Because I Reincarnated as a Succubus, I'll Squeeze Out Milk Volume 1 Chapter 9-11

BECAUSE I REINCARNATED AS A SUCCUBUS, I'LL SQUEEZE OUT MILK Index

09 that's what I told you

Obviously, there's no running water in the cabin but luckily there's a stream nearby so now I’m using it to clean myself. I wash my feet with the cool water and with a grim expression plastered on my face.

"There's no G.o.d in this world."

My voice got so high pitch, all my muscles are gone, I became shorter, I got a pair of giant b.r.e.a.s.t.s, my 'son' took a trip somewhere, I almost got raped by an orc and now I've wet myself. The damage done is just too much.

"Mofu-"

Minoko, who's drinking water not too far away even laughed. To be laughed at by a cow, my pride has been shattered into countless pieces.

"Even though I can just aim it when I was a boy, why is a girl's body so… uuu…"

Our biology is different. After us boys are done, we just shake it a few times. but in a girl’s body, you have to wipe it off. I have to get accustomed to it if I want to at least retain my human dignity.

I thought to myself and breathe out yet another sigh since coming to this world.

And then…

"As I thought, it's blond down here too, huh?"

For some reason, Minoko's eyes grew cold when she heard me muttering and she looked at me intensely.

"W, what!? It's my own body so it's not an indecent act, right!?"

"Nmoo"

"I, it's not like I'm that interested in it!"

To my frantic excuse, Minoko suppressed her laughter and went back to drinking. Although now that I can not only understand her words, I’ve also become able to read her facial expressions as well, which made me quite happy, I'm not concerned about establis.h.i.+ng a kind of master-servant relations.h.i.+p with her. What's important right now is to clear my name… (Earth: priorities.)

Now that I have time to think, what should I do next? If possible, I want to get out of this forest while my stomach is still full.

If the orc can attack a human and get the stuff back to the cabin then there should be a road for horse carriages nearby, right?

But I'm also afraid that the distance between the road and road cabin might be too far apart and that it might take the whole day to travel. Being out in a forest at night is no good, even if no orcs come, there might be wolves around… well, Minoko would probably eat them if they did come out though.

"Should I sleep in the cabin for the night and depart tomorrow morning? But…"

To sleep on the bed I was almost raped on is a bit… and it might not be safe sleeping in a forest.

I probably can't sleep like that.

While I'm thinking hard about these two choices, I think that I should go back to the cabin for now.

But when we're almost there, Minoko stopped walking and her ears stood up just like the time when we met the orc.

I held my breath and together, the two of us slowly creeping our way forward, hidden in a thicket. I can hear a conversation.

"Look like someone's here."

4…no, 5people?

We're around 20 meters away from them and they haven't noticed us yet.

I was afraid that it might have been more orcs, but the race is different. They're humans.

All right. I can probably get out of the forest if I explain my situation to them.

Everyone is the group is male around 30 to 40 years old with one boy who looks like he's around my age mixed in.

Their face structures look a little bit j.a.panese and their hair is black and brown yet, I can't really say they're Asian.

They look like they were expecting a fight too since they're armored with plates, on their backs are bows and arrows. some of them are holding something long in their hands. Rather than a group of lumberjacks, I'd say that they're more like huntsmen. They all had a serious expression on their face. so I try to listen in on what they were saying.

"There's trace of someone eating here, looks like it was here until just a while ago."

"It probably won't be back for a while, should we set up an ambush inside?"

"Alternatively we can also wait in the forest until it falls asleep to kill it."

"I will definitely bring it down."

Ambus.h.i.+ng and killing… they're talking about doing something dangerous to someone aren’t they?

But their goal is obvious.

"it looks like they're here to kill the orc."

But the orc is not here like they expected.

This won't take long then.

"I should probably tell them that the orc isn't here anymore."

"Mooo"

"Wait and observe the situation? Why? If we don't go out and meet them, they might go somewhere else, you know?"

But Minoko still shake her head and oppose the idea.

"Approaching someone we don't know might be dangerous? Well, that might be true…"

They're definitely human and since they're here to kill the orc, they’re probably the good guys, right? It is said that your enemy's enemy is your friend, right?

While what Minoko said is the most reasonable, if I can't even take a single risk like this then I can't say I've changed.

"They might get surprised if you suddenly go out so please stay here and wait, I'll try talking to them."

Hearing that she stopped moving. I slowly come out from the thicket.

"E… excuse me."

The moment they hear me, like a flock of disrupted pigeons, they spread out and aim their weapons at me. I stiffen up my body by reflex, their killing intents is obviously apparent I can even feel my now -nonexistent b.a.l.l.s stiffen up.

"……a girl? In a place like this?"

Someone from the group muttered.

"I, I'm not someone suspi-cthious! (S /he bit her tongue at the end, dunno how to convey that) "

I messed up……

Their reactions were to be expected, but to a shut in like me talking to a total stranger in this situation is simply too much.

"What are you doing at a place like this?"

What am I doing here? I can’t really say the truth right now since if I explain about the reincarnation poorly it would be a disaster so let's go straight to the matter.

"I know about the orc that was here."

Once they hear that they simultaneously looking at each other. From what I can tell, it looks like the eyepatch-wearing mustache guy appeared to be the strongest and was the leader of the group here.

"Ojou-chan… perchance, did you get captured by the orc?"

Mustache-san seems to be misunderstanding something. But thinking about it again I do look quite like a captive being barefoot and all. The fact that I just survive the ordeal with the orc is quite a miracle in and of itself. And ojou-chan, is it? Ojou-chan…

"Where is it now?"

He asked me again.

"Err… it got eate- no, for the time being let's just say it’s defeated so there’s no danger here anymore. I just want to inform you that."

"Defeated? You did?"

This is not the time to introduce Minoko yet. I’ll have to at least convince them that I’m not someone suspicious before I can talk about her.

But at that moment…

"Hey look! There’s horns growing out of her head!"

Another man point at me and say it.

"Ah, yes. Because I’m a succubus."

I turn around and show them my small wings.

The group start to whispering something to each other again. Somehow I have a feeling that things aren’t looking good. I didn't even expect to be welcomed warmly like 'Good job getting rid of the orc!" or anything.

Did they think I stole their achievements?

Or perhaps, human and monster is in a kill on sight relations.h.i.+p? No way, right?

"Aa…ehmm, I’m not a bad guy, y’know? I mean, I’m quite friendly and want to get along with humans…"

Whisper.

Whisper whisper.

Uuuu… I know it’s hard to believe but this feel bad…

After a moment maybe they came to an agreement and now the mustache-eyepatch guy is glaring holes into me.

"You're gonna call the orc on us when we let our guard down, aren’t you?" (Earth: oh don't worry, orc is gonna be the last of your problem.)

"O, of course not! I got lost inside this forest and I just want to find a way out!"

When I raised my voice, the guy with the mustache intensely stares at me like as if he's peering into my head and look as if he can see through my lies I can think of.

"Are you alone?"

"Err, yes."

Well, technically I’m alone with an animal.

The way he look at me reminds me of first day of highschool where my seniors called me to the back and say 'You. Jump.'

"It doesn't seem like she’s lying. Did you use your succubus’s charming abilities to render the orc powerless?"

No, you're totally wrong.

But before I can correct him, he continued talking.

"If that’s true, then it seems there really is no danger here then."

After saying that his expression soften and then everyone lower their weapons and smile. I also released my breath and let my arms, which I held above my head, down.

"Oohh, it really is a succubus. How rare."

"Don't touch her. If you're not careful, you’ll get charmed."

"Judging from the horns and wings she doesn’t seems to have that much magic power. How did she beat an orc?"

"The real magic is probably her body. With how she looks even if we went a little bit wild, it would still be understandable. The price should be quite high."

Hmm? Price?

"Err…"

They won’t listen to me. And they have also came too close.

"Though it’s supposed to be a dangerous mission it seems like we found an unexpected fortune."

"The orc is probably sitting obediently somewhere else, if we go and kill it after this and claim the reward our income should be quite high."

"We should inspect the quality of the goods before we sell it right? Should we move into the cabin?"

"It's too cramped in there, outside should be fine."

Without giving a time to ask anything, the man who is behind me seize both of my arms from behind while the one in front got my legs.

"Eh? Wha? Wait!"

Forcibly and without warning they push me to the ground, pressing on both my arms and legs. Maybe it’s the light but their stern faces look just like the devil’s.

"Wahaha, look like she doesn’t even know what’s happening to her!"

"She is too innocent for a succubus, don't tell me she’s a virgin? "

"Do virgin succubus even exist? "

"Whatever. Let’s just test her already."

Ah, it’s the same.

The species is different but their face look just like the orc’s. A face that look down on its prey.

Are you serious? Am I gonna have to go through that again?

"Ah, looks like she realized the situation she’s in now, judging the change of color on her face."

The mustached leader came and squatted down next to me and got his face so close  to mine, That I feel like his nose is going to touch my skin, his hot breath sent chills running through my body.

"L, let me go!"

"Ohh, such cute meager resistance. Go on, do your best."

It’s all the same. I can’t do anything.

Be it an orc or a human, this body is just too weak.

More importantly, do the people in this world have raping as their life's work!?

"d.a.m.n it, release me!"

So, is this a dream in another world? I felt like my eyes have been opened.

"Oh you've stopped struggling, did you give up?"

Shut up. I'm busy loathing the world right now. Seriously, these people can go eat s.h.i.+t. I want to destroy this world.

But amidst the situation, there’s one person.

"Please stop it, Gunjo-san! You shouldn’t do something like this!"

A young boy in their group protested against their actions. He look around 1 or 2 years younger than me.

"A brat should shut up. We’re just teaching this monster a lesson."

Gunjo, the mustached leader, said, shooing the boy away.

"But she’s just a girl! What you’re doing is not humane!"

"Humane? Why should I care, she’s just a monster."

"Monster or not, she’s still a girl! I cannot let this happen!"

"Immature brat. Come to think of it, you’re a virgin too, right?"

To the leader’s words, the other 3 people gave a loud laugh and the boy is now hanging his head in shame with his face turning beet red.

"Be obedient. You will get your turn soon. You’re studying monsters’ lifestyles, aren’t you? You can learn a lot. Actually, why not try and study my techniques as well?"

With such bold and proud words being said, the mustached guy started to taking off his trousers. The boy then grabbed the leader's shoulder .

"Even though I'm a virgin, that doesn't have anything to do with what you're doing right now."

The smile then vanished from Gunjo's face.

"… I only let you come along because you begged to come, I thought you'd make a fine meat s.h.i.+eld, but to think you would be this annoying; it seems like I have to re educate you then, huh?"

With his pants still half off, he stood up and turned towards the boy.

"If you're not going to listen then it's too bad, because you're the only one that’ll get killed by the orc!"

He planted his fist into the boy's stomach. With that, the boy gasped loudly and collapsed to the ground.

"Don't be annoying and ruin an adult's fun you d.a.m.n brat!"

And then he kicked the boy in one of his sides side once, twice, thrice and then some more. No one is stopping Gunjo, on the contrary, they seem to be amused, and as if to say 'serves you right',they spat at him.

The boy who is on the ground and is getting kicked look not at his attacker, but at me. His eyes, even when he's still under attack, show a worried look for a being other than his own.

"Please…… escape…"

With a fading voice, he started losing all his strength and lost his consciousness.

"Well then, sorry for the wait, succubus gir—"

The moment he turned around, his face changed color. He's not looking at me but at something else. The shadow that's casting over my head is not from any of the group's member but something much bigger.

"… Sorry."

I said.

But unlike the time with the orc, I never have an intention to succ.u.mb to their wills nor have fear towards them to begin with.

Because I know someone is here to save me.

"I will apologize properly later."

"mooo." The owner of the shadow cried out as if she was sighing.

If the cow wasn't there, this novel would have became R18.

Human characters finally appeared! From now we will slowly progress towards a story that actually feels more like an 'another world' novel…!!

BECAUSE I REINCARNATED AS A SUCCUBUS, I'LL SQUEEZE OUT MILK Index

Chapter 10

Minoko appeared from behind. The guys on my left and right who were holding me got bit in the back with a snap.

"Gah!? W…Who!?"

Like pulling a small child out of the toy's department.

Minoko lifted a guy up like it's no big deal.

Before flinging him with her neck.

Everyone's focus turned to the skies,

In the distance, a large man is floating in the air.

He's flailing wildly as he was falling due to the gravitational pull from a 10 meter height drop without being able to rebalance, before hitting the ground.

He's still alive, and breathing.

But, he's squirming in pain because his arm wasn't in its proper direction.

No one, even him, said a word. Because the power of Minoko who had just appeared.

The commander who is in lead came back to his senses.

"P-Prepare battle stations!"

The Commander yelled, jumping back and taking up his spear.

Also, two of them followed up beside him, readying their bow and arrows to shoot.

Minoko stood in front of me to protect me from the arrows.

"Kill it! KILL IT!"

Without hesitation, he commanded.

A Large target in a short distance, even an amateur can hit it.

Almost the same sound, at the same time, the arrow whizzed through the air and hit its target.

""Eh?""

However, both of them are surprised.

The reason: the arrows had hit their target, —but they’re on the ground.

It's not like it fell short, or even missed.

It's simple: it hit, but it did not penetrate.

One of the two arrows looked like it had hit concrete and broke in half.

"W-What is this thing!? It's not normal!"

Commander voice sounds strained.

Yes, it's not normal.

From its behavior, and those guys experience.

And its few attacks and defense, if made them realize that the creature is inhumanly powerful.

"That look… does… does this monster have some connection with Minotarus!?"

He struck his spear into the ground before picking up a round glowing crimson-colored crystal from his pouch.

"Beast! If you hear me, listen! This magic stone has rank 2 fire magic sealed inside! This is used for eliminating orcs. If you dare attack us, we'll be forced to use it!"

This world has magic.

I'd be very intrigued and interested if it wasn't such a dire situation.

The commander who's facing Minako is clearly forcing for her to withdraw.

That item called a 'Magic Stone'. Maybe it's price is so high that the rewards won't cover its use. With that reason, it's a thing that they don't want to use.

But on the other hand, it's a thing for fighting orcs. So it's reasonable that it has hidden potential.

But, if it's her…

Even orcs, she just eats them all in a sweep.

She doesn't even do anything with the distraction.

Even after what they had said, she started walking like she's going for a walk in forest.

"Get them, Minoko! Make them regret they have ever lived!"

"Do. Not. Mock. US!!! Well, eat this inferno h.e.l.lfire!!!"

The commander threw the softball-sized magic stone with all his might like he's about to break it.

It seems like it's a one-use item.

It hit Minako's face hard, like a powdered gla.s.s marble.

At same time, the flames sparks up like it was an explosion.

*BOOM*

The flames roared and twisted into a flame pillar that reached up into the sky.

"Wha!?"

This is… magic.

This is not in any reasonable range.

It's more than what I expected by 100 times.

I thought it's an item used for self-protection from bears and wolves because it looks like something that a mountain band would use. Is this really used for orcs?

Couldn’t this even burn a DRAGON!?

The heat wave radiates to my skin even though I'm far away from it.

Nothing can escape from the grasp of its merciless flame.

The roaring flames that seemed not to stop like it has a mind of its own.

Anything that gets surrounded by this wouldn't survive for sure.

"Mi-Minoko…MINOKO~~~~!!"

"Gyahhahahah! As I expected from the 200000 Rico magic stone I threw in!

Get ready, miss succubus!

You are going to pay that price with your body, for the magic stone too!"

It's… my fault…

Because I didn’t listen to her…

She tried to stop me, saying that it's dangerous…

"Other than that, we have some casualties over here. There's no time to be dillydallying. But, fun comes later.

Okay, miss. Tell us where the orc is, and don't you dare do anything. You, take care of her."

"You… How dare you… Meanie!"

"Kuku… Devils with eyes like that need to be taught some manners.

But now, think about what position you are in because you are an important product.

And don't forget that we sp-pa….!?"

The commander widen his eyes because of something he didn't expect.

I felt that later by seconds.

The spiral of flames was getting smaller.

While I thought about it, it was whirling towards the ground.

*VROOOOOMMMMMMMM*

It’s like there was a high powered ventilation fan inside the flames.

The pillar of flame starts to disappear, and the voice is getting louder and clearer.

At same time, the flame is getting smaller and smaller…

And-

In middle of it, there's a shadow with white and black spots standing there.

"-ar-red-…”

It turns out, the fur has flame resistance. Which Means, no burns.

I trembled in si much glee that it affected me into inner of my nose.

But that glee turned into surprise.

"She's eating…fire???"

She keeps sucking, sucking and sucking.

With no stopping.

Minoko keeps eating the flames without stopping.

Like she's going to eat the air around it too

"Not even the stomach, even her lungs have a 4th dimension in it."

In the end, Minoko ate all the magic released, even small bits of it.

The heat wind turned into something like a gentle spring breeze.

Minoko exhales a puff of black smoke with a burp, which meant something along the lines of 'Thanks for the meal.'

I was worried her lungs were blackened, but is that it?

The ability to 'Absolutely Change Attributes', yes?

Suddenly, I turned and saw the commander. He's awestruck like a crazy man.

I understand the feeling.

But, it's kinda unfair.

For my cow to be unexpectedly overpowered.

While I was awestruck about her ability to eat fire.

She starting to scratch the ground with her back leg loudly.

It's like in a matador ring, showing that it's ready to charge.

She kicks the ground.

This is the first time that she showed her speed.

She runs with the speed of a cannonball-

And with maximum acceleration, directly to the commander - heading towards the target like a steaming train.

"St-stay aawaaaayyyyyy!!!"

With accelerated speed and power, her speed is not much different from other cows.

Even though, her weight maybe over 800kgs even measuring with eyes.

"Don't co- *Oooooouuughhhhhhhhh*"

With that amount of weight.

The force of impact hiting his stomach directly.

His consciousness stops, and he made a sound like he was going to spit his insides out.

But… it doesn't end there.

Minoko, with the commander on her forehead, keeps on running.

It's not 'Hit and get knocked back, softly' like from a horse.

Everything in her path gets crushed.

There's power in every step she took.

And that log cottage, is no exception.

And from back door is not a good behavior.

She rams into the log cottage at full force.

"Uwa…."

That reminded me of when I died.

*BAMCRASHCLUNK*

The Sound of her rampaging in the cottage sounds like total destruction.

And again, she went from the opposite side of the front door.

It's like the destruction of the door inside of Wall Maria. (AoT Reference)

It's as exciting as a large man in armor.

She finally stops.

The commander looks like a torn up rag.

He fell down to the ground, under Minoko's hooves.

He's alive, but covered with blood and spazzing from time to time.

His whole body is broken, but still has a breath like an insect.

She seems like she’s not not going to eat, and not even going to kill him.

She left him and walked to where I am.

With a loud yawn, like a light exercise after a meal.

"D-DEMON!"

"H-HELP ME! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!"

The guys who still have their parts in place screamed like a girl.

Seems like they have no courage to fight anymore.

They Don’t have their bows anymore and they just fell down on their knees.

I pet her head a bit, before looking at them.

I acted up a little bit, like looking at them with dead-cold eyes.

"I remember your faces, your scent.

With this, no matter how far you run. I can find you.

If you don't want to be eaten. Don't ever tell anyone what had happened here."

Even with how I said those sloppy dialogues. Those guys might have thought about getting bitten and chewed off from their heads. Their faces went pale and they shook their head in disagreement.

It's not 'a Fox intimidates with a Tiger.' But 'a Succubus intimidates with a Cow'.

I shut their mouths because now I understand that the relations.h.i.+p between humans and demons is not that good as I expected.

When they knew that I was a demon, they changed their behaviour.

It is decided, I need to hide my ident.i.ty.

In front of humans, I must not tell that I am a demon.

"If you understand. Take your comrades and leave, while you’re still breathing."

After I said those words, they stood up like they were stricken by lightning.

Before running over and carrying both heavily-injured men and a ragdoll commander into the forest like scared rabbits.

The fainted young man was what was left behind.

"Black-hearted people."

In the end, the route to exit the forest is still unknown. But…

I could ask that from that young man after he recovers.

Except from current allies and orcs, I can get the picture.

But…what was that?

I face something that so gross that I could die.

The results is just make bad people know their place.

I didn't want to say like : All wells that ends well, but I feel worse than that.

Like what I had said a bit ago, it didn't quite looked cool.

For me, I didn't aspire to be a hero. But…

Hm, bring down bad guys feels good.

"Uhehe, Minoko. You have done a good work. You deserve a praise."

Saying that.

After overwhelming positivity, Minoko looked at me, sighed in moooo. Her round eyes is saying like 'Isn't there something else more to say?'

Yes, now I do.

I just remembered that I did something stupid on my own.

I stand in front of her before bowing.

The best one is by on knees bowing. (Dogesha.)

"I am an idiot. I did something without caution and make this situation happened. I am truly, truly sorry."

"Moo."

"No, no! Minoko's- No. It's because I don't listen to your warnings, Minoko-sama. It's all my fault!"

"Mooooo."

"Yes, it is! I don't have any qualifications, any skill to do anything. I'm just being a burden to your abilities, Minoko-sama!

Things I wanted to say is not authorized even I'm being judged to have a death sentence!"

Minoko is now in compliment time. She lower her hips with her tip of tail on my head, patting loudly.

It doesn't hurt at all, but more like I have no excuse.

So, from 1 to 10 is all my fault. The only thing I can do is apologize.

"Moo~o."

"Know the danger and realize yourself as a female?… Is that so?

Even you said like that… but I have lived as male for many years. So…

To learn in such short period is… Ah, I'm sorry! Do as need to do, yes!? As I told you, I don't have much sentiment!"

For some while, until I can adjust to Minoko's att.i.tude.

I will keep apologizing as good as possible.

Ahhh, I guess I got the answer.

…The relations.h.i.+p between Master and Underling.

Next Part (CH 11)

"h.e.l.lo? Oi!"

I shake the young man who had fainted due to the impact. I Poked his cheeks and called him a lot of times, but he didn't respond.

A Slender body, with red-brown hair that doesn't match.

As an occupant in a fantasy world, I could say:

A face that looks similar to a neat nerd that I couldn't hara.s.s.

Wearing small gla.s.ses on his face.

For an impression, it's not like he doesn't have on.

It's bit more than commoners, but not like the main cast.

If he's in some kind of story, he's almost comparable to normal person.

"I think your injuries aren't that bad. First of all, let's get you into the cottage."

The one who got those guys was Minoko, but…

This person got hurt because he tried to save me. So taking care of him is kind of reasonable.

I took his left arm and put it over my shoulder, and tried to stand him up.

"H… Heavy…"

But halfway up, no matter how hard I tried, I can't get him up anymore.

Darn it, unconscious people, it's doesn't connect, like—they always get heavier than when they are conscious.

Normally, I'm physically weak.

This slender body, has nothing like those muscles the orcs have.

regardless, I can't still lift him up.

I want to cry. I can't even help by carrying him. How weak I am.

Ah, I can't hold him any longer. I'm feel like I'm going to fall down on my face.

"Minoko! HELP!"

I called for help, but her response is a Moo without a care.

"Please, I'll never say 'annoying' anymore! so please Help me!"

-Help…

Suddenly, he open his eyes. As if he responded to the word 'Help'.

"You thugs leave her alone!"

He jumped to me, while yelling something out.

This guy, is still not in the right mind.

It's seems like a self-sacrificing move as he tried to cover me with his whole body. But…

With me in this state, I, of course, couldn't handle his weight.

I got pushed down.

How many times have I gotten pushed down!?

Uweeee!?

Situations like this, I seen them a lot of times in manga.

The thing that happens when a guy and girl crosses paths. A b.u.mp and a trip trip.

Because he of the way he pushed me, he accidentally groped my b.r.e.a.s.t.s!

This lucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d.

Extra lucky in fact, you get to do whatever you like.

I'm not like the normal girls, so I don't mind my b.r.e.a.s.t.s being groped.

Screaming something like 'EEK! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, YOU A=πr2!?'.

Sadly, I can't do those kinds of reactions like what normal people do.

regardless, you can even grope them all you like. You can ma.s.sage them if you like.

And as I suspected, his hand was at my b.r.e.a.s.t.s when i was pushed to ground.

That hurts.

"IT HURTS!"

As a reaction, I screamed.

And at same time, I gave a right hook to the left cheek of the guy who was groping my pudding.

He rolled away from my body, and made a dry sound like a chicken: 'Ock!'

It hurts! Super painful! What was that!? I can't understand!

…Wait, if i thought about it…

If I tried to handle his weight, with his hand that's trying to push to the ground.

Of course, That'd obviously hurt.

The guy keeps rolling in pain from being hit.

Girls who gets her b.r.e.a.s.t.s groped in an unexpected situation, as said in manga, will hit the guys face.

In truth, it's not from embarra.s.sment.

It's more like 'I'm hurt, and you are going to have to pay it back 3 times.'

by punching them as revenge?

Well, it's kind of inappropriate, but… it's kind of unstoppable.

Because to the person who's feeling it, it does really hurt. No kidding.

And… I finally know one more thing that I don't want to know.

"Wh-Why did you do that so suddenly!?"

He complained, while touching his reddened cheek.

"Why?" I should be the one saying that.

"You groped my b.r.e.a.s.t.s real hard, you know?"

"Eh? Then. That feeling… Because…"

He moved his hand like he's trying to remember the lingering feeling on his palms.

STOP. MOVING. IT.

"A-AH! I'M SORRY! I DIDN'T MEAN IT!"

He seems fl.u.s.tered. I couldn't say this out loud, but… so naïve.

Or should I say: to make a guy's face tomato red?

Ahh. Ooh.

This emotion. I don't know what to do. This complex feeling that I have never felt before.

He keeps looking around hesitantly with his red face.

"Eh? Where are those guys?"

"Oh? Those guys already ran away."

"Because of you?"

"No, that THING behind you."

"Behind? UWA! MI-MI-MINOTAURUS!?"

Yea, yea. I've already gotten bored with that reaction.

"She's not that scary. She just looks like that. But, she's different. If you don't provoke her, she might be easy to talk, or not."

Minoko showed her gum, and make a sound to tease this guy.

He trembles even more.

From Minoko's perspective, humans aren't different from small animals.

"A-Ah, by the way, you didn't have anything terrible done to you while I was out cold right!?"

"Thanks for caring, but my b.r.e.a.s.t.s had just been groped by SOMEONE here."

"I-I'm sorry… but it is good to hear that you are safe."

Wholeheartedly caring for a total stranger, and expressing his relief from the bottom of his heart.

Maybe it's because he's a kind and good person.

"I am very sorry. That I made you think about bad things that had happened. I am really, really sorry."

He is now in the same position that I was in earlier with Minoko.

I thought of something before getting more intrigued with that.

Even this world has a bowing apology.

"That's enough, I don't care about that anymore."

When I said that, he lifted his face up like he's guilty.

Maybe he can give some useful information to me.

So I want a good relations.h.i.+p with him.

I sat on my knees, turning to him naturally.

"I want to talk about something, is that ok?"

"Ah, yes. About what?"

"Well, you remember something before you were fainted, that I want to leave the forest."

"So that means you want a guide, right?"

"Yes, and about accommodation also, if possible."

Am I being blunt?

"Are you… trying to get into human settlements?"

"Is it really as I thought?"

Humans and Demons, the relations.h.i.+p between races could be problematic.

Especially from those guys earlier.

"Errm… Succubus-san…"

"Stop calling me that, I don't like it."

"S-sorry about that. Well, could you tell me your name? My name's Erim Opup."

"Erim is first name, Opup is surname?"

"Yes."

First name before surname, like in other countries, huh.

Well, as they say: When in Rome, do as romans do.

"I'm Riichi Horai. Nice to meet you."

"Richi Holline-san, yes? Nice to meet you too."

Hotto, something like that. It got auto-corrected.

Not Horai, but Holline… Not cool.

Saying that, the kanji for Horai is hard to write down. So I don't quite like that.

Hmm, what to do…

Being reincarnated into another world, maybe changing names into what I like wouldn't be a problem.

Using only my name, and change only the surname??

To Change? Or not to change?

…Well, it's decided.

Thinking about it for a while, I decided that i'll be taking that name with pleasure.

From now on, my name is Richi Holline. Heh, it's kinda cool.

"And… Erim, how old are you?"

"16 years."

"Younger by a year. Well, can I be a little bit more informal then?"

"Sure. Well, may I call you Richi-san?"

"Hmm, about that… It's acceptable."

Maybe because he felt guilty about what he had done to me.

I don't feel as much pressure as before, and i'm in a higher position than Erim.

Thanks to that, even though I'm older than him, I'm able to talk with him normally.

"Before that, may I ask you something? It might sound rude. But… Ri-san, about… how you are harming humans…"

"Nono. I was a human before."

"Eh? Was?"

"Reincarnation, got it?"

"Reincarnation… I've only heard the rumors, but it's like around 20-30 years ago. About how people from other worlds came and reincarnated. But, it's weird that the source is unknown. And then they pa.s.sed down the rumors."

About that… most people who were incarnated went off to have their own fun without much care.

So they kind of died in less than a year.

But that's a relief. If the reincarnation is a thing, so it's easier to operate.

"It may sound crazy, but I really am one of those."

"So you are one of the people who reincarnated."

I told him about my past to now with only the main points.

I died, and got a chance to reincarnate.

I can't accept about being a succubus, and got Minoko.

The reason for being a succubus… I didn't want to because it's way too stupid.

So I didn't explain that I was a male.

"With that reason, I just got reincarnated not long ago. And that I got sent here without a single clue. So that's why I'm in a forest, as a lost kid in the woods."

Erim looked at me in surprise after listening to my whole stupid story.

"Sounds believable?"

"Umm… I would say I believe only half of it. But you came out alone in front of humans, without any preparation. If it's other more highly intelligent demons, they wouldn't come out like that. For sure."

For sure, is it?

Sorry, Minoko. You really are correct in every way.

"The discord between humans and demons is really huge, isn't it? To live in a settlement, if it's possible…"

Like demon settlements, if it's possible to find one.

But for me, who had lived as a human his entire life. It would be hard to getting used to a demon society.

With that said though, even when I was still a human. I couldn't really get into society.

That doesn't mean that I can immediately live in a demon society.

AHHH, IS IT THE END FOR ME!?

"Well, it's like orcs. It's not possible to know a demon only from a glance."

When I'm in despair. Erim gave me a light of hope that I wasn't expected.

"You have very small wings and horns. They won't think about it if you hid them well.

It's not like other races can't live with humans. So they won't inspect you that much."

"Eh!? Really!?"

"Uh, is this a cow? About this, even I was scared first time I saw it. It doesn't look like a minotaur in the end. Just cover it up with something, and let only the horns visible. That would help out a lot. Because the size of wings and horn, is the estimate for their level."

Level? This thing uses that kind of term?

"That is, if I'm aware about horns and wings… I could live in human society without much problem, yes!?"

"Ah. But please hold on first. I couldn't say something painful after making you happy. But… other races that live alongside humans aren't called demons in first place."

"What does that mean?"

"Well, 'Demon' is used for races that bring harm to humans. So, races that are in protection- such as dwarves and elves that live with humans aren't counted as demons."

Oh. As I expected of another world. They do have elves and dwarves.

"How About succubi?"

When I asked, his face turned itself into a sad expression.

"Sorry, they aren't. Succubi entice humans with l.u.s.t. They written as : The race that make humans sinful in l.u.s.t."

So to say, I'm being treated like a true demon then.

It's one-sided thinking though.

Changed appearance, name and being treated like that.

That tells me that I'm totally a real outlaw.

"I wont cause any danger, I swear."

"As long as they still didn't consider the Race department…"

Well, seems pointless.

"So, if there's a search for demons in a village?"

"If they consider something a threat, they will be eliminated. If you try to communicate, and pose no threat, they will be immediately ordered to evacuate. For Riichi-san, I think that will be the latter."

"Even with no hostility, i'd get an immediate evacuation…"

Well, it's better than being eliminated.

How can I think? I'll to be able to survive by myself from time to time in short periods.

But, if I'm not with Minoko… I could be…

Situations like that are extremely scary. I should stop thinking about that.
