Two Gates and the Succubus's Heat
He had been staring intently at Uriel, who looked as if she were talking to herself while conversing with the others inside. After glancing around, he said, "We must be nearly there. I can see the signs of a dimensional gate."
At his words Uriel scanned their surroundings as well. Sure enough, faint distortions like heat haze shimmered in the empty air. Yet her reaction was slightly strange.
"We still have a full day's travel ahead, but the signs are already visible. That's unusual."
"Hmm? Hmm."
The God grew serious. He stopped walking, set the travel bag on the ground, and pressed a button. Legs extended from its base, followed by a keyboard and monitor.
Oh, it had that kind of function too. Interesting.
"This is a field tactical computer set. It gathers data on dimensional gates and can also use communication devices for positional measurements."
"Connect the communicator."
"Yes."
Following his order, Uriel took the cable from the computer and plugged it into the port at the back of her neck. She immediately felt the implant link her to the machine and establish a secure wireless channel.
A communication device?
"It utilizes the communicator built into the prosthesis along with the implant. The body itself functions as an antenna, allowing wide-area scans."
Ah, I feel a tingling sensation.
"That is due to the electromagnetic waves it emits."
No matter how advanced the technology, she wondered how so many functions could fit inside a single human-sized frame.
How can they pack that many capabilities into the volume of one person? Still, it's nice to have such a useful body.
"Thanks to new materials and improved manufacturing processes that reduced the overall bulk."
But doesn't the God have an implant?
"He dislikes dangerous items like implants that could allow his brain to be read."
While the two of us stood conversing, he crouched in front of the transformed travel bag and typed rapidly. Soon he crossed his arms, expression grave.
"This is a first. Two dimensional gates are opening. We measured from too great a distance, so their positions overlapped and appeared as one."
Don't dimensional gates sometimes open in multiples?
"There have been no simultaneous openings until now."
Really? I assumed they opened frequently enough that simultaneous events were possible.
Then what should we do? A full day's distance apart is awkwardly far. We won't be able to handle both at once.
The God, arms still folded in thought, looked at us and smiled as though a good idea had struck him. "The solution is simple. You handle this one. I'll close the other gate and return."
"There is no precedent for entrusting a dimensional gate to an archangel."
"Was it Elisha? Uriel is still inexperienced in battle, but you should manage."
The way he pointed his finger and declared it so confidently nearly convinced me on the spot. No—even for me, fighting unknown monsters and winning seemed difficult.
I honestly lack confidence.
Stop hesitating and tell him directly.
"That would be best."
The moment Uriel finished speaking, control of the body returned to me. As I stretched to adjust to the subtle differences in sensation, the God spoke again.
"Is it Elisha? You don't seem very different from the archangel."
"Ah, my mistake."
I had forgotten I needed to act once I came forward. As I began performing as usual, he nodded.
"Hmm. That's definitely the atmosphere I sensed before it switched to Uriel. Previously there was that personality called Kyubey, and the difference in aura is striking."
"Hmph. Even though it's the same body, we are clearly distinct selves."
Completely ignoring my words, he pointed to a section of the map on the monitor. The planned emergence point for the gate was circled a short distance from our current location. The other site was considerably farther away, which explained the "day's travel" remark.
"Wait nearby. When the gate appears tomorrow, simply deal with the monsters that emerge."
"I honestly lack confidence."
"If you fight at least as well as you did when playing with me, you won't die."
"Sigh, understood."
He still showed no intention of listening to my opinion. From the bag he pulled out a backpack and began loading it with a combat uniform, spare weapons, a short-range radio, a dimensional gate alarm, and various other items while speaking.
"One piece of advice: when an enemy appears, do not attack immediately. First determine its type, then strike."
With that, he picked up the travel bag and vanished into the thick undergrowth.
With no other choice, I shouldered the backpack, took up the axe, and advanced while clearing a path to find a suitable place to stay for the day. The sharp, well-balanced battle axe sliced through vegetation without resistance.
"This axe feels satisfying to use."
More importantly, did we receive our rations? I don't think I saw any earlier.
I prepared emergency calorie bars in the pocket.
As expected of a meticulous child. Shall we mate after so long?
Eek.
"Huh? Everyone?"
In the meantime they must have been dragged off by Kyubey, because no further words came. Goodness. She really is too insatiable.
After wandering the area for a while I found a suitable spot—a large tree with enough space to lie down once I climbed it. I memorized the location, then set about clearing nearby monsters to create a safe zone.
While cutting down obstructing grass and piling it aside, I killed every monster I encountered.
"At least there are no orcs. That's fortunate."
Thud. Thud. I kicked away a rat-like monster the size of a child that charged me, then buried the axe in the head of the one in front. After several died instantly, the rest retreated cautiously before fleeing in panic.
I wiped the blood-soaked axe on a broad leaf the size of a human torso and continued working. As I said, it was lucky no orcs appeared. Encountering a tribal group could mean being chased by dozens or even hundreds of them—an extremely dangerous situation.
"Besides, this body is female."
Orcs that killed males and violated females were dangerous in every sense.
After roughly an hour the surroundings were cleared. A wide swath of grass around the tree had been removed for good visibility, and an even larger area had been cleared of monsters to instill a proper sense of danger.
I climbed the tree, set the backpack aside, laid down soft grass, and stretched out. It had a certain rustic charm.
Hmm. Lying quietly in a peaceful forest felt truly healing.
A sudden chill woke me. Ah, I had fallen asleep. The area was already dark—it was the middle of the night.
In the quiet, only the faint sounds of insects could be heard. The midnight forest created a serene atmosphere I could savor. As expected, I truly loved the forest at night. It calmed both mind and body.
By the way, were those two still enjoying themselves?
I wasn't sure what would happen to the body if I entered the mental space while they were there, but I decided to treat it as a brief experiment and slipped inside. The familiar sensation of consciousness shifting occurred, and I safely arrived in the inner room. The screen on the wall showed no movement, meaning the body was lying perfectly still, not even blinking.
The condition seemed better than expected, so I opened the door to Kyubey's room. The moment it swung open, lewd scents and sounds flooded out.
Wow, had they really been at it the entire time?
"Sisters!"
"You startled me! What is it?"
"Haup."
The pair, tangled stickily on the bed, jumped apart at my shout.
"Goodness, have you truly been doing this the whole time? Stop that and pull your tail out."
"Huh? How did you get in here? What about the body?"
"It stayed perfectly still in the position it was in before I entered."
"Hngh. It is exactly like an android without an AI," Uriel said after seeing the fixed view on the TV in Kyubey's room.
Even though I told her to remove it, the tail kept sliding in and out. When I grabbed it and yanked firmly, love juices dripped down.
"Ouch! Be gentler. It's a sensitive organ."
"Instead of having sex all day in here, go outside and stand guard."
"Ehh~ It's boring. I don't want to."
"Hurry up!"
"Hing."
Even while whining, Kyubey went outside to stand watch. After confirming the view on the TV was moving, I sighed.
"Sigh, she really can't be controlled. Are you all right, Uriel?"
"Yes, I am fine now."
"Don't indulge her so much. She'll become spoiled."
"Since I participated willingly, it is not solely Kyubey's fault."
"Ah, that sexual frustration? It was real?"
"Yes."
I had been half-doubting it, but it seemed to be true. That meant the same symptoms would appear for me tomorrow. Fortunately the condition only manifested inside the mental space.
It would be troublesome if it interfered with my music appreciation hobby.
"Have you considered treating it?"
"At first it was slightly uncomfortable, but now I rather enjoy it. The pounding heart, the fuzzy head, and the dizzying sensation in my lower belly feel so good that..."
The usually stoic woman blushed and wore a coquettish expression, creating an enormous shift in atmosphere. She radiated such a seductive aura that even I, watching, felt myself growing heated. It was hard to believe this was the same Uriel who constantly scolded Kyubey for being vulgar. She had changed greatly in a short time.
"Well, if she likes it herself, I suppose it's fine."
"Now that the pent-up desire I couldn't release recently has been relieved, I should be able to sleep comfortably."
"It accumulates even when you're outside?"
"It is much weaker than when inside the mental space, but the estrus state persists. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy a pleasant condition with moderate heat."
"The mind influencing the body..."
I had thought the mental space and physical body were completely separate, yet it seemed they affected each other slightly. The saying "a healthy mind dwells in a healthy body" appeared to hold some truth.
While I pondered the relationship between mind and body, Uriel—perhaps exhausted—fell asleep right there on Kyubey's bed. Once she was asleep, the butlers who had been standing unobtrusively began cleaning her body and tidying the bed. I was curious exactly how those men had been created to perform such natural actions.
Leaving the sleeping woman behind, I returned to my own room and passed the time with my hobby. The music and songs inside the player had been listened to many times and were familiar, yet actually singing them felt somehow different.
Ugh. If Grandpa had been here at a time like this, he would have told me what was wrong. Practicing alone was not as easy as I had thought.
I don't know when I fell asleep, but a burning heat throughout my body woke me. My entire frame felt hot, my heart pounded, and my womb throbbed. Even though I wasn't doing anything, my body had grown excited on its own and now craved pleasure.
Fortunately I was so accustomed to suppressing sexual desire that it was more bearable than I had expected. Still, the continuous pleasant exhilaration kept my body throbbing and constantly fueled my lust.
Even without a yin brand, this level of heat made it easy to understand how Uriel—with no resistance—had fallen into sexual frustration and become intoxicated by pleasure.
"Mmm. It really does improve the mood once the heat begins."
The body heated by estrus had relaxed tension and grown softer. The stress accumulated from worrying about the many tasks ahead melted away, leaving me with positive, happy feelings. It was like being on a drug, yet not strong enough to interfere with daily life—just right.
As I enjoyed the estrus state, I no longer felt any need to treat it.
"To make a female whose ovaries were modified willingly accept her own heat—the succubus ability is truly remarkable."
Kyubey's earlier statement about conquering humans through pleasure rather than pain and turning them into slaves now made perfect sense.
Gently stroking my flushed, swollen clit, I checked the screen to see if the watch was being kept properly. Kyubey was staring intently at something. Curious, I looked closer and saw a small black slime wriggling on her palm.
When Kyubey placed a tree fruit on her palm, the slime wrapped around it, slowly dissolving and consuming the fruit.
"Kyaa, so cute~"
Kyubey kept repeating how adorable it was while rolling the now-round slime around with her fingers.
Slimes, known as nature's cleaners and common throughout natural ecosystems, could eat almost anything. They consumed all kinds of byproducts and waste, decomposing them and secreting nutrient-rich fluid. They served as ecosystem purifiers and important food sources for plants and small animals.
Their sizes varied widely—from the tiny one on her palm no larger than a little finger to ones the size of an adult fist or even a human head. Their colors were equally diverse. Research by monster hunters and biologists suggested the differences came mainly from diet and habitat, though I didn't know the details.
Anyway, slimes were gentle and docile enough to play with like this.
Even though dawn had arrived and it was time to prepare to close the dimensional gate, Kyubey was still playing with the slime. Suppressing the throbbing in my lower belly and pussy, I came forward to take over.
Sister, I'm here.
"You woke up? I thought I would die of boredom."
You seemed to be enjoying the slime quite a bit.
"Doesn't this child resemble the one that lived in my magic core?"
It is larger, but yes, quite similar.
Compared to the one that had been no bigger than a fingernail, this was several times larger, yet the black color and slight glossy sheen were the same.
More importantly, it was time to prepare. When I took control of the body, I moved in place of Kyubey.
"We should get ready soon."
Ah, pack the slime for me. I'm going to raise it as a pet monster.
"Why a slime of all things... Fine."
Thank you~ I'm going to play with Uriel~
"Don't torment her too much."
The slime, having eaten half the fruit, continued wriggling busily as it ate. The more it consumed, the more slippery mucus it secreted, pooling in the palm and dripping down.
Hmm. But where should I store the slime to carry it? It ate almost anything and, with the unique flexibility of amorphous creatures, could squeeze through tiny gaps. It was not an easy monster to transport.
