    Everyone probably has one at least once. When I was in elementary school, I wrote my summer vacation homework diary on the last day of vacation. This is the experience of starting your exam study the same morning.

    Trusting yourself tomorrow, you leave the things you don’t want to do to tomorrow. However, most things you don’t like have an expiration date, and eventually the overdue debt will come back to you today.

    My coming to the guild was also the result of the accumulation of past laziness. As I kept putting off the bet with Schweitzer over and over again, the promised date was already one day away.

    Tomorrow is the guild’s once-a-month holiday, so if you don’t receive a bar request today, your promise will automatically be broken. I came to the guild because I had to stop by the alchemist later… . Ah~, should I just run away?

    “Oh well, we haven’t given up on the request yet!”

    “Stop talking nonsense! This is already my 3rd failure, just leave now!”

    “What? Where can you find someone with poor performance? .”

    I trudged into the guild lobby, repeating meaningless thoughts, and found two adventurer parties fighting inside.

    It’s a common sight in bars, but fighting in the lobby is quite rare. Surprisingly, other people except me didn’t seem to care much. Did something happen while I was away?

    “Ah, Mr. TS!”

    “It’s Ranian. It feels like it’s been a while since I last saw you.”

    I hadn’t even made a decision yet. As I was watching them fight in a daze, Ranian came up from the side. I was quite happy, perhaps because the last time I saw it was before I found a place to stay.

    “Really! What brings you here today? Is this the same thing you said you were doing last time?”

    “Huh!? Ah, well, that’s roughly what it feels like? Ahaha… .”

    Now that I think about it, you said you were busy with leveling. Ranian probably only asked to say hello, but he flinched a little because it was the reason he came here.

    … Actually, I came here not because of leveling, but because I wanted to work at an adult bar.

    “Well, why are those people over there fighting?”

    “That one? By the way, come to think of it, you don’t come to the guild often these days. That’s probably a succubus dungeon competition.”

    “Competition? Is that where I went? … Why?”

    “Yes!? Because… . Ah, well, there. that is… . This may not sound very good to TS, but… .”

    Fortunately, there was a commotion right next door that was perfect for changing the subject. When asked about the reason for the quarrel, Ranian’s face turned red for some reason and he began to stutter to explain.

    It is said that the beginning of the flow is the abandonment of my request. As I, who was famous for my skills within the guild, gave up midway and came back, the adventurers in the guild were divided into two guesses. There are two groups: dungeons that are so difficult that you can’t beat them, and dungeons that are so unhealthy that you don’t even want to try.

    After several parties tried it, it was concluded that both cases were applicable, but the important thing for the adventurers anyway was whether or not it was the latter. The chance of losing your life is not high, but there are a lot of nasty traps. When that information circulated, you and I both decided to challenge that dungeon.

    “No, you could really die there. Are they idiots?”

    “Ha, haha… . Anyway, so the guild came out right away.”

    The appearance of demons in the western region certainly requires investigation, but the harm caused by the dungeon itself is not serious. I wouldn’t be happy with adventurers flocking to a place like that when there was a shortage of manpower.

    In the end, it seems that the current situation is that the guild took action and strongly restricted requests for the Succubus Dungeon, causing the competition rate to soar.

    … It’s been a long story, but to sum it up, it’s that the adventurers were caught off guard by the lewd behavior. Really, what men are. I understand, but I think it’s a bit boring.

    At the same time, I also seemed to understand why Ranian hesitated. It would definitely be difficult to say this to a woman. I’m fine because I’m an exception among exceptions, but there’s no way Ranian would know that fact.

    “Ranian You shouldn’t go to that place. Got it?”

    “Four!? ㄴ, four!”

    In that dungeon, there is a terrible super-killing feature hidden in it that says if you climax, your level will be taken away. When I reported it to the guild, I wrote that down, but since there was no concept of level, I had no choice but to simply write that I was getting weaker.

    Maybe that’s why many people didn’t take it seriously. I didn’t write it down because I didn’t know specifically how much it weakened.

    Ranian has become quite strong after a long time, but it would be a waste to go back to something like this. Since they also have spitz, I told Ranian not to go near that dungeon.

    “Do you think TS doesn’t want me to go to places like that…? ?”

    “… ? Of course that’s not good. So I’m saying don’t go.”

    “I see. I guess so? lol… . Okay, I’ll never go over there!”

    I don’t know why I’m asking such an obvious question one more time. Ranian smiled brightly and nodded energetically at my words.

    Well, it seems like the intention to not go was conveyed, so I guess it doesn’t matter.

    “By the way, do you remember the promise you made last time?”

    “… What about getting together?”

    “Yes! But Spitz and Paul said they had other things going on. So, that… . Is it okay if we just watch it together?”

    It’s not okay. The promised date is tomorrow. To be honest, I completely forgot about it until I heard it from Ranian. Really, what should I do about this?

    To put it simply, it was right to apologize to Ranian and cancel the promise. However, since I couldn’t explain the bar work, I was a little reluctant to refuse again with the vague excuse of ‘being busy’. It also feels like I’m using work as an excuse.

    Should I just accept it as is and ignore the bar? While I was thinking about such wishful thinking, someone suddenly grabbed my shoulder from behind.

    “What is it, you guys. Why are you whispering so quietly? Hug me too, okay?”

    I immediately tried to break the robber’s wrist and throw him away. Before that, I froze when I heard a voice coming from behind me. This Schweitzer guy is the culprit of the troubles that have been going on for the past few days.

    Ranian’s expression, which is usually very flustered, is becoming slightly wary. I caught a glimpse of his gaze turning to the hand holding his shoulder.

    “… Let go of this. Right now. Do you want to be beaten again like that time?”

    “When was that time? Is that by any chance? Oh in front of people──”

    “I told you to let go of this!”

    Schweitzer was about to say something useless, so I forced myself to raise my voice and cut him off. I get goosebumps knowing that it could have been dangerous if it had been just a little bit later.

    slap. I immediately turned my head and glared at him, but Schweitzer was smiling leisurely, as if he didn’t care. It would be difficult if I pretended not to know and said something strange like this again, so I just opened my mouth and did my best to stop it.

    ‘Are you crazy!?’

    ‘You have to behave well like that.’

    ‘Tsk… . ‘That’s enough, don’t talk nonsense!’

    “… Mr. Schneizer. It’s inside the guild. Please let TS go.”

    “Wow. So, are you going to call security? Okay, okay. I’ll let go, so don’t stare at me too much.”

    Normally, it would have ended with me hitting Schweitzer. Perhaps it was because he could hardly take the initiative, but on a rare occasion, Ranian intervened from the side. Seeing that half-faced look, Schweitzer also trembled jokingly and put down his hand on his shoulder.

    … Instead, I held on to her buttocks tightly.

    I wondered why he was so obediently leaving. Schweitzer massaged my butt as if it were a toy. Every time I do this, I feel disgusted, as if I have been bitten by a bug, and my skin grows.

    However, if I force this away, this time I might actually tell him what happened at the bar. Unable to do anything about my unruly hands, I tried desperately to keep a smiling face, taking comfort in the fact that Ranian could not see me.

    “So what were you talking about like that?”

    “As for tomorrow’s plans, I don’t really want to talk about it. It doesn’t matter to you anyway.”

    “That’s not necessarily true. Isn’t that right, TS?”

    At Lanian’s barbed words, Schweitzer laughed provocatively and turned his arrow towards me. Ranian looked at me with slightly surprised eyes, as if he hadn’t expected me to come out of there.

    In fact, the one I want to go to with Seonyagdo is Ranian. Unfortunately, the decision-making power was not mine.

    Wow. A thick hand distorted the shape of her buttocks, urging her to answer.

    “ugh… ♡ Sorry, Ranian. I was trying to talk about it earlier, but I missed the timing. This time Shuba──”

    Wow.

    “─… I made a request together with Schneizer. So I think we should postpone the appointment until later.”

    “Oh, no. are you okay. If it’s work, there’s nothing you can do. however… .”

    While waving his hands, Ranian glanced at Schweitzer with anxious eyes. Maybe he cares about me. He’s also seen Schweitzer fool around a few times.

    I appreciate your kind words, but I couldn’t let my current situation become known. I smiled brightly and clenched my fists.

    “Don’t worry. You know that too, right? This guy is no match for me.”

    “Yeah, that’s right. It’s been okay so far. I guess I was worried for no reason.”

    “Look, am I right? Then go. Because this guy and I have something to talk about about a request.”

    Take a peek. Ranian’s clinging gaze turned to me, but I just smiled, pretending not to notice. As I was not denying Schweitzer’s words in any way, Ranian said hello and trudged out of the guild.

    … The feeling that I had done something very bad pricked my conscience. This can’t be helped. If Ranian continues to stay here, it will be even more difficult.

    “Fuha! Did you see that guy’s face when I brought up the topic of requests? Because I’m Bronze, I can’t even say I’ll join in on the Silver request. I was going to cry, really.”

    “Shut up… .”

    “That’s really scary. What are you going to do if you don’t shut up? He said he was no match for me. Huh?”

    With Schweitzer’s mockery, the hand that had been massaging her butt began to move lower and lower between her legs. Fortunately, this time, Ranian was not there, so I was able to stop him by holding his hand.

    But that’s it. I couldn’t break my fingers or slam my fist into my side like I used to. I keep becoming conscious of what kind of rumors will spread if I go against this guy’s wishes.

    “… Here, no… .”

    In the end, all I could do was remind myself that there were eyes around me. Even this guy wouldn’t try to do that in the middle of the guild lobby.

    But for some reason, Schweitzer heard me and looked down at me. Without saying a word. Without even blinking.

    … uh. Well, what is it? Did I say something strange?

    Wow!

    “Ugh!?”

    “Yes, you are right. Come out properly tomorrow. Don’t fall into confusion.”

    While I was confused and didn’t know what was happening, Schweitzer suddenly hit me on the butt. The sound was loud and it didn’t really hurt, but the confusion grew even more.

    what. What on earth do you want to do!?

    I was panicking with a lot of question marks in my head. By the time the possibility that he was just being teased occurred to me, Schweitzer had already moved far away.
