Beastmen comprise over 30% of the total population, and within that group, there's a really wide variety of races.
Among them, the most numerous or those with a strong influence throughout society are the Catfolk, the Wolfkin, and the Dragonkin.
For reference, my teacher is also a Wolfkin.
Anyway, if there's any race as famous as those three, it would be the Rabbitfolk.
As a single race, they account for about 30% of all Beastmen, so there's no need to say more, right?
The secret to that was their vigorous libido and a faster pregnancy process compared to other races.
From conception and implantation to childbirth, it only takes eight months?
Because of that, I know there are a lot of guys who look down on Rabbitfolk women and approach them. Even back in high school, there were quite a few of those guys.
But just because they have a lot of libido, it doesn't mean they're omnivorous and eat anything.
Rather, they have a strong tendency to be aggressive, especially towards men who look down on them, so they're one of the alien races you have to be most careful with when approaching them for the first time.
Of course, maybe not as much as those with a strong homosexual inclination.
"A bunny girl?"
I looked up and down at the Rabbitfolk woman who appeared out of thin air.
Judging by her bunny girl outfit, blue eyes, and long twin tails, she didn't seem like an ordinary woman.
Objectively, if you only looked at her appearance and figure, she was definitely an attractive woman, but everything else about her was unsettling.
I had a strong feeling that I didn't want to get close to her.
However, as I said before, her appearance and figure were objectively unbelievably attractive.
As befitting a bunny girl outfit, her large breasts were clearly exposed, and her pelvis and thigh lines were breathtakingly prominent, along with her seemingly bursting buttocks.
It wasn't an outfit that a man could easily take his eyes off of.
Even if I tried not to be conscious of it, sneaking glances wasn't something I could resist.
"Ah-ha? Customer. I'm sorry, but I'm not the reward, you know?"
The rabbit woman's eyes curved into crescents.
Within the gaze I saw beyond them, there seemed to be a strange excitement swirling.
Is that my imagination?
"Aren't you being a little too obvious about your disappointment?"
"I didn't."
At my firm voice, the rabbit woman let out a slightly suggestive groan, as if she were disappointed.
What do you know, she's already in heat?
"Anyway, you're the reward? What does that mean?"
"It means exactly that?"
"…But you said you weren't."
My gaze swept past the rabbit woman's breasts, pelvis, and buttocks, finally landing on her thighs.
How many men in the world could have other thoughts when faced with a woman who said she was the reward, wearing that outfit and having that figure?
"Customer! A gentleman doesn't look for a woman's value only in her physical aspects!"
The rabbit woman made an X with both hands and made a "beep beep" sound with her mouth.
Exaggerated gestures and reactions, full of playfulness in all her words and actions.
Because of that, I couldn't tell what she was thinking.
"Then what can you do for me?"
"Anything you want!"
"…"
She dresses like a hostess and says she'll do anything I want, but she won't do anything with her body?
That's quite the contradiction.
"Your eyes are too blatant!"
"…Never mind."
Of course, I can't deny the fact that she has an undeniably attractive appearance and figure.
"Hey, you, did you come out of the Isekai Dating App?"
But I already have lovers in Iris and Cheon Yeohwa, and I've had experiences with Choi Hyena several times.
There was no need to lose a precious opportunity by getting blinded by a woman.
"Who knows?"
A crescent shape appeared on the rabbit woman's lips.
Is she refusing to comment?
"Then what if I ask you to tell me about the app as a reward?"
"…"
The rabbit woman's expression instantly hardened.
"Customer."
A cold voice, 180 degrees different from before, filled the surrounding space.
This wasn't just a change in her voice.
My instincts were warning me.
"There's something called a MacGuffin in stories. It motivates the story, but it never actually appears."
Now is not the time to speak carelessly.
Goosebumps rose all over my body, and cold sweat trickled down my spine.
"A reader who tries to dig into a MacGuffin without sense isn't viewed favorably by the author."
"…So, if I dig any deeper, you'll kill me?"
But I couldn't bury this problem forever.
Rather, I decided to take another step in this precarious tightrope walk, as I didn't know when an opportunity like this would come again.
At my decision, the smile disappeared from the rabbit woman's lips.
"If necessary, I could."
The rabbit woman and I made eye contact from a subtle distance, within arm's reach.
At that moment, when I thought I could even feel a faint killing intent beyond her cold gaze, a clear blue energy formed at the rabbit woman's fingertips.
The force was weaker than my teacher's, but it was definitely a Hand Strike.
The moment when the inner energy, a possession of masters that even the highest output barrier I could create couldn't block, was about to reach towards me.
"Customer, you should watch your… Kyaaaaack?!"
Kwaaaang!!!
Suddenly, lightning struck from the sky.
Of course, it wasn't my lightning.
It was literally a bolt from the blue in the dry sky… no, dry ceiling.
It wasn't a trap that was activated. I had stepped there before, too.
And it wasn't a monster attack either. Even if I turned on magic detection, there wasn't a single monster around.
"Kuh, eugh…"
Woo-oong-
The rabbit woman, who I thought had fainted from being directly hit by the lightning, trembled as she got up, and at the same time, a familiar vibration sound came from somewhere.
It sounded like a cell phone ringing.
"Hii, hiik?!"
The rabbit woman's complexion turned pale in an instant at the sound. She hurriedly reached into her cleavage and took out her cell phone.
I've only seen it on Newtube, but is that really a storage space?
"Ye, hello…? Yes, yes…! What? Ki, kill me?! Would I ever do that for real? Ha, ha…"
Whether I reacted or not, the rabbit woman, who didn't even care about my reaction, held the cell phone with both hands respectfully and answered the call, showing the image of a junior employee.
After that, the rabbit woman continued to talk for a long time, not caring that her whole body was soaked with sweat.
The rabbit woman always repeated only three patterns of answers like a parrot: Yes, No, I'm sorry.
As if even expressing her own opinion was too much.
In the midst of all that, the voice on the other side of the phone couldn't be heard, as if it had been filtered.
"Ah, yes, got it!"
Just in time, the rabbit woman sighed in relief, as if the call was over.
Then, looking at me with an inappropriately anxious expression, she cautiously approached.
"He, hehe… Cu, customer…? You know that everything I said earlier was just a joke, right…?"
She rubbed her hands together pitifully and spoke carefully, looking like a humble rabbit.
Ah, she is a rabbit, right?
"A joke?"
"I, would I ever try to harm you for real?! Of course, it was just humor to advance our relationship!"
"It wasn't funny."
At my cold reaction, the rabbit woman's complexion turned pale again.
Besides, even the rabbit ears that had been standing straight a moment ago drooped down. It sounded like I could hear her brain spinning all the way over here.
"If, if you felt offended, I sincerely apologize…"
"Without offering anything?"
I don't know about anything else, but I was sure that the relationship between us had become clear.
It wasn't difficult to guess the reason.
If I think about how the rabbit woman called me a customer from the beginning and maintained a consistently low profile while answering the phone, the picture becomes clear.
Imagine, a company sends an employee to serve a VIP customer, but this incompetent employee not only spouts nonsense to the VIP, but even threatens to kill them.
As a boss, you'd be going crazy.
'The identity of that boss must be someone affiliated with the Isekai Dating App.'
Of course, there was no evidence for even this speculation.
In the first place, thinking of the Isekai Dating App as a company was just my delusion.
Nevertheless, I decided to call the one who was scolding the rabbit woman Kim Manager. Establishing that title seemed like it would make it easier to sort out the situation later.
Besides, judging by what that useless rabbit was doing, it was difficult to give her more than a rank of employee.
No matter how I looked at it, she was a useless new employee.
"Th, then…?"
"What are you going to use to compensate for my mental damage that you caused with your threats?"
"Co, compensation…?"
The rabbit woman's pupils shook as if an earthquake had struck.
"…How about my lovely eye smile??"
"I don't need it."
I wouldn't need anything she did even if it was Iris or Cheon Yeohwa's eye smile.
"Then how about the shortest route to the boss on the third floor of this dungeon…?"
"The shortest route?"
"Yes! It's enough with a half-day? How's that??"
It was definitely a tempting reward.
In the first place, the reason I bought the 1,000 coin dice was because I wanted it to help me get to the third floor.
And it didn't seem like I could get anything else out of her even if I pushed her harder, and right now when time was of the essence, unnecessary arguments were unnecessary.
"Not bad…"
Ting-
Just as I was about to accept the rabbit woman's offer, a new screen appeared in front of me.
[On behalf of this app, we sincerely apologize for this rudeness.]
[Since we cannot easily say that we understand the humiliation you must have felt, we would like to offer you the maximum compensation we can offer first.]
[Compensation details: Ownership of Noel Ronnidella]
[Would you like to receive it?]
[Y/N]
What the fuck is this?
"Wh, what's wrong…?"
Noel felt an indescribable anxiety from Kang Hyunwoo, who was staring blankly into the air.
Without realizing it, her hands and feet were trembling.
"Hey, can you see this?"
"Yes?"
Kang Hyunwoo pointed to the screen, but Noel couldn't see anything in her field of vision.
"Well… I don't have the authority to see things related to the app."
"Is that so?"
Too bad, it would be faster to show you than to explain it.
Ting-
As soon as I thought that, the app immediately provided feedback.
[Would you like to share the screen with Noel Ronnidella?]
[Y/N]
For sending a useless newbie, they're quick to get things done.
Maybe Kim Manager is getting chewed out by his boss, too?
[Y]
[The screen is shared to Noel Ronnidella's view.]
I accepted right away because there was no reason to refuse.
"…Eh?"
There was no need to ask if she could see the screen, the rabbit woman's immediate reaction reached my ears.
Her eyes were filled with shock in an instant.
"Wh, what is…"
"Wow."
Thud- My arm was draped over the rabbit woman's shoulder.
Even so, the rabbit woman couldn't even resist.
"Look at that, it turns out there are things like this in the world?"
"Cu, customer… Yo, you're not going to accept it, right…?"
I could see something that seemed to be a mixture of anxiety, fear, and embarrassment beyond the rabbit woman's eyes as she tried to smile and looked up at me pitifully.
Only then was I able to confirm what I had been vaguely suspecting.
Noel Ronnidella, that's your name, right?
"Why wouldn't I?"
[Compensation details: Ownership of Noel Ronnidella]
[Would you like to receive it?]
[Y/N]
[Y]
[Ownership of Noel Ronnidella is engraved on Kang Hyunwoo's soul.]
[Noel Ronnidella is registered as Kang Hyunwoo's summon.]
"…"
The rabbit woman, no, Noel, stared at the screen with a dazed look.
Of course, that didn't mean that the already determined result would change.
"Then you should show respect to your master first, right?"
I whispered in Noel's ear.
"Bow your head."
