"Hey, what are we going to do when this is over?"
Three figures walked by, making a dry, clanking sound.
The source of the noise was the iron full-body armor that the three were wearing.
Even though they were in the middle of the city, they were wearing armor from their toes to their necks and even wearing their helmets.
Leading the group, a man who was slightly shorter than the other two was holding a torch in his hand.
Even though the world had become somewhat more convenient thanks to the wisdom of the hero, not everyone had benefited from it.
Besides, the old-fashioned way of doing things was not so bad.
The three soldiers walked along, chatting and laughing as the flickering flames illuminated the main street where darkness enveloped the world.
There were not many people walking at this hour.
Other than the three of them patrolling, there were only a few people.
If it was the time of day when the sun had just gone down, there would be men stopping by the tavern after work, families on their way home from dinner, and women dressed in revealing clothes waiting for the summons.
The main street was bustling with people.
But now, it was so quiet and deserted that it seemed as though it was a ghost town.
It was so quiet that anyone who knew the usual royal capital would feel eerie.
The soldiers' voices were unnecessarily loud as though they were trying not to feel scared.
"When we're done, maybe we'll have a drink at the bar and then go home to sleep."
"Yeah."
They were talking happily, but when they saw that there was no one around, they sighed.
It was hard to patrol around at night, but they got to live easy because it was a regular job.
Above all, soldiers and knights were paid well because they work in the royal castle, and they were good customers for prostitutes.
They lured them with their prized bodies, deceived them with words, took them to their stores, and asked them to leave their money behind.
The more extreme their seduction services were, the more men were pleased and the more money they spend.
Considering the extreme temptation waiting for them, patrolling at night was not such a bad job.
But it would be difficult to ask for that service today, the three of them thought.
After all, there were not many people around.
It was not completely empty, and they could see opened brothels, but not many.
This was because of the problem that had been told to the soldiers and some of the knights working at the royal castle a few days ago.
――There were missing people in the royal capital.
There was no war between humans, and the natural enemy of humanity, monsters, were outside the stone walls surrounding the royal capital.
Then, who was the culprit?
They didn't like to think about it, but it was probably a human.
They kidnaped people...... those people have not been found yet, so they were already thinking of the worst possible situation.
It was the soldier's and the knight's opinion that the culprit was probably a mentally deranged person.
It was troublesome, the three of them thought.
What was sad was that people were hurting others for their satisfaction.
If they wanted to kill, go outside the stone wall and kill the monsters.
That would be much better for the people and the world.
More than anything, they wished they didn't have to go on patrol every night when there was nothing fun waiting for them after their shift.
The flame from the torch flickered as they walked.
"Sake, woman or both?... The biggest problem was to look around before we get paid."
"You're spending too much. You should save more money..."
"I can't help it, can you? Singles are lonely at night."
"I'm single too, you know."
An idle conversation.
The three of them must be good friends. Their conversation was lively.
It was easy to imagine from the sound of their voices that they were smiling behind their helmets.
They wondered how long they had been walking.
They greeted their colleagues as they passed them from time to time, gave a ride home to a resident who was walking along the main street after work, and when night had completely fallen, there were no more people around.
"Well, then, I guess it's time for a change."
"That's right"
They don't have to walk around the whole city all night to take a look around.
Patrols were always in a group of three. As there was no such thing as a watch, every group took turns when they got tired.
So they were about to go back and sleep after going to a bar
There was no light in the bar and no sign of anyone.
Of course, there was no other sound but their own, the sound of talking and the clanging of metal armor.
"――――"
There was a noise.
At the back of the bar.
It was in the back alley. The sound was so small that it would have easily been missed if it had been during the day when there were people walking around.
"――――"
The soldier holding the torch stopped.
At the same time, the remaining two men pulled their swords from their scabbards.
In the light of the torch, the three men looked at each other without saying a word.
At the vanguard was the man holding the torch. They headed toward the alleyway while being wary of their surroundings.
If it had been a small animal like a cat, It would have been great, but the three of them, who had always been engaged in dangerous missions as soldiers, were on the alert.
Their iron boots were making a sound as they walked.
They walked into the back alley, knowing that if someone was there they would be able to hear them.
There were crates, barrels, and smelly trash cans where people probably threw away their food scraps.
Perhaps it was because it was behind a bar that there were a lot of bottles in the crates.
The smell that hit their nose was probably from those bottles and the vomit from drunks that stained the cobblestone floor.
The man who was lighting the dark alley with his torch looked directly at the vomit and groaned lightly.
At the same time, the light from the torch swayed. Luckily, it illuminated the dark places in the alleyway, and there was nothing behind the crates and boxes.
However, they could hear something. As they moved further into the alleyway, the sound became clearer.
Through their steel helmet, they could hear a muffled voice, like that of breathing.
They stopped and looked around.
All they could see were crates and barrels illuminated by the light from the torch.
They stopped for a few seconds, as though on alert, and discussed what they were going to do without saying a word.
The source of the noise was further back the alleyway.
The sound seemed to be getting louder and louder with each passing moment, and the three of them all gasped.
Pulling back was not an option here.
The man with the torch stepped forward, and the other man protected his back.
The third man followed them while keeping a watchful eye on his back.
The back of the alley was narrow, and the three men in full body armor had no choice but to advance in a line.
As the three of them walked deeper into the alley, the muffled sound became even louder.
......Rather than a muffled sound, it sounded like a sticky liquid slamming against the wall.
A gooey, sickening sound that almost gave them goosebumps just listening to it.
The man at the front of the group, with a dubious expression on his face, lights the way ahead with a torch.
In the warm orange light, all he could see were empty wooden boxes and barrels from the bar.
His breathing was ragged due to tension.
Shallow and short.
The shirt he was wearing under his armor absorbed the sweat and got wet, making him feel uncomfortable.
He could not wipe the sweat from his forehead because of the helmet, and it ran down his cheeks and down to his neck.
The tickling sensation made the man slow down and jerk around.
Kacha――. The metallic sound of the armor, which was different from the sticky sound, reverberated loudly.
"Oh!?"
Perhaps startled by the sound, the man who was walking behind the man holding the torch took a step back in surprise.
At the same time, the long sword in his hand hit a barrel nearby and made a high-pitched sound.
The three of them were on the alert, moving the torch to illuminate the entire area.
But there was no movement.
The sticky sound continued, but there was no noticeable change. At best, the sticky sound had gotten slightly louder.
"Further... ahead?"
He looked at the wall of the tavern on the right.
It was the same as the other building in the Kingdom of Fonteau, using timber pillars and stone walls.
After lightly stroking the wall by the back of his hand, the man with the torch moved on.
At the far end. At the end of the alley was the back of another building, which the soldiers remembered as an ordinary pharmacist's house with nothing particularly remarkable about it.
The residents were an elderly couple who had taken several young men and women as their apprentices.
With the arrival of the hero, life became more convenient but other than that...... magic-related and pharmacy-related business did not undergo much noticeable change.
That was because, although the magic used by the hero was powerful and unmatched, it was largely based on skills.
He could use powerful magic without thinking too hard, but he could not teach it to others.
Because he used it with a very vague feeling by just doing this and doing that without thinking deeply.
When it came to pharmacology, the hero from the other world was an amateur.
Not only could he identify the right kind of herbs, but he also couldn't even make a basic medicine.
The soldiers had heard that one of his companions was making it or were purchasing it in large quantities when they stopped by the city.
Well, in other words.
Magicians and pharmacists would continue to pass on the wisdom they had learned from their masters to their students, who in turn would pass it on to their own students.
Therefore, the houses of pharmacists and magicians were home to many students who wanted to receive a part of their wisdom.
They were the next generation that would lead the Kingdom of Fonteau.
But... the three soldiers thought it was strange.
It was certainly late at night, but they wondered if the people living inside the house were unaware of the sticky sounds coming from behind.
There was no light inside as they could see through the window, and the house was completely dark.
There was no sign of anyone awake.
As they walked deeper into the narrow alleyway, wondering if they were sleeping that deeply, the sticky sound became even louder.
At the same time, he felt that he could hear not only the creepy sound but also something like a weak moan from a person.
“…………”
It must be just his delusion and then he shook his head.
He had a torch in his left hand and a sword in his right.
As he cautiously made his way through the empty alleyway, the wind blew.
Since they were wearing armor, the men were unaffected. However, as the wind blew, the clouds hid the light.
The moonlight was gone, and it was now true darkness.
It was so dark that the light from the torch alone could not even illuminate the surroundings properly.
The iron armor reflected the light and told him where his friends were.
It was only for a moment that he stopped in his tracks.
The man with the torch went further into the alleyway.
"――――what?"
At first, he couldn't figure out what it was.
Illuminated by the light from the torch, it looked like a wall.
The wall was like a rock wall from an untouched cave.
It was uneven, and the torchlight cast shadows on it.
However, the problem was that there was a person in the wall.
A person was embedded in the wall. The man's mind couldn't comprehend the scene, which seemed to be just that.
The same was true for the men who were following him deeper into the alleyway.
The hand that held the sword lost its strength and slumped down.
Unable to recognize the scene in his eyes, he swallowed his words and stared at the figure embedded in the wall for a few moments.
He remembered that face.
"Ah…………"
The third man pointed to the person embedded in the wall with his hand that was different from the one holding the sword.
She was one of the apprentice pharmacists who came to the pharmacist's house for training. although he couldn't tell her gender at first because she was embedded in the wall and only her face was exposed.
One of the soldiers remembered her face, stunned by this unrealistic scene, and was reflexively pointing at her.
"Nggghhhh!!"
The woman raised her voice from the back of her throat.
Mouth―― Something was blocking it, it was as large as a well-trained adult man's arm.
It was blocked, more precisely, something was inside her mouth.
"Eh, uhm... what?"
The man with the torch let out a confusing voice.
A corner of the alleyway was blocked by a mysterious wall.
Looking closely, it was not only the apprentice pharmacist who was visible.
There were several men and women...... No, it seemed that only the women were showing their faces.
The men―― their faces were buried inside the wall.
The cage, which could be seen through using the light from the torch, wriggled slightly.
It was not a rock. In the first place, there was no such thing as a rock whose interior could be seen through.
This was――.
"What the hell, is this!?"
One of the men screamed that sounded like a trembling scream.
The man in the middle stepped back as to flee, and bumped into the man behind him.
The armor hit the cobblestones and a rumbling sound echoed.
The sound brought back the awareness of the man at the front, who was holding the torch.
As he hurriedly illuminated the wall with his torch, he saw a scene so fearsome that it seemed out of this world.
It was not a wall.
Only a few people were floating on the surface.
More than a dozen people were floating inside it that could be seen through by the light from the torch.
"Hii!?"
They might have just been captured.
One of them, which was floating inside it, moved a little. He might have felt the light from the torch and reacted.
He reached out hard inside the mucus.
His eyes met the gaze of the man holding the torch.
Not feeling like helping, he hurried back and tripped over the two people who fell on their butts behind him, causing him to fall heavily on the ground.
The sound of metal armor and cobblestones clashing echoed in the darkness.
The thought of calling out for help to the others patrolling the area didn't even cross their minds.
The three of them all shuddered and tried to distance themselves from it, which had taken in people.
As they crawled back, their backs hit the wall of the alleyway.
The torch was dropped after the man fell, and its light revealed the mysterious wall in the darkness.
"Mmm! Ngghh!!"
The female pharmacist apprentice raised her voice as loud as she could to the three of them.
It was hard to understand what she was saying because her mouth was covered, but they didn't have to think hard about what she was saying. She was asking for help.
But the three of them, who were on their asses, didn't know what to do and could only look at the woman who was desperately asking for help.
As they did so, there was a change.
The wall in which the woman was embedded moved.
"Ngghh!?"
At the same time, the woman convulsed greatly.
Illuminated by the flickering torchlight that the man had dropped on the ground when he fell on his ass, the woman arched her head backward and shuddered several times, exposing her throat.
She must have forced it, deep streaks were visible, not only because her skin was white, but also because it was glossy and wet, glistening with mucus and sweat.
It was somewhat, an eye-catching sight.
A beautiful woman, trapped inside a hideous wall, sweating and screaming.
Then the men noticed.
The woman was wearing clothes.
But that twitching body... its lower body. The place hidden by a skirt, something was writhing.
Underneath the clothes, where the vagina was, it was moving.
It was easy to imagine what that meant, given that the woman's body was convulsing lewdly.
Gulped. One of the three men had just swallowed down his saliva.
“…………”
With their backs against the wall, the three of them were unable to move.
Time passed by, where the only sounds were ragged breathing and the wriggling of the mucus.
Meanwhile, the woman's breathing regulated, but the movement from her pubic area, hidden by her skirt, did not stop.
The woman seemed to have fainted, her body trembling without making a sound.
There was also a change in the other women who were embedded in the wall.
Perhaps they had fainted. However, they regained their awareness, perhaps due to the high-pitched sound caused by the metal armor, or due to the female pharmacist apprentice screaming?
The women who did not move also began to tremble as something was wriggling in their lower bodies hidden by their clothes.
An uncommon scene.
A woman embedded in the wall, her lower body was teased by a strange thing and was breathing lewdly.
Without realizing it, the lower half of the men's bodies also became hot.
Forgetting what must be done, they were just watching and swallowing their saliva.
"――Wh, at... is this..."
Time passed by.
The moon, which had been hidden by the clouds, somehow peeked out, and the world was enveloped by moonlight.
The inaudible voices of the women ceased, and the men's awareness finally returned to reality.
However, their fingertips still didn't move.
Their body was weakened, and they breathe a large amount of air as they had stopped breathing at some point without even realizing it.
"...It won't move, right?"
"Y-yeah..."
One of the three muttered under his ragged breath.
The mysterious wall that captured people... they thought it would not move.
The men didn't know if it was satisfied with violating the women or if there was another reason.
In reality, the women's mana had been sucked out of them meant that there was no reason to violate them, and activities were temporarily suspended.
In the past few days, there have been incidents of people going missing in the royal capital.
These incidents came to the men's minds.
This was the culprit.
This was the one who had been kidnapping people.
In front of them, they understood that while watching the existence that was taking in people and violating the women.
However, although some people were floating on the surface, it did not do anything to the men.
"W-what is this?"
"I don't know... maybe... they were still alive, right?"
It was the women peeking on the surface.
When they were being violated by the wall of mucus, they were twitching lewdly, but now they were unconscious.
Perhaps they were mentally exhausted rather than physically.
The women were all looking down, so the men could not see their expressions.
"……ah"
One man raised his voice.
Some of them were familiar.
Tiana, the queen's maid who was often seen around the castle, and Freia, the sister who was well known in the castle town.
Several other women were famous in the capital.
Some were magicians, some were swordswomen.
In general, they had a large amount of mana in their bodies.
They were not as good as the top-notch mages, such as Leticia, the queen of this country, or the magicians in the castle, but they had a high amount of mana compared to ordinary people.
It absorbed their mana and strengthened itself.
It was thinking of capturing an even more powerful human, even the queen of this country.
The reason why the slime didn't react to the soldiers was that they didn't have a "high amount of mana" to react to them.
However, the three men who didn't know that was fearful and slowly raised their bodies so as not to provoke the slime.
It did not respond.
After confirming this, they picked up their swords, which they had let go of when they had fallen, and moved a little closer to the torch.
This time, they used the light from the torch to illuminate it.
The walls of the alleyway were covered with mucus.
When one of the men touched the wall with his armor-covered hand, it was sticky and stuck to his fingertips.
He felt uncomfortable and waved his hand vigorously, but it did not come off easily.
"It feels... disgusting"
They felt that they had to do something about it, and they didn't know what to do, which only added to the confusion.
One of the men reached for the mucus that was restraining the woman, the apprentice pharmacist, who was screaming for help earlier.
However, when he tried to pull it off, he couldn't pull the mucus off, which was much stronger than it looked, and he quickly gave up and let go.
He then looked down at the hand that had been grasping the mucus.
The other two men looked at the palm of the man's hand too.
His hands, protected by armor, were covered with sticky mucus that clung to the gauntlet like spider silk.
When he closed and opened his hand, apart from the scraping sound of the metal, they heard an unpleasant sound.
And above all, the smell.
The men all squinted at the strange odor that they hadn't noticed because of the tension and kept their faces away from the mucus-covered hands.
The torchlight flickered greatly.
"Hey, go and call for help."
Said by the man, he probably had the highest rank of the three.
"Alone!?"
"...It would be creepier if you stayed here alone."
"That was also true..."
The other two looked at the wall of mucus again and nodded in their chests.
Then one of the men looked up, he felt like one of the people trapped in the wall moved.
"Hmm?"
"What's wrong?"
"No, it looks like it moved..."
He brought the torch closer to check.
It was a woman with shoulder-length hair stuck to her cheeks, the one whom he felt moving.
What she was wearing was probably a maid's uniform. A black one-piece dress and a white apron, like those seen in royal castles and nobles residences. And on her head, a white headband.
It was Tiana.
Her beautiful gray hair was covered in mucus, and her face was devoid of energy.
She was covered in mucus, but her clothes were still intact, which was odd, but he didn't pay any attention to it and approached her with a torch.
The mucus avoided the fire as though it was afraid of it.
"Oh"
The man who was holding the torch raised his voice.
When he moved the torch to the side, the mucus also moved to avoid the fire.
"...Is that wall alive?"
"I don't even want to think about it."
As he said it, he moved the torch to release Tiana's restraints, and the unconscious Tiana fell forward as gravity pulled her down.
One of the soldiers supported her, and without effort, Tiana put her weight on the man.
She was a beautiful maid who took care of her appearance and never showed her weakness under any circumstances. But there was no trace of the woman who held a sharp gaze that even nobles would look away if she stared at them.
While being supported by the soldier, she was unable to stand on her own feet.
Her breathing was ragged, she had the worst body odor a woman could have, and her fine skin was a shadow of its former self.
As soon as the other man saw the man supporting Tiana, the man with the torch tried to unbind the other woman.
Next was Freia.
The sister with the peach-colored braids was also bound still wearing her clothes, like the maid.
Her thick sister suit was covered in mucus, which made her well-proportioned body stand out clearly.
Moderately fruitful breasts, tight hips, bulging buttocks, and thin legs.
She, too, was freed by the fire from the torch and held by another soldier who was not holding Tiana.
Still, the slime did not move.
It had lost interest in the woman whose mana had been sucked out, even though only temporarily.
Hence the carelessness.
That moment.
――Kata.
There was a sound.
The men reacted immediately, and the man with the torch turned his light in the direction of the sound.
There was nothing there.
There were only crates and barrels there.
Then the man who was holding Tiana fell.
He suddenly fell on his ass on the cobblestone floor.
"Oi oi, are you okay?"
The man who was holding Freia called out to him, slightly laughing.
"Uh... eh?"
The man tried to stand up with a bashful smile on his face, probably embarrassed that he had fallen over just holding one woman.
However, his hands were trembling, and it was obvious to everyone that he had no strength even when he put his hands on the ground.
His entire body was trembling and his hand could not support him and Tiana anymore, and finally, he fell to the ground.
The man with the torch had noticed something abnormal and tried to lend a hand... This time, the man holding Freia fell on his ass.
"What……?"
Confused.
The man also was trembling and could not stand up.
At the same time, the wall that had been holding the women moved.
Slowly, tentacles sprouted from the wall and grabbed Tiana and Freia's legs.
"...Nn――"
The two who were unconscious didn't notice.
The man with the torch tried to keep the tentacles away by using the fire from his torch.
When he pushed the torch against the tentacle, the tentacle that had burned was emitting a strange smell that made his nose turn...... smelled like burning garbage.
When they were released, their legs, which were being pulled by the tentacles, fell to the ground.
"Nn……?"
The first one to open her eyes was Tiana.
Even though she was held captive for a few days, she was still a well-trained former assassin.
She blinked her eyes a few times and quickly raised her upper body.
Her body was always been fed, albeit forcibly, was tired but not weak.
She raised her upper body, looked around, and realized that there was a light shining from the torch...... She was free, though she did not know where she was.
She quickly put her hand inside her skirt, but her equipment, which she always hid there wasn't there.
"Where is this!?"
She clicked her tongue and tried to get up.
But before she could, a tentacle wrapped around her leg.
"Hii"
――What leaked was a feeble, innocent girl-like scream.
Her thoughts were in
