Episode 35. 2.1 Points Pyeondol (1)
“Isn’t that because you drank too much?”
“I guess so? Anyway, so I was left alone, and people started talking to me here and there… So I ran away… And…”
As he stopped talking and met my eyes, his face, which had been filled with an expression of resentment, began to turn red like a carrot.
This makes sense. In short, it’s like saying, ‘I went to that club and just sat there,’ which is embarrassing enough…
… Of course, this is if the person listening has experience going to a club. If it were me, I wouldn’t have been able to sit down. Whether it was a bathroom or a motel, I would have been banging on the locked door and crying and begging, saying, “Seniors, I know you’re busy, but please let me go home!”
By the way, what crime did this succubus commit to be dragged around by her coworkers on the weekend? When I asked, she started by telling me her story.
“That’s… That’s what the boss said. If you want to know about love, wouldn’t it be right to first try dating?”
“That’s what happened.”
“So, I wanted to try it? Dating. But, I just didn’t know how to start….”
I think that everything in the world has a cause and effect, and love is no exception. Beginning, development, crisis, climax, conclusion.
And this succubus seemed to have been blocked from the start. After a brief consultation with me, I spent several days thinking about it, but since I couldn’t figure it out, I decided to ask my seniors at work…
“Then, he told me to set aside some time this weekend. So I did, and when I went with my seniors in the evening… this is what happened…”
He even shuddered in the middle of speaking. It seems that the experience was quite unpleasant.
“Well, aside from dragging the club along, haven’t you heard any solid advice?”
“Let’s go to a motel first. Then love will naturally come to you or something.”
“Ugh.”
If love is war, then these authors, who are seniors at work, seem to have fighting power similar to that of a Gundam. This succubus seems to have the power of a Zaku.
“But, I can’t bring myself to do that….”
I could never do that if I were told to. I answered with a sense of empathy.
“I think I said this before, but if you don’t want to do it, then you shouldn’t do it, right? Forcing someone to do something isn’t love. It’s torture.”
“Right…?”
The succubus shyly chimed in, as if she was happy that I sympathized with her. Talking about the club any more seemed like it would only bring up painful memories, so she changed the subject.
“Have you really heard anything else?”
“Uh… Ah. One of my seniors suggested that I try this.”
As he spoke, he took out his smartphone, played with it for a moment, and then held the screen out to me. When I looked at it, a logo of a winged little boy shooting an arrow appeared.
Let’s wait a moment. The loading bar below filled up and the screen changed. At first, I wondered what this was, but as I kept looking, something came to mind.
“Sir, is this a blind date app?”
“Yes. What do you think, sir?”
It wasn’t that great.
This is it. You upload your face and address, and it gives you a score and then matches you with people with similar scores.
I know a few similar apps in my world, and I’ve even tried to sign up for them. That’s because I lost in a drinking game with my friends.
Of course, I didn’t succeed. They wouldn’t even let me join because my appearance score was 2.1. If this were a college credit, I would seriously consider retaking the course. But what should I do if I want to retake the course? Should I go to Uncle Jam and ask him to change my face?
For this reason, I was negative about dating apps, but when it comes to actually rejecting them, this is ambiguous. Except for this app, I can’t think of anything to talk about related to relationships.
Also, this succubus’ face was about 30,000 light years away from Hakgo’s… .
“I don’t think so… but it’s not like you can win without losing. Give it a try.”
“Okay, I’ll try. Then first, let’s take a look at the photos…”
As she spoke, the succubus held out her smartphone again.
“Sir, may I ask you a favor?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to just take a selfie? I think it’ll look better that way.”
“Well, I’m not good at taking selfies… .”
I can’t take pictures at all. I wonder if I’ve ever taken a picture of myself, except for ID photos. But I think no matter how you take a picture of this succubus, it’ll come out pretty good…
I don’t know. I guess I’ll just take pictures wherever my hand goes. After manipulating my smartphone and aiming the camera, the succubus on the screen has a nervous expression.
“Why are you so nervous? This isn’t even an interview photo shoot.”
“That’s because I came out today with almost no makeup on… Are you feeling okay now?”
When he asked if I was okay, I spoke as my mind went wild.
“You are pretty.”
“Yes, pretty… Yes?”
I was thinking of adding three or four prefixes, but I left them out.
This succubus came back with some pancake batter on her chin while she was overbiting, and her eyes were wide open from drinking, but both times her appearance was the same. This is an objective impression.
And the third time, now, is twice as good as the first two. I said it again.
“You’re pretty. Objectively. So don’t be nervous and smile a little.”
“… Hey, that’s a joke… .”
“I don’t joke with faces. Get your bearings, cheese.”
“… Really?”
“Well, I told you to laugh?”
“Cheese.”
As we waited with the camera focused, the succubus, who had been feeling shy for a while, took an awkward stance and looked at the camera with a nervous expression.
His face was red, as if he wasn’t used to compliments, but I don’t think the app developer would have included something like that as a deduction.
Click.
I took a picture and checked the condition, and although it looks like an ID photo, it came out pretty well. If I set it as my smartphone background, I think people will tease me saying, “Isn’t this an anime profile picture?”
Let’s hand it over, the succubus asked me.
“Excuse me, boss.”
“why.”
“Do you think I’m… really pretty, sir?”
In my eyes as a human from another world, she looks like that, but if you ask me if she’s objectively pretty, I’m not sure. In the succubus society, this succubus’ appearance could be average.

“I told you, I don’t lie with my face, sir.”
“Yeah…yes. I’ll believe you.”
“But don’t just take my word for it. It’ll be more accurate once you see the results.”
Even though I gave him the answer three times, he still looked unsure, but he glanced at my face and slowly manipulated his smartphone. So, what was the result?
4.9 out of 5.
“Uh… Is this like a karaoke score?”
“You said you had a karaoke score, why are you suddenly trying to deceive me?”
One of the convenience store regulars turned out to be the prettiest girl in the city. Oh my.
On the other hand, I wasn’t feeling so good because I was the one who got a 2.1 on a similar app before. This Earth writer, look at him eating sweet potatoes because he can’t get off!
Plus, I can see that this succubus is not confident about her appearance. Is it because she has never been in a relationship?
But this in itself wasn’t a big problem. Anyway, once you start dating, isn’t this a problem that will be solved? If the person you’re dating says to you that you’re pretty, you’ll feel confident even if you don’t like it.
“Deception… .”
“If I talk about it, I’ll get even more depressed, so let’s just get on with it. What do you want to do next?”
“Umm… First, it asks me to choose a tag.”
As we looked at the screen the succubus had handed us, there were dozens of tags lined up in a row.
Maybe it’s because this is an other-worldly app, but the tags are a bit different from what I expected: #horns, #demon-like appearance, #over 2m tall… What’s 2m, why are you looking for a basketball team prospect here?
“Is this a normal app?”
“My senior said that, but honestly, I don’t know either.”
“… Then try pressing this. This looks like an automatic search button.”
There is something special to the right of the tag search button. When the succubus nodded and pressed the button, a picture appeared, and after looking at it, she was very dumbfounded.
“Oh, it’s here. Sir, what does this incubus look like?”
“… … .”
“president?”
“uh….”
Incubus? Is this blond, tanned punk an incubus?
This is what this guy looked like. Slit eyes, blonde hair that looked like it had been dyed, and skin that was so shiny it looked like it had been filled with lubricant. Are you a VIP customer at a massage parlor? Huh?
In addition, the appearance of the animal with its sharp protrusions on the side of its mouth was such that it could be called an ecosystem destroyer, but I couldn’t believe it even after seeing it, so I stared at the photo intently, and then something else came to mind.
A selfie that looks like it was taken while out on the beach. The arm that is covered is bent. This means that the photo was taken while linking arms with someone else.
“president?”
“What do you think of this incubus, sir?”
“yes.”
For some reason, if a person I know were dating someone who looked like this, I would probably break their legs to stop them.
“Uh… why?”
It’s like that on the internet? But I don’t think that’s the right answer, so I thought about it for a while and finally came up with a plausible answer.
“Sir, I, uh, have some knowledge of physiognomy.”
“Wow, really?”
“A little bit. And physiognomically, this gold-colored incubus… is definitely not the type of physiognomy that would fit in with a guest. It’s a physiognomy that is ten thousand light years away from true love.”
However, the succubus looked quite uneasy.
“But it’s a bit much to judge someone based solely on their appearance….”
If you look at it that way, I’m not a 2.1 point person either.
But ethically speaking, it didn’t seem entirely wrong, so I told him to scroll down a bit. This guy could be surprisingly innocent. Even though he’s blond and tanned…
As the succubus lowered the screen slightly, this time the name of the thing appeared.
[Entir]
“No, how is that person’s name…?”
“Are you a person?”
“No. Not a person, but… Sir, listen to me anyway. I have some knowledge of fortune telling, but even from a name perspective, this guy is really not it. I’m not joking.”
“Is that so? I think it’s okay because the name is cool.”
“This is it?”
“Yes. It means ‘pure love’ in ancient language. I majored in ancient language as a second foreign language.”
I don’t know if it’s an ancient language or a modern language, but anyway, this won’t work, right?
When I looked back at the screen with a frustrated heart, the slide had moved down a bit and an introduction had appeared.
[Wow~~Oops!! I didn’t know there was an app like this ww Oresama Cho-Lucky★ I’ll make any other race Cho♡ fluffy, so just leave it to me ww]
He snatched the smartphone, manipulated the screen, and then gave it back.
“Oh. I haven’t seen it all yet. What did the introduction say?”
“Instead of guaranteeing, I prefer a race that gives a gift.”
“Uh, that’s a bit… .”
