretion. All I know is that it aligns with the preferences of Enn-chan, the goddess of Yagem.

The protagonist of "OnaAka" boasts an extraordinary talent for compatibility with Onahole collectors.

Personally, I believe it to be a finishing move due to its ability to bypass the enemy's defenses.

"Henna, behind you!"

Yuuna unsheathed her sword. It appeared that a suitable opponent had just revealed itself.

"Kwaaarrk!"

A green monster, considerably larger than a goblin, raised its arm in Henna's direction.

"I've got this!"

I promptly drew my Glock and took aim.

"Henna, cover your ears!"

Bang!

The bullet lodged itself cleanly in the orc's head. However, its resilience exceeded my expectations, and I failed to halt it entirely.

'It's alright.'

I can take my time using it after dealing the initial blow.

'Personality Expulsion.'

It might have withstood a headshot, but can it endure an expulsion shot?

"Kwiiik!?"

I was certain of my victory. The orc, which had intended to assault Henna, clutched its belly and began to stagger.

"There's no need to strike it further."

Yuuna said, considering the situation resolved with just a single shot.

"Personality Expulsion" boasts exceptional power. Soon, the orc's ragged pants began to bulge,

and dark gray personality jelly burst forth.

"Ugh! How revolting…"

Yuuna backed away with a grimace.

"What is this?

"It's akin to an orc's soul."

It's easier to understand if you consider it a concept similar to a soul.

Neither the personality nor the soul is a tangible entity that is physically expelled from the body,

but Henna would understand if it were explained as materializing such a thing and bringing it out.

"Is it dead?"

Henna asked again.

"No. The personality jelly is still connected to the main body."

"Kanpa Hong" perceives even the invisible.

The personality jelly remains connected to the main body, much like a Bluetooth device. In other words…

If one were to nudge the mindlessly approaching jelly with a foot.

"Kyuk, kkkik."

The main body responds with a moan. So far, everything proceeded as expected.

"How odd…"

"I didn't do much, but it feels like it's being severely abused."

I think so too.

It's telling that even the hunter, who takes the lives of demons, would feel uncomfortable about it.

It might be because Yuuna is virtuous, but…

"Now, it's time to finish this."

I stepped on the essence jelly and quietly chanted.

"Become an Onahole."

Using essence jelly as an ingredient, I create an Onahole.

Since the Onahole becomes a new embodiment of the essence, the connection with the main body weakens all at once.

In other words, the main body becomes like an empty shell.

"This is my skill, Henna."

"The orc has become adorable."

…Hmm. Fine. Let's say it's become cuter.

How can Henna not despise me?

Even when she sees something lewd and vulgar right before her eyes, like when she's an Onahole, she reacts this way.

Beyond naïveté, she's utterly defenseless.

Yuuna wears a complex expression, unsure if Henna's demeanor is genuine or an act.

Henna is real, though…

[Acquired the 『Firearms Mastery』 skill]

When the essence jelly is transformed into an Onahole and the main body is turned into a shell, it seems to count as a death tally.

In truth, there is no more complete neutralization than this.

"Kwuwok. Kwowouk."

"Kkuwiik."

Orcs came rushing in, as if they heard the gunfire.

"I'll handle the front myself! Can I leave the rear to you, Kim Sang-hyuk?"

"Did you see that? These guys barely managed to land a hit on me."

"Only if it continues to go well."

Didn't I say it before? I am Kim Sang-hyuk, an exceptional marksman recognized by the Ministry of National Defense.

Large targets lumbering down a narrow corridor with no escape are as good as dead already!

"Cover your ears, Henna!"

*Clatter.*

I had a feeling something was caught. It turned out to be a sudden malfunction in the ammunition.

'A jammed round, here of all places?'

"Urrgghh!"

Just as I was about to engage in a fistfight, Henna stepped in front of me, as if to shield me.

I was taken aback by this.

It was because I hadn't expected her, whom I thought needed my unwavering protection, to bravely defend me like this.

In a way, I might have been disregarding Henna, even though I knew I shouldn't have.

"I'll handle this."

Henna blocked the Orc's attack with her solid wooden staff and cast an 'Intangible Magic Bullet.'

She repelled the Orc, which was larger than herself, using a shockwave.

While she did that, I cleared the jammed round and took aim once more.

'In dungeons, they are prone to malfunction.'

Let's not panic. Panicking is more fatal than a jammed bullet… That's what I thought!

*Clatter!*

"Ah, darn it…!"

Getting jammed twice in a row is too much!

"It's not a defective product. This!?"

Yuuna, who had already taken care of three orcs, giggled.

"What did I tell you?"

"…No, it's not just about the 5%!"

"Your skill stats are still low and your proficiency is at the lowest rank. The malfunction rate is probably over 30%? And by the way, the power has also decreased."

No, do I have to use a gun in a dungeon while dealing with all these drawbacks?

Anyway, after fixing the faulty ammunition again, I pull the slide and aim.

Henna has already taken down two orcs.

'Henna had a higher overall evaluation than me…'

If you think about it, she's a senior dungeon strategist.

A sultry childhood friend who squeezes her breasts and giggles, and an academy top student…!

I abandon the naive idea that firearms will unconditionally meet my expectations.

"I'll protect you, Sang-hyuk."

"It's alright. You can send a few my way!"

"Yaksha Assault"

I wasn't just aiming from behind, I used the charge skill to push the orc away with a powerful body slam.

Then, I fired.

'Personality Expulsion Double Tap!'

Bang! Bang!

"Kkwiik!?"

One orc eliminated.

"Let's do this together, Henna."

"It's the first time you've said that…"

"Did I ever use you as a shield before?"

"Uh, huh? Yeah…"

Damn it. I can't back down anymore!

"Personality Expulsion Soccer Kick!"

"Kkwiik!?"

I thought it would be enough to fight with just a gun, but I had to keep checking the Glock that malfunctioned as easily as breathing, and engage in hand-to-hand combat just to barely hold my own.

Henna's magic.

The 'Intangible Magic Bullet' never fails, is powerful, and is fast.

Even though it was the most basic type of magic, it proved to be much more effective than firearms within the dungeon.

'Let's say the malfunctioning is to be expected.'

It's a little painful that the power has been reduced.

In truth, if it hadn't been for that personality quirk, wouldn't it have taken at least four strikes to bring them down?

'I like that it's a one-shot, one-kill.'

Yes, it's not all downside. Yuuna, an adept B-class hunter, could fell orcs with unwavering determination.

A defeated orc would never rise again…

Bang!

"Become an Onahole."

And she recited with charisma.

Henna, who had been silently watching from the side, raised her staff and shouted.

"I want to join you too."

"What?"

"Become an Onahole! Yap!"

"Pffft…!"

Yuuna, who had been fighting in the background, burst into laughter.

"Right! Let's do this together!"

Hunting should be enjoyable, shouldn't it?

"Become an Onahole!"

"Become an Onahole!"

Henna transformed into a mysterious Onahole girl.

[Level has risen]

[Level has risen]

[Firearms proficiency level has risen]

Oh, wonderful.

As they effortlessly dispatched dozens of orcs as if slicing through cake, their once silent well of experience points exploded.

The door to growth had swung wide open!

[Level has risen]

[Level has risen]

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Henna supports me with intangible magical projectiles.

"The orcs are getting cuter, Sang-hyuk!"

"Yes, become an Onahole!"

"Become an Onahole! Hehe, it's like a magical incantation."

"Henna! Girls shouldn't be talking about Onaholes!"

The personality jellies have slightly different colors for each individual. In Henna's eyes, the repulsive orcs transformed into colorful toys, so it wasn't unusual for her to say they were 'getting cuter.'

'We're gradually overpowering them with firepower.'

Although the failure rate hasn't decreased, my hand movements for dealing with bullet jams have become faster. Since Henna only needs to unleash magical projectiles without worrying about close combat with the orcs, our tasks have become simpler.

Soon, the last one was taken down by my finishing shot.

[Your firearms proficiency level has increased]

[Your level has increased]

[You have acquired the skill "Onahole Enhancement"]

What is this?

["Onahole Enhancement" has chosen Onahole!!… Overall abilities of the Onahole are strengthened.]

A buff skill? What exactly happens when you enhance an Onahole?

Tighter and more durable, perhaps…

"Why? Sang-hyuk? Have you learned a new skill?"

…

It was not a topic I could discuss with my well-endowed childhood friend who gazed at me with her beautiful eyes.

Would Yuuna understand?

"Did you learn something else peculiar?"

I considered asking her if I could treat her like an Onahole, but then thought better of it.

"Let's pick it up first."
