Time passed swiftly, and before they knew it, evening had arrived.
In this Western fantasy world, without smartphones, computers, or televisions, the nightlife naturally reverted to more "primitive impulses" (if you catch my drift).
August wasn't sure about other places, but in this small town, he got a firsthand look at what Succubus Cafe was all about. Goodness, the entire street was lined with succubus establishments.
Not only that, but ladies of various races were out on the street, enticing customers. The scene was like something straight out of an adult movie.
"Hey, handsome, wanna have some fun?"
"Come over here, big sister will make you feel real good~"
"Little cutie, how about coming to my place?"
…
As they strolled along, all sorts of monstergirls approached them. The allure of the situation was overwhelming.
Compared to this place, the Pleasure District in Orario was nothing. This was truly a man's paradise.
Stank and Zel were completely entranced, with beautiful women flocking to them, tempting them at every turn. They were thoroughly enjoying themselves, nearly forgetting the world outside.
But compared to those two, August was clearly more popular.
After all, being handsome was always an advantage, especially in situations like these.
Whether it was a succubus or any other monstergirl, unless she had a particular preference, she'd almost always choose a handsome guy over an older man.
After wandering around for a while, the three of them finally managed to extricate themselves from the clutches of temptation.
"So, Stank, where are we going tonight?" Zel asked, wiping the lipstick off his face.
"I think that Cat Paradise we just passed was nice. It's full of cat-eared girls."
"Didn't we go there just yesterday?"
"Uh, how about the Elven Forest?"
"No way. The elves in there are all at least three or four hundred years old. They're older than my mom. Definitely not."
"Then how about the new Mermaid Pavilion?"
"Ew, I heard the quality of the mermaids there is terrible. Rejected."
"Damn it, Zel, you shoot down every suggestion I make. So, where do you want to go?"
"I'm just asking you, Stank."
Watching these two bicker, August couldn't help but feel exasperated. Seriously, these two got along so well.
But just then, a certain establishment's name caught August's eye.
The Bovine Ranch
At the entrance stood two cow-girls, who, in every sense of the word, were incredibly attractive, enticing customers inside.
Not only that, but despite their criminally seductive figures, they had such innocent faces that all the men around couldn't help but stare.
"Hey, Stank, Zel, how about this place?" August interrupted their argument, pointing at The Bovine Ranch.
"Hmm?"
"Huh?"
They turned their heads, and once they saw it, they couldn't look away.
Almost every man, no matter his type, has an undeniable attraction to the 'big,' including those who might be labeled as 'loli-con.' If you ask him if he likes 'big,' the answer is almost always a resounding yes.
"So wicked~"
"Yes, such wickedness~"
In that moment, both Stank and Zel were completely mesmerized and found themselves unable to pull away.
August couldn't help but recall a scene from the original story where these two, having agreed to evaluate a succubus establishment for the demons, were sidetracked and abducted by these cow-girls.
It was evident just how powerful their allure was; it was absolute.
"Alright, it's decided. Tonight we're going to the 'Bovine Ranch.' Let's go."
"Oh~"
The two of them darted towards the Bovine Ranch, leaving August momentarily stunned by their eagerness.
However, August quickly caught up with them. He had to admit, he was quite curious about this place himself.
Upon entering the establishment, they were greeted by a cow-girl at the reception. Even just standing there, with her minimal movements like raising an arm, was enough to spark vivid fantasies.
"Welcome to the Bovine Ranch. Are you three familiar with our services?"
The receptionist smiled as she inquired, but at this moment, Stank and Zel were so captivated that they seemed to have forgotten their own names.
August facepalmed in exasperation. Seriously, guys, can you not act like you've never seen anything before?
"No, this is our first time here."
"In that case, you can choose your preferred companion."
She handed them a booklet, which, upon opening, revealed pages filled with photos and detailed information about the cow-girls. The measurements and sensitive points were even clearly marked.
August was genuinely astonished. This was a complete industry chain—impressively meticulous.
"I'll take this one."
"I want this one."
Before August could even finish processing, Stank and Zel had already made their selections. The service was swift as well, with two cow-girls quickly arriving to escort them away.
"August, don't worry. Pick anyone you like. Tonight, I'm treating, so go ahead and have fun."
Stank's voice called back, making August smile in amusement and surprise. It seemed he really considered August a friend.
August had seen the pricing structure. For a three-hour session, it cost a whopping three thousand gold coins—one thousand per hour.
He had a rough idea of the local cost of living from his meal at the tavern. A hearty meal with fine wine and dishes would hardly cost a hundred gold coins. Here, it was a thousand gold coins per hour.
"Excuse me, sir. Do you not have a preference?"
At that moment, the cow-girl receptionist leaned in closer, her entire body pressing against August, sending his thoughts racing.
"I'll go with her."
August chose a tall cow-girl with long golden hair.
The receptionist paused for a moment, then her expression shifted slightly, becoming a bit unusual.
"Um, sir, are you sure you want her?"
"Is there a problem with her?"
August was puzzled. This was a succubus establishment; surely there wouldn't be any melodramatic twists?
"Well, there's no problem per se, but compared to the other cow-girls, she's a bit... demanding. Previous guests who chose her ended up being carried out. After that, well..."
She didn't finish, but August understood. It seemed this one was a high-level boss.
"That's alright. I like a challenge. I'll take her."
"Very well. Since you insist, I'll call Lucina over."
The receptionist didn't seem to mind much. To her, August was simply a young man eager to prove himself.
