Erogenous Zone Development (1)
Two days had passed since the dispatch mission.
"Huuuuh..."
I stretched my refreshed body languidly, letting out a pleased hum. It's been ages since I moved like this... feels incredibly invigorating.
The mission had been to dismantle a branch of the Longinus Spear. Not the whole organization, of course—just some fringe outpost. There were a hundred of them in total. A pretty hefty number for "fringe," but I'd managed to capture every single one alive.
The church's policy was no killing unless it was a great demon or something that absolutely had to be put down. Aside from three demons left in critical condition, they'd all been neatly subdued with Holy Power. From my perspective, it was easier than a stroll in the park. Just a tiny burst of Holy Power, and they were all combat-ineffective.
"Eheheh."
No one had praised me outright, but I chuckled proudly at myself for handling the task so flawlessly. I'm the strongest, after all. I could still picture the faces of the holy knights watching me—their eyes wide like, What the hell was that?
"Hehe."
Feeling great, I laughed again. I'd wrapped up the mission so stylishly and even gotten rave reviews from Lucia! A thoroughly satisfying dispatch.
Lucia was so beautiful... Was it because it had been weeks since I'd seen her in person? She looked several times prettier than in the Projection Stone calls.
Poof—I flopped onto the bed with a contented face. Lucia's joyful expression lingered in my mind. But there was something off, one little difference. Her gaze had been... strange. Every time I hugged her or pressed against her, her cheeks flushed oddly, and the way she looked at me felt a bit sticky. Not blatant, maybe just my imagination. But there was definitely that vibe.
I hoped it was my mistake—right as that thought crossed my mind.
Knock knock.
Someone knocked from outside.
"Yeees?"
"You're here. It's Rachel. May I come in?"
"Yes, of course. Come on in."
The door swung open—it was Rachel who'd come to see me. She held two small gift boxes. Curious, I tilted my head, and she continued.
"You worked hard on the dispatch. This is a little gift from me."
Heart fluttering, I unwrapped it. Inside were cookies.
"I didn't make them myself... Just some from the village bakery. Chewy and delicious."
"A gift on top of everything... Thank you so much."
"No need. You must be tired from the long trip."
My body ached, but joy welled up inside. I set the box on the side table and pointed to the second one.
"But what's this?"
"That's for the Saintess."
"For Lucia?"
"Yes. She's the one who sent such a wonderful person like you, Miss Carrot. I've always wanted to give her a gift."
The Saintess probably wouldn't mind sweets, she added. Lucia was infamous at the church as a sugar demon. With her workload, she snacked on them during every break. I'd worried about diabetes, but she said it was fine. The saintess's blessing warded off diseases. Being so favored by Manus made it enviable—no diabetes worries while devouring chocolate! How amazing.
"I'll lend you a pigeon. Could you send it to the church? I don't know the location well."
"Sure, I can do that much."
"Please tell her I'm always grateful."
"Got it."
With that, Rachel smiled brightly and left the room. She glanced at my face briefly before heading up to the third floor.
Oh, right. On the way back from dispatch, I'd bought snacks as gifts too—and forgotten to give them to Rachel. Eh, I could do it later. I'd gotten separate ones for the triplets. They seemed really into food last time. They'd devoured the steak I gave them. They'd liked Rachel's cookies before too. They'd love these. Imagining their happy faces lifted my spirits. I just hoped they'd enjoy them.
"Mmm... haaah..."
Slurp, smack—
"Ngh... haa...!"
This was the mansion's parlor, filled with the aroma of fresh cookies and black tea. Here, Carrot was locked in a sticky kiss with Ruen.
"Pua, pah..."
After a long kiss, they parted lips.
"My turn next."
Lua swapped in. The Sound Gate on Carrot's lower abdomen glowed, her once-clear eyes now glazed over. Her body twitched as she accepted the lewd sensation of intertwining tongues.
Soon, Lua pulled away after sufficient absorption. Finally, Lucy tangled her tongue with Carrot's, interlocking their pinkies.
"Huu... haa... Ungnii..."
Even as their tongues thrashed wildly, she called Carrot's name in muffled baby talk. Carrot, hands clasped tightly with hers, shuddered violently.
"Puha... haaah..."
Her face flushed crimson as the absorption ended. Lucy pressed firmly on Carrot's lower belly, then nestled into her embrace and pecked her nape.
"Such thick Yin Energy... Delicious as always today..."
"Yeah. It's getting richer by the day."
"Y-yeah, s-sis... I wuv youuu..."
Unlike the two savoring the Yin flavor, Lucy whispered sweet nothings into Carrot's ear. The Sound Gate eroded its host's body, gradually reshaping it. As erosion deepened, accumulated Yin grew denser. To achieve that, they needed to develop Carrot's entire body.
Through all sorts of perverse plays to heighten sensitivity. The goal: a body that climaxed from a mere lick on the nape. Then, she couldn't live normally without the triplets.
Please let me cum, she'd beg on her knees—utterly beautiful and obscene.
"Haa... haaaah..."
After thirty minutes of kisses from the triplets, Carrot panted with a beet-red face. Ruen stroked her hair and continued.
"Sorry, sis? You even brought gifts..."
On the side table sat the cookies Carrot had brought—untouched, not a fingertip laid on them. Lua licked her lips at the sight.
"But... sis tastes way better than cookies."
"True that."
"Hauu..."
Carrot shuddered at the words. Dazed from the absorption, she stared as Ruen pressed on.
"So, what about that thing you mentioned before?"
"What?"
"The Saintess. You said before sis left on dispatch, you tampered with her Sound Gate."
"Oh, that. Probably took effect fine."
Lua answered Ruen's question in a tone like she'd forgotten. Before Carrot's dispatch, Lua had added debuffs to her Sound Gate: Female Pheromones, Arousal Contact, and Charm Emission.
Female Pheromones turned the body alluring to women. Arousal Contact excited any woman touched. Charm Emission simply made her look prettier to surrounding women. A personal kink of Lua's.
The reason? The Saintess was also a Sound Gate target. Greedy succubi, after all.
"Hmm... But a Saintess like that. Think it'll affect her?"
Ruen asked dubiously. Lucy nodded in agreement. Lua pondered, then shook her head lightly.
"Nah. Never expected full effect anyway. Just needs a subtle influence."
"Influence?"
"Yeah. Even a Saintess isn't invincible off-guard. Especially around someone precious."
She wasn't aiming for dramatic change—just to spark a bit of sexual interest. Stronger lust meant weaker against succubi. Roasting a lust-fallen human was child's play. They'd conquer the Saintess via Carrot, like a Trojan horse.
Lua smirked leisurely, kneading Carrot's breast.
"Eut..."
Carrot let out a cute whimper.
"If it worked, she's probably masturbating thinking of sis right now."
Lua said with a lewd grin. Lucy and Ruen swallowed hard. If—if really—the Saintess got Sound Gated too, not just Carrot... The taboo thrill would be indescribable. Plus, advance Rachel's long-standing wish.
"Hehe."
Lua chuckled softly, caressing Carrot's chin. Carrot gulped, body twitching.
"Can't wait for the Saintess too..."
Lua kissed her again.
"Haa..."
Lucia sighed deeply on her bed. After two days of all-nighters and a shower, she should be sleepy. But her eyes were wide awake.
The reason? Carrot, whom she'd just seen. That strangely sexier face wouldn't leave her mind.
"Mmm..."
She tossed, hugging the blanket. Her thin nightgown outlined her curves. An odd feeling made her cross and uncross her legs unconsciously. Deep sighs escaped repeatedly.
Sure, it had been ages since seeing her face, and she was thrilled. But thrilled to ogle Carrot lewdly? Lucia couldn't stand her pathetic self.
Sorry, Carrot...
Guilt surged. As Saintess, cleric, church figurehead—this was wrong. Yet her damn heart pounded relentlessly.
Am I weird, or did Carrot's vibe change...?
She'd noticed Carrot's shift recently. Weekly reports—about two weeks ago, something changed. A subtle sexiness infused her. Unlike her usual pure, clean image, a veiled allure seeped out.
Back then, it wasn't "lewd." But today? She'd eyed Carrot dirtily. Worried it stemmed from the succubi mansion. Maybe something perverse happened. But today's hug and scan spell showed no anomalies.
So, just imagination. Thwack, thwack—lewd thoughts popped up; she punched her pillow.
"Haa..."
She sprawled starfish on the bed, sighing deeply. Yeah, all my imagination. No weird thoughts. She chanted it, trying to clear her mind.
Even if something happened, it'd be fine. Carrot was one of the church's strongest holy knights. Devout Manus believer and her knight, after all.
Smack, smack—
"Ah, mmph... haaaah..."
"Sis... feels good here...?"
"N-not thereee...!"
"Whoa, she's twitching like crazy..."
"Yeah... sis is already wet."
In Carrot's room, she was surrounded by the triplets as always, her body toyed with.
Ruen licking her nape. Lua leaving hickeys on her inner thighs. Lucy caressing her lower belly.
Legs quivering, Carrot bit her lip against the teasing on her weak spots. Ruen whispered, hugging her tight.
"Sis... today, let's get off without touching nipples or pussy...?"
"Ah... nngh... haaaah..."
Carrot's wet voice responded to the sweet whisper. Standing in the room, unable to move.
Mistaking it for a dream. She let out moans freely. Dripping arousal, she hung her head.
"Ma-Manuus...!"
Unconsciously, clinging to lingering reason, she softly invoked her goddess.
