Reborn as A Holy Knight (Remake) Volume 5 Chapter 1 (Patreon)

Chapter 1 – The Last Race

After procreating with Lezieune and Nara, I remained in the royal city and continued my activities.

As one would expect from the largest city in the “human” sphere, many different races were there.

And I wasn’t just having sex. I was also active as an adventurer.

As expected of a holy knight, I was more capable than I thought, and as a result, the guild had come to trust me after completing a series of quite difficult requests.

Thanks to that, I was able to gather a lot of information, and my mission progressed quite well.

Soon, it was already a month since I arrived at the royal capital.

While working hard on missions and requests, I was able to interact with many people in various ways.

I’ve had relationships with wealthy aristocrats and the daughters of merchants, and thanks to them, my donations to the Fertility Goddess also increased in order of magnitude.

“One more race, huh.”

One more race, and the mission is over.

However, the last race has yet to be found.

When the war against the Evil Gods was about to come to a close, people’s minds were in a state of deep depression.

Especially in the military, where many kinds of assaults were occurring.

Female soldiers were, almost without exception, used as an outlet for sexual desires. Even young male soldiers being violated by their strong seniors and superiors were a common occurrence.

In hindsight, the war would be over in a few years, but to the people of the time, it seemed like it would not be over for decades.

Their days were hellish. They kill monsters every day, while their occasional rest time is spent being raped by allies.

However, those nightmarish days came to an end when a certain race of people turned against the Evil Gods.

―― The Succubi Race.

They are a special race of women only, whose main source of nourishment is the semen they obtain from men of other races.

The Succubi were originally introduced into the human army in order to steal their energy. However, they became an ideal partner for male soldiers with an unquenchable sexual appetite instead.

At first, they were prisoners of war and used as comforters, but when the number of assaults began to drop dramatically in units with Succubi, the human military could no longer ignore their effectiveness.

Even for the Succubi, being surrounded by strong men and being raped one after another was nothing but a reward, and at some point, some began to be caught on purpose.

Soon, the Succubus Queen was invited to join the side of “humanity,” which they did, making the whole race defect to the other side completely.

The army, which had regained discipline with the turnover of the Succubi Race, then gained significant momentum.

In the end, the war ended with the defeat of the Evil Gods by the heroes summoned from another world. Still, without their help, it is obvious that the damage to the “human” army would have increased, and the cleanup battle after the defeat of the Evil Gods would be dragged on for years, delaying reconstruction for even ten or so years.

After the war, as the world became more peaceful, the Succubi Race was incorporated into the human race as one of the Demon tribes.

They mainly ran brothels, but due to the aftermath of the war, there were not many men, and they did not get many customers.

Even so, they were able to earn enough money to survive, and there were also the boys who could not participate in the war growing up and become adults. Thinking a percentage of them would become customers, their business should have prospered as long as they persisted for a time.

However, the succubi gradually disappeared from the public’s sight, and soon they could no longer be seen.

“Though, in my opinion, we might have driven them away.”

One of the guild officials in the royal capital told me this.

The few men who survived were, as it were, a precious breed.

Sex is an act of procreation, and it was the custom at the time to have one or two more concubines if one had time to diversify one’s sexual desires.

Although sex for pleasure was frowned upon, for the Succubi, this kind of sex was like a meal.

Unfortunately, the human race at that time did not have the luxury of being considerate of a minority race.

“They must have gotten tired of us using them only when it suited us and then treating them as a nuisance after they became useless.”

I hope they’re just hiding somewhere, but there’s no way they’re already extinct, is there?

“If so, then the task given by Gigliola won’t be able to be accomplished forever…”

“Hey, do you know a merchant named Russell?”

“Yeah. I’ve been hearing his name a lot lately. I hear that although he’s a young man, he’s with a lot of experience in his belt.”

“I hear he’s not only good at his business, but he’s good at his other half, too. I heard he already got ten wives.”

“Hohou, isn’t he great! I wish I could follow in his footsteps.”

“So… apparently, this Russell guy is from that town of Tokus.”

“Could it be that…?”

“That’s… no way…”

“Yes, he is also one of “those who have spirited away.””

Young and talented merchants, craftsmen, and adventurers are becoming well-known in the royal capital lately.

A percentage of them are from the town of Tokus, and several of them have had experiences of “mysteriously disappearing” in the past.

In fact, I have heard about this “Spirited Away Group” of Tokus several times in the past month.

“So, what’s this about the “Spirited Away” thing? Perhaps you’re asking me to investigate the cause?”

I was called into the guild one day about that mysterious disappearance thing.

“Well, even now, several people go missing every year in the town of Tokus, so there are always requests to search for them.”

“Oh, isn’t that quite a serious matter? If the victim was a woman, I’d do everything I could to help.”

“Well, that may be a problem. You see, all the victims are young men. And so far, all the missing persons would return within six months to a year, so the number of requests is very small compared to the number of victims.”

“Huuh? What do you mean by that?”

This is indeed a strange case. Although, come to think of it, all the rumored victims of being “spirited away” being men are also the same.

“I mean, wouldn’t it be faster to just ask the victim what happened to him while he was missing?”

“Do you think we haven’t thought of that? But, unfortunately, the victims don’t remember anything, and that only adds up to the mysteriousness of this case.”
