Succubus' Life in Another World

Chapter 18: Gossip

E-everyones? Yeah. A female solo, whos a Mage, and can use Storage Magecraft. And in addition, made Philip faint and so on. Each one is a subject for discussion.

It seems like the number of female adventurers is quite low. With the rate being one female for every five males, and since most adventurers have already formed parties, they end up forming parties with other female adventurers. Thats why free girls like me are rare, it seems.

At the same time, it seems like free Mages themselves are quite rare too. Generally, after learning the basics from Training School, most end up forming parties with fellow Training School students. Rather, theres a Training School, huh. I feel like visiting for a bit, but can I still enroll now?

And topping it all off was Storage Magecraft. To be exact, mine is the Race Skill Dream Storage so its different from that, but the part where you can put things away is the same. By the way, my Dream Storage takes the target into my dream. As the dream is a space which I can change as I want, I can maintain the targets state as much as I like.

Well, so to speak, I can stop time and stop things from rotting, and conversely, I can speed up time and make things age and weather. I can also manufacture and process things as much as I want, but I cant make something from nothing, so raw materials become necessary. It may seem a bit useless since I can make things by using Dream Fabrication, but things created by using Dream Fabrication are just dreams, after all. If I need food or things that will most likely lose their original form, then preparing it using Dream Storage would be the only valid option.

And about the Storage Magecraft used by other people. Im told that it uses Magecraft to create a small-scale dimensional pocket where you can store things inside. The amount that can be stored reflects on the amount of Magic Power the caster had at the time of creation, and since it seems like the Spell Formula used to make the pocket dimension has various descriptors that can be appended, the state inside the pocket dimension can be modified. Of course modifying it will cost more Magic Power, so most Storage Magecraft users just put most of their Magic Power into enlarging the space, or so Im told.

Thats why everybody knows about you. Specifically, everybodys desperate to have you in their party. Like this? Yeah, like that. You damn brat! Dont ignore me!! Im telling you that the D Rank Party Gale Viper is going to make use of you!

I was listening to the dog-eared girl aka Uranias gossip, and like this, some jackass just suddenly comes to grab me. As expected, it seems like Im a person that everybody really wants to take into their party, but since its also become a rumor that Ive turned down Grim Marchs invitation, the more decent parties just look from afar without calling out to me.

But the idiot calling out to me right now is different. They look down on Grim March, saying that the party only ranked up this far because of luck and even spoke of their terribly stupid delusion that The only reason were stuck on D Rank is because the guilds holding us back! proving them to have stupidity beyond saving. Obviously, I dont intend to join a party with those kinds of people in it

Uhh, I can do them in, right? If its between adventurers, as long as theres no one injured, its fine. Okay, well then. I ask, with the black chains of restraint, let this insolent fool be Bound! Mngh!?

Making up a random chant, I used Bind Magic. This way there wont be any wounded and now that I even sealed his mouth, I can go without hearing that unbearably annoying voice. I did considerably hold back more or less, but he couldnt even react. Arent you too weak?

Leader!? Damn ! Dont get cocky!! You want to die!?

Its probably Gale Vipers members, the crude idiots put their hands on their swords. Right now, we could just end it as a foolish dispute, but you wont be able to avoid punishment if you draw those, you know?

The others also seem to have noticed Gales intent and started getting flustered. Well, its also my fault for provoking them by purposely ignoring him because I got irritated by his excessive arrogance. Luckily, if I restrain them with Bind now, we can probably still gloss it over. In that case

I as-Whats this commotion!? Master!? Its the Guild Master!

When I promptly started casting my fake chant, a loud angry voice echoed through the guild. It seems like the Guild Master of Motsis Adventurer Guild has arrived. Its a common plot cliche, but when the Guild Master gets involved things turn into something big.

Master! Punish her! Even though our Leader was going to kindly teach her the basics, she just suddenly used magic!! Is that true?

Like that, a guy from Gale fed the Guild Master some half-truths, but things dont work that easily.

Its . When I was having Urania teach me some things, the guy lying over there suddenly forced himself in our conversation and started soliciting me into his party. Since I dont feel like joining anyones party for now, I ignored him but since he suddenly grabbed hold of me, I restrained him for my own safety. Are there no discrepancies? Also, they were about to draw their swords.

I indifferently explained the truth, and the Guild Master asks Urania for confirmation. Urania nodded silently, and after that, I deliberately added the part theyve kept quiet about. I dont particularly need to cover up for them, so thats not my problem.

Shut up! Damn lying !! Ignoring other peoples kindness, you !! Silence!! You fools picked a fight like this with some rookies last week, right? Im sure that Ive told you that itll be the last time Id let it fly, right!? Is there anyone who was here from the beginning? Hmm, Rylbert and Jinyas, huh. Alright, come! Tell me everything that happened! You fools go to a different room! Sorry, but Ill need to get the details from both of you, too!

Were supposed to be the victims here, but, well, having a neutral stance means that he does need to listen to all sides impartially, huh. And just when I finally happened upon a cute girl, I ended up getting dragged into some trouble. No, Im the one that ended up dragging Urania into trouble, huh? I ended up giving her some problems.
