P.S. 2. Sorry for the late update. I've been writing non-stop lately, going to bed at least 3 or 4 AM every night, which pushed me to my limit. This chapter was supposed to be finished last night, but when I started writing, I had a terrible headache, my brain was a complete mess, and I couldn't type a single word. I couldn't hold on any longer, so I turned off the computer and went to bed at midnight. I didn't fall asleep until after 7 AM, and I missed work...

If any of the above is a lie, may the author be hit by a car and die. I'm feeling better now, but my head is still a bit foggy, so the next chapter might be delayed. Apologies in advance…

Chapter 68 Yuuki Asuna's Dream

This is... the bathroom, right?

Asuna Yuuki surveyed her surroundings.

In a cramped space of less than 20 square meters, there was a large bathtub, a large floor-length mirror, and a large dressing table... Well, using "large" to describe the dressing table seems a bit inappropriate, but that's exactly the feeling it gave Yuuki Asuna.

It was already strange to put a vanity in the bathroom, but the size of that vanity was even stranger; it felt like a person could sit on it.

Although she realized she was in the bathroom, Asuna Yuuki had absolutely no idea where she was—

My own bathroom was clearly not like that. I tried to open the bathroom door to go out and take a look, but the door couldn't be opened at all. It felt like I was in a locked room.

Yuuki Asuna clearly remembered that she was sleeping earlier.

Could it be that I've been kidnapped?

Unable to figure it out no matter how hard she tried, Asuna Yuuki turned her attention to another girl in the bathroom.

The girl had been in the bathroom from the beginning, but she had been crying and shouting things like, "Let me out! This isn't real! Dreams are just absurd and unbelievable, don't try to fool me!" which made Asuna Yuuki a little scared, and she didn't dare to get close to her.

However, the girl now seemed to have cried herself to exhaustion, lying motionless in the bathtub with a look of utter despair.

It seems she must know something.

Thinking this, Asuna Yuuki spoke to the girl, "Um... I don't think crying will solve anything..."

"That's right, crying won't solve the problem."

The girl, who was saying this, revealed a "what's the use" attitude, her face contorted with despair, muttering words that Yuuki Asuna found extremely terrifying:

"Ha... Come to think of it, even if I really became a girl, I could still stay at home, play games, and have sex with the girls I like, right?... That's right! Even if I became a girl, it wouldn't affect me at all!"

With a "whoosh," the girl stood up from the bathtub and looked at Yuuki Asuna.

What terrifying eyes they were! The reddish-purple pupils glowed with an eerie red light, making them look just like a wolf's.

This girl was clearly in a state of mental instability due to a shock, radiating madness as she approached Yuuki Asuna step by step.

"Calm down, I think something's wrong with you right now, although I don't know what's happened... Oh! My clothes?!"

The sudden change in her pajamas caused Asuna Yuuki to let out a humiliating scream.

"Hmph! This is in my dream. I am God. What I say will happen, will happen!"

Step by step, they cornered Yuuki Asuna against the wall. Of course, Yuuki Asuna tried to resist, but she was just an ordinary girl living in the city. Her fancy but ineffective moves were easily neutralized by the girl, who instead pulled her into her arms.

Wall bang!

Asuna Yuuki was pinned against the dressing table, panting heavily from exhaustion. The girl in front of her was also breathing hot air, the scorching breath passing through her ears and straight into her heart, like soft sand gliding across her soul, bringing waves of tingling sensations.

My body is being wantonly violated; those seemingly magical hands gently wander over my delicate skin, leaving behind a tantalizing heat.

If the person opposite me were a boy, I might have fought back to the death or even bit my tongue to commit suicide.

But the girl opposite him was just as beautiful as himself, so even if something really happened, he didn't seem to be at a disadvantage.

This subtle thought left Asuna Yuuki completely at a loss for what to do.

Moreover, the girl seemed to have mentioned the word 'dream' just now, so does that mean I'm actually dreaming right now?

But to have such a dream, does it mean that I actually like girls?

His mind was a complete mess, and his body, which had lost all willpower to control, honestly became aroused under the girl's gentle caresses.

The girl gently lifted Asuna Yuuki's limp body onto the dressing table, and gazed into Asuna's misty, moist, slightly brown eyes with her own wild, eerie red-purple eyes.

"Alright, let's begin now..."

As he spoke, his moist red lips, radiating a burning heat, pressed against her cherry-colored lips.

Asuna Yuuki closed her eyes.

The fragrance of lilies filled the small space, just as two equally beautiful faces were about to touch.

—The space suddenly shook, like shattered glass, and the entire bathroom shattered piece by piece.

At the same time, a powerful suction force came from somewhere, and Yuuki Asuna watched helplessly as the girl on top of her screamed as she was sucked into the air, then flew higher and higher until she disappeared.

Asuna Yuuki stared wide-eyed in utter disbelief: "What kind of bizarre dream was this?!"

……

"What a bizarre dream this was!"

Satella grabbed pillows and blankets and kept throwing them at the succubus in front of her, yelling, "I want to complain! How can you pull me back from the brink of climax like this? I'm going to give you guys a bad review!"

"Guest, this is not my fault."

The succubus looked aggrieved: "It was because you showed such strong resistance in the dream that I woke you up."

"..."

Unable to refute it, upon reflection, I realized that I did indeed shout "Let me out" at the beginning.

"……never mind."

Satella rubbed her face vigorously to calm herself down, then waved to the succubus still standing to the side and said, "That's enough for today, you can go back now."

"Well... I'll be leaving now. Sweet dreams."

The succubus dashed outside the inn, then looked up at Satella's room, letting out a sigh of relief, though her expression was somewhat strange.

What a strange person!

It's already strange enough for a woman to come to a succubus store, but to write "the real me" in the gender field on the form is even stranger.

Do you really think others can't tell you're a woman disguised as a man? The so-called 'true self' simply refers to your original gender—female, right?

I hope I never run into this person again.

With this prayer in her heart, the succubus sister quickly disappeared into the night.

Chapter 69 Recruiting New Companions

The succubus shop incident left Satella depressed for seven days, but after seven days, Satella came to her senses and was as lively and energetic as ever.

Two things, neither major nor minor, happened during this period.

The first thing was that Satella bought a house.

After all, the mission here would last for two years, and it wouldn't be appropriate to stay in a hotel the whole time, so Satella spent 50 million Eris to buy a two-story garden villa.

This money was all obtained by Satella by exchanging jewels.

As mentioned before, Satella brought six precious gems from the world of Re:Zero, each worth approximately 80 million Eris. After selling all six, Satella had a fortune of nearly 500 million Eris, enough for her to squander in this world.

The second thing is that Megumin and Darkness, just like in the original work, joined Kazuma Sato's main group.

Speaking of Satella, I still feel a little sorry for her.

Putting Darkness aside, as a team member, Megumin is really a great teammate. Although she's a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), she has a lot of common sense and is very reliable in crucial moments.

But then Satella thought about it again and felt relieved.

In the original work, Megumin can be said to be the only reliable main damage dealer in the protagonist's team. If Megumin were to be lost, Kazuma Sato's protagonist team would be rendered useless, which would be very disadvantageous for Satella's mission.

However, even Kazuma Sato's team has recruited new members, so shouldn't I also recruit a new person?

Satella was lazy to the core, and Elise was a pampered princess, so the new house was a complete mess after only a few days.

Although you can post a quest at the Adventurers' Guild to ask a new adventurer to clean, your house is full of panties and stockings lying around. If strangers see this and spread the word, won't you ruin your reputation?

You have to understand, she's currently the most popular female adventurer in all of Axel, so she needs to maintain a good image in the public eye.

It seems I really need to find a hardworking, diligent, and kind female partner!

As she was thinking this, Satella was holding a bottle of milk, slurping it down while looking at the various notices on the bulletin board.

This was a little habit Satella developed in her previous life: she always liked to look at something while eating, as if she couldn't eat without looking.

Because of her habit, the number of people eating breakfast at the Adventurers' Guild has increased by fifty percent recently.

Once, she accidentally got milk on her lips, and it's said that several adventurers fainted from excitement.

"Big sister," Elise tugged at Satella's sleeve, asking curiously, "I heard that if an adventurer's party wants to recruit members, shouldn't they post a notice on the bulletin board themselves?"

"Uh-huh."

Satella nodded as she sipped her yogurt, her long hair bouncing beautifully in the wind. She touched her cheek, a slightly narcissistic look on her face, and replied:

"That's true for others, but if I were to post a notice here recruiting companions, the line of applicants would probably stretch all the way to the city gates!"

"Yes, yes, yes, my older sister is the cutest and most popular... Really, my older sister is just like a little kid."

Page 96

"How dare a mere little girl say I'm like a child?"

Satella reached out a hand to pinch Iris's cheek, but Iris nimbly dodged it. The latter pointed to a notice that had been posted and said, "Big sister, what do you think of this person?"

Following Elise's finger, Satella looked at the bulletin board:

[Team members are being recruited. We need gentle people, people who will patiently listen even to boring things, people who won't laugh at people with strange names, and people who can stay together even on days without missions. The ideal class is Vanguard, and preferably someone around the same age. I am a recently turned thirteen-year-old archmage.]

The above text has all been crossed out with horizontal lines. The latest version reads as follows:

[Recruiting partners. I am a 13-year-old female archmage. No specific job requirement. Preferably the same sex, but even if not the same sex (just kidding), or not human, it's fine as long as we can communicate.]

Satella: "..."

What on earth has this person been through...?
