"900 mid-grade magic stones. I can't give up on that."

"Then what's your plan? You gonna raise them now? Galahad's one thing, but Guinevere isn't completely on our side."

"But it's 900 mid-grade magic stones! With that, all our orcs could ride Worwolves! 3-star ones!"

After the hasty retreat from basement 1.

I blocked the entrance to the underground and discussed the basement 1 raid strategy with my subordinates again. It would've been great to kill all roughly 1000 Slime Dragons, but unfortunately only 900 remained.

"I need to get at least half. And these are only the ones I directly stuck my hand in and pulled out. Magic stones—just 12!!"

"Then what are you gonna do? There's no way to beat them all one by one. You're not gonna grind down the kids, right? You're not gonna send them in, make them die if they can't get magic stones, then revive them with the magic stones we got, right?"

"Master. Lord Solomon advised dungeon masters against doing that."

"I wasn't even thinking about it, but I learned something new. Demons really are something."

Piecemeal commitment. It was a fairly plausible suggestion, but I had no intention of doing it.

"But I don't want to do that. I don't want to push my subordinates into death and let the Slime Dragons eat them. More than anything, wasting magic stones like that would be a shame."

"If it weren't for the last part, you'd really be a benevolent legion commander."

"Why are you being so dramatic now? If I'm gonna do it that way, I'd rather beat them down myself every day. There'll be experience point loss if I kill them, but at least we'd secure the magic stones."

Currently, only three beings in our legion could perfectly kill Slime Dragons.

First, Gremory.

As an elementalist, Gremory could burn them all with wide-area fire magic, but one wrong move could set the entire dungeon on fire. Like burning down the whole house to catch a bedbug.

Second, Lune.

Lune, who'd already far exceeded level 50, even surpassing the 3-star max level of 55, could kill one by shooting three or four arrows in succession. Level-wise it was appropriate so there was no experience point loss, but the problem was that killing from long range meant the corpse and magic stone would be cannibalized by other Slime Dragons.

And finally, me.

I'd torn apart even slimaholes with both hands, which were harder than Slime Dragons, so Slime Dragons were no problem at all. Though it did take a bit longer since I had to stick my hand inside to rip out the magic stones.

Get magic stones and lose experience points?

Get experience points but throw away magic stones?

"I'm definitely going with the former. I need to stock up the actual goods first, right? After using all the magic stones, we need to have plenty in reserve. Pull superior Stone Golems to build walls, pull one Worwolf for each orc, and if there are leftover magic stones, we can grind them up and eat them."

"So how many can you get in a day?"

"If I work all day... about 50?"

That was just my estimate. And my plan faced collective opposition from the start.

"No way. Master, you need to pour into me at least once every day."

"Right. Your thing is so busy, why would you waste time on that?"

"Master. I still..."

"You don't want to fuck me?"

"Then I concede. I withdraw. Let's just farm 10 a day."

For this dungeon to run properly, my dick needed to be busier than my body. I nodded at my subordinates' advice.

"But why are you standing there so confidently?"

"What, you don't like it?"

"No. It's just sudden."

I asked the dark elf Luna, who'd boldly shown herself in our dungeon, about the reason for her visit. And Luna crossed her arms with an extremely confident face and looked proud.

"I came because I wanted to do it!"

"Oh, how bold."

As expected, once the horny switch flips, elves getting lewd seems to be their default setting. After being forbidden for so long and unable to try, then being enlightened through me, how great must that resonance be? I decided to give Luna what she wanted.

"But let's do that later. Can you even leave right now?"

"Huh? Why?"

"I told you to come when your belly's big."

About 25 days since planting seeds in Luna. In about four more days, Luna would be completely pregnant. As a forest guardian elf, she was about to commit an absolute taboo—not only carrying a monster's seed but even getting pregnant and trying to give birth, so I couldn't help but worry.

"You said it's hard to leave because of guardian duties. Can you leave now, stay overnight, then come out again in a few days?"

"Hehe, don't worry. That's why I'm thinking ahead and moving."

Luna raised her thumb with a refreshing smile.

"I volunteered for a long-term mission and bolted!"

"This girl's really hopeless?"

"You said to come whenever I want!"

"Well, that's true. Yeah, you're welcome."

She came to the Ras Army because she wanted to do Ras—how could I possibly stop her? Right now, there was no one in our entire legion who could beat Luna one-on-one.

"You seem casual enough that I think you've already introduced yourself to Shaitan and Gremory, but there's another human here, you know? This is my son-in-law and priest Guinevere who might be my potential enemy. And this is my grandson, Orc Paladin Galahad."

"A priest? A paladin? Goddess Church followers?"

Luna clapped at the two beings using divine power and beamed.

"May the goddess's grace be with you!"

"May the goddess's grace be with you. Um, excuse me..."

"Even though you're a dark elf, you follow the goddess. What a truly rare experience."

Inside the dungeon, Luna was currently chocolate-flavored. And Luna clearly revealed her identity.

"I'm melon-flavored!"

"Pardon?"

"Ah, sorry. I picked it up from her a bit. I'm just an elf. Only a dark elf inside the dungeon."

"?????"

The father and son fell into confusion! Only after briefly going outside the dungeon to prove the melon-chocolate milk phenomenon could the subordinates recognize Luna's abnormality. And that abnormality was also the reason Luna could freely come and go from our dungeon.

"Hehe. Thanks to that, I can fuck and leave without getting caught at all."

"I wonder what she'll do if the village kicks her out."

"If the village kicks me out, you'll take responsibility, right?"

"Well, that's true."

How could I just leave alone someone with motherhood rivaling Lime's?

"But you know, you're just saying it's a long-term mission but planning to stay here until you give birth, right?"

"Yeah. I came to rest while I'm at it. Things are crazy on our side these days."

"Crazy?"

"Yeah. The human alliance keeps insisting we join the alliance. Right now the 1st Elder is smoothing things over and sending them away, but lately they keep coming out of the forest demanding we fight against the Demon King's Army."

"I can guess the reason. I'll make you an excuse you can use later."

I provided Luna with appropriate information to disguise as a long-term mission.

A Demon King's Army rank 63 dungeon created near the Elven Forest.

The orcs in that dungeon very easily occupied a human city.

They have absolutely no interest in the Elven Forest and have no intention of fighting first except against the human alliance.

"This much is pretty solid info for intelligence gathered on a long-term mission, right?"

"More than enough. But is it okay? Giving this much away. Seems dangerous."

"What if it's dangerous? You see, I'm an orc who might not know about guests, but I'm not generous to invaders. If the elves invade our dungeon, hehehehe."

Luna shuddered at my touch. Now there was no problem whatsoever with this kind of behavior toward Luna. Luna also didn't seem to care much about me messing with other elves.

"Yeah, do whatever you want. Hell, you can invade if you want. I've lost my attachment to our forest now."

"What? Sister, what do you mean?"

"Ah..."

Luna bit her lip as if she'd made a mistake. Everyone's eyes fixed on Luna, their gazes filled with curiosity and interrogation. What exactly had Luna, an elf with the position of guardian, lost attachment to? Luna briefly squeezed her eyes shut under everyone's gaze, then shrugged.

"Ugh. I really have a loose mouth. Is it okay to tell you? Hmm. Fine. What I mean by losing attachment isn't anything else. The Elven Forest is currently split into two factions."

"Split into factions? Elves?"

"Elves who only trust the elders' commands could split into factions?"

"Yeah."

Luna raised both hands. One finger on one hand, two fingers on the other.

"There's the 1st Elder faction opposing the divine tree's designation of 'someone' as the next queen, and the 2nd Elder faction supporting the divine tree's opinion. The reason I came out calling it a long-term mission is none other than because of you, Lune."

"This flow, don't tell me..."

"Yeah. That's right."

Luna pointed at Lune and nodded firmly.

"The divine tree designated her. The next queen of the Elven Forest will be a young elf who left the forest on her own feet."

***

Boom!!

The tree trunk split lengthwise. The 1st Elder, who'd turned the room into a mess, was brimming with murderous intent. In the corner, the 1st Elder's daughter Sola was crouched and trembling.

"Hehe, hehehe. Sola. Do you think this makes any sense?"

"N-no..."

The 1st Elder was so angry she'd even thrown away her dignified elder tone and was throwing a fit. Sola just hoped that anger wouldn't splash onto her.

"Right. It doesn't make sense. It can't make sense. It's a taboo set by the divine tree. I've lived without breaking taboos for already 700 years, and you've done everything possible not to break a single taboo. Right, why did we do that? To become the next leader of the elves. Queen, queen! The being who can use the Holy Sword protected by the divine tree!"

Madness could even be seen in the 1st Elder's eyes. The 1st Elder's bloodshot eyes were fierce, as if they'd tear apart enemies with just a look. Naturally, Sola, who could do nothing in the same space, had no choice but to cower like a dead mouse.

"I failed! The divine tree granted me the position of elder! Ah, Sola, you wouldn't know. My limit, unable to advance beyond elder anymore! But you're different, Sola. Like your name, the sun, you can become a unique being hanging high in that sky! The queen of the elves! The being who will become the light of the elves!!"

At the 1st Elder's smile gripping Sola's shoulders, Sola nodded vigorously.

"But why!!!!"

"Eek!!"

"Why make that young bitch who broke taboos as she pleased the queen instead of my daughter!! That bitch born from the body of some random slut we don't even know where she came from!!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!"

Sola apologized with clasped hands without even knowing what she'd done wrong. Only then did the 1st Elder realize she'd lost her mind and pulled Sola into a tight embrace.

"My child... I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm absolutely not angry at you. It's wrong that that damn bitch's daughter stole the queen's position that should rightfully be yours. Right."

The 1st Elder hugged Sola and muttered coldly.

"For a bitch violated by demons to dare...!"

"...!!"

***

"Me? Queen? I don't want to."

Lune flatly refused. Luna also shrugged as if she'd expected as much.

"Well, if you'd lost attachment, you would've lost it already. Anyway, the 1st Elder and 2nd Elder are fighting like crazy right now. You know Sola? The 1st Elder threw a huge fit in front of the elves because she didn't become queen."

"Ah..."

"Is Sola the 1st Elder's daughter or something?"

"Yes."

"Then that makes sense. But why is the divine tree making a fuss about choosing a queen?"

From what I'd heard from Lune and Luna before, elves had everything decided by the elders and didn't have a separate 'king'-like existence. Not even a queen who exists but doesn't reign—the title of queen existed in name only but didn't actually exist.

"Because we're really going to fight a war."

"Only the queen can mobilize the elves for war. Humans don't understand, but for elves, that's the rule."

"I see. But Lune, still, wouldn't being queen be good?"

"I'm not interested in being queen or anything. I like things as they are."

"Well, that's true. And there's no law saying Lune has to be the queen."

A young elf who left the forest on her own feet. The last one might be Lune, but surely there are one or two such elves. At least it won't be Lune.

'Strictly speaking, she didn't leave on her own feet.'

I don't care whether Lune is the subject of the divine tree's oracle or not. Anyway, I have no intention of sending Lune away, and Lune has no intention of leaving this dungeon either.

"Lune, is there anything you want?"

"Hmm... I eat Master's thing every day, so... Ah!"

Lune clapped her hands and smiled brightly.

"I want to ride a Worwolf too! When we get one later, can I ride around on a female one?"

"Guess I really need to collect a shitload of mid-grade magic stones."

If Lune wants to ride one, of course I have to summon it. I scooped up a bowl of Robo (Unit 2) soup full of ingredients and held it out to Luna.

"Then Luna. Your queen says she wants to ride a Worwolf. Eat this heartily and let's go to work."

"Work?"

"Yeah. Since you're here, you gotta work, right? Let's farm some magic stones like crazy."

Here's a dark elf who can use divine power.

"One generous load inside per 200 mid-grade magic stones."

"Are you fucking insane?"

"If you don't like it, use that. I just got a new dildo tree recently, wanna try? Hey, Gremory! Show us a demonstration!"

"Hey! Even dogs don't bother people while they're eating, mmph?!?!"

"..."

We ultimately compromised at 150.
