While successful in escaping the forest, the group of mixed races came to another problem once Orturic was within sight. Three members within their party couldn't show their faces.

Takumi, Manabe, and Ichi stood at the edge of the forest, too afraid to step out of the canopy's shade.

"You're going back into the city, right? I guess this is where we part ways," Ichi solemnly remarked.

"As if! You guys still owe me money from our card game the other night. I'll be coming around to collect my due, so try not to bite the dust until then." Edina grinned.

"Uh, yeah… I still can't look any of you freaks in the eyes after getting flashed by your dicks, but you have my respect for sticking up to Kanae back there— for sticking it in him, too." Arenade couldn't hold back from cracking that joke when it presented itself.

The two of them headed back into Orturic first to give Rosaline the mana-vamp starfish, leaving Kanae alone with his friends from home.

"S-So… " Kanae pressed his fingers together, blushing up as it dawned on him how much sex they had back in the cabin. "It would be really weird if we went back to Earth after this, huh?"

They reacted the same way, rubbing the back of their heads and scratching their noses out of embarrassment. The group of friends silently acknowledged that the line had been crossed, and there was no going back. Each of them had discovered the joys of sex with Kanae, and Kanae had likewise discovered the burning, lustful passion an orc, minotaur, and goblin could unleash on him. He was even the one to have taken their virginities, and gazing at each of them, he realized, must have stoked deeper feelings than just sexual desire.

Well, boys were quicker to fall in love and being wanted this way wasn't so bad.

"We're probably going to stay in the forest. Maybe shack up in Edina's cabin once those guys are gone," Ichi said.

"W-Will you visit us?" Manabe asked sweetly despite his lumbering size.

"Of course! We can talk about old times again, just hang out, and… maybe do more." Kanae winked, shooting a cupid's arrow into each of their hearts. He was beginning to wonder if living in Orturic was the right call. There were other cities in this world. It would be nice to find a place to live, away from the threat of demons and civilization's scrutiny for being monster races.

Before leaving, Kanae gave them each a hug, but pressing his breasts to their chests raised more than just their affection levels. As a goodbye gift, he sucked the three off until they were satisfied, commiting to memory the shape and taste of their cocks to have something to look forward to next time.

Back in Orturic, the city was in a state of subdued calm. Word spread fast that the dragon had set fire to a portion of the forest. Estaline and her party haven't returned yet, and Kanae was worried about whether it was safe to stay here or not now that she knew his identity. Since she had let him go, did that mean she believed him?

Thinking back to how Estaline was being dominated by those monsters, lying exhausted in the dirt, breathing heavily, and face caked with sweat, made Kanae wish it was he who had put her in that position. 

Not good. Now wasn't the time to be horny.

Kanae shook the lewd thoughts away and raced to Rosaline's atelier, where Arenade and Edina had presented the mana-vamp starfish to the alchemist. The monster was trapped in a large jar, and it seemingly couldn't escape no matter how hard it smashed against the glass.

"Good timing. Rosaline was just about to tell us about what this thing is," Arenade said.

"There were a lot of them in Turic. Any idea why they would be there?" Kanae asked her.

"Well, the answer is obvious. Someone had to have put them there. These monsters are very dangerous. It doesn't matter what level you are, their vampiric nature saps your strength. In fact, the higher level you are, the harder it is to break free because consuming your experience is how they grow stronger," Rosaline explained to their shock.

"Edina said these are pure, crystallized magic." He pulled a blue, finger-sized jewel collected from one of the monsters. "What exactly do they do?"

The alchemist continued, "Exactly what they are supposed to do. The mana-vamps transform drained experience into magic crystals which can be used in alchemy, enchanting, crafting… all sorts of applications! The problem is, owning one or raising the beasts is highly illegal precisely because they are parasites. Punishable by death, mind you!"

The trio gulped.

It was a good thing they went straight to Rosaline.

"Say… due to their illegality… would you say these are worth a lot of gold?" Edina asked, her greed showing in the form of drool.

"Oh, very much. Very, very much!" Rosaline nodded. "I would be happy to take this live specimen off your hands in exchange for 100 grand."

"ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND?!" they screamed together.

Arenade and Edina squeaked.

"Back at the cabin… th-there was one… two…" Edina started counting off how much gold they could have earned from capturing them alive instead of killing them.

Just what in the world was Renya trying to do with these expensive monsters? Certainly not sell them, otherwise she and her crew wouldn't leave them lying around. Maybe the answer was the crystals.

With no reason to keep the mana-vamp starfish and risk being caught with it, they sold the monster to Rosaline for the fat paycheck. Kanae was surprised, however, to receive what appeared to be a banknote instead of gold coins this time around.

"Is this… a bill?" Kanae asked.

"You wouldn't be able to walk with 100,000 gold coins, would you? These banknotes can be exchanged at any adventurer's hall or bank. Now, shoo. Shoo! My tail is itching to see what I can do with this monster." Rosaline ushered them out the door.

They returned to the adventurer's hall at last and deposited the check with Sara's help. Though Edina wanted to cash it out all at once, Arenade and Kanae managed to convince her against it, and the trio settled on drawing out only an amount of gold they needed. After what felt like ages, they were able to dine like royalty without fear of going broke.

"Aaahhhh! We could have made over a million if we brought the rest back alive!" Edina wailed, four large mugs of beer deep into drinking and red like a tomato.

Arenade finished the rest of her glass of expensive wine and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Kanae asked.

"With all this money to spend, I'm going to the bath house on the other side of town. I hear they have illusory magic for private baths that can turn into any place you want, so I'm going to splurge." On her way out, she stumbled right into Estaline who entered the hall with her party.

The demigoddess staggered back, and Kanae froze in his seat.

Estaline met his eyes, nodded once, then apologized to Arenade for bumping into her and shuffled past to head upstairs.

"She… She totally knows you're a succubus, doesn't she?" Edina whispered.

"Yeah," Kanae said. "But I think we're safe for now."
