Chapter 41 – Turning Crisis Into Opportunity – 1
If you think about it, there were signs.
I attacked a hard golem and even lost my teeth when attacked by a huge wolf.
But I never thought the sword would break at this exact moment.
The succubus was smiling and looking at me, who had lost her weapon.
“What do you want to do?”
Considering what she showed, she is not something that can be dealt with a broken sword.
I can’t guarantee that I can win even if I’m in the best condition, but if I fight now, I’m sure I’ll lose.
Damn…
Let’s take some time for now.
“Can I reconsider the suggestion I made earlier?”
The succubus’ smile deepens.
She chuckled and sat down in her chair, crossing her legs.
“Foot… Yeah. “I’ll take a look at anything particularly cocky.”
I really appreciate that.
For now, I have no choice but to pretend to join hands with this guy and wait for the situation to unfold.
“I definitely said I needed someone to do the work for me.”
“That’s right. The guy that was there before was so incompetent. I was so frustrated that I was killing myself without even realizing it.”
“It’s good to be honest.”
The being in front of her had no intention of hiding her true feelings.
The mindset that if I refuse, I can just find someone else.
“So what are you trying to get me to do?”
“It’s not that difficult to ask you a favor. “
“If you always say that, it’s annoying and tricky.”
“Do you think I’m on the same level as the humans you think of?”
Well… I think it’s worse when you see them mercilessly murdering their subordinates for being incompetent.
They’re not humans, so they have a different way of thinking than us.
“Then let’s take a listen.”
“It’s really no big deal. All you have to do is fight on the same side as us. “You are quite strong, so it will be a useful force.”
It means to use combat power.
That’s the most I can do.
But more than that, we…?
“Us? “It only sounds like there’s someone else besides you.”
“Do you want to hear it? “Once you hear it, there will be no turning back.”
Her eyes become sharper.
Just receiving that gaze makes me break into a cold sweat.
“If you already refuse, you don’t plan on letting me live, do you? Since we’re all on the same boat anyway, wouldn’t it be more convenient to keep it safe?”
“Kkkk···”
The sound of laughter that makes you feel uneasy stimulates your ears.
The succubus, who had been laughing for a while, got up from the chair and approached with great strides.
“It seems I have eyes to see.”
She came right in front
Her nervousness subsides at the sweet yet disturbing scent.
As I added a voluptuous body, my instincts were stimulated, and dark thoughts came to mind.
Of course, a succubus.
It almost feels as if the ominous and creepy feeling that had enveloped my body just a moment ago was an illusion.
The more I try to control my mind and body, the more I feel forced to become comfortable.
Is this the temptation of the succubus I only heard about?
It wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t fight, but I couldn’t help but feel relaxed as the tension in my body and mind eased.
“Please let me know that we are on the same side now.”
“Okay. “I came under orders from someone to take over this country.”
“Who is this?”
“We are called by many names, but the most common and familiar name to you is ‘Demon King’?”
Demon King.
An entity similar to the final boss of a villain in legends or fairy tales.
There are many types of demon lords, but most of them are the enemies of the hero who are portrayed as strong and evil.
“It’s an unexpected name.”
“People may only think he is a being in stories, but he is real.”
Things are getting more and more complicated.
This means that simply defeating her is not the end.
If we make a short guess, it is very likely that the demon lord is stronger than I.
“Good. “I will fight on the devil’s side.”
“Oh. I feel confident already. If you stand on our side, the Demon King will give you a powerful weapon instead of a flimsy sword.”
A succubus that presses close to you with seductive movements.
The sweet yet strong body odor automatically puts you in a better mood, regardless of your will.
She gently held the broken sword.
Gurgling-
It melts like black slime and flows down to the floor.
Perhaps this is a warning sign.
This probably means that if you betray, you can be easily punished.
A sword that has become a mushy liquid.
It was a strange feeling that even though I thought it was creepy in my head, my mind and body didn’t feel that way at all.
A carefree sense that it feels like it’s someone else’s work.
I barely manage to come to my senses and open my mouth.
“Before that…”
“…?”
“Didn’t you say that if we were on the same side, you would do anything?”
The succubus smiled lustfully and softly whispered in my ear.
“Of course. Just say it. I’ll listen to anything. Even if it is called a taboo among humans. Or money? Power?”
Sweet whisper.
With so many factors mixed together, it was literally the devil’s whisper.
Unless you are a very strong-willed man, you will easily be fooled.
“I’m not really interested in money or power.”
“Then a woman? Just say the word and I will instantly make the daughter of any noble family your slave.”
What I can do in the current situation.
What I do best.
“It’s similar, but what I want is a little different.”
For the first time, she made a puzzled expression.
Will this really work?
No… I have no choice but to do it.
“It won’t be a bad story for you either. “What I want is you.”
The succubus’ expression changes from her puzzlement to surprise.
“That’s surprising.”
“I guess it’s not that difficult of a request. Even though it is inefficient, regular absorption is possible? “If you can’t listen to the succubus topic to this extent, then find someone else.”
He comes out strong with his own bravado.
At the same time, as if scratching her pride had had an effect, she hesitated for a moment and then opened her mouth.
“Good. I’ll listen to that much. Instead, you will have to show your skills later when an all-out war breaks out with humans.”
“If I could hold a beautiful woman like you in my arms, that would be the extent of it.”
Good. It worked so far.
If she can be brought to her peak, if not completely defeated, her strong power gained through her characteristics may be her breakthrough.
“And I have one last question to ask you.”
“Tell me.”
The most important thing is the concept of regularity.
It would be difficult if the ability of the succubus, energy absorption, was to suck up the power I had.
There may be a difference in efficiency, but the stronger you become, the more she will take it back.
“If you absorb energy, you won’t become weaker or anything, right?”
“That doesn’t happen. If I had done that in the first place, I would have been randomly absorbing men’s energy. If I were to compare it, it would be like the concept of a potion.”
Is it fortunate among misfortunes?
At least I don’t think she’ll get stronger.
“Good. Then will I be able to receive compensation right away?”
“I was already in need of energy to transform again. It would be fun to try absorbing vital energy in this way.”
It’s strange to say something.
Could it be that you have no experience?
“Are you sure you’ve never had sex with a man?”
“I told you. The succubus that absorbed vital energy so inefficiently became extinct hundreds of years ago. The fastest way is to absorb energy through dreams.”
The corners of the mouth naturally rise.
I thought something big had happened, but surprisingly, things turned out interestingly.
“What is that expression? A little arrogant.”
“I’m sorry.”
“A succubus is naturally superior, so it would be better to be prepared.”
She was frowning and glaring.
A look of light protest.
But it just felt arrogant to me.
Something I did countless times after coming to this world.
I can’t believe I’m rushing into the field I’m most confident in and like.
The smile gets deeper, and I can’t control it.
People often compare succubi to demons or devils, right?
Who will win if I face off against something of mine that has demonic characteristics?
My heart swells with confidence and anticipation.
“Be prepared… Okay. “I’ll let you enjoy it more than you think.”
The succubus lay down on the bed, moving her steps in a seductive manner.
Mesmerizing posture and eyes.
It is an obvious provocation to anyone.
“The room has been isolated with magic, so don’t hesitate and enjoy it to your heart’s content. “If I don’t have enough energy, I might go out to collect it midway.”
Her tone of voice seems to be looking down on her.
It’s unfortunate for her, but she won’t be leaving this room in the middle of it.
Because I will never let you go.
Maybe we’ll break the record for longest sex.
“Try not to do that. Instead, you will have to hang out with me until I say I am satisfied.”
“I hope you don’t give up halfway through.”
Did they say that a crisis is another opportunity?
In the past, I thought it was bullshit, but there are extremely rare cases where it’s true.
Just like a broken clock is right twice a day.
My heart was already full of the spirit of challenge.
I will make sure to make this cocky succubus struggle with pleasure.
“Before we get involved, I’d like to hear your name. Even if it’s a succubus, it has a name, right?”
“Call me Lilith. Normally, you should treat me with respect as your superior, but considering your uniqueness, I will give you special attention.”
“Thank you for that.”
Prepare yourself, Lilith.
I climbed onto the bed, guided by my boiling heart.
