Chapter 34: Snow Sprites: The Harbingers of Death

"Welcome to the world between life and death, Satou Kazuma-San."

"Huh?"

Kazuma blinked as he felt a strong sense of déjà vu. Where did he hear those words again...? Oh, that's right! When he first met Aqua, she said those exact same words!

But the person sitting in front of him was not Aqua, which meant she was still in the land of the living.

The woman sitting in front of him had long white hair and a heart-shaped face with eyes that held a touch of sadness to them.

"I am the Goddess Eris. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you have died in your quest of liberating the world from the Demon King. I am truly sorry you had to go through so much hardship, Kazuma-San."

Eris said and lowered her head to show how sorry she felt.

'Eh? What's this? This doesn't seem like last time at all... This goddess is actually nice.'

Kazuma thought and looked around to see he was in the same pitch-black room as last time.

But wait... He died? How did he-

————————————————————

Earlier...

"Snow Sprites...? We're hunting SNOW SPRITES!?"

Naruto's anger-filled voice echoed throughout the snow-covered landscape. He was wearing his adventuring gear for the first time since returning from thee Crimson Magic Village, which consisted of his black shirt, pants, and Jōnin vest. Meaning, he was ready for battle.

'Naruto... I'm growing bored of all of these weaklings... You need to ditch these fools, and force that woman back at the guild to let you go on those difficult quests by yourself so I can let loose!'

'I'm sorry, Kurama... But I need to obey the rules of this place if I want to make a difference in this world. We'll get those stronger opponents soon, I promise buddy.'

Naruto thought to his tailed beast, but he was on the same boat as the fox. As fun as it was hanging out with his new friends, his inner shinobi desired a challenge. But...

A little white ball of snow with a cartoonish face floated past the annoyed jinchuuriki and his immediate response was to flick it, which resulted in the Snow Sprite dissipating instantly.

Such a weak monster... What was the point of killing these things?

"Why are you complaining? Snow Sprites are easy to catch, and since slaying them shortens the number of days of winter they're worth a lot of money! Plus, if we keep a couple for ourselves, then we can add them to our drinks in the summer for a cold beverage!"

Aqua said as she chased a lone snow sprite with a net in her hands. Because of the colder temperatures, she was wearing a white coat over her usual clothes along with a white hat.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but Aqua's right. I wonder why the other adventurers weren't fighting over this quest."

Kazuma said as he slayed his third Snow Sprite with ease. He was wearing his normal adventuring attire, with the addition of a warm hooded coat for the snow.

Regarding the quest, he figured might have something to do with a mix of the colder temperature, and the fact that most of the adventurers still had a lot of leftover money from the Dullahan reward.

But even still, Kazuma found it hard to believe such an easy and well-paid quest would stay on the request board for so long.

Oh well, more spoils for him.

Naruto turned to Darkness and saw the girl was shivering slightly.

Which was to be expected since she was wearing what Kazuma dubbed her "office-lady" outfit along with a short orange sweater over her blouse. She was clearly underdressed for the area they were in.

"Oh, Hey Darkness, If you're too cold, you can just borrow my coa-"

"No problem."

Darkness responded firmly, cutting her fellow blonde off mid-sentence.

"It's a little cold, but that in of itself is... *Huff*...*Huff*...!"

Darkness said with a minor blush on her face while letting out a couple ragged breaths.

"O-okay...?"

Naruto said while scratching at his whisker marks. Did that mean Darkness liked being cold? He assumed it was just another part of her weird quirk.

'I guess a pervert's body temperature matches their steamy thoughts...'

Kazuma thought while staring at his hopeless companion with a deadpanned expression.

"But I'm glad we took the Snow Sprite subjugation quest, I'll think you'll enjoy yourself Naruto."

Darkness turned to the shinobi and said, her ragged breathing now normal.

"Hey! Have we forgotten why we came here in the first place!? Let's see who can destroy more snow sprites with their Explosion magic Naruto!"

Megumin ranted when she couldn't take all the distractions any longer. She was wearing a black, skin-like suit and a fluffy red and white poncho with a hood that warmly covered her head.

'That's not why we came here at all!... Why are you placing your pointless competition as the highest priority!? We're in debt here, you know!?'

Kazuma retorted, but he kept his thoughts to himself since he knew Megumin wouldn't be moved in the slightest. When it came to Explosion magic, that girl disregarded everything else.

Their debt included.

So, Kazuma decided that he would take no part in their childish competitions!

"Okay, I'll accept your challenge Megumin. Whoever kills the most Snow Sprites with Explosion magic is the winner. But let's make it a little more interesting, shall we? The winner get's the loser's share of the reward!"

Naruto declared while pointing at the little.

"I accept!"

Megumin excitedly said without a second thought, causing the shinobi's smirk to widen.

. . .

"Come on, Megumin! Show this self-proclaimed ninja why people call you "Explosion Girl"!"

Kazuma cheered for his party member at the top of his lungs.

"Wow, as expected of the one called KazuTrash. Have you no shame?"

Aqua said while staring at "KazuTrash" as if he was what the name implied, which ticked Kazuma off to no ends.

"I don't want to hear that from you, you fake goddess! Now shut your trap and keep working so we can pay off your debt!"

Kazuma snapped back, and the two began to bicker with one another.

"Leaving the noisy audience aside, let's get started! Of course, as the more experienced Explosion user, I'll be going first again."

Megumin said as in her mind she had to set an example for her kouhai in Explosion magic. Pointing her staff towards a decently sized crowd of Snow Sprites, she chanted the spell she spent her life memorizing.

Seeing as the girl was about to blow, Kazuma stopped arguing with Aqua and stepped behind Darkness for safety.

"Explosion!"

*BOOM!*

The large explosion completely evaporated the Snow Sprites, along with a chunk of the surrounding snow, and earth underneath that.

"You see that...? A real Explosion..."

Megumin's muffled voice said as she laid face-down on the snow. THAT was an Explosion, not that cheat-filled what's-it-called bomb that Naruto used during the first competition.

An Explosion had to come from one's soul, with no outside help! Harnessed with one's mana, and refined through their own blood, sweat and tears! It had to be Explosion Magic! Otherwise the explosion was a fake!

That was the conclusion Megumin had come to while she was placing curses-Reviewing the results of the competition in her room.

Kazuma walked over to the mage and crouched down.

"You good?"

"Yes... I got eight of them... I leveled up too..."

Megumin mumbled as she felt she was on the brink of falling asleep due to the mana exhaustion. But she forced herself to stay awake because she had to witness another person's Explosion magic once more!

Naruto grinned as he watched Kazuma lift Megumin onto his back so she could watch. Despite her fire-ball personality, he knew she was just a kid. A kid that was in love with Explosion magic.

But that kid made fun of poor little Yunyun most of their childhood, so it was payback time.

"Explosion!"

Naruto shouted after chanting his spell and fired off the condensed ball of mana toward a newly formed group of Snow Sprites.

*Boom!*

Like last time, the explosion wasn't nearly as impressive as Megumin's Explosion magic. But it was still strong enough to shake the earth around them for a couple seconds.

Pulling out his adventurer's card, Naruto hummed in thought as he looked over the convenient part of the card that showed what you had recently slayed. Just under the One-Shot Bear he had killed the day before, he chuckled when he saw that he was only two Snow Sprites shy of Megumin's kill count.

"Amazing... I remember Megumin forcing Naruto to learn Explosion magic, but to think he's still able to stand after using it. He's not even a Crimson Magic Clansman..."

Darkness said when she saw that Naruto had no intention of falling over. She already found it impressive enough that she met a person(Megumin) that learned Explosion magic, let alone use it. But here was a human being who not only knew Explosion magic but could also use it without suffering mana exhaustion!

"Hehe... You think so?"

Naruto said as he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. He didn't know why, but that compliment had really warmed him up. The cold weather didn't even phase him now!

"Hmph! Had I chosen the Arch Wizard job, I could have learned Explosion magic with ease! But that magic is far too crude for the elegant me!"

Aqua boasted as she stuffed another Snow Sprite into a glass bottle she had brought.

'With that sad excuse of an inelegance stat, Arch Wizard was out of the question. The head receptionist Onee-Chan said it herself.'

Kazuma thought as he stared at the hopeless Arch Priest of his party with pity. It was quite sad how she was able to show so much confidence when she had such pitiful intelligence and luck.

Ignoring Aqua's rambling, Naruto got into his stance again.

"If you thought that was impressive Darkness, then watch this!"

Taking aim at the poor Snow Sprites that were regrouping for a third time, he chanted his spell once more.

"Explosion!"

*Boom!*

The snow-covered field shook for a third time as the third Explosion shot eradicated the defenseless Snow Sprites.

Naruto let out a relieved sigh before he turned towards the shocked faces of Darkness and Aqua.

"How was that for impressive? I could shoot off a third one if I want, but I already killed more than

"WHAT!? That second one doesn't count! I won this match fair and square!"

Megumin shouted in denial from Kazuma's back, with the male cringing as his cargo's high-pitched voice was shouting right into his ear.

It seemed little miss Explosion maniac took the bait.

"Oh? Is that so? If I'm not mistaken, the rules of this match required that I only use Explosion magic. Which I did. You didn't say I couldn't fire it off twice, did you?"

Naruto asked while staring at the Crimson Demon with an innocent expression.

Megumin's ears turned red when she realized her mistake. She didn't specify the rules, so Naruto took advantage of her excitement for a rematch!

She'd been duped! Again!

Naruto turned towards Darkness to see her reaction, but he had to take a step back when she was suddenly in his face. He could feel her warm, ragged breaths up close.

"Naruto, that was amazing! To think that you could use a weaker version of Megumn's Explosion magic! Twice! If you ever need a partner to test the strength of your magic, then just say the word! No, I insist you ask me! As soon as you want!"

"Eh!?"

Was she asking him to use Explosion magic on her!?

Feeling a little overwhelmed, Naruto took a second step back. But Darkness stepped forward, her wide blue eyes staring into his own expectantly.

"I don't know how I'd feel about using Explosion magic on a friend-"

"I insist."

Darkness said in a more serious tone. One that left little room for refusal.

Kazuma sighed. He had a feeling this was going to bee the conclusion. But Naruto sure was a crafty one. He fit in quite well with these misfits.

Maybe he'd try switching parties with the guy? He got along with Dust, since they were drinking pals that both shared the pain of being in a party with those three. That Cecily person was just like another Aqua, but Kazuma felt he could handle that. Then there was Yunyun...

Yeah, switching parties sounded really nice right now. Besides, his problem children would be safer in Naruto's hands than his own.

"Hey, I don't like the look you have on your face. Something about that grin is pissing me off."

Megumin said when she noticed Kazuma's pleasant smile.

"You must be mistaken. I think nothing but the safety of my party members."

Kazuma said after straightening his face and doing all he could to avoid the girl's piercing gaze.

'Brat, get ready. I can sense strong negative emotions coming this way.'

Kurama suddenly warned.

'Huh? What do you mean?'

Naruto asked but before he could get his answer, Darkness suddenly shouted.

"It's here!"

Darkness said and pointed passed the shinobi and off into the distance.

"What's here?"

Kazuma asked, and a grave feeling washed over him when he saw an ominous haze making its way down the mountain. It almost looked like an avalanche, but the lack of sound said otherwise.

Naruto turned around as well, and he could feel a strong killing intent at the center of the haze.

Something was coming, and it was strong.

"Kazuma, Naruto, this is why adventurers don't take the Snow Sprite Subjugation quest."

Aqua said, and seeing as she had both of their attention, she continued.

"He is the master of the Snow Sprites, and us eliminating them has summoned him."

"The Winter Shogun!"

Darkness finished as she drew her broad sword, earning a pout from the goddess for getting her spotlight taken.

The haze washed over them, and the monster became visible.

The term 'monster' seemed inappropriate, because the Winter Shogun looked just like a samurai. It was wearing samurai armor that looked like it was made of pure ice, and a sword was holstered to its side.

Even though it was wearing a helmet, they could tell it was furious by the aura it was giving off.

"How exciting... The Winter Shogun is a high bounty target on par with a Demon King Army General!"

Darkness said as she gripped her sword in anticipation.

'The Winter Shogun, huh? Perfect...'

Naruto thought and pulled out a kunai from his holster. This was going to be his hardest fight yet, and he sure as hell was about to enjoy it!

"Kazuma, you already got to fight the Dullahan, so stay back! I call dibs!"

"Gladly!"

Kazuma said and carried Megumin over to Aqua, who was fumbling with her jars that contained the Snow Sprites she had captured. You didn't have to tell him twice to stay back in a fight he stood zero chance in.

"Sorry Darkness, but since you don't have your armor you should probably-"

Naruto began to tell Darkness to fall back with the others, but he stopped midsentence when he saw the state the girl was in.

Darkness had a heavy blush on her face and was breathing heavily. It look like she had just run a marathon.

"H-he hey, are you oka-"

"No! Of course I'm not okay! This monster is about to capture me and use his position as Shogun to have his way with me!"

Darkness shouted, catching the ninja flatfooted.

...What?

"I'll resist him at first, but his strength will likely surpass my own and I'll be shamed...! *Huff!* *Huff!*"

Darkness said with a crazed grin on her face, her ragged breath growing deeper with ever word that came out of her mouth.

Naruto dropped the kunai to the ground as he stared at Darkness with a twitching eye.

Where was all this nonsense coming from? No, what Naruto wanted to know was why she was saying it all with a smile on her face!

The monster was going to have its way with her!? Why the hell did she think that!?

Then it hit him. Suddenly, Naruto realized the true meaning behind Kazuma and Dust's warnings.

It was true that Darkness was a little weird, and he was willing to accept that. But she was beyond that. Just now, she looked like she was looking forward to being molested by a monster.

Like Aqua, this girl was hopeless.

"Naruto! Darkness! The Winter Shogun is kind! So if we prostrate ourselves and beg for forgiveness, he'll spare us!"

Aqua explained as she freed all the Snow Sprites she had captured, then proceeded to prostrate herself in the snow.

Which was surprising in of itself considering the bluenette's personality. With her twisted sense of pride, one would never belief she would bow to anyone. Much less a monster.

"Hell no! There's no way I'm letting a strong monster like this get away!"

Naruto declined and picked up his kunai from the ground before he rushed the Winter Shogun. He also needed to blow off some steam right now, so there was that too.

Letting out a battle cry, Naruto stabbed with his kunai with the intent to pierce its armor. But to his surprise, the knife was harmlessly deflected off the monster's armor. If he didn't know any better, he would have thought the armor was made of diamonds instead of ice.

But diamonds weren't unbreakable, and this ice armor wasn't an exception.

The Winter Shogun grabbed the hilt of his sword and flicked its wrist, and a clicking sound followed after it.

Naruto snapped his head back just in time to avoid getting decapitated, and even then, a few strands of his hair were cut off. As expected of a monster Samurai in its name, it's draw was fast!

"But not fast enough!"

Naruto said and channeled wind chakra into his knife, making it glow a gleaming blue. If he wanted to pierce that thing's armor, he was gonna need more piercing power.

Circling around the Winter Shogun in a blur of speed, Naruto moved to slash its armor.

It seemed the monster had yet to recognize him as a threat do to his previous attack failing, as it turned to face him but didn't even bother to block the incoming attack. Big mistake!

The wind enhanced kunai slashed right through the Winter Shogun's armor, and it seemed surprised at the turn of events.

Seeing as the fight was slowly turning in Naruto's favor, Aqua scrambled to re-capture the Snow Sprites she had released.

"I forgot Naruto was strong! Come back Snow Sprites! I need you to cool my drinks~!"

Kazuma sweatdropped at Aqua's antics. What was that girl talking about shame earlier?

But Naruto really was strong. It made him angry when he thought he could have been like that too, had he not chosen that thing that was currently chasing after Snow Sprites.

"WAHHH! Kazuma-San! Save me! It's the Abominable Snowman!"

Aqua suddenly screamed, and Kazuma turned to see her running towards him with tears in her eyes.

"What are you... What is that!?"

Kazuma's eyes widened when he saw a white, hairy beast step out of the nearby forest. Of course a another strong monster had to show up right now! With Darkness and Naruto busy with the winter Shogun, and Megumin having already used her Explosion magic today, they were defenseless!

His first instinct was to run towards Naruto and beg him to use that glowy thing, but he stopped

after his first couple steps and Aqua zoomed right past him.

'Wait... If I run now, then I'll just be relying on Naruto and his cheat-like ability again. This is my story! If I want to become stronger like all those heroes in manga and anime, then I have to challenge impossible odds!'

With a newly determined mindset, Kazuma placed the still possum-playing Megumin onto the snow and turned around-

-to come face to face with the Abominable Snowman.

. . .

"GROOOAHHH!"

"Gyahhh!"

————————————————————

"AHHH! That's right!

Kazuma suddenly shouted and jumped to his feet, startling the white-haired goddess.

"Oh, sorry Eris-Sama... I just remembered how I died. Stupid useless Aqua, leaving me behind to deal with that strong monster..."

"Y-yes... Thank you for taking care of my senpai."

Eris said with a bitter-sweet smile on her face.

"Damn straight I took care of her! And what do I get in return? Lip! Debt! Now death!"

Kazuma said before plopping back onto his chair and crossing his arms.

"So, with your quest resulting in failure, I assume you'll wish to be reincarnated back to Japan?"

Eris asked, as that was generally the first thing the people asked for when they died in that world. And seeing as how Kazuma was acting while talking about his experiences, it seemed like his obvious choice.

"Yes please! Honestly, that world was nothing but trouble! First I had to work my butt off just to put food on my plate! But then I started running into troublemakers, one after another! A mage that can only use one spell a day, a loud-mouthed self-proclaimed ninja who has a cheat-like abilities, and then a masochistic knight who can't swing a sword to save her life!"

Kazuma took a couple seconds to regain his breath. He felt bad about ranting in front of this kind goddess, but he felt like she was the only one who would listen to his troubles and take him seriously.

He looked up at Eris to see her frowning sadly, and that was when he realized that somewhere during his rant, he had begun to cry.

"H-huh? T-that's weird..."

After giving the boy a couple seconds to collect himself, Eris smiled softly.

"Despite all those hardships, you came to love that world and everyone in it. Deep down, you are a kind person Kazuma-San..."

"Eris-Sama..."

Kazuma said and looked down at his feet. It seemed Eris saw right though him, huh? As expected of a real goddess.

It was true, he had come to love that Town of Beginners. The construction workers, the adventurer's guild, the rowdy adventurer's, the head receptionist Onee-San with the breast that looked like they would pop out at any given moment, Wiz's Faulty magic shop, Dust, Darkness, Megumin, Naruto, and the Succubus shop... God, he was going to miss that Succubus shop.

If he had one regret, it was not introducing Naruto to that shop.

"Now then, Kazuma-San. Are you ready to be reincarnated?"

Eris asked when she saw the look of content on the boy's face.

"Yes, Eris-Sama. But if I may be so bold to ask, I'd like to be a boy again."

"I think I can managed that. Now then, shall we-"

"Oh, and it it's possible, I wanna be born into a rich family!"

"I-I don't think I can-"

"Oh! Oh! Oh! And I and want a cute little sister that'll call me 'Onii-Chan'!"

"..."

Eris fell silent and strained a smile as Kazuma continued to get carried away with his requests. Why couldn't all the humans that died be easy to send off?

"Okay, I think that will do. I'm ready to go now Eris-Sama."

Kazuma said with a short nod. He was going to miss this messed up fantasy world, but he preferred a much safer life in Japan.

Eris nodded and pulled out some papers from nowhere in particular.

"Well then, good luck in your next lif-"

"KAZUMA! KAZUMA, CAN YOU HEAR ME?"

A certain Arch Priest's screechy voice suddenly rang out from above them.

"Aqua-Senpai!?"

Eris panicked when she heard her fellow goddess.

'That Aqua... Even when I'm about to be reborn, she still found a way to break the mood.'

Kazuma thought with a twitching eyebrow.

"Shadup! I'm not going back! Send everyone my regards!"

. . .

Just as he thought that finally shut the girl up, Aqua came back at full throttle.

"HAH!? WHAT NONSENSE ARE YOU SPOUTING!? LOOK, I HEALED YOUR BODY SO YOU CAN COME BACK NOW! ERIS SHOULD BE THERE, RIGHT? JUST TELL HER TO OPEN THE GATE!"

"A-Aqua-Senpai, you know that it's against the rules..."

Eris said in a meek tone.

"Hey, Aqua! Eris-Sama said that it's against the rules to send me back. So there you have it! Bye!"

Kazuma said and he was about to ask Eris to send him to his new life, but it seemed Aqua wasn't having it.

"IS THAT GIRL REALLY REFUSING A REQUEST FROM HER SENPAI? HOW SAD. SCREW THE RULES! JUST GET BACK HERE ALREADY YOU UNGREATFUL NEET!"

Is that really how a goddess should be talking about the rules of heaven?

"ALSO, DON'T BE FOOLED BY HER APPEARANCE! ERIS PADS HER CHEST!"

Kazuma's eyes immediately shot over to Eris' chest. Her breasts were quite big... Maybe not quite as big as Darkness or Wiz, but they were still up there. Were they really padded?

"A-Aqua-Senpai!"

Eris panicked as she moved to hide her chest from Kazuma's leering eyes, confirming the boy's suspicions.

"Seriously!?"

"NOW THAT YOU KNOW-H-HEY, MEGUMIN! STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO KAZUMA'S BODY!? STOP WRITING THAT! HEY! Naruto TOO!? I'M SORRY KAZUMA, I CAN'T STOP THEM!"

Hearing Aqua's panicky voice, Kazuma begin to sweat.

"Oi, what are you guys doing with my body!? Respect the dead you two! Grrr... Alright fine! I'll come back!"

Kazuma growled and turned to Eris, who looked like she was on the verge of crying.

"Alright, Eris-Sama. I changed my mind! There's still a couple of idiots I need to take care of before I croak!"

"O-okay, fine. I understand."

Eris said, regaining her composer. She really was the epitome of what Kazuma thought a goddess should act like. How dare that Aqua pick on this perfect being.

"I'll open the gate this one time, but only because Aqua-Senpai requested it. It'll be our little secret."

Eris said with a wink, and Kazuma felt his heart flutter.

What was this feeling...? It was something that he had been missing during his adventurers in the fantasy world.

'Of course... How could be so stupid!? This is the presence of a heroine!'

Just as Kazuma had that thought, a familiar beam of light projected over his body and he began to float upward.

"E-Eris-Sama! Before I go, can I ask you one thing?"

"Hm? Sure, go ahead."

"What's your type?"

Kazuma eagerly asked, and the goddess's eyes widened a little.

"Hm... I guess someone who is kind..."

Eris pondered in thought as the boy continued to go higher and higher.

Kazuma's smile grew wide. She had already called him a kind person, so maybe he a chance-

"Oh, and hardworking... Like your friend, Naruto."

Eris finished while wink her eyes and sticking her tongue out, instantly shattering the boy's hopes.

"Damn it all!"

And so, Kazuma returned to the world of the living.

————————————————————

Interface: A Setup Date for this Loli Succubus...

Dust walked up to a certain café he'd been frequenting lately. Despite the sign on the entrance door saying 'closed', he walked right inside without giving so much as a thought.

"Hey, loli-succubus! Are you here? I got a proposition for you!"

"Shh! I told you to stop calling me that! What if people

A cute girl with short whitish-pinkish hair and a petite figure came rushing to the front of the store.

"Sorry, I'll try to refrain from doing that. Anyways, about that that proposition... I need your help again."

Dust said while offering a mock apologetic wave, earning a pout from the little girl.

"Why would I help you after what happened with that Mitsurugi guy? I thought we were going to die when he found out I was a Succubus! I can't believe I let you talk me into helping you!"

The 'loli succubus' said with a heavy sigh

"Hey, it was good practice for your succubus skills. But never mind that, because this will be even better practice! I need you to seduce someone for me."

Dust suddenly said, brushing the fact that he almost got them both killed in his last scheme like it had nothing to do with their current situation.

The girl balked.

"Wha-Just because I'm a succubus, doesn't mean I just go around and seduce random men-"

"His name is Naruto and I'll need you to-"

"I'll do it."

Dust blinked at the sudden turn of events. Well that was easy. To think he had come up with various other ways of getting the girl to agree to his plan too...

But he thought it was just the receptionist succubus that was obsessed with the guy... Was actually all of them?

Lucky bastard.

"Okay, good. But we gotta come up with a name for you, cause the boss doesn't know what the term 'loli' means for some reason..."

"It's actually quite troublesome for a devil to reveal their name..."

The young succubus said with sweatdrop.

"Like a great man I know once said: 'You're much cuter when you're silent'. By the way, that's referring to you."

"W-well, compliments won't get you anywhere...!"

The petite girl said while clasping her rosy cheeks and stole glances at his direction. It seemed she mistook that phrase as a sole compliment to her looks.

Dust sighed. This girl was just too easy, all it took was one praise and she was hooked. Too bad she wasn't his type at all. He was more into girls like the receptionist succubus, not skinny girls with wash boards for chest like this loli-succubus.

But oh well, this girl will prove useful in his plan.

Now he just had to wait for Naruto to come home.

A/N: Alright See you on the Next Chapter!
