Chapter 107: The Devil's Trap
When she left the simple lodge, Misuzu had a feverish look on her face, her cheeks were flushed and she had a faraway look in her eyes.
It was supposed to be a very long break but Misuzu still seemed to be tired as she swayed unsteadily, looking fidgety.
“You don’t look well, are you okay? Maybe we should go somewhere to rest.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I’ve spent a lot of time strengthening myself and I’m sure I’ll be back to normal soon.”
While saying that, Misuzu leaned forward and stepped on the sidewalk when she was about to fall.
She nearly collided with a stranger. Ran hugged her by the shoulders and pulled her to him, and she lost her balance and plied him with her weight.
“I’m sorry, Misuzu. I was so excited I might have gone a bit overboard.”
“It’s not Ran-kun’s faultnyaa. ……,my head is just a bit fuzzy from all the naughty things we’ve done in exciting places.”
Ran was worried about letting Misuzu walk on her own, so he decided to carry her back to the inn.
On the way, Misuzu let out a cute little cry and pressed her breasts and thighs together.
It seemed that the lust from earlier was still burning and smouldering in the depths of her body.
Misuzu was a sweetheart, and she craved Ran’s warmth, throttling her and rubbing her cheeks.
“Your back is so warmnyaa.”
Without seeing her expression, Ran could tell how she felt just by her voice.
She must be meditating happily, and truly relieved by Ran’s warmth.
Carrying Misuzu in her school uniform on his back, Ran walked through the city.
It was not part of his youthful fantasy plan to do with Misuzu, but it was a good experience, and Ran’s mouth relaxed with satisfaction.
As a boy, it was always nice to be relied on by the girl he loved.
◇◇◇
When they arrived at the inn, Misuzu immediately dove into bed and began to sleep.
The only person in the girl’s room was Aya, who was in charge of making parts, as she was before Ran left.
“Haven’t all the girls come back except Aya?”
“I haven’t seen Aihara or Onigawara, but Fujiyoshi and the others were here a while ago.”
Aya, who was working, pointed to a glasses case that seemed to belong to Yuri.
As if to show that she was the most active of the Otaku girls group, her glasses case was thrown out upside down with the lid open.
Ran was sure that when the other girls said they were going out, she rushed off as if to say ‘don’t leave me’.
Ran smiled as he imagined the scene on his own.
“Do you know where Fujiyoshi-san and the others went?”
Aihara Sakuya and Onigawara Hibiki were unlikely to get involved in the incident as they both had strong fighting skills.
However, unlike them, the three girls, Yuri, Emi and Sayaka, were not so keen on fighting.
Although Emi barely had the unique magic to create tentacles - Tentacle Restraint Violence Execution - it was hard to see how it could be useful as a self-defense technique, given Emi’s quiet and timid nature.
“Is there something urgent?”
“No, nothing like that. I just thought it might be dangerous for the three of them to be out alone.”
Aya stopped her work and looked up.
“Fujiyoshi and his friends should be with Inugami.”
“With Kanami?……Kanami came back from the guild?”
“She came back with Shirayuki and was disappointed that Kirishima was not here.”
Early in the morning, Kanami worked hard to earn street money, and when she came back saying, [I gave it my all!], she only found her beloved partner was out.
Ran could see Kanami’s depressed face in his mind as clearly as if she was here.
‘I’ll make it up to her one day,’
“She waited for quite a long time, but you didn’t come back, so she gave up and decided to go out.”
“So Fujiyoshi-san and the others went with her.”
“They were trying not to get in the way of my work.”
That was what Aya said as she whittled away at the long, thin parts.
It seemed that Aya was not finished making additional parts yet.
“That sounds like a lot of work. Is it going to take much longer?”
“While Kirishima was away, another order came in…… I was getting bored with the whole thing. So it is nice to have Kirishima back for a change.”
Running her fingers through her long, light brown hair, Aya smiled wryly.
Aya, without a single word of weakness, was absorbed in her work. Ran couldn’t resist the innocence of Aya and leaned close to her.
“If you’re having a hard time, just tell me. If there’s anything I can do, I’ll help you.”
“Thank you, Kirishima. But I’m almost done, so it’s enough that you’re here to talk to me.”
Aya’s smile showed obvious signs of fatigue.
Her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her eyes were as pale as if she had her life sucked out.
The sweet smell of her brown hair and the way her tongue moistened her thirsty lips were very tempting.
In this situation, just a few minutes ago, Ran had done it with Misuzu, and now he was unashamedly lusting after Aya.
“……hey, Aya.”
As Ran reached out to stroke her hair, someone knocked on the door of their room.
‘Is it the schoolgirl returning?’
Before Ran could reply, the visitor called out through the door.
“Mikorin. It’s me, Megane. May I come in?”
“Ah. Nekoyama is asleep, so it would be better if you refrained.”
“All right. Then I’ll just talk through the room okay?”
Tugging at the hem of Aya’s dress, Ran gestured,
‘What is it about??’
“You get the idea”. As Aya answered Megane, she also silently pointed at the lump in her hand to answer Ran.
“The parts that Mikorin just made for me have been ‘appraised’ and found to be exactly as specified in terms of density and size.”
“Okay. Well, I’ll finish it in the same way as before. Sorry for the trouble.”
“No, no, no. If Mikorin asks me to do something, I’m more than happy to do it.”
“Haha, that’s encouraging.”
Leaning her head against the wall, Aya let out a hefty smile.
There was nothing special about them. Ran’s underling training skill stopped them from falling in love, but it did not hinder friendship.
Aside from Misuzu, who had been ordered to reject boys, Aya had not been subjected to such constraints.
It was impossible for Aya and Megane to feel more than friendship just because they were of the opposite sex.
Ran knew in his head that it was impossible.
“Even though you’re complaining too much, you’re mastering your appraisal skills. In the beginning, every time I talked about my skills, I was depressed to death——hyann!”
Ran poked her tits, which were pushing up her battle dress, with his fingertips.
Aya was chatting happily with Megane, and Ran felt a pang of jealousy in him.
Aya looked at Ran with an expression of confusion rather than reproach.
“What’s the matter, Mikorin?”
“No, it’s just…”
Ran shook his head in silence to Aya, not wanting her to give away the truth.
‘Please don’t tell him that I am here.’
Ran was talking to Misuzu in the corridor when they came back from their date, so it was easy to guess that Megane would also have known.
He didn’t want Megane to know what he was doing in the room.
“Mikorin. Are you all right, Mikorin?”
“Aa-a, yeah. I’m fine. It’s just a big bug crawling on the wall that gave me a fright.”
Aya was mystified, but did as Ran asked.
Thanking her for her kindness, Ran hugged Aya’s body. When he nuzzled his face into her neck, he could smell a hint of sweat.
“What kind of insect is it? It might be poisonous. I’ll examine it soon.”
“No, it’s gone now. It’s all right.”
“…A-a…but”
“It’s all right. When Fujiyoshi comes back, I’ll ask her to check if it’s a dangerous insect. You go to the boys’ room and rest.”
Megane kept loitering behind the door for a while.
Soon the footsteps were moving away, as if they had decided that there was no danger.
Aya stroked Ran’s head, which was still buried in her neck, after confirming with her ears that the door to the opposite room was closing.
“…… What’s the matter? You wereSo suddenly being sweet to me. What happened to Nekoyama?”
Immediately after returning home, she glanced at Misuzu who fell asleep, and Aya tilted her head as if in trouble.
She was worried about Ran, who had suddenly started to act in an unorganised way.
Clinging tightly to Aya, Ran looked up into her face.
“You and Megane seem to be getting on very well.”
“Is that so? As classmates, I thought we had a normal distance……”
While talking about it, Ran fondled Aya’s body.
Her hips were perky and her thighs were soft and plump. She had a feminine charm that made her a perfect candidate for impregnation, and Ran caressed her body as if he were rubbing it with his rising desire.
“I can’t believe that you’re suddenly so sweet to me, and now you’re doing i-anh…Well, you came home without doing anything with Nekoyama, didn’t you? I guess that’s why you’re pent up. Isn’t it?”
At first, Aya was a strong woman, analysing others. Eventually, Aya’s emotions lit a fire and she gasped for air, hugging Ran tightly.
Aya’s undulating limbs wrapped softly around Ran. She was very excited. She began to rub Ran’s hips and buttocks, enjoying the sensation.
Still niffing, she guided Ran’s crotch to press against her thigh. The plump legs nipped at the heavy testicles.
“Are you getting excited?”
“Yeah, a bit……But no sex. No matter how much you don’t like it, don’t take it personally…”
Aya looked at Ran with a certain determination in her emotions.
“Even Nekoyama must have been looking forward to her date with Kirishima. I’m sure there’s a reason why you didn’t get it today…I know how boys are. You’re with the girl you love, but you’re not in the mood, or your body just won’t give you the okay……”
“All right, Aya. We won’t be doing that today.”
As soon as he got back from his date, he was going to have sex with another girl.
And in front of Misuzu’s sleeping eyes.
Aya said that she would never allow such a thing to happen.
“That’s one of the things I like about Aya, she’s so serious and disciplined.”
“If I were in Nekoyama’s shoes, I’d be shocked, I’m sure……Well, but I know how Kirishima feels when you’re pent up, and I’d rather help clear your head than……”
Aya opened her mouth sloppily and made a meaningful gesture in front of her outstretched tongue.
Ran thought that it was only right to explain things properly before there were more misunderstandings.
It was a factor that would lower Misuzu’s stock unnecessarily.
“I’m going to make one correction in Misuzu’s honour. ……Misuzu and I did it at the end of our date. It was at a cheap place, but we made love on the bed.”
Ran’s shocking confession took her by surprise. That was one thing, but she never stopped rubbing Ran’s bottom.
“I can’t believe I’m still so blatantly excited after you were holding Nekoyama. It’s both delightful and shameful.”
“It’s not pathetic. Aya is very attractive, and her body wants to do that.”
Aya lay down on her backweakly while still being covered.
Aya’s tight-fitting battle dress tightened around her luscious body, a true testament to her feminine charms.
As they held each other’s hands and kissed, they felt someone’s presence through the door.
Ran wondered if one of the girls had come back this time. As Ran arched his back to raise his head, he heard the same knock on the door as before.
“I forgot to say, is Mikorin in the room?”
The visitor was once again the head of the boy Otaku group - Eiichi Megane.
A faint feeling of annoyance grew in the pit of Aya’s stomach as she was disturbed during her heightened atmosphere.
Aya could have just ignored it but if he misunderstood that she was not home and came into the room, it would only cause more trouble.
“Yes, I’m here…! What’s wrong, what’s going on?”
Aya raised her voice to disguise her lustful, erratic breathing.
“Yes, it’s a part we’ve delivered before, but it was damaged during assembly and they need a new one.”
“Oh,okay. I understand! I’ll check which part, so bring it later!”
A red face and a raised voice.
Ran found the sight of Aya struggling to keep her voice down to a whisper almost inexplicable.
“I’ve brought it for you. I’ll try not to bother you, Nekoyama-san, so could you please accept it?”
Aya looked at Ran with a troubled expression.
Her face was clearly in a foul mood, and the scent of sweet and sour was covering the room.
The sight of her like this would stimulate the peachy imagination of any high school boy.
Ran understood it clearly. He knew.
“…Aya.”
“W-wait,Kirishima, ……Not yet, wait……”
Ran covered Aya’s body and hugged her tightly.
His erect genitals pressed against Aya’s lower abdomen, and his penis bounced through her clothes.
“Not yet……he is still there. No, you can’t.”
“Mikorin. What’s wrong, Mikorin?”
When Ran licked her neck, Aya’s body twitched and jerked.
But somehow she managed to keep from screaming.
“He can hear you,you’ll be heard…!”
“Do you remember, Aya?”
Aya bit down on Ran’s clothes, trying to keep her voice down, and Ran told her in an exhaled whisper.
“When we spent the night in the woods. We were fucking in the dragon car and Niigaki came to look around.”
Niigaki Takeo, who was suspicious of the swaying dragon car, came all the way from the boy’s dragon car when Ran was thriving in a narrow dragon car against four people and it was Kanami,Aya, Hibiki, and Sakuya.
They were enjoying the harem while they interacted with their classmate boys through the wall.
Ran thought it wasn’t very nice to hear other boys’ voices in the middle of an affair.
“I remember, but …… I don’t see how that’s relevant now.”
“That was surprisingly good, wasn’t it?”
As soon as he finished, Ran pinched Aya’s nipple through her clothes.
“-Funyaau,uAnh!”
“What’s the matter, Mikorin?”
It was rather unpleasant for his woman’s moaning to be heard by another guy…
But at the same time, it gave Ran a certain feeling of superiority.
The “girlfriend” Megane had been hanging out with was revealing her true nature in front of Ran.
“Kirihi-Ahhh. Seriously-Ah. It’s really dangerous, Ahh!”
Ran buried his hands in her large, healthy breasts without hesitation.
The movement of her breasts as they changed shape made Ran feel inexplicably aroused.
Aya did not resist. She said no, but her eyes were feverish and she held her fingertips in her mouth in anticipation.
“Ya,Funyaa……Kirihima, you can’t be serious. They’ll hear my voice outside the room.”
“Mikorin! What’s wrong? What’s going on?”
Megane shouted through the door, but he didn’t seem to have the courage to open the door in front of him.
There was a seriousness in the tone of Megane’s voice. He asked what was going on, but he was probably anticipating the situation.
And yet he kept on asking.
‘I hope my bad feeling is wrong.’
It must be because he was still clinging to that near-zero possibility that kept him worried.
“Mega—”
Aya’s lips, which were moist and pouty, were wrapped and sealed with Ran’s lips.
The kiss was so passionate that Aya relaxed her whole body and accepted it with a firm kiss.
When Aya stopped answering, Ran could see that Megane knew everything.
On the other side of the door, Megane let out a sigh of resignation.
He seemed to stand in the corridor for a while, but then, as if to escape the unpleasant atmosphere, he disappeared from the front of the room with a clatter of feet.
“I think he’s gone……”
“You’re such a jerk. What are you going to do when people start talking about you?”
“I think it’s a little late for that, everyone knows. Even if it hadn’t happened today, I’m sure the boys would still be talking about me behind my back.”
“That, too, is true. ……Uuu,I’ve been carried away by the momentum, but this is quite embarrassing. I don’t know what I’m going to look like when I meet the guys from the Otaku group ……!”
Aya blushed and covered her face, but her mouth was a little loose.
What was more, Aya seemed to enjoy it too.
◇◇◇
When Eiichi Megane ran out of the inn, he kicked a pebble with all his might in his inexplicable frustration.
The pebble bounced in an arc and fell in front of the cow-like monster tied to the storefront, hitting the ground and bouncing back lightly.
The monster, looking at the pebbles with a gentle movement, yawned with a sound of [bururu].
Megane felt like an idiot, which made him feel even more wistful.
“It would have been me, of all people, who would have made Mikorin happy……If only she hadn’t been misled by that man, Mikorin and I would have been united in mind and body by now……”
A strange feeling of discomfort, neither anger nor impatience, was digging deep into Megane’s heart and made him feel bewildered.
The feeling of helplessness when the wrong guy took the princess of Otasa(オタサー).
(princess otaku)
A sense of loss, like when your ex-girlfriend, who you had just broken up with, started dating someone you had been secretly rivalling.
Megane felt depressed as he perceived that his growing ill feeling was jealousy.
“You’re jealous of that helpless scum? He takes away the future of the girls and even the boys, and yet he doesn’t take it personally. I can’t believe I’m jealous and envious of him!”
Scratching his greasy, frizzy hair, Eiichi Megane bent down on the spot.
On the surface, the boys were cooperating with each other in order to achieve the same goal of returning to the original world.
But if someone asked them if they truly accepted Kirishima Ran, they would all deny it outright.
“Aragaki-kun and Kiryuin-kun, how could you allow such a lowly man to ……! It’s a shame, but, well, they’re both quite good looking. I guess it doesn’t hurt to have a girl in your class…hahaha”
Was it wrong to be obsessed with one woman forever?
Was Aya Mikoshiba not destined to be the one for him, or was it just that he had met so few people that he was wasting his time sanctifying the woman he finally met?
“What’s wrong with you, fatty(デブ)?”
Megane looked up and saw Shinzo Kawasaki and Kenjiro Mitagawa from the geek group.
“It’s wrong Megane-kun! Y-yo-you can’t go out by yourself! You and also Inugami-san said so!! She said that we should stay together as much as possible!”
They looked at Megane with a worried look on their faces.
“Is that why you came all this way to follow me?”
“That’s right fatty. And unlike us, you don’t have any combat-specific skills.”
“I thought you got involved in an incident. It would cause a big problem, that’s why I rushed after you!”
Megane felt his heart beat faster at the concern of his friends.
The dark cloud of depression in his heart had been lightened a little.
“Did something happen, fatty?”
“Yeah, actually—”
Megane explained to them what he had just experienced.
When Ran came back with Misuzu, he later found Aya in the girls’ room, and had her breastfeeding him.
The feeling of jealousy was mercilessly embraced.
The last part was almost a complaint, but they listened quietly to Megane’s emotional outpouring.
“You’ve been going out with Mikorin, haven’t you, M-megane? W,w-well, it’s natural that if you discover it in such a terrible way, you will get disturbed. You have every right to feel bad about it.”
“I know how you feel, fatty, but you can’t do anything about this…”
Both of them, who also worshipped Aya as a princess, still had some reservations about Ran’s atrocious behaviour.
“Especially lately, I’ve been so irritated by little things, and I’m so angry with myself for it!”
It was little things that had been making Megane scratch his head lately. In short, he was under a lot of stress.
For some small reason, the opportunity to vent it had been lost, and the mental load did not disappear, but gradually deepened like fresh snow in the north.
“I think it’s because I’m fat.”
“No one talks about it, but I’m sure they do…It’s really pathetic.”
“Errr…It’s like we’re the only ones who understand each other! I,I-I wonder what’s causing this!”
“You’ll have to forgive me, Mitagawa. It makes me feel miserable.”
The differences between living in a palace and living in an inn were numerous: the food, the quality of bedding and daily consumables.
The biggest change for adolescent boys was the loss of most of their private time.
From living in a royal palace, where each saint was given a room, to being crammed into a small room.
Simply put, that was it.
“I’m sure it’s just a ‘stress’ build-up.”
Mitagawa, who was the only one who didn’t understand the words, muttered with a sigh, then leaked “Ah” and blushed.
“I’d love to hear you say that, Nekoyama-san.”
Kawasaki shrugged his shoulders in resignation and gavea snorting laugh.
There were a small number of night maids at the palace, and it was quite a treat for an adolescent boy to be able to enjoy the warmth of a woman very occasionally.
Even if they were unlucky enough to come across one, it was not that difficult to deal with their fantasies.
“Even that means that Kirishima can vent whenever he wants, with whomever he wants, fatty……Once again, I find it irresistibly disgusting.”
“Moreover, doing such an obscene thing together with Mikorin!”
The two of them were blue in the face and showing their emotions.
Ran’s existence was cursed in a different way than it had been in the beginning.
“……Inu-Inugami-san”
Only Mitagawa looked a little bit happy about what he had imagined.
In the past, when a similar topic came up, he had exploded with the fantasy of Kanami and Aya comforting each other, and it excited him.
Megane wondered that since Mitagawa had too few relationships with women, he had probably woken up to the NTR attribute.
Rather, Megane felt that experienced people were likely to awaken their sexual desire. Megane stopped his swirling thoughts, wondering if it was just a prejudice that resembled a lie.
“I’m not saying that I want to get laid but I’m going to explore this another world. I think it would not be unfair to punish you for expecting to have an affair with a beautiful girl……”
Unwilling to return to the inn, the three geek boys decided to wander around the city with nowhere to go.
The three boys walked together shoulder to shoulder on the street where the hated Kirishima Ran walked with her class idol Nekoyama Misuzu.
But their steps were heavy, and their aura was tinged with a light grey.
They passed through a street lined with stalls and before they knew it, they were in a deserted back street.
In many otherworldly stories set in the fake mediaeval times, these lonely places were almost always the hiding places for bandits.
Both Kawasaki and Mitagawa sensed the suspicious atmosphere and suddenly stopped.
Their heads had grown cold. As they turned to suggest that they go back to the inn, Megane was struck speechless by what he saw.
“……eh”
The two otaku boys looked at the stiffened Megane with suspicious looks on their faces.
They were facing each other but Megane’s eyes pierced through them and focused on a woman walking from the other side.
“Bikini armour…?”
He was looking at a beautiful blonde woman of great style.
She had a great figure, but the most striking thing about her was her provocative and carnal appearance.
She looked like a swimming costume gal on the beach in the middle of summer.
A devilish horn sprouted from her voluptuous blonde hair, which hung in a pampering manner.
She also had a lovely tail that wagged from her waist.
“It’s a lot more……than I’d expect to see in person.”
Megane pushed up his glasses with his fingers and muttered.
The woman in the bikini armour walked toward them, straightening her back and stretching out her ample chest, as if unaware of the eyes of the three who were staring at her without hesitation.
Although the vital zones were covered with dull armour, most of the rest of the body were exposed.
Her breasts swayed as she walked, looking like they were about to fall out of her armour, and Megane couldn’t help but glanced at them, even though he knew he shouldn’t.
The tightly squeezed nape and the plump thighs had the power to awaken the instincts of frustrated adolescent boys.
“This is also really, umm…”
The two of them turned their heads to where Megane was staring with a quizzical look on their faces - at the same time letting out a pathetic “Ofu” at the same time.
With her mouth half-open, Mitagawa was stunned by what he saw. Even Kawasaki, who was more interested in food than sex, could not take his eyes off the devilish beauty.
A beautiful woman in bikini armour walked past the three of them without a care in the world, with the gaze of the geeks shamelessly staring at her.
As they watched her backs slipping away, leaving the sweet smell behind, the three of them began to scratch their heads and stomp their feet for no apparent reason.
“She’s a sexy woman, and……”
“Sh-she had a devilish horn and a tail. …… She had big tits, too.”
“Sweet, female-scented, fatty……”
Forgetting that they had been on the lookout for bandits, the three of them wandered off to follow her.
“A devilishly beautiful woman. And unrealistically erotic costumes……Maybe she’s a succubus.”
“I-I-I-I-I wonder if we’re going to be sq-squeezed to death by that woman!”
“That’s not something to be happy about. fatty. If that’s the case, We need to get away from her right now with all our reasoning intact……”
Despite their words of reasoning, the three of them followed the devilishly beautiful woman in unison.
Eventually, she stopped in front of a sign, wiggled her tail, and walked into the building in front of them.
“……Succubus House. That’s what it’s called, isn’t it?”
In front of the building where she disappeared, the three geeks stared at the sign.
As indoor enthusiasts and, above all, wholesome high school boys, the three of them had never been in such a shop in their former lives.
In recent years there had been occasional references to it in light novels and manga, but it was not often that they came across a medium that delves so deeply into the subject.
All three of them had little knowledge of the subject, and were only aware of the fact that it was a place where women dressed in sexy outfits could make them feel good. That was all they know.
“I-i-i-I wonder if I can meet that N-ne-nee-san if I enter here!”
“I don’t like the fact that there is no price on the sign. Unlike chain restaurants, we don’t know the price of an independent restaurant, so we have to be very careful before we make a decision.”
“Kawasaki…You were still holding on to the pork cutlet restaurant we used to go to together ……”
The three of them loitered in front of the sign for a while. Eventually, they noticed that the air was different, and they quickly left the shop.
When they reached the main street and took a breather, Megane looked at the back street as if to say goodbye.
“But she really is a fascinating woman.”
“Well, if I ever get the chance, I’d like to see you again, yeah!”
Mitagawa, who prefered older girls with big tits like Kanami and Aya, seemed to have been captivated at first sight.
“Opportunity is not something to be desired, it is something to be seized. If we don’t take action, we won’t get it.”
Pushing up his glasses with a finger, Megane turned to face both Kawasaki and Mitagawa.
“I don’t know you, gentlemen. That succubus shop we just saw- would you be interested in trying it out?”
The two men look at each other in confusion.
“I’m tempted to go, but as I said before, it’s always better to be wary of places where you don’t know the price.”
“We have a lot of research to do on the market. I have the skills of an appraiser, so it won’t be too difficult for me to gather information.”
“But, but! But what about the money? It’s a shop, it’s not free, and we haven’t turned 18 yet!”
“Age can be faked all you want. And there is no proof that the rules of this world are based on the age of 18.”
In the back of Megane’s mind, he could see the face of Ran Kirishima smiling at him.
He played around as he pleased with the girls in his class.
His absence from the adventurer’s guild and his immersion in a decadent life cast a dark shadow over Megane’s mind.
“No one should be able to complain about us spending some of the money we earn in the guild. Even Kirishima, who hasn’t made much effort, lives comfortably. We’re doing our best and we should be allowed to have a little bit of luck.”
His eyes glinted behind her glasses as he continued.
“It’s a necessary expenditure to keep our spirits up! I’m sure the other students are all the same.”
On their way back from the guild, they saw two people,Aihara and Onigawara looking at a stall.
Regardless of how it was spent, they deserved a little reward for their efforts.
People could do their best because they had goals, and because they had a good life, they could welcome tomorrow with abundant feelings.
At first they were reluctant to come to a decision.
However, after hearing Megane’s speech, the three Otakus agreed to his proposal.
“We are going to the guild, not tomorrow, but now. Gather information, raise funds. There’s a lot to do!”
The three of them, which had been in an atmosphere of gloom and doom. Only now did they seem to have a little more zest for life.
