“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.


    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.
