Continuing to be called “mother” by the succubus twins, being called “mom” by Grace feels somewhat new.

Next, I had to tell Grace everything she needed to learn.

“Now that you have acquired magic, you should practice controlling it, right?”

“Oh, magic. I’ve never had magic before…”

Wild animals do not inherently possess magic. Their skills are based on their physical abilities, so they do not require magic.

If an animal were to possess magic, it would be treated as a low-grade demon.

If a regular animal were to possess magic, it could cause chaos in its ecosystem and become a target for human subjugation.

I roughly explained the sensation to Grace, who was experiencing magic for the first time.

“First, try to feel the energy flowing within your body. Your body will naturally begin to understand how to use that energy.”

“Well… I think I understand a little…”

As Grace closed her eyes to sense the energy, she quickly detected the magic. Given the amount of magic within her body, it would have been impossible not to feel it.

“Okay. Now try using it to release from your body. Watch me and try to follow.”

I demonstrated one of Grace’s skills, the ice shard.

The ice shard flew and embedded itself into the wall.

“Now, give it a try.”

“Um… okay…”

Grace reached towards the wall, gathering magic to create an ice shard.

“Wait…!”

But perhaps due to concentrating with her eyes closed, the size became too large.

The enormous ice shard, or rather, ice pillar, flew towards the wall.

I couldn’t dispel it in time, and the pillar struck the wall, creating a web-like pattern.

“…”

“…I’m, I’m sorry…”

I just stared at the broken wall absentmindedly.

It’s the first time using magic, so I understand that it will consume more magic to restore it…

Well, let’s leave that aside for now. After roughly repairing the wall, I taught Grace some useful skills.

Among them, I focused on body modification.

“Alright, think of using magic to change your body structure. With this method, you can hide your ears and tail, or even change your appearance back to your original form.”

After hearing the explanation, Grace tried returning to her previous form.

However, her previous cute appearance was gone, and instead, she had transformed into a more mature and elegant figure.

“Oh, beautiful. Well done. Now try transforming into a human form.”

Following my instructions, Grace transformed into a human form.

Her animal-like ears and tail disappeared, her claws became ordinary, and although her teeth were still sharp, I didn’t pay much attention to others’ teeth, so I let that be.

“Okay! Well done! This level of body modification should hide your true form without any issues.”

“Yes. But it feels a bit uncomfortable, although not painful, as if my bones are twisting.”

“Well, that’s true. But you’ll get used to it over time. Even I, while my torso is that of a snake, when I transform into a human, my legs split into two. It still feels a bit awkward.”

That’s how I roughly explained the usage of the remaining skills and then moved on to the dressing room.

There, I found equipment that suited Grace’s current appearance and brought it to her.

Among the available items, I dressed her in the most worn-out adventurer-style gear, and then I teleported us both back to the field where we first met.

From there, we set off towards the neighboring village.

While walking, Grace asked me, “Mom, are demons beings opposed to humans?”

“Hmm, that’s a good question. You can oppose it. You can coexist. It’s up to you. For example, your sisters, the succubi, have to coexist with humans. Because they feed on human energy. But you don’t need to do that. You can just do as you please.”

“Do as I please? My original parents were killed by humans. I have to seek revenge for them, even if it’s for their sake.”

“You can kill humans. I won’t stop you. But indiscriminate killing is considered a serious offense even among humans, so you shouldn’t rashly kill people. And not all humans are bad. Bad humans can be killed, but there’s no need to kill useful and kind humans. You can make them join our side.”

“I see… But I can’t forgive those humans who killed my parents… I still remember, their smell…”

Grace muttered with a grim expression. Her sharp eyes made her look quite terrifying.

Of course, to me, she looked cute even like that.

Seeing her face and seriousness, I could tell how much hatred Grace felt towards those humans.

It would be especially nice to make those humans taste hell firsthand.

I then asked Grace.

“So, you probably wouldn’t regret becoming a demon, right?”

“…”

Grace seemed to be deep in thought.

How many minutes passed like that?

Grace organized her thoughts and answered me.

“I… will never regret it.”

“Why?”

“Because Reyna gave me a new chance… She’s my mother. She gave me stronger abilities and this new body than before, so I can’t possibly regret it. If I properly take revenge on those humans who killed my original parents, I won’t have any regrets. After that, I’ll continue to follow Mom.”

“Yes. Very commendable, our daughter.”

So I listened to the answer and stroked Grace’s head. Of course, I had to stroke her head with my crow’s feet because I was currently in the form of a human.

Grace blushed as I stroked her. If she still had a tail, it would have continued to sway from side to side.

“Oh, I want to touch your ears. Should I have just left your tail too?”

But I couldn’t do that. If someone saw a person with animal ears and a tail passing by, they would think it was strange.

Always be careful, very careful. You can’t let your guard down.

I never imagined Lucy would see me transforming in Lily’s room, suppressing the thugs through the hole in the wall.

… By the way, the succubus twins are doing well, right?

= = = = = =

In addition to the twins, there were two other people, or rather creatures, in the twins’ house.

They were bowing in a dogeza position on the floor, legs crossed in front of them, facing Lily and Lucy who were sitting next to each other.

Lily asked them sternly.

“Now, say it again. Who am I?”

“You are our great succubus queen, Lily!”

“And what is the purpose of your existence?”

“Of course, to serve you, Lily, and the existence of Jigo, Lady Reyna!”

“Hmph, you all know it well. Then let’s start working in earnest from today. How should we proceed, Hanna?”

Hanna was originally a receptionist at the Adventurer’s Guild. In fact, she was the receptionist who issued the adventurer’s certificate to Reyna.

She ended up becoming a monster after being led by Lily in the form of Reyna, having suffered all the humiliation that a woman could endure and finally understanding the pleasure of being a woman.

“Through seduction, we attract men to take their vitality, and women are brought to you or Lady Lucy to be corrupted into succubi!”

Still in the dogeza position, Hanna shouted.

“Okay, Hanna knows it well. You must have understood it well too, Jessie? Just do that. Just try to disappoint. That day will be your special day. Hooheehee”

-Kkuuk

While praising Hanna for giving the right answer, Lucy threatened Jessie by pressing her head, which was in the same dogeza posture as Hanna’s, with her foot.

“Hu… huu… ♡ Nngh…♡ Haa…♡”

Jessie was originally a bully in the neighborhood. However, after Louis became Succubus Lucy, she not only gave Jessie a true education but also pushed the succubus’s abilities to the limit, playing with Jessie like a toy.

As a side effect, Jessie developed a masochistic tendency and, in turn, felt extreme pleasure when stepped on by Lucy.

“Hoohee…♡ Ah… Mistress Lucy…♡ Step harder… Please step harder… Ah… Wait…♡”

-Pushuuuuuuu

Unable to endure the pleasure, Jessie created a puddle of light yellow liquid on the floor.

Seeing this, Lucy mocked Jessie pitifully while scolding him.

“Haha! You’ve become a complete pervert, haven’t you? What should I do with you? There are still more rewards I can give you, you know? If you work hard and show results… I might even give you several at once…”

“At once… Several… Haaaah…♡♡♡”

Just imagining it, Jessie lost himself again, exhaling steam from his nose on the floor.

Seeing this, Rilis sighed, looking at him pitifully.

“Sigh… Is it okay to continue like this…?”
