‘10/50’
All right, my Luck is at a nice spot too, so I kind of feel like something nice might happen.
As before, Izumi is looking at me with a suspicious expression, most likely because my aura diminished.
“Master.”
“Hn?”
Aira speaks to me just before I leave for the second floor.
“Just to confirm, do you understand the effect of the golden incense well?”
“Well… We used it in other places, not just here, and there was a report from the lab.”
We thought it was a love potion at first, but after using it a few times, we realized that wasn’t quite it. It does stimulate feelings and promote lust, but it has no effect if there are no emotions there that serve as a catalyst.
“Yes. If you are not attracted to the other person to begin with, you will only register it as a nice smell. However, if those feelings are present, it will push the person and render them unable to stop by their own will, so in the end, it was classified as a restricted item unless diluted.”
Aira says with a disappointed tone. Well, restricted items can be used by whoever finds them as long as correct dosage and administration are followed.
“So why are you checking that?”
“Please do not make me say it.”
“…”
“But I will say one thing. Rest assured that we all understand it.”
“…Really?”
“Yes.”
“Really really?”
“Yes.”
Was that one of the things they talked about in the boss room? And apparently they got pretty friendly when they were shopping without me…
“And the lady set a fire under you, correct?”
“Ah…”
Does she know what I talked about with Sakuya?
So Aki, Maki, Ayane, and Aira all know… I better prepare myself.
So.
I was a little nervous about all that Aira said, but Kasumi and the others are normal girls, and as I go from one fight to the other, those thoughts leave my mind.
In the end, I take down a thousand fluff bugs as expected, and ten Golden Moths and Golden Swallowtail Butterflies. It’s nice that they always drop what I want with my Luck, but I’m pretty sure it was around five hundred when I first came here. Thinking back, when I was taking down multiple Golden Moths, there was a chance a Golden Swallowtail Butterfly could have spawned when employees were watching.
That sends a chill down my spine, but I guess I’m lucky in that sense too.
“Good job, you three.”
“Good job, big brother.”
“They weren’t that strong, but good job taking down multiple rare monsters.”
“They were weak, but taking down a thousand monsters is still a big undertaking. Only you could have done it so nonchalantly.”
I watch them store the items spread by the last Golden Swallowtail Butterfly in the waist bag, and take a break. I’ve been focusing on hunting for three hours.
“Still, you really are amazing, hunting like that without stopping.”
“Really? This is business as usual for me.”
I hunted ten Golden Moths and Golden Swallowtail Butterflies, which give good experience for the size of their magic stones, but their levels were 18 and 45. I only went from 62 to 68.
They’re good opponents for those levels, but their low levels means there isn’t much in terms of experience. There is in terms of skills though.
“H-hum…”
“Hm?”
“Big brother, well…”
“Ah, geez Kasumi. Just say it.”
“Au. S-sorry Haru.”
“Now now, calm down, Miss Haru. I understand both why Miss Kasumi is perplexed and why you are flustered, but take a deep breath.”
Hazuki seems nervous too, and the three take deep breaths.
Hazuki then puts her hand in the waist bag, takes a container I remember, and sprays its contents on herself and the other two.
“…!”
I feel my feelings towards them shake strongly.
What I saw as my cute little sister and her friends become targets of lust.
“…Golden incense?”
“Yes. I heard from the others about its effect. If you are seen at all as sensual, you will become a target of lust. It seems to have worked… That is a relief.”
“If there was no reaction, we would have to give up. At the very least, it would have meant you didn’t see us as women.”
“…”
Kasumi opens her mouth like she’s going to say something, but closes it with an embarrassed expression. I can’t take my eyes off every single movement.
I never thought about it, but the golden incense makes me realize I had those feelings for Haru and Hazuki. Still, it’s not that surprising. They’re attractive, I get that. But I’m very surprised that I feel the same way about Kasumi. I knew it was possible between fellow adventurers, but…
She’s my cute younger sister I’m proud of, and I thought she became beautiful when I met her again. She was still as loving as before, and I thought it would be natural if she had a boyfriend…
“…It looks like there is no problem here.”
“Yes, they keep staring at each other.”
“…Whoa, I forgot.”
Hazuki takes two items from her pocket and activates them. I know one, it’s the soundproofing magic item. I don’t know the other, but the similar shape tells me it’s a magic item. Once activated, the area around us is surrounded by a white barrier.
Is it something that makes it so people outside of it can’t see us? I figured, but they really came prepared.
“Elder brother, excuse me.”
“Buh!”
As I’m deep in thought, Hazuki sprays golden incense. Their eyes change the moment she does.
“Big brother…”
“Older brother…”
“Elder brother…”
I’m feeling deja vu.
Their reactions tell me we’re all feeling the same.
What guy would reject this…
