Chapter 214: The Succubus and the Guard (7)
Fucking the succubus was important. But first, I had to get a handle on the situation.
I knew for a fact that I had been dreaming until just a moment ago. But was I still in a dream? Since I was in a room at the Hunter Guild instead of my familiar bedroom, I figured I must still be in dreamland.
"Is this my dream?"
"That's right."
"How did you get in here, Mehya?"
"It's a secret... I'll tell you later. For now, let's just say I've had a similar experience."
To someone who didn't know the backstory, her words would have been useless, but to me, they were the clearest explanation possible.
Mehya was an alpha female who had crossed over from the Gender-Reversed World to this eroge world. Thanks to her experiences back then, she was able to identify the boundary between dreams and reality and intervene.
"Hehehe. The Kingdom's youngest Sword Master is quite arrogant. What makes you think this is your dream?"
"Mehya said it was my dream. I believe her."
"Such touching marital devotion. However, since I'm the one who processed your dream, it's actually mine. Melissa's dream."
"Melissa?"
So she hadn't used a fake name. Come to think of it, Melissa's appearance hadn't changed at all from the dream. Only her outfit was slightly different; her face and breasts were exactly the same.
I was quite satisfied with the scrap of fabric digging into her pussy lips like a high-leg swimsuit. It was a shame I couldn't compare it to the receptionist Melissa, since she always wore long skirts.
"So your name is Melissa."
"Indeed. The Succubus Queen—"
"The Succubus Queen?!"
Mehya gasped in shock.
"I thought the Succubus Queen was just a figure from fairy tales. No, wait, how is a demon even in the human realm in the first place? And isn't the Succubus Queen's name Lilith...?"
"Listen to a succubus until she's finished!"
Melissa shouted, her face flushing bright red. Her wings fluttered violently, as if she were offended.
"I am the great succubus who will one day ascend to the throne! The woman closest to the seat of the Succubus Queen! The revolutionary who will drag down that slut Lilith! That is who I, Melissa, am!"
After spitting out her words like rapid-fire, Melissa stared at us, panting. She seemed to be waiting for a reaction, but all I gathered was that she had a massive inferiority complex toward a succubus named Lilith.
And what was that? 'Slut'? That word felt so out of place coming from a succubus.
"Pfft."
Mehya must have had the same thought, as she openly mocked Melissa. Tears welled up in the corners of Melissa's eyes.
"You dare mock me while trapped in my dream? You think I'm a joke? I treated you well because you seemed like a decent man, but it looks like you've become overconfident. Don't blame me for what happens next; you brought this on yourself."
Melissa glared at me spitefully and pursed her lips.
"Essence Drain!"
Essence Drain? That was a skill I remembered from playing eroges back in the modern world. It was a terrifying skill that sucked out the opponent's HP to restore one's own HP and MP, with a fixed chance of inflicting Charm or Virility Exhaustion.
In eroges where Battle Sex was the main focus, getting hit with Virility Exhaustion meant an immediate Game Over. I couldn't let that happen.
I warily gathered my Aura, but nothing happened. Only Mehya drew her sword to protect me.
"How dare you target my junior! Die!"
Mehya's sword strike didn't reach the succubus. Having dodged by flying high into the air, the succubus looked completely bewildered.
"Why... why didn't it work?"
"What? That wasn't just a threat, you actually used a skill?"
"Junior, are you okay? Do you really feel nothing?"
"I'm fine, so don't worry."
"I suppose so. You're much stronger than me, after all. I worried for nothing."
"I'm more worried about you, Mehya. You're a mother-to-be."
"Junior..."
"Mehya..."
The succubus watching us stomped her feet in mid-air.
"You two are ignoring me!!"
"Oh, you're still here?"
Actually, I had ignored her on purpose to piss her off. A succubus is a dream demon. I didn't know the exact mechanism, but manipulating dreams must require a lot of mental power.
In other words, if I could distract her mind, I might be able to seize control of the dream. It's a classic cliché that always appears in webnovels.
"We need some private couple time, so could you step away for a bit? We haven't known each other long, but it's been pretty good, hasn't it?"
"Eeeek!!!"
Melissa trembled with rage. Realizing my intention, Mehya leaned into my arms and gave me a deep kiss.
"Phew. It feels like it's been a while since we kissed."
"It does. Doesn't this remind you of when we were dating?"
"We spent such happy times together that I can't even remember... when we started dating."
I kissed Mehya ostentatiously. I even went as far as to grope her breasts. At that, the enraged Melissa unleashed her power.
"Hohohoho."
"Have sex with us."
"I'll give you the ultimate pleasure."
"Have you ever tried squirting? Men can squirt too. I'll teach you."
Dozens of beautiful women appeared and began to tempt me. They were all stunning with incredible bodies, drawing my gaze. I was particularly intrigued by the offer to teach me how to squirt.
"Junior..."
"Don't worry. Why would I ever look at another woman when I have you, Mehya?"
"Don't you have quite a track record, though?"
When she hit me with the facts, I had nothing to say. Why was she bringing up such difficult topics when she was the one who encouraged it?
"Anyway."
The women Melissa summoned clung to me cloyingly, but they only served to deepen my connection with Mehya. Even as they touched my collarbones, caressed my chest and nipples, and rubbed their voluptuous breasts against my back, my high-principled cock only felt lust for Mehya.
Actually, I was feeling lust for Melissa too. I couldn't pass up a succubus pussy.
"Hey, Melissa! Stop trying to tempt me with these cheap illusions, come down here, and spread your legs!"
"Eek!!"
Melissa fumed. I found it hard to understand.
"What's the matter? If you're a succubus, shouldn't you be tempting men with your own body? It's not like you're a virgin, so why act so expensive?"
"Who are you calling a virgin!!"
I had just thrown the comment out there, but Melissa overreacted. They say a strong denial is a strong affirmation. Was she actually a virgin?
"A virgin succubus?"
"What kind of nonsense is that?"
"Ugh..."
Melissa couldn't say a word and just bit her lip. Her agitation was so severe that the illusions filling the area vanished.
Mehya, who had been laughing thinking it was a joke, finally realized the truth.
"What? Is it for real? A succubus is a virgin? That's... that's ridiculous. It sounds like a bad April Fool's joke. But that's the reality?"
I was surprised.
"You know about April Fool's Day too, Mehya?"
"It comes around every year, of course I know."
I didn't know that. She doesn't know masterpiece movies or famous quotes, but she knows stuff like this.
"What's wrong with being a virgin! What's so bad about it! Huh?!"
Melissa shed a few tears. Looking at her crying face, I felt a sense of déjà vu. I'd definitely seen her somewhere before.
Ah! Melissa, one of the protagonists from the eroge The Sufferings of a Succubus! It was that Melissa!
Come to think of it, Melissa's declaration about being the Succubus Queen was a line from the original game. Why didn't I realize it sooner? Was it because she was alone, even though there were three of them in the original?
While we stood there in silence, Melissa, who had been feeling embarrassed and angry all on her own, shouted.
"Girls! Come out!"
Two gems that were in my pocket floated up. Even though I hadn't injected any Aura, they moved on their own and flew to Melissa's side.
"♡♡"
—My waist... hurts...
"I told you to disguise yourselves as monsters and take down Sma! What happened?! You should have at least weakened him enough for Essence Drain to work!"
"♡♡♡♡"
"Stop roleplaying as slimes! I can't understand you!"
"Really, now♡ Melissa is such a child♡ Though that's what makes her cute♡."
The succubus who had been the slime—Lime, a woman from the original eroge—licked Melissa's cheek. The Dryad looked at Melissa with a sulky expression.
"Are you... still a virgin...?"
"Of course!"
"I'm... not anymore... so why are you... still...?"
"W-What? Dryad, you're not a virgin anymore? Who did it to you? Don't tell me it was that bastard?!"
A heavily shocked Melissa widened her eyes. But she couldn't have been as shocked as I was.
"Wait, if you two were succubi, was all that talk about purification stones a lie?"
"The purification stones are real."
Mehya reassured me.
"I don't know what you went through in your dream, but those are indeed items obtained by purifying monsters. And succubi are classified as monsters."
"Really?"
"Yes. Though I don't know why succubi have appeared in the world. Unless a Demon Realm Dungeon opens, they're monsters you can't even find in normal dungeons."
This was also news to me. But since there was an Isekai Studio eroge featuring a female Hero protagonist, it wouldn't be strange at all if a Demon Realm Dungeon had opened.
"Anyway, you're saying I can get purification stones even if I purify a succubus?"
"That's right. Don't tell me...?"
Mehya looked aghast. There's a saying that 'don't tell me' often leads to the truth. When I made eye contact with Lime and the Dryad, they bowed their heads as if confirming my thoughts.
"Lime. Dryad. Come here."
"You two aren't actually going to listen to that bastard, are you? No way. We agreed to suck out his yang energy and rank up together!"
"I'm sorry♡"
"The man who took my virginity... I cannot defy him..."
Lime and the Dryad moved to embrace me. Seeing the two succubi, Mehya's face flushed with excitement.
"I knew our junior was amazing, but to think you even purified succubi! You really are the best man! Come here! I'll give you a kiss!"
"I want to kiss too♡ That intense kiss when I was a slime... Haa♡♡ My body is getting hot♡"
"Is kissing... good...? I haven't tried it..."
While I was kissing Mehya, the two succubi hovered around, saying they wanted to join in. I could do it as much as they wanted, but there was still one succubus left, wasn't there?
"I'll do it if you catch her for me."
When I pointed at Melissa, Lime and the Dryad's eyes sparkled.
