Succubus' Life in Another World

Chapter 16: Grim March's Invitation

Why is someone of your caliber here in a place like this!? Right now, you should immediately enroll to the Magecraft Academy!! Hyaa!?

Because he suddenly drew near me and grabbed my hand, I ended up reflexively tripping him up and hurling him away. And since its obviously impossible to hurl an adult with this bodys physical strength, I also applied Levitation Magic.

Ah Crap

I ended up reflexively hurling him, but I came to my senses and look at him. Ahh~ he got knocked out, but it seems like thats all. Although theres a bump on his head, its a relief that he didnt get any severe injuries. Its probably because Levitation was active until he fell on the ground.

Yup, no problem at all! You dont call this no problem, you know!? Whyd you suddenly hurl the examiner!?

Saying so, Arisa and Grimhart press me for answers. Well, even if you tell me that, I cant help it, you know?

Its not my fault, its because he came up to me like that Yeah, even if hes a Purple Peer, that doesnt matter. Its his fault for suddenly grabbing a girls hand. There may not be any problem for Arisa, but Lily and Lysha are delicate, you know? This time, its Philips fault.

Saying so, Grey and Lysha supported me in coordination(?). Im a bit dissatisfied with how they put it, but its my fault for ending up screaming cutely just because a man grabbed my hand, so I really have no excuse for myself. For some reason, ever since I got this body, there are some moments when I suddenly realize that Im a woman now. Is it my mind being influenced by my body, or is it just how I really am? Well, its pointless to think about it anyway so lets leave it at that. But really, what do I do with this.

Ahaha, it doesnt seem like theres any serious damage so just leave him laying down as is. As expected, what happened right now is no good even from the guilds standpoint. Is that so? Then let me just

Saying so, I fix only the bump on the back of his head with Heal. While Im at it, since theres a coin-sized bald spot I try applying Heal on it and hair starts growing from it. It looks a bit gross, but with Heal theres no need to fear baldness huh. Thinking about it, I do remember hearing that its caused by the hair roots being damaged. So if you heal the damage then itll naturally grow back huh.

Well then, please wait here. Your Guild Card will be issued shortly .

Saying so, Petra guided us to a separate room. Theres a fluffy couch and even sweets and tea-cakes on the table. Yup, thats really considerate of them. I immediately reach out to one and examine it closely. What is this? It looks like some kind of cookie but theres a sauce along with it.

First, I try a bite. Hmm, theres not much flavor, huh. I reflexively frowned. Next, I try dipping it with the sauce it came with and timidly put it in my mouth. Ohh, delicious! Is this a strawberry jam? So its not a cookie but a scone, huh.

What? Its nothing~ Nothing in particular.

Suddenly sensing a gaze I look towards it, not only Arisa and Grimhart but also Lysha, Grey, and even Jarvis is looking at me. What, if you want to eat too, then why dont you just go ahead and eat as you like? Thinking so, I once again start munching on the scone.

(Pfft Shes like a hamster.) (Dont say that Still, shes really expressive, dont you think?) (Just suddenly frowning, suddenly smiling, then suddenly getting angry. Im no Arisa, but shes so cute~.) (Yeah, if I have a child with Lysha then a daughter like her would be) (Lily!Lily!Lily!Lilyyyyyyyccccccccccccuuuuuuuuuuuuuttttttttttttttttteeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~~)

Theyre really weird. If you want to say something, then just say it. While I watch over them with a confused look, I quietly wait for the Guild Card to be finished.

Here. Well then, this will be Lilys Guild Card. Since Lilys Magic Power is registered on the card, other people are unable to use it without permission. Also, reissuing a card will cost you three large gold coins, so please be careful. Lily is now a D-Rank. Just in case, we can also register you as a member of the C-Rank Grim March, is that alright? Eh? Grim March? Whats that? Eh? Ehhhh!?

Whats she surprised about? I look at Grimhart behind me and he has an awkward look on his face.

Eh? Ah, is she talking about. Yeah, my bad. I didnt tell you. Its our Party Name.

It seems like thats the reason. Grimharts pretty tough to add a part of his own name to their party name, huh. Ten years later, hell probably start writhing in embarrassment.

Haha, well, Leader is a bit embarrassed about it. Still, all of us were invited by Grim to become adventurers, you know? So everyone decided that we should have Grims name in our party name. Everyone but Grim, you see!

Well, Arisa. Even saying that with a large grin and wink, I think theres still a problem with that, you know?

Ah, geez! Quiet! So how about it, Lily? Will you join our party, Grim March?

For me, its a really tempting offer. Living in this world, theyll surely be reliable. And being with thems really fun too. But still

Im sorry. Im really thankful for the offer, but Id like to decline for now. I see. Just in case, can I ask why? Theres a lot that I dont know. I want to learn all about them, but somewhere along the line, theres a chance that I might quit being an adventurer. And when that happens, Im sure that itll cause you trouble. Thats why for now, I dont intend to join in any existing party. I see, thats regrettable. I really thought that wed finally have a decent Mage with us for once! Ehh~! So youre saying that Im not decent!?

Having the mood slowly turning gloomy, Grimhart and Arisa washed it away with a joke. I really cant thank them enough. What I said right now is really what I think, but thats not all. Right now, Im in a sealed state. What will happen if the seal comes loose, even I dont know for sure. When that happens and if Im forced to part with them, Im sure that itll be too painful for me to do

In any case, Ive reached the city and secured my social status as an adventurer. The next thing to do would be to interact with the locals. I am a bit curious about the Magecraft Academy, so after going through this city to some extent, having a look there seems like a good idea.
