Breeding MILFs: Debauched Hero

"There’s only one way, after all."

"Only one...?"

Piery tensed up.

I was currently talking with Piery in the manor’s kitchen.

"To get familiar with your ability, you need to know how to use it and practice with it often."

It was obvious, really.

Weapons were the same. Just being strong didn’t mean you could wield a sword.

Many people didn’t know this, but swords were actually weapons where skill was more important.

Conversely, strength was very important for bows. The strength to draw, the strength to stand with a consistent stance and maintain it, and so on.

Even learning to handle such weapons required a long time, unless one was a genius.

Because they had to get used to it.

"How?"

The methods that immediately came to mind were sparring and dungeons.

But sparring wasn’t easy for Piery, who was a beginner. It was even ambiguous who she would spar with in the first place.

"It’s a shame, but there are no novice ability users in my harem."

Lorel might be a good match, but she was a nun, so entrusting her with it felt a bit off.

She was a truly devout person. Even if it was sparring, how was it different from telling someone to beat someone up?

"Then what’s left is dungeon exploration."

This part was actually a bit tricky. The methods were limited, but there wasn’t much suitable for Piery.

Should I entrust it to Drom? No way. He’s a goblin, and his skills have improved so much recently that he’d instantly obliterate Piery.

As I pondered, Piery lowered her head, seemingly lacking confidence.

"I guess I just can’t do it, can I? I don’t even have the talent to control my own ability, like an idiot...."

I looked at her for a moment. She was like my past self, lacking confidence.

"No talent? You don’t know that yet."

"Well... I tried to use my ability for a moment earlier, you see?"

"Hmm? Did you succeed?"

Piery nodded at my question. What? She succeeded?

For a moment, I doubted my eyes. Piery had only just realized she had awakened.

But she succeeded in using her ability? What the heck? Is she a genius?

"Wait a minute, Piery. You’re saying you can manifest your ability?"

"Just a moment. Was it like this?"

Piery focused on a nearby flower vase. I watched with her.

Staring at the flower in the pot, Piery seemed to be concentrating.

Soon, a change occurred.

[Time Manipulation - Acceleration]

Tick-tock! Ding!

The hour and minute hands spun on the flower, and it instantly withered and fell with a thud.

"H-huh."

I unconsciously let out a gasp. Wasn’t this something anyone would gasp at?

"That’s incredible?"

No, holy crap. She just "tried it out" and it was like that?

What the hell? Piery, is she a genius?!

"Hmm, it’s still difficult. It feels like... masturbation."

"...Huh? Ma-masturbation?"

What the hell was she talking about now? It was hard to keep my composure because of Piery.

She explained nonchalantly.

"I can build up the atmosphere little by little if I concentrate. But then, suddenly, the atmosphere just surges, and my ability bursts out without me realizing it. Like a faucet, gushing out!"

I averted my gaze from Piery for a moment. I couldn’t tell if she was oblivious or doing it on purpose.

No matter what example she used, to use masturbation as an example.

Well, women do come out a lot. Yeah, like a fountain. Gushing.

I shook my head, then smiled brightly.

"I know what to do. I’ll explore low-level dungeons and build up her experience!"

The burden felt lighter now that something to do was decided. The question then was which dungeon to go to.

"Piery, let’s go to a dungeon then!"

"A-a dungeon?"

"Don’t be surprised. To use your ability in real life, you first need to know how to handle it properly. Since there are no tools to help with that, we’ll have to use monsters instead, right?"

Unless we were going to destroy all the potted plants in the manor, that is.

Piery asked, her face a mix of fear and excitement.

"So, I have to fight?"

"In your case, Piery, think of it as using your ability to protect. Calmly, statically. To protect someone or to protect a place. If you approach it with that mindset, dealing with monsters will feel less burdensome, won’t it?"

I gave her sincere advice. Honestly, I was such a gamer that there wasn’t much difference for me between destroying monsters in a game or destroying them directly here.

There was just the pressure and excitement of dying if I lost.

Piery’s situation would be different from mine. She wasn’t trying to become a Hero in the first place.

"Ah, ugh...."

Piery hesitated for a moment. Even for an awakened person, fighting monsters head-on wasn’t easy.

Nevertheless, Piery nodded, her eyes filled with a sense of resolve.

Determination was etched on her face.

"I’ll do it. Where should we go?"

This was the problem. I pondered first.

"Raid Island is dangerous. There aren’t just one or two gates there, so...."

I looked back at Piery for a moment. Let’s just go.

"Follow me."

We went outside. The weather was clear. Warm sunlight illuminated the manor.

As if blessed by a god, the entire manor shone brilliantly with a golden hue.

Honestly, it was too nice a day to go to a dungeon.

"Hyaa, what great weather."

"Indeed. It’s perfect weather for an outing."

For now, there were minor dungeons near Weaverpool.

These were so low-level that Those Who Recite Sins Cult probably hadn’t even bothered to clear them properly.

So we had to go to one of them.

I summoned Dawn and climbed onto it first. Standing on Dawn, I extended my hand.

"Alright, let’s go to the dungeon!"

"A sword... in mid-air?"

Piery was surprised.

"We could just fly there, but we should enjoy this nice weather on the way, right?"

"Ah, yes. Then...!"

Piery got on behind me. As she spread her arms to balance herself, we slowly ascended.

And I made us fly at a moderate speed.

Whoooosh!

"This is my first time doing something like this... It’s amazing!"

"Is that so? Ugh, anyway, the weather’s so nice. I feel like taking a nap."

"Oh, speaking of which, aren’t you having a wedding?"

"A wedding? Ahh...."

Come to think of it, that’s right. When would I have a wedding?

There were so many things I hadn’t been able to pay attention to because of Those Who Recite Sins Cult and Grant.

Actually, having a wedding and then going on a honeymoon is the standard. But well, these days, couples don’t necessarily have weddings, do they?

"Your aunt Selena and the Goddess... I thought they were already married."

"I hadn’t thought about it until now. I suppose I should have a wedding."

This was a bit ambiguous. The wedding itself could hold great meaning.

A wedding, no less.

How many weddings does a person have in their life? In a normal life, it would be once. Though I might have to do it multiple times.

But there’s something about a wedding. There’s a risk of a "main wife deciding battle" breaking out.

If those women fought all at once, ugh, I wouldn’t be confident in stopping them.

If it’s an extremely dangerous thing to do, wouldn’t it be better not to even try?

"But a wedding is just as important an event as a honeymoon...."

It’s quite a dilemma. I felt like I needed to think about this more in the future.

Then, moving away from Weaverpool, we stopped near a sheer cliff.

If my memory served me right, there should be a dungeon nearby.

We descended below and landed on the ground. As her feet touched the earth, Piery visibly relaxed.

"Phew...."

Cute. Adorable.

Piery looked around.

"This is a cliff, isn’t it?"

"Yes, if we go further from here, a canyon will appear too."

"Are there a lot of monsters there?"

"There are many, but the place we’re going is over there."

I pointed to the dungeon attached to the cliff. As we approached, its specs appeared.

[Barren Land of Butterfly Canyon]

-Composition: Open Area, 1st Floor

-Difficulty: ★1

-Objective: Annihilation Battle

-Reward: 100 Gold, Random Item x1

※Main Composition: Slime, Raging Hound

It was a pretty ordinary, unremarkable low-level dungeon.

"Wait, what if I had the wedding in a dungeon instead? No, stop fantasizing."

I shook my head vigorously and explained.

"This place should be suitable. The only monsters that appear are Slimes and Raging Hounds."

"Ugh, I’m nervous."

"I’ll protect you as we go, so try using your ability comfortably and freely. It’s okay to make mistakes."

Piery nodded, her lips pressed together.

She bravely began to move forward. Standing by her side, I held her hand. Warmly.

"Ah...!"

"This helps a bit, right? Fighting!"

"Thank you."

Piery turned to face forward, her face flushed. I entered the dungeon with her. As soon as we entered, it became noisy.

A Raging Hound, a medium-sized dog with boar-like fur, was barking nonsense and charging towards us.

Drooling as it ran, its form was unmistakably that of a rabid dog.

"K-kuh...!"

"It’s not bigger than my dick, is it? You can handle it. Don’t lose!"

"You perverted debauchee...*ahem, alright then."

Piery’s face returned to its calm state. She glared at the Raging Hound.

Her ability was immediately activated.

[Time Manipulation - Acceleration]

Tick-tock!

The hour and minute hands spun on the Raging Hound’s face, overlapping.

The Raging Hound leaped into the air, trying to bite Piery.

It could no longer bark. It couldn’t even bite anymore.

Its black fur slowly turned white, and its muscular body instantly withered away.

The Raging Hound collapsed weakly and breathed its last.

Wow, it works on living creatures too?

"Oh, wow... I did it!"

"Don’t forget that sensation. You need to grasp the line more statically from there."

"Yes!"

I felt good about it too.

The next opponent was a Slime. A Slime wiggled its way towards us.

"C-cute...."

"Piery. While pet slimes do exist, this is a dungeon. Remember that. Don’t forget."

"Ah, yes. Hmm!"

[Time Manipulation - Acceleration]

She activated Acceleration once again. The hour and minute hands overlapped on the Slime, and acceleration began.

But this time, it was strange. The Slime squirmed, then suddenly its body swelled up. In that state, it grew even larger and emitted immense magical power.

The Slime, now as large as a tank, vibrated its body.

Piery gasped in horror and then collapsed. It was an unexpected situation.

"That’s right, Slimes don’t have the concept of aging and dying, do they? They’re theoretically immortal! Crazy!"

The evolved Slime was looking down at us. It even let out a monstrous roar.

"Kueeeeeeh!"

As it tried to rampage, Piery cried tears and shouted with a pale face.

"W-what do we do? What should I...!"

"Rewind time, quickly!"

"Huh?"

"You can do it, Piery!"

In this crucial moment, instead of catching the fish for her, I taught her how to catch it efficiently.

Now, Piery’s mental state was important.

The Slime squirmed, trying to engulf us. Its colossal shadow covered both of us like a wave.
