“Aiiiii!”

“This guy is fast!” Sapphire cried.

“Isn’t that because you’re not looking at him?”

“Ahhh! Stay away!” Terra created walls keeping him away from her. “Nooo! He got them again. Pervert!”

I studied the boss monster, feeling incredibly complicated. He was fast and very difficult to handle, but that was a different problem entirely. His identification was merely an Apeman. He had a hairy body with two arms and two legs and no tail. His face was that of a monkey. He could jump around and swing from the vines hanging over the top of the boss room, and also come down for a strike. His strikes were swift and brutal, and he already fled by the time you could react.

From the moment we had opened up his door and entered his lair, he had been toying with us. I’d like to say there was a warning that the boss of this area was an apeman, but the enemies we had been leveling up against before this point had mostly been snakes, bats, and carnivorous plants. The Apeman seemed to be the first mammal I had encountered that was considered living.

If his speed and ingenuity were the problem, that would be one thing. The real problem was that other than being extremely hair and having a monkey face, his body was very human. That was to say that he was naked, and he had his thing hanging out. Whenever he jumped up, it would swing around. It wasn’t big or anything, but it was enough of a distraction that the girls couldn’t mount a defense against him.

In the heat of the moment, maybe they would have been able to ignore the thing, but when he got onto one of his fines, he would touch it, making sure to show it to the girls. With a perverted monkey grin, he would stand over us touching it, and when the girls looked away in embarrassment, he would make his move. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the worst part. The worst part was ultimately how he attacked the girls.

Terra looked at me tearfully. “He got my panties again!”

Looking up at the Apeman, he made that same perverted grin, but this time he lifted a small pair of pink panties. I had naturally bought a lot of girl’s clothing on my last trip to Earth and had many spare changes with me in my soul world, so those were fine panties I had specifically given to Terra since our escape from Twilight. They were now being sniffed by a drooling monkey man.

“He also took my bra!” Sapphire added.

“Y-yeah! I also wore a bra!” Terra shouted awkwardly.

We both glanced at Terra, whose face went red, and then up at the Apeman on the ceiling, who gave a confused shrug, and then put then strapped Sapphire’s bra onto his chest while rubbing Terra’s panties against his face.

“This guy must be a level 100 Pervert!” Sapphire huffed.

Was it a problem I felt a little jealous I was only a level 32 Pervert? No, wait! That was the answer. I needed to tame this monkey, but right now he was completely mocking me. For a monster that valued strength, you needed to use strength to tame them, but I learned from the former Sapphire, that monsters could be tamed by appealing to other parts of them, such as when I bribed her with candy. In this case, I’d have to take drastic measures.

“Master?” Terra asked.

“Bear with me…” I declared, putting my game face on. “I’m going to need to fight fire with fire.”

I equipped Pervert.
