Succubus and Goddess Epilogue (3): Demon King Army Disbandment

"You know our situation all too well, don't you, Mari?"

"Yes... my queen."

Not long after Ishtar returned to her own world, the two succubi met to settle their affairs once and for all. Bianca, exuding a demonic king's majesty for the first time in ages, held her nose high, while the succubus Mari knelt before her with a far softer, more pliant demeanor than before.

"I've given my body and soul to become Master Hoyoung's retainer. Even if it's unlikely, if he orders me to kill you, I'll do it without hesitation."

"Yes... I know."

"Well, you weren't personally trained by him, so you probably can't grasp his greatness. Words can't do it justice, but that man is~"

And so began Bianca's thirty-minute ode of praise. Starting with how incredibly handsome Kim Hoyoung was, she went on about the majesty of his cock, his noble character, even myths of his birth—dragging in every tale under the sun until her speech showed no sign of ending.

Mari's soles began to ache from kneeling so long.

"Um, my queen... when is this going to end?"

"Huh? We haven't even started yet. Let me explain in detail why Master Hoyoung's glans is so special first."

"N-no, that's not why we're here today, is it?"

"Huh? But this is the ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠really important stuff! Master Hoyoung's glans is, you see~ different from other men's."

"No no no. We gathered to decide on our survival, didn't we?"

"Tch. Fine, can't be helped. This was the truly important part, aaaah~"

Mari cut her off before it dragged on forever. Bianca cleared her throat and gazed down at her most trusted subordinate with a solemn expression.

Mari's appearance had changed dramatically too. Her horns were nearly sawn off, hidden under her hair, and the ferocious killer who'd slain humans by the ten thousands now sported the timid face of a virgin.

This woman... had originally been the Demon King.

Demon King Marique, the devil incarnate with a ram's face and a giant's body. After Bianca drained his essence and remade him into a girl, he'd served as her right hand for thousands of years. Mari had always fought in Bianca's major battles.

And now... it was time to let her go.

Strangely, Bianca felt no real regret.

"…………"

The Demon King Army that had dominated the vast Western Continent dissolved just like that. The iron fortress that imperial armies and mages couldn't touch vanished with a single word from Bianca.

"So... it comes to this. I expected as much."

"From the start, you and I are too weak now. If we went back to the Western Continent, we'd just get revenge-fucked by all the guys we tormented. Especially you."

"Yes... You're still strong, my queen. Not like before, but right now, the only demon stronger than you is Ishtar. But not me... I'd be dead meat back in the demon realm."

Adding up her reign as Demon King Marique and her time as Bianca's right hand, Mari had lorded over others as a conqueror for tens of thousands of years. Plenty of factions harbored grudges against her. Like it or not, she had no choice but to live in the human world now.

"Yeah. So what'll you do? Want me to ask Master Hoyoung if you can live at his place? He's got tons ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠of empty rooms."

"N-no. That man's too scary..."

"Nah, once you get to know him, he's super sweet. I'll put in a good word."

"Really, it's fine. Besides, you're not exactly in a position to ask him for favors, are you?"

"Ugh."

She'd hit the nail on the head. Bianca had just been bluffing in front of her old subordinate; she had no intention of begging Kim Hoyoung for a spare room.

"I'm gonna ask someone I got trained with to hook me up with a job."

"Huh? A job? Doing what?"

"Police."

"Po... lice?"

Mari mentioned a woman named Kim Dahyeon she'd met in the training room, saying she'd already secured her a spot at the station.

"She said she's the police chief and will back me up."

"Police chief? That's high up? But can you even do the job?"

"Dahyeon said it's just playing ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠games on some computer thing, eating jjajangmyeon for lunch, and pocketing the salary?"

"No idea what that means. Anyway, sounds like it'll work out. Congrats."

"Yes... thank you."

Mari said she'd stay in the police dorms and started packing. Their 7,000-year friendship ended in an instant. Bianca, in an un-demonic act, helped her pack to show respect for her top subordinate.

"Well then, I'll be off, my queen."

"I'm not your queen anymore."

Bianca flashed her fangs in a refreshing grin.

"Right. So... Bianca... miss?"

"Yeah, call me that. Thanks for everything till now. Take care!"

"You too, Bianca."

Mari bowed and vanished.

Suddenly, Bianca recalled rampaging across the Western Continent with Mari. She'd thought they'd pair up forever. Who knew they'd end up going separate ways?

She stood there long after Mari left, feeling an inexplicable emptiness.

Old memories flooded back, making it hard to shake the sentimental mood. Bianca wiped her tears with her sleeve, turned her back to the sunset, and took heavy steps away.

She'd learned that even eternal friendships end someday.

If I'd kept ruling as Demon King, would Mari and I have parted?

Did she leave because I'm weak now?

What does she really think of me like this?

She wanted to ask, but Mari was gone. With no destination, she wandered until dusk fell before heading home.

Not a gloomy castle with bats, but an ordinary family home.

"I'm back, Master Hoyoung. I saw Mari off."

"Please, Hoyoung! Mom hasn't had sex in eight hours already! Why are you neglecting me today? Neglect play? Please ram your son's massive cock into Mommy's pussy!"

"Oppa! I swear I won't act cocky with you anymore! Let me masturbate sniffing your glans scent! Please!"

"Both of you, quiet down today."

As soon ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠as she opened the door, two women knelt begging. Kim Hoyoung ignored them, reading his book, then waved happily at Bianca.

"Oh, Bianca. Welcome back."

"Yes... Master Hoyoung."

Her shoulders slumped more than usual, eyelids drooping sadly. Even greeting her beloved master, she couldn't hide her gloom. Seeing Kim Jiwon and Kim Hea-e rejected, she assumed today was off-limits and tried slipping into the shadows—her living space.

Blood mother and sister ignored? Master probably wasn't in the mood for sex. She overthought and tried retreating.

"Where do you think you're going? I've been waiting for you all day."

"Huh?"

"Haven't cum once today."

"Huh?"

Semen ages like fine wine—the longer held, the richer. A day's worth from the insatiable Kim Hoyoung... a succubus delicacy she couldn't pass up.

"Can I... really have it? For real? Me?"

Kim Hea-e and Kim Jiwon shot jealous, teary glares.

"It's fine. You're looking down today, right?"

"...Huh?"

"Bummed about your friend leaving? I'll comfort you with sex, so come here."

"No way... you held back all day... for me?"

"Yeah."

Ah. This man... how does he always... save me like this, over and over.

No way she couldn't devote her life in return.

"Ugh... *sob*..."

"Don't cry. Come suck it. Paizuri's fine too."

"Yes! Right away, Master Hoyoung! I'll suck while titfucking!"

"Sounds good."

Her gloom vanished like magic. Her steps to his cock felt feather-light.

"Slurrrrp♡ Slurrrrp! Fucking delicious! So fucking good!!"

"Mari'll be fine. Kim Dahyeon's got real power in the police. Easy job."

"Don't care about Mari anymore♡ I just need you, Master Hoyoung! For real!"

"Glad you're feeling better."

"Thank you, Master. My beloved Master...♡ Ahh, this cock's too good. Can't live without it now!"

Bianca's heart swelled with gratitude. Her master cared about her. That alone erased all lingering regrets.

She cleanly cut ties with her past, embracing her life as his shadow-dwelling retainer with pride.

A million times happier than her Demon King days.
