Kazuya lay flat on the deck, emotionally, physically, and spiritually exhausted.
Sylvara loomed over him, arms crossed, tail flicking aggressively.
"So…" she said, voice dangerously calm. "Mind explaining how you ended up in bed with her?"
Kazuya's soul screamed.
"IT WAS A TRAP," he blurted out. "A VERY SOFT AND WARM TRAP."
Sylvara cracked her knuckles. "Oh? A trap? And you just fell right into it?"
Bradimus placed a hand on Kazuya's shoulder. "Brother, I will pray for you."
Celestia flipped through her book. "Hmm. According to this, you might already be married under MILF Mountain law."
Kazuya choked on air. "WH—EXCUSE ME?!"
Bradimus gasped. "A MILF WIFE?!"
Sylvara's eye twitched violently.
Celestia shrugged. "It's possible. The Mountain operates on ancient traditions. If Lady Ravynne claims him, there might be a contract."
Kazuya's entire life flashed before his eyes.
Sylvara leaned in close.
"…Kazuya."
"Yes, babe?"
"Do you want to die?"
Kazuya shook his head so fast his brain nearly disconnected.
"NOPE. I WANT TO LIVE."
Sylvara sighed. "Good. Then we destroy that contract."
Celestia turned the page. "Oh, but you can't."
Everyone stared at her.
Kazuya gulped. "W-Why?"
Celestia adjusted her glasses.
"The only way to **break a MILF Mountain contract… is to return and formally challenge Lady Ravynne."
Silence.
Sylvara: 🔥🔥🔥
Bradimus: 😳🙏
Kazuya: "NOPE. NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT. NEVER AGAIN. NUH-UH."
Bradimus sighed. "Then you'll just have to accept your MILF fate."
Sylvara slammed her fist against the ship's railing. "LIKE HELL HE WILL."
Celestia smirked. "Then we're going back."
Kazuya collapsed.
"I hate my life."
THE RETURN TO MILF MOUNTAIN – AGAINST KAZUYA'S WILL
By sunset, they were back.
The towering peaks of MILF Mountain loomed like a beautiful yet horrifying mirage.
Kazuya clutched his head. "I AM HAVING A SEVERE CASE OF DEJA VU."
Bradimus patted his back. "Stay strong, brother. Temptation lurks behind every corner."
Sylvara grabbed Kazuya's hand. "No hesitation. We go in, challenge Ravynne, and leave."
Kazuya nodded. "FAST. NO DETOURS."
Celestia rolled her eyes. "Sure, sure. Like that ever works."
INSIDE THE CASTLE – WELCOME BACK, KAZUYA~
The moment they stepped inside, Lady Ravynne was already waiting.
Draped in a silk robe. Holding a wine glass.
Smirking.
"Oh my, Kazuya~ You came back so soon."
Kazuya pointed at her. "DON'T EVEN START."
Lady Ravynne sighed dramatically. "Such a shame. I was hoping to discuss… our wedding plans."
Kazuya screamed internally.
Sylvara drew her sword. "The only thing happening today is a CHALLENGE."
Lady Ravynne raised an eyebrow. "Oh? You wish to claim him?"
Sylvara's face turned red. "I—IT'S NOT LIKE THAT—"
Celestia whispered, "It is absolutely like that."
Kazuya grabbed Sylvara's hand. "YES. IT IS LIKE THAT."
Lady Ravynne grinned. "Very well. If you wish to challenge me… then prepare for THE FINAL MILF TRIAL."
Kazuya paled. "There's a final trial?!"
Lady Ravynne snapped her fingers.
The doors opened dramatically.
Out stepped three more MILFs.
Tall. Gorgeous. Dangerous.
General Helena cracked her knuckles.
Madam Evangeline adjusted her glasses.
Lady Belladonna licked her lips.
"Oh dear," Belladonna purred. "This is going to be fun."
KAZUYA WANTED TO DIE.
