Late at night, Anna sat alone in the blacksmith.

In front of her was the crossbow she had modified for the Priest.

Given the situation, she couldn’t ask directly, but Lucia had told her its performance was guaranteed.

Anna sighed in relief, glad that she had done her job properly.

The fact that she was helpful to the Priest made her feel like jumping for joy, but the fact that she would receive the Priest’s favor in return made her even happier.

“But, the mood is just not… right.”

With her chin propped on her hand, Anna lifted her head and slowly gazed at the village shrouded in darkness.

The Priest was with Paolo, not Anna, right now.

Because Paolo, who had dared to try to rape Anna and was knocked unconscious with a hammer to the head, needed both nursing and a warning.

Anna couldn’t help but feel disappointed by that fact.

More than the fact that she almost suffered a great ordeal, the fact that she was deprived of time with the Priest bothered her more.

Unlike Lucia or Sola, Anna, who knew the standards of beauty that had spread in the world and that she was quite beautiful even by those standards, wasn’t that shocked that the thug tried to take her.

From the start, there was no way that Paolo, a mere human, even if he was a thief, could subdue Anna, who possessed the Devil’s power.

And even without using the Devil’s power, she was subdued by her arm muscles trained from blacksmithing and a hammer, so it felt even less significant.

Of course, the fact that a man other than the Priest looked at her with lustful eyes was disgusting in itself, but Anna knew all too well that she was not a virtuous woman enough to point out the lust of others.

“Lilith.”

“What?”

At Anna’s call, Lilith popped out from Anna’s back and answered.

Anna sighed and continued.

“This is your doing, isn’t it?”

“What is?”

“Paolo trying to take me. Using incense or something…”

Lilith shrugged her shoulders and shook her head.

“Anna, Succubi are supposed to enchant men without doing anything. A woman who harbors such a Succubus has enough qualities to drive men crazy.”

“Is that so?”

“Thanks to the world’s end, you won’t get to experience it, but if you drop yourself in the middle of a normal city, probably every man in the city will rush to have sex with you within 10 minutes, right?”

Anna ran her hand from her chest to her waist and let out a seductive breath.

“Hmm… I don’t really think so… Paolo has been in this village for a few months, and the Priest isn’t at all…”

“That thug has endured for as long as he should be praised for. That Priest is… well, he’s crazy. You even kissed that crazy guy’s crotch, so isn’t the performance proven?”

Anna chuckled.

At least the Priest shared some foreplay, but Paolo was just fondling his genitals and desperately looking at that sight, so she could imagine how much lust he was seething with under the influence of the Succubus.

Thinking about it that way, Anna felt a little sorry for Paolo.

Of course, the sin of daring to covet this body before the Priest had tasted it could never be forgiven.

Anna opened her mouth with a tone full of contempt.

“How did that thug endure? Does that mean he was actually upright, or something…”

Lilith giggled and shook her head.

“Well, well, no, it means he was very afraid of that crazy Priest.”

“Really? He didn’t really seem like it. That thug is incredibly defiant towards the Priest.”

“The original cowardly dog barks well. Besides, that kind of bottom-of-the-barrel thug has lived in a world where he’s betrayed the moment he’s looked down on, so the more scared he is, the stiffer he acts.”

“…”

Anna paused for a moment.

She didn’t care at all what kind of life Paolo had lived.

The only thing Anna wanted to know now was when she could be with the Priest, that was all.

Anna dusted off the crossbow, brushing away the dust and grime.

“When Paolo tried to take me, why didn’t you stop him? I know Succubi can use simple hypnosis in addition to enchantment.”

“Why would I stop him? A chance for sex?”

“… Lilith.”

“Why? The Priest and that thug. Just take them both? The more dicks, the better, right?”

Anna felt unpleasantness towards Lilith for the first time.

Until now, she had felt that they mostly got along well, except for a slight aversion to her being a Devil, but now, at this moment, she felt like she had hit a boundary.

“I don’t want to. If it’s not the Priest.”

“Why? Oh, because of the size? Hey. That’s what guys who don’t know girls or guys with delusions of persecution against women talk about. What’s important is technique, not size? The thug has several times more experience than the Priest…”

“It’s because I love the Priest.”

“Ew,”

Lilith frowned and waved her hand.

“That kind of thing is useless. In the face of overwhelming pleasure, love is meaningless.”

“…”

“Oh, of course, there’s also a theory that affection doubles pleasure, but I think pleasure creates affection?”

Lilith smacked her lips slowly and smiled.

The sharp fangs that were newly visible in her mouth looked very evil.

“Just look at me, knowing that I’m a Succubus, knowing that if you have sex with me, you’ll be dragged to Hell, do you know how many crazy guys felt love for me? They’re probably regretting it in Hell now, but,”

“… Devils are Devils, I guess.”

“You might not like that thug either, but if you spread your legs a few times, you’ll think…”

“… I see now.”

Anna roughly cut off Lilith’s words.

“I think I know now why the Priest hates Devils so much.”

“… Anna?”

“It’s because you don’t stop talking when I don’t want to hear it.”

Annoyance and anger flashed across Lilith’s face for a moment.

But she soon covered her face again with an expression of empathy for seduction and persuasion, and slowly approached Anna.

Lilith gently grabbed Anna’s cheek and said.

“Do you think you’re any different?”

“…”

“You, who masturbate with a Devil because you want to feel pleasure, you, who are intoxicated by the ecstasy of that moment, you, who kiss the Devil’s crotch, you, who put a Succubus’s head between your legs, do you think you’re any different, Anna?”

“I’m different. Because I love the Priest. I don’t like just anyone.”

Anna’s face flushed red with shame at Lilith’s pointed words.

Anna was unwavering in her affection for the Priest, but she also knew how weak she was to lust and pleasure, so her flushed face did not easily subside.

The fact that Anna thoroughly enjoyed the great pleasure she felt every night while soothing her body, which had flared up with her, was also enough to give her shame.

Lilith’s criticism wrapped around Anna painfully.

In contrast to Anna’s voice, trembling with shame and affection for the Priest, Lilith opened her mouth as if she was feeling good.

“Most humans might think that love is a greater value than desire and pleasure. But Anna, you’re not. Not as much as you are.”

“That’s not…”

“Because you’re lewd.”

“… I’m not, ungh…”

Lilith gripped Anna’s cheek even tighter.

Then, she slowly kissed Anna’s lips.

Almost like an automatic reflex, Anna parted her lips.

Lilith chuckled and slightly lowered her head, then said.

“Look at this. This lewd thing.”

“…”

“So? Why is that? What’s bad about it? What’s wrong with being lewd?”

Lilith continued slowly and deliberately.

It was a tone reminiscent of a feline predator slowly approaching its prey.

It was as if a slender and beautiful beast was slowly approaching to devour Anna’s soul.

“Why should you feel shame? Why should you feel like it’s a sin to have sex with a body made for sex?”

“…”

“If it’s so wrong, why did God design the human body to feel good with sex?”

“… Other people aren’t like this. I must be strange.”

“Really? Okay, then, let’s say other people don’t like sex as much as we do. Then why is your body so lewd and sensitive and beautiful? As if it was made to seduce men?”

“… I don’t know.”

“That’s because you’re here to seduce many men. Anna. You’re born with it. You’re a born whore and a slut. You’re very lovely and lewd. And you really like that fact, don’t you?”

“No, I never wanted that…”

Anna shook her head vigorously, her head firmly gripped in Lilith’s hands.

But Lilith’s hands didn’t let go of her cheeks and held them firmly in place.

Snake-like eyes slowly rippled behind the winking eyelids, staring intently at Anna.

Lilith’s words accurately pointed out the thoughts that Anna had cherished for her entire life.

Thoughts that she had before meeting the Priest, before being trapped on the island.

Why am I so lewd?

It was a topic that she had consulted with the Priest several times on the island.

Father Theodore had comforted Anna each time, arguing that there was meaning in controlling desire.

Desire is not a sin, but being defeated and swayed by that desire is a sin.

Lilith slowly opened her mouth.

Words that were the exact opposite of what the Priest had said flowed from her mouth.

“Your desire is your nature, and it’s impossible to go against nature. Don’t you feel sorry for your nature, which is tied to the chains of morality and society?”

“…”

“You like being lewd, don’t you?”

“… But,”

“Who said to take men other than the Priest? I’m saying to take other men too. Why do you have to be loyal to one person? Your body will drive all the men in the world crazy.”

“…”

“Think about it. All the men begging you. Begging you to let them touch your breasts just once. Doesn’t it excite you just to imagine it?”

“… N-no.”

“You’re wet, aren’t you?”

Anna pushed Lilith away with all her might.

But Anna’s hand went straight through Lilith’s body, as if piercing it.

Lilith chuckled and went straight into Anna’s body.

“No, I’m…”

Anna jumped up from her seat.

She wanted to see the Priest right away.

She wanted the Priest to comfort her, soothe her, and tell her that she could overcome it.

I can overcome this desire.

I will dedicate my body and mind only to the Priest.

Anna murmured like that and started running towards Paolo’s lodgings, where the Priest would be.

The cold winter night air brushed against Anna’s running body.

Anna felt her body flinch even at the cold air.

A body that heats up even in the cold wind, how lewd.

As Lilith said, can she truly not escape from her nature?

Anna gritted her teeth and threw open the door to Paolo’s lodgings.

“Priest, are you there? I, the thing the Priest promised… Kyaa!”

“…”

“P… Priest?”

Anna covered her mouth.

Father Theodore was punching Paolo’s bloody face.

His fists, his face, even his pure white soutane were all stained with bright red blood.

Lilith’s voice whispered in Anna’s ear.

“Oops, it seems the Priest didn’t want to have you taken away by another man either? Good for you, Anna.”

“… Ah.”

“See, people can’t hide their nature. Whether it’s lust or violence.”
