Premium Rohan
Rohan and Ichinose quietly slipped out of the bushes and stepped into the mansion's courtyard.
Maintaining a low stance, ready to react swiftly to any attack.
They closed in on the cluster of pleasure dolls lined up beside the massive bathtub.
"…."
The lifeless eyes of the pleasure dolls shifted. They clearly recognized them.
But no attack came. Not even a sound.
"Not charging like the husks. Waiting for orders, maybe."
"Could be for bathing service... Anyway, let's take them out quick."
The only thought in their minds was opportunity.
Before the succubus noticed and showed up, they resolved to liberate every pleasure doll in sight.
Rohan and Ichinose took up their positions.
One Sword - Flame Cut
With a clean swing of his blade, Rohan decapitated the pleasure dolls.
Slash!
The headless pleasure dolls collapsed like puppets with cut strings.
The succubus, sensing the disturbance, emerged from the mansion a step too late.
The mansion door burst open with a clunk!, unleashing a thick wave of fragrance.
It evoked the heavy, dense scent of a department store's first-floor cosmetics section.
As the spreading aroma tried to meddle with their minds, the two intensified their mana flow.
"Humans...?"
The succubus let out a disbelieving voice from between her crimson lips.
She quickly composed herself, flashing a leisurely smile.
"Fun guests have arrived. Where did you come from?"
Her glossy black pointed nails gleamed.
Rohan's gaze locked onto the succubus's standout features.
Thanks to that, he vaguely recalled what weapon she used and how.
Thud thud thud thud───.
Pleasure dolls poured out from the open door gap.
The gaunt men wore the same outfits as those by the tub but carried weapons.
"Cat got your tongues? Answer me."
The succubus read the situation. The humans stared at her like she was a specimen.
The woman had her eyes closed, but her sharp senses were definitely fixed this way.
"And the man..."
The succubus's eyes widened at Rohan. She didn't hide her surprise.
She raised one hand, forcing back the advancing pleasure dolls three steps.
"You're no ordinary man, are you? A premium like you is a first."
The succubus's eyes glittered with desire as she eyed Rohan.
This was no good.
"Premium?"
Rohan scowled at being treated like merchandise.
"...Rohan is premium?"
Not just Rohan—Ichinose zeroed in on the word too.
All the succubi they'd encountered so far couldn't communicate.
She'd assumed their drooling fits at Rohan were just because he was male.
But there was another reason.
"You can talk?"
The succubus looked satisfied just from seeing him.
Rohan pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Bang!
The succubus tilted her head to dodge the bullet, waving her jet-black tail like it was amusing, and laughed.
She ignored the bullet embedding in a pleasure doll's head behind her.
"I like obedient ones, but a rebellious man now and then isn't bad either."
Since Rohan had struck first, the fight would start the moment the succubus reached out.
But she wanted to talk. Or rather, she wanted Rohan.
If they could extract maximum info, it wasn't a bad deal for Rohan's group either.
Reading their intent, the succubus proposed a deal.
"I'll forgive you for breaking my precious dolls. In return, wanna live with sis and have some fun? Forget all the hassle and just taste the ultimate pleasure forever."
"Like hell."
As Rohan bared his teeth to curse her out.
The succubus cooed "Oh my oh my!" and swayed her hips and tail, urging him to hear her out.
"Not turning you into a pleasure doll. Just live together. What do you say?"
"Don't want a loose slut."
"Hehe, jealous guys are cute too. The pleasure dolls? Say the word, and I'll dispose of them all."
The succubus ignored the harsh insult, rubbing her thighs together as she fixated on Rohan.
Her gaze burned hot, her breath quickened—not acting.
Whatever happened to her named succubus dignity? She gulped, unable to contain her drool.
Ichinose gritted her teeth in rising fury.
But she held back. Emotional reactions wouldn't help.
"Kill them all right now."
"Tricks like that don't work on sis~ Gotta make a contract first?"
Serve the Succubus eternally in exchange for pleasure.
Reject: Immediate hostility.
Penalty for breach: Eternal enslavement.
Bianca
A black parchment floated before Rohan's eyes.
Ichinose startled, about to warn against accepting even as a ploy, but Rohan had no such intent.
He confirmed the succubus's name at the bottom.
After spotting the three letters—Bianca.
He slashed the floating parchment in half with his sword.
The shredded pieces fell to the ground.
Bianca wiped the smile from her face.
Icy rage spread in all directions.
"...A picky premium man, as expected. No choice then."
The succubus snapped her fingers.
Click!
The expressionless pleasure dolls charged en masse.
─ ….
─ ….
Unlike husks, they made no meaningless noises. Nor were their feet slow.
Silent, they swung their blades.
Empowered by the succubus's mana, their physical abilities far exceeded ordinary humans.
And annoyingly, their attacks were all mutual destruction.
Lacking ego, the command-driven pleasure dolls threw themselves as standard.
No pain, no stopping until major damage—they got trickier in numbers.
Clang! Clang! Stab!
Still, the pleasure dolls fell one by one.
Bianca inwardly marveled at their synergy and skill.
"They fight way better than I thought?"
Women weren't her taste. No interest in collecting.
But turning that blind-like woman into a pleasure doll for guard duty would more than cover her losses.
The man's value went without saying.
"Guess I'll show you one of my specialties."
Resolved, Bianca circulated her mana.
Whoosh───!!!
Thick aura erupted from her body. The mansion filled with pink mist.
Rohan knew Bianca's skill, so he kicked away a charging pleasure doll and warned Ichinose.
"Ichinose. Charm. Keep your head straight."
"Got it...!"
"Her thing's the wide range. Won't be super concentrated."
Rohan warned Ichinose based on prior knowledge.
He gripped his sword tight in one hand.
One Sword - Flame Cut
Rohan's swordsmanship neatly bisected the waists of multiple pleasure dolls, sending them flying.
Impressive strength for one hand.
"Hoo."
Ichinose resheathed Yoru in a flash and followed with her sword art.
Dream Illusion Slash Shadow Flow - Wing Shadow Flash
The pleasure dolls were cleanly sliced and collapsed in a heap.
Then, through the thick pink mist.
Jet-black nails pierced the cloudy space, flying at Rohan.
Reeeing!
Rohan parried the thigh-aimed nails with a swing of Brilliance.
The extended nails retracted to Bianca's hand.
"Oh? Blocked that? Even more to my liking."
Ichinose slashed at the nail's origin, but Bianca had already moved.
No time for regret. They handled the remaining pleasure dolls.
And Ichinose felt it.
How vicious this charm was.
"This is weak charm...?"
As same sex as the succubus, Ichinose had resistance, feeling it thin and diluted.
Even so, her mind reeled.
Instinct and reason tumbled, mixing into chaos.
She couldn't imagine what Rohan, a male, endured.
Impressive he could fight like this.
But the battle didn't last.
How many pleasure dolls hit the floor, how many nail ambushes did they block?
Just as she sensed it turning into a prolonged fight.
"…."
Drop.
Rohan's pistol slipped from his hand, his arm going limp.
His head hung low.
Sword dangling, back hunched—like he might collapse any second.
Anyone could see: a man fallen to charm. About to drop his sword next.
"Rohan!!!"
Ichinose cried out in a tearing voice.
"Gotta snap him out...!"
The moment she resolved, pleasure dolls under Bianca's order shielded like meat walls.
The succubus emerged through the pink mist.
"Hehe, first man to resist charm this long. I'll pamper you as my eternal servant. You'll lead me to the queen's throne."
Bianca held a choker like a dog collar.
As the succubus stepped closer to collar Rohan.
The slack, head-down Rohan.
Seized the waited moment, exploding mana instantly.
Three Swords - Light Wing Piercer
The thrust Juyeon had praised as excellent save for the setup issue.
Which satisfied tricky conditions in real combat, piercing Bianca's heart.
"Guhk...!?"
"Told you, no sluts."
Rohan followed with rotational force on the blade, bursting her heart.
A never-before-seen achievement popped up.
