The next morning, we continued as if nothing had happened.

Fortunately, the effects of the drug that Lily had taken faded after some time, and the incident was forgotten.

At least, that’s what I thought.

I found it a bit strange that Louis seemed even more guarded in his attitude towards me in the morning.

So, while having breakfast, I used my Simmahan skill to peek into Louis’s thoughts, as he seemed so tense that he couldn’t even eat properly. The content was enough to make me feel sick.

{Current Thoughts}

All the stories I’ve heard so far… were they all true…? Reyna wasn’t just a figure from legends…? S…scary… What will happen to Lily and me now…

***** ***** ***** ***** *****

I don’t know how Louis found out about my true identity, but since he discovered it before Lily, it was clear that there would be a hitch in my original plan.

Originally, my plan was to turn Lily into a Succubus Queen first and then turn Louis into a high-ranking succubus, so that both of them could get along under me.

However, with Louis discovering my identity ahead of time, I found myself in a position where I had to corrupt Louis into a demon first.

So, I told Lily that I would send a letter to the estate today and that she should achieve a simple quest, as I would be alone at home with Louis.

Upon hearing this, Lily left with a bright expression, confidently saying she would come back with money, but Louis’s expression did not seem to improve.

After Lily disappeared into the distance outside the window, Louis called me with a trembling voice.

“Um… Excuse me…”

“Yes, Louis? What’s the matter?”

“Um, can you come to my room for a moment…?”

“Sure, no problem! Should I come with you now?”

“Oh, no!! Please come in when I call you…”

And then, Louis dashed into his room just like he did yesterday. I wondered if he was preparing something.

No matter what kind of trap comes my way, I won’t flinch. Even in my human form now.

So, I sat in the living room and waited a little. Louis must be contemplating how to deal with me inside right now.

Finally, Louis told me to come into his room.

“You can come in now!”

“Yeah, I’m coming in now!”

I signaled with a cheerful voice that I would enter.

“Alright, whatever scheme you’ve prepared, make it fun for me, Louis.”

As I continued to role-play as Reyna, her way of speaking had become ingrained in me.

When I used this tone with the Rough party yesterday, I almost cringed all over, but now, I felt nothing.

And so, the moment I forcefully opened Louis’s door.

“Dieeeee!!!”

-Schwaeeek

Louis fiercely shouted and swung a greatsword at my head.

I don’t know where that sword came from, but for now, I just stared straight at the sword rushing towards me, and when it reached an arm’s length, I simply reached out my left hand and grabbed the blade.

-Clang!

The sound of metal clashing against metal echoed.

Indeed, my body is strong. Even if an ordinary person were to come at me with a regular weapon, I realized just how strong I am, not even receiving a scratch in my human form.

I then put all my strength into the left hand holding the blade, snapping the sword in half.

Still struggling, Louis, who had been trying to push the blade into my hand, lost balance and fell forward.

-Tink

“Ugh!”

“How pathetic and shameless.”

“Cough!”

Seemingly frustrated, Louis glared at me, then started questioning me abruptly.

“A-Are you… Reyna? The overseer of the legendary demons, the goddess of the Great Abyss?”

As he said that, I felt a little embarrassed. Hehe.

Oh, I shouldn’t act like this here. Hold on, hold it.

“Hmm. That’s right.”

I returned to my Lamia form through bodily modification.

As I returned in the form of a Lamia, I had sharp claws, enchanting attire, and eyes vertically placed in the center of my forehead.

Louis, who saw me, was overwhelmed and trembling in fear. However, despite his cute appearance, Louis, with a subtle determination, continued to question me.

“Why exactly are you our family? Why are Lily unni and you trying to protect us like this? Just because you’re bored? Or are you trying to use us for your own gain?”

“Oh, calm down. First, let me explain how I recognized that I am Reyna.”

In response to my question, Louis pointed to a hole in the wall and spoke.

“I actually saw everything through that hole… Reyna subduing the intruder… and even the eyes appearing on your forehead…”

Oh no, there was such a variable. But why is that hole there?

“Why is there a hole?”

“Uh… um? Just… well…”

“I won’t allow lies.”

“Uhh…”

He’s hiding something. Definitely. It’s been caught on my radar.

I just didn’t like Louis prying into me, so I looked into the reason in my mind.

***** ***** ***** ***** *****

{Current thoughts}

Ugh… How do I tell them that I masturbated every night watching my sister through that hole…!! I’m so embarrassed I could die!!

***** ***** ***** ***** *****

It was an unexpected reason. I thought it was just because they liked their sister and wanted to keep seeing her, or they were scared to sleep alone and found comfort in knowing their sister was nearby through the hole…

This is a total hit.

They love their sister so much that they use their sister as a substitute daughter? So much love.

I leaned forward and asked Louis.

“So, how did it feel to use your sister as a substitute daughter…?”

“…!!!!!”

Louis made a shocked expression and then fainted.

“Ah…”

“Hoohoo, did you think I couldn’t do something like this? It’s so obvious what you’re thinking. It’s not for nothing that this is called the third eye.”

It was just a skill called Simman, but I deliberately maintained the concept and said to Louis.

Louis lamented with dying eyes and voice.

“I… I… I really like Unni. Unni always protected me. Living so hard, yet living life with such a bright look, Unni was so amazing. I wanted to be like Unni. Unni was my idol. In the end, I fell in love with Unni. Haha, it doesn’t make sense, does it? Sharing the same blood, even being the same gender, falling in love with Unni… I’m the worst… Hahaha… What should I do now? What are you going to do with me? Are you going to kill me?”

Listening to Louis’ explanation, one cunning plan came to mind.

“The first person I met when I came up to the surface this time was Lily. Following Lily like that, I thought I could finally enjoy a somewhat normal life, but now that I’ve revealed my identity to you, I’ve lost interest. I prepared in my own way and came up to the surface, but because of this tiny loophole and your insatiable lust, all my plans have gone up in smoke, haven’t they? Since I can’t go back after revealing my existence, either Lily or you will have to die by my hand.”

“Ah… No! If Unni isn’t here… I can’t live!! I… I’ll… I’ll be the one to die!!”

Yes, that’s right. Sacrifice yourself like that. But even if it happens, it’s meaningless.

“Can you still do that? If you die, your sister Lily will be left alone in this world. Alone. It’s lonely. There won’t be a single family member left.”

“Ah… Ahhh…”

Louis grabbed her head and knelt on the floor. It’s inevitable in such a desperate situation. This is the scenario I wanted.

Now, all I have to do is throw the bait to her.

I leaned in close to Louis’s ear and whispered softly.

“There’s another way.”

“Huh… Another way?”

“Yeah. Want to hear it?”

“Y-yes. Because neither of us can die.”

“What about both of you dying, or one of you becoming a demon and following me? If you want, I’ll even corrupt your sister Lily into a demon as well. Hehehe.”

“Oh…”

Right now, Louis is probably deeply troubled. The concept of demons is generally viewed very negatively among humans.

Not long after, it seemed that Louis had made a decision. He looked at me squarely and spoke.

“I… I’ll do it… become a demon. I’ll become a demon.”
