Chapter Index

    Ichinose knows the capabilities of the Ability People and the Police Department in Academy City.

    The ominous magic left behind by the monolith must have already been captured.

    So, on the one hand, my head was complicated.

    If the missing person had been identified, would the parents in Samhwaguk have heard the news? If the instructor and Noah knew about the incident, wouldn’t they be very worried?

    I wonder if my father’s busy schedule, which includes training in business management, is being ruined because of me.

    Ichinose’s head was filled with all sorts of worries.

    Every time I walked through a quiet forest after a fight with a succubus or a husk, distracting thoughts would not leave my head.

    I know that this isn’t something a human who falls into a dungeon should worry about.

    It is definitely a bad habit that makes mental fatigue twice as heavy.

    Still, Ichinose had that kind of personality.

    She was a girl who had no choice but to keep her worries to herself.

    Now that I’ve found the pillow I’ve been desperately looking for, I feel more comfortable.

    For a moment, you are free from your thoughts and become free.

    ‘This is it…! That’s right. It felt like this…’

    This pillow is definitely 100 points.

    It’s perfect. My consciousness is floating around.

    You’re approaching me to use my partner’s thigh as a pillow.

    This is something Ichinose would never have done in her usual state. But for some reason, she ended up doing it without thinking.

    Embarrassment aside, it’s strangely satisfying to see Rohan frozen in place.

    “···.”

    Rohan keeps silent. It’s nice to hear his breathing.

    Just lying down relaxes the tension and relieves the accumulated mental fatigue.

    ‘Something smells great…’

    Now, Rohan smells more like flesh than he did on the deserted island.

    This is the scent of a male.

    Even though Ichinose is the first to take charge and has never learned anything, her feminine instincts give her confidence.

    I feel a hot heat on the back of my head.

    That heavy, throbbing thing where the blood flow gathered and it almost touched the back of Ichinose’s head.

    Rohan seems to be doing his best to restrain himself.

    ‘Sir, is there any aftereffect of the fascination left?’

    Or maybe it was the sight of a succubus’ body that made you feel sexually urges.

    “···.”

    It must be a man’s unstoppable instinct.

    Still, something… something feels wrong. That feeling takes precedence over feeling embarrassed.

    ‘Do men like voluptuous bodies like succubi?’

    “Did you want to be this small?” Ichinose’s lips turned out like a duck’s.

    One hope that arises in the midst of all this.

    ‘Well, but when I see him hanging out with a woman named Clara…?’

    One of the two people that Rohan particularly likes and takes care of.

    Ichinose’s heart races as he thinks of a doll-like girl with twintails.

    “Oh my gosh. Can’t sleep? Are you uncomfortable?”

    “···It’s comfortable.”

    “Then that’s fortunate.”

    My breathing was regular and I was facing a direction where my face could not be seen.

    How did Rohan know he wasn’t asleep?

    He’s still a strange man. He’s very different from other men.

    “Rohan. Isn’t it uncomfortable?”

    “Not at all.”

    “Are you really not uncomfortable? It’s okay to be honest.”

    “It’s okay. Can you sing me a lullaby?”

    “Okay···.”

    Is the problem that your consciousness is distorted?

    Today, I find myself deeply contemplating the nickname “Eung-Aenose” and Rohan’s actions.

    Oh my god, doesn’t Rohan even fall into the category of reason?

    “Rohan.”

    “Yeah.”

    “Do I feel like such a child···?”

    Rohan didn’t miss the sadness flowing in Ichinose’s voice.

    This is a section where if you play around, it will spread like wildfire.

    Even the smallest spark should not be ignored. If this is not caught quickly, it could grow like a forest fire and become too big to turn back.

    “There’s no way I meant it like that.”

    “···If not that, what does it mean?”

    “How can you look at her like she’s a child when she’s so pretty? I tried to express it in a good way, but I’m sorry if you felt bad.”

    A few seconds after Rohan’s words fell.

    Ichinose, who had been lying down, jumped around like a fish. She raised her upper body and looked at Rohan with wide eyes.

    “Is this pretty···?! Me···?”

    “Why are you so surprised? You’ve heard enough to know that you’re pretty.”

    As Rohan said, I heard it so many times that it was annoying.

    But the sound is different. My heart is pounding.

    Ichinose lay back down on Rohan’s thigh and hurriedly hid her face.

    “Should I not call you by your nickname? ”

    “···I don’t mean anything bad, so I’ll only allow it when there are two of us.”

    “As expected, Aeng-ae-no-se has a big heart.”

    Now a sign of growth.

    Rohan puts his hand on her shoulder and taps it with a slow rhythm.

    Ichinose fell into dreamland with a sense of relief, as if a thorn had been pulled out.

    I think I slept for about an hour.

    After getting some proper sleep, Ichinose expressed her gratitude to Rohan.

    I continued stretching to wake up my sunken senses.

    “There are combat rations, bread, and jelly. I guess I should avoid snacks, chicken, and pizza… Is there anything you want to eat? Rice would be okay.”

    Ichinose hesitated for a moment at Rohan’s question, then chose one menu after observing the situation.

    “Ra, how about ramen···?”

    “Do you want to eat ramen?”

    When Rohan gave him a look of surprise, Ichinose blushed and nodded slightly.

    Ichinose has had many challenges recently, and there have been exactly as many failures.

    No matter how I made ramen, it didn’t taste like the one Rohan made on the deserted island.

    The ramen she ate that day still lingered in the girl’s mind.

    “Ramen can’t be made with my skills··· Is it okay to use it as combat rations for now? I’ll go out and make the ramen for you.”

    “I’m sorry for being unreasonable. Of course, I appreciate the combat rations.”

    Ichinose is in no position to be picky. As someone on the receiving end, I want to bow deeply.

    Plus, there’s a ‘ramen’ prize you can get when you go back? That’s great motivation.

    Rohan pulled out a large combat ration from the air.

    Manufacturing began quickly.

    “Just wait a moment. It will be made soon.”

    A dungeon where succubi who eat spirits live.

    If a normal person were dragged into the monolith, it would clearly be an environment where they would have a hard time eating and drinking.

    In the midst of all this, Rohan’s skill shines.

    Ichinose realized once again how fortunate she was to have Rohan as her partner. He has a great sense of stability.

    “This is··· the combat rations I ate on a deserted island.”

    Ichinose, who had been watching Rohan’s skilled skills, revealed what he had noticed.

    “Oh, did you notice? Keep it a secret from the instructor.”

    “It’s a skill you have, so there’s no problem.”

    “I don’t think you’ll say anything like that··· Just.”

    Ichinose chatted with Rohan and recalled her memories of the practical exam.

    ‘Rohan was definitely at that time···.’

    Ichinose remembers. Rohan didn’t use his skills recklessly on the uninhabited island.

    When Noah, who had come looking for ramen, collapsed from hunger and was groaning, he brought it out, saying he had found a supply.

    The first use of a skill is not for oneself, but for others.

    “Rohan is kind.”

    A soft smile appeared on Ichinose’s lips.

    ··

    ··

    Rohan and Ichinose, who had replenished their energy, headed towards the building they had seen through the thick fog.

    The closer we get, the clearer Rohan’s memories become.

    That is the mansion owned by the succubus. One of the succubus named resides here.

    ‘This is not the place where the Monolith is.’

    But it is a place you have to go through.

    There is a need to reduce the number of people to prevent unification, and proper experience in fighting succubi is also needed.

    ‘I don’t remember the name… what was it?’

    Give up on information that doesn’t come to mind. Approach as quietly as possible.

    Even without going inside, the outside is completely open. There are no walls or anything like that.

    Even if you just walk around the bushes nearby and wander around, various things come into view.

    ‘That’s right. That was the structure.’

    The owner of this mansion enjoys bathing outdoors. There is a huge bathtub in the yard.

    A black rose floats on hot water with bath salts.

    Around the bathtub, there is a row of men who resemble butlers.

    They are all young men with slim builds.

    I don’t know if it’s because I came here that I became skinny or if I was originally skinny.

    In Rohan’s memory, the named succubus living here likes to dress like that.

    ‘hmm.’

    Observe the men closely.

    His pale complexion and dull eyes were like those of a husk, but his facial skin was not withered or wrinkled.

    “That’s a pleasure stone.”

    “The Husks are different from the start.”

    “There is a high possibility that they also have military powers.”

    They whisper and exchange opinions.

    Ichinose had already placed his hand on his sword with tension.

    To put it simply, the pleasure stone is a human collection of succubi.

    Some may have it made as a pleasure stone because they like its appearance, while others may have it by their side because they like its shape.

    There are also pleasure stones that are kept next to you like guards just for the sake of their abilities, so the reasons for collecting them are truly varied.

    ‘Anyway, humans who are liked by the succubus in some way.’

    Sreung!

    Rohan took his sword out of its scabbard. He held the pistol in its holster in his left hand.

    “Oh my. Can I go?”

    “Yes. Let’s go.”

    It is time to liberate those poor people and give them rest.

    and.

    Now it’s time to meet a named succubus who can talk.
