Chapter 128.1 - Reina A Ayase and The Men
Chapter 128.1 - Reina A Ayase and The Men
A few days had passed since the conversation between Yamajun and Airi. For now, Airi had followed his advice to spend more time with the trio which she neglected until now.
Though Yamada was clearly dissatisfied with Airi's decision, he seemed to have learned more self-control after his friend, Yamajun talked with him.
You should do that faster. In fact, Yamajun might felt that the party had started to regain its balance.
Himeno Airi, a lone woman amid a pack of wolves(men), someone who should be the most troubled by that kind of situation had the power to lead these wolves by the nose with her glib tongue and body. In spite of that, she was still willing to lend her ears to Yamajun's opinion. She turned the disadvantageous situation into an advantageous one with her wits.
Naturally, not just any girl could pull out such a feat. The men were lured by the women who protect their chastity. The said woman couldn't avoid the jealousy of the other men in the case she gave her body to the others. In Airi's case, she managed to avoid such a situation despite fooling around with four men.
At least in Yamajun's knowledge, there was no girl in 2-7 who behaved like the current Airi. The reason might be that her hidden talent had blossomed and she had gained some sort of mysterious ability that allowed her to act like a succubus, miraculously manipulating the men by the nose.
「Or else, it's some sort of will from the God of this world…」
Yamajun could only make such speculations since there's no way to prove his theory.
But, if the fate of the students of 2-7 who were summoned to another world was clasped in the hand of God, the way they’d reunite should be up to God too.
And such a thing happened when they're in the middle of resting in the fairy plaza.
Even though they only met their classmates by chance up until now, this was the first time they saw someone teleported into the fairy plaza.
In front of the water fountain, in the center of the plaza, a magic circle suddenly appeared along with dazzling light. The party who had the experience with transfer magic could tell from the pattern of the magic circle that it was a transfer magic circle.
That magic circle danced on the lawn as it kept flickering with white light. Everyone in the plaza shut their eyes due to the dazzling light―― and then, by the time they opened their eyes, the figure of a certain girl had already stood right where the magic circle was.
「Fu~h, thanks a lot En-chan, you did a good job!」
Her bright smile was definitely not an optical illusion. The little girl who appeared from the magic circle had platinum blonde hair done in twin tails and skin as white as pristine snow. To top it, she also had blue cat-like eyes.
Only one girl in 2-7 had platinum blonde hair. Her figure was simply too dazzling to be forgotten.
Reina Adelheid Ayase.
Even amid the gathering of beauties in 2-7, her beauty was enough to place her in the first or second position, and Yamajun's group met that very girl in that fairy plaza.
===
「W-what… What's happening…」
Himeno Airi felt like she had returned to being a plain-gloomy girl before she was sent to another world.
There, a blonde beauty, Reina sat on the side of the fairy plaza's fountain. Around her was the figure of the men waiting upon her.
「Uuh… I'm so scared… I want to meet you, Yuu-kun.」
The figure of frail girl crying could kindle anyone's desire to protect her. And her voice, for better or worse incited the bravery of the men around her who used to battle to protect her.
「Don't worry Reina-chan, I'll protect you for sure!」
「Yeah, don't worry, we're going to protect you.」
「We who're used to battle have become much stronger.」
「You just need to follow us, Reina-chan.」
Almost to the point of ignoring Airi, the men were coaxing Reina with extremely sweet words.
Even though not even five minutes had passed since Reina appeared in the fairy plaza.
And yet, the men were already dazed by Reina, completely forgetting about Airi's existence. In fact, as a fellow girl, Airi should be the one who talked to Reina as soon as she appeared in the fairy plaza, but the men were blinded by their enthusiasm, not giving her a gap.
As a result, Airi was the only one left out in that place, the position that normally called loner back in Japan. She wasn't simply left out, her situation was closer to a queen who fell from the grace.
As soon as Reina sat on the edge of the water fountain, the men surrounded her, and Airi was left out of the ring. Seeing that made her realize the caste system in the party.
「Well, let's calm down first, everyone. Ayase-san seems to have been in great trouble just now so let her take a rest to calm herself.」
Though Yamajun was the only composed one amongst the men, Airi who fell from the grace in mere five minutes after Reina has appeared couldn't calm down that easily.
She couldn't accept the fact that Reina was added to the party.
Airi was afraid. Just by staying close to Reina A Ayase, her position that symbolized her efforts and charm crumbled as easily as a sandcastle.
「C-calm down, Airi. T-this isn't the time to panic…」
Though I almost flipped out just by looking at Reina's tragic heroine-like cries, Airi realized that she still had the chance to turn the table.
I admitted that Reina A Ayase was an adorable girl. The difference between their face value was like heaven and earth. That was already obvious even back in Japan.
「But, fufufu… your head that is filled with a field of flower shouldn't have any idea about one thing. Men are just a lump of sex drive.」
Yes, I still have my body to turn the table against Reina.
Adorable appearance alone couldn't satisfy the men's sex drive. Their lust could only be satisfied with a touch from a woman’s body.
「It's not like you can see the other men either since your head is filled with Souma Yuuto.」
But it was possible for me. The real battle had only begun after this.
I am fully aware that my appearance was far below Reina’s. That's why I'll use my body to curry the favor from the strong men. That was Airi's sure kill survival strategy that she had learnt in this dungeon.
Yes, only I, the 『Succubus』 could satisfy the desire of the men which you couldn't.
「Humph, enjoy your victory for now… I won't lose to a fucking selfish and airhead woman like you who doesn't even put the others in your eyes, soon, you'll only become useless baggage in this party. Just stay right there as the cute pet of this party.」
Airi knew well her value as a woman since she knew that the creature called men couldn't be separated from their sex drive. Anyhow, it had already been decided that the men would choose the closest woman once they saw a flower on top of the hill.
Airi who had already slept with them numerous times knew that she was right.
「――No, I'll abstain for today.」
But that night, Yamada refused Airi's invitation.
「Eh… is something the matter, Yamada-kun? Are you, not feeling well tonight?」
That was the first thing that came to my mind upon hearing Yamada's rejection. But, I noticed it.
The usual Yamada would be jumping in without hesitation like a stray dog in heat but tonight… Airi couldn't feel Yamada's usual passion in his eyes.
Impossible, I couldn't help but recognize a terrifying fact.
The men’s sex drives were completely surpressed.
「Oi, since Reina-chan has already joined us, I think you should stop doing that kind of thing.」
「What are you talking about, Yamada-kun? Enduring it isn't good for your body you know. I mean, we just need to tone down our voice while that girl is sleeping a――」
Though I entwined my arms on Yamada's body, he shook my arms with an indifferent look on his face.
「Shut up, I’m not in the mood to do it tonight. I just want to sleep today.」
The decision for abstinence was a big deal, Yamada shut his eyes and turned his back on Airi as if to show his determination.
「L-lie… you must be… lying.」
Yamada rejected me. A normal healthy man had actually refused Airi, the 『Succubus』's invitation.
This kind of reaction was new, and it happened only after Reina arrived. Well, they should reach the limit on the third day. The men's sex drive was absolute――
「Uhm no, I'm not in the mood.」
「No~pe, Reina-chan might see us.」
「You should refrain from doing this kind of thing.」
The next day Ueda rejected my invitation, then Nakai, and lastly Shimokawa. Moreover, I invited Yamada again after three days had passed, the day he should've reached his limit but…
「I won't do that with you anymore… I mean, I don't want Reina-chan to see such a degenerate side of mine.」
Seeing those determined eyes that firmly rejected Airi, she finally flipped out.
「D-DOn't joke around you piece of shit! Like hell I'm gonna believe the words of the man who has always been jumping in to my invitation until now! Reina-chan's heart, HAH! Stop your hypocrisy, you fucking ugly lolicon! What do you like about your Reina-chan(lol) anyway? Your monkey love? Let me to tell you, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE, SHALL I LEND YOU MY MIRROR SO THAT YOU CAN SEE YOUR OWN FUCKING UGLY FACE? LET ME TELL YOU, STOP YEARNING FOR THAT SHITTY LOLI WHOSE HEAD IS FILLED WITH SOUMA YUUTO, YOU'LL JUST EXHAUST YOURSELF! AND HERE YOU ARE, RISKING YOUR LIFE FOR NOTHING, I DOUBT THAT FUCKING LOLI WILL EVEN THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORT! STOP REACHING FOR THE SHITTY FLOWER ON THE HILL, SOMEONE LIKE YOU JUST NEEDS TO PROTECT ME! LOOKSWISE, YOU'VE NO RIGHT TO LOVE HER! THAT'S WHY KEEP YOUR DREAM FOR WHEN YOU'RE ASLEEP, LOOK AT ME! BE MINE! ALL OF YOU STUPID MEN SHOULD BECOME MY LOYAL SLAVEEEES!」
I flipped out and screamed at him to the top of my lung and only stopped when my throat hurt from yelling at him.
Airi knew very well of her position. She who borrowed the power of the men was ultimately completely dependent on those said men. Venting her anger at those men was something that she had to avoid at all cost.
She only existed to comfort the men. Their relationship was a give and take rather than brainwash, she couldn't order the men.
Thus, Himeno Airi, the 『Succubus』 who has lost her charm as a woman… returned to being a powerless girl like when she just arrived.
===
The dungeon capture continued on with Reina A Ayase’s addition to their team.
「Let's get going!」
「OOH!」
「Let me show you power!」
「Hehehe, I'll show my power to Reina-chan.」
The men were charging towards the battle in high spirit, gallantly defeating one monster after another like a brave hero.
And yet, it wasn't even clear whether the most active guy of the day would be rewarded by Reina. She didn't even cheer at them. All she did was look at them.
She did nothing at all… cheering for them, assisting from behind, or rewarding the tired men.
And yet, the men were still risking their lives for her.
It was as if―― they had gotten charmed by Reina.
The men would devote themselves to her without expecting anything in return. And the men exhausted themself just to be seen by her.
And yet, the men were content with such treatment. They literally gained nothing even after risking their lives in battle.
But I wonder what the other woman thinks upon seeing that kind of woman emitting such devilish charm.
「DAMMIT, DAMMIT… DAMMITDAMMITDAMMITDAMMITDAMMIT…」
Airi almost went mad upon seeing that situation.
As a fellow woman, Himeno Airi, an actual 『Succubus』 with proper charm skill didn't even reach the feet of Reina who used her weapon without even realizing it, and beat Airi until she couldn't accept it anymore.
Airi had finally gotten along with the men by using her body and yet, the newcomer Reina who only wept as soon as she arrived instantly got the attention of the men.
As a fellow woman, it was nothing but humiliation for Airi, a complete humiliation.
As a woman, I understood that there was an unsurpassable wall between our appearance. Though men also often being compared for their appearance, it was less savage than that of women.
Airi understood that. And yet… she had never hated such difference as much as now.
And then, the one to whom she pointed that jealousy which already resembled hatred was none other than a certain girl.
「DAMMIT, DAMMIT… Reina, I'm gonna kill you.」
「W-Wait a minute, calm down, Himeno-san.」
The one thing that stopped me from sniping Reina-who was currently being pampered like usual- to death with maximum 『Lux Sagitta』 was Yamajun's brave effort.
「L-L-Like hell I can calm myself in this kind of situation!」
「I-It'll be bad if you keep shouting like that you know.」
Airi ended up grinding her teeth in frustration. She knew that Yamajun was right, she should lower her voice.
Anyhow, I'm not afraid of Reina. I mean, that shitty girl would cry at basically anything with a loud sound. Thus, the one who made such a loud voice would become the common enemy of the men who were already enslaved by Reina.
「I understand your frustration, Himeno-san. I know that it's not my place to say this but, I really understand your frustration.」
「Y-Yes… I… I can't stand this kind of treatment!」
Yamajun kindly patting Airi's back as she cried out her frustration. And just like that, he kept hugging Airi like a lover to calm her down.
All the other party members were already asleep around this time.
「Though I understand your frustration, you've no choice but to bear with it for now, Himeno-san. This is an extremely delicate situation since there's only you and Ayase-san.」
「No, impossible… it's seriously impossible already…」
