It seemed that everything was going to remain peaceful and quiet after the founding of Friedonia, after the Kingdom of Elfrieden annexed the Principality of Amidonia under the command of Kazuya, an ordinary man who was abducted from another world and summoned as hero against the expansion of the Demon King Domains and who was given the crown of Elfrieden. However, there is something in particular that caught Kazuya's interest in a special way, discovering thanks to the kingdom's scientists that under Elfrieden there are large reserves of a mysterious material, called by the people "cursed mineral" since it tends to weaken magic of people when this material is present and, since magic is considered, a blessing given by the gods in that world, said "cursed mineral" has been stigmatized a lot. which is also a strange black color. However, one of the kingdom's scientists has verified that the "cursed ore" weakens the magic that surrounds it because it is a material that, for some reason, absorbs magic and that, if overloaded, tends to explode as if it was an over-charged battery. These properties that said material has been something that quickly captivates Kazuya, because coming from a world several centuries in the future compared to the world in which it has been summoned, he knows well that the exploitation of said material will undoubtedly be able to do advance that delayed world of the middle age to a rapid and vertiginous industrial revolution, imposing Fredonia as the great superpower ruling the whole world and guarantor of peace. However, if things are not done properly, there is always the possibility that the exploitation of this material will cause chaos and destruction, so Kazuya decides to keep the secret until the time is right.
On the other hand, Kazuya believes that they can continue to closely observe, and study said material in secret, so he sends his three wives, who are also skilled warriors and magic users, to investigate what is inside a deep cave that leads to a "cursed ore" deposit just below the kingdom's capital, Parnam. Kazuya would normally prefer to accompany his wives, but the enormous amount of bureaucracy and paperwork that he must do after the annexation of Amidonia deters him, and furthermore, his three wives are much more powerful than him, so he considers that the three of them together they will surely be able to defend themselves effectively against any threat.
This is how, at night, the three wives of King Kazuya, who really are two wives and a fiancée, descend into the depths of that cave, which is accessed through the city's sewage system and which, turns out to be quite near that underground entrance of the palace of the kingdom. Then Liscia, Aisha and Juna, the three women, they venture into the sewer and then into the cave that leads to the great "cursed ore" deposit. At the beginning of their small and local adventure, everything has been quite easy for them, perhaps meeting some monster in the process, but without being a rival for their powers and abilities. As they get closer and closer to the deposit of the "accursed mineral", the walls of the cave begin to be dominated more and more by that material. Before they knew it, the three women were already in some caves within the deposit of that mineral, while the light they generate with their magic begins to become more and more opaque due to the property of that material that absorbs magical energy.
The nervous women think they should get out of there after taking some rocks of that mineral to serve as a sample, before all their magic gets absorbed by the enormous deposits of the mineral that, for them, turns out to be a powerful sponge that absorbed their magic like a small puddle of water.
However, when they turned around to start their journey towards the exit, suddenly a huge and powerful golem of that mineral with red eyes and emanating in the form of light a great amount of energy fell from some other hole. The three women wondered how that could be possible... Has that golem been formed for centuries with the magic that those deposits have absorbed from the inhabitants of the capital little by little? Juna and Liscia try to attack the golem with their magical powers but, to their surprise, all their powers had already been absorbed, while Aisha attacked the golem with her sword, resulting in a broken sword as that "cursed mineral" which the golem was made had a great resistance.
For them there was no other choice but to run towards the depths of those caves, distant from the exit to the surface, and barely seeing a little light from the torches they had lit earlier with what little magic they had left. After several minutes of exhaustive pursuit, the women glimpsed that the road in front of them divided into three lanes, so they decided to separate to confuse the golem, thinking that the golem will only chase one of them while the other two could flee to the surface to ask for help or maybe manage to attack the golem from behind. However, even without noticing it for having divided its path, the golem calmly divided into three smaller golems that as they passed through the tunnels, regained their size by absorbing mineral from around them, leaving the three at the mercy of that golem, separately.

To Juna's bad luck, the golem that was chasing her, who was perhaps already tired of chasing them, launched a powerful magical attack that covered the entire space in the cave. Juna couldn't do anything but to take the entire attack from behind her and quickly being sucked into the magic. after the blinding light, only a beautiful and naked Juna was left with her body... plastified? Perhaps that golem is not just an amorphous mass of "cursed mineral", but it could be that it has some consciousness of its own, including a sense of humor, aesthetic taste and a strange sense of humor. Then the giant golem takes Juna with its big stone hands and takes her to some mysterious place. Hours later Juna, still conscious and confused, was turned into a mannequin in a city store posing a beautiful wedding dress, while the shopkeeper talks about how happy he is after finding such a beautiful mannequin floating in Parnam sewage

On the other hand, it seems that simultaneously with Juna's sad fate, Aisha doesn't seem to have much luck in her future. Suddenly Aisha, unable to react, is knocked out by a huge beam of light that hits her on the ground and leaves her unconscious. Hours later Aisha wakes up, but there is something strange in her surroundings... No matter how hard she tries, she cannot move, but she moves nonetheless... It seems that she has ribbons tied to each of her extremities and, apparently, she has been turned into entertainment for that golem, who uses her as a puppet pulling strings while other smaller golems watch the performance and applaud.

Fate has finally caught up with Liscia, Kazuya's first wife and princess of Elfrieden, who seems to contemplate how her time has come to an end while a huge beam of light comes out from under the mineral that she steps on like ground and absorbs it into the void. Hours later, on the surface, Kazuya wonders why his wives have taken so long to return, and impatiently thinks what to do about it, while Liscia found herself shrunken, turned into a doll, or rather, a figure, on a shelf made of stone in what seems to be the house of that golem, Liscia now wearing a nice white lingerie set, with a metal support that hooks her torso and holds her to its base, while Liscia hangs from one leg in a cute and coquette position. Perhaps the golem also has knowledge of the world Kazuya comes from, as well as his culture and customs?
