“Hai♡ I am the enchanting villainess, Adelaide Schmidt.” (Adelaide)

With a pose that accentuated her chest, she executed a coquettish wink and blew a kiss into the air. Adelaide-senpai’s commitment to her performance was astonishingly exuberant, indeed, surpassing all expectations of those who beheld her. Mira, who was in charge of filming, trembled in awe at the overwhelming presence of her chest.

“Y-you, this is absurd, isn’t it!? Your chest… it has become like this!” (Mira)

“…No, Mira-chan, this outfit was prepared by you. I cannot accept any complaints directed at me.” (Adelaide)

That explained it. Such a provocatively revealing costume, with its daring cleavage and bold design, was something I had never seen in any guild shop. Clearly, it had been procured individually from England and shipped by air. The reason Adelaide-senpai’s participation had taken until today was undoubtedly due to this.

Her shoulders and neckline were fully exposed, and even the space between her breasts had a daring slit, yet nothing seemed to spill forth. How curious that it remained contained. The entirety of her outfit was unified in a deep purplish-black hue. A pointed hat crowned her head, gloves reached to her elbows, and her attire was a form-fitting, alluring dress. Her staff was accompanied by a backup knife, and she even bore a bag on her back.

“Say, Mira, is this really safe in terms of defensive capability?” (Kouta)

“Oh my, is that truly your primary concern?” (Mira)

I could hardly believe she was the same high school student as us. Even a mere glance in our direction was enough to unsettle with her overwhelming sensuality. Mira herself had prepared the costume but had collapsed in astonishment, abandoning her filming duties entirely. Fortunately, we had footage from Sofia and Emilia’s cameras, so it could be skillfully edited afterward.

Haruka-kun appeared concerned for Mira’s state.

“Um, then, why did you choose such a… provocative outfit?” (Kouta)

“To attract your attention.” (Adelaide)

Despite being taller than myself, she looked up from beneath lowered eyelids, casting a coquettish upward gaze.

“…You are a magic art user build, right? What happened to your previous outfit?” (Kouta)

“Not suitable, hmm~. Yes, I am a magic art user, but a rather unpopular debuff-oriented type. Until recently, most of the gear I had was practically defenseless. I had no money to obtain anything better.” (Adelaide)

I finally understood.

Even so, now we had a team with both buffs and debuffs in place. In games, such a configuration was commonplace, yet in reality, such a combination was extraordinarily rare and highly valued. Among gamers, this setup had long been whispered to be the strongest, yet in the real world, bureaucrats and influential figures had consistently prevented its implementation. And now, astonishingly, it stood before my eyes.

“Ah… I desire your presence so much…” (Kouta)

“!?… I-indeed, with pleasure…” (Adelaide)

“Hei! That’s enough.” (Emilia)

Emilia intervened, obstructing the handshake between Adelaide-senpai and myself.

“There is no opening for negligence, is there? To think that in that single instant, you attempted to ensnare Kouta.” (Sofia)

“On the contrary, it has always been Adelaide who has been enamored, not Kouta. Yet, I cannot allow Kouta to learn the taste of Adelaide just yet.” (Emilia)

What is this? Could it be that the brilliance of Adelaide-senpai’s skill is something that Emilia and Sofia fail to appreciate? For any gamer, this configuration was a dream realized in perfection. Moreover, Adelaide-senpai herself possesses the physique that countless boys could only fantasize about.

“Adelaide, we possess the right to expel you from the party. Yield precedence to us or face expulsion.” (Sofia)

“Very well, I understand. Yet, you know he is insistent, do you not? If I must yield to agents of other nations, I shall instead receive him first, shall I not?” (Adelaide)

“You shall not have the opportunity.” (Sofia)

What is this discussion about?

“Words are simple to speak, yet the Nagoya Dungeon terrorist incident, once seen on footage, has caused multiple nations to mark him. They believe he is the ‘Kamiizumi Nobutsuna of Japan’.” (Adelaide)

“Who could have said such a thing?” (Kouta)

“At the German Dungeon Embassy in Toyota, I heard it firsthand.” (Adelaide)

Ah… those who are unversed in martial arts… They had seen my movements and mistook me for the strongest in Japan.

“And now, various nations intend to set honey traps for him. They want me to prevent it.” (Adelaide)

“You accepted such a thing?” (Kouta)

“For others, I would have refused. But if it eases the life of the one I love, why should I refuse?” (Adelaide)

So, it seems, from this discussion, that Adelaide-senpai may receive some financial reward from the German organizations for her efforts.

“Adelaide is serious, then?” (Kouta)

“Yes, I am prepared to offer everything.” (Adelaide)

“For your nation?” (Kouta)

“Are you foolish, Sofia? It is for myself. I wish to be loved by him.” (Adelaide)

It felt as though I had just received a passionate declaration of love, yet I had done absolutely nothing. By leaving this matter to Mira, fortune had returned to me, and yet my guilt was overwhelming.

However, honey traps are fundamentally designed to extract information, are they not? I could barely see the value in applying such a scheme to a mere skirmish against terrorists. It remained a complete mystery to me.

That day, Adelaide-senpai’s level increased.
