Kyaoooo—
The wyvern's cry echoed through the sky.
"Ughhh..."
I huddled tightly in Sylvia's arms, battered by the fierce wind whipping at my cheeks.
Right now, I was flying through the red sky high above. More precisely, I was riding on the back of a wyvern, heading to the Second Demon Realm.
There was originally a portal leading to the Second Demon Realm, but only the Demon King's vassals could use it, so we had to fly through the sky instead.
Sylvia had told me that I'd gone through the process of becoming her vassal last night, but her demonic energy hadn't fully permeated my body yet, so I couldn't use it.
She'd said spatial travel through portals could break me down at the atomic level, so we'd decided to just fly.
Sc... scary.
It had been emotional going from a horse-drawn carriage with iron bars on the first day to riding a wyvern, but this wasn't exactly a pleasant experience either.
The biting wind howled relentlessly, and gusts strong enough to keep my eyes shut kept slamming into my face.
If I hadn't been nestled in Sylvia's arms, I might have burst into terrified tears.
"C-C-Cold..."
As I buried my face in Sylvia's chest, she strengthened the barrier of mana around us to block the wind.
"...Please bear with it just a little longer. We'll be there soon."
Kyao—
That was when the wyvern carrying us on its back let out another roar.
Whoosh—
The clouds below parted, revealing a stunning landscape beneath our feet.
A hot spring village nestled around volcanoes bubbling with molten lava.
Even amid my fear, I couldn't help gasping in admiration at the sight below.
"Wow."
To think a view from the sky could be this breathtaking. I'd flown on planes a few times before, but the scenery from a wyvern's back was something else entirely.
As I gazed down with sparkling eyes, Sylvia stroked my head and spoke.
"It seems you like it. We'll be staying in this hot spring village for the next few days to recuperate. Please relax and enjoy yourself."
*
After landing and entrusting the wyvern to the stables, we set foot in the Second Demon Realm's hot spring village.
Cobblestones paved the ground, and colorful lanterns hung along the streets.
It had felt that way from above, but this place had a distinctly Eastern vibe... like a Japanese hot spring town.
Who knew a fantasy world could have a serene village like this.
Having been cooped up in the Demon King's castle all this time, stepping out made me realize just how vast the world really was.
"Oof."
I tried walking a bit after dismounting the wyvern, but my legs gave out almost immediately, nearly sending me sprawling on the ground.
Sylvia supported me, then scooped me up princess-style once more and carried me down the street.
"Sy-Sylvia."
"Yes?"
"It's just... kinda..."
This wasn't inside the Demon King's castle—it was a demon realm village.
Children, grandpas, uncles, aunties, big sisters, and all sorts—people of various ages and genders I'd never seen in the castle.
Many had horns or tails, or other species-specific features that made them look exotic.
Being carried around the bustling village streets like this by a maid sister, in full view of everyone. Was this some kind of humiliation play?
Under the watchful eyes of men, women, young and old alike, I grumbled softly to Sylvia.
"It's... embarrassing..."
"There's no helping it. Close your eyes, and it might feel a bit better."
"..."
Enduring those piercing stares, we made our way through the crowded streets to a large hot spring inn.
"Ooh..."
A grand, magnificent wooden building in Eastern style appeared before us, the kind you'd only see in stories about mysterious disappearances at some shady motel.
As I stared up at it in a daze, I tilted my head at the sight of two familiar girls standing at the entrance.
Those two...
Standing on either side of the door were two girls I knew, waiting for me.
"Hehe, welcome~!"
"We meet again~ Nice to see you~"
It was the twin-tailed little succubus twins, Seril and Hilda. They weren't in their usual maid outfits but wore ankle-length Eastern-style clothes like yukatas.
They greeted me warmly and opened the grand doors.
"Come on in~ Master~"
"We're gonna have tons of fun here starting today~"
"Y-Yeah..."
Guided by the two, we entered the hot spring facility, and a paradise unfolded before my eyes.
Beyond the entrance was a path of arched wooden bridges leading through a garden.
A well-manicured pond hosted small dragon-like creatures swimming leisurely, surrounded by beautiful demon realm plants that blended perfectly with the scenery.
But this lovely garden had some uninvited guests.
"Hehe. We meet again."
"Huh."
Helena Ophelia, who'd given me that so-called sex ed with her spankings; Camilla, the researcher who'd done the enema slime treatment; and even Yuka, who'd massaged me just yesterday.
Various figures from the Demon King's castle were already here. I should have realized when Seril and Hilda greeted me at the entrance...
Of course, there were plenty of ordinary female demons too. Sylvia had said this was a famous demon realm resort.
Unlike outside, though, there wasn't a single man in sight.
When I asked about it, Sylvia explained.
"Her Majesty the Demon King has rented out the entire place for these few days. Well... it was originally Her Highness's property anyway. During that time, men are barred from entry, and beautiful women of marriageable age can come and go for free."
"So that means..."
"Yes. Aside from you, Yeon, everyone here is female. Feel free to enjoy yourself without worry."
Sylvia gave me a gentle smile as she said that.
No, what does an all-women's space have to do with relaxing? If anything, it's more intimidating...
As I fidgeted, Seril and Hilda approached and whispered in my ear.
"Come on, come on~ Let's relax and enjoy. A comfy vacation resort life~"
"Shall we change your clothes first~?"
"Yes, let's do that."
Sylvia set me down from her arms, then lifted me up by slipping her hands under my armpits.
Like a baby lion from that lion king show.
Seril and Hilda came over to my dangling form and swiftly stripped off my clothes.
"Ack."
I was naked in an instant.
Now bare, it felt like all the women wandering the garden were staring at me.
My limbs were too weak to even cover my dick. Under the gazes of all those women in the hot springs, I whispered in a mosquito-like voice.
"P-Put me down... Sylvia."
As I squirmed in protest, Seril looked at me adoringly and made a suggestion.
"Hmm, Head Maid, how about we don't dress him and just let him walk around like this a bit more? He's going into the hot springs anyway—no need for clothes."
"That sounds good too."
What.
"N-No... Sylvia..."
Inside the Demon King's castle would be one thing.
Because there, tribute boys like me were supplied regularly, and the maids were used to lewd stuff like this.
But here, there were way more ordinary female demons! Outdoor exposure play?!
I thrashed my whole body in refusal, but I couldn't escape Sylvia's grip. If anything...
"Oh my, his little dick is swinging."
"So cute, so cute~"
...my embarrassing dick and balls just shook around, drawing mockery from the twin succubi.
Hilda, who'd been tapping my balls with her finger, asked Sylvia.
"By the way, Head Maid, can we start developing his ass now?"
At Hilda's terrifying question, Sylvia nodded.
"Yes. Since Her Highness took Yeon's virginity yesterday, anal development has been unlocked. Feel free to use it as you wish."
"Wha... wha... what?!"
"However, full penetration is still not allowed, so please keep that in mind."
At Sylvia's words that my ass was unlocked, the eyes of the Demon King's castle folks gathered here sparkled.
"Oh my. These next few days are going to be fun~"
"Hehe. Perfect. Let's try something besides the slime."
"I can continue that massage from yesterday..."
The castle's perverts eyed me with sticky gazes. Feeling dread for the future ahead, I entered the hot spring facility stark naked.
*
Sylvia quickly washed my body in her hands, then we entered the hot spring.
The others from the castle were enjoying the outdoor baths, so for now, it was just Sylvia and me in the private bath.
The whole purpose of coming to this hot spring village was, above all, to recover my body. Letting them chew, bite, taste, and enjoy me would come after that.
First things first: soak in these restorative hot spring waters to heal my wrecked asshole and entire body, pounded relentlessly by Erzebet.
Slide—
Opening the sliding shoji door revealed a private hot spring secluded by dense bamboo and stones.
Not the crowded public bath, but a small personal one attached to the ryokan.
Steam rose gently from the pond-sized pool, and the faint, unique scent of the mineral water tickled my nose.
"First... let's warm our bodies thoroughly together."
"Y-Yes."
Sylvia, wrapped in a long towel, held me as she slowly dipped her feet into the warm water.
Splash—
A hot spring bath alone with Sylvia. The future terrified me, but right now, I was a little happy.
Splash—
As my body sank fully into the warm water, a soothing languor melted away the tension in my muscles.
Kya...
Hot water really is the best. I held back from saying something cringey like "Ahh, refreshing~" in this shota body.
I sat in her lap underwater, leaning my back against her chest.
A steamy, body-soothing hot spring bath, plus being cradled in the soft embrace of a beauty like Sylvia. It was paradise. Maybe this wasn't the demon realm after all.
Hueh...
As I relaxed completely, my face going slack with bliss while savoring the happiness...
Slip—
Sylvia's hand underwater quietly wrapped gently around my dick.
