Chapter 43: Isn’t That Great, Kazu! Even If It Was with a Succubus, You Got to Lose Your Virginity!

"You... don’t tell me you told someone from the Guild that I was attacked by a succubus?"

Glaring at Yuri, Kazui asked.

"I didn’t... and neither did Ebony-san or Ivory-san tell anyone from the Guild."

After denying it, Yuri explained the reason why the rumor that Kazui had been violated by a succubus had spread among the Guild members.

"The adventurer who first discovered the Brigadier-class reported to the Guild that the Brigadier-class was a succubus. And then..."

The first to discover the Brigadier-class was the female adventurer Harty, who had been conducting guerrilla warfare in the forest.

After becoming separated from Zaskia and the others, Harty realized that the true identity of the Brigadier-class was a succubus.

After Kazui was abducted by Vice and Yuri took off from in front of the wall in pursuit of Kazui and Vice, Harty arrived in front of the wall.

Through Harty, the information that the Brigadier-class was a succubus was brought to the adventurers who had been in front of the wall.

At that time, the Guild-side adventurers already knew that Kazui had been abducted by the Brigadier-class.

Therefore, the Guild adventurers were able to speculate that Kazui had been attacked... and violated by a succubus.

Furthermore, because the treatment of Kazui by Ivory and the others took about three hours, the scene of the treatment was discovered by adventurers on the Aquila side.

Some of the adventurers had seen the figure of Kazui, who was in a near-death state... and completely naked, receiving treatment.

Naturally, the adventurers were able to surmise that Kazui had been violated by a succubus, fallen into a near-death state, and was receiving treatment from Ivory and the others.

As a result, those adventurers became the source, and the story that Kazui had been violated by a succubus and received recovery while naked from Ivory and the others spread as a rumor.

As for Yuri, the scene of him feminizing and heading off to save Kazui had been witnessed by many adventurers.

Some among them knew of the existence of Leonization, so the fact that Yuri was a holder of Leonization became known at that point.

Information about what kind of skill Leonization was also spread.

Therefore, upon seeing Yuri already returned to being a man, the adventurers could roughly figure out what had happened.

Having had things they did not want known become known and turn into rumors, Kazui and Yuri walked toward the counter while feeling awkward.

"Isn’t that great, Kazu! Even if it was with a succubus, you got to lose your virginity!"

A female adventurer sitting at a table seat threw teasing words at Kazui.

She was a pale-skinned, tall woman with impressive sky-blue short hair and eyes.

She could be called a boyish beauty, but her features looked severe and gave off a prickly impression.

Because she was wearing a midnight-blue martial arts uniform, it was clear at a glance that she was a martial artist.

Her apparent age was around twenty.

(Monica, huh... a troublesome person is here.)

Glancing at the female adventurer who had called out — Monica Fallon — Kazui showed a weary expression.

"You’ve been saying you wanted to lose your virginity for a long time, after all!"

In a mocking tone, Monica continued.

"Someone as weak as you, Kazu, might have died still a virgin, but now at least you’ve avoided dying a virgin, so you’re happy, right?"

Some of the adventurers in the lobby raised vulgar laughter.

Kazui had often made self-deprecating jokes about the fact that he was a virgin, not only yesterday.

Adventurers such as Monica had overheard such jokes, so they knew that Kazui had been a virgin until he experienced it with a succubus.

(I shouldn’t have made those virgin jokes...)

In a weary mood, Kazui grumbled in his heart.

However, he was not the type to just take it without fighting back.

"I’m so happy! The succubus was a much better woman than someone like you!"

Putting on a brave front, Kazui retorted to Monica in a vigorous voice.

"I got to hold such a great woman, lose my virginity, and not die, so I’m lucky!"

Monica glared at Kazui with a look of frustration.

Being told that she was inferior as a woman to a monster succubus had clearly offended her.

The male adventurers showed mixed reactions.

It was a common belief among male adventurers that succubi were extremely sexually attractive beings for men.

There were not a few who, in their true feelings, envied Kazui for having sex with such a succubus and surviving.

Of course, they only thought it in their hearts and did not say it out loud.

Having retorted to Monica, Kazui continued walking toward the counter as if to say he had no intention of dealing with her any further.

"After losing your virginity to a succubus... next is with your male friend, huh? You’re so popular!"

A voice that sounded somewhat more childish than Monica’s but similar flew toward Kazui.

A girl who had walked over from the direction of the counter called out to him.

She had the same hair and eye color as Monica, but unlike Monica’s somewhat wavy short hair, the girl had medium-length hair in twin tails.

Her features also resembled Monica’s, and the color of her martial arts uniform was the same midnight blue as Monica’s.

The girl’s apparent age looked younger than Monica’s and seemed around the same as Kazui’s.

Her height was not as tall as Monica’s and was about the same as Kazui’s.

(Well... if Monica is here, then Nicola is here too, of course.)

While looking at the approaching girl, Nicola Fallon, with half-lidded eyes, Kazui let out a sigh in his heart.
