Well I don't know what to do...

　I was supposed to be the one to collect them, but....

　Honestly, is the idea of me collecting them even remotely okay...?　Or so I thought. But Princess Liane says she's going to look for me too........

''Umm........''
What are you going to do, Julia?

　Katherine looks up at me and asks me that.

　Now that she's outside, she has her hood up.

'What should I do...'
No, don't ask me.
But hey...
What about Eira?
He was mad at you.
But what if you don't ask him out or he gets even angrier?
What... why?
Huh....

　Sighing loudly, Katherine turned to me and announced.

'Okay!　Women are........creatures that want attention!
'Does that seem to transcend the species?　Isn't there a difference between a human and a succubus?
"All women are women. I know all about women. I know exactly why Eira is so upset about it.
That's awesome!　Hell, I'd love to learn that...!


　To be frank, Catherine, who usually seemed to be an idiot, seemed to shine now. After all, maybe it's because we have the same woman in common.......she speaks eloquently. Besides, in the past than now, even though they were of different species, they fell in love and had children. Some of that would have been a cross between a human and a succubus.

　That's why..............................I nodded my head at Catherine's argument.

　Even though she is young, she is also one of the women. Surely she must understand the feelings of her seniors better than I do.


''Well I can't tell you in detail because this is a matter for the person in question, but.......you should definitely invite Eira!
Oh, really?
Yes. When a woman tells you that she doesn't want to be bothered by you or acts like you don't want her to be bothered by you, it's an appeal to you. It's an evil spirit, an evil spirit.
'N...I see!


　It's true that sometimes seniors say so with their mouths, but they don't really think so. Was this time also the same pattern?

　I almost made a mistake.

　As expected of Katherine!

'Thanks Catherine. In the meantime, I'm going to ask my senior to join us.
I like that.


　So I went in looking for my senior to enter the base.......and I just found the figure in the mess hall.

　He was taking a boring-looking meal by himself, but I decided to speak to him without a second thought.


''Senpai,''
What is it, Julia?


　He's definitely angry.

　It's this attitude or rather...................you can tell by his voice. But we can't back down here!　And Katherine's got my back!


'Well actually it's about Katherine, but I'm going to go to succubus country...'
Hmm. And?
Would you like to join us?　I can't send many special class anti-magicians, but if there are two or so of them....
Why me?
''Seniors are very capable, and besides, after all, in succubus country, it's better to have a woman around.
That's it?
''No, I mean..........................senpai are dependable. I think I'm the closest friend of all the women I know, too!


　I manage to say the lines Katherine told me to say naturally. 'Good thing, you have to tell them that they are the best. Try to be natural!' And that was that.


''Hmm ... hmm?''


　The senior says so, and wraps her hair around her fingertips in a twirl.

　This, this sign........that's what you get when you're in a good mood!

　I decided to fold it up even more.


I need a senior citizen. I need a senpai!
Well, if you're going to go out with me, I'll go out with you.　Special, special?
Yes!　Best regards!

　As I bow my head, I glanced at Katherine and gave her a guffawed thumbs up. I returned the same way with a guffaw so that I wouldn't look like senpai.

　This is how I succeeded in securing my seniors for now.
