Before Party 3

Night had fallen, and all of Yuragi-sou's residents were gathering in the living room for a party. Kimihito, Yuuna, Nonko, Sagiri, and Yaya, they were all impatiently waiting for the party to start.

Clack

As soon as the door opened, Chitose came with cutlery and groceries that they would use later, then told what they would do after this. "Everyone, tonight we are having a Yakiniku party."

"Yahoo!" X5

Instantly they all became happy when they heard Chitose's sudden announcement. It was rare for them to have a party because usually they just had dinner and nothing special about that. On the other hand, this was the first time they had held a party at Yuragi-sou, and it was only natural that they would be excited about it.

"Nee nee~ I've brought all my drinks here~"

Behind Nonko, there are already piles of liquor such as Sake, Beer, Whiskey, and many more. She had already prepared all that which was taken from the stock of drinks in her room. She really couldn't hold herself back this time.

"Saa~ Kimihito-chan, let's have a drink later~ I'm sure it will fit perfectly with the Yakiniku party!" She said with a mouth that already smelled of liquor.

'You even started first...'

Seeing Nonko's drunken gaze, Kimihito immediately replied, "Then I will also take my Sake." Then stood up and started walking out of the living room.

"Hee~ I just found out that you keep your Sake to yourself, Kimihito-chan~"

Honestly, Nonko was surprised when she heard that Kimihito also kept Sake. Apart from that, she was also curious what kind of Sake he had. There was no way it was ordinary Sake. But what's certain is she's very sure that Sake is his favorite Sake.

'I'm getting curious... Fufufu~'

"Sigh... You're always like that, Nonko." Sagiri said what was on her mind when she saw Nonko smiling while hugging a Sake bottle.

Even though Sagiri was used to seeing Nonko, a heavy drinker, she still wondered how Nonko could live with such a lifestyle. Nonko always doesn't forget to bring her drink during weekdays or parties. And as time went on, she began to question Nonko's lifestyle more and more.

Meanwhile, "Ara~ Sagi-chan~ Do you want it too?"

'It's pointless...' While hearing Nonko's response, Sagiri thought telling what was on her mind was a waste.

"Nonko-san, minors can't drink that, you know..." Chitose warned.

Ding Dong

While Chitose was preparing everything at the table, she suddenly heard the sound of Yuragi-sou's doorbell. To that end, she immediately headed to Yuragi-sou's front door to see who had come.

***

"Excuse me."

"Yes? Can I help you?" Chitose asked the young woman in front of her.

At this moment, a young woman was wearing a red tracksuit in front of Chitose. It was rare for her to see a young woman in a tracksuit. Moreover, she felt that the young woman in front of her was pretty charming, and it felt as if she was hiding her beauty.

"Erm... Is this really where Kimihito lives?"

"Ara. Kimihito? So you're Kimihito-kun's friend?" Hearing the young woman mention Kimihito's name made Chitose immediately remember Kimihito saying his friend would come here.

" Right, I'm Kimihito's friend... I'm Sakie Satou."

Who else would a young woman in red tracksuits be if not Sakie. Right now, she really came as she had told Kimihito when they met at the convenience store. After all, she couldn't refuse his invitation.

"Sakie-san, right? I am Yuragi-sou's innkeeper, Chitose Nakai. Kimihito-kun told me earlier, please come in." Chitose said, welcoming Sakie.

'Eh?! Innkeeper?' Sakie thought in confusion after seeing Chitose's appearance like a 13-year-old girl.

"Then, excuse me..." Said Sakie, then started to enter Yuragi-sou.

Walking into Yuragi-sou, Sakie was surprised to see the interior of the building, which had a warm atmosphere. However, she was previously a little intimidated by the aura emanating from outside. Long before she was first looking for a place to stay, she had heard that Yuragi-sou's lodging fees were cheap, which attracted her to stay there. But remembering that she was a succubus made her stop her intention to stay there. The inn was an unsuitable place for her. She couldn't sleep if there was a man nearby because it would make them have perverted dreams. Come to think of it, she had quite the trouble back then.

" Please enter the room first. I still have to prepare some food ingredients for later use."

"Um." Nodding in understanding, Sakie started walking into the room beside her.

Clack

"Excuse me~"

"???" X4

When Sakie had just entered, she was a little nervous because she saw 4 girls looking at her with curious eyes. They must have been curious because an unknown young woman had just entered the living room. They looked at each other with confused looks, not knowing what response they should show at this time. Sakie herself was still standing in the middle of the door. She was a little hesitant to take a seat there.

"Eh?"

'Is she the ghost?' Sakie thought as she looked at Yuuna, feeling something strange about her.

"Oh! Sakie, you really came?"

While Sakie was still confused, Sakie suddenly heard the voice of someone she knew calling her name. "Weren't you the one who asked me to come?"

"Hm? Why are you standing? Just have a seat and make yourself at home." He said, trying to make her feel comfortable.

Previously, when Chitose went to the front door to meet Sakie, Kimihito also went to his room to get the Sake he had. He thought this was the perfect time to try 'that' Sake, Dragon Slayer Sake.

"Ooh~ You have that too, Kimihito-chan~" Meanwhile, Nonko instantly gets excited when she sees him coming back with a familiar bottle of Sake.

"I was just thinking about buying it too."

"Y-you too?!" And Sakie was immediately surprised when she saw Kimihito carrying a big bottle of Sake. She didn't expect that he was a drinker too. It also made her a little happy.

"I'm old enough to drink this after all."

While answering Sakie's surprise, he suddenly remembered something. "Oh right! I haven't introduced her to everyone."

Hearing Kimihito's words, everyone's attention immediately turned to Sakie. They all wondered what the young woman's true identity near him was. Without taking their eyes off her, they continued to stare at her waiting for her introduction.

"She's my childhood friend."

"Um, I'm Sakie Satou, and I live around here too."

"Oh! So she's Kimihito's childhood friend... I am Yuuna Yunohana, and I am a ghost bound to Yuragi-sou." Yuuna said, introducing herself. She spoke directly to Sakie because she felt that Sakie had looked at her several times since then, and it felt like Sakie could see her form.

'So she's a real ghost here!' Sakie thought, not expecting that there would be a beautiful ghost-like Yuuna.

"So it's really Satou-sensei..." Sagiri said suddenly.

Sakie is confused when a girl finds out her identity as a teacher. And what made it strange was she didn't remember having a student like Sagiri. "Sorry, but are you one of my students?"

"No, maybe next school year, but I've heard a lot about Sensei before. I am Sagiri Ameno!"

Sagiri often heard the Sakie name from her seniors who had entered high school. Besides, she had known about Sakie, a Succubus, ever since she came to Yuragi-sou. The Succubus race really needs to be given more attention, and the Chuuma Ninjas are sometimes there to carry out surveillance if any suspicious movements are indicated. But so far, she had never been given a surveillance mission because there had never been any bad reports about Sakie.

"I see... So you're still in middle school, Ameno-san?"

"Yes!"

"I hope you can graduate with satisfactory grades, Ameno-san."

"Thank you, I will try my best."

From Sagiri's brief introduction, Sakie could tell that Sagiri was a strict girl. She could also guess that Sagiri would also graduate and enter the high school where she worked easily. Especially considering that Sagiri lived with someone with a high level of teaching skills, she was sure that he wouldn't be silent when he saw that someone nearby was having difficulty learning.

"I'm Yaya," Yaya said suddenly.

"...Nice to meet you Yaya-san." Sakie replied with a smile.

"Um."

And finally, Sakie saw a young woman sitting beside a pile of liquor bottles. She was a little tempted when she saw those bottles, trying to hold back her feeling as best she could, not knowing what would happen if she got drunk later. In fact, she also deliberately did not drink the beers she bought this afternoon just for tonight.

As a pro drunk, Nonko can undoubtedly see if Sakie is a drunk too, and she also saw Sakie's eyes which stole glances several times at her liquors and the Sake Kimihito brought. "Nee~ Sakie-chan sensei, let's come with us for a drink later~"

"Gulp!"

"She's Nonko Arahabaki, she's just like that... By the way, you can join us if you want," he said.

'Sure, with pleasure!' Sakie thought, but she couldn't say that.

"Uh… I can't drink… Since I'm a Succubus, I don't know what will happen if a man is near me when I'm drunk."

"Hee~ So Sakie-chan sensei is a Succubus~" After saying that, Nonko seemed to be thinking about something.

"But Sakie-chan sensei~ The only man here is Kimihito-chan, you know~"

"EEEH??!!"

'Is he going to make a harem?' Sakie thought, looking at all the beautiful girls around him.

Clack

Suddenly, the door to the living room opened and revealed Chitose carrying groceries. Sakie, who saw Chitose, immediately thought, 'Is she also his harem target?'

For some reason, Kimihito suddenly felt someone was thinking strangely about him. However, he chose to ignore that and accidentally looked at Sakie, who seemed silent all this time. "What's the wrong, Sakie?"

"N-nothing."

'Have I...No! I still haven't lost!'

As a Succubus, romance is a complicated thing for them, including Sakie. She struggles to find true love because her body produces an aphrodisiac effect that naturally attracts men. But after her reunion with Kimihito, she was surprised to see that he was still not affected by her aphrodisiac effects even though she had been in direct contact with him. She thought she had finally found a man who could love her without being affected by her aphrodisiac effects.

If Kimihito knew what Sakie was thinking, he would definitely be speechless. It's true that he's been friends with Sakie since childhood and also knew that she was a Succubus. However, before they parted, the aphrodisiac effects released were still insignificant, and it was still easy for him to overcome. But after a long period of not being exposed to the aphrodisiac's effects and feeling that the effects were now much stronger, he was pretty doubtful that he would still be able to maintain his sanity.

"Is Smith not here yet?" Sagiri asked suddenly.

"She still hasn't come."

"Eh? Smith will come here too?" Sakie was surprised to hear that Smith would also come. To be honest, she didn't expect to meet that reckless woman again.

"Don't worry, she just wanted to come over to eat."

"Smith-san helped me too, right?" Yuuna said, not minding Smith's character.

"Ha? Smith help you?" Since Sakie is new here, she certainly doesn't know what happened to Yuuna.

"Yes?"

"In short, Yuuna was almost arrested, and as a coordinator, Smith... you know..." He said. He was sure Sakie would also know what Smith's behavior was like.

"She's acting arbitrarily, isn't she?"

"Well, that's how she is."

"Hmm... Looks like you all are waiting for me." Said a young woman who suddenly appeared at the door.

"..." X7

"Even Sakie Satou is here too?" Said the young woman with a bit of surprise.

"Smith..."

The young woman who had just arrived was none other than Smith. With her usual smile, she casually walked into the room. And judging by her appearance, she seems to have just come home from work.

"Since everyone is gathered here, let's start the party!" said Smith excitedly.
