Chapter 46.2

As for Remy, she didn’t particularly appear to be frightened, and finished with only a slight bow.

Nekomiya Miya, while swaying her key tail like a metronome, pondered in a theatrical gesture.

Copied from

While everyone in the cla.s.s was waking up to Phase 2 ability little by little. Wherein, just herself didn’t show any sign of becoming able to use Phase 2, in the first place, she didn’t use the prerequisite ability even once.

While being monster, their mentality was still human, therefore a sense of incompatibility would definitely be born. When interacting with humans, he was forced to feel that. Even looking at the att.i.tude of those merchants, themselves were still just monsters.

Because she was a succubus, she should have been able to use the racial ability «Temptation». But Sak.u.ma had never used that.

“Since I don’t have any particular purpose, being together with Goubayas.h.i.+ is also okay, but then,”

“From me as well, I’m sorry. Kaoru. If possible, you and Sachi…”

“Then how about Remy? Your ears are pointed though?”

“I will refrain.”

Besides, this would be a difficult request, but there was also the ‘human’s blood’ Akai wanted.

“Well, we think that where’s whose turf is trivial.”

“You’ve live a considerably hard life.”

“You said so Nekomiya, but since the other side is wary of us, something like interview is impossible, isn’t it?”

“She is half human, moreover not afraid of monsters, so if we ask, could she let Akai drink blood? That’s my thought.”

Since there was no way they can get something like beautiful clothes in this uninhabited coast, so did they embezzle some of the merchandise or something else?

Akai narrowed her eyes slightly. Arms crossed, she took a deep, deep breath, then unwrapping her arms, she slowly bowed to Kaoru.

“Is that so? Then, Sachi’s Phase 2 ability is this too?”

While seeing off Goubayas.h.i.+’s back, Kyousuke said so. In his heart, he was thinking: Looking from the side like this, all I can see is an ogre following behind two beauties, so it’s a considerably suspicious scene, isn’t it?

The sahagin corpses that were made in the previous battle were beautifully cleaned up. The merchants were probably sleeping in the sailing s.h.i.+p; there was no facility that could accommodate humans. However, cargo-like things were gathered in one place, and the figure of a pet.i.te girl inspecting that was visible.

Confirming that there wasn’t anyone, Akai, as it was, sat down on the sandy beach. Needless to say, her clothes were a sailor uniform. Sand got on her skirt, but she didn’t appear to mind it.

“Well, saying I don’t care about it would be lying. But this was also a good chance to confront myself. Besides, the target I should get angry at is not you. Isn’t that right?”

The reason, even she herself knew.

“It lightly came out in the story. Phase 2, 3? Do I have that too?”

Kyousuke looked around the sandy beach.

“Yeah, I will try my best…”

“In that case, we can just look around on our own. Ahh, are you saying wary in a sense of socializing with me? As expected, I don’t have the bad taste to steal other people lover.”

“I have one question. Why did you think about saving us?&r

dquo;

Nekomiya the cait sith answered Goubayas.h.i.+ in a theatrical tone.

Remy, doc.u.ments in one hand, was checking the barrels and wooden boxes lining up on the sandy beach one by one. Every time Remy pa.s.sed by, the men would exchange a few words with her and carry the wooden boxes and barrels to the sailing s.h.i.+p.

“Yo!”

But that stabbed deeply into Sak.u.ma big chest.

“Fumu, understood.”

Episode 46 — A Succubus’ Homework

“…These clothes are from the abandoned cargoes, Kaoru-san said it’s too wasteful.”

“You seem healthy, Kaoru.”

Looking up at Kyousuke, Nekomiya Miya said.

“Is that so? Kaoru-san is also the same, but every is too human so…”

It didn’t mean she was particularly angry. Neither was she astonished. Akai Asuka was just stating the fact indifferently.

“Ah, yes! I’ll go immediately! Then, please excuse me for a bit.”

Kaoru’s words were gentle, but the things he was saying was strict. Certainly, after the case of Akai’s confession, Harui and Hebitsuka had become a just a little distant from her. Probably because everyone was species that was good at keeping up appearances, there was hardly any students who noticed that slight different.

“That sort of thing,”

“…Curiosity killed the cat.”

“Well, I don’t particularly have any wary or conceit about that, but…. I like cat.”

“There are abandoned cargoes? Wasteful, isn’t it?”

Before Kyousuke indicated his consent, Nekomiya had forcibly advanced the story. Well, since Kyousuke had no particular reason to refuse, if said no problem, then it was no problem.

That Was.h.i.+o had died.

Without being timid, Nekomiya greeted. A man who was about to talk to Remy was evidently startled and took distance.

Gently smiling, softly brus.h.i.+ng Sak.u.ma’s silver hair, immediately afterward, Kaoru turned his gaze to Akai.

Ignoring Akai and Kaoru’s conversation, Sak.u.ma imagined a certain boy in her mind.

“Haaa…!!”

“Steeling myself, I’m tired…. It’s stupid to keep up appearance in front of you two…”

That Kogane was kidnapped. That they made contact with the human force for the first time, that they remodeled the heavy cruiser, making it a moving branch school.

“Cargo check.”

“…Yeah.”

Presently, Goubayas.h.i.+ was letting out fighting spirit at full throttle, simultaneously performing clearing out people and vigilance, so actually, the possibility of this scene being seen could be said to be nil.

“Only, I feel that everyone’s way of thinking is clearly different from the monsters I saw there. Well, that’s all.”

Thereabouts, Remy was called by other merchants in a loud voice.

“Ahh, her name seems to be Remy. I heard she’s the first one Kaoruko met.”

“Oi, Remy, come over here for a bit–!”

“What do you think?”

“I think it’s related to the current, but quite a lot cargoes from the other caravan s.h.i.+ps that had sunk in the storm was washed ash.o.r.e. What I’m doing is checking that. Which company the cargoes belong to, what do they contain? There are also cargoes of company that had been completely destroyed, so when you want something in that, it will be auctioned. Properly check it, and when we return, part of the sales will be paid to the guild, the rules too are complicated.”

Akai raised her face, on her lips pressed Kaoru’s index finger.

“That’s right. Since it’s a good chance, let’s talk. As far as I heard the story, Kaoru has already awoken to Phase 2 ability.”

Compared to the bigness of his body, he was a man who could make this kind of attentive consideration. Clearing out the people, or more precisely, if Goubayas.h.i.+ just crossed his arms and stood imposingly, ordinary humans would be too scared to approach, so well, he was the ideal candidate?

“Ah, was that the case?”

“I think it will be hard to talk when we or the other merchants are looking. You can leave clearing out the people to me.”

“Akai won’t do anything like being unable to endure it and attacking humans, right?”

What Ryuzaki was going to talk with Welkano-s.h.i.+ was, well, various.

“I think that not everyone knows. But the person herself didn’t plan to hide it so much, did she?”

“But Sachi originally has never used «Temptation» even once, so her homework is a stage before that…”

Apparently it was correct. Was she embarra.s.sed by the unfamiliar clothes? Her voice was a little tense.

“Certainly, sahagin is brutal, difficult to come to understanding species. However, I don’t quite understand the reason why everyone attacks the sahagins and not us. If we a.s.sume that this area is the sahagins’ turf, the one who invade are definitely us.”

“Being next to you seem suffocating. Utsurogi?”

Dream demon’s, the fact that she had expressively said this, was because incubus and succubus were, as expected, the same species. In other words, that would also influence Sak.u.ma’s Phase 2 ability. So far, Sak.u.ma Sachiko had read through various doc.u.ments gathered in the cla.s.s, but she mostly didn’t look at the things about dream demons.

“Ahh, yes. That’s because I’m half elf. Only I don’t know who my parents are.”

“Indomitable commercial spirit.”

This maritime caravan seemed to be formed by multiple companies affiliated with the Continental Southern Commerce Guild. Remy, as a newcomer of Welkano Company, had accompanied the journey this time. And immediately, it was this, indeed, this could only be said as bad luck.

On the sandy beach, Goubayas.h.i.+, arms still crossed, said so.

A skeleton and a cait sith walked along the sandy beach, young merchants were warily watching them. Only, when they were trying to withdraw to the sailing s.h.i.+p before sunset, it might be more correct to describe it as hurriedly escaping.

“(Is it better, to use, it…)”

A brown-skinned little girl. He saw him some time ago. It was a girl named Remy.

Fas.h.i.+on check was Kaoruko’s hobby. His favorite motto was «We are on stage», with that as a premise, he was especially strict toward girls. In short, «Since you’re born a girl after much trouble, be more cute!», he said. At first, he was thought to be creepy, but by the time two months had pa.s.sed, Kaoruko completely became the cla.s.s’s fas.h.i.+on leader.

Kyousuke, he had been living a relatively narrow world even at school. By narrow world, that meant a world of only Kyousuke, Akira and Kogane. He had talked to Sak.u.ma in a s.p.a.ce called the library sometimes as well, nevertheless, the humans necessary for his school life didn’t even reach 5 people.

As he was told, Kyousuke ponder.

“Uh huh…”

“Pardon me for a bit now…”

Nekomiya Miya, she was a black cat wearing leather boots. When she was in a good mood, she would straighten her prided key tail and walked upright.

Okama Kaoru was this kind of man. There might be some problems in determining him as a man. But Sak.u.ma, from the bottom of her heart, thought that she was glad to be Kaoru’s friend, that too was probably the same for Akai. Akai, after looking around as if she was worrying about the surroundings, suddenly breathe out.

Easily confessed a shocking truth.

She was talking jokingly, but the practical matter was that she was worry about Akai. In all appearance, this caravan had many humans, it would be best if they could offer their blood, but in an emotional sense, it would be difficult to request that.

Even Kyousuke had leaked an admired voice.

“Yup, understood…. Thank you, Goubayas.h.i.+-kun.”

Zelga Gladiatorial Princ.i.p.ality was a country on the East side of the Grand Ca.n.a.l, opposite from Pirika Southern Kingdom. Because the North was protected by the rigorous summit of the Beast King mountain range, it was a country where the domination of the Empire didn’t directly reach. Backing by such a circ.u.mstances, it was also the sole country in the continent to approve of slave dealing.

That the trip this time was plotted by Akai’s blood clan.

“Are you curious too? Just right, let’s go socialize a bit.”

“Well, summarize that. What do you think?”

Once it became the stage of all-out negotiation, Ryuzaki decided to talk to Welkano-s.h.i.+ one-on-one. Kyousuke and the others who accompanied him had to leave their seat.

Nekomiya said in a whisper.

“The skeleton person there, you’re the person who exterminated the sahagins some time ago, aren’t you?”

“Is not something you say at this timing. Asuka, unfas.h.i.+onable?”

Kaoru, without cutting in midway, carefully listened to it in details, and then finally, he silently nodded.

Akai, after hesitating a little, clearly nodded.

Kyousuke and the others, immediately after returning to this beach, had talked to Welkano-s.h.i.+, so Akai or Goubayas.h.i.+ had yet to talk to Kaoruko. He, while having the imps and sahagins he tamed using «Evil Eye of Fascination» watch the surroundings, seem to be continuing to be vigilance as a guard himself.

“Like I said just now, I’m going to stand watch so other merchants won’t approach while Sak.u.ma is talking, but how about you two? Stand watch together?”

“I’ll answer anything. What is it?”

“Or rather, is the story of Akai starving for blood already that famous…”

Mainly, it would be about the request to accompany the humans’ caravan that was going to embark for Albadanba after this, but knowing they were merchants, the story didn’t limited to just that. Transportation of the caterpillar unit that they had no choice but to discard at the moment, purchasing materials, etc., there were heaps of things Ryuzaki wanted to borrow their help for.

～ Part 2 ～

“As expected, what’s bothering me the most is that we look like an amazingly bizarre group judging by human’s standard.”

“That Queen? As expected, she’s not that uncouth.”

“Stop the kind of joke that I can’t laugh at. And so, Goubayas.h.i.+, I and Utsurogi are taking a stroll around here.”

A brown-skinned girl. Age was about 13, 14. Ears bouncingly protruded. Appearance-wise, she looked like Kogane, but possibly, she too was an elf.

Speaking of which, when they were at the Knight Kingdom, Kyousuke did remember Nekomiya walking around here and there in the royal palace. Because I’m in the drama club, wasn’t the reason. She probably had a character br.i.m.m.i.n.g with curiosity from the start.

Sak.u.ma said so and nodded, then pulling Akai’s hand to go looking for Kaoru. These days, he often saw Sak.u.ma was a.s.sertive with Akai. It wasn’t extreme enough to be called two-faced, but the scene where the originally introvert Sak.u.ma Sachiko pulling the Cla.s.s Queen and leaving was a little amusing to watch.

Akai, sitting gym-cla.s.s-style on the sandy beach, looked at Kaoru, and then looked at Sak.u.ma.

“Well, that’s an obvious thing though. Selena said so as well, didn’t she?”

“There’s quite a lot of information, I don’t know which of it you’re asking about though?”

Remy said so, however, Kyousuke felt that her impression was subtly different from when he saw her earlier. Just a few hours ago, she should have been wearing cloth like a tattered bag, but now she was just a little bit fas.h.i.+onable.

“Ah, yeah.”

“This caravan’s lifestyle, how are the humans in this kind of fantasy world living and such. You can’t really get a chance to interview like this just by living normally.”

Akai smiled bitterly.

“And then, the sahagins everyone got rid off. Sahagin’s tridents are popular in seaside towns as warding charms, scales are traded as material as well, so those are split equally to the remaining companies.”

“Then, Nekomiya. What do you think?”

“Me? What I think? Hmm, that’s right, isn’t it?”

That’s certainly true. I didn’t notice it before she said it.

That Welkano-s.h.i.+ was the one who managed the caravan, but the maritime caravan wasn’t a one-man organization by him alone. He too, in these last few hours, should have talked with the young merchants and gathered their opinions, but looking at their behavior, the att.i.tude of the other side might not be favorable.

Only, to explain that in words, was extremely difficult, Kyousuke thought. He was also doubting whether it was okay to carelessly tell the absurd story that they were in fact tripper.

Nekomiya spoke words that barely didn’t become a lie.

“Asuka-chan?”

After that, everyone once again went to the beach where the caravan anch.o.r.ed. While many merchants were watching with quizzical look, Ryuzaki greeted Welkano-s.h.i.+. Ryuzaki was still okay, but Goubayas.h.i.+ standing behind him while crossing his arms had an amazingly intimidating atmosphere.

Whether explaining was getting fun, a little natural gentleness was returning to her words. But then, Remy suddenly stopped speaking, and looked around to Kyousuke group. Even before a skeleton and a cait sith, she didn’t appear faltering all that much.

“Because those kids has been thinking of Asuka as friends from the bottom of their heart, they must be shock when you’re keeping a secret, so properly follow-up, okay?”

“Araa? Walls have ears, sliding doors have eyes?”

“You too, Asuka.”

Kyousuke and the cla.s.s were thinking of themselves as humans. Appearance might have changed, but heart was human. Recently, the students who said the standard unhuman joke «Although we’re not humans» was also decreasing. Well, not that there wasn’t a strange bunch like Rin, who took actions that humans absolutely couldn’t imitate yet insisting herself was human; having said that, the mentality of each of them was mostly no different from the time they were humans.

That suggestion seems like a good idea, a seemingly good idea. No, this is definitely no good.

Yup, Akai nodded, then hesitating a little and continued:

“I was sold to a slave dealer in Zelga Gladiatorial Princ.i.p.ality. In that place there was monster trading, and many individuals were trained to talk as well, so I wasn’t too surprised when seeing everyone.”

Giving a little bow, Remy ran on the sandy beach. Being left behind, Nekomiya, while watching the wooden boxes Remy had been checking until just now, asked Kyousuke.

“In the first place, a dream demon’s Phase 2 ability has been concluded to there only be one on theory.”

“Ahh, Harui and Hebitsuka…”

“There are still humans remain and are working. There’s an extraordinary young girl as well.”

“(That’s Kaoruko’s sense, right?)”

“«Brainwas.h.i.+ng Strengthening», is it? The thing that strengthens overall ability of mental interference type. Kaoru being able to make allies with incubus ability «Temptation» regardless of genders and species was thanks to this.”

“Then during that time, Akai and Sak.u.ma can talk to Kaoruko.”

Because Kyousuke was like that, these past two months when he started having conversations with various cla.s.smates was a considerably surprising incident. What he talked and understood was that «I’m not as shunned as I thought», but since delicately measuring the distance was too much for him, he was weak at conversing one-on-one with the types like Nekomiya.

“(That’s right, she may have eaten a fas.h.i.+on check)”

Sak.u.ma, exchanging looks with Akai, when Akai nodded, she started telling Kaoru one-by-one, in an orderly manner.

“Sorry. Talking in one go like this … may be difficult to accept, however…”

That Akai should be talking to Sak.u.ma and Kaoruko right now. I hope she could take back her calm a little by conversing with her best friends.

“Working hard, aren’t you? What are you doing?”

“So, Kogane-kun, Was.h.i.+o-kun is…”

That was a question Kyousuke was poor at. «Isn’t it natural to help people in need?», somehow, he just couldn’t say it by himself. Kyousuke was hesitating on how to answer, but immediately afterward, he noticed that the answer itself missed the mark.

“It’s okay, Sachi. You have held out well so far.”

“Curious?”

Words to confirm each other safety was fine with that much. Akai wasn’t the type to speak more than necessary, on that point, Kaoru was talkative, but he didn’t have the personality to continue speaking senseless things endlessly. After exchanging the minimum words necessary, neither of them said anything in particular, Sak.u.ma too, didn’t intend to say anything unnecessary.

More or less, the place didn’t even touch the presently a.s.sumed traveling route, so he didn’t think about it too deeply.

That Akai was a vampire before the transference.

Rather than that, there were mountains of things they have to tell.

Although it wasn’t something limited to just Harui and Hebitsuka, but what Sak.u.ma had seen and been worrying about the most was, as expected, the slight ditch born between these two and Akai.

“Well, it’s an honor if you say you can only show this kind of appearance to us. But Asuka, your friends are not only the two of us, don’t forget that. There are your two followers as well.”

“Nn, that’s a good reply. And then Asuka, can I ask one more thing that’s been bothering me?”
