077 ? Descendants of Pluto #4
“Ugh-!”
Hippolyta fell face first on the floor and let out a desperate scream.
No, it’s Hippolyta screaming like a snail, it’s a word that doesn’t fit even if I explain it, but it’s true.
More like Luna giving Hippolyta a suplex? I thought I was seeing things wrong, but it’s fucking real.
It seemed that it wasn’t just me who couldn’t believe this situation, but also the passersby and adventurers surrounding me.
“Oh my god, what is going on?”
“Even though it was a bare-handed fight, Hippolyte is taking it without being able to use her hands?”
Luna, who has everyone’s attention, flexibly releases her body from the bridge position of the suplex, then raises both hands high in front of the crowd and shouts.
“Wow! I won the Silver Tier…!”
His appearance was like that of a young man who had finally defeated a long-time champion in a title match, and it made my heart race.
Luna, you’ve grown up. No, no matter how much you grow, is this even possible?
“Ugh, this, this is ridiculous… .”
At that moment, Hippolyte got up from her seat, bleeding from the orifices of her face, including her nose and mouth. She, too, seemed to be greatly embarrassed, unable to accept the fact that she had been defeated by Luna.
Trembling.
Those brown eyes that were always confident now look quite pitiful as they waver with anxiety.
“Da, please, one more time! Please, a rematch…!”
“no!”
“Ugh, ugh…!”
At Luna’s firm rejection, Hippolyta bit her lower lip as if she didn’t know what to do with herself.
Soon, unable to bear it any longer, he shouts at the crowd that has gathered around him and is making a fuss.
“Hey, are you watching!? Let’s hurry up and take care of business!”
Although for some reason she was defeated by the pink Chikorita, Hippolyta itself was a surprisingly strong fighter, even when it was spewing destructive rays from its mouth.
Because of her angry outburst, the crowd scattered like rats hit by a rock.
I almost peed myself like a nymph in the basement. Thank goodness my bladder is strong. Maybe it’s because I drank Luna’s elixir.
“Go, go!”
“Yeah, I had something to do too.”
So the only ones left were me, Luna, and Hippolyte.
“Noxdotty, Mae, if a bare-handed duel is difficult, let’s decide the winner with arm wrestling.”
Hippolyte was acting like a typical, filthy loser who couldn’t accept losing a match. But I guess I would have reacted that way if I had lost to Luna, so it’s understandable.
“Arm wrestling…?”
Luna reacts slightly, perhaps intrigued by the word arm wrestling. Then, she opens her mouth wide enough to reveal her sharp teeth and shouts.
“no!”
“Ugh… If you win this time, I’ll give you my belt!”
“waistband?”
“Yes, this is no ordinary belt. It’s… .”
“No need! Wow! I beat Hippolyta! I should go around bragging about it!”
“… Oh, shit!”
Luna was clearly overwhelming Hippolyte, both in the confrontation and in the conversation after the confrontation.
Oh my goodness, Luna isn’t at the bottom of the food chain? Could it be that there’s some attribute difference or compatibility that I don’t know about?
No, I wonder if it makes sense to call it compatibility with Hippolyte, who can shoot rocks like bullets by flicking them with her fingers.
“I beat Hippolyta! Shaft!”
Luna started to gossip around the neighborhood, seeming really excited, whether Hippolyte asked for a rematch or not. Well, I think I would brag about it like that if I had beaten Hippolyte.
It’s like getting a solo kill in lane against Faker in his prime while playing as a mineral tier player in Bsilgol. What the hell, how did he do that?
“Ugh… Then, then how should I do it so that you can have a rematch? B-I’ll lick your feet!”
Now, Hippolyte was kneeling before Luna and bowing her head. It was fortunate that there were no other people around, but it seemed that she was prepared to become a laughing stock for the rest of her life.
However, unlike the Minerva Guild, which values the honor and glory of battle, for Hippolyte, who serves Mars, the god of struggle, the only things that are important are victory and defeat, not methods or honor.
Being a loser is probably more humbling than anything else.
“Why are you licking my feet? I hate it even more.”
“Then how…!”
Hippolyte lowered her head as if she was going to lick her feet, then raised her body. Luna looked at Hippolyte like that and mumbled, “Hmm,” as if she was lost in thought for a while.
“Hmm, then if I win this time, promote the elixirs I’m going to sell.”
“Rain, a leap? A leap, a leap… .”
Hippolyte hesitated for a moment, as if lost in thought, but then nodded as if she understood.
“Good, if that can avenge my defeat!”
If only she could avenge her defeat, as she said, Hippolyta would lick Luna’s soles. However, it seems that there is no point in avenging her honor and prestige, which have already fallen to the ground.
“Then let’s just arm wrestle!”
“Understood. Samaritan, you be the witness. Please.”
In this way, the game of stealing the status of slave and king was played out on the flat platform of the guild ceiling that had been shattered and fallen down.
After standing tensely on both sides, their expressions as they grab each other’s right hands are so serious that sweat starts running down my back.
“Okay, then let’s decide whoever touches the back of their hands to the ground first loses. Okay, shii…”
Their hands tightened together with a squeak. Hippolyte’s firm upper arms became visibly stiff.
“work!”
The women’s struggle began with a signal that fell from my mouth. To be honest, I wondered if this would even be a game.
Kwaaaaak-.
The scene unfolding before my eyes was something I couldn’t believe even though I was watching it. Hippolyte and Luna were locked in a tight confrontation, testing their strength!
“Whoa-!”
No, rather, Luna seemed to have the upper hand a little! In fact, Luna was pushing Hippolyte with force!
Oh my god, what the hell is going on!?
Did Luna’s power get really strong?
No, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Even though Luna has been growing rapidly lately, she still hasn’t been able to beat Hippolyte.
Luna’s level is around 11, and Hippolyte’s level is said to be over 40, according to her.
Looking at the current situation, it doesn’t feel like Luna has become incredibly strong, but rather that Hippolyte has become considerably weaker. Why is that? It’s not night and there’s no moonlight.
“I, I will win…!”
At that moment, Luna starts to shout and hand over Hippolyte’s hand.
“Ttaaaaat!”
In that fierce momentum, the back of Hippolyte’s hand was gradually tilted toward the floor. Hippolyte seemed greatly embarrassed by the situation and clicked her tongue as if indignantly saying, “Ugh-!”
And at that moment, a surprising change occurred.
Swish, swish.
Hippolyte’s left hand naturally rose from under the platform and began to push away Luna’s attacks! No, she’s using both hands? Damn, isn’t that foul play?
“No, Lady Hippolyte, even if there is only one option: victory or defeat, isn’t this a bit too much?”
“Kyu, the rule is to just touch the back of your hand! As long as you win, that’s it!”
“Then me too!”
At those words, Luna also used her other hand to press Hippolyte’s wrist hard against the floor.
“Nooooo!”
“Wow! I beat Hippolyta again!”
Even with the dirty methods used, the match was a complete defeat for Hippolyte.
Luna was jumping around like a rabbit, drunk on the joy of victory.
“I won!”
Of course, I was happy too. They say that even earthworms have the ability to wiggle when stepped on. Luna was a scorpion. Not only did she wiggle, she also had the ability to sting!
“Wow, Luna, you won! How did you do it?”
“I don’t know either!”
“Th, th, th… .”
Unlike Luna and I, who held each other’s shoulders and rejoiced, Hippolyta began to tremble as if she could not stand the thought of suffering another defeat, even if she had to resort to forced methods.
Her already red skin turned even redder, whether from embarrassment or anger, and it seemed as if steam was rising from her head.
“I won Silver Tier, so now I’m Silver Tier too? That’s it!”
“Huh, huh… .”
They say that when people get too angry, they can’t control their anger and end up crying. Hippolyta was just like that, and now she was even shedding tears.
The sight of it somehow gave me a chill and the smile disappeared from my lips.
“I’m so happy! Now Hippolyta will be promoting my elixir for me!”
However, Luna couldn’t hide her joy whether the other person was crying or not.
The world of competition is originally this cold. But seeing the face of the female warrior so red that it looked like it was going to explode, I couldn’t help but poke Luna’s side.
“Hey, hey, stop it.”
I felt like if I continued to tease or be happy like this, something irreversible would happen. Of course, Luna didn’t care about that and was busy jumping around and teasing.
“Crying? I even made Hippolyta cry! Hioooo!”
Hippolyta finally became unable to bear Luna’s strange advances, and she clenched her fists and trembled.
It’s a really unpleasant feeling to have goosebumps appearing on the back of my neck.
As I was watching this situation with anxious eyes, Hippolyte spoke in a voice that seemed to suppress her emotions.
“I’ll use magic to make it seem like it never happened!”
Magic? Did Hippolyte know how to use magic? Anyway, Hippolyte, who had shouted something incomprehensible, clenched her fists and shouted again.
“Memory erasure magic!”
Phew-!
A fist swung with all its might.
Luna let out a short scream of “Hic-!” and lowered her head as a fist as hardened as iron was swung at her. This could not have been anything other than an extremely nimble evasive maneuver.
The problem was that Hippolyte’s fist, thrown by the wind, landed squarely on my forehead as I stood behind Luna.
“Crash… .”
The sudden flying fist was so painful that I couldn’t even breathe, and I ended up falling forward.
* * *
When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by an unfamiliar ceiling, unfamiliar walls, an unfamiliar bed, and unfamiliar blankets.
I thought this was the afterlife, but when I looked at the bandages and medicine wrapped around my body, it seemed like I had somehow extended my tough life.
I really thought I was going to die.
You called it a memory erasure spell? It was a truly terrifying physical magic.
… .
What the fuck.
But where is this place? A treatment center? No, rather than a treatment center, what should I call it? It felt like it could be called a warehouse.
Armor and weapons are scattered here and there in a cramped room like Luna’s cabin. There are also many exercise machines in the form of barbells and dumbbells with heavy weights attached.
Looking closely, it looks like a supply room in a gym or training center. Where on earth is this place?
“Is anyone there?”
So I tried to shout around to see where this place was, but I couldn’t hear any signs of life.
I sat up with a thud and only then realized that my body was wrapped tightly in bandages, no different from being naked.
Who took my clothes off? My pocket money?
Oh my gosh, did I lose my wallet, which was more precious than my life? It had about 50 silver coins in it!
I felt terrible, as if all the blood in my body was running cold. So I forced myself to move, and started rummaging through the drawers and stuff in the room.
Ssuk, ssuk-.
But nowhere was there anything that looked like mine. All I could see was a pair of black women’s underwear that I assumed belonged to someone else.
Is this something like a bra?
It’s big enough to cover my face.
Sniff sniff-.
I sniffed it just in case, and it smelled like freshly washed fabric, but there was also a strange, erotic scent that made my lower body tingle.
And that scent was also spreading throughout this warehouse-like room. For some reason, I felt like I wasn’t really feeling well.
What is this, where have I smelled this before?
As I was wandering through memories that were on the verge of coming back to me, there was a loud bang as the door opened and someone came into the room.
“Are you awake?”
“Hey, Lady Hippolyte.”
“I was worried because you didn’t seem to have any intention of waking up-.”
Hippolyta’s eyebrows furrowed. What her sharp eyes were looking at was none other than my lower body.
Because on my lower body, a majestic juji was sticking out through the bandages, appealing to me.
Perhaps because the sight was burdensome, Hippolyte averted her gaze to the side and muttered quietly enough to be heard.
“… You came to your senses and immediately started rummaging through my, my underwear. You must be very healthy.”
“Yeah, I think so.”
