The Avalon Project Begins

Everyone had anticipated that the bunny girls were the pub's waitresses. Because of this, people waited only for the doors to open, and they even formed a line on their own accord, eager to be the first inside. The Baron, who was the first to enter, ended up with a nosebleed and fainted into Meari’s arms. That was only the beginning; those with weaker constitutions soon followed, either clutching their bleeding noses or hunched over in a daze as they retreated home. Despite having prepared themselves as much as possible, it simply wasn't enough. The scene inside the pub was so erotic it could be classified as 19-rated—no, 29-rated.

The bunny girls were showing off their physical beauty in various colors and styles, as if their initial appearance had been nothing more than a mild appetizer. "My god." The young man couldn't take his eyes off the outfits, which seemed to expose more skin than they covered. The fairy waitress who was serving drinks nearby wore an outfit so daring that the fine veins on her thighs were visible through the fishnet stockings. The young man’s gaze as he sipped his beer was rather blatant, and naturally, the fairy waitress felt it; she laughed and covered the hole she had intentionally torn in her own tights. "Oh my, where are you looking?"

"Ah... you're just so pretty, I couldn't help it."

"Pfft, I'll let it slide this time since you're honest. ...Oh my, are you the first customer from the general store?"

The fairy waitress was startled when she saw the young man. The young man, too, realized her identity upon seeing her. She was the very same fairy who had guided him through his stocking purchase earlier that day. "It’s quite a coincidence that we meet again like this. Did you manage to give the stockings as a gift properly?"

"Yes, ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠well, no... *gulp*." The young man’s mouth went dry. To think that a woman who wore such modest clothing during the day would be serving drinks in such a shameless outfit at night—just looking at it filled him with a sense of moral depravity.

"Fufu, it's impressive that you came alone. Of course, we have seats prepared for those who come by themselves. Would you like to come to the center?"

The fairy seated the young man across from the pub owner. At the U-shaped table, others who had bravely come alone, just like him, were chatting with the fairies one by one. The young man gathered his courage and brought up the topic first. "Um... I'll make good use of those stockings."

"Yes, I'm sure they'll be put to good use. Just make sure to bring your receipt if you ever need a refund."

The fairy waitress sat down right next to the young man. Even though it was a single seat and the space beside him was empty, no other bunny girl would ever join a customer like this.

"......." The bunny girls all began to giggle toward the young man, and the fairy waitress's hand rested on his thigh. The young man snapped to his senses. While the bunny girl next to him began to write something down, he glanced around the pub. 'Just how many of them are there?' There were at least ten fairies in sight. Some were moving between tables carrying food, while others were chatting with guests, heightening the lively atmosphere.

"Hey, Nancy! You were doing this in a place like this?! Hahaha!"

"This is actually quite amazing. How about you try working here too?"

"Me? Wear that? Hahaha, I'd get caught by the priests of the Goddess Church and be forced to listen to sermons before I even set foot in a dungeon!"

One bunny girl was bickering with a burly man. The young man opened his ears and began to focus on the various conversations drifting through the room. He was able to briefly synthesize the information about the bunny girls. They were all retired adventurers. Their timelines varied, but most had retired and found new positions in the merchant guild. And the pay they received was comparable to that of major merchant guilds in the capital.

"What on earth do you eat to have such glowing skin?"

"Men's love? Fufu, just kidding. My skin looks good because I get filled up until my stomach is bursting."

"...You're talking about your salary, right? Is something wrong with my head?"

"Who knows? Fufufu."

Listening to the fairies, the young man felt his suspicions turning into near-certainty. 'This place... it's exactly what I thought.' Even though they had the Baron's permission, if it were this decadent, there might be a secret passage somewhere leading to 'that kind of place.' Spending a night with the fairies there must be the true reality of this pub.

"I'm sorry. Let me check something for a moment. So, what are you thinking about all by yourself?"

"......No matter how I look at it, this place is definitely that kind of place." The young man began to probe the fairy. He took the woman's hand, which had been placed back on his thigh, and she grinned as if he had hit the nail on the head. "But seeing as that guy who asked to pay for a round was beaten up and handed over to the guards, it doesn't seem like you pay to enter. ...And it doesn't look like a place that specializes in selling drinks or food like this. What on earth are you people?"

"You ask about our identity over such strange things. Hmm, alright? You want to know that badly?" The fairy leaned her upper body forward. The young man had no choice but to turn his head away from the fair skin visible above the bunny girl's chest covering. "What's wrong? You're so shy. Are you a virgin?"

"......D-do I really have to answer that?"

"It's an important issue, you see. A virgin, huh..." The fairy gripped the young man's hand tightly and pointed to a door leading inside. "That’s perfect. Then, oppa, you’re going to have fun with me today and become a real man. How about it?"

"...As I thought, it is that kind of place. How much do I have to pay?"

"Money?" ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠The fairy straightened her face and slapped the young man's thigh. "Hey, we aren't like that. If you really have to pay, it's just the price of the food you ordered. It's not like that's incredibly expensive, is it?"

"Not at all." It was an amount he could easily afford for a single meal. And with such pocket change, he wouldn't even be able to buy a flower for a lady. "Since it seems like you're a beginner, I'll tell you. This place is where you do it if you want to."

"...My god." The young man was dumbfounded at the stairs leading to the basement. He didn't know when they had finished the interior construction, but the first basement floor, untouched by human eyes, looked like a prison yet was well-decorated with passages. "Then, oppa, come into the room. And we'll take a short rest."

The young man, as if bewitched, followed the fairy into the room.

"So, you're saying this place is configured to link directly with Avalon?" I couldn't help but admire the structure of the dungeon that Gremory had newly renovated. The open space, which was once nothing more than a trap room, had been remodeled like the basement of Avalon, and once the portals were fully equipped, humans would be invited directly from Avalon to the Gremory dungeon where the succubi resided.

"Yes. Conversely, it's set up so the succubi can go on expeditions immediately. You can even check in real-time. Take a look." Gremory pointed to a crystal ball placed on the table. The crystal ball, resting on a shelf across from the bed, was showing footage of somewhere—the various parts of Avalon in real-time.

"Isn't magic amazing?"

"Yes. And you, who use such magic, are amazing too." I kissed Gremory on the cheek, and she laughed and rubbed her cheek against my body. Gremory and I were able to grasp the situation at a glance through the remote crystal ball connected to the basement of Avalon. Although the image quality was quite crude, like watching through CCTV, it was ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠still entertaining to watch.

"Oh, he's going in." The first customer of Avalon finally entered the room. Gremory also watched the young man's appearance with considerable interest. "He's a virgin? At least I'll be able to extract a medium-grade magic stone."

"Can you tell just by looking?"

"Because he's a virgin. See how he's full of anticipation and confidence right now? Yet at the same time, he's terrified and scared. Hehe, I can tell at a glance." Gremory picked up a low-grade magic stone she had obtained through selling stockings. She had acquired a large quantity of low-grade magic stones, but she hadn't used them directly yet, just stacking them up.

"Do humans even know? That the vital energy they have extracted, driven by their sexual desire, will become magic stones and be used as the power of our legion?"

"If they knew, they wouldn't come down, obviously. ...Though some crazy bastards might come down even if they knew." In any situation, a man's sexual desire clouded his judgment, and not only the young man but the bunny girls began to hook men of their own taste and bring them down one by one. The first young man to enter was sitting demurely on the bed in a room decorated like a cramped motel room, waiting for the bunny girl to adjust her clothes in the shower room. Naturally, every situation in the room was clearly visible through the magic of Far-Sight. I cheered when the bunny girl gave an OK signal toward the mirror in the shower room.

"Then, shall we deploy the succubi? I'm sorry, but today I'll have to make the girls fly to the ground themselves." The portals weren't installed yet. So, for today, the succubi had to fly through the underground passages dug by Lime and the Slime Dragons. "Will the girls be okay if they pass through there? They might get covered in dust."

"Don't worry. The girls are starving to suck the vital energy out of the humans right now, it's no joke. They're probably saying they'll fly right away. Right, Princess?"

The succubi were all filled with the intention of diving into the humans' dreams with sinister eyes. Especially after hearing that the first customer was a virgin, their will to carry out the mission was sky-high. "Is eating a virgin that good?"

"From the succubi's perspective, it's no different from you taking a virgin."

"Then I approve." Fortunately, the succubi didn't seem to have much aversion to doing it with humans. I had made the plan knowing that, but I had been secretly worried about what I would do if they felt afraid the moment they tried to do it. 'If I tell them to do it by command, it's not a happy Las.' Las should be for happiness, and it should never trample on someone else's happiness. Aren't all the men coming down to the basement of Avalon doing so because they want to do it with the rabbit fairies?

"Right. Shaitan, deploy them immediately. Looking at the situation, it seems almost everyone will come down, so send them all. And if things go wrong, come back alive through the underground passage. Understand?"

[Of course. I will do my best to ensure nothing goes wrong.]

It's an operation to infiltrate the heart of enemy lines, so I can't help but be nervous. As many personnel, and the core members of our Las army, have been deployed directly, the operation must never fail. "If this one goes well... we won't even need to visit the sub-dungeons anymore. And if we do it well, we can extract high-quality magic stones."

"And the weakening of the Human Alliance's military power. Humans will become weaker without even knowing it. Ohoho, you really are good at using your head. No, should I say you're good at using your dick in times like this?"

"...Watch your language." Gremory giggled while spewing vulgar words. The person who had been most worried about the plan to use human sexual desire to strengthen our legion's power was none other than Gremory.

"Ha, I really don't understand. Why are they so drooling when they've only dressed up like rabbits, and just let out a little bit of a cheeky scent that they want to do it?"

"That's because they're easy to succumb to temptation... wait a minute." Through the mirror, the rabbit fairy sent some kind of signal. Touching the lower part of the bunny girl's body with her hand and gesturing toward the room, the signal was definitely certain. "...I didn't intend to let the fairies do it directly."

"Why? Ahahaha, they want to do Las. Then you should let them do Las, Commander?"

"...Good grief. Those guys are lucky. They do it with humans in reality, and with succubi in their dreams." Though it would end up being unilaterally taken advantage of whether in reality or in dreams while they were put to sleep by the fairy. I offered a prayer for the young man in advance. "I will make sure our legion makes good use of your virginity."

"That sounds a bit dirty when you put it that way. More than that, hey, it's a bit much if it's only men. What are you going to do about the women?"

"What are you talking about? It's not like they're lesbians, there's no way a woman would come into a place like that."

"There is one?" Gremory smirked, pointing to a woman descending into the basement beyond the crystal ball. "It seems like a big fish was caught from the start, what are you going to do? Boss?"

"......That lady, did she have that kind of taste?" Beyond the image, Baron Virgo could be seen descending, holding Meari's hand.
