Chapter 464: Lord Hero, Hurry and Subdue the Succubus!
"Servant, come out and view the cherry blossoms! Come to Ueno Park!"
Ryohei, who had just left the gym with Yurine, received a call from Jashin-chan.
The moment he answered—
This invitation came through the phone!
"Huh? What are you suddenly saying?" Ryohei half-squinted his eyes and moved the phone into his line of sight.
Without even thinking, he knew this was a prank.
Because it was too sudden!
Coupled with the fact that today was April Fools' Day, and the one calling to invite him was Jashin-chan—there was absolutely no need to think about it!
"Flower viewing!"
Outside the villa—
Jashin-chan held her phone, her eyes curving into crescents, and said with a sly face: "I've scrolled through quite a few short videos recently of people drinking and eating snacks under cherry blossom trees; it looks amazing!"
"I want to experience it!"
"Lucoa and Pekola are here too."
Speaking up to here, Jashin-chan gestured towards the two tall figures beside her and said: "Come on, make a squeak for him!"
"Squeak~~~."
Lucoa raised her hand to smooth her long blonde hair with highlights by her ear, and leaned over. The neckline of her black tank top naturally drooped, revealing a patch of fair, plump skin and a deep cleavage.
She playfully squeaked into Jashin-chan's phone.
Jashin-chan was instantly speechless: "I told you to make a squeak and you actually literally squeak!"
—She truly loves to goof around!
"Just kidding~."
Lucoa said with a smile: "Ryohei-kun, come out and view the cherry blossoms!"
"We've already secured a spot in advance," Pekola said airily.
"..."
Lucoa and Pekola are there too?
Ryohei was a bit surprised, then feigned agreement: "Alright, where are you guys in Ueno Park? I'll head over now."
"Uh... by... by a river. Anyway, just come over first!" Jashin-chan answered vaguely.
"Okay, hanging up then."
"Mn."
With a beep, the call ended.
"Are you going over?" Yurine turned her face sideways.
"Nope."
Ryohei looked at her and smiled: "It's probably a prank. I was just playing along with them."
"Mn."
Coming downstairs, as expected, there was no one in the living room.
Yurine suddenly said with a hint of jealousy: "They clearly knew we were together, but they only pranked you alone."
"Probably... they were afraid that if we went out and couldn't find them, we'd just ditch them and go on a date?" Ryohei pinched his chin and pondered.
Yurine blinked in surprise: "That's actually quite possible."
"Speaking of dates..."
She made a fist, lightly punched Ryohei's arm, and chided: "When are you taking me on a date? We haven't been on a date in a while!"
"There's no time like the present."
Ryohei took Yurine's small hand, a gentle smile hanging on his lips: "Let's go right now!"
"Okay!"
Yurine agreed readily. Then, as if she thought of something, her face fell, and she sighed: "Let's do it another time."
"School is about to start, and I still have one short essay and three reports left to write."
Ryohei was instantly speechless. He let go of her hand and said: "Then it can't be helped. You go take care of those first."
Yurine's spring break ended on the 3rd, and school started next Monday.
There were only three days left.
"Mn."
She nodded and returned to her bedroom dejectedly.
"..."
Outside the villa—
"Strange? Why hasn't he come out yet?"
Jashin-chan stood at the corner of the intersection, poked her head out, looked towards the main gate, and frowned.
It had been quite a while!
Logically speaking, he should have driven out by now, but there wasn't the slightest bit of movement...
"Could it be that he already realized we were pranking him? Was he intentionally playing along just now?" Lucoa raised a slender white finger, suggesting a possibility.
"What!?"
Jashin-chan turned her head in shock and clenched her fists:
"That guy, Servant..."
Thinking about it, it was actually very possible.
Failing to successfully prank Ryohei, Jashin-chan felt very regretful.
However, her self-adjustment ability was very strong—
"Forget it!"
Jashin-chan unclasped her fists, touched the wallet hanging around her neck, and said casually: "I'm going to play pachinko."
After saying that, she slithered away.
"Then... I'll just wander around the neighborhood and take a walk."
Lucoa looked at Pekola, and without waiting for her response, left in another direction.
...
Buzz buzz—!
In the living room of the villa, Ryohei's phone resting on the coffee table suddenly vibrated, and the screen lit up.
Holding a light novel and sitting cross-legged on the sofa, Ryohei lifted his eyes to look.
Then, he leaned forward, picked up the phone, and took a look—
It was a message from Lucoa.
[Lucoa]: "I have sealed a succubus in this room. Hurry and come conquer her!"
Attached below was a hotel address and room number.
The corner of Ryohei's mouth twitched, and he casually replied—
[Ryohei]: "Another prank?"
The other party is typing...
[Lucoa]: "No no no, this time it's real! Let me show you a photo!"
"..."
Ryohei waited for a while and realized he seemed to have been fooled. He laughed out of anger and sent a message:
[Ryohei]: "Where's the photo?"
[Lucoa]: "The internet connection on my end isn't very good, it won't send. ╮(╯∀╰)╭"
[Ryohei]: "Like hell I believe you!"
[Ryohei]: "What a lame excuse!"
[Lucoa]: "It's not an excuse!"
[Lucoa]: "Anyway, the succubus will break out of the seal in an hour. Lord Hero, hurry and come subdue her!"
[Ryohei]: "...For a moment, I don't even know how to roast this."
The succubus is you yourself, right?
I've become a Hero?
Aren't Heroes supposed to subdue Demon Kings? Why are we subduing a succubus?
This is simply the plot of an adult anime!
"..."
The other side didn't send any more messages.
Ryohei pondered the matter of Lucoa getting a room and waiting for him.
"It shouldn't be a prank..."
He thought about it and stood up from the sofa.
Forget it, I'll go take a look...
Oh, no, I'm going to subdue the evil succubus!
If it was fake, Ryohei would subdue her twice as hard!
—And bully her sister along with her!
