Ch.245Messing with the NPC That Shouldn’t Be Messed With (3)

“Hnngh, Jack. I have… a favor to ask.”

“…Yes, tell me anything. Truly, truly, I’ll do anything.”

It feels terribly unfair to die like this without even spending my first night with the man I just married today. I don’t regret saving Ira at all, but still, it’s just so unfair!

“Earlier, your descendant…”

“Ah, yes. What about him?”

“…I think, maybe. That man might be your reincarnation.”

“What?”

This probably isn’t something I should say to the man who confessed his love to me and accepted my feelings. But what can I do? This is what it means to be a demon. This is my essence.

“I don’t want to give up just because I couldn’t connect with you in this life.”

“…Then, could it be.”

“…I want to try for reincarnation too. So, please share a little more of your essence with me.”

I told Jack what I was thinking. First, I would decompose my soul and body back into demonic energy and die once. Then, while I still had control, I would place a restriction on the demonic energy constituting my body and soul, ensuring that only demons with ‘a connection to me’ could become the next Seven Deadly Sins. And then…

“When I disappear, a nucleus will remain briefly. It’s almost completely shattered now, and the demonic energy is completely drained. Feed it to the white tiger lady over there.”

“…Understood.”

“…Hehe, sorry. On our wedding day, I’m already looking for another man. Do you hate such a woman?”

I said it with a smile, but I was truly sorry. I conveyed those emotions fully, but Jack looked at me seriously, giving me an affectionate gaze and shaking his head.

“No. Even that part of you is charming. I fell for you because you never give up and stay true to your desires.”

“Ah, this is so damn frustrating. Really, if we could just do it once… No, I’d die if we did.”

The demonic energy constituting my body has already started to scatter. The power I activated earlier has already been half-canceled thanks to those holy maidens causing trouble. If I drag this out any longer, I won’t even be able to aim for reincarnation.

“Jack. Then, for the last time…”

“Yes.”

When I closed my eyes and puckered my lips, he came closer and kissed me. Sigh, there were so many other things I really wanted to do. It’s such a shame. I didn’t even want an essence-draining kiss or anything like that.

“…I’m sorry.”

“…I’m sorry.”

This situation where we can only apologize to each other is terrible, but this is the end. I can’t feel any sensation in my lower body anymore, so it must have already disappeared. I immediately closed my eyes and controlled my demonic energy, and my crumbling body gradually returned to pure demonic energy. Ah, this hurts like hell.

“…Jack.”

“Yes.”

“…You have to have… many children. With Ira?”

“I will.”

“…With Miho too?”

“…Yes.”

“…Sniff. You have to have many children, even the ones I would have had?”

“Yes, I’ll tell the holy maiden and Miho too. I’ll definitely seduce the holy maiden.”

“Hehe, then… sniff! I’ll… embrace all your beautiful and kind descendants?”

“…As you wish.”

Unable to hide my overflowing tears, I tell him everything I want, and he says he’ll do it all. Ah, ah. Really. It was so hard to find a good man, I hope reincarnation really works.

And so, I died.

“And that’s why I’m here now! This girl is a collaborative creation of Jack’s essence from that day and my demonic energy!! She’s like our daughter!!!”

“Yes, yes. I understand. Now please, put those lips away.”

I understand the gist of it. So thanks to the ancestor who breathed his essence into her before she died, she’s in a half-successful(?) state of reincarnation. So where’s her soul? And why are you sane despite not having a soul?

“Hmm? Well. They say consciousness resides in the body to begin with, and in my case, it was also near the nucleus. Thanks to becoming a bit more complete, it’s surfaced like this? If I had a soul too, I actually might not lose control of this body to the girl…”

“You just said something I absolutely cannot ignore?! Jack!! I don’t think this lady needs her soul!! She’s dangerous even now?!! This demon tried to take off my panties on her own!!”

The current Luxuria, who had been quiet until now, started screaming that we shouldn’t look for this demon’s soul, when suddenly the demon who had been chattering began to groan. Huh? What’s wrong now?!

“…Ugh, my time’s really up now. I won’t be able to surface again for a while.”

“Great!! You don’t need to come up!! Go away! Mother!!! I’ll take good care of my virginity myself!!!”

“What a… demonic… daughter…”

“I AM a demon?! I’m one of the Seven Deadly Sins!!”

“…Sigh, Luxuria. Step back for a moment.”

“Eh, …eh?”

When I ask the current Luxuria, who thought she was finally regaining complete control of her body, to give me some space, she makes a face like she’s lost her country, but when our eyes meet, she pouts and steps aside again. Well, the current Luxuria has some cute and sweet sides to her.

“Even if my daughter steps aside… I’m out of time…”

“You said you came looking for me. At least give me a farewell kiss.”

“…Huh?”

She’s been sitting on my thighs with her legs wrapped around my waist, which has been uncomfortable, so I’ve been pulling my face back, but now that I’ve heard everything, it seems cruel to send her away like this. Moreover…

‘Since the ancestor passed her on, I’ll accept her.’

This isn’t NTR. This is a legitimate handover! He simply passed his wife, who would have disappeared anyway, to a descendant who looks exactly like him!! I repeated to myself several times that this wasn’t NTR, almost like self-hypnosis, then slowly grabbed Luxuria’s chin.

“It might not be reincarnation, but having the same face is good, right?”

“Hehe, the face is good and the personality is good too! Even the strength is good, and from what I heard earlier, you seem to have good women too…mmph?!♡”

This talkative demon’s mouth apparently won’t stop unless I cover it. I immediately pressed my lips against hers and gently bit her lip, sharing a kiss that wasn’t deep but was filled with lingering emotion. Hmm, maybe because I’ve kissed three people before. My kissing skills have improved.

“Mmm, hah.”

“…Chu. Haah~ Not deep, but a surprisingly nice kiss.♥”

“Think about your daughter. She even gave up her first kiss because of you.”

“Hm? First kiss? Her first kiss was with that beast-person earlier?”

Ah. Come to think of it, I did kiss Miho earlier. But wait, was that with the intention of retrieving your nucleus…?

“…Half of it was for that purpose, but I enjoyed the other half. That crazy former Seven Deadly Sin.”

“Hm? What? Don’t tell me…”

“She’s asleep. Between using her power earlier and talking, she really reached her limit. She probably won’t wake up for a while.”

Suddenly, the current Luxuria surfaced during our conversation and told me that the other one had fallen asleep, so I nodded in understanding and tried to separate her from my body…

-Squeeze!!

“Hm? What are you doing?”

“…Y-you said you’d take me in too!!”

“No, that was only if you were interested…”

Luxuria, who had repeated what I’d told her father earlier, looked at me with teary eyes and hugged me even tighter. No way…

“I-I don’t care!! I, I wanted to have a pure romance!! I don’t know why things turned out this way, but I, I’ll be your woman too!!! S-so! Right here, I want my first kiss…!!”

“…From what I’ve seen, this would be your third.”

“First. Kiss!!”

When she cut off my words and insisted it was her first kiss, I couldn’t help but smile. She really looked wronged and started tearing up again. Oh my, what am I going to do with this tearful demon.

“Close your eyes. A first kiss should be a pure peck, right?”

Following my words, Luxuria immediately closed her eyes, her eyelids fluttering, and I pressed my lips against hers once more.

Wow, the sense of taboo is no joke. I was just thinking I kissed a different woman, and now I’m kissing someone else in the exact same body! It’s really mentally challenging! I gave her a light kiss and then gently stroked the back of her head, and Luxuria slowly opened her eyes, her pupils trembling as she spoke.

“…My virginity is mine to use. Don’t confuse me with my predecessor.”

“I know. You’ve been through a lot.”

And so, our long night came to an end.

*

“Mi-Miho. I’m sorry? Okay? Your big sister is really sorry…”

“…It’s fine. I know it wasn’t your fault, so you don’t need to apologize.”

“Keeng. Keeng.”

Chikuyo keeps trying to approach Miho, but Miho’s tail keeps pushing her face away, causing Chikuyo to whine from morning until now, making me sigh.

The reason Miho is acting like this came out when I asked her why she had barged in like that last night. After the sun rose, Miho woke up first and was burying my father when I asked her.

She said she was sleeping comfortably embracing her sister when suddenly Chikuyo started undressing her and sucking on her chest while pressing their navels together! Moreover, it wasn’t sleepwalking but a genuinely aroused state!!

Miho was so shocked that she immediately resisted, but Chikuyo even created a sword from her tail to try to pin down Miho’s clothes. Eventually, Miho had to use her beast transformation to subdue the out-of-her-mind Chikuyo, and during that time, she sensed something strange due to the black mist surrounding them and a stirring sensation in her chest, which led her to follow that feeling and find me. In other words.

“…I-it wasn’t me, so I don’t need to apologize, right…?”

“You do need to be a bit sorry, actually.”

“Heeng…”

The predecessor Luxuria inside the current Luxuria. Her consciousness and the nucleus of lust inside Miho resonated within the power, attacking the mind of nearby Chikuyo and pushing her into an aroused state. Of course, from Miho’s perspective, this was not at all pleasant, so she’s a bit upset now, but as she says, she’s not really angry at Chikuyo. It’s just…

“Sister, I’m just saying don’t get too close because I don’t know if you’re okay yet. Jack keeps worrying, so could you stop moaning?”

“…Sorry…”

“Sigh.”

“…Sniff, sorry? I-I won’t let strange people take over my body or mind again…?”

Right now, Lust has been added to our group, and since we don’t know what kind of resonance she and Miho might cause, Miho is just pushing her sister away. And Chikuyo is feeling down because of what she did yesterday. But from my perspective, it seems like nothing will happen. Besides, yesterday Chikuyo was exhausted, so wasn’t that why she fell victim to the mental attack?

“…Jack, imagine if one of us tied you up with a sword while you were sleeping and tried to ravish you. How would you feel?”

“Oh…”

“Keaeng, keaeng!”

“…I’m truly sorry, I can’t help but apologize now.”

With Miho’s perfect comparison, I couldn’t help but nod. Chikuyo, it can’t be helped. This is partly your fault too for being affected. Mmm.

And so, we started heading down the mountain toward the nearest city, albeit with some friction.

“Human, beast-person… demon?!”

“Oh, look at that. I told you we’d see something interesting, didn’t I?”

Instead of greeting us, a black-haired elf named Green Dol and a beautiful blonde woman were chuckling about something interesting. Hm? But that person looks familiar to me?
