Chapter 135 (1/2)

・ ・ Chapter 135: The Merciless Fog Trap

All my comrades had suddenly and unexpectedly disappeared, basically like a suspense horror, but this was no time to whine or worry What I needed to do was take fast and decisive action

“Fuuuh, okay relax… s'long as it's not a pitfall or teleport trap, they shouldn't have wandered far”

It'd be hard to reach the them to a lower floor, not to mention a teleport would make their location completely indeterminable So I'll just not think about those possibilities

That would leave other possibilities such as, like with me and the arachne, they could've been kidnapped by some monster, fallen into some kind of illusion or hypnosis, or simply wandered off with their oo feet

I ave the is

“They either went back from where we came, or took one of these forks…”

There was always the possibility that they sensed soer and left me as a decoy while they ran to save their skins, but I kind of felt like that wasn't what happened

This was nothing like that intense trust towards their friends that shonen a MCs tend to show There was a clear trap here, this pink sned it wouldn't let the people who showed up si cleared away since the foolish prey did in fact fall for the trap The trap had worked and that is what mattered

I was fine because well, I had my handy dandy Venoht”

“GUGAGA!”

Yeah yeah going solo was a bad idea, but I'd done it a few ti the

I steered Raptor into the large hall now cleared of fog, and went into the right hand path

The passage was fluffy as usual, no different frohout the zone

“MOAAHHH!”

“Outta the way!”

There was the occational cloud creature blocking our path, but Raptor just trampled them over as I continued to search, for a while

“shi+t, why's this place so big…”

Actually, this wasfor so out the areas around a fairy square or a boss roo like this

It's at ti

There were no peculiarities to any of the walls, this cloud zone was insanely easy to get lost in So before I really did get lost in here, I started scratching down the path in et lost too

“Guess this is it, I should go back and follow the left path――”

I did sort of have disasterous luck, so I thought I'd picked the wrong path and wasted tio back when,

“――! Ahh~”

I heard it, a voice

“Reot the better ears then, Raptor”

I'd discovered so that was clearly better than in

It was still faint, but we'd definitely hit upon so them after that was easy

“It's here”

It was a room like any other, an empty roo, wait… It was Ueda

The voice wasn't screaruesooma From the tone, I suspected that he was in a situation similar to led to escape

Also, other than Ueda's , I could hear no cries of foot steps of a ht to have assaulted him, so they shouldn't be more than a couple of theain so I don't end up getting ambushed

Now, I just hoped that this Ueda wasn't a fake or illusion

“Gotta do it”

Rem and Raptor nodded There's three of us, so ould likely be able to quickly subdue the monster, I hoped

Please don't let there be an arachne-tier or higher ed in

“Eat this! Blackhair Bi――”

“SAKURAA! SAKURAAAH! AAAAAHHHHHH!”

And there he was, screa out butt-naked

What the even how in the I'd seen a lot of bizarre things in the dungeon, but nothing this hard to s

Ok, calm, calm as an ocean, let's take this at face value for now

Ueda, check Screa Souma Sakura's name for some reason, check Naked, check

This is where I'd stopped thinking at first, but this should be a ht about by the trap so I considered the situation seriously

The depraved figure of Ueda was on all fours in the orously Especially at the hips… This would nor the meat, but just below him, I could see this extra fluffy, humanoid form A cloud creature

There was this one little, tiny chance that he pushed down and ‘subjugated' this weakhim somehow

“Ah! I see, so it was a honey-trap”

This was the iven the whole picture

That pink gas put a sort of suggestion into the target's mind, and this made those who'd fallen for it see the cloud creature as someone they liked, or so voila

I couldn't tell exactly ould happen to the under the lustful spell, but it won't be anything good Could be like, the cloud creatures were sucking their

Aside from that, what if I'd fallen into this myself? Maybe I'd have this sort of experience with the illusion of Mei-chan or Randou-san I' with no hope for survival, I'd be regretting not dying this ith every fiber ofCan't a boy dreaing the fun stuff―― Eat this, Blackhair Bind!”

And die you, fake cloud Sou in co Ruinhilde-sama was likely to scold me for, and used blackhair bind to restrain Ueda, swipe away the cloud creature, and had Rem finish it off without a moment's delay

The nude Ueda listlessly fell as I released s, which is the same time when Rem decapitated the cloud created with one sweep of her knife

“Moaaahhh…”

Making a low, airy sound, the creature deflated like a balloon and disappeared

Now then, the main issue noas if Ueda, who I'd forcefully pulled aould wake up properly I was pretty mad, and really yanked him with all I had, but there was a chance that this was the type where if the hypnotized person woke up in the uish reality from dream If this honeytrap turns out to be like that, uy

“Oi, Ueda! Rise and shi+ne!”

“Nnh, uu… S-Sakura?”

“No ya retard! Do I look like the hottest girl in class to you!? Rise and shi+ne already!”

“… H!? W-wait, Momokawa!? Why the fuck are you here, where'd o?”
