Chapter 902 You Need To Reset The Monster Girls
"What are you doing?" Mother asked.
I thought she was talking to me until I saw that she was glaring at Verdam.
The Off-Worlder seemed to be caught off guard by the question as he was a little late in responding, "What… What do you mean?"
"She just tried to kiss her," Mother stated as a matter of factly.
"Err… Yes? I mean… I saw that… Why? What's wrong with that?"
Oh no…
I peeled myself away from Mother to face him, "You… Don't know, do you?"
He looked at me, then his gaze drifted downwards.
Oh right, I was still naked… Give me a moment.
I went ahead to dress myself again before facing Verdam, who had intentionally looked away while I was changing to give me some privacy.
"I'm done now," I told him, prompting him to turn back around to face me. "Anyway, as I was saying, you don't know huh?"
"I don't know what? What is it that I don't know?"
"That kisses in this World have a much deeper meaning? Especially kisses on the lips?"
He paused for a good long minute before saying a single word.
"What?"
Yeah, I'm not even surprised that he doesn't know… If no one told me about it, I wouldn't know either and I don't think this guy has been trying to learn about the cultures and norms of this World at all.
I sighed and looked him in the eye… Or at least where I believe his eyes were since he was still wearing that mask of his. Why is he even wearing that mask anyway?
"Kisses on the lips are equivalent to marriage in this World. Sex is more casual but kisses are sacred. Only people who are absolutely in love, note that it's love, not lust, will kiss each other on the lips. To steal a kiss from someone… That's as bad as rape in our World… Arguably even worse because the gods are involved in this one…"
He shook slightly, "Wait… Are you serious?"
I nodded, "I'm afraid so…"
"But… I had been going around kissing Monster Girls this entire time…"
"Well… Just be glad you haven't done it to anyone native to this World then… But I think you need to change the common sense of the Monster Girls in this Dungeon to match this World's… Otherwise if the people of this World know that your Monster Girls will kiss them indiscriminately… I think they would start hating them instead…"
"Arghh… That means I have to redo everything! And the Dungeon purge command doesn't actually reset them! Fuuuuuuck!!"
I scratched my cheek, "So… I guess you'll have to kill them all manually?"
"That's going to take forever!! Even if I were to put the automatic summoning on hold, coupled with the undead Monsters that I also need to clear out… There must already be at least several tens of thousands of them that I have to get rid of! How long would that take for me?!"
"Can't you like… I dunno… Create some Monsters that will hunt them for you?"
"Then who's going to hunt down those very same Monsters?"
"Err… Maybe make it such that they self-destruct or something after they're done?"
"That…" He muttered with a raised finger before pausing. "Hmm… That might actually work… No wait! This would also take some time too! I need something that can clear out an entire Dungeon of Monsters within a day or two! My Mana Crystals are already running low! I can't afford to waste anymore on this!"
He wrung his hands in the air and opened up his Dungeon screen to start tapping away on it.
Then he froze up before turning to me slowly, "Hey… Err… Do you think you can help me with this… Err… This small calamity of mine?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
I crossed my arms in front of my chest, "What's in it for me?"
"Err… Well… Isn't the prospect of having sex with Monster Girls enough for you?"
"For your information, I do have my own lovers whom I love dearly and they are much better than some random Monster Girl that I barely know. If I had to choose, I would choose them over any of the Monster Girls in this Dungeon in a heartbeat."
He nodded in Mother's direction, "What about her? It seems like you're also quite attached to her as well."
Ah, I forgot Mother was pretending to be a Monster Girl right now…
I cleared my throat, "What about her? Even if I do want to take her with me, I could use the Monster Girl Stone I got earlier to obtain her, right? I don't need to do anything else."
"Ugh… What about all the potential drops that you can get? I can even increase the rate of item drops for you!"
"But they're just going to be Monster Girl Stones aren't they?"
"Isn't that good though?"
"Wouldn't that deplete your Mana Crystal store even more since you need them to generate the items? Assuming it works that way of course."
"Kind of… But you killing the Monsters would return some of the Mana back to me so even though it would be a net loss, it would still be worth it rather than just having to kill them on my own and doing all that."
I considered it for a moment, "At least sweeten the deal with something more. At this point, it's not really enticing for me to just do this work for you for a 'chance' at obtaining something good. Especially if I need to scour through the Dungeon from the first floor and navigate the Dungeon maze."
He waved his hand, "Oh don't worry about the last part, I can just teleport you to the Monsters itself so you don't need to do that navigating thing."
Oh, that's convenient.
"Still doesn't change the fact that it's a 'chance' of obtaining a reward though," I pointed out.
"I suppose that's true… Hmm… What do you want for helping me then?"
Truth be told, I don't even know what I want from him. It's not like I was here because I wanted something from him and he already tried to recruit me to help him get rid of the undead earlier and I rejected him.
I was just about to say so when he clapped his hands together, "Oh! I know what I can do for you! How about I make a specific Monster Girl just for you? You can tell me exactly what you want and I will make it for you to tame! That would be nice right?"
Ok, not gonna lie, that actually sounds enticing.
I don't exactly have a specific Monster Girl in mind but maybe I could just tell him generally what my tastes are like, he could make one for me.
Hey, he's the self proclaimed Monster Girl Connoisseur right?
"Fine, I'll do it. I do have one condition though and this is non-negotiable."
He clasped his hands together, "Oh thank you, thank you! I knew you were a good person the moment you came in! What is it?"
"Whatever abilities, skills and… No… I want everything about me and my companions to remain a secret and that you cannot share anything you have seen or learned about me and my companions with others."
"Eh? That's it? It's not like I plan to blabber about you to everyone I meet anyway so that's not a problem. I can do that."
"I will need you to swear your life on it to the gods. Only if I were to allow you to share my information would you be able to share it."
He tilted his head at me, "What kind of skill or companion are you going to use that you really want to keep this a secret?"
"It does not matter, does it? All I need is for you to keep this promise and I will help you clear out this Dungeon for you. And if you break this agreement, you will face the wrath of the gods."
"That certainly sounds rather ominous… Is this really necessary for you to help me?"
"Yes," I answered immediately.
"Then fine. I swear that I won't reveal anything related to you or your companions to anyone else without your permission or I shall face the wrath of the Gods. Is that good enough?"
I turned to Mother and she giggled, "Ufufufu~ That would do, my little one."
I let out a breath and relaxed. Truth is, I only made him agree to that condition for only one reason…
Alright then, let's get to work everyone!
I clapped my hands together and about a hundred of my Shadow Guards appeared out of my shadow, their numbers enough to fill up the entire arena.
Verdam looked around in a panic at the sudden appearance of my Shadow Guards, "What… What the hell is this? Wait… Shadow Guards? And… What the hell? How are they all… Wait… They have the exact same stats as you?!"
I nodded, "You know now why I don't want you sharing this information to anyone else right? Now point them to where you want them to go and start exterminating the Monsters and Monster Girls. I can summon more if you need to, so just send them there."
That's right~ Who needs to fight personally when I have an army to do it for me!
