Because I Was Excluded Out of the Class Transfer, I Decided to Steal My Classmate's Lover

Chapter 120: Lust Familiar Works

When Senna left the shop, the area was still dimly lit.

Before the sunrise. The indigo sky was finally changing to lapis lazuli, just before dawn.

(Note: lapis lazuli = deep-blue coloured stone)

The prostitutes, having finished their work, disappeared into the twilight with wobbly steps. After watching them for a while, Senna spontaneously turned around on the spot.

Senna looked up and saw an empty house where she had been living until now.

Signs had been removed, decorations had been taken down and all that remained was the rugged stone walls.

The furniture, furnishings and décor had all been erased, giving the interior the appearance of having spent many years uninhabited and forgotten.

On inspection, it would be hard to believe that just a few days ago, many men and women were mingling in the house.

Traces were erased. The traces of the males who had been brought in before the three in question were also completely obliterated.

Now all that remained was for the [Self-Senna] to leave the area and the warding would be lifted.

The wards that were set up in the pavilion covered the entire pavilion with Senna’s body as the starting point and axis, with her at the centre.

To disable the wards, the main body, Senna, must be struck. But Senna, its starting point and nucleus, was inside the wards.

The arijigoku-shaped wards were not an ironclad defence, but as a prison from which intruders could never return, they were a perfect fortress.

(Note: arijigoku = ant lion larva)

It should be impossible for the average magician or magic user to even recognise them. And it would have been impossible for a normal person to disable it, even temporarily.

“I couldn’t stay here any longer once it had been neutralised.”

At the signal of Senna - Queen Succubus, countless bats flew away into the dawn sky. All of them were succubus.

Succubus were quietly sucked into the darkness without a sound of their wings. After seeing them all off, Senna pretended to be human and disappeared amongst the prostitutes returning home.

The brothel [Succubus House] in Hanamachi would cease to exist as of this day.

She was supposed to leave town as it was, but she still had work to do.

Semen collection. There was no way that running a single night shop would be able to collect enough energy to command that many succubus.

In fact, at first they were able to collect the required amount of semen, but gradually the number of customers decreased and it became unprofitable.

But she, too, was a queen who ruled succubus. She had predicted that this would happen at some point, and she planned to recover the semen by other means.

“Now I need to retrieve the Little Succubus.”

A small succubus, as the term implies, was like a smaller type of succubus.

A more accurate term would be a Succubus-specific messenger demon.

They were not as intelligent as succubus and could not communicate with humans. It was said to sound as if it was speaking in a broken language, but the truth was not known.

At least Queen Succubus could give orders, but she could not understand their ego or will. To Queen Succubus, they were nothing more than dolls with whom she could not communicate.

Low-degree demons - no. Strictly speaking, Little Succubus was not a demon.

From the human point of view, they were classified as demons, but in reality they were clearly a different kind of being.

To begin with, Little Succubus was not a living creature. It was a man-made demon created by dark magic, the 『Lust Familiar Works : The Birth of Demon』, which could only be used by highly intelligent demons.

Succubus, which understood and manipulated human languages, were also classified as intelligent demons, but they could not use the 『Lust Familiar Works : The Birth of Demon』. The miracle of the birth of life, known as 『Descendant Creation』, could only be exercised by a very small number of demons with extremely high intelligence and dense waves of magical power.

Apart from the Succubus Queen, only a “demon king” would be able to use this magic without any cost.

“I have no complaints about her ability to collect sperm, but she does act on instinct, which is a bit of a flaw.”

Recalling the Little Succubus that she summoned in the forest, she sighed.

Senna’s 『Lust Familiar Works : Demon Birth』was, as the name suggested, a dark magic that summoned messengers ruled by lust.The way she devoured semen faithful to her desires was the most rational from the point of view of the purpose of semen collection, but Senna, who attached great importance to eating manners, seemed to have her own feelings about the way she preyed on her own instincts.

Anyway, it would be futile to lecture these women on beauty. It was a far cry from Senna’s way of doing things, but it couldn’t be helped. They were in a desperate situation.

“Well, they’ve grown up to be lovely to look at, and it’s a terrible thing to ask for more than that. After all, she’s just a hastily, man-made demon.”

Due to the nature of the male’s semen deprivation, Senna had tried to create a form that was sheltered and attractive.

The body was childlike and rather poor, perhaps due to the adverse effects of reducing the size of individuals in order to increase their numbers, but she was sure that she had instilled in them the behaviour that was attractive to men.

As they were girls who did not know how to add or subtract, it was charming that there would be some casualties. However, they would not attack humans. That was why Senna dared to release them into the unpopular forest.

Unless a man was foolish enough to go all the way into the forest and waste time for no reason, it was impossible for them to harm a human being. If any human male was misled by Little Succubus after all this arrangement, it was a very unlucky story.

◇◇◇

Sitting on a stump, Shigenobu Torao looked out at the azure sky with calm eyes.

The pure white sunlight that drenched the lush new greenery seems to gently envelop this leisurely progress.

The sleeping girl on his lap warmed his heart. When he stroked the white silver head, the girl - Mishuyu - rubbed up against him pleasantly.

“To,O-?”

“Aa. That’s me Mishuyu.”

“Nishishi-…To,o-Ta,o—”

Mishuyu repeatedly uttered the words she had just learnt, as if she was practising them.

Her tongue was not quite right and her pronunciation was not yet good enough. Unless a person tried to listen carefully, he would not be able to judge the voice as having any meaning beyond a squeak.

But for Torao, none of this mattered. Mishuyu was with him, looking up at him and calling him ‘Toao’. That alone was enough to put his mind at ease.

“Are you awake, Mishuyu?”

“Toa, ooh. Miu, misu, oita-”

Her golden eyes rolled open wide and she looked up at him.

Mishuyu rumbled and cleared her throat. It seemed that she wanted to be left alone. Torao picked up a plant growing nearby that resembled catnip in the original world and waved it in front of Mishuyu’s eyes.

With a twinkle in her eye, she reached for the catnip, which swooshed about. Just as she was about to reach it, Torao extended his arm wickedly and moved it away from her. Mishuyu straightened her back and tried to grab the catnip enthusiastically.

“Nyaaa,Gyaa-a!”

Raising her voice menacingly, Mishuyu leapt into Torao’s arms.

Mishuyu, who looked exactly like Nekoyama Misuzu, his classmate, jumped on Torao with such force that she pushed him down.

When a small but human child-sized girl suddenly embraced her, Torao lost his balance and fell off the stump on which he was perched.

“Fuwa—”

“Myauu!”

Mishuyu moving in a moseying manner while covered by Torao. Rubbing her body against it, Mishuyu finally tightened her grip on the catnip.

“AhHaha, it’s been taken.”

Rolling over on his back, Torao gave a carefree smile.

With her, he could forget about the bad things. He could forget about the unreasonable misfortunes that had befallen him.

“Mishuyu.”

While on his chest, Mishuyu tugged at the catnip.

There was no trace of malice or chagrin in Torao’s face as he gazed at her.

Even though she was a demon who didn’t speak the language, she resembled a classmate girl. And what he did with a girl who looked just like his ex-girlfriend, who was full of unresolved feelings, by playing with her and letting her sleep on his lap, was not only unhealthy, but also tasteless in many ways.

But it was probably not worth pointing out to Torao who petted Mishuyu.

He was mortified when he first met her, but since then - surprisingly - he had never tried to look at Mishuyu with sexual eyes.

No matter how much she resembled his beloved ex-girlfriend, or how much she resembled his unreasonably cuckolded lover, he did not engage in such barbaric acts as verbally tricking a young childish girl with whom he could not communicate, or using force of arms.

He was serious at heart, after all.

He kicked Ran out of class probably because he wanted to protect his ex-girlfriend back then, Nekoyama Misuzu.

The reason it resorted to such violent measures was because Eiichi Megane, for his own protection, blew the danger of Kirishima Ran;s 『Sexual Lunatic』 beyond what was necessary and used the group mentality to agitate it.

It was hardly the right thing to do, but it was not done out of malice or jealousy.

It was to protect her from danger. Sacrificing Kirishima Ran for that purpose was a self-centred act under the cloak of justice, but it was probably too much to ask a high school boy who was confused immediately after his transfer to another world to have that level of judgement.

Although he made a bad decision on the spur of the moment and lost everything as a result. In essence, he was a man who could protect the weak.

Because he was such a good schoolboy at heart, he never treated Mishuyu as a sexual toy to relieve stress.

“Mishuyu.”

“Ta,Oo?”

“All right, all right.”

The look on Torao’s face in front of Mishuyu was not the same as it had been in the past.

A soft smile would be a sign of comfort and a calm gesture would be a sign of confidence.

Was it called animal therapy?

Having come into contact with the innocent Mishuyu, Torao was regaining the innocence of mind he had before his transition.

Lover and friend taken away. Harmed and wounded in solitude, Torao’s heart was being healed, only slightly, but surely.

“……Mishuyu.”

At the same time, however, the girl Mishuyu was becoming an irreplaceable and important presence in Torao’s life.

Was it called compassion? Torao remembered when he was in primary school,he found an abandoned dog in a box in a vacant lot in his neighbourhood. It was friendly and flicked its brown tail in a gesture that made him fall in love at first sight, and he didn’t hesitate to take it home with him on his way home from school.

But because he had a cat at home, naturally he was unable to get his mother’s permission and had to return it to its original box in tears.

Torao couldn’t forget it, so he went to feed the dog with his friends and even went to leave his umbrella on rainy days. One day, when he realised the whole box was missing, he felt an indescribable loneliness.

“…………”

And memories of Misuzu, who stopped laughing with him once.

The memories of her were also fading away in the raging life in the other world. Perhaps he was unknowingly harbouring feelings akin to fear at her attitude of not even looking him in the eye, and was putting a lid on his memories.

It was quite heartbreaking to be suddenly shunned with a cold stare by a lover who, just a few hours ago, was eye to eye and laughing with him.

The strong image overwrote the pale past landscape with a stain. The black, cold memories became like claws, scarring and disparaging the irreplaceable canvas of youth.

“But…”

The school life he led with Misuzu must surely have been happy.

As he came into contact with the pure Mishuyu, he came to remember such a natural thing.

He could remember their youth, which was missing when he was with Mishuyu.

“………”

‘Could I take her with us?’

She was alone, separated from her flock.

She had no companions. She had no way to protect herself. She might be attacked by adventurers and meet a gruesome end.

“I don’t want her to end like that. I can’t stand the thought of losing anyone else any more.”

A demon with a childlike appearance who could not communicate. It must be a challenge to get permission to accompany her.

The girls would naturally object. They might look at him with disdain.

But such things did not matter to Torao. The ego and reason of the female students. The fact that Kirishima Ran alone was in control of most of the decision-making, it was pointless to even think about such things.

For now, if Torao could get Yuri Fujiyoshi, who had 『Intelligence Gathering:Ultimate Technology』, or Eiichi Megane, who had appraisal, to confirm that it was a non-dangerous demon then it didn’t matter what happened after that.

“Mishuyu.”

In a voice full of determination, he called out to Mishuyu.

Mishuyu, who had been chewing catnip, twirled her golden eyes and looked up at Torao.

“Why don’t you come with us, ……?”

Torao reached out his hand to the thin shoulder. The dwarf’s body was so fragile, it seemed as if it could break at any moment, and he felt it unbearable.

He found himself holding Mishuyu close to him. He took Mishuyu, who was still standing there without resistance, in his arms.

“With Mishuyu, I can do my best. If Mishuyu is with me, I can ……”

“Myu, myu?”

“So……with me, with us…”

Torao knew she didn’t speak his language. But Mishuyu, too, seemed to have had her own thoughts on the seriousness of Torao’s gaze.

With her golden twin eyes turned up, Mishuyu stared at Torao.

Mishuyu took Torao’s hand and shook her head up and down.

“Thank you, Mishuyu.”

Mishuyu’s small hand was clasped in a tight grip.

The earlier Torao wishes came true, the better. He should tell his fellow classmates in advance that they would be accompanied by more people.

They then started walking. He walked slowly, matching Mishuyu’s stride.

Then—In front of the rustling bushes, Torao stopped.
