The Fate X Dungeon
Ch#02 - Men who are not tempted

What the man said made the succubus confused. What he meant by 'working' was the same as 'working' he had in his mind, such was the question in his heart.

Without hesitation, he descended and set foot on the ground after hovering for a while. He looked at the man before him to find a definite answer from him.

“Work for you said? Of course, I will not disappoint you, giving satisfaction is the meaning of my life. Then, for my pay... what if—”.

“No, not like that. I didn't make a call to ask you to open my legs for me.”

“Eh?!”

He seemed confused by the face of the succubus. His mind froze, he had trouble understanding the man's words.

The Succubus, which is basically a race descended from demons, is most happy to play tricks on other creatures. In her case, she can tease men, and humans are the most favorite for them. The reason is simple, because it is the only way for them to live and thrive. By consuming the energy of other creatures through the relationship ‘special’, both directly and through dreams.

Based on that fact, succubus is generally called to satisfy the desire for its caller. So it is a common fact why almost all who call them are from the male class. It is natural that their appearance is very alluring.

That's why it's so strange that they are called by people who have no interest in it, despite knowing that succubus is a race that thirsts for biological satisfaction.

In that position, the succubus that is called is currently being reached.

Whatdoes thatmean? What's wrong with this guy?

So inner succubus in heart.

Feeling that something was wrong, the succubus again asked what the previous words meant.

“Enn so... what does it mean? I don't understand, what's your purpose in calling me?”

Feeling no need to answer, the man who called out to him simply swung his index finger. As if giving the order to the magic circle that lit up under the succubus' feet, the magic circle lost its light a few seconds later.

Succubus frowned asking for more answers, but for free. The man simply turned around, and walked away leaving her.

“Why did you remove the barrier?” tanya succubus was still curious, while starting to follow him.

A silence without conversation, their journey was completely calm. Only footsteps echoed in both of their ears. There was no sign of the man, that he would give an answer.

Even though his head was still filled with many questions, even though he still did not understand. Succubus eventually chose to follow suit, without asking much more.

“My name is Erza, Witch.”

No matter what the man had in mind, he uttered a short, dense, and clear introductory sentence. Absolutely without any fillings.

This fella? What the fuck?!

Only in the heart. Succubus was completely dropped in a wheel of confusion. He understood the reason, and the man did not force him to introduce himself either.

But as a woman born from a race that has high sensual power, it makes her uncomfortable. He would be much better off if the man asked his name.

“Arrh, Sella! Just call me Sella.”

Feeling that he could not stand it anymore, that was all that could be said to the man despite not being asked.

There was no response of interest, even flatly glancing only at the brief Sella who walked following him behind.

Haaaaaaaaaa!!!

The parameters of Sella's annoyance are really made even higher. For Sella now, that witch named Erza is really annoying.

It felt like his pride as the Succubus who was known to be the most shrewd in alluring had already been destroyed. But Sella had not been able to express her annoyance, her face had hit the back of Erza who had just stopped walking.

Sella realized that they were no longer in between the long passage of stone like before. Although the room they are in today is still made of stone, but arranged more neatly than the stone walls in the hallway.

“Could he be a magic researcher?” sella muttered softly until not heard by Erza. So as long as she was upset about her indifference, Sella did not realize that she was entering such a room.

“What's up? Here's what I want to show you.”

Realized by those words, Sella moved her head looking for something Erza meant.

A mysterious sphere was something that attracted the most attention and wanted to be shown by Erza, other than because it was placed in the middle of the room. His being able to float through the air without a buffer was an obvious fact that made him even more interesting.

The working principle must be magic, that is the conclusion that Sella got when she saw it for the first time.

“What do you think? This is my dream, know something about this?” erza said still with her flat face.

This thing? Dreams said?

Despite looking at her uninterestedly, Sella herself was actually quite curious as well. What is the reason the man who is not interested in his body, calls the ball-shaped object as his treasure.

Actually among the many succubus, Sella is smart and knowledgeable than other succubus who are more interested in perfecting ways to seduce other races. Sella prefers to learn new things, and knows the secrets of the world.

You could say, Sella is a broad-minded succubus. So just by observing him for a while, he could instantly tell what mysterious orb Erza had called a treasure.

“Dungeon Core's. A magic core capable of organizing and managing every room that is connected into one, and this room that acts as its center. No, more precisely if the ball is the center.”

That was the explanation Sella understood from the ball. He even as much as he could, explained it very briefly yet clearly.

“Good. Looks like I don't need to make any more calls for now because you're already knowledgeable enough.” Erza said.

“A-What was that compliment to me?” sella asked somewhat hesitantly, and was answered by the magician expressionlessly.

“Of course. That's a compliment from me.” It clearly remained flat, despite the slight satisfaction from his words. “I don't really expect much, considering that what appears is succubus.” he added, immediately made Sella respond to the statement.

“Basic liar! I remember clearly before you said, 'good thing went well.' When I just got out of the magic circle.”

“Really?”

“Of course! I still remember clearly, even I remember you still put on your flat expression when saying that.” Sella concluded by pointing at the face of her interlocutor.

“Hm, actually I'm not lying at all. Whether you believe it or not.”

In a glance as Erza said that, it was seen that the corner of her lips curved upwards. The mimic changes of his face certainly did not escape Sella's observation, until it made the beautiful woman confused.

He was smiling, right? What the hell does that mean? What a difficult man to understand.

“Alright then, meaning you understand what dungeon core is here for?” As soon as the question was over, Erza who had just turned her back on Sella, and spoke while looking back. He now faces the body completely to the succubus.

It became a clear signal, if now this is the time for serious talks.

“I'm sure I understand, even at least I can a little guess what kind of dream you were talking about before.” Sella said no less seriously.

“Then just go straight. Help me build this dungeon, work for me, and be the one who understands this dungeon the most after me. Then I give you all the things you need most right now until it's time our contract expires.”

Erza gave a willful look, she even extended her hand to Sella.

It made Sella understand something. Even though Erza is a man of flat expression, does not talk much, and it is difficult for her to understand. But once he talks about something that he likes, he will start to talk a lot, and the look in his eyes will look full of will as it is today. Although, only his expression was still flat.

Such was Sella's opinion of the man standing before her, at least for now. Unknowingly, Sella began to take a slight interest in Erza, and smiled gently as she stared deep into the eyes of the man.

However, there was one thing Sella wanted to know before she accepted the contract. And that's something that can't be negotiated.

“Actually you are interested in women or not?”
