Chapter 53: Succubus Queen (1)

“Usually, demons take really important demons as their subordinates.”

“And then?”

“Those demons capture subordinates that fit their level, and those weaker subordinates create subordinates that fit their level. They expand like that to take over a region. That’s how demons create their own kingdoms.”

“How do other demons make subordinates? You and I just solve it by simply fucking them, right?”

Although I phrased it as ‘simply fucking them,’ the process of incubi and succubi creating subordinates was actually tedious and complicated. You had to have sex with the target until they reached climax, they had to accept you deep in their heart, and my power had to be stronger than theirs.

There was no way a demon stronger than me would willingly open up to me, an incubus, and if the target was stronger than me, I could end up getting screwed over instead. Plus, since I’m an incubus, there was the problem that I couldn’t take male demons as subordinates.

Sophia said, scooping up another shovel full of dirt from the school’s backyard.

“Let’s take the Branch Manager who rules the North, a Beastman, as an example. I heard he defeats his opponents in battle and then carves a brand onto their back. The Vampire Lord in the East creates subordinates by drinking their blood.”

“Fuck, what the hell. It’s simpler than ours.”

I frowned. I thought Sophia and I had the easiest way to make subordinates, but there were species that created subordinates in even easier ways. Sophia wiped the sweat flowing down her forehead and said.

“But we feel good with each other, right? Since everyone’s satisfied, maybe ours is the best?”

“That’s true, but…”

Thinking about Sylvia making happy noises under me, or Alice finally calling me Dad, there were definitely many advantages to being an incubus. But advantages don’t make disadvantages disappear, do they? I wanted to make many subordinates in a simpler way, but since sex was the only way to increase my power, the process felt sluggish.

“Still, relying only on sex to increase power takes way too long, doesn’t it? Look at me. I’ve already taken a Priestess, a fairly talented mage, and a Demon, but I don’t feel like I’ve gotten significantly stronger.”

“If demons became incredibly strong just by gaining a few subordinates, they would have already ruled the world. The Demon King wouldn’t have been killed by the Hero either. Considering your age, Master, you’re growing incredibly fast? You’ve taken many women as subordinates. If I were Milia-nim, Master would be target number one for elimination. Demons are sensitive about their authority.”

“Really?”

Succubus Queen. I couldn’t control my expression when talking about Milia. It was great that I made subordinates at the academy and became a true family with Alice, but that damn Milia was weighing on my mind. Would a demon like a Branch Manager of the Demon Realm really forgive an incubus who defiled her claimed territory first?

I still had too many things I wanted to do to risk sticking my neck out based on an unknown degree of generosity. It was because there were still many types of women I hadn’t fucked yet. If I was born the Demon of Sex, shouldn’t I at least have fucked all the demon women, and also tried sex with elves or nobles?

“So, how much longer is that job?”

We were currently carrying out the task Milia had ordered Sophia to do: disabling the machinery. I was keeping watch, while Sophia, who was knowledgeable about disabling things, did the work. Sophia said, scooping up more dirt with her shovel.

“It’s almost done now. This part here. There’s one more pipe for the machinery inside the abandoned building we’re in? Once that’s done, it’ll be completely finished. I deliberately started working on the other parts first, intending to do that one last.”

In other words, it meant the job would be finished very soon. As soon as Sophia notified me after the job was done, Milia would come here, and then I couldn’t guarantee what would happen to my fate.

“It’s finishing too quickly. It’s not even finals week yet.”

So I grumbled my dissatisfaction. Sophia shook her head in her own way and said.

“But we can’t delay the work any further. I’ve been consistently sending progress reports to Milia-nim until Master arrived. If the work suddenly stops, someone might come to check, thinking something’s wrong?”

“Ah, try making up an excuse in the report. Like, someone noticed our work, so we’re temporarily halting it. Huh? Something like that would be good. It’s better for us if we can avoid running into Milia.”

Just hearing the name Succubus Queen stimulated my cock, but thinking about the power gap between her and me, and the nature of demons, my cock instinctively shriveled.

Under the original plan, Milia wasn’t supposed to meet us.

As soon as this semester ends and I receive my graduation certificate, I’ll send Sylvia and Alice to our home. While I’m smuggling the kids out, Sophia will send Milia a letter informing her that the academy’s machinery disabling plan is complete, and then return to our home as quickly as possible.

Since Milia wouldn’t care about one low-ranking succubus going missing, we’ll expand our influence elsewhere while Milia is enjoying a feast with the academy students.

Even thinking about it again, it was a perfect plan, but Sophia seemed to be a more capable succubus than I thought. She was still halfway down the hole, tapping the pipe with her shovel. After tapping a few times, she frowned, then nodded and said.

“I’ll try it for now… If that’s the case, why not just finish it quickly and drop out of the academy and leave?”

“With graduation from the Law and Magic departments just around the corner, what will happen to the kids’ lives if they suddenly drop out? I’m a jobless bastard who knows nothing but sex, so if they can’t work, they’ll starve to death.”

Seeing our proud daughter, who was top of her class in law, drop out and come back wouldn’t sit well with Isabel either. Besides, wasn’t that Alice who studied so hard to make Isabel and me proud?

As a father, I had an obligation to support her graduation.

“In short, it’s fatherly love.”

“What’s fatherly love? Can you even pronounce such a pretty word, my Master?”

“…You’re not really asking because you don’t know, are you?”

“I’m more suspicious about whether Master truly knows the meaning of that word when saying it.”

“Ugh, you bitch. Just do the work for now. Your boyfriend will be looking for you soon.”

As soon as Orland was mentioned, Sophia frowned and shook her head. Holding the shovel with her pretty face while shaking her head like that gave off a rough, construction worker vibe.

“Ah…! He’s annoying. Next time I send a report, tell Milia-nim to kill him… No. Master. Let’s kill that bastard Orland when he’s leaving.”

“That’s the first thing I’ve liked hearing in a while. Let’s kill him. His relationships with women, and just generally, he’s such a scumbag. Let’s suck him dry until he’s a mummy and then leave.”

“……”

“What.”

“Ah, no. I love you, Master.”

Sophia stared at me silently, then mumbled vaguely when I asked hesitantly again, starting to fiddle with the pipe. I looked around again, keeping watch, and our work was finally finished about an hour later.

Sophia drew a simple magic circle on the dirt, and the dug-out soil wriggled as if alive, filling the hole. I said.

“Did Milia teach you this too?”

“No. This is just magic. If you ask Sylvia, she could show you something even more amazing?”

“You knew how to use magic?”

“…I still attended the magic department for 3 years, you know? Fireball! Magic Missile! I can use stuff like that with my eyes closed.”

Strangely, I couldn’t quite believe it when Sophia said she knew magic. I just nodded casually and then walked with her to the hideout.

Upon arriving at the hideout, Sophia took out a yellow parchment and started writing. I sat on the bed, watching what she was writing. I frowned at the complex and bizarre handwriting that didn’t seem like Common Tongue and asked.

“What is this?”

“Demon Realm language. Don’t you know how to speak the Demon Realm language, Master?”

“I lived as a human all my life. But you know the Demon Realm language too? You lived in the human world, didn’t you?”

“Of course. My dream was originally to be Milia-nim’s closest aide. If Milia-nim becomes the Demon King, wouldn’t I naturally need to be proficient in the Demon Realm language?”

Sophia was certainly a capable demon. I patted her head and smiled. Sophia looked at me with a subtle expression, perhaps unaccustomed to my attitude.

“Why, why are you acting like this, Master? Is it some new kind of foreplay? I need to write and send this quickly, can you suck me a little later?”

“…I was just patting you. Good job.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Sophia giggled again, nodded, and finished the letter. Humming a tune, she rolled up the letter and took out a ribbon from under the bed to tie it. She shook the nicely tied letter at me and said.

“Master. I’m going to send this now. I wrote that the operation would be postponed for about a month due to rumors of a High Priest visiting the academy briefly. Is that okay?”

It was a decent excuse. I nodded.

“It’s fine.”

Sophia hummed happily and drew a circle in the air. A red aura shone through the circle. Sophia pushed the letter through the portal, just large enough for it, and then scurried into my arms.

“Master! It’s all done. They say that bastard is training today, so let’s have sex quickly. Lately, you only do it with Sylvia and Alice, and you haven’t done it with me.”

I hugged her tightly and nodded. Sophia’s face was already flushed red, and sticky liquid was seeping between her thighs.

Still holding her, I reached back to pull down her clothes, and

“Oh my.”

At some point, I couldn’t help but freeze as a sinister aura permeated the room. Sophia also looked at me with a bewildered face, then quickly shook her head, and a bright red portal opened before our eyes.

Beyond the portal, I felt an immense demonic energy that made my body tremble.

Ah, fuck.
