Episode 51. The Sword and the Sheath
Episode 51. The Sword and the Sheath
"Have you calmed down a bit?"
"Yes... *sniff*... I'm sorry for startling you..."
"...Rita-ssi doesn't need to apologize. It was my fault."
Once Rita-ssi's tears stopped and her emotions settled slightly, she forgave me with a generous heart.
Naked with only a blanket covering us, Rita-ssi and I began sharing our deepest thoughts and feelings.
"As you saw... I can only judge people by their outward appearance."
When I looked at her with a face that seemed to say 'Is that so?', she nodded and continued.
"I never had proper friends growing up. With no parents and being this kind of species... I couldn't get along well with other human children. My social skills were lacking compared to others."
My gaze unintentionally fell upon Rita-ssi's tail.
A dragon tail dotted with scales here and there. Just because she had this one thing others didn't, Rita-ssi must have faced subtle discrimination throughout her life.
To me, it was just one of Rita-ssi's charming traits, but if I'd met her before becoming a succubus... would I have kept my distance too?
"Because of that, I'm not good at reading people's true intentions either. People often said I was oblivious, and during my adventures I was cheated and betrayed many times."
"What? How dare anyone do that to Rita-ssi...!"
"There's no need to be so angry. I made sure they all paid the price."
I truly hope those bastards who wronged Rita-ssi got what they deserved. How dare they!
"Even now with more experience and better social skills, understanding people's hearts remains difficult for me. To be honest... the reason I started viewing you positively was also... because of your appearance."
"My... appearance?"
"It's embarrassing to admit but... yes. The moment I first saw you, my heart raced and affection for you bloomed like a spring. I guess you could say I fell in love at first sight."
"Wait, then was that why you left so suddenly back then..."
"...My face kept turning red and I was too embarrassed to look at you."
Ah, seriously. It's so hard to resist her when she says adorable things like this.
Unaware of my thoughts, Rita-ssi continued with a small smile.
"I only see what's visible. I only hear what's audible. What I consider good is good, what I consider evil is evil. That's how I've lived. But..."
After a brief pause, she spoke in a shy voice with flushed cheeks.
"Even after clearly defining you as evil in that earlier situation... my feelings for you didn't disappear. Rather, I even wished to become evil alongside you."
Rita-ssi took my hand and brought it to her chest.
The soft sensation of her breasts combined with the intense throbbing of Rita-ssi's heartbeat transmitted through my palm.
Restrained yet irregular breathing. Ears burning bright red in contrast to slightly flushed cheeks. Pupils trembling slightly from tension.
Ah, I see.
Even without my little act earlier, this person was already falling in love with me.
"...As I said before, I only see what's visible and hear what's audible. So tell me."
Rita's eyes met mine.
Eyes speaking nothing but complete sincerity without a trace of hesitation.
"Do you... feel the same way about me?"
I'm not particularly smart or eloquent.
Though I usually express myself through actions rather than words, at this moment my mouth moved before my body.
Because Rita wanted me to say it-
"I love you. Rita."
"..."
"No, that's not right... 'I too' love you. Rita Karyen."
After those words, we wordlessly moved toward each other as if following a promise.
Our blood-red hot lips met, tongues moving like tentacles as if trying to devour each other.
When I let thick, sweet saliva flow into her mouth, Rita gulped it down her throat, showing she was completely ready to accept me.
Soon our breaths synchronized and seemingly inseparable knots came undone. We gazed at each other with completely melted, ecstatic eyes.
"Mmm... ah...♥"
Still seemingly lost in the afterglow, Rita rolled her tongue around her mouth, as if trying to recreate the sensation of just a moment ago.
Well, this was Rita's first kiss after all — it's only natural she'd get a little lost in the feeling.
"...Ah, *ahem*."
Noticing my gaze, Rita retracted her tongue, cleared her throat, and straightened her posture into a proper sitting position.
"Anyway, with this... I've crossed a river of no return."
"Do you regret it?"
"...No, I couldn't be more satisfied. To the point where all the values I've pursued until now feel insignificant."
Like a knight's oath from storybooks, she knelt on one knee facing me, took my hand, kissed its back, and declared:
"I, Rita Karyen... pledge my body, heart, and even soul to spend eternity as your companion and vassal...♥"
As Rita made this declaration, her lower abdomen's Lewd Crest glowed intensely. Multiple status windows appeared before my eyes accompanied by a familiar notification sound.
It was the notification that Rita, whom I'd been pursuing for so long, had finally fallen as my vassal.
*Ding!*

Succubus Queen's Second Consort... That's an impressive position change. Does that mean Cecilia became the First Consort?
Rita, who was already strong, saw massive increases in both level and stats after becoming my vassal.
From my experience, increasing stats beyond 100 requires tremendous effort and time... So just how powerful is Rita now?
I'm curious about her skills too, but I'll check the power boost later.
Right now, tending to Rita takes priority.
"Aah...♥ So now... I'm connected to you...♥"
"Rita, I'm getting..."
"...Right. It's getting hard to hold back."
With the completion of Rita's 『Familiar Brand』 forming a master-servant bond through our souls, we could faintly sense each other's desires through our connected souls.
Feeling what I, her master, wanted, Rita shyly but with barely concealed anticipation spread her legs and said:
"Please... enjoy the virginity I've preserved just for you... my Master...♥"
"...Ritaaaaa!!!"
*Whoosh!*
I threw myself into Rita's embrace and pounced on her.
The desires I'd suppressed while training her intertwined with the emotions flowing from her, returning as even more intense impulses.
My fully erect cock, which had somehow grown to extreme size, pressed against Rita's lower abdomen.
Sexually aroused beyond reason, I rubbed my cock against her belly as if her navel were her pussy, grinding my hips against her.
"Rita...!♥ Rita, Rita...♥ Ugh...♥ Ritaaa...♥"
"Ughh...♥ That's not where you put your cock...♥ Honestly, are you so excited you've forgotten how to insert it properly...?♥"
"Uggghhh...! Why, why won't it go in...! Pussy, Rita's virgin pussy...!!"
Completely losing my mind, I stubbornly tried forcing my cock into the wrong place.
How embarrassing. Ridiculous that a succubus who feeds on vital energy can't even manage proper insertion.
As I threw a tantrum during our struggle, Rita gently grasped my cock and said:
"Triae, calm down."
"Ugh... ughhh... Rita..."
"Whether it's a sword or a cock, you shouldn't swing it recklessly. Follow my breathing and start slowly from the basics."
Saying this, she changed positions.
As I lay on the bed and she mounted me in cowgirl position, Rita's perfectly proportioned body captured my gaze completely.
Rita rubbed the glans against her slit and spoke in a voice laced with tension but trying to sound calm:
"I'll be your sheath for now. So... be gentle with me. After that... you can go wild as much as you want...♥"
Rita's hips began slowly lowering.
