The tavern where Thiel left.
Mika and Richa were sipping drinks and talking.
“Mika, if Thiel gets along well with a man named Evans, he may join our party. In other words, power increase.”
“What are you going to do when your power increases? We did well even with Thiel alone. On the contrary, if one more person comes in, it will only increase the amount of money to be shared, which is a loss. Wouldn’t it be better if you were a healer?”
“Safety definitely increases when a healer comes in. But now Mika seems uncomfortable because Thiel is more into a man than money, so to speak, quality… .”
“No!”
Mika sighed as he immediately cut off Risha’s words and set down the wooden drinking glass.
“Ha. Let’s stop for today. If I drink more for no reason, my head will only hurt more tomorrow when I hear Thiel bragging annoyingly next to me.”
“No matter what happens, I hope that T.L. does well, Mika. In other words, it’s a tsundere… .”
“No! And instead of whining about something bad, it’s better to just squirm! Master Calculation!”
“Oh, Mika, are you giving me something in return? In other words, the barrel is big… .”
“You own it.”
“Correction. In other words, it’s small.”
“What is Jjojan?”
After paying, Mika tried to leave the bar.
Right then.
Squeak.
Thiel entered the bar with his head down.
“T L? What, why did you come back… .”
As he was about to ask, Mika stopped talking.
The senses unique to the beast people and the senses honed while working as a ranger detected that Thiel’s current condition was unusual.
‘what? Come on? no way… .’
Mika immediately guessed that Thiel had returned in an unusual mood.
The first thing that comes to mind is the assumption that Evans flirted with another woman while promising to marry Thiel.
Mika knew that if it was just that he wasn’t at the meeting place or that he had been dumped, Thiel would have cried and there would have been no way he would have expressed such a serious mood.
‘Evans… Just by looking at it, it didn’t seem warm. ‘I’ll ask about that bastard later, but first is Thiel.’
“Hey, tee… .”
“Tiel, what is that engraved on your stomach? So to speak, question.”
‘On the boat?’
From Leesha’s question, Mika was able to understand what he had missed due to Tiel’s atmosphere.
‘W-what is that?’
A pink pattern imitating the shape of a uterus engraved near Thiel’s lower abdomen.
No one could think that it was just a casual fashion statement.
Moreover, it had been less than an hour since Thiel had left the bar.
It’s such a short time to get a tattoo, so there’s only one thing to think about.
Magic.
There was a possibility that it was a forced imprint caused by magic.
“Hey, Thiel! What on earth did you do to that kid? !”
“Revenge… .”
“What?”
“Revenge!”
Thiel shouted so loudly that it echoed throughout the tavern.
“I will definitely get revenge on that damn bitch who killed darling!”
“What? plural? Damn bitch?”
Mika felt even more at a loss as Thiel spoke a word that seemed completely different from what he had expected.
At that time, Leesha stood up and approached Thiel.
“Tiel, we don’t know why you’re angry or why you’re crying out for revenge. First, shake it all off. So to speak, asking for an explanation.”
“Keuuu! Mika… ! Richa… !”
Upon hearing Leesha’s words, Thiel’s eyes were distorted with anger.
Thiel confessed what he had experienced to Mika and Richa.
“So that black-haired woman engraved this on you?”
“That’s right… Plus, Evans… You killed our darling and took away the memories of my precious first experience!”
bang! And Thiel slammed his fist on the table.
Thiel’s body trembled with anger that had not yet subsided.
“Never… ! I can never forgive you! This is happening to me who hasn’t even gotten married yet and has no experience… I will keep these things in mind, find that bitch who disappeared so quickly, and get revenge!!!”
“Hmm… .”
Meanwhile, Leesha looked closely at the pattern engraved on Thiel’s lower abdomen and observed it by tapping it with her hand.
“TL. I think I may know the identity of the person who murdered Evans and carved this symbol on you. So to speak, guessing.”
“Really? What a bitch! What kind of year is this!”
“U. uh. uh. uh. Thiel, grab your robe and stop shaking it, so to speak. Ugh,”
“Hey, Thiel! Calm down, Lisha says.”
“Ugh! Sorry, Lisha.”
As Thiel let go of the robe, Leesha shook her head while adjusting her robe.
“No, it’s natural for Thiel to be excited. My first boyfriend died like that and something like this happened to me. So to speak, I understand.”
“So what kind of bitch are you? Tell me quickly!”
“If I were to tell you what I think, that woman’s true identity is a succubus.”
“Succubus?”
“The reason Evans died like that was because of the succubus’s unique power to absorb vital energy. The carving on Thiel’s stomach is similar to the vulva of the Yinma succubus. The only people who can engrave something like this are a succubus with a vulva or a wizard well versed in black magic.
However, I don’t think the warlock will easily block Tiel’s sword. There is no way to kill a man by absorbing his vital energy. So the answer is a strong succubus. So to speak, a confident guess.”
Thiel gritted his teeth after hearing Leesha’s explanation.
“Okay… The guy who killed our darling is a succubus! Richa! Where is that succubus!”
“I don’t know that much. What I said in the first place was speculation about his identity. There is no way to know the location. In other words, lack of information.”
“Then I have to go find it right away! Mika! Richa! Help me! Revenge! Bloody revenge on that bitch!!!”
Anger and revenge burned brightly in Thiel’s eyes.
At that time, Mika crossed his arms and spoke to Thiel.
“Hey, calm down. Don’t act hastily.”
“Calm down! Does it look real? Our darling… Darling was murdered and I was also engraved with something like this!”
Thiel pointed to her vulva with the index fingers of both hands.
The men in the bar glanced and their eyes began to focus on Thiel’s lower abdomen.
“What are you looking at! I enjoyed the sights!”
Mika gave me a sharp look and caught his gaze.
“Tiel, think about it. How do you find a succubus that suddenly disappeared and you don’t know where it is? Besides, I heard your sword was strong enough to easily block it? How do you beat a succubus like that?”
“Of course, Mika and Richa can help! As usual, I take charge of the lineman and take the time! Mika finds an opening and attacks! All Leesha can do is blow it away with magic!”
“It’s too dangerous. Not only for us but also for you.”
“Mika~.”
Tiel cried when Mika was not active in his revenge.
“Ha. Hey, T.L. To be honest, I’m opposed to recklessly taking revenge on that succubus.”
“Uh, why!”
“Well, even if Evans is dead… To be honest, you and Evans have only been dating for a week. Did you make any memories during that time? We didn’t even meet properly this time because we were busy completing the request. Do you know that I didn’t even kiss you?”
“Well, still!”
“Now you are so angry that your first boyfriend died. I don’t know if you and Evans really had a special relationship… You and that grumpy bastard just talked to each other and didn’t do anything right.”
“It’s too much! Mika! How can you say that!”
“I was just telling the truth.”
“Ugh, uh, uh… Leesha~!”
Thiel couldn’t stop crying and hugged Richa’s shoulders.
“Mika said something harsh~!”
“Tiel, these are all for Thiel. Mika is just speaking harshly because he is worried that Tiel might get hurt while acting recklessly out of revenge. In other words, a tsundere. … ! I said it all!”
“No!”
“Heh.”
Leesha snorted, happy that she finally spoke before Mika stopped her.
“Ha, really. Anyway, I am against reckless revenge. Still, the whereabouts of that succubus… I think I need to know about that tattoo, so I’ll cooperate with you.”
“Mi, Mika… !”
“Oh, don’t look at me like that! Lisha, do you know anything about this tattoo?”
“I have never majored in black magic, so I don’t know. So to speak, lack of knowledge. To find out more, you need to visit a warlock or look at the materials at the academy’s library. In other words, knowledge exploration.”
“First of all, you don’t know how to get rid of this right now?”
“That’s right. In the first place, the vulva is a symbol that is visible to succubi that reveal their true form, and it is unclear what kind of phenomenon it will show when it is engraved on a human. At least, I’ve never seen a woman with a vulva engraved on her before except Thiel. So to speak, a rare phenomenon.”
“What, what?!”
Thiel couldn’t help but be surprised by Leesha’s words.
Leesha was considered the most knowledgeable of her party.
Even Richa could not know exactly what phenomenon was caused by this vulva engraved on her.
According to the woman presumed to be a succubus, the vulva allows her to meet a man cooler than Evans.
But Thiel did not believe what he said.
‘How can you believe the words of the damn bitch who took Darling’s life!’
Even if you don’t believe it, it’s unsettling not knowing what will happen.
“Lee, Leesha! Are you really not sure? Not one?”
“Considering that the person engraved is a succubus, I think it will cause an erotic phenomenon, so to speak, an erotic phenomenon.”
“It’s an erotic phenomenon… !”
Thiel opened his mouth wide and covered his face in shock.
“Ha, first of all, let’s head back for today. Because it’s late.”
“Huh? Huh? Let’s break up like this?”
“But you can’t worry about it all night, right? Let’s take a break and think about it again tomorrow.”
“I also agree. Thiel, you need a break now too. You will be mentally very tired. In other words, rest is recommended.”
“Ugh… Okay.”
Although he was very motivated to do something more, Thiel could not reject the feelings of his colleagues who thought about him.
And Thiel, Mika, and Richa decided to return to the inn where they were staying.
Before parting ways, Mika said to Thiel.
“Hey! Thiel! Just in case, be careful with men! You understand!”
‘Mika… .’
Even though he was against it at first, Thiel’s heart was touched by Mika’s words that he was worried about him in one way or another.
“Don’t worry! Because I will immediately punish any wicked man who tries to touch me without permission!”
Thiel is not a weak woman, but a C-class adventurer swordsman.
Even though I lost to an unknown succubus, I never thought I would lose to some men.
***
Arriving at the inn, Thiel waved at the friendly-looking innkeeper at the counter.
“Hello, Mr. Thomas.”
“You’re back, Thiel. But didn’t you say you would be with your boyfriend today? Besides, that thing on the boat… .”
Thiel has been bragging to her colleagues every day since she started dating Evans.
Thomas, an innkeeper whom I knew, was also the subject of that boast.
At least the conversation with his colleague made him feel better, but Thomas’ question made Thiel feel angry and depressed.
“… Sorry, Mr. Thomas. Please don’t ask now.”
“Well, so? You look tired. Go up and sleep.”
“Yes.”
Thiel went up the stairs and headed to his room.
“… .”
And Thomas was quietly looking up at Thiel as he climbed the stairs.
