“Kuskus, hey, look, this little girl here is trying hard to protect her older brother
”
“So sweet. Then I’ll make you a special offer to show me how good you can make your brother feel.”
“Kyahahahaha, what an idiot you are!”
“Don’t give me that, you like it too, right? A desperate woman from another race.”
The succubi circled around Bash and the others, saying whatever came to their mind. Ludo turned red and looked away, and Luka held out her arms menacingly to protect him.
“By the looks of it, they’re idiots for crossing the border, aren’t they? It’s nice for the border guards to have a little fun once in a while. We’d like you to share some of that with us. Venus, you and I are friends, right? Aside from the little kid, we can get a lot out of the big guy, can’t we? Huh? He’s not too charmed, is he? Perhaps your charm isn’t strong enough. I’ll charm him too, just to make sure
”
“Cucumber. Look at his face, not just his crotch. You’re being incredibly rude right now.”
Instead, Venus’ words were merciless. The woman she was talking to, Cucumber, looked her in the eyes and shook her body.
“Rude? What do you mean by that? I didn’t exaggerate either
 I even
”
Cucumber turned her gaze to Bash’s face as if to apologize. The other succubi did the same. They stood there for a few seconds.
“Um
 it can’t be, it can’t be that you are Sir Bash, the Orc Hero, right?”
“That’s right.”
The moment Bash nodded, Cucumber and the others’ postures straightened to the point where they almost made a crunching sound. Their hips, which had been bent like a cat’s, straightened like a large tree; their faces, which had been tilted slightly to the side and held at a confident angle, straightened; their chins tucked back; and their right hands moved to the sides of their faces. It was the formal greeting of the succubus army. However, their clothing was a bit provocative.
“Forgive us!”
“No, um
”
“Hey!”
At Cucumber’s words, the other succubi hurried to the back alley. What they brought out of the alley were cloths for three people. When Cucumber and the others put them on, they hid their skinny but gorgeous bodies. As for Bash, he was a little disappointed but relieved at the same time.
“My name is Cucumber! You saved all of us during the defense of the Pyles River! Sir Bash, the Orc Hero! I’m so sorry for our attitude!”
“I’m sorry!”
Cucumber then pulled out a dagger.
“I’m so sorry, sir! Not only that, we even tried to eat you! That’s a disgrace to the proud succubus race! I will pay with my life here and now!”
“That’s not
”
“However, these two are still inexperienced! I beg you to spare them with just my life! Then enjoy the scattering of this fool’s life! May my blood splatter the spirit of the remaining warriors! I really sorry!”
Bash grabbed her arm and stopped her from stabbing herself in the heart.
“It’s okay. I don’t mind.”
Succubi never charmed someone they really respected. It was a bit disappointing from Bash’s point of view, but the current situation was also convenient for him. Regardless of Bash’s abilities, he was not immune to the succubus’ charm.
However, despite Bash’s feelings, succubi were unusual.
“How generous of you!”
“He even took her hand and stopped her. He didn’t hesitate to take the hand of an ugly woman like Squadron Captain Cucumber
”
“I suppose watching Captain Cucumber die would spoil his eyesight. After all, she’s just a woman lusting after her benefactor.”
“You two were like that too, weren’t you?”
Anyway, the succubi’s gazes changed from those of boiling flesh to those of envy and respect. Their eyes, which had been heart-shaped, became star-shaped and shone.
“However, Sir Bash, we are glad that you have come to our country, but please be careful.”
“What do you mean?”
“Now this country is forgetting its pride. When you walk its streets, please don’t be alone, and let Venus be by your side as much as possible.”
“Hmm
?”
At these words, Bash bowed his head slightly. The gesture was casual. But to the succubus and the others, it was a very tender gesture, and it made their hearts pound and race, which they had just tried to stop.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I don’t plan on staying that long. As soon as we pick up Zell and greet the queen, we’ll leave.”
“I understand! Well, Sir Bash, thank you for talking to us! It will be a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life and be proud of for generations to come!”
“Thank you very much!”
Their heads bowed in unison. Neither their beautiful hair nor their magnificent bodies were visible. Dressed in cloth, the veteran warriors looked like three caterpillars from above.
Their appearance seemed to symbolize the succubi of today.
