Chapter 13 – Peepholes
The concerns that Camilla confided to me were nothing else, but an extension of the conversation we had earlier.
“…Is it that strange that a succubus is a virgin?”
Even as Camilla said that, she hesitated as if it was embarrassing to ask someone about something like this.
I didn’t know that the maid who I thought was an iron man would have such a cute side, so she answered with a smile.
“You can’t ignore the fact that it’s normal public perception, right? And it’s a very famous story that a succubus feeds on a man’s affection.”
“I know that. But…”
I cut her off halfway through and added another word.
“At least not one succubus I’ve ever met has ever been a virgin. A very young child would have known, Camilla, but any grown-up like you would have known a man as if it were only natural.”
I haven’t met every succubus in the world.
But it was clear that she was a very peculiar case.
“…”
Perhaps because Camilla knew that too, she bit her mouth shut with a look of resentment.
It’s pitiful to push too hard, so I decided to ventilate the hardened atmosphere to some extent.
“But, well, there’s nothing wrong with being a virgin. Despite being called a succubus, first experiences are very important to a woman. And Camilla is still young, right?”
“…Yes.”
When I gave it a chance, Camilla nodded her head with her expression returning to her color.
“It would be better to save it until you find someone you truly love than give your virginity to just about any man in a hurry.”
As an experienced adult, this was the end of the counseling I could give.
There was nothing more I could say anyway, and in the first place, she and I had only been together for four days.
To meddle beyond this is to cross the line.
Perhaps because Camilla knew that too, she didn’t say anything that could sound like a complaint.
“If you have nothing more to do, can you leave? I’m tired, so I want to take a nap until dinner.”
As I said that and ordered her to celebrate, Camilla, who stood like her jangseung, hesitated before opening her mouth again.
“…Then could you give me a little guidance?”
“Yes?”
For a moment I wondered if I had heard wrong.
But Camilla looked at me with a very serious expression and said,
“From the point of view of the concubine, Kaldrash-nim seems to have a lot of experience and knowledge in that area. Could you please give me a little bit of that knowledge?”
“…So, you want me to give you sex education?”
“If I had to put it that way, yes.”
I doubted that this succubus actually liked me.
Otherwise, there’s no way I’d be consulting with a guy I’d only met a few days ago with crazy content like this.
However, to put these doubts to shame, Camilla’s eyes were burning with a very pure passion for learning.
I don’t know, so I learn, that’s what I thought.
‘Is this really that simple?’
Embarrassed by the unexpected fastball, I couldn’t answer right away and licked my lips.
Because I never thought the day would come in my life when I would be asked to give some sex education to her virginal succubus.
The content itself was absurd, but I couldn’t figure out if it was okay to listen to this request.
Perhaps she was Camilla, but she did it on impulse because she was ashamed of being her virgin.
When the heat in her head cools off, won’t she regret the words she uttered?
I finally sighed when I thought that.
“I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but it’s not something that can be concluded right away here. Does Camilla agree with me?”
“…Yes.”
As I expected, Camilla admitted that she had gone too far with her blushing.
“So let’s do this.”
“How?”
“It’s about giving each other enough time to think things through.”
As I said that, I pointed to the desk clock on top of the dresser.
“It’s 5:00 PM, so have dinner and come back at 8:00 PM. Then let’s have a serious conversation again.”
When I came up with a compromise, Camilla nodded her head as if she thought it was a not-so-bad proposition.
“Then let’s do it.”
“Now, now that the counseling is over, please leave for real. Even if I don’t look like that, I’m really tired right now, right?”
The typical side effects of depletion of mana are lethargy and drowsiness throughout the body.
According to research by biologists, since mana is also one of the main components of the human body, when mana is used excessively, a metabolic reaction that naturally induces sleep occurs in the body to compensate for this.
When I yawned at her and waved her hand, perhaps because Camilla thought it was too much to continue the conversation, she bowed politely and left her room.
Left alone after she left, I couldn’t overcome her tiredness and as soon as I laid my head on her pillow, I fell asleep.

It was two hours later when I woke up again.
In the meantime, as if dinner was ready, Violet came to my room and woke me up.
I went to the kitchen after washing my face properly, and what was prepared there was a delicacy that was no different from the one I ate on the first day in the village.
Camilla, who was already sitting at her table, looked quite surprised.
I asked Violet in a dumbfounded state.
“What’s the deal with this?”
Then, she explained with a friendly smile.
“The wizard died tomorrow, so the villagers said they had worked hard and brought me some leftover food ingredients. I just took them and cooked them.”
I swallowed my saliva and sat down.
Whole chicken with herb paste on a large pork foreleg, various home-cooked dishes, garlic salad, and beef stew with plenty of ingredients.
It’s hard to decide which of these to eat first.
At that point, Violet approached holding a bottle containing a scarlet liquid.
“That’s?”
“It’s a honey wine that’s good for stamina. It’s my husband’s favorite drink, but if I tell him that he served it to a benefactor in the village, he’ll probably laugh.”
“…”
It was only then that I realized what a bitter feeling I had felt earlier.
Today is the last day for me to stay in this house.
Those words were in line with the fact that when I go back to the castle soon, Violet, a married woman, will have to spend her days fighting again until her husband returns from the battlefield.
If that’s the case, of course you’ll be in a hurry.
I looked around the table once again.
I hadn’t noticed it before, but it seemed like a dish made with everything good for men, including garlic.
‘Tonight will be more squeezed than yesterday.’
I made up my mind.
The stamina of a beastman is as limitless as a human’s endurance.
Even more so, there is a separate estrus.
I somehow managed to hold on last night, but if I were to do it two days in a row, there was a high possibility that I would run out of strength in the middle.
It was something my pride wouldn’t allow.
“Thank you for this food.”
I started eating militantly for tonight’s long field battle.
The primary goal is to replenish lost energy.
As I lost face and started to put food in my mouth, Violet, who was watching me like that from the side while serving a drink, put a crescent-shaped smile on her lips.
***
After dinner, when my bloated stomach had calmed down somewhat, Camilla came back to my room.
“…Excuse me.”
Perhaps she had just taken a bath, her white hair wet with water, she greeted politely and came into her room.
Having prepared everything in advance for her and waiting for her to arrive, I swallowed her saliva and asked.
“How, have you thought about it?”
Then Camilla softly blushed and nodded her head.
“…There is no change in the desire to learn about sex.”
A burning passion for learning burned in her eyes.
The thief who learned late didn’t know that I was leaking, and Camilla was running out of control in a really strange direction.
Anyway, with this, the delusion disappeared.
If you really want to, I just give you knowledge.
I pointed her to a closet in one corner of her room.
It originally contained a futon, but since I moved the contents to another location, it is now empty.
“What do you mean?”
Camilla tilted her head in disapproval, but I said firmly.
“Seeing once is more helpful than hearing a hundred times. Camilla, you need to learn what lust is between a man and a woman.”
It was only then that Camilla understood what I was talking about.
“…Are you asking me to spy on the sex between the two of you?”
I flicked my index finger.
“It’s not about stealing. It’s about studying.”
“Study…”
Humans can do anything crazy for a good cause.
And that seems to be the case with the succubus as well.
Camilla stared at the closet with the door slightly ajar.
Knock! Knock!
Just then, a knock was heard from outside the door.
“Wizard, may I go inside?”
“Wait a minute! I haven’t finished cleaning my room yet!”
After buying some time by saying that, I asked Camilla.
“Then what are you going to do? If you don’t feel like it, you can leave the room right now.”
It was the last chance.
And it was also her last moment to make her own choices.
Crossing the line once today will keep her inertia.
Then Camilla looked back and forth at the closed door and at my face, then nodded her head with a determined expression.
“I’ll give it a try. She can’t remain an innocent virgin forever.”
I opened the closet door.
Camilla went into it herself.
Rattle-
I closed the closet door completely from the outside.
I drilled a small hole, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to see from the inside.
I strode straight ahead and opened the door.
Just like yesterday, instead of being a beast, Violet, who had transformed into a human, came into my arms with a wide smile.
“Are you not going to sleep tonight?”
Responding to her sweet voice, I hugged her waist.
Fluffy tail hair protruding from the buttocks tickles the back of the hand.
I could feel her body heat through the thin fabric.
I said, looking straight at her and making eye contact with her.
“That’s what I’m going to say.”
Before long, their lips collided passionately.
