After spending some delightful time with Pomi in the bathroom, a short while later.
"Bad bastard, sneaky bastard."
I was kneeling naked in front of the bathroom door.
"Mia, dry yourself off first before we talk. You're gonna catch a cold like this."
Pomi, who had been clinging to me without any intention of getting up.
I slipped my hands under her armpits, scooped her up, and carried her out. The moment we emerged, she snapped to her senses and started glaring at me, calling me a bad guy and a sneaky one.
"You enjoyed it in the end too. You even swallowed all my cum without me telling you to..."
Even as a virgin, a succubus was truly a succubus.
Despite it being her first time getting fingered, she'd gulped down my semen without a second thought and made that ecstatic face. I could still picture it vividly.
"What? Y-You, you bad guy!"
"Let's not fight like this. We can get along nicely, maybe even caress each other from time to time. Huh? We're partners, right? It was good today, wasn't it? Once you're recovered, I'll work hard to satisfy you without needing Essence Absorption. Okay?"
Last night, I'd felt a massive sense of betrayal realizing her pure, innocent act was all fake. But in the end, I'd gained incredible abilities and lost my virginity too.
And thinking it over, her true self was so pretty that her snippy attitude didn't even bother me much.
She was small, which made her a bit risky in some ways, but it was legal.
Her foul mouth was an issue, but bickering with her was actually kind of fun.
What was this? Did I have an M streak in my own sexual preferences?
"Ughhh... No more than this, absolutely not."
Though it was because of the skill, the fact that she'd felt pleasure clearly infuriated her. Tears welled up in the eyes of the girl glaring at me.
"Ah, come on... Honestly, you didn't use Spiritualization because it felt good, right?"
"...Huh? ...Ah!"
When I pressed her on how she could've dodged the caresses with Spiritualization, she let out a flustered noise.
'What's this? Did she seriously forget about Spiritualization?'
And sure enough, she muttered in a deflated tone.
"Y-Yeah, that's right..."
...Fuck. Shouldn't have said anything.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ The next day was Sunday, a day I had work.
"Heh, heh heh."
I opened my eyes to that Binggu-like chuckle and saw Pomi rolling around at my feet, reading webtoons on my phone.
This girl was suspicious no matter how I looked at her.
The way she handled the phone was definitely not that of a first-timer.
"Oh? Jun-young, you're up?"
Just a day ago, at 30 years old, I'd finally had sex for the first time in my life and even tried a 69.
Maybe from using muscles I hadn't touched before, my body felt sore all over as I twisted around. Seeing that, Pomi crawled over clumsily and plastered herself on top of me.
After the bathroom incident, she'd sulked until evening, but she finally cheered up after I treated her to a delicious dinner.
But that alone didn't explain why she was now draped over me like a blanket.
"Jun-young, buy me that ice cream from yesterday."
"Hey, it's morning. I have work today, so I'll grab some on the way back."
"Today, I wanna pick it!"
That's right. The source of this clinginess was the ass-kissing Haagen-Dazs ice cream I'd secretly bought from the convenience store under the pretense of taking out the trash after dinner!
Watching her grin and shovel down 20,000 won's worth with a spoon made me think, Ah, this is how dads turn into doting fools.
Of course, since she was actually an adult, we'd gone ahead and done all sorts of things.
I got up and started making breakfast.
Too lazy for anything fancy, I fried some eggs, put them on rice, and drizzled sesame oil and soy sauce. She devoured it.
Nothing special went into it, but damn, it was tasty.
According to Pomi, she wouldn't starve or die without eating, but as a demon, she especially loved good food.
The girl who was wolfing down the egg-soy-rice with rice grains stuck to her mouth asked cutely.
"So what do you do for work, Jun-young? It's Sunday, and you're heading out?"
"Work at a restaurant. Sundays through Thursdays."
"You're not serving, right?"
This bitch!
The place I worked was a restaurant-slash-pub near Mangwon Station.
"...I work in the kitchen."
Nom nom. Clink.
"Oh yeah! One of your talents is [Cooking], right? That's why your food's so good! ...Huh? Then where'd you go last Friday? No work that day."
She was talking about that Friday night when we first met.
"Hey, can't I go out on my days off?"
"Jun-young, don't you have no friends? I figured 'cause you're ugly..."
Canceled. This girl wasn't cute at all.
I told her about fleeing the interview that Friday.
"Pfft! You're seriously crazy, huh? I could tell since yesterday!"
"You're no slouch in the crazy department either."
"But thanks to blowing that interview, we met!"
'Does it really work out like that?'
Life really was unpredictable.
I cleared the empty bowls, and with Pomi in Spiritualization, we left the house.
As I went to board the bus, Pomi whispered in my ear.
-Takes long?
-Nah? About 15 minutes?
-Walk it?
-Never tried, but it'd make me late anyway.
-Then walk back after work.
-Huh? Why?
She smacked the back of my head in her Spiritualized state.
No sensation at all.
-Hey! You gonna collect points or not? What else you gonna do commuting to work? Work it, slacker. Pull in as much as you can while you can!
-You... Be honest. This isn't your first time in the human world, is it?
-Whiiistle!
She tried to whistle.
Of course, no sound came out.
-I'll use my 'eyes' like yesterday to spot people with weird kinks and sexual fantasies, so just use Essence Absorption on them.
-Sigh... Can't I just do it on the bus?
-Where you gonna use Invisibility? And it's crowded. You okay in tight spaces?
She had a point.
I had to worry not just about targets but surrounding stares and bumping into people, so unless it was spacious like a bus, things could get chaotic.
-Fine, I'll walk back using Invisibility.
-Don't forget the ice cream on the way!
-Got it, you little gremlin.
Even whispering on the bus made the trip feel way faster than usual.
-This stop is Mangwon Market, Mangwon-dong World Cup Market Entrance. Next is Mapo-gu Office Station Entrance.
Short walk after getting off, and my workplace came into view.
-There, that place.
-Loveism?
-Yeah. Weird name, huh? Owner's got the surname Yeon and loves booze, so that's part of it. Other meaning's like 'love-ism' or 'dating-ism.' Confusing name meant to be noise marketing, he says.
My chat with Pomi cut off as someone approached.
"Hyung, you're here."
I turned toward the voice and saw a young guy emerging from the alley beside the shop.
I smiled and greeted back.
"Yeah. Saw you Thursday, been a bit."
"Yep. Whew..."
Perfunctory greeting maybe—he replied vaguely, looked away from me, and went back to puffing his cigarette.
-Who's that?
-Huh Bong-gwan, works the floor. Muscles and scowl say it all: rude macho type. Five years younger than me, talks curt even though we're not close. Feels like I'd lose a fight, so I put up with it.
-Learn more skills later and put him in his place.
-Ooh? Since when you on my side?
-Jun-young's mine to bully alone!
-...
I passed Huh Bong-gwan and entered the shop, spotting two women wiping tables.
A tall, slender beauty and a chatty one stuck to her like glue.
"Hi, oppa."
"Bong-gwan's out there too, and you guys are early for the floor."
I replied to the tall woman who bowed her head.
The girl beside her just nodded curtly and looked away.
-That guy earlier too, employees are all good-looking? ...Except Jun-young?
-Don't rub it in. Boss hooked up customers once, tied into the shop name, turned it into a Mangwon hotspot. Now hires floor staff based on looks. Plenty come just to gawk at them.
-Oho, oho... Jun-young, use your skill. These girls got weird kinks too?
-No way? Alright, [Status]!

"If that bastard had even one companion back then... I probably would have..." That's right. After much deliberation, the skill Mia and I chose was [Target Status Reveal, R].
Pomi's 'Succubus Eyes' could spot fetishes, sexual fantasies, virginity, and such, but not levels or stats.
Plus, you needed this skill to check random quests from targets.
Low chance of quests popping up, but clearing them doubled EXP and sometimes gave special rewards. Better to learn it ASAP.
Me and Pomi both nearly passed out reading Min Hyo-min's stats.
-Gasp!
-F-Forty-one! Jun-young, she's level 41! You're 19, and she's 41!
'Stop emphasizing my 19...'
"...Why are you staring like that, oppa?"
I was gawking at Min Hyo-min like she was a monster, so she asked curiously.
"Huh? Oh, nothing. Have a good shift."
I didn't even check Shin Ji-ah's stats next to her before fleeing the floor like my life depended on it.
-We didn't see that wrong, right?
-Level 41... And remember? Not intelligence—strength and agility are sky-high! For a woman, those stats scream genius.
-Whoa... No wonder Difficulty: Hard. Martial Arts talent too. Better not mess with her.
I could win with Invisibility and a backstab, but no grudge to justify it.
She had a body odor fetish, so I'd hit her up after learning scent-related skills.
Oddly, even though I hadn't thought about it till morning, I suddenly got curious about Pomi's stats.
-Pomi, can I check your stats?
-Huh? No way! Embarrassing.
-Come on, between us.
-...Just once!
The potty-mouthed succubus Pomi seemed to have softened to tsundere levels post-69 incident.
Before she changed her mind, I quickly opened her status.
