Lea was only looking ahead anyway. She wouldn’t know what he was doing behind her. Allen desperately pressed down on his er*ect c*ck. Though it was unsightly how it sprang back up like a roly-poly doll, he repeated the action several times.

“…shall I?”

“What, what do you want to do?”

Allen, who had been secretly working on his lower area while looking down, was startled by her voice and covered his lower part with his upper clothes, pretending nothing was happening.

“What? What would I do? I was just asking if I should open this door now.”

“Ah, yes.”

Damn it. Allen bit the inside of his cheek in embarrassment. Even Lea wouldn’t suggest doing it in a place like this. He felt ashamed for misunderstanding and getting startled.

He quickly changed the subject.

“Is this where the monsters were kept?”

“Yes, the Marquis was the main administrator.”

When they opened a door on the side, a large space appeared.

Regardless of how many monsters they had kept, considering that the maximum size of monsters that ordinary knights could capture together was about 7 meters, it seemed this place could easily accommodate about ten of them.

Allen looked around. Water dripped from the ceiling, making irregular sounds, and the walls were stained in places, looking like sticky liquid had dried on them.

“I heard that after the war ended, gladiators burned the monsters alive. The Marquis had put them under magical anesthesia, so they died without much resistance.”

“How do you know that?”

“Jane was a former gladiator.”

“Ah.”

Jane had said they burned everything to ensure no monster remains were left. In fact, they had started a large fire to try to destroy the building itself. But since it was built so sturdily, only half of it collapsed in the fire, which she found quite regrettable.

“This was also where the Marquis experimented on monsters. The soundproofing is so good that no matter how much the monsters screamed, it couldn’t be heard outside.”

That’s why some crazy nobles used this place for secret meetings just because of the soundproofing. The monsters were anesthetized anyway, so there was no danger, and those who knew about this place would come during the day, lock the door, and enjoy having s*x in front of the monsters.

They thought it added a sense of blasphemy and tension.

Lea looked at the bars with hazy eyes, then, unable to bear it any longer, pushed Allen harder in her mind. She almost recalled a scene she didn’t want to remember.

The one time she had been here was something she wanted to hide even from herself.

Allen, who had been concentrating on the serious conversation, inhaled sharply. He almost brought his hand to his lower area, which was suddenly under attack. Though Lea hadn’t actually grabbed his thing, he thought she had and felt his heart sink.

Denying the growing object between his thighs, he said,

“Th-then there might be experimental tools left here.”

“Yes. Since the Marquis was skilled in this type of magic, there’s a possibility some things survived the fire.”

Allen bent over, pretending to look at the floor, and covered his lower area.

‘Please go down, go down.’

He couldn’t believe he was aroused in such a terrible place. He felt like a complete pervert for not only not hating it when the vice commander put him underneath her and touched him there, but actually liking it and leaning into it.

He absolutely could not let Lea discover this. Allen kept reminding himself internally that he was here to work, and looked intently at the floor, trying to find something to pick up.

Just then, something like a leash caught his eye. Judging by its small size, it wasn’t for necks but presumably used to bind the limbs of monsters. Allen picked up the leash and held it out to Lea.

“Vice Commander, was this used as a restraint?”

“Ah, that.”

Lea took the leash from Allen. Though it was hard to see clearly in the dark, it seemed definitely to be reddish in color. However, it looked too flimsy to be a restraint. The chain connected to it was short, and above all, it didn’t look sturdy. The leash was made so that anyone could easily break it.

Lea, having identified what it was, cleared her mind and spoke.

“Yes, it’s a restraint.”

“This Marquis fellow must have been quite skilled in magic. Using such a toy-like thing to bind monsters.”

“Right.”

Lea didn’t bother to explain further.

“Oh, what’s this here?”

This time, an oddly shaped club caught Allen’s eye. About the size of a forearm and split into three branches, its purpose was difficult to guess.

“Is this a weapon for monsters? Though it looks too weak for that.”

“Commander, that’s a d*ldo.”

“d*ldo? So this thing’s name is d*ldo?”

“Yes.”

“Do you know how to use it?”

“It’s used for insertion.”

Allen narrowed his brow and turned the d*ldo around. The end looked blunt, and he couldn’t imagine how one would insert this into a monster.

He considered asking Lea more about it but decided against it.

“Show me how to use it sometime.”

“…If the opportunity arises.”

Allen found it strange that Lea answered after a beat, but he took the item anyway. He also ordered her not to throw away the leash she was about to discard. There might be some magic engraved on it. He thought he should request an examination from a mage in the capital.

“It seems there’s nothing more to see here, so let’s leave.”

Just as they were about to move elsewhere with these two strange objects,

They heard people talking from a distance.

“…this time… definitely…”

“That’s…”

From the conversation, it was estimated to be two people.

After exchanging glances with Lea, Allen pressed himself against the door and held his breath. It wasn’t to hear the outside sounds better. Since thoughts could be heard as clearly as spoken words, there was no need to stay quiet unless one was actively blocking their thoughts. Nevertheless, the reason he held his breath was because of Lea right in front of him.

Perhaps rushing to the door had been a mistake. With his ear pressed against the door, Lea was right next to him. They were facing each other, both bent at the waist in the same position.

The moment their eyes met, with barely a fist’s distance between them, his insides churned violently. Like his vital organs were about to drop.

Perhaps due to their height difference, Lea’s faint breath touched his collarbone. For some reason, everywhere it touched felt hot, driving him crazy. He didn’t understand why her breath felt like fire when Lea wasn’t a legendary dragon or anything.

That heat spread throughout his body and ultimately headed between his thighs, causing his already risen member to throb and rise like a volcano.

Allen strained the blood vessels in his eyes and pinched his thigh. If only Lea would stop imagining. Those unceasing moans and thrusting sounds made him feel like he would explode at any moment.

Unaware of his struggle, Lea whispered,

“Commander, it doesn’t sound like either the duke’s son or the Marquis’s son. But the voice does sound familiar.”

“Vice Commander, didn’t you say this place is well soundproofed… Why do we need to mix breaths—I mean, speak quietly?”

“But we’re infiltrating, aren’t we?”

“What does that have to do with it?”

“Shouldn’t we lower our voices to make it feel like a proper infiltration?”

It was truly exasperating. Lea had a hazy look in her eyes that inspired no confidence.

While still imagining him beneath her.

Could a person be this shameless? Allen was about to say something but stopped. Focusing on the outside voices was more beneficial than engaging in meaningless conversation with Lea.

He pressed his ear firmly against the door.

The voices sounded clearer than before. It seemed their destination was this place.

“……today…… do…… special…… prepared……”

“expect…… ultimate……”

“……using…… heaven……”

“……more than……”

However, Allen couldn’t properly understand more than half of their conversation.

It was partly because the voices and thoughts were mixed, but also because the words they used were unfamiliar.

‘Code words perhaps…… But…’

Something felt strange. Rebels often created words only they understood to maintain security, but this was the first time he had seen thoughts so thoroughly encoded as well.

‘Then perhaps it’s a Northern dialect?’

Though the entire continent had unified under the Braeton Empire and language had been standardized, in truth, most countries had used more or less the same language and script even before that. Some places had slightly different pronunciations, but there weren’t significant linguistic differences that would make speech unintelligible.

While the North could be considered isolated enough to have developed its own dialect, Allen had to immediately reject this idea since Lea and other Northern knights spoke the continental language fluently.

So what were these bizarre words? He couldn’t guess at all.

Wondering if perhaps Lea knew something, Allen rolled his eyes to look at her. Lea was pursing her lips in concentration, nodding repeatedly. Occasionally letting out exclamations, she soon spoke up.

“Truly ingenious.”

“Can you understand what they’re saying?”

“Yes, this is something even I hadn’t thought of.”

Lea looked directly at his face, her eyes gleaming.

“It seems they’re planning to carry out their deed here.”

“Their deed!”

Allen’s face hardened.

A deed surely meant treason. Planning treason today, right now, and here in this Colosseum, just the two of them.

Whatever they were planning to do and however they planned to do it, something major was clearly afoot.

‘They kept talking about shooting something…… Magic perhaps? Is there something here that activates magic? Could it be……”

Allen examined the d*ldo. He thought this “d*ldo” might be the activation weapon.
