“An incubus?”
What was that?
Judging by the demon’s look, as if it was something I should obviously know, it seemed to be a very well-known type, but I couldn’t place it.
Was it similar to a succubus?
“What is that?”
The demon gave a wry smile and stroked my head.
Her hand, which had cupped my head, trailed down to my cheek, and her body floated up and settled beside me.
The piled-up straw spread out, and the spot where she sat became dry and crisp.
The demon stretched out her hand, and a piece of paper materialized in the air.
A picture was drawn on the paper.
It was a demon with magnificent horns and a blatantly naked lower body.
I grimaced at the grotesque attire.
“Simply put, an incubus is a type of demon that’s good at sex.”
I flinched at the unexpected word “sex” from the demon’s mouth.
The current situation—looking at a beautiful woman and a lewd picture—combined with the sultry way she pronounced “sex,” lightly touching the roof of her mouth, made my lower body stiffen.
The demon circled near my lower body, wiggling her fingers tantalizingly close.
I focused more on the movement of her hand than on the picture.
The demon’s whisper echoed.
“You can absorb someone’s life force, or release your power to corrupt them.”
“Absorb life force… or release…”
It meant it was the same type of demon as a succubus.
Judging by the separate names, it seemed like the male and female types were called incubus and succubus, respectively.
When I nodded silently, the demon added an explanation.
“To put it even more simply, it’s a type of demon that utilizes human sexual desire and life force. You can even completely absorb someone’s life force and turn them into a mummy.”
It was a strange ability, seemingly both useful and useless for my revenge.
The demon suddenly moved away from my side and floated into the air.
Tilting her head, she said,
“Want to get up?”
“Uh, yes.”
I got up as she instructed.
My body felt strangely light.
The wounds from the beating earlier that evening had healed, and the muscles that had screamed in protest from the harsh labor moved flexibly.
“Huh?”
“The effects of the seal’s release appear gradually. You’ll feel even better tomorrow morning. Now, take my hand. I’ll give you a simple demonstration of the captivating abilities of demons.”
She seemed to be a succubus.
The demon who released my seal was a succubus?
Was this a coincidence?
I took the demon’s hand without hesitation.
As soon as I did, she suddenly changed her hand position and interlaced her fingers with mine.
The feeling of her skin softly filling the spaces between my fingers made me take another deep breath.
While my head spun and my heart raced, the demon’s eyes also glowed red as she chuckled.
Her swaying tail and large wings took on the same color as her eyes, and the world around us blurred.
“Whoa!”
I stumbled, as if an earthquake had struck.
Yellow and red dots floated in my blurry vision.
The festival was winding down.
I could see the structures people had erected for the hero, and the priests collecting donations.
It seemed we were outside.
I hid myself against the wall to avoid the priests’ eyes, and the demon giggled again, amused by my cowardly behavior.
“Don’t worry. I told you, didn’t I? Only corrupt priests with no power or passion come to a rural place like this, so they can’t sense demons.”
And she stepped outside confidently.
None of the people actually walking around seemed to notice her, a demon.
Her whole body appeared hazy, like a mirage in the desert, and glancing at my hands and feet, I noticed that I, too, appeared blurry.
Was I really invisible?
I waved my hands at passersby and even tried poking my fingers in their eyes, but they seemed completely oblivious to my presence.
The priests also showed no signs of noticing me.
They were busily scanning the crowd for people who could make donations, and among them, a priestess sat with a composed posture, sighing deeply as she flipped through documents.
She had blonde hair cut in a bob, her eyes were a lake-blue, and her long eyelashes fluttered with each blink.
Her breasts, the perfect size to hold in both hands, jiggled enticingly with each movement.
She clearly wanted to escape this festival.
I followed the demon, my gaze fixed on the priestess’s chest.
The demon, with a confident and dignified demeanor, walked through the crowd, heading for an alley.
“Huh?”
But at that moment, the priestess suddenly lifted her head and looked towards where the demon was.
The demon, seemingly caught off guard, froze mid-stride, and I whispered, clutching her wing tightly,
“Wh-what is it? Did she see us?”
The priestess blinked her blue eyes, staring at where the demon and I were, then tilted her head.
Her furrowed brows made her look bad-tempered, but the way she tilted her head and rolled her eyes was also cute.
“Is something the matter?”
“No. Nothing at all. I must be tired. The festival is over, let’s pack up. The smell of alcohol and trash… I really can’t stand this place any longer.”
“You’ll get used to it. You might not know since you’re from the capital, but this city always feels like this.”
“Sigh…”
The priestess sighed deeply at the priest’s words.
The priest gave an awkward laugh and looked at his fellow priest, then, out of the priestess’s sight, rolled his eyes and chuckled.
The priests left the festival grounds and headed towards the temple.
“See? I told you we wouldn’t get caught.”
Only after the priests were gone did the demon spread her arms and laugh, as if nothing had happened.
Where did her brazen attitude come from?
I was so dumbfounded that I forgot she was a demon and that I was here, dreaming of revenge, learning demonic powers, and I ended up giggling.
The demon stared intently as I laughed.
She had been kind to me all along, but her bewitching red eyes and sharp horns still made me shrink back in the silence.
Did she think I was laughing at her?
I stopped laughing and averted my gaze.
People were staggering, collapsing on the ground, or crawling towards their homes.
Even amidst the pungent smell of alcohol, I could still smell the demon’s fragrance.
“You look better when you smile. Smile more often.”
She said, gently squeezing my cheeks with both hands.
“Uh?”
“Yes, yes. Like this. Smiling suits you. Smiling is the best, you know?”
The demon smiled, stretching my cheeks like a toy.
Then, she wrapped her arm around my shoulders, pulling me against her chest, and pointed to a man walking into a back alley.
“So, shall we try a demonstration with that man?”
“…D-demonstration?”
Both succubi and incubi were types of demons good at sex.
Naturally, absorbing life force would involve sex, and using power would also involve sex.
But, fuck, she was going to use a man as a teaching aid right now?
“Uh, no. Could we do it with a woman instead?”
“What woman would be wandering around alone at this hour? It’s a bit difficult to enter someone’s house. And bothersome.”
The demon was surprisingly practical in strange ways.
I desperately appealed to her about my sexual preference.
“But, still, doing it with a man is a bit…”
The demon frowned slightly at my words, then asked back with a puzzled expression,
“Huh? With a man? Why?”
“What?”
“We have eyes, you know. We don’t have sex with just anyone. What if that man has an STD? It seems you’re misunderstanding something. Succubi and incubi are good at sex, but… that doesn’t mean we absorb life force solely through sex. A species that has to have sex with men they don’t like just to survive is… how should I put it… pathetic, isn’t it? We have hearts and preferences too.”
In the back alley, a man lay collapsed, groaning.
After making sure no one else would come into the alley, we approached him.
He was a plump man with a round face and belly.
The demon grabbed the back of his head and said,
“It’s simple. Man or woman, it doesn’t matter. Touch any part of their body, gather your strength from your stomach to your palm, and regulate your breathing. Then…”
She demonstrated the breathing technique and tightened her grip.
Suddenly, the man lifted his head and began to gesture towards the empty air, letting out strange moans.
“Ugh…! Ugh…! Kuh…!”
With his eyes rolled back, he looked like a dying corpse to anyone who saw him.
“Wh-what is it? Did we fuck up?”
The demon laughed at my anxiety.
“Oh my, it would be a bit rude to just drain his life force, wouldn’t it? So I’m letting him have a very erotic dream.”
“Do we have to do that too?”
“You don’t have to if you don’t want to. It varies from individual to individual.”
“Kuh…!”
While we were talking, the man’s face became pale, and his breathing grew shallow.
When the demon released her hand, the man’s body went limp and fell to the ground like a rag doll.
The demon said,
“Want to try?”
“Uh, yes.”
I didn’t know who this man was.
Spending most of my time working at the mansion, I didn’t know any of the villagers.
Perhaps he was a dependable head of a household, or perhaps he was a bad person.
But, in the end, wasn’t that someone else’s business?
I placed my hand on his head and tightened my lower abdomen, just as the demon had done.
A faint power flowed from my stomach, spreading throughout my hand.
At the same time, I felt the man’s collapsed body tremble, and power surged through me.
“Oh! Ohh!”
I fussed, not knowing what to do with the sensation of my body growing stronger.
The demon nodded with a satisfied expression and clapped.
My first absorption. My first encounter. And my first laughter and first hug.
“Well done. You’re doing really well.”
She said those words to me, and dawn was breaking.
Just as she had taken me out of the mansion, the demon instantly returned me to my room.
“Well, it’s time to say goodbye.”
In the dim sunlight, perched on the windowsill, she waved.
Her form grew fainter and fainter as the sun rose.
I felt like I was going to cry.
Wasn’t it darkest just before dawn?
“You’ll come again, right?”
Anyone would call her a demon, but that was ultimately someone else’s words.
To me, she was the dawn.
She smiled brightly, like dew, and asked,
“Do you like me that much?”
“I want to see you again.”
It was embarrassing to say I liked her.
But I wanted her to hold me again.
I wanted her to tell me jokes with a smile and hold me tight.
The demon nodded and said,
“Alright, let’s meet again next time. I hope you’ll have grown into a bit more of a demon by then.”
“Yes. I’ll become a splendid demon.”
I rubbed my eyes, feeling tears welling up, and when I looked up, the demon on the windowsill was gone.
She had startled me with her appearance, and now she had vanished with a mischievous flair.
I stroked the windowsill, vowing to meet the demon again.
I would definitely become a splendid demon.
A demon of sex, more cruel than anyone else.
“Evan! Evan! Don’t tell me you’re still asleep in the attic! Get out here!”
Someone was calling my name.
I knew who it was.
Those bastards I no longer feared.
Those fucking bastards.
I replied in a bright voice,
“Yes! I’ll be right down!”
