After enjoying the bad route, Falling into the Octopuses’ Flesh Pot, Shiori had returned to the beach once again.

"Ahhh... that felt so good... ♡ Toward the end, more and more ’Baby Octopuses’ kept slipping inside me... It was amazing... ♡"

"Hehe... ♡ ...Whew. Well then..."

Finished savoring the memories of the bad route she’d just played, Shiori shifted her gaze.

"Well... I was thinking of hitting the beach hut next, but... hmm, I’m not really in the mood anymore... What should I do?"

"There’s no point overthinking it. I’ll head to the Guild and check the quests."

She’d originally planned to visit the beach hut after the bad route, but having lost interest, Shiori changed course and walked toward town.

Soon she arrived inside the Guild. Shiori began carefully looking over the posted quests.

"As expected, being this close to the sea, a lot of the quests are ocean-related."

"There are three pirate quests alone..."

Starting with pirate hunting, there were quests for searching sunken treasure, rescuing shipwrecked fishermen, fishing, and even miniature garden requests.

As Shiori examined each of the various sea-related quests, her eyes stopped on one in particular.

"Investigating a ghost ship... Now that I think about it, I haven’t run into anything ghost-related yet... I don’t really like ghosts, but... since I have the chance, maybe I’ll take this one."

Investigating the Ghost Ship. Recommended Level: 35.

Uncover the true identity of a ghost ship that appears on the sea at night. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

She hadn’t encountered any ghost-type monsters in Fantasia World yet. Although Shiori wasn’t fond of ghosts, she decided to accept the quest.

"...Oh, so this quest... can only be done at night."

"Well, it would be weird to look for a ghost ship in broad daylight, and the description does say ’the sea at night,’ so that makes sense... Which means... I need to go to an inn."

After accepting the quest, Shiori realized "nighttime" was required to begin. She changed her destination from the sea and headed for the nearby inn.

Once inside, she walked up to the innkeeper, an older man behind the counter.

"Welcome. Now, which room would you like?"

△△△△△

Room 101 is a solid, standard room.

Room 102 has recently been rumored to be haunted by a succubus, so please be careful.

The lock on Room 103 is broken, so please be mindful of other guests when you sleep.

Room 104 was originally the owner’s room and has been renovated.

△△△△△

Along with the innkeeper’s voice, a selection menu appeared—identical to the one she’d seen in Middle City.

Because of that, Shiori didn’t need to wonder what each room entailed. She could simply choose.

"Hmm..."

Not being attacked, a succubus, other guests, the innkeeper.

Since there was a chance to trigger an erotic event, there was no reason to pick a room where nothing would happen.

As Shiori weighed which of the three to choose, the older innkeeper approached with a smile.

"My recommendation is Room 104. What do you think?"

"Oh? Well..."

This innkeeper was a different man from the one in Middle City, but his line was the same. Looking closer, it was obvious he harbored lewd thoughts about Shiori—his eyes kept flicking to the cleavage of her large breasts, her slender waist, and her graceful limbs, all exposed by her swimsuit.

"Oh my... what a naughty look ♡ Since I’m here, I wouldn’t mind being assaulted by this old man while I’m asleep..."

"...No, I’ll take Room 102."

She suspected that choosing Room 104 at this inn would mean being drugged with sleeping pills by the old man and raped in her sleep. But she’d already been assaulted while unconscious last week when she played with Chika, so Shiori didn’t go along with his suggestion.

She chose Room 102—the room with a succubus she hadn’t seen since their first meeting.

"...I see. Understood. Then here’s the key."

"Yes, thank you."

When Shiori declined his proposal, the man made no attempt to hide his disappointment as he handed her the key. Shiori paid, took the key, and headed toward the back of the inn. She entered Room 102.

"The room’s design is pretty different too... Oh, what a nice view..."

The beds and tables at the Middle City inn had been simple, but the rooms at this seaside inn were decorated in white and blue throughout. Simple, yet with a resort-like atmosphere.

From the window, she could enjoy a beautiful view of the sea. That alone made it feel like a vacation.

"Hehe... I could stare at this for a while."

"I should tell Chika about it when we play together."

Shiori sat in a nearby chair and gazed out the window for a while. With her looks, the scene was picturesque.

"...Well then, shall we get started?"

After admiring the scenery, Shiori stood from the chair and lay down on the bed.

"Now that I think about it, if the inn changes, I wonder if the succubi that appear change too. I’m looking forward to it... ♡"

Curious about the different types of succubi, she closed her eyes. A menu appeared, and she selected ’sleep until night.’ Shiori’s consciousness drifted away.

"Hmm... this place is..."

When Shiori regained consciousness, she was still in the inn room. But the entire space had a faint purplish tint.

Shiori instinctively understood—this was already the world of the succubi.

With that realization, she sat up in bed, ready to get up... and at that moment, she heard a voice.

"Welcome back. It’s nice to see you again, beautiful lady."

"Uh..."

She turned toward the voice.

There, sitting on a purple cube, was a boy with indigo hair, about seven or eight years old—the succubus, Reem, whom she’d encountered before. His gaze was fixed on Shiori.

"Hehe... It’s nice to see you again, beautiful lady."

"I’m going to have a lot of fun and make you feel good... Oh, for now, please don’t move from that position."

"Ah... you..."

"Ah... I can’t move again... Just like I thought, I can’t resist... ♡"

Ah... I wonder what they’re going to do to me this time... ♡

Reem grinned at Shiori and thrust his palm toward her. At the same time, Shiori realized she couldn’t move her body.

Inside, her heart pounded with excitement at the thought of what would happen next.
