Every hero has their own quirks…
In a low-to-mid-tier dungeon near Nascatel Village, at a rocky mountain pass in the forest with no way forward, few adventurers bother coming here. The monster loot is bulky, heavy, low-value, and the EXP is measly. The trip's not worth it, especially with the sheer number of monsters. But for adventurers with [Item Box]? No biggie.
A swarm of Boaruck—creatures like four-legged duck-pig hybrids with wide wings and rock-hard feathers—charged in, surrounding five young women fighting back-to-back with everything they've got.
"Double up on that power, Riria! Angel's Bless Stack 2!!"
VWOOM!!!
"This buff always feels amazing! Thanks, Rena!! YAAAH!!!"
"No prob, cutie~~!"
CHOP!! SLASH!!!
"KWOOOOCK!!!"
A blonde, shoulder-length-haired, fair-skinned half-tiger girl—not too bulky but visibly toned—wielded a massive poleaxe. The stacked buff cranked her strength way up, letting her cleave through the Boaruck in front.
"KWOOOOCK!!!"
"Dammit, I'm out of arrows! Switching to sword—oh crap, it's attacking! Rena!!"
"Don't worry, Helen~~ Angel's Protect Us All!"
VWOOM!!! CLANG!!!!
"W-Wow, thanks, Rena!"
"No prob, sweetie~~!"
A blue-haired girl with a long ponytail, slender frame, slight abs, and a modest chest, sporting kobold ears and a tail, used a huge, powerful bow. Out of arrows and nearly hit, she was saved by a perfect barrier, giving her time to draw a sword and counterattack.
"There's so many! Rena, my MP's drained!"
"Got you, Moira! Angel's Pool!!!"
VWOOM!!! ZING ZING ZING!
"Whoa, awesome!!! This is nuts!! MP's flowing back! Here we go—Ice Spike!"
CRACK CRACK CRACK!!!
"KWOOOOCK!!!"
"No prob, darling~~!"
A black-haired, black-cat-eared girl with a delicate frame but notably large breasts, dressed in a black mage outfit with a small wand, stood over a glowing blue pool at her feet. Her MP surged, letting her cast support spells for her team again.
CLANG!!! CRUNCH!! SLASH!! SPLURT!!
"KWOOOOCK!!!"
"Huff… YAAAH!!!"
CLANG!! SLASH!!!
"Looking tired, Pippi! Let's fix that! Angel's Recovery!!!"
VWOOM~~~
"T-Thanks, Rena!"
"No prob, cutie-pie~~!"
A short, youthful-looking girl with pointed ears (not too long) and a cute face, half-dwarf but surprisingly muscular, swung a giant axe bigger than herself. She fended off close-range Boaruck to protect the others, and though exhausted, the recovery spell restored her stamina to full.
Despite being low-level monsters, the Boaruck's numbers could overwhelm even a high-level party. But this group plowed through thanks to the centerpiece: Rena (no relation to Jena, Fena, or Tena, by the way).
The only human in the party, Rena had long, flowing white hair, a flawless face, perfectly proportioned curves, and stood tall in a pristine white priestess outfit. Her massive white staff, topped with a giant pearl, screamed holy vibes. She was a white mage-priestess with support skills far beyond normal. Every skill she cast came with an Angel's prefix, boosting their effectiveness to absurd levels. It turned this lopsided fight into a breeze.

"We did it, everyone! Thanks a ton, Rena!"
"Yeah, we owe it all to you!"
"Thank you so much, Rena!!!"
"Tch… thanks, Rena."
"Phew, I'm beat~~ Sorry, you four, lemme recharge a bit, 'kay~~?"
Amid the cheers and gratitude, Rena—looking like a saintly goddess—flashed a very familiar pervy grin. She dove face-first into Riria's ample chest, her left hand squeezing Helen's breast, her right hand groping Moira's.
Squish! Squeeze! Smoosh!
Thwap! Smack! Thwap! Smack!
She took a deep, deep breath, savoring the sweaty scent of the girls fresh from battle.
"Mmm… Riria, you smell divine!"
"Uh, t-thanks… I guess? But I'm all sweaty, it's not that nice…"
"R-Rena, it's fine, but… ouch, you're squeezing too hard! Honestly, if you told me you were a guy, I wouldn't be shocked."
"But Rena needs this to recharge, right? No choice! Oof… not so hard, and don't flick there!!!"
Yup, that's Rena, the hero. A stunning beauty who seems harmless on the outside but is an absolute perv. Back in her old world… well, let's just say she was a he. You can probably piece the rest together, right?
"Next, lemme snuggle Helen's chest~~!"
"W-Wait, what?!"
Thwap! Smack!
Why do so many heroes lately end up like this? Because it's these types I've been saving to talk about later! Oh, and guess which of the four girls in this party is me? Take a wild guess!
