洞窟で冒険者が四巴の融合戦をして対消滅する話-EN #1 (Pixiv Fanbox)

A dim light illuminates the inner walls of the dark cave. On the walls are faint traces of the precious resources buried there. Fiona Simmons, an explorer, was hoping that the chain of resources - the gold vein - would continue further into the depths of the cave, and that if she followed it, she would be able to dig up even more gold. It wasn't blind optimism, but her experience so far had shown her this. The vein was gradually becoming thicker and more solid. If it was a large gold vein, it would bring profit to Fiona's homeland, the kingdom. With that hope, she gradually advanced deeper into the cave, relying on the light of her unreliable lantern. Fiona then reached a space that was gaping open within the cave. It was large and high enough... and for some reason, it even felt strangely bright. This circular, wide, flat, smooth space didn't seem like it could have been naturally formed. Could it be the remains of someone digging up all the gold? If that's the case, then I've wasted my time... When I entered the circular space to take a closer look, I noticed that there were several paths leading into it. The fact that someone else had entered from another path made me understand, whether I liked it or not. And there were three other people besides myself. In other words, four people had entered this space from different directions at almost the same time. An unusual sense of tension took hold of the four of us. Have I just walked into someone else's territory without knowing it? Or have the four of us, who didn't know it was a cave that had been abandoned, all found it at the same time...? What crosses my mind is the evidence of the gold vein I saw on the wall on the way here. Even the part I could see was worth something. It may be a relative value, but it may have been thought to be inefficient to dig for it in the past, but now it would be a shame to abandon that gold vein. I want to make it all the kingdom's property. Fiona, with such thoughts, reached for the handle of her knife without thinking. “Who are you?”, ‘Who are you?’, ‘Back off!’, ”Why don't you introduce yourselves?!” Each of the four threatened the others. As you might expect, all four of them faced each other with a strong sense of caution. From the words and atmosphere of the other three, it was clear that everyone except Fiona was not a citizen of the kingdom. Fiona: “My name is Fiona! This cave belongs to the kingdom.” The words were met with a torrent of rebuttals. Teresa: “No, this cave belongs to the Empire. I, Teresa, found it!” Darya: ‘No, this cave belongs to the Federation. I, Darya, found it!” Nadeshiko: ’I, Nadeshiko, found this cave, and I won't let you take it away. This cave belongs to the Imperial Nation.” The four of them showed no sign of backing down, and the four of them belonged to different countries. In this era, the concept of country and the sense of belonging were quite strong. It could be said that this was an era when countries treated those who contributed to them well. For that reason, the four of them, the four countries, saw each other as a threat. It was not something that could be pushed away any further. If that's the case, is there no choice but to fight? Fiona's expression becomes one of disgust. If it's one-on-one, I don't think I'll lose to these guys. However, if it's multiple battles of one-on-one-on-one-on-one, and all the opponents are enemies, the situation looks very bad. It's difficult to predict how things will turn out. It seems that this thought is common to all four parties, and they can't bring themselves to draw their knives. It seems that the four of them are not reckless and thoughtless, as I am. This is getting more and more troublesome. Fiona's hands holding the knife are sweating. Even though there is no movement, just from glaring at each other, it is as if a considerable battle is being waged mentally. Not just Fiona, but also Theresa, Darya and Nadeshiko, sweat beads appeared on the foreheads of all four of them, and their breathing became slightly shallow and rough. They were waiting for the moment when someone would make a mistake, but there was no way that the three of them other than themselves would show a mistake at the same time. Even if we just keep glaring at each other like this, it will be a remarkable performance. If we keep doing this, we'll use up all our energy. There's no other choice. Fiona drew her knife and ran into the middle of the four of them. She set her sights on Teresa, who was next to her, but she also had to be careful not to be attacked by Darya or Nadeshiko. However, Fiona wasn't the only one who moved. At exactly the same time, the four of them all ran at once and attacked each other. The four of them all concentrated on the center of the space at once and attacked each other with their knives. Theresa just managed to dodge Fiona's knife, and with the momentum of that, she aimed at Darya. Darya parries Teresa's knife, and this time it is Nadeshiko who is targeted by Darya. Nadeshiko steps in as if to ram her body into Darya, and gets inside the stabbing range of the knife. Nadeshiko then swings her knife at Fiona, but Fiona quickly escapes. There are too many enemies...! Everyone is in a state of confusion. There are too many people to attack and too many people who might attack us, so we can't focus on each one of them. Whether we're attacking or defending, we can't concentrate, we can't react quickly enough, and we don't have the stamina. This can't go on like this, I thought. Fiona: “Gua...?” Theresa: ‘Ugu...?” Darya: ’Igi...?” Nadeshiko: ”Nnoh...?” Fiona felt something soft pierce her hand. She had finally stabbed her. That's what she thought, but at that moment, a searing pain welled up from her own stomach. Fiona's knife had certainly pierced Teresa's stomach. But at that moment, Nadeshiko's knife was also sticking out of Fiona's stomach. And while being stabbed by Fiona, Teresa stabbed Darya, and while being stabbed by Teresa, Darya was pointing her knife at Nadeshiko. Fiona: “Huh? Is that all you've got?” Fiona says, as if to provoke them, even though she has cold sweat on her forehead. Fiona is still being strong, but blood is dripping from her stomach, which is throbbing. Even if she is pretending to be strong, the wound is not shallow. Theresa: “Yeah, it's still shallow.” Darya: ‘Hmph, this is nothing...” Nadeshiko: ’Hmph, it doesn't work.” All four of them are putting on a brave front, but there is a hint of impatience in their expressions. And as they continue to feign bravado, the four of them move a step closer to each other and plunge their knives deeper into each other. Fiona, Teresa, Darya and Nadeshiko: “Guh, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu The amount of blood pouring out of their stomachs increases. A bright red puddle forms at their feet. It could be said to be proof that the lives of the four of them have flowed out. At first, the four of them had an air of composure, but now they are beginning to feel the pressure. The wounds are deep. They need to be treated quickly. But how can they be treated in this situation? Should they retreat? That's out of the question. If they retreat, they will be pursued. If I could overpower the other three by myself, I wouldn't have to worry about things like this... It's frustrating, but these enemies have their own abilities. The four of them simultaneously pulled out their knives and took a step back. A gush of blood spurted out, enlarging the original pool of blood. The four of them, whose complexions were becoming pale, were on guard against each other, when they noticed something strange. The bleeding had stopped and the pain was starting to subside. If you look at the bellies of the other three, you can see that the bleeding has indeed stopped. I hurriedly check my own belly, and the wound has indeed closed up. I haven't treated it. And yet, to recover completely like this... Even if I did treat it, it's impossible for the wound to close up at such a speed. What is this...? No, I don't know how it works, but if I've recovered, I've got to get rid of the other three while I can. Thinking this, Fiona, the brilliant explorer, once again steps in and turns her blade on the other explorers. Perhaps instinctively hating being attacked in the stomach like before, all four of them seemed to be aiming for a place with a little more space between them. Although they were not actually attacked in the stomach, their arms were cut several times. However, the wounds on their arms healed in no time, and it became impossible to tell where the wounds had been. At this point, the four of them finally realized the abnormality of this space, the cave. Such an abnormal recovery is beyond the realm of one's own recovery power or medicine. It was thought to be completely in the realm of “magic”. Considering the reactions of the other three, there was no magician here. If that is the case, it would be reasonable to think that the magic was cast on “this space” itself. If you think about it that way, it makes sense that the four people's wounds are healing at the same speed. However, even if you can imagine how it works, the situation is still difficult. Even if you attack to drive them back, they heal in an instant. And it's hard to imagine a situation where you would just hand over a “healing cave” that is worth as much as a gold vein to another country. Fiona: “A stalemate...!” It can certainly be called a stalemate. There is no way out of this situation other than defeat... immediate death or giving up on this cave. On the other hand, the four of them are human, so they need to eat and drink, and they need to sleep. They can't just keep going forever. The four of them had fallen into an inescapable dilemma. However, time is not on their side if they keep worrying. If their bodies are recovering thanks to the magic of the cave, there is no way they can keep going. If that's the case, they need to take a single decisive blow to defeat their enemy. Fiona made up her mind. Fiona: “Aaaaaahhhhh!” She raised her voice to give herself courage, and as she charged in, the other three were frightened, but instead of backing off, they charged in as if repelled. The four of them charged in again. In this melee, unless they were extremely unlucky, one of them would be killed. With that expectation, Fiona charged in. And at last, Fiona's knife caught Teresa in the stomach. Rather than going straight in, she shifted it slightly to the side, and then swung the knife through to the other side in one go. Teresa: “GIIIIIYYYY!!!” A soft sensation was transmitted to Fiona's hand. It was disgusting. But at the same time, it was a blow that gave her the confidence that she had inflicted a deep wound. I'll pull out the knife and rip it lengthwise this time. Fiona, who was about to do that, however, would writhe in terrible pain. No, it wasn't just Fiona. The other... Nadeshiko and Darya were also screaming. Fiona, Darya, and Nadeshiko: “Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Just how far will they imitate it? Fiona's fighting style had been adopted by Teresa, Darya, and Nadeshiko. The four of them had cut each other's stomachs horizontally. The pain of having one's own stomach cut is terrible. However, there would be no point in retreating now. Before they knew it, they had dropped their knives. A large amount of blood poured out of the four people's stomachs. Even if it was a magic spell from the cave, there was a limit to how fast they could recover. The attack had exceeded that recovery speed... The four people, who had been wounded so deeply that they would normally have died, lost consciousness there. Their legs gave out and they collapsed on the spot, leaning on each other as they fainted. Normally, such a deep wound would be fatal if not treated immediately. The magic of the cave took care of the “immediate treatment” part. The floor glowed and the four of them began to recover. However, the recovery was far from what the four of them had imagined. Fiona managed to regain consciousness. Oh, I'm not dead. I'm saved. As she thought these things, she tried to add strength to her body, but she felt another force pulling her in a different direction. A strange sensation, as if her body - no, her stomach - was being pulled. Come to think of it, it was her stomach that had been seriously injured. What had happened to it? Fiona looked at her own stomach to check, but she couldn't understand the situation. That's impossible. That's horrible. Fiona Teresa Darya Nadeshiko “Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa The places where Fiona's wound was, the places where Teresa's wound was, the places where Darya's wound was, and the places where Nadeshiko's wound was all overlapped and adhered to each other. At the moment the wound closed, the wounds of each other must have been pushed together. In that state, the magic of the cave healed the four of them. Fiona, Teresa, Darya, and Nadeshiko: “What, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, If I put all my strength into it, I might be able to tear my own ear off, but I'm too scared to try... that's how it felt. However, there was no way they could stay like this forever. The situation where their stomachs were fused with each other's, and if this fusion were to progress any further, they would lose their sanity. Because of this fear, the four of them were constantly glancing at each other warily. Fiona Simmons is an adventurer dispatched from the kingdom. She has fair skin, attractive chestnut-colored wavy hair, and striking dark brown eyes. What draws the most attention, however, is her ample breasts. Her right G-cup breasts are touching the breasts of the Empire person. Therese Butner is an adventurer dispatched from the Empire. She has pure white skin and long, straight blonde hair, and her striking blue eyes are very attractive. And the thing that catches the eye the most is her ample breasts. The right side of her G-cup breasts are touching the breasts of a Federation citizen. Darya Zelyanskaya is an adventurer sent by the Federation. She has pure white skin, long wavy silver hair, and striking green eyes. And the most eye-catching thing is her ample breasts. Her right G-cup breasts are touching the breasts of the Imperialists. Nadeshiko Asakura is an adventurer dispatched from the Empire. She has white skin and long, straight black hair, and her bright red eyes are very attractive. And the thing that catches the eye the most is her ample breasts. Her right breast, which is probably a G-cup, is touching the breast of the Kingdom person. If there was even one person with a small build, they might have concentrated their attacks on that person and killed them, separating them from the group. However, the four people's builds were similar and they were evenly matched. So what should they do...? However, before the four people could think of a way out, things had already progressed. The four people's bodies were gradually approaching each other. The four of them didn't intentionally move their bodies closer together. They were just sitting there, with their arms around the person next to them, but they didn't think they were moving from where they were sitting. However, they clearly felt their hips moving. Fiona: “No way...!” The four of them turned pale. Even though they weren't moving themselves, their bodies were approaching each other as if they were being drawn to each other. This meant that the parts that had fused were being drawn to each other. The wounds that had fused were being drawn to each other as if they were eating each other.
