────How did it come to this?

My life has always been full of unexpected events, but this time, something particularly unusual was happening.

“Everyone~, I brought the infamous Claym Bradley~!”

“Ohhh, we’ve been waiting for this!”

“As expected of our leader! No man can resist her charm!”

“The rising star is hereeeeeee!!”

Led by my elf senior, whom I had suddenly encountered in the hallway, I was taken to an empty classroom in the school building. There were no signs of life around, except for the group of senior girls who were clearly ecstatic, surrounding and waiting for me.

“What is this place…?”

Granforest-senpai had told me that I was going to take my final test and brought me here, which I could understand. It also made sense that there were three other upperclassmen from the same faction as her. But there was one thing I couldn’t wrap my head around.

────Why is there a gigantic bed in the middle of the classroom…???

Actually, calling it “lived-in” might not be quite right. The room had an odd sense of isolation, almost melancholic in its desolation. The unsettling feeling I had earlier was still present, and alarm bells were ringing in my mind, screaming, “You need to get out of here now!”

“Whoa! I heard rumors, but he really is a hottie!”

“Damn, I’m getting wet…”

“Huh? Isn’t he immune to Elyu-chan’s charm?”

I had been told I was going to have an interview, but there was no sign of anything remotely resembling that. Not only that, but these senior girls were just as beautiful as Granforest-senpai, leaving me unsure where to look.

────Wait, did they just say something I can’t ignore???

As I resisted their attempts to cling to me, I asked a question.

“Um, weren’t we supposed to have the final test? I don’t see why there’s a need for a physical examination of my body?”

“Huh? Oh, don’t worry about that~. We’ll start the test soon~. Oh, right, we haven’t introduced ourselves yet, have we? My name’s Marcy. Nice to meet you!”

The one who answered me was a senior with brown hair tied in buns. The other seniors quickly followed suit.

“I’m Chern. Nice to meet you.”

“I’m Zico!”

“Uh, nice to meet you too…”

Despite the introductions, my confusion didn’t fade. They were still touching me without hesitation.

────And the way they’re touching me is getting increasingly inappropriate.

Since the interview didn’t seem to be starting anytime soon, I turned to Granforest-senpai for help. However, I immediately regretted it.

“Hey, Gra────whoa!?”

No, the real mistake was coming here in the first place.

Granforest-senpai turned around at my scream────

“Hmm? What?”

────Completely naked.

My brain couldn’t process it. Seeing her tilt her head in confusion, I reflexively shouted.

“‘What?’ is my line!! Why the hell are you naked!?”

She looked genuinely puzzled as she responded.

“Why…? What a strange question. When a man and a woman come to a secluded room together, there’s only one thing to do, right?”

“Ah! Elyu-chan, that’s not fair, going ahead without us~!”

“We’re supposed to do this together!”

“I’m stripping too!!”

“……”

Rather than scolding the suddenly nude elf, the other seniors hurriedly began undressing as well. At that moment, I realized:

────I’ve gotten involved with people who are way more dangerous than I thought…

And I also started to understand the truth behind the rumors about this elf senior.

People said she wasn’t interested in humans, but that was wrong. She simply wasn’t interested in men who were too easy to seduce. And the men she rejected were later found completely drained of their vitality… This wasn’t about them being test subjects for magical experiments or anything like that. No, it was exactly what it sounded like.

────In other words, every man who caught her interest was devoured by her.

My “dangerous woman sensor” was right all along.

“Wait… I’ve heard about this before…!!”

As I took in the scene that any man would watch with bated breath, a memory resurfaced.

There was a rumor at the academy… about a group of women who went around devouring men.

────So it was them…

It was one of the academy’s urban legends, dismissed as nonsense—a fantasy born of male desire. But it was real. And was no one concerned that an actual princess from a kingdom was part of this group?

“Wait, there’s no way this is okay!!”

Feeling both physically and morally endangered, I immediately tried to escape. But the seniors were quick to react.

“Everyone!!”

“““Understood!!”””

“What!?”

Completely unabashed, they once again surrounded me. Large and small, their exposed bodies left me with nowhere to look. This was beyond just suggestive—this was outright obscene.

────Give me a break!!

It’s not like I was so innocent that just seeing a woman’s naked body would make me blush, but being suddenly confronted with a group of strangers stripping was too much.

“There’s no way we’re letting you escape~!”

And of course, since they had an established faction, their teamwork was seamless, leaving me with no openings. Escaping unscathed would require significant effort.

────But I have no choice…!!

“Isn’t it amazing to experience all four of us at once???”

“Are you a virgin? Don’t worry, we’ll be gentle.”

“Just leave everything to your big sisters!”

“Heh heh, let’s get naughty together~”

“────”

They were completely insane. Who could have predicted that the first faction I visited would be a den of perverts? People say, “If a meal is served to you, you should eat it,” but this meal was laced with poison.

Giving in to temptation would be the end of me. I knew that all too well from my first life.

────Sorry, but I’m getting out of here!

Even if they were perverts, I had no desire to harm naked women. Instead, I swiftly cut my wrist, causing a surge of blood to gush out.

“Huh? Self-harm all of a sudden???”

The seniors gasped, but I ignored them. I manipulated the blood into thin, whip-like tendrils and wrapped them around their bodies.

“Ironblood Weapon: Eisen!!”

Instantly, my blood hardened into steel, binding them in place.

“Kyaah!”

“What is this!? It won’t come off!?”

“Kinky! Our first time and we’re doing bondage!?”

“Oh… this might be nice…”

Yeah, these people were beyond saving.

“W-Well then… goodbye…”

Leaving the immobilized seniors behind, I successfully escaped the “classroom” (or rather, the sex room). The blood restraints would hold for at least thirty minutes—long enough for them to cool off.

“…Why did I even go there in the first place???”

Once I exited the school building, I finally regained my composure. In the end, I neither joined a faction nor learned anything useful. All I got was an unsolicited strip show.

“Sigh…”

Exhaustion washed over me. I was done for the day.

────Choosing and joining a faction might be harder than I thought.
