novelIntricate Art Formation
| ← Ch.014 | Ch.016 → |
"Hey, hey! Wha, What is that, what's happening!?"
Even though she's all comfy and happy getting fucked by me earlier, the moment she noticed the strange phenomenon, she's gone wild like a headless chicken limping about.
But seriously, what the hell has happened there?
But soon, the light was gone.
"Gilles......that, did you know something?"
"How the hell would I?"
"Shouldn't you try to find it out?"
"isn't that obvious?"
It would be a lie if I said I wasn't interested.
And so, we headed towards the formation.
From there, we noticed the cause immediately.
"I feel a trace of magical power from it, Gilles"
"Yeah, it was more than it was when we came a while ago"
"An increase? That shouldn't be possible!"
"Huh? What do you mean? When we came, there's already a bit of magic in that formation"
"No way. You're lying......"
Belle showed a surprised expression.
"I have been this room for all my life, but I didn't feel any presence of magical power at all......not a single bit, zero, you hear!"
"If it was zero back then then it was now one when I came. Though it was an inconsiderate level, there was still traces of it present"
"......Then, maybe there was a cause that it increased or something?"
"That I can't refute, for now"
Hopefully, it may become a hint to open the way to the entrance to the 101st floor.
"Belle, do you have any documents left in this art formation?"
"I may still have it......I think"
That was an uncomfortable answer.
"It's not the time to be half-assed here"
"Well, It's that I'm not sure if it was really it. As far as I have seen, only the picture on the cover of that document is similar to the art formation, so I thought it is related to the artistic formation in itself"
"So you are telling me that while the cover looks similar to the formation, you couldn't understand the contents of it? Hmmmm......"
Well, nothing will come up unless I take a look at it firsthand.
"I want to take a look. Can you bring the document here?"
"Okay. I think it's right here somewhere......ah, found it"
"Belle brought me a book from a nearby desk.
"This is......"
From it's appearance it was a really old book.
And as Bell had said, there was the image of the artistic formation on the cover.
There was not a single text on the cover, just the image, and it felt strange.
Well, there's no use thinking too much for it.
I took a peek inside.
"――!?"
I was flabbergasted by its contents.
"Yeah, you can't read it, right?"
Seeing my reaction, Belle deducted that I couldn't understand a thing about its contents.
However, it was the opposite.
"This artistic formation is......a hidden door that leads to the 101st floor"
"You......you can read it?"
"Ah, yeah"
"Amazing! As expected from the lineage of the Bain House"
"......"
I won't say it, but this doesn't matter if you have the blood of the Bain House or not.
Perhaps it could be very likely that it was only me who can read this in this world.
After all――the book was written in Japanese.
After two decades of reincarnation, I saw kanji and hiragana for the first time in a long time.
No wonder Belle couldn't read it at all.
It's a language that doesn't exist in this world.
I couldn't say anything though, or they will find out that I am a person that is out of this world.
I swore to myself when I came to this world that I would never tell anyone that I was a reincarnated person.
"Hey, Gilles. can you read the rest?"
"Okay. Here it goes"
I looked through the pages.
From what I read, this book really contained all what one should know about that artistic formation.
Most importantly, the ways to solve this puzzle.
"I knew how to solve this formation"
"What should we do?"
"Sex......"
"Huh?"
"You just have to have sex with a woman in this tower......is what it said here"
Belle stared at me in silence.
"Really, you...... you don't have to lie just because you want to do it with a girl"
"Try to remember. When we came here for the first time, didn't I say that I felt a slight magical power? And we just had sex a while ago"
"N-now that you said it, that timing it emitted light......"
"Plus, I don't need to resolve to lies just because I want to have sex. In fact, I am not the type to be troubled when looking for women. I have the money, I have the goods, I have the looks. I am the perfect set every woman is craving for."
"Then......"
"Yep, it's probably true"
Still, the demon lord was skeptical. For now, let's look deeper on our situation.
"I'll try to read further, so you just stay put, okay?"
"Y-yeah, okay"
Upon further reading, I discovered new facts.
"......troubled or happy, I don't know what to feel right now"
"W-what's wrong?"
"Its true on the part that you should only have to have sex. At first, I thought it would be nice if I and Belle would continue fucking from morning till night, but......"
"But?"
"The second and subsequent sex with the same woman inside the dungeon will count as 1/10000 of the first sex."
"Huuuh!?"
"And according to my calculations, with just only me and Belle involved, even if we had sex nonstop without considering food and sleep, it will still take about hundreds of years for the objective to be completed......"
"......impossible"
"Yeah......even for me, I still have a limit you know"
Belle, upon knowing this fact, collapsed on the spot.
"Then how can we......"
"Well, I think we should focus on having the first sex with a woman here and repeat that process for multiple times1. By that method, we will be able to clear the objectives with only about 260 people"
"Wait a moment here! There is a teeny bit of a problem on that proposal you are saying. For starters, this is called the TOWER OF DEATH. THE TOWER OF DEATH YOU HEAR!? No girl in their right minds would like to have sex in here! Also......I don't want to feel jealous......"
"Belle."
"Still......I don't feel bad that my lover is so popular"
"My lover?"
"What 's important is, I'll forgive you for having sex with other women. HOWEVER~ you will have sex with me properly, okay? As for the problem, how can we attract that many people altogether?"
"Gathering people in this tower where no one can even get close, huh......"
Moreover, we're collecting women here.
By the way, I didn't tell Belle about this, but it seems that there's also quite the amount of bonus points you can gain if you do it with a beautiful woman.
If I were to said that out loud, she'll likely to burn the book right at this moment, so I kept silent about it.
"Is there any way......"
"The bottom line is to make women want to come in this tower"
A place where women often gather in my world.
To make it simple, an attraction.
"Say, Belle, what do you think if I turn this place into a more 'enjoyable' one? Moreover, it will be focused on targeting girls"
"I don't quite get what you are thinking, but well, if you have a convenient idea like that, as long as people will gather here, I'm okay with it"
However, there is still that last problem remaining, even if we were able to collect all those women.
"Still, I don't think it's going to be easy for each and every woman that comes here to have sex with me"
"Then, how about we use traps?"
"Traps?"
"Yeah. Though I still don't have a concrete idea of that attraction you will do eventually, we can still make a situation where you can have sex easily"
"That's right!"
It's like exactly the first meeting between me and Belle!
I'm going to pretend to help them, with sex as the condition.
Or we could just make traps soaked with aphrodisiac.
"Belle, can you do it?"
"I'll try?"
Gathering women in a tower dungeon where no one can approach easily.
This means that all that will enter here are quite exceptional. I think it's going to be a great game.
"Gilles, I'll leave the ideas to you. After all, you are great at pleasing women till they break"
"Yep, can't deny what I'm good at"
"You can leave the traps to me instead"
"You have my complete trust"
――And so, we began he dungeon management
Author's notes:
As for the calculation that Gilles had said, it was just invented for the sake of aesthetics.
Hence, the numbers could very likely be proven wrong in the future.
Anyway, the important fact here is that Gilles has to collect many women and do it with them, so as long as it was understood as that, then everything is a-ok.
Translator Notes:
1It wasn't specified clearly in the novel whether the woman should require her first time to be taken (aka her virginity) or not to suffice the conditions. What I am clear is that Gilles needs to fuck a minimum of 260 women AT LEAST ONCE, and the sex must be done INSIDE THE DUNGEON in order to unlock the door to the 101st floor. Then again, according to the author's note above, those numbers could mean nothing at all, as the calculations are purely for the sake of appearances.
