Chapter 65. Let's Have a Baby!
Chapter 65. Let's Have a Baby!
Travel preparations progressed rapidly under the command of Rita-ssi, the only one among us with long-distance travel experience.
She purchased a merchant-style covered wagon in Hush Village and hitched it to her black horse.
The horse snorted lightly and pulled the carriage with ease. After testing that it could comfortably carry both people and luggage, we set aside our worries about travel and camping.
"By the way, is this your horse, Rita-ssi? What's its name?"
"Hm? Ah, this one? A friend gifted it to me when I began my journey. Its name is... Raven."
"Oh... Someone who can gift such a magnificent horse must be incredibly wealthy."
"A kind soul. I'd like to introduce you someday, but our paths won't cross during this trip."
I wondered what kind of person Rita-ssi's acquaintance might be.
Frankly, given Rita-ssi's personality and mannerisms, she didn't seem like someone with many friends... Perhaps her acquaintance was of similar disposition.
Considering she uses honorifics, maybe they're a high-ranking noble? Becoming friends through this connection might yield various benefits.
Returning to preparations, our luggage consisted only of simple travel supplies, several days' worth of food, spare clothes, and personal belongings.
Following Rita-ssi's advice that excessive luggage would slow us down, we packed light, planning to acquire necessities from villages and cities along the way.
Cecilia was instructing devotees on church management protocols, while Camellia descended to Hush Village with her sister to practice magic and repair village wards.
The only one idling without work... was me?
"Why not do some training? We have time before departure. Through training, you can grow far stronger than you are now."
"Training... That's fine, but repeating yesterday's drills feels a bit..."
"Bored already? I understand. But emptying your mind to focus solely on training is mental discipline. You need to strengthen your fundamentals."
Though my stamina allowed endless sword swings, the mental exhaustion from hours of repetitive drills was overwhelming.
Rather than monotonous training, I wanted to try something else-perhaps practicing succubus magic like the children?
My Status Window listed my class as Sound Sorcerer, yet I knew nothing about magic, which bothered me.
My Skill Window only contained Hypnosis... Maybe practicing would unlock new skills.
I sat cross-legged on the grass, gathering Magic Power and Vital Energy in my palms.
A pink-tinged mass of crimson energy coalesced to fist-size. I naturally dispersed it, spread it out, then gathered it again, manipulating it fluidly.
But Rita-ssi, watching this, paled before collapsing beside me with trembling words:
"Triae...! What did you just do to me...?!"
"Huh? What did I do?"
"D-don't play dumb! My... my body's burning because of you!"
...Is this a new seduction technique?
Resisting the urge to pounce, I patiently listened while dispelling misunderstandings. According to her, when I began magic training, her body suddenly tingled and heated up. Within moments, her juices flowed as excitement overwhelmed her.
I realized the Vital Energy-infused magic I'd emitted had induced her heat. To fix this, I decided to retrieve the Vital Energy permeating her body.
"Rita-ssi, excuse me for a moment."
"...Eh? Wait, eek-"
Smooch~
Gently cupping Rita-ssi's cheek, I slowly pulled her in for a light kiss.
Though startled, she soon surrendered to desire, pleading with darting tongue for deeper kissing.
Proud of how accustomed she'd become to abandoning reason for lust, I skillfully obliged her demands.
Smooch♥ Slurp♥ Chup♥ Peck♥
"Pwah...♥ Such violent solutions-I can't resist you... Satisfied now...?"
"...What are you saying? You're the one who clung to me begging for kisses."
"...What? W-wasn't that kiss to relieve my excitement and fix me...?"
"It was to fix you-by retrieving my magic from your body."
Rita-ssi flushed crimson, attempting speech before hanging her head in resignation:
"...Right. I've changed too. Acting chaste like a maiden while secretly craving pleasure, egging you on with duplicity..."
Too ashamed to lift her head, yet a subtle smile played on her lips.
"...Still... I don't hate it. Though I've become what I once deemed evil, the newfound joy and happiness are so immense that I consider my corruption fortunate."
"Then I'll work harder. I'll addict you completely so you can never return."
"Yes... Having broken my own justice to devote body and soul to you, I await you shattering what remains of my principles."
Rita-ssi smiled while caressing her belly.
The child within symbolized her complete conquest-shackles binding her forever to me.
She gazed at those shackles with the world's most tender affection.
This heartwarming scene inexplicably provoked jealousy. I suddenly lifted the much taller Rita-ssi into my arms.
"Eeep, Triae?"
"Rita-ssi. Let's have the baby."
"Wh... what?"
"Let's deliver the baby, Rita-ssi. No time for training. Let's see our child's face."
"Suddenly saying that... What do you mean 'have the baby'?"
"Succubus babies grow faster and stronger with more Vital Energy during pregnancy. Let's pick today-have sex all night. We'll give birth before our journey."
"W-waiiiit...!!!"
Ignoring Rita-ssi's pitiful scream, I carried her toward the bedroom.
Though exhausted from last night's marathon, today's necessary exertion wouldn't be spared. Pleasure improves mood but doesn't erase fatigue.
Still, this was essential. I charged forward, envisioning our unborn child and Rita-ssi loving me above all else.
* * *
"Madness... After yesterday's marathon, she's going again?"
Even for lust-driven humans-let alone a corrupted succubus-this seemed excessive.
Iereph, Goddess of Love and Purity, pushed sweat-damp hair back while grumbling.
Watching Triae's sticky entanglement with Rita, she recalled last night's orgy with her vassals.
Watching Triae take her wives in turn-even treating her daughter as a woman-was spectacular.
Though the second daughter participated, she merely suckled her mother's breast and touched herself without losing her virginity.
Perhaps she wants to offer her maidenhood in a more intimate setting...
"...Honestly, why am I intently watching a succubus and her vassals fuck?"
Iereph's daily life had changed dramatically lately.
Her routine-listening to prayers, occasionally granting Oracles to her Saintess, mostly fucking gods or subordinate angels-was shattered by Triae's emergence.
Now Iereph spent entire days watching Triae, skipping her beloved sex to observe the mortal.
When Triae did lewd things, Iereph voyeuristically masturbated. When Triae enjoyed family happiness, Iereph felt inexplicable satisfaction.
Perhaps the goddess envied mortal life she'd never experience.
"Still, her energy overflows. Truly..."
In moments, Rita's belly swelled with Triae's third ejaculation filling her womb before Vital Energy absorption deflated it.
Iereph had an epiphany. Despite acting like a typical pleasure-seeking succubus, Triae didn't casually offer her body.
Only when needing Vital Energy, strength, or easy solutions through seduction.
With non-family, Triae sought only pleasure and energy-no consideration for partners.
But with family, she prioritized mutual pleasure and care.
Thus, Triae's driving force was...
"...'Family'?"
Having grown up parentless, did Triae cling obsessively to her newfound family?
Confusing familial and romantic love, she gave both to her vassals... Whatever the reason, Iereph found it intriguing.
"...An amusing thought occurs."
What if Triae encountered her "real family"?
Iereph grinned wickedly as she contacted her Saintess.
