The quest-specific field for "Defeat the Lustful Orcs" was the Southern Swamp Region. As Shiori stepped inside, she immediately sensed the field’s characteristics through her feet.

"This ground is really muddy... I have to be careful..."

The defining feature of the Southern Swamp Region was that, like the Southern Flooded Forest she had just been in, the entire field was submerged in water with trees growing everywhere. One key difference was that the ground wasn’t hard—it was soft marshland. As soon as she stepped in, her feet sank slightly into the mud.

Shiori made a slightly displeased face at the muddy sensation, but once she accepted it, she turned her gaze forward.

"Well then... let’s think about the quest for now. As for how to proceed... first of all, it looks like it’ll be difficult to move intensely in this field. Rather, it’s impossible. So let’s fight with long-range equipment."

When she tried to run, putting her full strength into it caused her feet to sink deep into the muddy ground, hindering her movement. Realizing that she couldn’t possibly fight while wielding a rapier in this state, Shiori opened the menu and changed her equipment from her swimsuit and rapier to an archer shrine maiden outfit and a normal bow.

Now wearing only a white top that covered her chest and a super-short skirt—a more revealing outfit than her swimsuit—she slowly began to move forward.

"...That is..."

After moving forward for a short while, a monster came into Shiori’s line of sight.

"Boom... Boom..."

"That’s... the ’Lustful Mud Orc’..."

Its appearance was similar to the "Lustful Poison Orc," with a body about two meters tall wearing a loincloth. However, the difference was that its body was made of solidified pink "mud." The name displayed above the monster’s head was "Lustful Mud Orc Lv41." This was the monster that appeared in this quest.

"Well, in a way... he seems like a formidable opponent in many senses..."

"Bumomo... Bumomo, bumoo..."

The Mud Orc leaned against a tree, lost in thought, pink mud dripping from all over its body. Hiding in the gaps between the trees, Shiori observed it from a distance of about twenty meters and began considering its abilities.

"Considering the Lustful Poison Orc, it seems reasonable to assume that the Lustful Mud Orc also possesses similar aphrodisiac abilities. I certainly don’t intend to lose to the first opponent right away, so let’s go ahead and defeat them."

Considering the possibility that even approaching could be dangerous, Shiori raised her bow and gently aimed.

"...Hmph!"

She carefully and deliberately took aim... and then fired. The released arrow flew straight toward the Lustful Orc.

"Buh...?!"

It successfully struck the Lustful Mud Orc right in the shoulder. With that single blow, the mud that made up its body burst open. The Mud Orc cried out in surprise as it stood up.

"Hmph...!"

"Bum, bum!? Bum!? Bum, bum!?"

It didn’t fall from that blow. This seemed to be within her expectations, as Shiori showed no particular surprise and continued firing arrows. The Mud Orc was hit again and again, powerless to do anything as the mud flew from its body with each impact.

"Let...!"

"Bumomo... Bumoo..."

Then came the third shot. Perhaps because she had struck it in the neck, the Mud Orc slowly collapsed to the ground, its muddy body dissolving.

"...Phew. We managed to defeat it without any trouble."

The display floating above its head also disappeared. After confirming that she had successfully defeated the enemy, Shiori lowered her bow and let out a sigh of relief. However, she seemed to notice something, as she continued gazing at the ground where the Lustful Mud Orc had vanished.

"...I wonder what would happen if I touched that pink mud... How much of an aphrodisiac effect does it have...? ♡"

What she was looking at was the pink mud that had made up the Lustful Mud Orc’s body. Shiori spoke slowly as she watched it dissolve into the water covering the ground.

"But... it’s the same mud that made up the body of the Lustful Mud Orc, which has the same character ’lust’ in its name as the Lustful Poison Orc... It seems dangerous to try touching it. For now, let’s just leave it alone."

Caution seemed to have outweighed curiosity. Shiori did not approach but continued standing there, watching as it melted away. After a minute or two, she nodded, seeing that the pink mud had completely dissolved into the water, leaving no trace.

"Okay... then let’s move on."

After saying that, Shiori started walking again. She moved forward a little farther, and the Lustful Mud Orc came into her sight once more.

"Bumomo, bumoo..."

"Here he is again..."

The figure of the Lustful Mud Orc was visible through the gaps in the overgrown trees about twenty meters away. Seeing that there were no other creatures around and it was wandering alone, Shiori nodded and quietly raised her bow.

"It looks like there’s only one... so let’s take this one down too."

"Bumoo..."

The Lustful Mud Orc appeared dazed and unaware of Shiori’s presence. Watching it from a distance, Shiori carefully took aim... and fired.

"Boom...!? Boom, boom!"

"It missed...! But...!"

The arrow flew straight, but the Lustful Mud Orc moved just before it hit, so the shot only grazed its shoulder. But a hit was a hit. The impact seemed to alert the Lustful Mud Orc to Shiori’s presence, and it cried out as it turned its body toward her and charged.

"Huh...!? It’s fast...!?"

"Bum! Bumoooo!"

Using its muddy body to its advantage, it ran straight through the gaps between the trees. The way it ran, seemingly oblivious to being in a swamp, was surprisingly fast, much to Shiori’s surprise. But she quickly recovered, readjusted her stance, and fired again.

"Boom! Boom, boom!"

"Ah... this...!"

However, perhaps her aim was off. This latest blow only grazed its shoulder. As the arrow grazed it, sending mud splattering from its shoulder, the Lustful Mud Orc cried out and closed the distance, staring straight at Shiori. The remaining distance was less than ten meters. Shiori almost panicked as the lustful face made of mud became clearly visible, but she calmed herself down and carefully released another arrow.

"E-Earth!?"

"Okay...!"

This time, the arrow successfully struck the Lustful Orc’s neck. That single blow, which flicked the mud from its neck, seemed to be decisive. The Mud Orc stopped moving, and its body began to melt, losing its shape.

Seeing this, Shiori nodded. But then—

When Shiori shot the head off the Mud Orc, the mud splattered onto her exposed skin, such as her upper arms and thighs.

"M-Mud... Ah, h-ah, aaahhh...!? ♡ H-ah, aaahhh...!? ♡"

At that moment, a wave of intense pleasure—so hot it felt like her body was melting—began to run through her from the spots where the mud had landed. Overwhelmed by the intense pleasure, Shiori let out a sweet cry, her body trembling violently.

"Aaaah!? ♡ Ah, ah, aaah...!? ♡ Aaah, aaah, ah, nhaaah!? ♡ Aaah, hee, aaahhh!!? ♡"

"W-what is this...!? ♡ What is this...!? ♡ It’s, it’s too amazing!!? ♡"

Intense pleasure coursed through her upper arms and thighs. Overwhelmed by the intensity, Shiori knelt down in the swamp. She squeezed her thighs together, hugged her own body with both hands, and writhed in pleasure as she came from the sheer force of it.

"Ahhh! ♡ Haha, ah, ah, ahhhh!! ♡ Aha, hafu, nhaaaah! ♡ Haaah, hyaaaaah!! ♡"

A thick, honeyed fluid seeped from her pussy. Her body trembled uncontrollably as intense waves of pleasure ran through her. With a sweet moan, Shiori climaxed.

"Aaaahhhhhhh...! ♡ Ah, haaaahhhhh...! ♡ Hya, hiii, hihaaaaaa...! ♡"

A few minutes later—perhaps it was fortunate that only a very small amount had splattered on her body—the intense pleasure that had been overwhelming Shiori finally began to subside. However, she still couldn’t move immediately. Shiori knelt, her thighs pressed tightly together, hugging herself with both hands, and continued to exhale shallowly.

"Mmm, haaa, haaa... ♡"

A few more minutes passed. Shiori finally seemed to have calmed down, and she slowly stood up, albeit unsteadily. As she rose, the honey-like fluid that had seeped from her panties began to drip down her thighs—a testament to the intensity of the continuous orgasms she had just experienced.

"...This is the aphrodisiac of the Lustful Mud Orc... This is amazing... ♡ If you get caught or splashed with it... you won’t be able to do anything... ♡"

Only two or three drops had splattered onto her body. That was all it took, yet it had instantly aroused her body and produced such intense pleasure that she came. Upon learning this fact, Shiori slowly began to speak, taking a deep breath.

"Lustful Mud Orc... This is quite an incredible monster, isn’t it... ♡ Haaah, haaah, ah, aaaah... ♡"

A pink mud possessing an aphrodisiac effect so powerful it rivaled that of the Lustful Poison Orc. The monster that solidified from that mud was the Lustful Mud Orc. Shiori’s face flushed with fear at the monster’s threat—yet she still managed a smile.
