The seventh chapter of the Kyakkou manga, which covers Chapter 5 in Volume 1 of the light novels.
Summary[]
Dust gives advice to the Loli Succubus on how men also like bashfulness in addition to revealing attire at the front of the general store, to which the owner chides Dust for conning another young girl. The Loli Succubus then comments on the two men trading barbs as being friendly, a claim both of them deny. After the owner goes back into the store, the Loli Succubus elucidates the reason the Succubus Cafe remained closed for the past few days was because of a female organisation called the Association for Protecting Women's Chances of Marriage. As Dust whom the Loli Succubus seeks aid from wonders in bafflement, she proceeds to explain how the Cafe fulfilled the sexual needs of men and thus reduced their need of women, making the women still unmarried at a ripe age disgruntled to the point they banded together into a secret organisation unknown to men, which lately became suspicious of the Cafe. Upon hearing that the police under pressure from the Association will be searching the Cafe on the following day, Dust suggests the Succubi seduce the top officials, only to be told about the search being led by Sena who is also the Association's chairwoman. Asked by the Loli Succubus for any ideas to deal with Sena's magical bell capable of detecting lies, Dust requests a reward from the Cafe, and settles for the Loli Succubus' offer of free services for a week.
On the day of the search, at Dust's suggestion the Cafe posed as a fortune telling operation that does consulting for men, with Dust and a nobleman who covers his face with the helmet he had previously sold being the only customers present. Dust despite not liking nobles still accepts the aid of the Helmet Guy who possesses a magic item capable of disrupting the magical bell, though he cannot help feeling uncomfortable at the way the Helmet Guy, whose specifics the Loli Succubus says not to look into, keeps staring at him.
Sena soon bursts into the Cafe followed by a troupe of policewomen, many of whom are also Association members, with Dust noticing one of them with big boobs looking familiar. As Sena frets over the lack of evidence discovered, the busty policewoman asserts how she is certain the adventurers use the Cafe's services, before both of them notice Dust. Claiming that the Cafe is for listening to men's troubles as well as confirming Sena's inquiries of it being a fortune telling operation, Dust makes a jab at them by saying that he feels more comfortable chatting with the women at the Cafe than those bullish women who usually surround him. But when Sena reveals her suspicion of the Cafe involved in sex operations, the busty policewoman points out how it doesn't make sense for Dust to tell women of his weak side. The piqued Dust thus retorts by calling the skeptical women unpopular with men, only to invite the wrath of all policewomen, and immediately cajoles Sena with a flattering apology.
Dust proceeds to tell Sena that most of the other male adventurers in the town are gay, citing Kazuma's lack of movement towards his beautiful party members as an example, which causes Sena to reveal her fascination with yaoi. The prosecutor then asks the customers to prove Dust's claim through questioning before the magical bell, and accepts the Loli Succubus' planned proposal to have the Helmet Guy interviewed alongside Dust. After some questions regarding which sex the men like, Sena according to the magical bell's response is convinced of Dust liking women while the Helmet Guy likes a man. As a final check, Sena anticipatedly asks the Helmet Guy to prove himself as really liking men. Dust who thinks the Helmet Guy's skills at acting gay are superb thus tells him to put on an act, only to be shocked when the Helmet Guy really gropes him.
