Chapter 57 – Grades. ( One )
“I have found a way.”
After visiting Cashew’s house, Ren took a sip of coffee and said.
“There seemed to be no point in torturing Elena anymore, so I browsed through several books at that time. A book supposedly written about 400 years ago, there was a method.”
“Way?”
“It’s simple. All you have to do is kidnap a succubus.”
The simple thing about Ren’s words was that they were purely verbal.
Unlike other monsters that simply appeared in dangerous areas and threatened humans, the succubus acted in a quite heterogeneous way.
After taking a haunted house or cave as a base, he kidnapped people with fascination and grew by extracting and ingesting their spirit with various prepared devices. In the past, there was no countermeasure, so it was notorious as a ‘monster that could not be subdued’.
However, when asked about his perception of succubus recently, he answered like this.
“Ah. That endangered species?”
Now that their habits are fully understood, most succubuses have long since starved to death due to the destruction of their strongholds.
However, when the majority is severed, the minority becomes extremely poisonous. The surviving succubus worked even more secretly and meticulously, and thanks to this, the succubus is still a monster that cannot be subdued.
Killing seems impossible, but kidnapping. Cashews scratched their heads in silence.
“Is that possible?”
“It is known to the world that it is impossible, but if you look for examples, it is not nonexistent. A long time ago, in the case of the ‘Queen of Lust’, a succubus whose power was so strong that it even affected ordinary people outside the realm, a subjugation party was formed. I will tell you about the history of the punitive force.”
Putting down the coffee cup he was holding, Ren clearly described the information about the subjugation party.
“At least four people. The composition is good, but one person must be a person with mental ability who can defend against the charm of a succubus.”
“Are you a psychiatrist?”
At those words, Cashew looked back at the people close to him.
From Efri, her own lover, to Dia, Jerry, and Eni. Broadly speaking, her father, Leo, and her grandfather, Shred, and now Ren in front.
Among them, it seemed that there was no person with mental ability, so I gave up and was about to listen to the next story, but a fact that I had missed came to mind.
‘After all, isn’t Ennie-senpai’s psychometry a kind of mental ability?’
It wasn’t directly contacting the person and interfering with the mind, but isn’t it an act of catching the ‘mental aspect’ left in the object in the end? I was able to find related information by tracing the memories of cashew nuts just in case.
“Princess, didn’t I tell you last time? Psychometric abilities are deeply connected to the mental world.”
In the past, when Ren was a cashew nut teacher, she was what she taught.
“Do you remember what we promised?”
“… Yes.”
“Then get on the chair.”
Afterwards, Cashew was severely beaten for not remembering her lessons. Even then, she felt strange every time she was hit in the calf, and she ended up going back to her room after getting hit 20 times…
“Princess, princess?”
“Ah, uh… Huh?”
“Suddenly, your eyes opened. Are you worried about anything? Her face also turned red.”
“Oh, no. Nothing.”
Cashews, barely holding back her rampaging masochism, pretended she didn’t care.
Ren tilted her head at the slightly odd appearance, and she continued her explanation.
“Anyway, once you’ve formed a party, you can enter the succubus’ realm with a shield on your mind.”
“And then?”
“Because the base is also the main body of the succubus, there must be a succubus’ weakness hidden somewhere. It’s over when you destroy it while avoiding the dangerous tools that are slowly attacking you. Then you can easily subdue the succubus.
“I see.”
As soon as he heard the explanation, Cashew made a list of parties in his head.
First of all, anime seniors must be included unconditionally. If you don’t put it in, it won’t work. I want to leave Epri, but… I will definitely follow you Then, assuming that Efri is also included, the firepower is insufficient, so there are four of them including diamonds.
In fact, it was ideal to include Ren as well, but he had no choice but to rule it out because he shouldn’t have shown himself as a mazo pervert to Ren.
“Then, can I take the kids?”
“It must be done in utmost secrecy, so I think you should do it that way.”
“Then leave Ren.”
“Yes?”
As expected, Ren didn’t understand, and Cashew put out her hastily prepared excuse.
“Ren has many other things to do. Didn’t you have to go on a business trip to the south a little later?”
“That’s right, but… “
Hesitantly, Len spoke of her concerns.
“You are still too young, Princess. No matter how rigorous the princess had been through training, she had become accustomed to a lot of pain and horror, but she would still be immature in lewdness. I’m afraid you won’t be shocked by the succubus’ actions.”
Len said something she would have said seriously in her own way, but it was just ridiculous to Cashew, who had already done all she perverted.
Still, he was grateful for her concern, so the cashew felt her heart warm and continued her persuasion.
“I’ve done a lot of things like Epri and Pervert. You don’t have to worry.”
“Ha ha, have you ever heard of a ‘forced climax device’?”
As if she wouldn’t back down, Ren also brought out her own strong water.
“It is a sexual torture machine that rotates a long strip of slime balls connected to a wheel, and then fixes the crotch between them to rub the nostrils to the limit. No matter how strong the princess is, enduring her pain and being ruined by pleasure are two different things. You will definitely need my help.”
“Hearing that, she thought that she shouldn’t take The Ren.”
“Why… ?”
Yeah, if you fall for that kind of thing, you’ll always find out that you’re a masochist. Still, she couldn’t tell the truth, so Cashew eventually threw her logic away and used her swarm.
“Oh, if it doesn’t work, it won’t work! I’ll ask you just this once. The succubus will be kidnapped well, so can I do as I please?”
“If you want to, I will do it that way. However, if it fails… “
Ren’s eyes narrowed for a moment, then she said coldly as she picked up her plastic ruler that was lying on her table.
“I will give you severe corporal punishment like when I was a child. Be prepared.”
“Yea, I got it.”
Seeing Cashew’s answer without hesitation, Ren was even more dumbfounded and only blinked his eyes.
= = = = = = = = = =
Thus, the first journey to grasp the darkness, the establishment of the ‘Succubus Subjugation Team’, proceeded very steadily.
“The succubus subjugation team? It would be nice to write a resume later. Good. I’ll go too.”
Ennie, who was about to graduate, readily accepted the idea of adding her special career to her own specifications.
“Yes, Dia. If Cashew-nim wants it, I can follow it anywhere.”
Dia, still an avid supporter of cashew nuts, also decided to follow suit.
And the remaining person, Efri Sugar. She had nothing to say about her.
“Cashews, even if you leave them behind, they will follow you unconditionally. Never leave.”
Anyway, the number of people in the subjugation party was made according to Cashew Nut’s plan, and I thought they would be able to mobilize as soon as the upcoming final exams were over.
Unless the academy’s sexual problems, which I hadn’t thought of, hadn’t caught my ankle.
“Cashew Lüberg, Efri Sugar, Dia Celeste, Eni Tredorba. Since four of us have to participate in the punitive force, can we be recognized for attendance during that time?”
“Yes, teacher.”
At the vice-principal’s question, Cashew Nodded her head.
The vice-principal, who shifted his gaze to his work laptop, checked whether or not the work had been done. After he nodded his head, wrote something on the keyboard, and clicked the mouse.
The Vice Principal answered whether to attend or not.
“Ms. Cashew Nut, Ms. Dia, and Ms. Eni are possible, but I don’t think Ms. Efri will.”
“Yes… ?”
Apparently, I thought ‘learning from the outside’ would be an attendance acknowledgment, but Cashew was at a loss for words at the unexpected sound.
An explanation of sympathy followed to help her understand.
“Outside study is freely available from the second year, but first-year students can go out only when they have a certain grade or higher. If you look at the screen here, the amount of cashews… Even if it includes breaking the school rules a few times for affection, the grade is compliant. The amount of diamonds is still within the cut-off line, even minus the fact that it has been significantly cut once.”
The vice-principal, who showed the results by searching for the names of cashew nuts and diamonds in turn, showed Epri’s results this time.
“Miss Efri, on the other hand… Even excluding school rules, grades are very low. It’s enough grades to graduate from school, but it’s not enough to go outside right now.”
“Then… What grade does Epri have to get to hit that cut-off for this final exam?”
“Ugh, wait a minute.”
The assistant principal, who opened the calculator and notepad, briefly tapped on the keyboard and informed the results.
“Average of 96 points or higher in all subjects, in terms of rank, you should be in the top 5 of the grade.”
“Fifth place… “
Cashew nut muttered the impossible number.
During that time, Epri’s grades were mediocre. It’s just average in the whole school, and if you do well, your grades are slightly above average. Of course, considering the fact that Drexar Academy only gathered honor students, that was a satisfactory achievement, but it was far from lacking at the moment.
“Then, can we reflect only three people?”
“Oh that… I’ll tell you a little later.”
“Yes. Let it be.”
That’s how Cashew got out of her office, encountering an unimaginable difficulty.
‘What do we do?’
She thought she could just walk away without any problems, but she ran into major problems.
In a place overflowing with talent like Drexar Academy, it was next to impossible for a student with mid-level grades to rise to the top in an instant. Even if it was possible, it would have to be studied day and night to make it come true with the exams still two weeks away.
But what about Efri?
Never can
There was no way that Epri, who usually causes competitions when he tried to study more than a certain amount, could do such a thing. I have to tell you first, but it seemed right for the subjugation party to go with three people.
Cashew, who entered class E, looked around her and found Efri. At the window seat, Dia and Efri were talking while sharing chocolate.
“Efri?”
Seeing the cashew nuts that finally arrived, Efri asked about the result slightly nervously.
“How… It’s okay?”
“That is… “
After a moment’s hesitation, Cashew told her vice-principal everything she had heard. With her current grades, Epri couldn’t join the punitive squad, and if she did well in the final exams, there would be a chance, but she said that ‘above 5th in the grade’ was a ridiculous goal.
Upon hearing that, Efri’s expression darkened noticeably.
“Well, it’s not easy… “
“Efri… “
Looking at the rapidly depressed Efri, her heart felt depressed. Efri, she didn’t want to see her sad like that.
She clasped her weakly away hand to comfort her a little. Even though her expression was dark, Efri’s hand was warm. She feels its warmth, and she wants to say something that can warm even her insides.
Suddenly, Efri grabbed Cashew by the hand.
“Efri?”
Unexpectedly, the cashew nut looked at Efri. Her expression was more determined than anything Cashew had ever seen from Efri.
Efri, biting her lip, said as if she had made up her mind.
“Cashew nuts.”
“Huh?”
“Teach me to study.”
