\text("Caym")
Hey―
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
No way.
\endtext

\text
Before Caym could say anything, Risbell cut him off coldly.

\endtext

\text
Caym and Risbell locked eyes, staring each other down.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
I haven't even said anything yet.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
I can pretty much guess what you want to say. You want a
break, right?
\endtext

\text
Risbell glared at Caym with a scornful look as she said
that.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Yeah, that's right. You figured it out, Risbell.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Of course you can't! This is all your own fault anyway!

\endtext

\text
She pointed at the mountain of documents waiting for
approval.
\endtext

\text
It was a pile of paperwork that Caym had kept putting off,
letting it build up over time.
\endtext

\text
As a result, Risbell's patience had finally snapped.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
But I've been working for over half a day straight now...
Let me rest a little.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Hmph, you say that after slacking off so much that the work
piled up this badly... Haven't you already had plenty of
rest?
\endtext

\text
Risbell smiled brightly. But in her eyes, there was a
murderous intent that sent chills down his spine.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
...You're right. Yeah, I've had enough rest.

\endtext

\text
Terrified, Caym decided to face the paperwork honestly.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
(...From now on, I really need to stop letting the paperwork
pile up.)
\endtext

\text
As he carved that resolve into his heart, the sound of
someone knocking on the door echoed through the room.
\endtext

\text("El")
Sorry to interrupt while you're working! I have an urgent
report...
\endtext

\text
El entered without a hint of tension, and Risbell couldn't
help but glare at her.
\endtext

\text
El's face stiffened under Risbell's murderous gaze.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Risbell, don't glare like that.
\endtext

\text
Chided by Caym, Risbell let out a sigh and calmed herself
down.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...You're right, sorry about that, El-san. So, what is it?

\endtext

\text("El")
Do you know a place called Naz=Nidra?
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Yes, that's the marshland in the eastern part of the Arda
Great Forest, right?
\endtext

\text
El nodded in agreement at Risbell's words.

\endtext

\text
That vast marshland was said to be so inhospitable that even
the Brightleafs wouldn't settle there.

\endtext

\text
Untouched by human hands, it was famous as a natural
paradise teeming with all kinds of creatures.

\endtext

\text("El")
Yes, but lately, something seems off about that place...

\endtext

\text
Saying that, El's expression clouded over.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Off? What do you mean by that?
\endtext

\text("El")
Apparently, the usually docile creatures have suddenly
become violent.
\endtext

\text("El")
And now the surrounding villages are starting to suffer
damage, so they came to me to see if something could be
done...
\endtext

\text
After hearing El's story, Caym lost interest, while Risbell
put her hand to her chin, deep in thought.
\endtext

\text
If it were far from the labyrinth, they could have just
ignored it, but a newly expanded section had an opening near
that very area.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
If we leave it alone, people will start doubting our ability
to govern...
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Let's organize an extermination squad to deal with it.
El-san, could you take command?
\endtext

\text
At Risbell's words, El's gloomy face brightened into a
smile.
\endtext

\text("El")
Yes, leave it to me♪ That area's a real maze, so without me,
you'd definitely get lost.

\endtext

\text("El")
Especially the monsters causing the most trouble―they've
made a nest in a cave deep in the marsh. If we can secure
that, we should be fine.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
I see. Then let's make sure we're well prepared before we
head out.

\endtext

\text
As Risbell tried to wrap up the conversation, El
interjected.
\endtext

\text("El")
If possible, I'd really appreciate it if we could move
quickly...
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Why is that?
\endtext

\text("El")
It seems there are people who've been kidnapped by the
monsters, so I'd like to help them if we can.

\endtext

\text("El")
Well, if they've already been eaten, then that's that...

\endtext

\text("Caym")
What?
\endtext

\text
El's words finally caught Caym's attention.

\endtext

\text
He turned to El with a serious expression.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Are there any women among those who were taken?
\endtext

\text("El")
Y-yes... I think there were. Why do you ask?

\endtext

\text
El tilted her head in confusion at Caym's question.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
If the monsters kidnapped women without eating them, what do
you think their goal is, Risbell?
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Uh, ah, well... maybe they brought them as food for their
young in the nest...
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Or, there are some monsters that apparently use humans to
breed...
\endtext

\text
Hearing Risbell's answer, Caym grinned and stood up
excitedly.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Yes, that's it!!
\endtext

\text("Caym")
A beautiful Brightleaf girl, trapped deep in the cave, bound
by monster tentacles, tormented and violated over and
over...
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Inside her womb, monster spawn have been pumped into her
over and over... heh.
\endtext

\text
Caym grinned lewdly as he fantasized about the scene.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Outrageous, that's just outrageous... I have to see it for
myself, no, we must rescue her as soon as possible!

\endtext

\text("Caym")
El, Risbell, assemble an extermination squad immediately!
I'm coming too.
\endtext

\text
El and Risbell exchanged glances and sighed at Caym's
insatiable perversion.
