Juicy and Samarnia called out to her, and she finally woke up.
"Heheheheh, helloooo~ Poco is Ennea!"
She introduced herself with a slightly bashful air.
Black hair in a shaggy wolf cut streaked with silver, and chestnut eyes.
Tanuki ears of the same color, and a striped tanuki tail.
Her neat features looked like Shesh's and Syu's — probably because they were sisters.
Her outfit bore absolutely nothing in common with what you'd expect of a duke's daughter.
Just a fur-lined jacket and a deeply slit loincloth — the full extent of her attire.
But that wasn't what was worth noting.
Huge.
I recall hearing somewhere in my past life that "huge" is synonymous with awe.
That couldn't be more right.
Many women. Mineha. The witch. Arifa. Megadia.
Maikahori. Anstanshiru.
They were all big. Sure, they were big.
But not *huge*.
Let me say it again.
Huge is awe.
Her height was nothing special. Average for a woman, I'd say.
That was exactly what made it so overwhelming.
How was I supposed to properly convey that size?
Many women. Mineha. The witch. Arifa. Megadia.
Maikahori. Anstanshiru.
They all had big breasts. That was fine. More than fine.
But did Ennea just have big breasts? No. She was beyond that.
Calling them breasts felt like an understatement.
Large, thick, heavy, yet soft—and somehow rough around the edges.
They were essentially a mass of breast. Beyond mere "huge." They were explosively enormous.
"Huge! Her boobs are huge!"
Leave it to a twenty-four-year-old kid to say what no one else could.
And she was standing right up in front of Ennea, staring straight at them.
How enviable.
"Hehehehe, I get that a lot."
"Can I touch them?"
Seriously?
"Hey, cut it out. Come on."
"But I want to touch them!"
"I get that, but no."
Mineha stopped Narshesis.
That's mom for you.
"Well, I don't really mind, though?"
"You're okay with that!?"
"It's not like it'll go away, right?"
That was technically true.
"Um, um, um, Sister Ennea..."
"Sister. Stop it. It's embarrassing."
"Hehehe, sorry about that."
She didn't seem like a bad person. Plus, she had huge boobs.
"H-Hi. I'm Wof."
"Wof? Ohh, so you're him! Nice to meee~t you — I'm Ennea-Tasan. I've just been appointed as the Guild Master of the Heisen Delvers' Guild."
She shook my hand with a bright smile.
"N-Nice to meet you too. I was the one who created this dungeon."
"I've heard all about it. Apparently you built something really amazing."
"Well, that's what people tell me."
"I can't wait to see what kind of dungeon it is!"
"Boobs. You. What's your rank?"
Narshesis was trying to one-up her.
"Second class, I believe."
"I win! I'm first class!"
"Oh dear~ I lost~"
Ennea. She has a warm, heartwarming smile on her face.
"Narshesis."
"Oh my, as expected, that purple hair... It's my first time seeing it up close."
O-oh. It jiggled.
Actually, ever since a while ago, it had been jiggling with every word she spoke, swaying with every breath.
"Hmm, hmmm... What is this feeling of defeat."
Narshesis. She compares her own chest against the other.
She's not on the small side by any means, but there's no winning against *that*.
"Sigh, honestly. Mineha."
"Nice to meet you~"
Mineha shakes hands with Ennea.
"Impressed you actually took the deal under those conditions."
"Hehehehehe~! Because the terms were lovely~"
"In what way? To be blunt, you're just a decoration."
"Honestly, I didn't think anyone would actually show up under those conditions. Oh, I should introduce myself — I'm Isivala. This body may not look like much, but I am the will of Heizen's dungeon."
"Please treat me well~ I've heard all about that sort of thing~"
"Then why did you come? We're happy about it, but—"
"Hmm~ Well, first of all, I've been thinking about retiring from being a delver soon~"
"Retiring... from being a delver?"
I see. Becoming Guild Master means you can't be a delver anymore.
It feels like a waste, reaching the Second Rank only to quit.
Well, I'm not aiming for First Rank myself, so I won't say it out loud, but still — it's a waste.
"Because you can't reach First Rank?"
Narcissus-san. Stop smirking.
"No noo, it's for the sake of sleeptime, dearr."
"Sleep time?"
"Ahem, ahem — big sister Ennea is actually a powerhouse who has turned down the First Rank request multiple times because it was too much of a hassle!"
"Really. Tch."
So that's how it was. And Narcissus-san, stop clicking your tongue in frustration like that.
"Why did you turn it down?"
At Mineha's question, Ennea scratched her cheek.
"That's because I'd rather be sleeping, dearr."
"Th-that's your reason?"
"Heheheheh! I just loove sleeping, you see."
Come to think of it, when she arrived, she was sprawled out asleep right on the road.
"Ahem, ahem — big sister Ennea sleeps pretty much all the time! Over twenty-two hours a day!"
Twenty-two hours!?
She's basically never awake.
"That's not sleeping too much?"
"You sleep too much!"
"Can people really sleep that much?"
"Actuawwy, I'm awweady weally sweepy..."
"Wha...?"
"Um, um, the weason Lady Ennea awways tawks in that dweamy way is because she's half-asleep in weawity."
Half-asleep... wait, no way.
"Did you take the job because you wanted to be a decorative piece?"
The conditions the witch drafted and Seiran polished off.
'One: Entrust only the management of Heizen's dungeon.'
'Two: Direct intervention in or participation in Heizen's politics, commerce, and the like is prohibited.'
'Three: Any and all interference with Heizen's Delvers' Guild is forbidden.'
'Four: The vice-guild master of Heizen's Delvers' Guild must absolutely be a black spider woman named Isibara. Furthermore, no inquiry whatsoever into her background is permitted. And the right to dismiss her is permanently waived.'
No matter how you looked at it, these were conditions designed to make the guild master a decorative piece.
Which meant this was a freeloader's dream setup!
"Hehehehehe, that's wight! If I'm a decoration, I can sweep!"
"F-fow that weason!?"
"So anyway~ Poko has weached her wimit~ Good night~...zzz"
She fell asleep!?
She actually lay down and fell asleep, just like that.
"...She fell asleep, didn't she."
"Those breasts. They're outrageous."
They really were outrageous, that much was certain.
Wait, was "Poko" her first-person pronoun?
Seiran's first-person pronoun was "Pon," if I recalled correctly.
Ah, that was because she was a tanuki-kin. The witch was a fox-kin, so she used "Kon," and that made sense.
But what about "Poko" as a first-person pronoun?
Tanuki did say "ponpoko"... or wait, was it precisely because they said "ponpoko"?
Well, honestly, I'd always had my doubts about "Kon" and "Pon" as first-person pronouns.
But I'd accepted it, because foxes and tanuki were just like that.
"Poko" was... if anything, more of a sentence ending, wasn't it?
Come to think of it, "Kon" and "Pon" were pretty much the same.
The witch's sentence ending... "Kon," huh.
"Hey hey, young Wof. I want to eat tempura, kon."
Yeah. There was something to this, actually.
"Um, um, um, excuse me—"
"I'm sorry. For having such a sister."
Samaniya and Jushii apologized, looking thoroughly embarrassed.
Having a relative who acted like this really was mortifying.
"Mnya~... I can't eat anymore... ZZZZZZZzzzzzz..."
She mumbled those cliché sleep-talk words and drifted off, looking perfectly happy.
When she turns over, her enormous breasts swing with bold, spectacular force.
Wow. Quite the show.
I could charge money for this.
No wait — what am I supposed to do about this?
Isibara is standing there, dumbfounded.
"…………"
"Um, well, I think she'd make a nice display piece."
"……"
"You know, tanuki statues are big, so…"
I try to smooth things over without really understanding what I'm saying.
But in reality, tanuki statues really are big.
Not that they're big for any particular reason — it's just that the big ones happen to be tanuki statues.
"...Wof. I have a favor to ask."
"What is it?"
"I want a human body."
"Huh?"
"This body won't do. I need to fix myself properly. That's why I want a human body."
"...Hmm."
A human, huh.
