Chapter 39: Something Like That Only Happens Because You’re a Handsome Guy, An Enemy of Mankind!

(If I just look at the face of the target I want to appraise and chant "Activate Sexual Appraisal" in my mind, it activates, and if I chant "Deactivate Sexual Appraisal," it deactivates, huh.)

Just as the explanation stated, Kazui looked at Yuri and chanted in his mind.

(Activate Sexual Appraisal! Is this how it works?)

Then both of Kazui’s eyes began to emit a faint blue light so subtle that it was hard to notice under the sunlight.

It was the light that served as proof that an appraisal-type skill had been activated.

After a few seconds passed, various pieces of information began to be displayed in Kazui’s field of vision.

The results of Sexual Appraisal started appearing mainly as information in glowing characters.

(Is this the appraisal result? It really came out!)

Excited, Kazui went through Yuri’s appraisal results.

Then, upon seeing the results, he raised a voice of surprise.

"It says you have zero experience with women and that you’re a virgin... is that accurate?"

"It’s accurate. I’ve been saying I was a virgin from the beginning, haven’t I?"

Yuri, who had always claimed to be a virgin himself, spoke in a somewhat low voice because saying it in front of two women was embarrassing.

"You really were a virgin..."

Muttering with a look of surprise, Kazui checked the other parts.

He noticed the part that said experience with men was one person, but deliberately ignored it.

"Kiss experience is nine people, and one of them is male... that must be me, right? Is that correct?"

"It’s correct." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

Looking embarrassed, Yuri answered.

"You... should have three ex-girlfriends, and including your current girlfriend that makes four girlfriends, right? Don’t the numbers not match?"

"Even if you’re not dating, you still kiss sometimes, don’t you?"

"No way!"

Kazui immediately denied it in a strong tone.

"Something like that only happens because you’re a handsome guy — an enemy of mankind!"

Kazui wanted to throw various other words at Yuri as well.

However, reason worked and told him he should not do so in front of the women who were their benefactors, so he somehow managed to hold back and not say them out loud.

Incidentally, Kazui himself had experience kissing a childhood-friend girl he had not been dating.

However, that had been when they were small children, so he did not include it in the count and had said "No way!"

(Deactivate Sexual Appraisal!)

When Kazui chanted that in his mind, the Sexual Appraisal results in his field of vision disappeared.

At the same time the light in both of his eyes also vanished, though he himself could not tell.

Having deactivated Sexual Appraisal, Kazui spoke to Ebony and Ivory, who were showing surprised expressions.

"It seems it really is the same skill the succubus was using."

"I see. But... deciding based on testing it on just one person might be a bit hasty."

Looking interested, Ivory continued.

"Try Sexual Appraisal on me and Ebony as well."

Hearing Ivory’s words, not only Kazui and Yuri but even Ebony were surprised.

"Me too?"

"Trying it on three people rather than two would be more certain, right?"

With a calm expression, Ivory continued.

"Besides, ’Repay the kindness received from seniors to the juniors’... have you forgotten our style?"

What Ivory had said carried the meaning of "Repay the kindness received from seniors to the juniors."

In short, the style of Iron Maiden was to properly look after juniors and new adventurers.

"Well... that’s true."

Because she herself had been helped in various ways by senior adventurers when she was a newcomer, Ebony accepted Ivory’s assertion.

Even though receiving Sexual Appraisal was embarrassing.

"Fine, appraise me too."

"Thank you... I won’t hold back and will try it."

Although he felt a little bad toward Ebony, who was his benefactor, Kazui decided to try Sexual Appraisal on her as well.

He wanted to confirm just how capable his own Sexual Appraisal was.

"I’ll go first. I’m the one who suggested it, after all."

Nodding at Ivory’s words, Kazui stared at her while chanting in his mind.

(Activate Sexual Appraisal!)

Then both of Kazui’s eyes began to emit a faint blue light.

After a short pause, the results of Sexual Appraisal on Ivory were displayed in his field of vision as glowing characters.

Looking at Ivory’s Sexual Appraisal results, Kazui’s eyes widened in surprise and he involuntarily let out a voice.

"Eh? For real?"

"What kind of appraisal results did you get?"

Looking interested, Ivory asked Kazui.

"There’s no point unless we confirm whether they’re accurate or not, so try telling me what kind of results came out."

"Is that okay? Then... I think it would be better if the others don’t hear..."

Kazui stood up, walked over to Ivory, and brought his face close to her left ear.

Having to bring his face close to an attractive adult woman made his heart flutter a little as he whispered into Ivory’s ear.

"You’re bisexual... zero experience with men, five with women. Kisses are only with women, and that number is forty-nine."

Hearing Kazui’s whispered voice, Ivory showed a surprised expression.

"Your mouth is sensitive, and you like acts involving the mouth... like kissing and that sort of thing... that’s the general idea."

He had learned various other things as well, but even though it was a whisper, they were contents that were difficult to say to a woman who was his benefactor.

Therefore, without voicing those, Kazui moved his mouth away from Ivory’s ear.

"...Amazing. Everything is accurate."

In truth, Ivory herself did not remember the exact number of women she had kissed.

However, she herself recognized that it was roughly around the number Kazui had spoken.

Regarding the other information, everything had been accurate.

"Really?"

Looking a little tense, Ebony asked.

"Really. She saw through the fact that I’m a virgin, that I’m bisexual and have only experience with women, and that I like kissing — everything."

Hearing Ivory calmly state it herself, Kazui was also surprised, but Yuri was even more surprised.

The surprise of Yuri, who had learned of it through what Ivory said, was greater than the surprise of Kazui, who had already known it through Sexual Appraisal.
