Chapter 248: A Suspiciously Large Number of Virgin Succubi (4)
Chapter 248: A Suspiciously Large Number of Virgin Succubi (4)
A massive number of succubi had been observed within the Fermaton territory.
While no one knew the secret of how so many succubi had been secured while preparing for the territorial war, it was an undeniable fact that their numbers had exploded.
"Does this mean we can just have sex with succubi left and right?"
As expected, as soon as people heard the news of the increased succubus population, they jumped to the conclusion that the availability of services involving them would skyrocket.
"Brothels will expand, Dream Factories will multiply, and eventually, there'll even be vacant succubus massage rooms. Man, what a windfall."
According to common sense, it was the natural progression of things.
According to those watching the entrance of the Infinite Labyrinth, thousands of succubi—with only slight exaggeration—had poured out into the world.
"But what happened to the prisoners captured from the Sirjosia territory? Not the ones who surrendered immediately, but the ones who fought to the end before giving up."
"Don't you know? I bet they're all being milked dry by the succubi right now."
"What? Then those succubi aren't virgins anymore?"
"...They're just draining essence. Thinking about it that way is a bit... If those succubi came out after killing the prisoners, it might be a little scary to have sex with them."
Watching them gulp down soup when no one had even thought of giving them bread, those who knew the truth couldn't help but let out hollow laughs.
"Just wait until the brothels expand. Hehe, I'm going to run straight there, call three succubi, line them up on all fours, and put them on rotating shifts on my cock."
"Dream on. I'm planning to take two succubi, make them kiss each other, and plow them both from left to right!"
"I kind of want to try a 'Succubus Defense' scenario."
"""Gwahaha! Long live Ruji Fermaton!"""
For a while, they preached their individual tastes in succubus sex. But then...
"Hey. The number of succubi added to the brothels isn't even a hundred."
"What... did you say...?"
"That's impossible. I saw over a thousand succubi being brought out of the Infinite Labyrinth. How can there be fewer than a hundred?"
"Did Ruji Fermaton stash them away? No, wait, the succubi belong to Ruji Fermaton anyway, so saying he 'stashed' them is a bit nonsensical, but still, something is weird!"
Where did all those succubi go?
While everyone was on high alert, wondering where the missing succubi had vanished to, some were spotted.
"Hey, the succubi are being exported!!"
"Exported...?"
The export of succubi.
Ruji Fermaton was strengthening ties by sending carefully selected succubi to other territories, influential figures, and even the Royal Family.
"Wait, why is he giving away such precious succubi as gifts?"
"Isn't it because he's a noble? Nobles exchange gifts all the time."
"A noble... I see. He's letting the other nobles have a taste."
"It's a waste, but since it's only a few, maybe it's fine. Surely the remaining succubi will be given to us? They will. They have to."
The citizens fully understood the succubi being spread across the country.
"Then what about the rest?"
"Hey! All the succubi are wearing maid uniforms and working at Fermaton Castle!"
"What?! Succubi in maid uniforms?!"
"So, do they get to have sex with them?!"
"It... doesn't look like it!"
The virgin succubi, who were not engaging in sex, became maids and were deployed throughout the Count of Fermaton's castle.
They began performing all the basic necessities of the Fermaton household—cooking, cleaning hallways, and doing laundry.
"Isn't it going to be a total turn-on every time someone goes to the Lord's Castle? I saw those succubus maid uniforms, and the skirts barely cover half their thighs!"
"Seeing their panties while they clean must be a given, right? Damn, even I want to work at Fermaton Castle now."
"So when are they going to release the prostitute succubi?"
Most people accepted the fact that Fermaton was using succubi as maids.
"If we wait just three nights, they'll expand the brothels, right?"
"Hey! I heard they're using succubi as guards and soldiers in Fermaton!"
"...What? That's a bit much."
"Look over there, it's the succubus soldiers!"
Clank, clank.
With horns on their heads, wings fluttering, and tails extending behind them, succubi dressed in hard, black uniforms began patrolling the streets carrying spears like actual guards.
"I'm used to seeing those dull lumps of armor, but seeing those sexy ladies on patrol is a real feast for the eyes."
"I want to be restrained by a succubus. I bet they're wearing white shirts and hard-core lingerie under those uniforms, right? They have to be."
"Using succubi as guards and soldiers... Haha, at this rate, he'll be forming an entire army of demons to fight."
"So when are the prostitute succubi coming out?"
Many people were willing to overlook the use of succubi for public security.
However.
"Ah, this is getting boring. Cut the crap and bring out the succubus whores already!"
"If you captured that many succubi, you should distribute them for us adventurers!"
"We have Ruji Coins too! It's not like we mercenaries don't have money! We can't just keep pulling waiting numbers and sitting around to have sex with a succubus!"
When there was no sign of the succubus brothels expanding despite the long wait, public opinion began to sour.
And as if to quell this sentiment, Fermaton sent a large number of succubi outside the outer walls.
"Ooh! Are those succubi going to have sex with people now... Huh? Where are they going?"
"Why are they going outside? What? Why aren't they going into the brothels? Why are they going over there?"
"...What is happening right now?"
People who saw about a thousand succubi heading out followed them.
And then, they saw it.
"That's..."
"Just... farmers...?"
Dressed in clothes like peasant women gleaning the fields.
They saw succubi wielding sickles to cut wheat and plowing the earth with harrows.
"No, how can this be! They're succubi! Why are you using succubi for things like that!"
"This cannot be! Let's go to the Count's castle immediately!"
Eventually.
"What about my expectations! I've saved up so much money just to have sex with succubi, so what the hell is this!"
The citizens formed a sort of representative group and headed for the Lord's Castle.
"Let us have sex with the succubi!"
They boldly shouted their demand to Ruji Fermaton.
"Oh dear."
Ruji Fermaton had only one answer for them.
"Succubi are not beings meant only to spread their legs for men."
It was a shocking statement, something one would hardly believe came from Ruji Fermaton.
"I am not a pimp, so why would I order succubi to act as prostitutes for all the people of Fermaton? To me, Ruji Fermaton, before they are succubi, they are my precious labor force."
Ruji Fermaton's answer was completely at odds with the existing 'common sense.'
"Then would you rather dig the ground, reclaim the land, and farm wheat and apples yourselves? Are you going to take over the farms and orchards?"
At those words, the people couldn't find a way to respond.
They only wanted to do easy work; they had absolutely no intention of doing hard labor.
* * *
"Tsk. Look at these bastards trying to slide a fork onto the table when they've just been sucking honey in the back."
"It might be more bluntly accurate to say they're trying to slide a dick into a succubus's body."
Zenith mocked the 'representatives' who had just left Fermaton Castle.
"If they were Orcs or Goblins, they wouldn't have even thought about it. Because they're succubi, they let themselves get all worked up thinking they could have sex with them. Of course... you did help create that atmosphere."
Just as Zenith said, I had certainly played a part in setting the mood.
Succubi are dream demons.
Until now, succubi had only been involved in matters related to sex, and no succubus had ever performed any work other than sexual labor.
So, naturally, people thought succubi should do sex-related work.
In a situation where that thought was pervasive, I threw cold water on it by turning the succubi into laborers, throwing everyone into a state of sexual anomie.
"If they just stay still, I'll eventually let them all get laid. Tsk tsk."
"Are you going to blow the virgin premium?"
"The value of a virgin increases the fewer there are, and the virgin succubi working in our Fermaton Castle will be of a different class than ordinary succubi. As a solution to that, I intend to implement this policy."
Since the succubus population has become excessively large, the only way to increase the value of virgin succubi is to increase the number of non-virgin succubi.
"I'm going to hire administrators, Mother."
"Administrators?"
"Yes. Very special administrators that adventurers or mercenaries cannot apply for—only the citizens of Fermaton."
Since the population has grown and a new race has emerged, it's only natural that they require appropriate management.
"The newly hired administrators will manage the succubi outside the outer walls. Even though they are outside, those succubi definitely need management. Specifically... they need 'food'."
Succubi eat food too.
They can eat bread and soup, meat and vegetables.
But just as humans fundamentally need a large amount of water, succubi need something other than water.
"We need administrators who can regularly supply essence to the succubi."
"...So what you're saying is, you're going to hire people to provide cum to the succubi?"
"Exactly."
Always.
"A job where you get paid a massive salary to provide essence to succubi? Isn't that a job valuable enough for any adult male to apply for? Since it's essence, it can be shared through dreams, but depending on their ability, I plan to allow actual sex as well."
Sex presents infinite possibilities for the development of Fermaton.
"For convenience, let's call the title of that administrator 'Ejaculation Manager'."
One day later.
On the first day of recruitment, the competition ratio surpassed 600:1.
