Succubus' Life in Another World

Chapter 33: Arisa's Attack

A-arisa, stop! Nope~! This is punishment for making us worry, okay~!

Saying so, Arisa carries me while rubbing her cheeks on mine. Shes really treating me like a kid, its really embarrassing, so I desperately struggled to escape. But no matter how much I struggle, I still couldnt shake off Arisas clutches. Arisas a slender, female Mage so she looks like she has barely any physical strength. And although Im also a female Mage, who even looks like a child, I shouldve been strong enough to break free. Yet despite that, there isnt any sign of Arisa losing her hold.

U-urania! Lily! Let go of her!

Asking Urania, she immediately grapples Arisas arm. However, at that moment, I felt Arisas eyes mysteriously gleam.

Whats this cute little creature~~~!!! Eh? W-wha!?

Urania should have been grappling Arisas arm, but before I even noticed, shes being carried in Arisas arm. Since Arisas still carrying me, shes carrying both me and Urania at the same time, but for some reason, I feel that its a lot more balanced than before.

Ehe, ehehe Therere two cute creatures Ehehehehe~ Release us! Let, go!

Though Urania and I are desperately struggling to break free, looking at Arisa, theres no sign of her restraints weakening. And despite being held on this tightly, why doesnt it feel oppressively tight? No, really, please, let go of us already. The adventurers around are looking at us with amazingly affectionate warm eyes. Hey! Ms. Bikini Armor right in front of us; what exactly are you planning with your hands moving like that? Are you getting ready to pounce at us any time soon?

H-help- Come on, thats enough. Fgyah!

The one that saved us from this pinch was Grim Marchs leader, Grimhart. Thanks to a deadly chop that just visited Arisas forehead, our restraints got loose, and we were able to safely break free. While we were escaping, I took the chance to kick her shin with my heel. So right now, Arisas crouching paralyzed by the pain coming from both her head and her shin.

Grimhart, thanks for saving us. Thanks. No, sorry about her. Still, we really were worried about you two. Just understand that. Ugh-

Being told that, I cant really talk back to them. Still, this and that are different things.

Thats were really sorry about that, but were adventurers too. There will be times that well stay out for more than a day for reasons, so its going to be troublesome if something like this happens every time. You have a point. Still, most of the adventurers here dont know what youre capable of. We only know that Lilys a powerful Mage, but other than your Magecraft, we dont know a lot about you. We also have no idea how capable is the young Dog Ear-kin lady over there.

Thats certainly true. Though its in the Guild Card that Im a Rank D adventurer; that only means Ive cleared the Guilds standards. No matter how much we tell them Were strong enough to be D rank, you know?, with how young we look, it may be reasonable for people to underestimate us.

Still, that cant be helped. After all, its not like we can just go We really are strong! and pick fights with random people.

Since thats the case, why dont we try having a mock battle? Hah?

According to Grimhart, this Guilds ridiculously large buildings are equipped with several training areas. So how about we use one of them and have a mock battle with everybody? Well be able to show everybody our strength and the mock battle itself would be a great learning experience.

Still, the main objective here is interaction. For a lot of reasons, adventurers have a hard time finding ourselves a permanent home. Its often the case that we just suddenly drop dead, and sometimes we die inside Dungeons without anyone finding out. We cant really stop those from happening. However, what we can do is to live on in someones memory. Dying in some random place without anyone even noticing is pretty lonely, dont you think? Thats why we should regularly interact with each other so that at least we can leave memories with our comrades, right? Grimhart Hm? What is it? Youre too cheesy. Wha!?

When I made fun of Grimharts speech, the whole Guild burst with laughter. Well, the interaction part is something that I agree with too. These days, Ive been asking Urania about various things and have acquired some knowledge, but still, I feel like Im still lacking the so-called common sense. After all, even Urania has a lot of things she doesnt know about, and she also doesnt have much of the adventurers common sense, it seems. To obtain those kinds of information, I do think we need to interact with other adventurers, so this should be a good chance.

Looking at Urania, she gives me a silent nod. She probably knows what Im thinking about.

Grimhart Now what Well do the mock battle. I do feel like the live-on-as-a-memory stuff is a bit too negative. Still, interaction is really important, after all. Ohh! Then its decided, Ill try gathering participants for tomorrow!

With this, Urania and I decided to join the Grim March sponsored mock battle.
