Chapter 305: Return to Ground (1)

Chapter 305: Return to
Ground (1)

Warm
sunlight pierced through my eyes.

Sunlight
that I couldn’t see when trapped in the tentacle maze filled with
only pink energy.

The
human body that requires photosynthesis opened its eyes to that
sunlight.

[Females
in subjugation process: 7]

[Lilith:
Progress (100%)]

[Lilith
(lv.60) has been completely subjugated.]

[You
have gained physical command over Lilith (lv.60).]

What
immediately caught my eye was the status window notification
informing me of Lilith’s change.

Lilith,
who had continuously received my semen while in the tentacle maze,
eventually submitted to me.

I
succeeded in seizing Lilith’s leash, but complete complacency is
still forbidden.

From
now on, I’ll need to periodically ‘educate’ her to make her into a
good demon who doesn’t harbor bad thoughts.

It’s
like having another relationship similar to Bunny.

Considering
Lilith’s knowledge and the succubi forces she commands, she might be
more useful than Bunny for now.

“Mmm…hmnya…”

When
I turned my head at the faintly heard breathing sound, I saw Ellie
sitting in a chair next to the bed, nodding off drowsily.

‘Did
she take care of me?’

What
a precious girl.

It
was Ellie who hadn’t been sleeping properly while devoting herself to
portal magic research after the Elder Lich subjugation.

“Mmm…?”

As
I was looking at the drowsy Ellie with satisfaction, her long elf
ears twitched.

Her
sensitive ears felt that my breathing had changed.

Soon
her long eyelashes, which had been trembling, slowly lifted.

“…Mister?”

Ellie,
with a half-asleep face, called me that.

“It’s
been a while. ‘Mister,’ huh.”

When
I chuckled and stroked Ellie’s head, she who had used the
affectionate old nickname blushed deeply.

“Eek…!
I-I misspoke, oppa… I just woke up…”

“The
nickname ‘mister’ isn’t that bad either.”

“Ugh…”

Although
I was slightly bothered by the word ‘mister’ before, now I know that
just seeing my face makes Ellie automatically blush and call me oppa,
so such variations in nicknames feel somewhat amusing.

Even
after starting to call me oppa, Ellie still occasionally called me
mister as if making a slip of the tongue.

Me,
the ‘mister’ who recognized her as a magician in her own right and
me, the ‘oppa’ who spent a night with an innocent girl and made her
into a proper female – she must be confusing the two.

As
I was chuckling and stroking Ellie’s head, Ellie, feeling the warmth
of my palm, hastily got up.

“I-I’ll
bring breakfast!”

“No,
I’ll get up. Let’s go together.”

“Oppa
should rest! …You must be tired.”

The
moment I saw Ellie’s expression filled with worry and bitterness, I
realized that Ellie knew I had sold my body to the succubus.

Did
she hear it from Diana?

Probably
so.

The
mother and daughter felt the crack caused by lack of communication
with their own bodies.

No
matter how shocking it was, once Diana learned the truth, she would
have honestly told Ellie about it.

‘And
above all…’

-Thump.
Thump.

Through
the incubus horn, I could feel the presence of Lilith and other
succubi.

The
place where I felt those presences was the underground storage of the
inn.

After
I lost consciousness in the tentacle maze, Diana must have confined
the succubi who had submitted to me there.

Ellie
must have roughly understood the situation by listening to the
succubi conversations from underground through her sensitive ears.

“Ellie.”

“…Yes?”

“You
don’t need to make such a sad face. Don’t worry. I’m fine.”

“…There’s
no way you’d be fine… after going through such things with the
succubi…”

-Chomp…

Ellie
bit her lower lip and expressed hatred toward the succubi while
worrying about me.

Even
though they don’t share the same blood, Ellie showed the same concern
as her adoptive mother.

This
was surely because Ellie had been taught by Diana to have the kind
heart that humans should possess.

I
had gone there secretly without telling them because I was worried
they would worry like this.

Swoosh—

“O-oppa?!
Hueet—”

When
I got up from the bed and hugged Ellie tightly, she looked up at me
with her cheek pressed against my firm pectorals.

“Ellie.
What do you hear?”

“Wh-what…?”

“What
do you hear in your ears right now?”

-Thump.
Thump.

Ellie,
with her ear against my pectorals, blushed at the vibration she felt
through her ear.

“Heartbeat…
Your heartbeat, oppa…”

“Right.
My heart is beating because I’m hugging Ellie. Then, what do you hear
from down there?”

“……”

Ellie’s
eyes followed my finger pointing toward the ground.

It
wasn’t just any ground.

Down
there, the underground storage where the succubi would be confined.

Closing
her eyes and twitching her elf ears to listen to their sounds, Ellie
let out a small sigh.

“…The
demons panting and masturbating…”

“What
are they saying while masturbating?”

“……Do
I really have to say it?”

Are
those words more vulgar than I imagined?

Ellie,
with blushed cheeks, looked up at me with trembling eyes.

I
also quietly looked down at Ellie.

Then
Ellie, who sighed deeply, twitched her elf ears again and opened her
mouth while watching my reaction.

“……I-I
want to empty Incubus-sama’s sperm bank… If we obediently follow
Incubus-sama from now on, maybe we can also receive sperm deposits
like Lilith-sama someday…? Eek… Should I say more…?”

“Yeah.
Keep telling me.”

“……St-stupid
bitches. You shouldn’t just obediently follow orders but build up
achievements. It’s the law that dutiful and hardworking slaves get
blessed with ejaculation, whether it’s fresh hot semen or condoms
thrown at them… Ooh, I’m coming while imagining Incubus-sama’s yang
energy-filled guaranteed pregnancy special thick sperm… they
said…”

I
couldn’t help but laugh at the ridiculous conversation of the
succubi.

“Ellie.”

“Yes…”

“Do
you still think those girls can touch me?”

“……”

“No,
they can’t touch me. They can no longer play dirty tricks on me or
boldly harass me like before. They were defeated by me and submitted.
So… don’t worry too much.”

-Pat
pat.

As
I patted the small back of the half-elf to calm her mind, Ellie
straightened her posture, hugged me tightly, and buried her face in
my chest.

“……Didn’t
it hurt?”

“It
didn’t hurt.”

“…Then,
was it painful?”

“It
wasn’t particularly painful either. They were so pathetic, you know.”

“…Pfft…
That’s so like you, mister.”

At
my confident voice, Ellie seemed to have lessened her worries
somewhat and showed a relieved smile.

But
separately from that, various emotions flashed across Ellie’s eyes.

Powerlessness
from not being able to protect the one she loves.

Eyes
that seemed to resent herself for not being able to do anything and
resolve to become stronger.

The
half-elf’s red eyes began to burn more intensely than before.

-Gulp.
Gulp. Gulp.

I
held the soup bowl of abalone porridge that Diana made and poured it
into my mouth like drinking water from a basin.

“Balkan.
Eat slowly, chewing thoroughly. No one’s going to steal your food.”

“Cough.
Y-yes.”

At
Diana’s worried words, I picked up the spoon again and ate various
pickled side dishes, salad, and braised tofu.

While
in the tentacle maze, I had only received unknown nutrients through
tentacles that invaded my throat, with no memory of proper meals.

Diana,
considering my condition, made light dishes that wouldn’t burden my
body.

The
luxury of eating seafood, hard to obtain in the continental maze
city, here in Eden inside the maze.

After
filling my stomach with dishes full of kindness that even the highest
nobility could hardly enjoy, and eating fresh fruit for dessert, I
finally began to regain my energy.

I
looked around and tilted my head questioningly.

“But
where’s Denshi? I don’t see her.”

“Well…
that’s…”

It
was Ellie, not Diana, who answered the question.

Ellie
scratched her cheek with a troubled expression and said.

“She.
Hasn’t been coming back to the inn much lately.”

“Not
coming back to the inn?”

“No.
She does come back sometimes, but…”

Diana
nodded at Ellie’s words.

“Ellie’s
right. Whether she found another inn outside or not, she often
doesn’t come back.”

I
tilted my head at those words too.

Could
she think that lodging at Diana’s inn is burdensome?

After
thinking for a moment, I shook my head, thinking that’s not quite
right.

‘Denshi
isn’t that conscientious of a woman.’

Except
for matters related to me, Denshi thoroughly calculates her own
benefits.

“Besides,
it seems like her day and night are reversed – she goes out during
her usual sleeping time and sleeps during her usual waking time. So I
haven’t properly seen her lately.”

“Hmm…
Does she have some kind of worry?”

“Ellie
used to do that often when she was young too.”

“Oh.
Really?”

When
I showed interest in stories of young Ellie, Ellie flapped her elf
ears with an embarrassed expression and said.

“Th-that’s
not what’s important now! Even when I occasionally see her coming
back, her clothing style has mysteriously changed, so something seems
strange…”

“Clothing
style?”

“Yes.
How should I put it, she’s become more neat…? She’s been wearing
shirts lately!”

“Shirts?!!”

I
couldn’t help but be greatly surprised at Ellie’s words.

That’s
because until now, Denshi had always maintained a slutty fashion of
wrapping bandages around her chest and wearing only a tank top and
short shorts.

But
an outdoor exhibitionist masochist who was born for that job is
walking around wearing shirts?

This
was definitely evidence that some great change had occurred in
Denshi’s heart.

‘Should
I give her some counseling when she comes back?’

Come
to think of it, I remembered that Denshi had recently gone to meet
Chirp Chirp of Wind Valley.

At
the same time, I remembered the Puppeteer who was once linked to
Denshi personality, but…

‘…No,
surely not.’

There’s
no way she, who had been quiet since I took Denshi’s virginity
instead that day, would suddenly make a move.

If
that really happened… things would get complicated.

Putting
thoughts about Denshi in a corner of my mind, I moved on to the next
matter.

“How
many days have passed since I fell asleep?”

“Today
makes three days. Considering what you went through, it’s really a
fast recovery speed. Not just your body, but…your mind too.”

I
responded to Diana’s words with a slight smile.

After
eating, we headed to the inn’s underground storage where the succubi
I had subjugated in the tentacle maze were confined.

“Oppa.
Is it okay to meet those girls already? If it’s difficult, you can
leave it to me…”

“Thanks
for your consideration, Ellie. But those girls are now… my spoils
of war.”

Right.
Spoils of war.

Tools
and goods obtained after achieving victory in battle.

To
the women in this world who worry about and cherish me, the succubi
confined here would be absolute bitches and ones to be killed, but…

To
me, they are clear spoils of war.

Their
individual bodies, abilities, knowledge… all of it lies under my
feet.

How
to dispose of them, or… how to use them.

Everything
depends on my choice.

“…Right.
Temporarily, but Serif and I have secured these ones’ status, so
don’t worry too much and do whatever you want, Balkan.”

It
seems the two had guaranteed for the succubi status while I was
unconscious.

Well,
there were the Pride worshippers who had been running wild not just
in the maze but on the surface until recently.

Just
as I received Idelbert’s permission for Belle’s enslavement.

Without
confirmation from the prominent strongmen of the Labyrinth city, they
couldn’t confine succubi in a mere inn’s underground storage.

After
expressing gratitude to her for handling all the various troublesome
matters, I opened the door to the underground storage and entered.

Whoooosh—

As
soon as I opened the door, obscene female pheromones rushed into my
nostrils.

The
sticky dick-erecting pheromones that only females in heat can emit –
with dozens of succubi releasing them simultaneously, the thick air
would normally make my head dizzy… but it didn’t.

Through
all the experiences I’ve had, I’ve built up enough tolerance to
dismiss this level of female pheromones as just fragrance.

Though
the natural female moves that Diana and Ellie display, not
artificially emitted pheromones by demons, are still as hard to
endure as usual.

“Balkan-sama.”

Among
the succubi who were in heat, rubbing their lower bodies and
masturbating, I looked at the woman who alone maintained her reason
and addressed me as ‘Master.’

A
succubus bound by ropes on her limbs, smiling foolishly.

The
confident yet lewd expression from when I first saw her had been
thoroughly trampled.

Now
she was just a female trying to act cute toward the male who
dominated her, making only the smiles I liked.

“Lilith.”

“Yees…
I’m Balkan-sama’s Lilith… ♡”

[Females
in subjugation process: 7]

[Lilith:
Progress (100%)]

[Lilith
(lv.60) has been completely subjugated.]

Now
seeming to have completely accepted her situation, I approached her
as she desperately tried to show lewd smiles to not go against my
feelings.

Snap—

When
I cut the rope restraining her with a knife, Lilith placed both hands
modestly over her womb, showing she had no intention of resistance
whatsoever.

I
nodded with satisfaction and grabbed her breasts from behind as if
tearing them apart.

Squeeeeeze!

“Hnggh…!”

“Lilith.”

“Y-yes…?”

“I
have a lot to ask you. About the Pride demon worshipper who was with
you, or the Sloth demon worshipper in the tentacle maze… or how to
break Diana’s curse.”

-Flinch.

The
moment she heard my words, Lilith’s lips, which had been forcing a
smile, trembled.

“Lilith.”

“Y-yes…?
I-I’m listen— ugh…!”

-Griiip!

When
I stuck my index finger into her mouth and pulled, Lilith’s mouth
corners were forcibly pulled into a smiling expression.

“You
should talk while smiling. If you make such expressions, it makes it
seem like I’m making bad threats. Don’t you think so?”

“R-right…
Balkan-sama is right…”

-Nod
nod.

As
I smiled with satisfaction at Lilith desperately nodding, I noticed
Diana and Ellie staring at us blankly.

Only
then did I belatedly realize the reason Diana and Ellie worried about
me.

Wasn’t
it because they hadn’t completely let down their guard against this
succubus yet?

I
had to show them too who was the master dominating Lilith now.

“Lilith.
Make a V. V.”

“V-vhee…?”

“Not
pig squealing sounds, spread your fingers to make a V. And tell those
people. How you were defeated.”

-Tremble
tremble…

Lilith
shook her whole body in humiliation but also leaked lewd juices
between her thighs.

She
was feeling the humiliating situation of being dominated by me and
acknowledging her defeat.

The
attitude befitting the master of succubi that I hoped other females
would emulate.

“I-I
was… defeated by Balkan-sama’s warm and gentle womb knocking, and
the reliable baby seeds that kept urging me to get pregnant, causing
my womb to fall and surrender…”

Lilith,
who had submitted to me, eventually followed my command.

“……”

“……”

Contrary
to my expectations, undaunted by the murderous glares of the two
women…she resolutely continued speaking.

“Now
I’ve become like this, Balkan-sama’s exclusive onahole succubus… so
please forget the past and treat me well… ♡”
