Chapter 26 – / 26

“This is the place.”

Minwoo followed Jerome into a small room and let out a small exclamation at the sight of the inside of the room.

It was no exaggeration to say that the room was made up of three circles.

First of all, the room itself was shaped like a circle. Is it about the size of a tennis court? It felt as if a space of that size had been created in the shape of a circle.

The bed located in the center of the room was also circular in shape. At best, it was twice the size of a king size. It was a bed so gorgeous that you thought, “It must be good to hit rice cakes in a place like that.”

Lastly, a larger round magic circle was engraved on the stone floor under the bed. The purpose was unknown.

The pink light emanating from the magic circle was brightly lighting up the interior of the room, which at first glance seemed bleak. Although he had never been there before, Minwoo thought that this might be what a love hotel felt like.

Jerome, who was standing next to him, said.

“You can lie down on the bed and wait comfortably. It would be better to take off your clothes. If you are sleepy, you can sleep. After all, succubi can visit you even in your dreams.”

“Okay. But do you need such elaborate preparations to summon a succubus?”

As Minwoo asked that question and lay down on the bed with his panties on, Jerome continued his explanation.

“No. There is no need for any preparation to call a succubus. All I have to do is call them and they will come here on their own.”

“Hmm? Then what are these magic circles?”

“Of course, it’s for Minwoo.”

“..For me?”

“Can we say this is a full preparation for the upcoming fight?”

Fight? No, I don’t know how to do that at all.

Minwoo tried to say that, but Jerome’s next words revealed the true meaning of the word fight.

“It’s the lonely fight of one man who has to fight alone against demons.”

No, it has become even more unclear.

…

Jerome said that the succubus could come to you even in your dreams, so it didn’t matter if you were sleeping, but Minwoo thought that the lights from the magic circle were so loud that he wouldn’t be able to sleep even if he wanted to. Moreover, Minwoo had another reason why he had to stay awake.

“Because I can’t use this in a dream.”

Minwoo muttered that while stroking the light stick button with his finger.

How much time has passed?

Suddenly, with a deafening noise, something similar to black fog began to appear in the air in the center of the room. Black hole? Gaps in space? What on earth should we call that?

Before Minwoo had time to worry about such things, a woman jumped out of the black space.

No, let me correct that. Two women…No, three…Four…

“…”

Minwoo was at a loss for words, and he just stared blankly at the scene.

Only after spitting out as many as seven women did the gap in space close its mouth and disappear.

The seven succubi were constantly chatting with each other like market ladies. From the beginning, his attitude was as if he couldn’t even see Minwoo. However, if you look closely, you can see that their eyes are constantly moving, glancing at Minwoo’s appearance.

Minwoo felt her head hurt.

“I thought it was a single item, but it was a course meal…”

Is this what recession meant?

Only then did Minwoo understand Jerome’s words, but it was already too late to turn back.

…

“Kyaha, what is it? It’s pretty real, isn’t it?”

“Looks old. Face is ugly. Not my taste.”

“Momo, do you care about your appearance even though you look like you’re starving to death?”

“Hey… Can’t we start after letting him sleep first..?”

“Sasha… You’re still inexperienced, right?”

“Wow… A big deal… It looks like there was mold at the entrance…”

“You’re too much…”

“I don’t need it all..! I don’t care about anything as long as I buy the stuff! So let’s eat it right away!”

“Yes! I’m first!”

“What are you saying?”

“…”

There was literally no bottom to the market. Minwoo was so distracted that he forgot the existence of Gyeonggwangbong and just stared blankly at the seven succubi talking.

Meanwhile, one of the tallest and most mature-looking succubi raised his hand high and spoke.

“Let’s sleep, everyone be quiet..! Pay attention!”

Fortunately, thanks to her, the succubi soon quieted down.

“Hmm… I know it’s nice to see you all after a long time, but we came here under special orders from the Demon King. Please show a more polite side.”

“Yes!”

At that moment, despite the girls’ revealing outfits, the word kindergarten came into Minwoo’s mind. It looked like kindergarten students and their teacher on a picnic.

The tall succubus continued speaking.

“Well, you may have heard this from Jerome, but let me explain it briefly again. The person who is here right now is the anti-hero, Minwoo. We are gathered here today to awaken Minwoo into an incubus.”〈 Br〉
“Question!”

The one who raised her hand was the loudest succubus.

“Is it really necessary for all of us to come to awaken one human male? I think one person would be enough…”

“That’s a good question.”

I agree with that too. That’s a very good question. I was curious about that too. Minwoo also pricked up his ears.

Why did Jerome summon seven succubi? No matter how much Minwoo does, it would be difficult to deal with them all at once. It may be that he has already become an incubus, but his stamina is limited right now.

Conversely, I don’t want to die from being sucked in.

The tall succubus answered the question.

“Actually, I don’t know the exact reason either. But Jerome called all of us. That means we are all needed for this ritual. So, let’s put aside any doubts and do our best in what we have to do. I do it.”

No, there was no answer at all.

But the succubi nod their heads as if they understand.

“Then shall we decide the order first? Let’s decide equally using rock, paper, scissors. Oh, I’d rather be last, so you can leave out.”

Soon, a real scene was created where six succubi gathered in a circle and played rock, paper, scissors. It was, without a doubt, the most ridiculous sight among all the strange sights Minwoo had ever seen since he was born.

“Rock, paper, scissors!”

Soon the turn was decided.

“Eh… Sasha is the first?”

“Not fun.”

“Are you going to start after putting him to sleep anyway? Start quickly.”

“Why don’t we just get married today? It’s been a hundred years since our youngest, Lulu, got married too.”

“Ugh…”

Sasha, a succubus whose bangs were long enough to cover her eyes, cowered her body to the jeers of the other succubus sisters. It seemed like she was the succubus that Jerome had mentioned earlier, that she was still a virgin.

The fact that a succubus is a virgin is definitely funny.

“Stop, stop! Everyone, stop teasing Sasha too much. It’s just that she’s very shy.”

The tall succubus calmed down her children and comforted Sasha’s shoulders.

“Sasha, you can do it your way. There are other children anyway.”

“..Yes, Sister Lili.”

Perhaps encouraged by Lili’s words, Sasha walked forward and stood in front of Minwoo. Minwoo looked like he had already given up thinking.

“Ah… Can’t we just attack them all at once?”

“Be quiet, Bibi!”

When even her most talkative succubus, Vivi, closed her mouth, Sasha took a moment to catch her breath and held out her hand. Minwoo quietly looked at that scene.

“…”

“…”

How much time has passed?

“…”

“Huh..?”

“…”

“Uhm… “

“…”

“..Heeing.”

Hey, what are you doing now?

Looking at Sasha, who was crying as if something wasn’t going as she expected, Minwoo looked at her with a pitiful expression.

Sasha said in tears.

“Uh, over there…”

“…”

“Wait… Can’t you sleep more often?”

“…”

“..Black.”

As Minwoo remained silent without any response, Sasha became more and more depressed.

“Aww, it’s frustrating! Can’t even use a sleep spell properly? Are you a succubus?”

Vivi, who was watching this scene next to her, stepped forward and pushed Sasha to her side as if she was frustrated. Then she held out her hand to Minwoo just like Sasha did earlier.

“Watch what this Bibi sister does. Umm..!”

“…”

Another long time passed.

“Huh..? Why doesn’t it work..?”

“…”

“Ugh..!”

“…”

“Keueuung..!”

“You guys.”

“Wow, what a surprise!”

When Minwoo finally opened his mouth, Vivi stepped behind her in surprise. Minwoo said, tapping his palm like a parent holding a baton.

“I’m just asking, just in case. Are you trying to put me to sleep?”

“Well, but…?”

For some reason, Vivi found it strange that she was intimidated by the human man in front of her, and inadvertently cowered.

Minwoo continued.

“Shouldn’t we at least ask ourselves about that?”

“Eh… Is that so…? But we’ve never let you sleep with permission until now…”

Yes, that will happen. I don’t think there will be a succubus that asks to attack you from now on.

But their circumstances were none of Minwoo’s business.

Minwoo said with a cold smile.

“I guess you guys need to get some etiquette training.”

The light came on.
