"There's the city"
"It sure is big..."
After a few more hours we reached that nearby town.
Both of us had zero information on that town.
Since Myella never really left her domain in the Nether Realm, she only knew that this town's name is Vlaha.
A free city with a somewhat high amount of traders and adventurers.
And that's the end of her knowledge.
Well...not that I care, we'll just go for a trip around the town then leave.
Since I don't know where I'm going, I decided that if we run into a town, we'll pay it a visit then continue to walk endlessly to nowhere in particular.
"I'm amazed that you actually agreed to do a global jogging with me..."
Of course it's a white lie, I felt nothing as usual.
If I have to describe it, I'd say I just wanted to know why a beauty like her accepted my absurd plan of traveling the world on foot...
"Eh? Not that I have anywhere to go though...my domain's been destroyed by an Alliance of human's Kingdoms...I doubt there's anyone surviving..."
"You don't wanna go revenge or anything?"
"No...I guess? If I go I'll just get purified instantly before being able to do anything...so following Meanie-san would be way better~"
"I have a name, and I'm not mean, I just don't have the ability to be nice..."
"Yeah~ yeah~"
"You're not even listening, are you..."
We came closer to the town.
The ramparts were very high.
Security seemed to be tight at the gate.
Guards were checking identity cards of people moving in and out.
Those that didn't have a card had to register one on the spot.
Myella said that with this skull face I would only cause an uproar.
So she used illusion magic to cast a fake face on top of the skull.
The appearance was based on the previous human me.
She knows since she sneaked into my dream once.
She also camouflaged herself with a high-level illusion magic.
I wonder if the jersey and jeans looked weird, but we proceeded anyway.
Charge: [...]; Magic[Illusion]
(Author's Note: It's a pain to write everything out, so I'll just use the [...] icon for irrelevant Charges based on the situation)
Surprisingly, we passed through the registration without any problem at all.
I also found out that, buffs will be charged and effective at the same time.
That illusion magic just now, it worked and at the same time got charged.
But I can only return it back on Myella.
If she's dead then I don't know yet, I haven't test that out.
Since this spell was but an easy task for her, the Charge became useless.
So I focused my mind and discharged it, too many of them makes me confused.
We stopped at a general merchant stall near the gate.
There was actually a guide book, sort of.
It's just a lump of paper stacked together by some thin fabric ropes.
But at least there was relevant information inside, along with a general map of the city.
Pretty typical of a fantasy town I'd say.
There were 4 main districts, the Merchant, Resident, Noble, and Adventurers.
The Guild is of course, in the Adventurers district.
I don't have any need to meddle with the Guild, so let's just head to the Merchant district.
I want to see what kind of food and "toys" they sell there...
Not that we have that much money though...
We looted 10 silver coins and 35 copper coins from the Blue Bear's lunch, meaning Myella's former escorts.
But the Knights carried zero money on them...how poor is their church...?
I put some thoughts into the shopping matter while we were walking.
I don't know, should I buy a few cute things for Myella?
My clothes would eventually get destroyed during battles...
Though it would return to its original state after eating some fruits, there isn't anything to guarantee that it'd work on something other than my jersey and jeans...
I don't know how I feel about buying something for Myella, she seems pretty into those hair clips...
If a normal person have my feelings right now, I think it would be irritation.
I'm OK to spend money and buy her stuffs, I don't need anything.
But at the same time I wouldn't bat an eyelid about not buying her anything either...
How should I proceed?
I can't even get irritated at myself and want to go mad.
I'm just pretty bad when it comes to pleasing women...
So, I made a decision.
Since it's OK either way, let's choose the way that would make everyone happy.
"Sir, how much is this one?"
"OOOH...young man, you have quite the eyes for women right there...this thing would suit your lover perfectly"
"L-L-L-Lover?!?"
Myella suddenly blushed and cast her eyes down fidgeting...
I didn't really understand it, except for judging her actions as cute.
I guess I'll eventually become the dense type protagonist with this undead body...
Not that there's anything to guarantee my role as the protagonist of a story though...
"...1 silver coin...here you go...thank you!"
"Thank you for shopping at my stall!!"
I got Myella a hair clip with a small rose made from iron on it.
Apparently they also have paints here, the rose is actually red with carvings as the main details making it take shape of a rose.

First Shopping
Charge: DMG[80 +100]
I put it on her hair myself, put a fist on my chin and nodded in...satisfaction?
No, I don't think so, I just viewed her as "cute" with that thing on.
Especially when she blushed more violently and looked around in embarrassment.
"Hmp...nice...let's go"
"O-O-Okay..."
The next moment, she clung to my arm again and smiled brimmingly while walking.
But...no damns were given.
I just couldn't feel any excitement from the soft swelling pressing against my arm.
I guess I'll just make a quick judgement that she has very nice proportions.
Next, we ran into a few food stalls.
I had the same problem in thinking about the situation again.
Eventually I used the same way of thinking and bought Myella a stick of grilled meat.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
Pork Meat LV.2
Quality: 82%
Charge: [...]; Ian[Over-pricing]
You motherfucker...
30 copper coins for a stick of meat...
Well...I'm not angry...I'll remember his face and come back to sell him something with his own Karma later...
Ehh...that wasn't a grudge.
I had zero motivation to revenge.
What I want is to test out the charge, and earn a bit of money so I can buy some more things for Myella in the future.
Next, clothing shops.
I'm not going for tailors...
I don't know why, but I rationally judged that tailors would touch Myella all over the place if I were to order new clothes for her...
And what the hell is wrong with my head?
Is there only the word Myella in there?
I guess it's just natural when she's my only companion.
I myself want to buy nothing.
So the money would just pile up in waste, given that we'll earn more, thus I'll use it for her.
Done.
Anyways, she wasn't really interested in the clothes so we just walked by and arrived at a magic shop.
According to the pseudo-guidebook, shops with weapons, gears, potions, and such can be found either here or in the adventurer district.
If we go deeper inside, there'll be the high class shops for rich guys.
Which we are not, so let's see around the Equipment shops and leave.
Myella was even more disinterested in the magic shop...
"Ehh...you don't like these things?"
"Hmm? No, it's not like that...I can make better things so I just don't really care about LV.2 items..."
"You can identify the level?"
"I have [Analyze] skill, you know?? You just really don't care about me that much, do you~?"
And why are you puffing your cheek?
I don't really know how do I feel about that...
Is she complaining?
Damn...I'm really turning into a dense character...
"Um...sorry about that then..."
"Hmph!"
Ehh...she turns away with a that sound again...
Let's make a mental note to talk more about herself, that's the only way I know to show some care towards her...
[Mental Note Recorded]
Talk more about Myella
Oh shit...there's this feature, too?!?
OK, let's use this to the utmost potential.
I'll just have to take notes so I don't walk down the path of dense characters...
That makes me a tiny bit curious about Myella...

Great.
Fuck you, system...
You just stole everything I need to ask Myella.
Well...not that I'm mad at you anyway.
I guess I'll ask about her daily life...
*THUMP*
Hmm?
What was that sound?
"Oi!!! Young lady, are you OK?!?"
The shout of the shop owner caught my attention.
When I turned towards Myella, she's already on the ground unconscious.
What the hell...
Hmm...
I'm not panicking, that's good.
What should I do now...
I need to know her condition first.
Hey, information-out-of-nowhere-sensei, you mind lending me a hand?
Myella
Condition: Stress Overloaded, no danger found.
Good.
Let's just find an inn and let her rest a little.
Then we'll talk.
Of course I have Heal with me in my Charges.
But I don't think it'd work on mental health...
"Sir...do you know any good nearby inn?"
***
"Feeling better now?"
"Eh?!? Why am I here??"
This is unbelievable...
She got overloaded because of sexual stress.
When I told her everything, she blushed and reluctantly told me about Succubuses.
They live off of sexual desire from others.
She did charge up by sneaking into my dream last time.
But it ran out, since this udnead body is a gentleman without any desires...
"You should have said so earlier..."
"H-H-How can I spit that out that easily!!!?!?!"
I mean, I also charged your "energy" within me, I could've just given you some...
She said that it would work even better if it's not just desire but real pleasure.
Apparently, the desire from the "human me" within my dream wasn't that much.
Well...I was grieving over a trauma in the past...so not having any desire would be just natural...
"Sighhh...then let's do this then..."
Again, white lie...I didn't really sigh.
It was only a gesture.
"EH?!? W-W-What are we d-d-doing??????"
I suddenly pushed her down to the bed.
Then...
Well, I don't think I'll go into details.
With a few certain "actions", I released the Charge [Sexual Pleasure] back into her.
And then...ehh...no...that's it, I'm not an eroge fanatic, I won't just spit those things out.
I myself felt no shame in telling, not that I can anyway...
But I'll reserve Myella's face, that's all.
Myella
Stress Level: 2%
Good.
She'll have enough for a few more days.
But really though...what kind of succubus are you?!?
You're too pure, innocent and defenseless before these things...
Turns out that most succubuses have only been acting tough in men's dreams.
In real life...they're just virgins.
Ironic, isn't it...?
By the time I was done with the "energy business", the Sun already came down.
Myella was somewhat exhausted so she fell asleep right away.
I wasn't tired, but let's just close my eyes and sleep til morning.
I also told her to jump into my dream when needs energy, I don't particularly mind anyway...
So I guess everything's alright for now.
Goodnight...
