You didn't expect this, did you? I've time-traveled again!

"No need to thank me, this is part of the bounty you received for catching the cabbage, it's what you deserve."

Although Kazuma Sato didn't take the bounty and contributed the money as operating funds for the team, Takeru Suoh wasn't a greedy person who only took in money and never gave it back; he would still give Suoh the pocket money he was entitled to.

"Alright, we've finished eating, it's time for us to go back."

Suoh Takeshi told the group, who had eaten and drunk their fill, to head home.

"Wait, Suoh-senpai."

Kazuma Sato called out to the group who had already gotten up to leave.

"I'll go back in a bit."

"What's wrong, Sato-kun? Do you need our help?"

"This is my own business... No, can you help me, Suoh-senpai?"

Sato Kazuma initially wanted to refuse, but the next second he changed his mind and said meaningfully, "Only Suoh-senpai needs to come!"

"Hmm... just one person... that's fine."

Since the entire team doesn't need to be mobilized, let the others go back and rest first.

"Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness, you should go back first."

"Okay." X2

"..."

Darkness remained silent; she had been like that all day.

Her condition is somewhat concerning.

After parting ways with the three women, Suoh Takeshi followed behind Sato Kazuma.

"Sato-kun, where are we going?"

"Ahem... Senior Suoh, just come with me."

Kazuma Sato sneaked around in secluded alleys, making all sorts of twists and turns that made people dizzy. When asked where he was going, he would evade the question and not tell the truth.

He only understood why after the two arrived at a shop hidden in an alley.

——Succubus Shop

Below that is a line of smaller print: May you have sweet dreams tonight.

Kazuma Sato pointed to the shop and said in a low voice:

"This is the secret of male adventurers, the sacred place that Gis and Dust told me about."

"A sacred place... a mere shop run by a succubus?"

Suoh Takeshi had nothing to say about this.

"So, what do you mean?"

"Let's go together."

Kazuma Sato answered instantly.

"No, I'll pass."

Suoh Takeshi immediately refused.

"Wait a moment, please hear me out, Suoh-senpai. These succubi pose no threat to us male adventurers!"

When he saw Suoh Takeshi turn to leave, he quickly stopped him to explain.

"These succubi only appear when we're sleeping..."

"They would only let male adventurers dream of erotic and exciting scenes while they were sleeping."

In return, they absorb a portion of the male adventurers' vital energy as sustenance, and also help them release their pent-up energy...

Isn't it? "

"Huh... You know him, Suoh-senpai?!"

"of course."

In fact, Suoh Takeshi knew that such succubus shops existed.

But he didn't specifically look for it, nor did he have any intention of experiencing it.

"Um, um..."

"Why don't you just go by yourself?"

Zhou Fangwu noticed that he had something on his mind but did not stop him.

Every man has to have that day eventually, it's just a matter of time.

"By the way, Sato-kun, don't go back tonight."

Suoh Takeru seemed to have thought of something and said to him:

"That Aqua definitely set up a sacred barrier around the mansion. Succubi are undead, so Aqua will definitely find them."

“Uh… Suoh-senpai is right.”

Kazuma Sato nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.

Given Aqua's personality, she would definitely set up a sacred barrier near the mansion, just as Suoh Takeshi said.

Succubi are undead, how could Aqua let them go?

If the succubus begs for mercy and then exposes herself, wouldn't that be a complete social death?

Kazuma Sato thought for a moment and said, "Um... I think I'll stay at a hotel tonight."

"Sure, I'll explain to the three of them."

"Thank you, Suoh-senpai. I'm off!"

"be careful."

Seeing Sato Kazuma rushing inside excitedly, Suoh Takeshi shook his head and chuckled.

Even if this guy has mentally stepped onto the ladder of adulthood, he hasn't truly become an adult.

and many more!

Wouldn't that make things even worse?

[Question]:

Which is more unacceptable, the mental or the physical?

Chapter 053 Aqua's Bizarre Operation

After parting ways with Kazuma Sato, Takeshi Suo did not go straight back to the mansion, but instead went to the Adventurers' Guild.

The guild was in an uproar.

The adventurers were scattered in small groups in various corners. Some were boasting about their heroic deeds, some were talking about their fruitful day, and some male adventurers were whispering about secret gossip.

It was noisy and the atmosphere was extremely cheerful.

The life of an adventurer is simple and unpretentious, and... not boring at all.

"Welcome! Ah, it's Suoh-kun, you've arrived."

"Hey, Luna, good evening."

"good evening."

Although the Adventurers' Guild operates until late at night, not all the staff work overtime; only one or two staff members stay on duty each day.

Today, it just so happens that the person who stayed was the counter clerk, Luna.

Luna, a flower of the Adventurers' Guild.

If I had to describe her in one sentence, then "a single woman in her late thirties who desperately longs for a happy marriage" would be the most fitting description.

Honestly.

Luna's appearance is well-known in the Adventurers' Guild, and her full, voluptuous, and enormous bosom attracts the vast majority of male adventurers to come and admire her.

But for some reason, despite her stunning looks, no one approached her or tried to pluck this beautiful rose from the sky.

Are you on duty today?

"It's me, Suoh-kun. Would you like to order?"

"No, let's skip it tonight."

Luna smiled and tried to lead Suoh Takeshi to sit down, but Suoh Takeshi refused outright.

"I'm here to collect my mission reward."

Suo Takeshi explained the purpose of his visit.

"I completed the [Exorcise the Evil Spirit from the Mansion] quest last night, so I'm here today to collect the bounty."

"Ah, is that so! I didn't expect that it was Suoh-kun's team that completed this mission. They're really amazing!"

Luna praised him in surprise, then turned and led him to the counter.

"Suoh-kun, please come with me."

Luna arrived at the counter and began the registration process.

With her skillful work, she was incredibly fast, and in no time she had finished calculating all the mission rewards.

"Here is 150 million Eris, that's all the bounty for the mission."

"Oh, thanks."

The military commander of Suoh put away the money and then asked:

"By the way, what's the deal with this mission? Why are so many evil spirits gathering at the mansion? Do you know why?"

"This one..."
