Chapter 30: I Feel Like Kazu Is Better Off Than Me, Who Ended Up Losing My Virginity Before I Could Even Lose My Cherry…

"Once we finish eating, let’s go meet them."

Yuri invited Kazui.

"Both of them were worried about you, Kazu, and they told me to bring you over once you regained consciousness. So we should properly show them that you’re safe."

With his mouth still full of meat pie, Kazui simply nodded in agreement without speaking. After swallowing the pie and drinking some milk, he opened his mouth again.

"...So, what happened after I lost consciousness?"

Kazui had still barely heard from Yuri about the events after he blacked out. From his perspective, that was the part he wanted to know about more.

Yuri took a sip of milk, then began recounting what happened after Kazui lost consciousness.

"The success rate was low, but after about three hours, your treatment succeeded..."

The treatment itself had succeeded, but Ivory’s assessment was that it would take anywhere from half a day to a full day for consciousness to return. Therefore, after the treatment finished, the three of them — Ebony, Ivory, and Yuri — decided to let Kazui rest in a safe place.

By the time the three of them brought Kazui near Aquila’s walls, the city defense battle against the brigade had already ended. With the reinforcement provided by Iron Maiden, the monster brigade had been cleaned up with surprising ease.

The three of them carried Kazui to the apartment and laid him down in the bedroom. After that, Yuri stayed to watch over him, while Ebony and Ivory returned to their companions.

Thanks to Iron Maiden’s support, there were miraculously no deaths in the battle against the brigade. There had, however, been a considerable number of injuries and damage to buildings.

Yuri had been told by Ivory that although Kazui was slow to regain consciousness, there was nothing wrong with his body. That was why Yuri judged that having sex before Kazui woke up would make it easier to return to a male body.

He felt it would be better to do it with his best friend Kazui rather than with some other man. While thinking it was wrong, Yuri still began having sex with the sleeping Kazui in order to return to a male body.

Then, right in the middle of the act, Kazui woke up... That was the story Yuri told.

"Cleaning up that brigade so easily... Iron Maiden is amazing..." 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

With a surprised expression, Kazui continued.

"Ebony-san was unbelievably strong, too. That eight-ring-crest succubus couldn’t do a thing against her."

"Ebony-san is a Martial God, after all. Of course she’s strong."

Hearing Yuri’s words, Kazui recalled how Vice had judged Ebony to be a Martial God adventurer.

At that time, Vice had instantly used an appraisal skill and learned that Ebony was a Martial God — a class only available to those over Level 100. Ivory had been far away, so Vice could not confirm her with appraisal.

However, from the skillful timing with which she activated the powerful holy magic that protected Kazui, Vice had deduced that she was probably a Grand Mage.

"Ivory-san is a Grand Mage too. The party known as Ebony & Ivory is quite famous, apparently."

Just as Yuri said, Ebony & Ivory was a well-known party in the adventurer industry. Among adventurer classes, there existed special classes that only those who exceeded Level 100 could attain.

Martial God for martial artists and Grand Mage for mages were such special classes. In other words, both Ebony and Ivory were among the rare adventurers who had surpassed Level 100.

Both Ebony and Ivory were celebrities known to many adventurers. Because only half a year had passed since Kazui and Yuri came to this world, they were not very familiar with the adventurer industry, so this incident was the first time they learned of their existence.

The company Iron Maiden, to which Ebony & Ivory belonged, was staffed with quite skilled female adventurers, even if none quite reached the pair’s level. Iron Maiden itself, though small in scale, was one of the most famous companies.

In truth, Aquila’s Adventurers Guild had originally intended to request reinforcements from the guild of the nearest city. However, the adventurer who went to make the request happened to encounter Iron Maiden’s terrestrial ship.

There, the Aquila adventurer requested that Iron Maiden come to Aquila’s aid. Iron Maiden accepted the request, pushed their terrestrial ship hard, and rushed to Aquila at full speed.

"Since we’re going to thank them, we should buy some kind of souvenir first, right? Maybe we should take some meat pies."

Hearing Kazui’s words, Yuri gave him a half-lidded, exasperated look and declared:

"No way. Meat pies are not appropriate as a souvenir for women."

"Why not? They’re a local specialty of Aquila, you know."

"They may be a specialty, but greasy, high-calorie, salty food isn’t suitable for women. That’s exactly why you’re unpopular and a virgin— ah!"

Mid-sentence, Yuri realized.

Kazui was already no longer a virgin.

"Come to think of it, you’re not a virgin anymore."

"Well... since the partners were a succubus and... you, if I could go back, I’d actually want to be a virgin again."

With a bitter expression, Kazui grumbled. Even though he had once wanted to lose his virginity, he now sincerely wished he could return to being one.

"I feel like Kazu is better off than me, who ended up losing my virginity before I could even lose my cherry..."

Yuri also grumbled with a bitter expression. The two of them awkwardly looked at each other, then let out deep, weary sighs.
