Chapter 102: Succubus Everywhere, Because Why Not
Dust, Lynn, and I stepped into the large training room inside my mansion. Dust and Lynn who never stepped into the room, couldn't help but look around in curiosity.
"Whoa… so this is Aqua sama's training room," Lynn said in wonder. She looked at the instruments at the corner of the room and a shelf full of papers. "Is this where you practice your performance?"
"Sometimes,"
"You used these during the war at the capital right? The music reaches all the way to the front line…" Dust took a closer look at all the magical sound amplifier in the room. "This must cost you quite a fortune."
"One million smile?"
We turned around and saw Lynn picking up a piece of paper on a table. She turned to us before hastily putting back the paper where she found it.
"Sorry," she cleared her throat. "Anyway, isn't there something you want to tell me?"
…
With that, we sat down on the carpeted floor with me facing Dust and Lynn.
"Alright Lynn, here's an easy question, have you noticed that the crime for Sexual Harassment in Axel City is extremely low? Not a single one of the female adventurers has ever been hit on by the guys?"
Lynn nodded a little. "Yes… it's a mystery isn't it? It isn't like this back in the capital…"
"That's right, all male adventurers in Axel City are gentlemen. They will not hit on girls, you can even sleep with them on the stables and they won't do anything to you, at least, when they're not drunk."
The mage nodded in agreement. "Yes, our party bankrupted once and I was forced to sleep with everyone. But no one really do anything indecent…"
"There is a reason for this," I told her. "I will tell you the reason and judging by how you take it, I will erase your memory. Are you fine with that?"
"I'm fine with it, you can erase my memory if you want…"
I smiled a little and turned to Dust. "Okay Dust, you tell her,"
"What? I'm not telling her about it! You tell her!"
"I'm a married man, I can't speak about it,"
"What does that have anything to do with it?"
"Well, for one, I don't have to go there anymore. So I don't know how the situation is like now,"
Dust groaned a little and turned to Lynn who looked increasingly anxious. "Okay Lynn, I will tell you… the truth is…"
And so, the Dragon Knight told her everything. About the existence of the Succubus Cafe and their symbiotic relationship with the male adventurers of Axel City. At the end of it, Lynn sat there with red face and slightly at loss of words.
"So… you're saying that… the male adventurers, they're all…"
"They've been screwing all female adventurers in their dreams, basically," I said simply.
Lynn then turned to Dust and looked at him in embarrassment. "And you… you do it too?"
Dust held up his hand. "I swear to Paradox, I've never asked for you. I usually asked for the Succubus Lady herself so I can legally sexually harass her in my dream."
Lynn eyed him suspiciously before sighing. "Okay… I understand why you guys kept this a secret. I mean…" she shuddered a little. "It felt like most adventurers here already knows how I looked like naked and…"
"You feel violated huh?"
"Yes! Even though it wasn't me, it's still…" Lynn groaned and put a hand on her head. "Ahh, talk about forbidden knowledge, my life would've been much better if I never knew about this…"
"You want to forget about this?"
"No, I can handle it…" Lynn took a deep breath to calm herself. "So… what does this have to do with Chris?"
"Well, do you remember how Chris turned into bloodthirsty beserker at the sight of devils, demons, and undeads?"
"Oh… You're saying that sooner or later, Chris will know about this right?"
"Yes, that's why I need to help her get over her hatred before someone gets hurt. Without the Succubus Cafe, sexual crime rate will skyrocket and you won't sleep as easily anymore."
"By 'you' you mean all female adventurers right?"
I averted my gaze. "Well some are more so than others…"
"Wh-what?"
"I'm friend with the manager and she gave me the top hundred picks every month," I told her. "You're in it for the last two months, for your sake, I will not tell you your current rank."
Lynn lowered her gaze. "I don't know if I should feel flattered or disgusted…" she muttered to herself.
"To be fair, your total is the combination between Lynn and the Pope of Neo Axis Order."
"That's enough sensei, I feel like vomiting right now…"
I chuckled a little. "Sorry, sorry, anyway back to the matters at hand," I cleared my throat. "Vanir informed me that the key to this problem lies in Darkness's upcoming wedding.."
"Wedding?" they both asked.
"I'm not sure either, apparently Darkness still have secrets she kept from me," I told them. "You guys know that she's a noble right?"
"Really?"
"Okay, now you know, she's the Dustiness Ford Lalatina. Vanir said she will have a marriage soon, I don't know what kind, could be political, blackmail, and similar. That's what I'm meaning to figure out, before it's made official…"
Lynn looked down in deep thought. "Hmm… I think I know someone who can help us…"
"Who?"
"I know a friend who is also a noble," Lynn cast an evil smirk at Dust. "I even know exactly how to coax him into doing everything we want,"
Dust wavered a little under her stare. "Uhh… Lynn, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Fufufu… time for you to have a taste of how I feel right now…"
