Episode 37. Incubus Awakening (2)
Chapter 37. Incubus Awakening (2)
A variety of foods are set on a solid wooden table. I wasn’t particularly hungry, but when I saw the meat dripping with gravy, I naturally went to the spoon.
“Oops. Looks like you finally woke up I haven’t prepared anything, but come and eat.”
The woman in her apron said with a bright smile. She was not a beauty, but she was a woman with red hair and a stocky build that reminded her of Jane.
“Thank you. I will eat well.”
Sitting in her chair, she glances at the man and she smiles with satisfaction. Pretending to eat first, she put the soup into her mouth, warming her stomach.
Damn it, you got married well.
“hahahaha. Mary, don’t do that. You should sit down too.”
“Yes. All right.”
I put the piece of meat in my mouth again and mumbled. Soon after, our eyes met and he started asking me questions.
“What happened anyway?”
“What.”
“Why did you fall down in the forest? How dangerous out there!! You, your clothes back then were also a mess.”
The complexion of the man who asked that was not very good. It was the result of the movement skill that I used to run away in a hurry at the time.
“Wow. This is delicious. Isn’t Jesu’s cooking skill a joke?”
“Huh. Don’t turn around How many goblins are there. You!!”
“The subjugation of the demon lord is over. Are there any demons left?”
I was really curious. In general, when the demon king is subdued, all demons disappear and peace comes.
“The direct threat just disappears. Demons continue to exist. Although, of course, its power is considerably lower. In some villages, boys are even sacrificed periodically.”
“… Oh. Is it real?”
“It is a sacrifice of a cow for the sake of the great. No matter how weak the town is, I wonder if it wants to be like that. Ugh.”
I roughly nodded my head in response to his enthusiasm for shouting, even spitting. As he swallows the side dish, he stares at him and sighs.
“Anyway. There seems to be circumstances, so I won’t ask any more.”
Yes. Thanks. Gradually, as the food enters the stomach, curiosity rushes in with a sense of satiety.
“Ah. Right. You run the upper house?”
“Yes. You said before that I also have a place to go. They sell their own local specialties.”
“… But what?”
I am a child from a well-to-do family, but why did I end up in ‘Grace’? The question was immediately resolved by the man’s answer.
“I was kidnapped while traveling before. By the way, Mary here is my fiancée. She suffered a lot at the time.”
Is it an arranged marriage? It seems that there is such a thing even if you are not aristocrats.
“Thank you so much for saving him. If you think you’ll never see her….”
A woman named Mary sat down in her chair and bowed her head to me. Her man hugged her as she soon burst into tears.
“hahahaha. Sorry. Because her wife has a lot of tears. It’s cute because it has a masculine side.”
“No. It’s nice to see.”
After roughly finishing my meal, I drank the water from the cup. Satisfaction is felt at a moderately lukewarm temperature.
“Honey, where are you sick? Her face is red Do you have a fever?”
“Huh. No. It’s a little hot. I can’t. I’ll be in my room for a while.”
“Uh. Uh. Okay. I’m out.”
Merry looked at me with a strange expression and stepped out with trembling legs. Seeing her exhaling her thin breath generated a strange feeling of uneasiness in her.
“Sorry. It was fine until a while ago. You must be feeling unwell all of a sudden.”
“No. Rather, I’m sorry. And thank you for saving me.”
Without his help, he would have been in an awkward situation. The threats of the wild beasts were basic, and the temperature difference between day and night was great. Also, I couldn’t get enough rice.
“So. If I was kidnapped, that would be the end. Especially a face like yours. How come you are less self-aware than you were three years ago?”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“Really. Did you think it was a hogu at first? To pay that big buck.”
“Isn’t that the reason why you got your freedom?”
After that, the nagging continued. Because once you helped me He nodded roughly and made a gesture of understanding.
After that, the remaining desserts were completely emptied. Objectively, we haven’t known each other for a long time, but it was nice to get a lot of information from having a conversation like this.
⁕⁕⁕
“Are you really okay?! Hang in there. I’ll put someone in.”
“Yes. I do not need.”
“You can rest a little longer. Hey, I can help you now.”
What? I had enough rest and I used the bathroom well. Aren’t the clothes now fairly clean and tidy? Above all, being here any longer was not good in many ways.
As I walked out the door, I nodded several times at his question. When I came out, the exterior of the house looked good.
In the bag that was slung over my back, there were a lot of things that Mr. Jesu had carefully packed. Plenty of food, including maps. He even put in the 5 million gold he paid for the previous ransom.
“It is rather excessive. You go in and take good care of Jesu.”
Perhaps he believed that he couldn’t break my will, his hardened eyes loosened. Soon, he looks at me and mumbles with his lips.
“That’s your trait, right? I do not need. Because you repaid the favor enough.”
“I wouldn’t have looked for it if it hadn’t been suddenly detected.”
“Yes. It’s fine now.”
“If it’s nearby, I can find it. You never know I’m concerned about your behavior. The proverb that handsome men live short lives must be true.”
I don’t really need it. His answer was encouraging, but the words he heard added were embarrassing.
“Uh. Why not all of a sudden?”
“The last time I walked was three years ago. It won’t be anymore.”
Leaving the bewildered guy behind, I quickly set out on the road. Suddenly, I think of a couple who seemed to be getting along well.
“It suits you well.”
Maybe it’s a little bit envious. Even while walking down the street, people’s attention was not focused on him because he was wearing a robe. Of course, there were curious eyes.
“It’s big.”
Hide your face with a hood even more. I didn’t feel the dangerous atmosphere because it was a well-prepared neighborhood.
It’s not a bad town. Even though it is a city quite far from the capital, it is specialized in commerce.
“Is this enough?”
I had to get out of town for the plan. It wasn’t a big city in the first place, so I was able to get out quickly.
After walking for a while outside the village, I sat down on a rock. Now I’m slowly starting to get dark.
“Let’s see.”
A window appears right in front of you. I took a look at the skills listed in the characteristic ‘Incubus’. Among them, the name of the technology that stands out.
“… Correcting your appearance?”
[System: Currently Appearance correction Is being done.]
“Somehow.”
I said something was strange. I don’t know how. If you compare her face to that of the day she first came to this world, there is a drastic difference in her appearance.
[System: Luminous hair flows.]
[System: Jet-black eyes make the opposite s*x confused.]
[System: Lively cheeks and red lips resonate in the heart of the opposite s*x.]
[System: Equip a strange and seductive smile.]
[System: A pheromone that attracts females is released.]
•
[System: Attracts certain members of the opposite s*x who see you. However, if it is of the same s*x with hostility, it will be converted to hatred.]
It is written very long. This is won Even a rookie can do it. It’s a total scam. Can you rule the world with just a face? I’m glad I wasn’t assassinated.
Did Yoo In-na and the others always see these status windows? For some reason, I feel unfair.
Maybe we should consider it fortunate that we can see it even now. Feeling cramped, I took off my hood for a while.
“It’s hot.”
I took out several things, including a map, from the bag I was carrying. After taking a sip of water, she took out a snack and stuffed it into her mouth.
“… This. Hmm.”
There was a note from Mary, but I tore it up after reading it. For their smooth marriage.
When I opened the map, I saw the village I just walked out of and other incidental parts. The most eye-catching among them is the area circled in red.
“It’s close.”
A mountain area that can be said to be where I was discovered. Simply put, it is a place where goblins live.
But before that.
“I know you are there. Come out.”
There was a rustling sound in the grass that was slightly away. After a while, the grim-looking women came out. You look like a criminal.
“Ayu. How did you know Anyway, is it already too late?”
“Sister, am I right? Look at the face Because you’re crazy.”
“Yes. I will sell expensive. Let’s taste it before that.”
“I am first. Surely there must be a big one?”
Is it human trafficking? These guys kidnap men. I covered my mouth with my hand and spoke in a trembling voice.
“Uh. Rice cake. Sun. You. Nothing nothing. Seop. All.”
Women giggling as if they were waiting for my words. These are the images that you can feel the PTSD dealing with the homeless in Grace long ago.
That’s enough to make me wonder if I’ve ever washed properly. Even though it’s a little far away, the stench is oh. Is it because it is a group of bandits?
Looking at it again, they are holding weapons one by one, as if they were not just kidnappers, but also looters. The behavior of approaching with a sinister expression is ridiculous.
“We’ll make it fun. Ha ha. It’s hard to see.”
“Me first?! Sister, are you in heat?”
“I think it will fly. Isn’t it more art when you see it up close?”
“No matter how arrogant a man is, he ends up under me….”
Look what I’m talking about. It’s very shallow.
“Sisters, I’m a bit busy, so if you go now, I’ll look after you.”
You should think with common sense. In a world like this, would a man wander out of town alone, with nothing to lean on?
“hahahaha. Cute. What did he just say?”
“Certainly there is no escort driver. Let’s finish quickly.”
“Yes. Just bluffing that bastard.”
“Don’t leave scars on your body. Because the price is dropping!”
I nodded. This cleared away any remaining remorse.
“I made it clear.”
Whirick-!!
The woman’s stick is pointed at me. I was surprised that she was faster than expected, but she was able to dodge quite skillfully.
“Ooh.”
What would the imperial palace be like by now? That i don’t know
I muttered as I raised my hand. I’ve already used it once, but it can’t be a skill that I’m reluctant to use.
“… Summons tentacles.”
[System: Tentacles That follow you are Summoned.]
Monstrous creatures springing up from the floor. It looks like a monster from a cartoon I saw a long time ago. If it was like before, it would have looked gross. Oddly enough, it looked cute in my eyes now.
The cute tentacles that followed me grabbed women’s bodies to protect me, their owner. The woman who was stopped from attacking me shouted in a questioning voice.
“What is this!!”
The woman twisting her body to and fro screams. She also has a good throat.
“Sisters, help me!!”
But so did the other women. The expressions on their faces as they uttered each word could be described as spectacular.
“I don’t know. What is this. Strange. Whoops. Ugh.”
“You bastard, what are you doing? Town.”
“Please stop. It hurts. It hurts Hey!!”
To be honest, I couldn’t do a proper test last time. Because I used it so suddenly.
“Hmm. First of all, I’ll practice a few times and release it.”
As you get used to it and gain experience, you’ll be able to fine-tune it. After all, it would be convenient to deal with it a few times.
It was important to me because I don’t have proper attack skills. After all, it’s a place where there aren’t many people.
“I hate it. Stop. Say something, sister!”
“I’ll give you money, so release it. Stop now!”
“Please. We lost.”
“No! It hurts. It hurts.”
I started practicing while covering my ears at the loud sound. They’ll have to be handed over to the police department later.
