Chapter 12 – Curiosity
Perhaps because of some know-how, the farming work on the second day was much easier than yesterday.
Even the villagers didn’t have much complaint about waiting by the side since it was a job that only had to be done by sitting still and picking up grain.
Now, after working in full swing, it was lunch time, and I was resting on a mat under the shade of a tree for a while to eat a new meal.
In addition to the potatoes Violet had steamed this morning, the villagers handed out small portions of snacks that the villagers brought from home.
“Wait a minute. I’ll get you some water to drink.”
“Yes. Please come.”
And perhaps because of what happened last night, Violet clung to me and took care of it with utmost sincerity.
The villagers generously praised the village chief’s daughter-in-law for being sincere, but I couldn’t help but smile bitterly inside her because I knew the inside story.
Well, if all the men around him were little kids or old people, he would have starved a lot.
Not to mention, rumors quickly spread in small towns, so I couldn’t be hugged by any man.
When I think about that, I suddenly came from outside her, and I was the perfect condition for her, who had been working on her own for half a year, to become her new assistant.
It’s me, but since the table was set in front of me, I took it lightly.
But that caused one small problem.
“…”
It’s a certain maid who still doesn’t make eye contact with me, perhaps because she was teased in the morning.
I should have recognized her since she was a succubus and a virgin, but she must have had very little sexual knowledge compared to a normal succubus, and her face turned red whenever I made a joke like that.
That kind of reaction was funny, so I kept making similar jokes, but now I didn’t try to mix it up.
I hinted at Camilla, who was sitting far away from me.
“Are you still mad?”
“…I’m not angry.”
Camilla hit her iron wall as she said that.
But if I thought I would give up because of that, I wouldn’t have started from the beginning.
I moved her ass to her side and handed her a steamed potato.
“Don’t do that, try one of these. It’s so cozy and delicious.”
Then Camilla, who was sitting on the edge of her mat, looked at the potato I had given her, and she accepted it with a small sigh.
“…I don’t accept it because I forgive you.
Saying that, Camilla took a bite of the potato in her hand.
“…”
Shake- shake-
She found out while eating her meal with her, Camilla was the type to show emotion with her body, not her expression, when she ate something delicious.
The devil’s tail protruding from under her skirt swayed from side to side, as if she liked the taste of the potato.
“…It’s delicious.”
“Yes?”
When I smiled confidently, Camilla must have realized that she was in the middle of the Cold War, lowered her head and began to gnaw at the potato she was holding in her hand.
As I watched Camilla eat potatoes, she asked about her curiosity.
“Come to think of it, Camilla, why does Camilla usually tell the news?”
Then Camilla answered honestly, covering her cheeks, which had become puffy from eating potatoes, with her palms.
“…Basically, a succubus doesn’t need to eat. It’s not that I can’t taste it, but most of it is a hobby. But I have a special constitution, so I have to eat something, even if it’s a small amount, to get nutrients. It would appear to be news.”
To some extent, the answer was as expected.
However, it was not satisfactory, so I asked additional questions.
“Camilla, can I ask you one more question?”
“…Speak.”
“Why is Camilla a virgin?”
Cool! Cool!
As if suddenly her voice was heard, Camilla turned her head and covered her mouth while choking.
I sat next to her and waited for her to calm down.
Beating her chest and continuing to cough, she protested at me with her tear-stained face.
“Where is the person who suddenly asks such a question while eating!”
If you’re like a normal person, you’d be intimidated by her outcry, but I’ve come this far anyway, so I decided to go out shamelessly.
“But that’s true. To think that a succubus who feeds on men’s affections can’t take off her virginity label even after becoming an adult. Do you think the demons passing by will laugh at you?”
Then, as if Camilla had nothing to say, her face blushed and she lowered her head.
“Ha, but I don’t have time to meet men while working in the Devil Castle. In the first place, dating only interferes with work.”
“Then you’re not even masturbating?”
“Come on, masturbate…!”
Perhaps surprised by her explicit choice of words, Camilla wiggled her fingers as she blushed like an adolescent girl whose eyes had just opened, unlike her usual stern and cold-hearted appearance.
“I-I’ve never done that. Although I know it with my knowledge.”
She was more innocent than I could have imagined.
The fact that a person with such good looks and even the race of a succubus has not been touched by anyone until now is almost a miracle.
‘Are there only eunuchs in the castle?’
I was genuinely intrigued by that fact, so I decided to go a little further.
“Then what did you think when you looked into my room yesterday?”
“Huh? Oh, I didn’t see it!”
“Don’t even think about hiding it now. It’s written all over her face.”
“…”
Perhaps she decided that she couldn’t lie to me like I said, so she replied hesitantly, avoiding my gaze with her blushing face bent down.
“God, I thought it was great.”
“What part specifically?”
Then, Camilla’s gaze instantly touched my lower body and then fell.
“Well, how does that stuff get into my stomach? It’s almost as big as my forearm.”
“Poop-“
I inadvertently burst into laughter at her exaggeration.
“My stuff is a bit on the big side, but to be honest, it’s not that big.”
“Yes? But…”
Camilla tried to refute me with an unfair expression.
But I hissed at the sound of footsteps behind me and put my index finger to my mouth.
Then Camilla hurriedly shut her mouth, and I greeted Violet, who returned with a bottle of water as if nothing had happened.
She looked alternately at me and Camilla, then tilted her head and asked.
“What happened while I was gone?”
“Yes? No. Nothing.”
“For things like that, it seems like the distance between the two of them has gotten pretty close.”
I trembled when I realized that I had sat a little closer to Camilla to talk to her.
“Because I suggested Camilla try one of the potatoes because they are delicious.”
As she said that, Camilla returned to her usual well-groomed appearance and politely thanked Violet.
“I ate well. It was very tasty.”
“I’m glad you enjoyed your meal.”
Saying that, Violet smiled brightly and held out her water bottle to her.
“There are a lot of them, so eat and eat. Camilla-san eats deliciously, so I feel good.”
I said silently to Camilla who was dealing with her violet with a forced smile.
‘Come to my room later.’
Then Camilla hesitated for a moment, then she nodded her head saying she knew.
***
After the second day of farming was over, we returned to the village chief’s house a little early.
Since we have finished 20,000 pyeong by today, if we finish the remaining 10,000 pyeong tomorrow, the harvest of 30,000 pyeong requested by the villagers will be finished.
Although I suffered a little from depletion of magical power, it was rewarding in its own way, and more than anything else, it was fun.
Just because I never thought that the magic I used and developed to kill something would be used in this way.
In that sense, it gave me an opportunity to look back on myself a little.
After returning to the accommodation, I simply wiped my body with a towel soaked in cold water, and then changed into other clothes that were not wet with sweat.
It was her husband’s clothes borrowed from Violet.
It was a bit early for dinner, so I said I would rest in my room.
Then Violet said yes, and went into her kitchen humming her tune to look forward to this evening.
… What. What do you mean?
It was such a meaningful line that I couldn’t help but tremble in fear instinctively.
Anyway, I changed into comfortable clothes and lay down on the bed to rest for a while when I heard a knock on the door.
“Come on in!”
It was Camilla who carefully opened the door and entered.
She took one look toward her living room with a refreshed expression, and then slowly approached me as I sat across the bed with the door closed.
And he said it in a serious tone.
“There is something I want to discuss.”
