Childhood Friend

"Welcome."

When Kimihito entered the convenience store, as usual, he was greeted by a warm greeting from the cashier. While hearing the welcome greeting from the cashier, he suddenly thought of something that might not be useful.

'Hm… Maybe lonely people can come to the convenience store. They will always be greeted warmly,' He thought.

Sometimes, his mind suddenly thinks of things he had never thought of before.

However, Kimihito somehow felt strange when he entered the convenience store. Since he was a person who trusted his feelings, he thought that there might indeed be something unexpected there.

Slightly ignoring his strange feeling, Kimihito started looking for soy sauce to buy. While looking for the location of the ketchup rack, he began to wander around all corners of the convenience store and suddenly, he felt like he bumped into something.

"Whoa!"

Hearing the screams in front of him, Kimihito quickly grabbed the hand of the person he had just bumped into. From the voice, he could tell it was a young woman. Besides that, he felt familiar with the young woman's screams.

"Are you all right?" Even if it didn't knock her down, he wanted to make sure she wasn't hurt.

"I'm fine... Eh?"

'Damn! I just came into contact with a man!' The young woman thought when she realized a young man had just touched her hand and she immediately withdrew her hand.

'This feeling...'

On the other hand, Kimihito felt his body starting to heat up, his heart beating fast, his mind starting to get a little chaotic. More importantly, he felt his libido suddenly increase, making his mind even messier.

Noticing the strange feeling that suddenly occurred to his body after touching the young woman, Kimihito was sure it was not a natural reaction for him. There must be something else causing it to happen. Of course, he wouldn't immediately tense up just by touching a young woman's hand. Moreover, he had also experienced such a reaction before.

While holding back a strange feeling in his body, Kimihito saw who the young woman in front of him was and subconsciously made him smile when he found out who she was.

"Sakie-chan?" He said, trying to call the young woman in front of him.

"Eh?? Chan? Wait a sec, no one ever calls me with 'chan' except... No way..." The young woman called Sakie immediately looked at the face of the person in front of her who had just called her name with 'chan' honorific.

Finally, their gazes met. Even though Kimihito closed his eyes, he could clearly see her purple eyes.

"Hello~"

"K-KI-KIMIHITOOO?!"

When their gaze met, Sakie, or rather Sakie Satou, couldn't believe what she was seeing right now. She didn't expect to meet Kimihito at this time because she thought he was still living in the village. If someone nearby said this was just a dream, she wouldn't deny it.

Kimihito, who saw Sakie's eyes, immediately increased the strange feeling. He had tried to hold back as best he could and tried to act as normal as possible. Right now, he felt Sakie was the most seductive woman he had ever seen. He felt as if wanting to push her and mess her up.

"I haven't seen you in a long time." He said, trying to be as normal as he could.

"H-how? How did you get here!?"

'I'm not dreaming, am I?' She thought, still not believing the truth.

He could guess Sakie still couldn't believe it from her expression. "I don't know either, maybe this is a coincidence, ahahaha~"

"HEEEEH??!!"

Indeed, the two of them meeting was a very coincidental thing. Kimihito actually didn't expect to meet her at the convenience store at this time, considering that they had not seen each other for quite a while.

***

Sakie is an attractive young woman with upper-back length black hair tied in a low ponytail with bangs swept to the right side, purple eyes, and a large bust.

She is wearing a red tracksuit and glasses. The tracksuit is to obscure her figure. In addition, she always avoids physical contact and keeps her distance from the men around her.

Sakie was also a demi-human, a succubus. A succubus is a seductive creature who seduces male lust through dreams and illusions. Besides Succubus, there are also Incubus in the form of a man, and they are seducers of female desire.

"It seems you look more mature since we last met," Kimihito said while looking at her.

After their meeting in the convenience store, the two of them decided to chat outside because they had not seen each other for several years. But before that, Kimihito didn't forget to buy packaged spices which was his goal. In addition, he also bought a cold drink to cool his head from the surprise attack he had just received.

"R-really?"

Hearing his words, she immediately thought, 'A-am I getting old in his eyes!?'

Even though Sakie was a year older than him, she didn't know if Kimihito thought she was getting older because he had not seen her for several years either. Besides that, her appearance was also different from before. She was currently trying not to look as attractive as possible so that others wouldn't be attracted to her, considering she was a succubus and the way she dressed would affect those around him.

"You're getting more and more charming too."

'Your powers are getting more and more terrifying too.' He thought, didn't expect it to take so much more effort to endure after feeling the power of an adult Succubus

"E-eh!? Umm... Thanks?" Getting a sudden compliment from him, she didn't know what to say and ended up thanking him.

"Honestly, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Um, it's been a long time... We haven't met."

"I was wondering, do you live around here, Sakie?" He asked. There's no way Sakie walked into a random convenience store.

"I'm a high school teacher here, so I live not far from where I work."

"Heeh... So you're already a teacher… I didn't expect that."

Honestly, Kimihito didn't expect Sakie, a Succubus, to become a high school teacher. Besides, perhaps she's the only Succubus teacher in this world. If he hadn't known her for a long time, he must have thought strange things about it.

Seeing Kimihito's surprise, Sakie immediately said, "Actually, I'm also confused about finding a job because of my race..."

"It must be hard on you."

After reading Smith's books, Kimihito knows that not all demi-humans can get jobs like ordinary humans and some even can't. In the case of the Succubus, those who have a strong aphrodisiac effect will receive financial assistance from the government, so they don't need to work. But it seemed like Sakie wanted to be as ordinary as possible.

"By the way, how did you get here?" She asked, wondering how he had gotten to the convenience store. In addition, she was also curious as to why he bought soy sauce, sauce, and other packaged seasonings.

"Oh right! I haven't told you by letter… I'm currently living around here, in Yuragi-sou to be exact."

"Eh? Yo-you live around here?!"

"Yup, that's how it is."

"Besides… Yuragi-sou? I heard that place is haunted." Because she had known him for a long time, she certainly knew about Kimihito who couldn't see ghosts and could only feel them. However, she did not expect that he would actually choose to stay in a haunted inn.

"Well, it sounds scary, but it's actually not as scary as people say it is."

"Really?"

"If you want to know, you can go there tonight." He said.

"T-tonight? What?"

'Could he...' Her mind started to travel everywhere after hearing his sudden invitation. It was too hasty for her.

"Actually, we're having a party tonight."

"I will come later tonight!" She said without hesitation.

"Make sure to come tonight… You can bring your drink too." He said while pointing to the bag containing the beers she was carrying.

"Ah! T-this's not mine… Right! My friend told me to buy it, so all these drinks aren't mine a-ahahaha..." She, who just realized immediately made an excuse, didn't want to be seen by him as a drunken succubus woman.

"..." Meanwhile, Kimihito was speechless. He knew Sakie was really bad at lying.

'Perhaps being a succubus weighs on her life.' He thought.

Kimihito is sure that Sakie must be stressed because apart from being a Succubus, she also has a job as a teacher. Being a Succubus teacher wasn't easy. She definitely had to do extra things than the other teachers just to do what she wanted. So it's not strange if she chooses a shortcut to relieve her stress by getting drunk.

"It's time for me to return."

"Eh?" Hearing Kimihito was about to leave certainly surprised her because they only chatted for a while after a long time.

"We can still have a longer chat any time." He said as if he knew what she was thinking.

"Then… See you later tonight."

"Um, see you tonight." He said and started walking away from her.

Slap

Sakie, who remained there, continued to look in the direction Kimihito left. After confirming that he went from there, she suddenly slapped her cheek with both hands.

"It hurts... That means..."

"Yatta! So it really wasn't a dream… I don't seem drunk either…."

As she walked home, she suddenly felt that she had forgotten something. 'Ah! I forgot to ask for his number!'

"Well~ I can still ask for it later tonight... YOSHA!" She muttered, then continued to walk back to her house with a happy feeling and impatiently waited for the night to come.
