The lighthearted visual style of this visual novel shouldn't kill anyone.
With somewhat heavy steps, Mochizuki Oboro stepped onto the nameless island.
At first, it was extremely narrow, barely wide enough for one person to pass through. After walking several dozen steps, it suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious area—this kind of development does not exist.
"Medusa! It's always fish every day, can't you find something else? I only eat fruit!"
The petite girl angrily pinched the cheek of a purple-haired woman.
The woman being pinched clearly looked taller, but she showed no sign of resistance, only crouching down with her head in her hands in defense.
"Oh well, Euryale, there's nothing we can do about it. Let Medusa continue to be our toy for passing the time."
“Since Stheno has said so.”
The girl called Euryale then lifted Medusa's chin, revealing a cryptic smile: "Just like always, you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Medusa trembled all over, but still did not take any significant measures to resist.
"The first thing I saw when I came in was Medusa being bullied." Mochizuki Oboro was incredulous: "Could it be that these two girls who look exactly alike are stronger than Medusa?"
If that's the case, then I'm doomed here today.
Your arrival has attracted their attention. Just as Eri had guessed, they are people you can communicate with, and after a harmonious exchange, you have obtained basic information.
Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa are known as the Gorgon sisters. The two elder sisters are immortal, their forms never changing, and they seem to possess some kind of special ability.
[Medusa, the younger sister, possesses the Mystic Eyes, capable of petrifying her targets, but she has never used them directly on humans. In addition, she can freely transform her hair into snakes.]
My exorcist's intuition tells me that Medusa is the strongest, but the sisters' status doesn't seem to be based on strength.
[Skill: The Allure of the Roots (E) has been activated. You have aroused the interest of Stheno and Euryale.]
Seeing that they could be communicated with, you had Eri also come ashore to the island to explain your purpose and express your hope that they would stop interfering with the fishing industry.
“Impossible.” Stheno shook his head slowly but firmly. “This is our territory, and we will not give it to humans.”
Euryale circled around Mochizuki Oboro a few times, pinching her left arm and touching her right back, seemingly very interested in her.
“Stheno, don’t you think there’s something strange about him?”
“Indeed…then let’s keep him as a servant.”
Medusa, who had remained silent until now, showed a look of sympathy.
Stheno and Euryale want to imprison you here and make you their servant.
"You didn't agree... Never mind, senior, you can choose for yourself."
“BB, I feel like you’ve misunderstood me.” Mochizuki Oboro immediately replied in her mind: “I would definitely refuse something like this.”
[Considering your senior's fondness for pursuing so-called "beauty," I thought you'd become a captive. Continue.]
Before the exquisite stone palace, Euryale looked at Mochizuki Oboro with her head held high and said, "You can stay and become our servant. Be happy about it."
Stheno remained silent, observing the situation with a faint smile on his face.
"Are there any benefits?" Mochizuki asked.
Medusa whispered, "I'm constantly being teased by my older sisters."
“Medusa?” Stheno cast a glance at her, and her sister wisely shut her mouth immediately.
Euryale found it hard to understand: "We are goddesses, shouldn't we be fortunate enough to be their servants?"
"Goddess? Aren't you monsters?"
Stheno replied sarcastically, "Humans will show awe to creatures beyond their comprehension. So-called monsters and gods are not much different."
“Stheno and I are immortal beings, and our forms will never change. Aren’t we goddesses to you?” Euryale continued.
Medusa uttered in a voice barely above a mosquito's buzz: "I am a monster."
"An invitation from the goddess?" Mochizuki Oboro repeated the question.
Euryale nodded.
"—But I refuse."
"Is that so? But the goddess is quite capricious. Medusa, go for it." Stheno didn't take Mochizuki Oboro's resistance seriously.
Hearing her sister's order, Medusa had no choice but to step forward and prepare for battle.
The exquisitely beautiful monster girl revealed her true form: her long purple hair transformed into a ferocious serpent, and her captivating eyes gleamed with a dangerous light.
"If you don't resist, you won't get hurt."
[Boss Battle Begins]
【Medusa】
[Muscle Strength: B+]
Durability: D
[Agility: B]
【Magic: B】
[Lucky: E]
[Skills: Petrifying Eye (A+), Super Strength (B+)]
Although it's just a simulation game, the sense of oppression feels incredibly real.
Medusa's overall stats are almost a level above Mochizuki Oboro's: she has overwhelming strength and an extremely dangerous petrification ability.
Although she is inferior to Mochizuki Oboro in agility and endurance, it is still unknown whether this advantage can be utilized since Mochizuki Oboro cannot look her in the eye after the battle begins.
You try to avoid Medusa's gaze, but she is unlike any monster you've ever fought before; she possesses overwhelming power.
Although I tried to avoid a direct confrontation with Medusa, her combat experience was clearly considerable, and she took full advantage of the weakness in your line of sight.
After several rounds of fighting, Medusa has undeniably gained the upper hand, and your defeat seems only a matter of time.
Stheno, who was watching the battle, sat on the stone steps and said, "After Medusa wins, let him go and repair the Stone Palace."
“I think it’s better to play around first.” Euryale rested her chin on her hands. “It’s so boring.”
A bad start, a series of blunders, a desperate struggle—defeat is inevitable. This is the current state of Mochizuki Oboro.
The core talent "Nothing is Impossible" has been activated.
You seized Medusa's fleeting opening and repelled her. Suddenly, you felt a strange power surge within you.
Medusa struggled to withstand your attacks and was forced to retreat. After several more exchanges, you deflected Medusa's weapon with your sword and delivered a powerful elbow strike to her vitals at close range.
"I can't go on." Medusa, lying on the ground, stuck out her tongue in a very perfunctory manner, and the ferocious little snake returned to its beautiful purple hair.
Although she could still play, she felt it wasn't necessary.
Chapter 5: Victory is assured, a lightning-fast surrender.
Mochizuki Oboro delivered her victory speech: "I almost lost to you, Medusa."
In front of the stone temple not far away.
Euryale rubbed her eyes: "Did I see wrong?"
“Probably not.” Stheno stood up.
Since the younger sister is so useless, it's time for the older sister to take over.
"In the world of monsters, the loser should submit to the winner, right?" Mochizuki Oboro sheathed her sword: "Can we talk now?"
The most powerful of the three Gorgon sisters was Medusa, but now that she's been defeated, the remaining two are no threat.
The eternal girl who cannot survive without the help of others—that is the essence of Stheno and Euryale.
"That's right. The loser should submit to the winner."
Stheno and Euryale said this in unison, both with confident smiles on their faces.
Wang Yuelong suddenly felt a sense of unease.
[Boss Battle Begins]
[Stheno/Eureka]
[Strength: E/E]
【Durability: E/E】
[Agile: B/C]
【Magic: EX/EX】
[Lucky: EX/EX]
[Skills: Enchanting Voice (A/A), Life Steal (C/C)]
If Medusa's main strength lies in physical suppression, then Euryale and Stheno's strength lies in pure mental manipulation.
This time, Mochizuki Oboro was captured before she even had a chance to take any meaningful action.
This is roughly the kind of sorrow that comes from having no mental resilience.
[Stheno and Euryale used their charm abilities; your mind and body are now completely under their control.]
Since it was a simulation game, Mochizuki Oboro remained conscious, but she was unable to disobey their orders.
In other words, Mochizuki Oboro's body will execute commands uncontrollably.
Stheno calmly extended his right hand: "Kneel down on one knee, and then kiss me."
Wang Yuelong stiffly did as instructed.
“Hmm…” Euryale noticed this slight anomaly: “It seems he still has some resistance. Although he will carry out the instructions, it’s very mechanical, not at all heartfelt.”
“Isn’t that a kind of fun too?” Stheno smiled.
Meanwhile, at the seaside.
Eri Se put down her binoculars in disbelief.
What's going on? Didn't we already defeat that big guy who seemed the most troublesome?
"This is too weird," Erise muttered to herself.
Completely confused. Before Mochizuki Oboro landed on the island, Eri had already seen the big guy being bullied and the two little ones through her binoculars.
She had assumed Medusa would be one of the two little ones.
However, based on eyewitness accounts, Medusa can turn her hair into venomous snakes, and Eri Sei's battle was enough for her to conclude that the taller woman was Medusa.
Eri continued to take out her binoculars to observe.
One made him kneel down and kiss his hand, and the other... how did he end up riding on his head?!
There are three possible scenarios.
First, Mochizuki Oboro is actually an incurable lolicon, captivated by the appearance of monster girls.
Second, those two guys were very strong, far stronger than Medusa. Mochizuki Oboro surrendered to save her life after just one glance.
Third, they are rare monsters capable of mind manipulation. Mochizuki Oboro was exhausted after the battle and could not withstand it.
Eri fell into thought.
If it's the first one, that's fine, but if it's the second one, even if I go to the island with them, I'll just be throwing my life away.
Third... what if their allure also works on women?
Gotta find a way.
Erise by the sea is having a brainstorming session, while Mochizuki Oboro on the island is being treated like a toy.
"Stheno, is this the first time we've been this close to humans?" Euryale thought, her mind racing with countless ideas for what to do once she returned to Earth.
“After all, Medusa was always the one who chased away those ugly creatures,” Stheno said.
Euryale unconditionally loves beautiful and cute things, and unconditionally abhors ugly things. Stheno is much the same.
Due to the influence of the skill "Charm of the Root (E)", Mochizuki Oboro also attracted the attention of the two goddesses.
Because there were so many things she wanted to try, Euryale didn't know where to begin.
