I pulled open the curtain and immediately plopped down right there, screaming like a kid who'd tasted the depths of despair. Holding back the exploding wave of sheer terror was impossible.
"Ugh, uwaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!"
Mom, fuck!!!
"What the hell is thaaaaat!!!!!!!"
Thud, thud!
"Those evil fucking eyes!!!!!!!"
What was outside the window was none other than a grotesque eyeball with tiny bat wings! The thing, like some kind of drone, left thick tear stains on the glass every time it slammed into the window.
Thud, thud!
The eyeball bastard seemed to feel the pain from crashing into the window too—blood vessels burst in its whites with each impact, and eventually, it started weeping bloody tears.
"This is a nightmare!!!"
No one could endure witnessing such a nightmarish sight!
"Hm?"
Claudia, the most seasoned warrior among us, casually flung open the window like it was nothing. Whoosh! The monster eyeball charged in like a giant hornet invading the dorm, thrashing wildly and zipping around the room.
"Evil Eye!"
Winia aimed her Brass Celestial Society wand and shouted.
"E-Evil Eye!"
Evil Eye?! Anyway, this wasn't the time for that! It was too early to despair! I immediately unleashed Murder Taekwondo, jumping to smash the thing.
Ah, aaah! Don't kill it, please! It's hard to tame these!
Just as I was about to destroy the eyeball, a woman's voice suddenly came from it. Caught off guard, we froze and watched the flapping, floating eyeball.
This voice... Hildegarth?
"Um, ahh. Can you hear me? Sorry about that. You must have been startled. This is the only way I could contact you right now. This is my familiar, an Evil Eye."
...It was Hildegarth, alright.
The Evil Eye hovered in midair, staring at us. Since she called it a contact method, it must be her summoned familiar.
"Katt? Is this the work of that succubus you mentioned?"
"...Seems like it."
Claudia examined the Evil Eye with an intrigued look. Winia hid behind me, peeking out with a face like she was staring at something creepy.
"Blackie, tell that thing to fuck off quick! Shit, it's so goddamn gross!"
"Got it. Hey, Hildegarth! Get lost!"
I aimed Asura Blood Claw at her and scolded. What an unprecedented bullshit situation. I thought my soul had left my body just moments ago. An eyeball flying around on its own? Unbelievable.
"You're too harsh, really. Anyway, you're Katt's wives, right? Nice to meet you. I'm Hildegarth, the succubus. Sorry for visiting in such a noisy way. But this was my only means of contact."
Of course, fucking Hildegarth ignored me as usual and just spouted her own lines. Claudia spoke to her.
"Hm, so you're the succubus hanging around Katt?"
"Yes!"
"Nice to meet you. I'm Claudia. Would that be a good introduction as Katt's wife?"
"Uh, sis?"
Winia called out Claudia's name as she greeted so casually. Soon, Hildegarth's excited voice rang out.
"Ahh, thank you for accepting my greeting! And you're incredibly beautiful! I'm confident in my looks too, but compared to you, Claudia, they're laughable! You match Katt perfectly!"
"Oh my?"
What...? This flattery?
Claudia turned to me upon hearing it.
"Katt, she's sweeter than I expected?"
"Uh... what the hell."
"Mama approves?"
"Approve what!"
I'd expected her to draw her sword, but Claudia was reacting like this! Things were getting messy. This bitch said she was coming over and sends a monster like this...!
"By the way, who's that beautiful girl behind Katt?"
The Evil Eye's gaze shifted slightly. It was aimed at Winia, clinging to my waist. Was it sharing vision too?
Demon, as expected.
"...Winia."
Winia glared at the Evil Eye for a moment before muttering her name in a low voice.
"But what, Katt? Why call me out of the blue?"
"Good job! Winia!"
"Shut it, blackie."
Winia slipped from my waist and aimed her wand with clear hostility.
"Eek, sorry. I was careless. Hmm... so what should I call you?"
"Don't call me at all? And what kind of manners is showing up like this? Don't send familiars—come yourself!"
"I'm truly sorry. I should have, but circumstances didn't allow it. I'll make it up to you."
I couldn't fathom why Hildegarth, who never listened to anyone, was being so submissive.
"Anyway, the reason I came is to help you all. So please don't be mad. I came purely to assist, with no ulterior motives."
"...That's your only goal?"
"Yes, of course. I don't lie."
Hildegarth's attitude was as agreeable as Claudia said.
Winia shot me a fierce glance before speaking.
"Why help? A succubus helping humans? For essence?"
"Well... I do want essence, but right now, it's purely to gain Katt's favor. He seems to despise me, but I still want to score points."
"..."
"May I help? Info on the heretics hiding in the city would surely be useful."
A brief silence fell, and Winia lowered her wand.
"Fine. Come tomorrow morning. I'll judge for myself."
"Thank you for the chance, Winia! You're so beautiful too—you match Katt perfectly! Must be nice receiving his love!"
"Ugh..."
Winia looked troubled and grabbed my wrist.
"Hey, hey. Hildegarth."
"Yes! Katt!!"
"Ah, fuck. Quiet down. Anyway, Winia said so, so come tomorrow. Go home now."
"Got it! I will! Have a good night! Take care, Claudia and Winia! Actually, I came today to say hi and check if tomorrow's okay! Thanks for allowing it!"
Flap flap!
The Evil Eye flew out the window obediently after that chipper reply. Its black leather skin melted into the night, vanishing in seconds.
Only then did I close the window and sit on the bed.
"Haa, what the hell was that?"
Winia irritably brushed back her hair and clung to me. Her long pink locks draped down. I stroked her neck.
"Wonder what a succubus really looks like? Curious?"
Claudia stripped off her purple bra and panties, sitting beside me. She looked amused. Seemed interested now.
"No clue, fuck. Blackie. That thing's totally smitten with you, huh? You know it too, right? Damn, succubi falling for you too—nice life."
"No, Winia. I didn't seduce her, and I'm not interested. I know she likes me, but I've got no interest in demons. Just letting her give info."
I answered while fondling Winia's irritated neck.
Winia shut her mouth briefly, then spoke again.
"Fine... you'd never chase a demon first. I know you hate them. But... haa, really. Why do women keep falling for you? Because of this naughty dick? Hm?"
Winia gripped my rock-hard shaft with her small hand, slowly stroking up and down. The soft sensation made my hips buck involuntarily.
"...No idea."
My damn stamina.
"It's all because Katt's so charming. Right?"
"That's... true."
Claudia grabbed it with her hand too. Even with both wives holding it, there was plenty left. Normally, all three did handjobs together anyway.
Claudia spoke as she stroked diligently.
"Hm... Can succubi bear human children?"
"No, Claudia?"
What did I just hear?
Winia freaked out too.
"Sis? Again? No. That's not it. I'd get it if it were human or elf, but a demon? No."
"Oh? What did I even say?"
"What do you mean! Say something sensible, seriously! No matter what, that's a demon!"
Good job, Winia!
"Right, Claudia! She's just an info shuttle!"
To me, Hildegarth was nothing but an info shuttle.
"Katt."
Mwah.
Claudia kissed my cheek to silence my protest, then whispered in my ear as her lips moved there.
"Mama always wants more daughters-in-law."
"Pardon?"
"Mama will see and judge?"
"Judge what—it's a demon!"
Naughty mama.
Anyway, night deepened. Winia shoved me down first, declaring she'd drain all the essence a succubus might crave. She passed out in under 30 minutes, but feeling her love warmed my heart.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ "Hello! It's Hildegarth!"
The next morning, as we stepped out of the inn ready to go, human-mode Hildegarth approached neatly dressed and greeted us.
She smiled brightly as usual, but not calling me "Katt-sama" showed she knew time and place.
"..."
Winia paused and glared at her. Claudia watched too, while the chattiest succubus in existence just stood smiling quietly.
"Katt, she's more feminine than I thought."
Claudia said approvingly.
She had an eye for pretty girls too.
"It's the human transformation."
"She has a true form?"
"Yeah. Horns and wings pop out."
"Hm... I see?"
Claudia stepped forward first.
"Nice to meet you. Hildegarth, right? You helped Katt? Thanks to that, he became a junior priest. Grateful for that."
"Not something to thank me for. But I'm glad you see it that way. Um... you won't attack me, right?"
Hildegarth asked cautiously after smiling back.
"You helped Katt, so no. But if I don't like you, anytime. I'll warn you first if something bugs me."
"...Intimidating. But thanks."
"Hm, you're helping today too? Looking forward to it."
Hildegarth nodded meekly at Claudia's cool words. Winia chimed in.
"...Well, thanks for helping. First off, let me say this."
"I'm more grateful for the talk."
"Grateful my ass... Still can't fully trust you. Explain what you know first."
"Mm, nothing more important than trust, right? Then I'll tell you everything I found. Shall we go up to the room?"
Definitely better inside for talk than out.
We climbed the inn stairs again.
"...Did you sleep well, Katt?"
Hildegarth asked cautiously as we ascended.
Well, she was helping, so somewhat favorable.
"Yeah. Slept great. You?"
"...!"
Her eyes widened at my casual toss.
"D-Did you just... ask how I was...?"
She stuttered with joy... Fuck no.
"Quiet down a bit. Claudia and Winia are here."
"Y-Yes! No, just so happy. Hehe... Oh man. I'm thrilled, Katt. This moment feels like a dream..."
Her wiring was incomprehensible.
"Anyway, thanks for the info. Really grateful. Fact."
"...!"
We entered the room.
We sat comfortably, and Hildegarth looked around before speaking.
"Mm... First off. You came here today to arrest those heretics humans talk about, right? It's a big deal for them."
"Correct."
I nodded.
"Perfect timing then. I'm Hildegarth, a fairly strong succubus, and I can sense demonic energy."
She spoke slowly, explaining to all.
"Right now, with the saint worshiping Verde appearing, it's tricky for me to stay in Katt's city. So I used it as a chance to scout around. Hoping to find useful info for you."
Claudia and Winia listened quietly.
This bitch... had to admit she was working hard.
"Felt a very alien energy."
"Alien energy?"
What kind?
"Humans emanating demonic energy."
"No way."
"Such humans are in this city."
