Chapter 469 – What the heck is this Succubus…?
Some might think it’s a little strange.
Now that Ayeon has shown up, wouldn’t there naturally be a succubus shop here?
Shouldn’t we be surprised by something else now?
Of course, while that’s a reasonable assumption, what shocked us was quite different.
“……Shinwoo, is this for real? It’s not a dream, right?”
“It’s real, so don’t grab my dck here too, you btch.”
“Just as it appears.”
It was none other than the scale of the succubus business.
It’s kind of funny to talk about it only now, but the size of the academy building is pretty big.
That’s a logical decision considering the number of students using it.
Without that, the countless booths we saw earlier wouldn’t have fit in.
Let’s think about this again.
Even though they’re packed together, there’s a significant space for many booths.
What if someone used all of that space alone?
[Even corporate booths wouldn’t be this big.]
‘It’s just an event space…’
It must be unimaginably massive.
“This is why you contacted me so much yesterday!”
“That’s true. To be precise, it’s not just this, though.”
Honestly, I thought it was absurd.
Normally, these booths are reserved and registered in advance.
Ayeon, requesting a booth the day before the festival, must be an exception.
But how in the world did she manage to monopolize this vast three floors all by herself?
“Why do you have the whole place to yourself? Aren’t there any other booths?”
“Aah, there were.”
Ayeon’s calm words felt strangely unsettling.
“Were… there…?”
“Yes.”
“……How…?”
She didn’t seem to have used any normal methods at all.
There’s a saying that negative thoughts tend to come true.
Ayeon’s following answer proved the validity of that saying.
But if there’s a slight problem…
“I destroyed them all.”
“Is that even possible?”
She far exceeded my expectations by proving that.
“Did you notice anything unusual on the lower floor?”
“…….Hey, f*ck. No way.”
I didn’t say it outright, but I could tell what Ayeon had done.
Those slightly odd beings we briefly saw on the 2nd floor a moment ago.
Others would probably figure it out too by now.
That’s right. Those Disney lawyers.
It seemed like she had secretly mixed Disney’s items into the products on the booths here.
To legally eliminate the competitors who occupied this floor through copyright power.
But as for whether she bought or stole those items, I wasn’t sure.
“Theft is bad, you know.”
“……”
And now it was confirmed that she had stolen.
“Copyrights are important as well.”
“You know we have no right to say that, right?”
“Oh.”
It was truly a devilish thought from a succubus.
[So that’s why the lawyers seemed unhappy.]
‘I felt something off when they came out as lawyers…’
Besides that, there still remained many questions.
“Hey, how did the succubus get here?”
“That’s it, Hyeji said?”
First off, the fact that there’s a succubus here according to Hyeji.
[So Hyeji asked the question you wanted to ask first.]
‘Surely Hyeji also found it strange.’
Honestly, I felt a bit envious while being curious.
Of course, being hunters, the preparation for entry was a bit tough for us.
Since succubi aren’t hunters, their process could be smoother than ours.
But can they really come to Japan in just one day?
To come to Japan, you need to prepare various things, making it virtually impossible.
Especially if they’re coming here to make money.
It was an area I simply couldn’t grasp.
“I just asked for a bit of help from the Succubus Delivery Service.”
“Hey, that should have been allowed for us back then.”
“Sorry. I didn’t expect things would progress this far at that time.”
It made sense why I couldn’t understand that realm.
Ayeon aimed to open a business during this special festival period and seemed to have urgently called the succubi here using such a special service.
Thanks to that, immediately after arriving in Japan, she must have been busy contacting left and right the moment she heard the word festival.
“Succubi aren’t some special forces going overseas…”
“My lord, the special forces are different. It’s for providing service in combat zones.”
“……Let’s not talk, f*ck.”
[The succubi were probably just originally demonic creatures…]
‘At this point, are the succubi actually hunters…?’
Thanks to those efforts, Ayeon successfully gathered all the support.
“Shinwoo, I want to try parachuting.”
“……You can just follow Dad.”
“Training and playing are different, you know.”
Right now, it seemed like they could even decide the succubi’s trip to Japan.
“My husband, this is fake! My sister just likes super soldiers indiscriminately!”
“You, Hyeji? Why are you saying something so accurate?”
“You guys, f*ck.”
Such boldness is necessary for running a business.
“I think I’m gonna throw up… ”
“It hurts…”
[That’s a painful truth.]
‘Yap away; this time you hit the spot…’
Besides, it’s amazing that there are so many succubi.
Of course, there were many more people waiting in the hallway.
But even so, the number of succubi was definitely not small.
They were almost excessive compared to the space here.
“Succubi really made it all the way to Japan, huh?”
“In fact, they came voluntarily.”
And upon hearing that, I was even more surprised.
Honestly, arriving in Japan was a very sudden trip for them.
Not many would want to make such an impulsive decision.
If Ayeon’s words were true, it meant they came here by their own will.
“Did they really come voluntarily?”
“Of course. Even the main body didn’t ask them to come. They all studied Japanese.”
“Their enthusiasm is impressive.”
Listening to that, I took a moment to observe the succubi.
I wondered if they really came on their own accord.
They were busy working hard with an endless, beautiful smile.
“They simply said they were really looking forward to this year’s advancement assessment.”
“Crazy btch. Really crazy btch.”
“Yet, they still came, and I’m grateful.”
Now that I looked closely, I could see a hint of desperation in the succubi’s smiles.
“There were even succubi who wanted to swim here so badly; I was truly touched.”
“……You know you’re a dog, right?”
“Of course. I’m the dog’s partner.”
“Fcking btch.”
This was truly a scene of serious labor exploitation.
[Even succubi have it tough.]
‘Next time I see them, I should treat them well…’
Anyway, I surveyed the space filled with blood, tears, and slightly murky liquid.
The place we were in was a kind of isolated space with glass walls on both sides.
One side had the entrance to the hallway we came from, while the opposite side revealed the scenery inside.
At that moment, a piece threw a sharp question.
[Wasn’t it a mirror when we came in?]
‘Huh? It was, wasn’t it?’
With those words, one of the succubi suddenly looked at us from the inside and fixed her makeup.
Since her gaze wasn’t directed at me, it was as if she was looking in a mirror.
It was then that I realized the nature of the glass beside us.
“Ayeon, is this a magic mirror?”
“You figured it out quickly… as expected of my partner.”
A magic mirror.
It’s something that can be used as one side as a mirror while the other acts like a transparent window.
A thing that appears repeatedly in boring American detective dramas.
And here it was being used.
“Is this how you’re trying to gauge the situation inside and out?”
“That’s correct. You wouldn’t hear anything now since I turned off the sound.”
At this point, I was genuinely finding it fascinating.
Not only had one booth taken up an entire floor, but they also set up a magic mirror for monitoring and security.
It was quite sophisticated for something prepared in a short time.
[They really came prepared…]
‘Now I’m a bit scared…’
Thinking that, I turned my gaze towards the inside of the hallway.
Except for the last room, each classroom entrance was guarded by various succubi.
The hallway had no empty spots, full of people standing around.
They probably used the classrooms as stores and the hallway as a kind of waiting room.
Most of the people waiting were men.
They all shared a common feature.
First off, they were all wearing masks.
Certainly, this showed that they put some thought into it.
In such a crowded space, at least minimal anonymity would be secured with that.
Honestly, coming here wasn’t an act of courage.
And everyone wearing masks was also decked out with gold necklaces.
[That must be the entrance ticket. You pay the entrance fee, and they give you those.]
‘But people not wearing masks don’t have gold necklaces.’
[……Oh? Really?]
Still, as Piece pointed out, even though it seemed like an entrance ticket, there were also occasional people without masks.
They wore shabby silver or bronze necklaces around their necks.
They looked somewhat dissatisfied with their expressions.
‘What’s going on…?’
[They are even leaving now.]
Moreover, one jumped up and rushed past, out the door.
As I pondered what that was about, Kyoukyou looked at the waiting people and quickly rushed over to Ayeon, starting to speak.
“Don’t joke! The citizens of Greater Japan Empire wouldn’t fall for a mere whore!”
“What do you want to say?”
Then Kyoukyou ignited her hope circuit.
Desperately trying to avert her gaze from this cruel reality.
“They were hypnotized by the whore!”
But Ayeon merely responded calmly against Kyoukyou’s frantic claims.
She even had a pitying smile on her face as she looked at Kyoukyou.
“That’s not true. They all came voluntarily.”
“Don’t lie!”
To an outsider, it looked like Kyoukyou was just making a fuss.
At that moment, Ayeon approached a new guest who had just arrived at the hallway entrance.
Without realizing, she flipped a switch on a small machine in the corner.
“I thought an explanation alone wouldn’t suffice.”
Then before opening the magic mirror, Ayeon turned back to us with a grin.
It was a confident, bold smile full of self-assurance.
“Just in time; a customer has arrived. Take a look.”
It felt strangely evil to me.
