Chapter 32

It was nearly midnight when I returned to the inn. Back in the room, Emily was sitting cross-legged on the bed. She opened her eyes as soon as I entered and greeted me. “You’re back?” “Yeah. Sorry, I’m a bit late.” As I quickly apologized, Emily shook her head with a bright smile. “Why are you sorry? You must be tired from being so busy.” Why did you look so admirable when you said that? It was fortunate that I ran into a rapist along the way. If I hadn’t relieved my sexual desires, I might have pounced on Emily at this moment. I swallowed the surging desire and asked Emily, “By the way, what were you doing?” “I was doing that martial art you mentioned… circulating energy.” Emily blushed and hesitated as she answered. If she’s blushing and calling it that, it must be the Succubus Art. I had already told Emily that it would make her more sensitive and easily aroused. That’s why she’s so embarrassed. I had already given her a rough explanation, but I felt I should remind her again. I sat on the bed and said to her in a serious tone, “I think you know, but the Succubus Art is strictly a martial art for the Great Essence Absorption Technique. It’s okay if you don’t do the essence absorption, but if you do, you won’t be able to take advantage of the Succubus Art’s strengths.” “Y-yes.” “Circulating energy isn’t bad, but in the end, what we need to get stronger is essence.” Then Emily nodded, her face flushed red. “…Ugh, I understand…” I looked at Emily’s face and felt a strange emotion. Honestly, I didn’t want to give Emily to a man. Of course, it would be fun to see her writhing in pleasure, but unlike me, I wanted her to maintain her pure appearance as she is now. However, I couldn’t just do that. Unless I was lucky enough to find an elixir. If I couldn’t, I had to use the Great Essence Absorption Technique. According to the guild’s rules, you can work as both a receptionist and an adventurer. To be exact, she would become an adventurer under the guild, like Lacas. I don’t know when she will start adventuring, but I hope she starts when she has at least mastered the Iron Body Armor. Or at least, instead of pushing herself like me, she could catch a man and live happily ever after. “….” Milan is the only person I can think of around me who is qualified. Of course, there’s no chance. He gave me a token, but Emily can’t marry Milan just because I have it. At best, she’d be a maid. Or Charka… “Huh? Is there something on my face?” “No, it’s too early for you.” Still, it’d be a pity to be pierced by a dick the size of an arm for her first time. She might like it, but I can’t be sure. The only human who seems decent is… Lacas? As a guild instructor, he’s skilled enough, and his personality isn’t ruined. “…What does that mean?” When I answered vaguely, Emily asked with a sulky expression. I didn’t think there was any reason to hide it, so I answered honestly. “I was thinking about your first time partner.” “….” Then Emily’s face turned even redder than before. Expressing emotions with her face color might be a talent. “…Ugh, I, I guess so…” But she didn’t say she didn’t want to. Even though she looks like this, Emily is a martial artist. She knows the importance of inner energy better than anyone else. From the moment she received the Succubus Art, she must have decided to sleep with a man. “I don’t know. Do you have anyone in mind?” “…Um, well… Aren?” Who’s that? When I asked who it was, the answer came easily. “He’s my younger brother.” “….” Come to think of it, Emily said she had eight siblings. No, that’s not the point, why is there a sibling in the options? “…You, do you want to have sex with your younger brother right now?” “Uh, huh? No, he just came to mind first… We’re only a year apart, and we used to play together a lot… Is that a bit much?” That’s incest. “It’s funny for me to say this, but it’s a lot much.” “R-right?” “And he’s not here either.” “Then Karl is out too…” Emily pondered seriously, then suddenly looked at me as if she had made up her mind. “Then I’ll just do it with anyone.” “….” This is a bit sad. No, I’m grateful that you said that, but I think it’s better to do it with someone you like for your first time. I guess I should look for someone while I’m working as an adventurer. As I was thinking that and about to say let’s wait and see, Emily continued in a small voice. “B-but instead…” “Yeah?” She looked at me with puppy-dog eyes and continued, “If I do, can I, can I do it with you?” “…What?” “W-well… I’m scared to do it alone…” What is this, a statement that even a highly sensitive girl wouldn’t make? I pondered for a moment and looked at Emily. “You should be grateful that I’m not a man.” “U-um?” “Or I would have devoured you right now.” Then Emily tilted her head for a moment, then blushed as if she understood what I said and lowered her head. Is she doing those actions on purpose, or are they coming out instinctively? I even suspected that it wasn’t Lee Sung-chul, but some other guy who lied. I smiled and said, taking off my coat, “I’m just kidding. It’s late, let’s go to sleep.” I should tell her to move rooms, but I can tell her tomorrow. As I thought that and lay down on the bed, I heard Emily’s small voice in my ear. “Are we, are we going to practice… today?” When I turned my head to look at Emily, she was embarrassed but not avoiding my eyes. In her eyes, there was a firm will, as well as a subtle expectation and desire. // “Hooaang….” Emily Arteon moaned sweetly and hugged Lyla’s body. As the soft skin of the girl touched her skin, Emily’s body slowly began to heat up. “Haa!” Lyla was on top of Emily, caressing her. Soft, smooth hands stimulated her vulva and caressed her breasts. Sweet moans erupted from her mouth, and even as her body heated up, Emily reached out and stroked the golden hair fluttering before her eyes. Although she was a man in her previous life, Emily didn’t dislike this situation. Perhaps she liked it because she was a man. This situation of mixing bodies with another woman. Emily wasn’t without thoughts. She knew she had to master the Succubus Art. Although she was working as a non-combatant in the guild now, she also had thoughts of going to the front lines someday. Emily knew that there were adventurers classified as guild employees. That was the position she was aiming for. And to do that, she had to build up her inner strength somehow. “Ahick!?” When a smooth finger rummaged through her vagina and gently pressed on her weakest spot, Emily moaned again. The thoughts in her head scattered, and the stimulation that surged from her vulva pierced her spinal cord. The orgasm felt by a woman’s body was different from that of a man. Emily twisted her body and tried to maintain her sanity in the midst of the surging waves of pleasure. The lingering afterglow of pleasure swept over her body, and her skin became even more sensitive, to the point where she could feel her breath. “Haa, haa, heuu…” Emily stretched out on the bed, breathing heavily. The pleasure she felt at the moment of climax was overwhelming, and at the same time, it had an addictive quality that made her feel like she was falling into it. Was this why Lyla was looking for men so much? If so, she could understand. She had already gone with just a small finger, so if something thicker than that rummaged inside her…. “….Eut.” Emily shook her head and bit her lip at the thought that came to her mind without her knowing. She was mixing bodies to learn martial arts, not to chase pleasure. Of course, she liked Lyla, but even having intercourse with her was all practice for later. Whether Lyla knew Emily’s heart or not, she attacked her relentlessly. A red tongue licked Emily’s neck, tickled her earlobes, and touched her secret flesh to stimulate her clitoris. “Aheut, huaaaang!?” Lyla found the hidden erogenous zones on her body one by one and caressed them, and each time, the red-haired girl moaned violently and twisted her body. There was something obscene in Emily’s appearance, being toyed with by Lyla, who was a head shorter than her, that was hard to describe as sensual. “Haa, haa….” Eventually, when the intense lovemaking was over, Emily buried her face in Lyla’s chest, breathing heavily. After catching her breath to some extent, she reached out and caressed Lyla’s chest. Although smaller than her own, Lyla’s breasts were beautifully teardrop-shaped and surprisingly elastic. “….” She knew it was the function of the Iron Body Armor, but the contradictory sensation of being meltingly soft yet elastic was so addictive that she wanted to keep touching it. Emily had complex feelings for Lyla. She herself didn’t know whether it was the jealousy as a woman that appeared because the other person possessed something she didn’t have, or the jealousy as a man that she couldn’t monopolize her body. Meanwhile, Lyla was looking down at Emily, who was caressing her breasts, with affectionate eyes. She asked Emily with a smile on her lips. “Was it good?” “U-um?” Emily muttered with a startled expression, but Lyla didn’t ask again. Emily buried her face in Lyla’s arms again and muttered softly. “….It was good.” Her voice was so small that it was almost inaudible. It was hard to admit, but it was definitely good. Emily had curiosity about sex and a reason to have intercourse, but for some reason, it was hard for her to admit it herself. Emily had admitted that she was a woman, but in one corner of her heart, her male self still remained. That small heart was suppressing Emily, who was trying to fall completely into pleasure and wail. Lyla stared at Emily, who was agonizing like that, as if she was cute, and opened her mouth. “That’s a good mindset.” “U-um?” “That attitude of not giving in. The Succubus Art gives the practitioner even stronger pleasure. It’s a martial art that focuses more on essence absorption than martial arts.” The reason why you can use martial arts even after accumulating turbid inner energy through the essence of others means that the Succubus Art is not for martial arts from the root, but for essence absorption itself. The act and ideology are similar to some martial arts that pursue Taoism to become immortals. Originally, martial arts were not for martial arts, but started from Taoist techniques to be reborn as a better being by receiving the energy of nature. Martial arts were just a side branch. Among the martial arts that are full of martial arts that have lost their original posture by being bound by strong martial principles, the Succubus Art can be said to be a martial art that follows the essence of martial arts as it is. Of course, as the meaning contained is the meaning, it was clear that it was an undeniable demonic art. And it was also true that martial arts that pursued martial principles were stronger. Lyla paused for a moment to organize her thoughts, and then continued.

“As is the way of the Demonic Path, this will be, in another sense, a battle against yourself. That’s why you need a mindset like the one you have now. That way, even if your will falters along the way, at least the roots will remain to support you.” “…Yeah, I understand.” If that was the case, then it seemed his anguish had not been in vain.
