105. Yume

105. Yume

“What kind of dream is this?”

As Yume parted the dream curtain and peered inside, a biting cold wind swept across her face, chilling her to the bone. In less than three seconds, her pink eyebrows turned white.

Yume brushed off the snow clinging to her face. It seemed she needed to brace herself a bit before entering.

“Hoo, alright, let’s go in!”

Yume shouted energetically and leaped into the curtain. A pure white snowfield, covered in soft snow, greeted her. Her ankles sank into the snow, and the fierce blizzard made it difficult to even open her eyes.

And then….

CRASH!!

“Kyaaak?!?”

A white sword energy of unknown origin flashed past Yume’s side. Snow and dirt scattered, and with a crunching sound, her uniform was cut in half and fell to the ground.

Her naked body was exposed.

“W-wait, wait! Succubi die for real if they die in a dream! Help me! Kyaaak?!

As she frantically tried to escape back outside the curtain, something grabbed Yume’s ankle. Her body, trying to flee, tilted forward and collapsed into the snowdrift, the cold of the snow seeping into her bare skin.

“P-please save me! Anyone! Please!”

Sensing her imminent death, Yume curled up and prayed to the heavens. However, whether by misfortune or good fortune, the impact she expected never came, no matter how long she waited.

Yume slowly opened her eyes, which she had closed.

“Are you okay?”

“Huk….”

White hair, perky wolf ears. And a fluffy, swaying tail.

It was none other than Skadi who was holding Yume.

“Sorry. I got lost in thought while hunting a monster….”

“Ah, no. I’m fine! … Are you perhaps trying to catch me too?”

Although they often looked similar to humans, succubi were also a type of monster. While the other party didn’t seem to know that, Yume felt the need to be sure.

“Of course not. Why would I catch a perfectly fine person?”

“Th-that’s a relief. Phew….”

Relieved, Yume looked Skadi up and down.

A mature yet still youthful face. A height that seemed not yet fully grown. Her fluffy tail also had a more childlike quality than the original outside the dream.

Perhaps it was Skadi in her adolescence. She looked about 13 to 14 years old.

It seemed that memories from her transitional period into adulthood were being projected into the dream.

While Yume was estimating the time period of the dream, adolescent Skadi helped Yume to her feet and said.

“Let’s go to my mansion first. If you’re injured, I’ll treat you.”

“Yes, yes.”

Yume picked up the torn uniform and draped it roughly over her upper body. Her exposed nakedness was partially covered, though not completely. The cold subsided.

Skadi asked.

“Um, that outfit….”

“Yes?”

“Is it… normal for everyone to go around undressed like that?”

“… What?”

Wasn’t it her who had cut the clothes? Yume’s eyes twitched as she asked back. Skadi continued without paying attention.

“Lately, my sister has also been walking around in front of me undressed… I was wondering if it’s normal for everyone to do that. Sorry.”

“….”

Yume closed her mouth.

It seemed the change in the sisters’ relationship had occurred earlier than expected. Judging by their ages, they seemed to be only a few years apart from being close sisters, but what could have happened between them in that time?

Do I need to know?

Although it was a shame not to have witnessed what happened, it wasn’t a major problem not to see it. It was more important to consider how to cast mental magic on this wolf beastman.

Yume recalled her employer’s request. The command was to make her sister fall in love with her. In other words… hypnotic pure love.

Pure love… Pure love, but isn’t it not pure love when the word ‘hypnosis’ is involved?

Since she said it was okay, it must be okay.

Yume headed to the mansion, guided by Skadi.

On the way, they saw snowfields with large scars. Although their shapes were unclear because it was a dream, the plains were filled with what appeared to be monster corpses. The sheer quantity made her instinctively shrink back.

… I shouldn’t get cocky.

Yume abandoned her plan to brainwash the Grand Duchess and put her under her control. She knew she was strong, but she was stronger than she had expected. She decided she should just do her job and escape, Yume thought, and arrived at the mansion.

The mansion was unchanged from the previous dream. Except for one thing: the servants who were supposed to attend to the Duchess were nowhere to be seen.

It would be strange if there were only a few, but if there were none at all, it was odd.

Is it because it’s a dream…? No, it feels different from that.

Arriving at a room in the mansion with unresolved questions, Yume found herself in the room where Freya had been lying in the previous dream.

“Freya will be here soon. Please sit here for a moment.”

“Yes… What is this book?”

Several books were placed on the desk in the room.

The books could be classified into two types: one was a book titled “Introduction to Life Spells and Magic Theory,” which made her head ache just by looking at the cover, and the other was….

… Yuri?

No matter how she looked at it, it was a GL erotic novel.

“Ah, that’s a book Mother gave to my sister about two years ago. She said she was teaching her some kind of… magic, but I don’t know much about that.”

“… This one too?”

Yume picked up a book with a cover depicting a naked woman and said.

“Yes.”

“… Really?”

“Of course. I still remember Mother giving it to Freya with a bright smile. It was exactly that cover.”

What a dysfunctional family.

Yume nodded in agreement.

[How’s it going?]

“Ah, yes. Please wait a moment. It’s almost done.”

Receiving Freya’s impatient prompt from outside the dream, Yume prepared to cast her mental magic. The vital energy extracted from the Death Knight gathered in her hands, glowing black.

If she placed this on the opponent’s head, it would be over….

“Hieek?!”

But before the magic could be fully cast, something squeezed Yume’s chest. The sudden stimulation scattered the gathered vital energy, which then flowed backward and began to wreak havoc within Yume’s body.

“Ah, sorry… Well, Freya said it’s common for women to do this.”

“Hgeuk!”

“Are you okay?”

Yume’s body convulsed from the vital energy rampaging inside her, with no intention of stopping. As if electrocuted, her muscles contracted and relaxed involuntarily, twisting her body erratically.

“Ughhh.”

“Are you… hurt? What’s wrong?”

“Hieek!”

When Skadi placed her hand on Yume’s shoulder, Yume’s body trembled. Her heightened senses, made even more sensitive by the vital energy’s reflux, reacted intensely to the touch.

“Hngh, Nngh!”

Every time the air in the mansion, the fabric covering her body, or anything in the world brushed against her, an intense sensation shot up her spine. Electricity flowed through her, causing her body to move involuntarily, and this in turn inflicted greater stimulation upon Yume’s body. Yume’s lips continued to let out moans.

Yume’s legs trembled uncontrollably. Her moist groin had already wet the bed she was sitting on. Her face flushed red. Her breath came in hot pants. Her senses seemed to have become hundreds of times more acute.

I-I need to focus on control…!

Amidst the chaotic situation, Yume tried to stop the vital energy rampaging inside her, but her efforts were in vain when Skadi lightly touched the hardened center of her breast.

“Hgeek?!♡”

“Ah, sorry. I was curious and touched it… I’ll call Freya right away, so please wait a moment!”

Skadi tried to leave the room, leaving Yume dripping saliva from both above and below. However, something grabbed Skadi’s arm and stopped her.

It was Yume’s arm.

“Um, could you let go? I’ll bring her right back….”

“No… You don’t have to go.”

There are two possibilities when magic backfires.

One is dying from the body exploding from the backlash of energy, and the other is….

“Master♡”

A pink, glowing vulva appeared slightly below Yume’s navel, and Yume looked at Skadi with hearts in her eyes.

Her blue eyes that held the sky, her charismatic face, her perky wolf ears, her fluffy tail.

Her tightly closed lips, her well-defined nose, and even the baby fat that hadn’t quite disappeared-

Everything about Skadi seemed lovely and beautiful. So much so that she felt she could do anything for her, even sacrifice her life.

Yume herself thought it was quite effective magic, given how much her mind had changed.

“There’s something glowing on your stomach… Are you okay?”

“Yes, of course. This is to show my love for my Master.”

“No… I’m not your Master.”

Proudly displaying her vulva, Yume pulled Skadi towards her and laid her down on the bed. She then lay down on the bed herself.

Skadi was now on top of Yume.

[What are you doing? What are you doing?]

“Master♡”

“Uh oh….”

[Hey! What are you doing?!]

Ignoring Freya’s enraged shout, Yume kissed her beloved Master’s lips. Her rosy tongue slipped between her lips, mixing their sticky saliva.

“Ngh… Nngh♡”

“Ugh….”

[What are you doing! Can’t you hear me? I’ll blow up your head! Hey!]

No matter how much Freya threatened, Yume did not reply. Instead, seductive moans could be heard.

[Stop!!]

No matter how desperately Freya screamed, only the sticky moans echoed through Freya’s communication until dawn.
