Chapter 247: A Suspiciously Large Number of Virgin Succubi (3)
Realistically, managing two thousand succubi all by myself was impossible.
It was doable in theory, but keeping them all to myself would only make others salivate with envy.
-Whoa! Two thousand virgin succubi!
-How many of them are you going to deflower? I, Jujiheart, will gladly stand tall—and hard—for the succubi's first time!
The commoners—specifically, the men—were currently in heat.
Up until now, Fermaton had strictly controlled sexual relations with succubi.
To clarify, the "prostitute succubi" who slept with commoners were either those who had been prostitutes in the past or those who specifically desired direct sexual contact with humans.
In other words, the virgin succubi had only been working as clerks in AV magic stone rental shops or in massage parlors where they extracted human essence through dreams.
The virgin succubi would continue to work in places where direct intercourse did not occur.
However, with an abrupt increase of two thousand, people were bound to start drooling.
Common sense dictated that no one would imagine two thousand people had been reincarnated as succubi; most would simply think, "They must have over-hunted the succubi that spawned in massive numbers within the Infinite Labyrinth."
At the same time, given the sheer number of succubi, they were eagerly anticipating how many of them would be turned into non-virgins.
-Please use me! I’ll pluck those cherries for all to see!
Now that everyone knew I wasn't particularly interested in taking the succubi's first times myself, they were all clamoring for the chance to do it themselves.
"Count. What are you going to do? Are you going to grant their requests?"
"Half of them."
I placed sixteen chess pieces in front of Laura.
I gathered only the black pieces and arranged them on the board; there was no opponent.
"First, following Charlotte’s suggestion, I turned the most obedient succubi into maids. Most of them have already spread across the world to serve various rulers."
I moved the King piece forward first.
"From the newly crowned King Julius to dukes, marquises, counts, and barons. I offered a succubus dispatch to every person in this country who has a bit of a reputation."
In short, I was basically telling everyone to "give succubi a try."
"Everyone will use their succubus differently. Some might use them to maintain a constant state of Sage Time, while others might use them as educational materials for sex ed."
"But won't most of them use them for... that purpose?"
"Exactly. If you have a virgin succubus in front of you and you don't have sex with her, you're either impotent or gay."
Or perhaps a person of such integrity that they refuse to accept a gift of a demonkind like a succubus.
"In reality, about seventy percent of the nobles accepted the succubus maids. A surprisingly high number of noble houses actually refused the dispatch."
"That’s unexpected. I thought everyone would be dying to sleep with a succubus."
"I suppose the blow to their public image for sleeping with demonkind—even if they're essentially slaves—is too great? Besides, people in those positions don't necessarily need to call in a succubus just to get laid."
Accepting a succubus maid could only be interpreted as a pure desire to "deflower a succubus."
And later, after having sex a few times and getting bored, some might try to ship them right back to Fermaton.
That was a very high possibility.
Humans are the type of creatures who claim they never received a package just to report the delivery driver, or finish an entire meal only to find some absurd fault and demand a refund.
I didn't think the nobles of this world were any different.
However, there was only one effect I wanted to achieve by spreading succubus maids.
"Once they get a taste of sleeping with a succubus, they might come to Fermaton for sex tourism."
"Then later, they'll want to sleep with other magical creatures, not just succubi?"
"Exactly. If any of the Sirens want to sell their bodies, they can. And it won't just be Sirens; we can capture the creatures from deeper underground and use them as slaves... I mean, laborers."
"So eventually, Fermaton will see an increase in tourists coming specifically to sleep with demonkind."
"Precisely."
Lowering the psychological hurdle so they wouldn't feel repulsed by the idea of bedding demonkind.
And ultimately, ensuring there wouldn't be a massive backlash against sleeping with "Monmus."
-Hey! As long as she's a woman you can bed, what's there to be so picky about? For just 10 Ruji Coins, you can have an all-night stand with a succubus!
-I'm here to bang a Siren, though?
-Really? Then you want to split the fee with me? We can do a 2:2 swapping play.
-You crazy bastard, I knew you were off ever since you said you wanted to sleep with a succubus!
-What? You're the one who wants to sleep with a Siren!
...Well, it was obvious that all sorts of problems would erupt.
Since there had never been a brothel officially operated by a lord like this before, it was certain that confusing issues—even for me—would arise.
Still, considering the need to expand the use of Ruji Coins and the necessity of mass-producing Mana Milk using libido once the Infinite Labyrinth eventually disappears, the Monmus brothels needed to be established in Fermaton—and the world.
"This many of the succubi will receive customers at the brothels. Since they work in a 'sacred' profession, they're priestesses of the flesh."
I moved two Bishops to the side.
"And we need succubi to manage them and ward off the creepy hands reaching for them. These will all be soldiers and guards directly affiliated with Fermaton, responsible for our 'military power.'"
I grabbed a Rook and a Knight simultaneously and pulled them forward.
"One side for internal security, the other to prepare for enemies coming from outside. We'll utilize them as soldiers."
"...So this is essentially the 'main' part of the plan."
"Yes. It's an extension of everything I've been doing so far."
Publicly acting like a sex-crazed maniac while actually building up Fermaton's strength.
The succubi might look like prostitutes on the surface, but in reality, they are Fermaton's 'army.'
"By the time people realize it, it'll be too late. We'll have already formed a powerful demon legion that neither the Kingdom nor the Empire can touch. Hehehe."
"Aren't you worried people will start calling you a 'Demon King'?"
"The only ones who would slander me as a Demon King are people like Sirjosia, right? I can fight those types as much as I want. I won't back down."
There was no reason to back down.
"And this many will become direct maids within Fermaton Castle."
I grabbed the Queen and moved it elsewhere.
"The human maids, including Amy, will handle the sex rooms, while the succubus maids will handle the rest of the mansion's duties."
"So succubi have taken over most of the human domains."
"I learned something from this war."
Humans are, after all, human scum.
Humans are a lot that can't be trusted, and that's why I will run the 'core' of Fermaton with those I can trust more than humans.
"The adventurers, the mercenaries, and even the Magic Tower—none of them moved when Fermaton was in crisis. I realized that a hierarchy built on 'capital' is bound to crumble easily."
It was truly regrettable.
"That's why I intend to make the demonkind a part of our Fermaton. Not as man-killers, but as thoroughly educated individuals who live alongside humans for the sake of Fermaton."
"And what if this place becomes a breeding ground for Halfs later?"
"If that happens, then that too is the fate of this world."
The fate that made me this way.
The reason I reached out to the demonkind was because the humans failed to help me properly.
"I thought everyone in the Fermaton community would fight together during a crisis, but it turns out everyone is more selfish than I thought. If that's the case, they can't walk the same path as me. I don't know what the future holds for them, but I was quite... disappointed this time."
Humans made me this way.
I am not the bad guy.
"I will use whatever I can. Even if it's demonkind."
I gathered the remaining eight Pawns into one spot.
"Succubi have their own individual differences. Just as every human has a role, these remaining succubi need work to do."
"I thought you said you wouldn't make them prostitutes?"
"Right. No prostitutes. A succubus is valuable because their numbers are few."
I couldn't allow myself to devalue the price of a succubus's pussy.
"These succubi will be completely different from the existing ones. They will become very productive and excellent workers for our Fermaton."
"...Specifically, what kind of work?"
"Well, obviously."
With this many virgin succubi, isn't the task already decided?
"Farming."
"...Pardon?"
"They're going to farm. There's farming, and we need to construct buildings. Oh, and it would be nice to build a village too."
"Is... is that some kind of metaphor? Does farming mean 'sowing seeds,' building mean 'starting families,' and the village mean 'creating a place for succubi and commoners to harmonize'?"
"No? I meant it literally."
Succubi.
As long as they had enough essence, they were a race that could work with physical conditions similar to—or even better than—humans.
"I told you. The succubi are Fermaton's laborers."
Succubi of Fermaton.
Pick up your scythes and pickaxes.
"When you can employ workers who are better than humans for a cheap price, of course the succubi should be the farmers and miners, shouldn't they?"
