I Own A Brothel In Another World (Ch. 1-196)

Chapter 67 - A Surprise to Be Sure, but a Welcome One ❤

Fortunately, on our way back home, we do not stumble on the mage again. I was partially expecting him to stay somewhere in close vicinity to confront me after our previous exchange, but perhaps he had something to do or the group of people that was with him dragged him away. Nevertheless, better for him.

We don't dilly-dally too much while returning and arrive at the mansion decently fast. After entering the main lobby, Cornelia throws her hands over my shoulders and pulls me closer for a short and affectionate kiss. She smiles gently after we break off.

"Thank you again for standing up for me. And for our short date. I'll excuse myself now to see what I can prepare for you to take for this little trip. You also have plenty of work to do, right?"

I close the distance once more to leave a gentle peck on her dainty lips before answering.

"It was only natural, don't think too much of it. But..." I lean towards her ear and whisper, "you sure we should leave this without a conclusion? I can sense your little arousal..."

Cornelia chuckles gingerly and whispers back, "I'm afraid my puny mortal body will end up useless for the rest of the day after experiencing the love of a demigod, even with the help of your Rejuvenate, and we truly have many things to do."

"Alright. Just remember, holding back is unhealthy."

"And look who is speaking. I do not believe you are not holding back constantly when surrounded with beauties—AH!"

A yelp of surprise interrupts her sentence as I lightly slap Cornelia's booty and smirk at her. "You better go before I change my mind."

She leaves my embrace and walks away, definitely doing her best to make her movements as enticing as possible and stopping for a short moment to send me a tempting gaze before disappearing behind a corner. Who would have thought she would grow fond of teasing me back this fast. Guess I can only draw out her cute, tsun reactions in public now.

To not waste the precious time, I sit on one of the sofas for a moment and formulate a plan on what to do next as there are truly many things I, or we, have to cover, and they are not only related to the establishment but the whole adventuring aspect too, closely linked with just my own person.

Let's leave the brothel's matters for now and focus on the other ones. The most critical issue here is the core of the whole case - the Succubus. Obviously, it's not that I'm clueless about them. It should be obvious to anyone that studying the information on these beings would have come first, right? I mean, you land in a fantasy world and gain access to a huge library. As a man, checking out Succubi first is just the natural order of things. Heh.

So, as for knowledge about their strong points, weaknesses, general style of living and such, I'm pretty much covered. But, I'm not heading out to slay the monster. My goal is to capture it, or preferably, win the Succubus over to join me as my Partner and, if possible, a worker. There should be plenty of men lusting after a literal lust demon, even in this world.

But, my whole Class operates on two important things: acceptance and consent. I can only add someone to my Partners if they accept me willingly and I can gain more benefits from them only after they willingly choose to take it a step further, into the intimate zone.

While I'm almost completely sure the latter part would not be a problem, considering the nature of the entity we are going after, the whole acceptance might prove difficult. So far, pretty much every girl of another race I've met was favourable towards me with just a little bit of effort and kindness, but I shouldn't let it make me complacent. It won't always work like that.

And Astrea is a good example here. Same as with others, I approached her with kindness and she started living with us, but she's the only one who is still not my Partner even for the sake of the connection itself. I can't make her. And it's of course fine with me.
