The party members of “Princess Harem” are fighting on the first floor of the “Marriage Proposal Dungeon” to obtain rare materials for crafting weapons and armor for their newly joined members, Seira and Mariabel.
The enemies are beautiful girl monsters called “Usa-pyons.” They wear indecent “bunny girl” outfits and attack with giant fans.
The first floor is a grassland with good visibility and no cover, so Usa-pyons attack from all directions.
However, the first floor is also a tutorial floor, so the weapons wielded by the Usa-pyons are non-lethal giant fans.
In response, Elise is fighting back with a giant fan from her item box, meant for punishment.
Incidentally, the original targets of punishment were, as expected, Freya and Shera.
Therefore, Freya and Shera are fighting back with faces that look like they’ve eaten bitter herbs.
The first floor is an open grassland stage with good visibility in all directions, but the unevenness of the ground can create blind spots, allowing for unexpected close encounters.
For this reason, we adopted a tight circular formation to prevent the approaching Usa-pyons from finding an opening.
We then move while maintaining our circular formation.
We are searching for the field boss that guards the entrance to the second floor.
“Usa-pyons approaching from front, back, left, and right. The one from behind is an Elise-spec.”
“Usaaaaa~pyon♪ Usaaaaa~pyon♪”
This time, four Usa-pyons approach. The one approaching from behind, in particular, has a face resembling Elise’s.
By this point, the party members have gotten used to it, and it has become a routine of exploding approaching Usa-pyons with giant fans and collecting their drop items.
Usa-pyons resembling party members appear occasionally, but Elise-spec Usa-pyons are extremely popular.
Everyone rushes to defeat the Elise-spec Usa-pyons to vent their frustrations.
Freya and Shera are particularly enthusiastic.
“It’s halfway done when the Elise-spec Usa-pyon only resembles her hair and face. The ‘pokkari stomach’ is important…”
“Nyo, nyo♪”
“Freya and Shera, remember this. It’s double the payback, along with being stripped naked and having your soft skin peeled until it was bright red for your betrayal in the bathhouse!!”
The three from the Southern Nations are in perfect sync despite their quarreling.
Although the enemies are weak, they are numerous, and even Alicia and I have already defeated several.
Then, on top of a small hill, an Usa-pyon different from the ones we’ve encountered so far awaited.
It had faint blonde hair and sky-blue eyes.
It was a beautifully elegant Usa-pyon with a slender chest, remarkably similar to Freya.
The Usa-pyons we had faced so far only resembled the hair and face, with the body below the neck being the same.
However, this Freya-spec Usa-pyon had a different build.
And the giant fan it held in its right hand, unlike the white giant fans held by the previous Usa-pyons, was bright red.
“This must be the field boss of the first floor. And its stomach is ‘pokkari.’ From now on, I will name this enemy ‘Pokkari Freya.’”
Liliana, the person in charge of dungeon exploration, commented on the part I had deliberately not explained.
In other words, its belly was distended and bulging.
“I… I can’t forgive that ridiculous enemy.”
Freya seemed to be furious.
“I’m also very displeased. It must be completely annihilated…”
Elise, whose “pokkari” stomach was imitated, was also extremely angry.
“This enemy resembles my nemesis, so I will definitely defeat it… nyo.”
Shera also bared her fighting spirit.
The opposing “Pokkari Freya” looked down at us from the hill and showed a pitch-black smile.
The dark smile, as if Elise had possessed it, caused a vein to bulge on the temple of the original Elise.
“Usaaa~pyon♪”
*Pakaaaan*
“Kyaaaah~ Aaah… ah… —”
We confronted the field boss, “Pokkari Freya,” and there was an ominous feeling that promised a fierce battle.
The next moment, just as I thought “Pokkari Freya” had vanished, Freya became the victim of the red giant fan.
With the light sound of the giant fan’s impact, Freya let out a cute scream and fainted.
From my vantage point, it felt about three times faster than the previous Usa-pyons.
It seemed that the red giant fan symbolized that speed.
Meanwhile, Freya, who had been knocked out by the preemptive strike, was dragged into the circle by Edele, who was nearby.
I immediately cast healing magic to treat Freya, and she quickly regained consciousness.
“I was careless because it imitated my noble face. We must annihilate dungeon monsters with ‘pokkari’ bellies.”
Freya, having regained consciousness, was indignant about the “pokkari” belly and childishly stomped her feet.
“I will defeat the one with the ‘pokkari’ belly! If left alive, it will sow seeds of discord in the world!!”
Beside her, Shera was full of fighting spirit.
Conversely, “Pokkari Freya” seemed to have identified Freya, Elise, and Shera as its enemies, and a battle, not a three-way but a four-way, began.
Elise and the others fought bravely, brandishing their giant fans, but “Pokkari Freya” was so much faster than the other Usa-pyons that it was difficult to catch.
On the other hand, “Pokkari Freya” used its speed and leg strength to deliver rapid attacks.
Although the “pokkari” belly seemed like a handicap, “Pokkari Freya’s” attack speed did not wane.
Perhaps… it was storing stamina in its “pokkari” belly?
“I cannot afford to lose this battle. Die! Pokkari!!”
Freya threw away her giant fan, her weapon, and pulled a “gun” made by Zwei from her pocket. She pointed the muzzle at “Pokkari Freya” and fired a [Water Arrow].
The “gun” that Freya wielded was an excellent item that could embed water magic into bullets.
The [Water Arrow] that Freya fired for a comeback was sucked into the “pokkari” belly, and upon impact around the navel, it created a gaping hole.
Even the formidable “Pokkari Freya” could not escape unscathed when a hole was punched in its “pokkari” belly.
“Chance! You stingy accountant, snack money is sacred! Perish!! [Air Cutter]”
Without delay, Elise also unleashed an attack spell.
“Filth (Freya) needs to be disinfected. Die! Pokkari!! [Foxfire]!”
Shera also unleashed an attack spell in coordination.
Under the concentrated fire of the three, “Pokkari Freya” was split in two at the torso by Elise’s [Air Cutter], and its face was burned by Shera’s [Foxfire]. In the next moment, it exploded spectacularly.
Incidentally, what “Pokkari Freya” dropped was an iron ingot.
“We’ve defeated Pokkari!”
“Freya… go to ascension without hesitation.”
“Pokkari was a tough enemy… nyo.”
Freya, Elise, and Shera, who had gloriously defeated the first floor’s field boss, “Pokkari Freya,” let out their true feelings.
Then, we proceeded to the hill where the field boss, “Pokkari Freya,” had been guarding. There was a hole with stairs leading down to the basement.
Descending the stairs led to a familiar small room, and as Liliana once again recited the keyword for teleportation magic, we were transported to a grassland slightly different in atmosphere from the first floor we had just been on.
The grassland on the first floor had only short weeds, and the surrounding view was open.
In contrast, the grassland on the second floor had bushes growing here and there, giving off a sense of hidden beautiful girl monsters.
“Kon, kon. Nyo, nyo♪ Kon, kon. Nyo, nyo♪”
The next moment, a beautiful girl monster leaped out from the shade of a bush growing in the distance.
It was a fox-like beastman with a small body, fox ears, and a fox tail, looking exactly like Shera.
And the beautiful girl monster’s belly was distended and bulging.
Incidentally, the beautiful girl monster’s weapon was a short spear, and it seemed to be preparing to charge with it held forward with both hands.
I would rather not be impaled by a short spear.
“Pok-, Pokkari!! Nooo… nyo. A nightmare… nyo. The worst… nyo-nyo.”
Shera collapsed upon seeing the beautiful girl monster with a “pokkari” belly resembling her.
She must have been extremely shocked.
“Weren’t you provoking me so much earlier? Is this divine retribution?”
On the other hand, Freya seemed to have had her fill of frustration.
We were troubled by the first floor’s field boss, “Pokkari Freya.”
Especially the unfounded insults directed at Shera must have been quite painful.
“What is with this spiteful and ill-bred dungeon monster?!”
Elise, holding her head, was baffled by the reappearance of the pokkari monster.
“Let’s name that beautiful girl monster ‘Pokkari Shera.’”
Liliana quickly came to deliver the finishing blow.
“Liliana. That is not good. I believe the name ‘Pokkari Shera’ should be reserved for a field boss, in my humble opinion.”
Dietlinde objected to Liliana’s naming.
“Then what would be a good name?”
“Let me see… How about ‘Pokkari Fox’?”
“That’s a good suggestion. All right, let’s name that beautiful girl monster ‘Pokkari Fox.’”
Liliana, adopting Dietlinde’s suggestion, named it with a beaming smile.
“‘Pokkari Fox’… The worst… nyo.”
Shera felt relieved that the beautiful girl monster’s name wasn’t decided as “Pokkari Shera,” but she still harbored disgust towards “Pokkari Fox.”
“What is with this dungeon… It’s the worst. Should I blow it away with forbidden magic?”
Elise, who had also taken a significant hit, said.
Elise, with a fixed gaze, declared she would use forbidden magic.
“Shera. How does it feel to be infected with the Pokkari germ? Experience even a fraction of my suffering.”
On the other hand, Freya was full of energy.
Perhaps she thought she was safe for the time being after defeating “Pokkari Freya”…
At that moment, “Pokkari Fox” charged.
“Kon, kon. Nyo, nyo♪”
“You won’t! [Sand Wall]”
*Don! Chudooon!!*
Unlike Elise, Ain acted calmly and activated [Sand Wall], causing a sand wall to stand tall in front of “Pokkari Fox.”
“Pokkari Fox,” colliding with the sand wall, exploded violently and dispersed.
The remaining drop item was slightly scorched copper coins.
However, that charge was a threat.
The giant fans held by the first floor’s Usa-pyons were not a threat, but the short spear held by “Pokkari Fox” was.
In the worst-case scenario, one could be blown to smithereens without even leaving a corpse.
And in such a state, even my resurrection magic would not be able to revive them.
We decided to arrange party members capable of long-range attacks outside our circle formation.
As expected, multiple “Pokkari Foxes” appeared and launched simultaneous and staggered attacks.
“Kon, kon. Nyo, nyo♪ Kon, kon. Nyo, nyo♪”
“This is strange. The beautiful girl monsters we were supposed to face on the second floor were ‘Nekomata’ that attack with scratching! Why are they ‘Pokkari Fox’?”
We endured the barrage of attacks, but Liliana, who claimed to know the “Marriage Proposal Dungeon” inside and out, tilted her head.
It’s now or never, but I am the only male in “Princess Harem.”
And as Liliana mentioned at the beginning, when accompanying girls on the “Marriage Proposal Dungeon” exploration, beautiful girl monsters with characteristics of those girls would appear.
Presumably, “Pokkari Fox” was also created in that vein.
It was a headache-inducing situation.
And the attack with the short spear by “Pokkari Fox” was undoubtedly an instant kill for first-time players.
While the giant fans of the first floor’s Usa-pyons were non-lethal, the short spear of “Pokkari Fox” was imbued with a killing blow.
We assumed that for every one “Pokkari Fox” we found, there were about thirty hiding nearby, and advanced by burning the bushes in our path with magic attacks.
Of course, the discovered “Pokkari Fox” also became prey to our magic attacks.
This was also due to “Princess Harem” having an abundance of magic attackers.
Then, on a small hill, we found the field boss holding a bright red short spear.
Initially, it was supposed to be named “Pokkari Shera,” but its face resembled Elise’s, not Shera’s.
Furthermore, something resembling goat horns extended from its temples, and instead of a fox tail, it had a pitch-black tail like a succubus.
It looked like Elise had fallen and become a demon… or perhaps!?
We were still at a distance, so I couldn’t make out the details.
At that very moment, a saturation attack with magic was launched.
In other words, an enraged Elise unleashed her full power.
A large amount of dust billowed up from the magic attack, obscuring our vision.
When our vision cleared again, the field boss was gone, and only a dropped bronze ingot lay on the ground.
“Elise, could you please refrain from defeating the field boss before naming it? That was supposed to be ‘Pokkari Elise’…”
Liliana, the person in charge of dungeon exploration, complained to Elise.
“That’s right, Elise!! It’s extreme animosity towards your own kind!”
“Nyo, nyo!!”
Freya and Shera quickly chimed in, following Liliana’s lead.
“There was no such thing. Although the details were unclear from a distance, I believe that was ‘Pokkari Shera.’ I defeated it to spare Shera the trouble of confirming it…”
On the other hand, Elise calmly insisted that there was no “Pokkari Elise.”
Since it had already been defeated, Elise couldn’t prove that such a dungeon monster had existed and got away with a dark smile.
Then, we were transferred to the third floor.
Thank you for reading.
