Succubus

I gave Rokuko the explanation.

"I see, so in other words, Kehma tied up a little girl with rope and put a collar on her."

"Yeah, that sounds really bad when you put it that way."

She should have understood the situation properly, but… why is she kicking me in the shin in her little girl form? It hurts. At least do it in your bigger form.

"Actually, why don't we just summon a Succubus ourselves? Didn't you say you'd summon one after getting that info from Setsuna? What happened to that?"

"… Oh, I meant to do it later and totally forgot. Yeah, we should be able to summon a Succubus with our current DP. Let's do it right away."

And so I checked the catalog… Hmm? 30,000 DP? That's way cheaper than before. Is it because there are a lot of Succubus-related people nearby?

"Well, whatever. Let's try summoning one. Could make a good inn employee too…"

"A Succubus could be really promising. Maybe we could put her in a butler outfit like Chloe?"

With that, I decided to move to the Master Room and summon a Succubus.

Consuming 30,000 DP, I saw the magic formation expand for the first time in quite a while.

Once it grew to about one meter in size, a single woman appeared from it… or didn't.

"… Huh?"

"Did it fail?"

Looking more carefully, a single ring had fallen to the ground in its place.

"What's this ring? It wasn't here a moment ago, right?"

"Ah, wait, Kehma. This looks like it might be a Succubus."

"… Huh? What did you say?"

A Succubus? This is a ring. It does have a transparent magic stone on it that looks like a jewel, though.

What's going on? When I picked up the ring…

"Master. Nice to meet you."

"Hm? … Oh, it has a voice. This is the Succubus' voice?"

"Looks like it. Here, look at this."

Rokuko showed me the catalog again.

It read [Succubus (30,000 DP) *No Physical Body].

It was written clearly in red text when I looked carefully. I'd completely missed it.

"… That's unfortunate, but I guess she can't work as an employee then. What do we do with this? I was kind of looking forward to Succubus legs, though…"

"Alright, Kehma. Seiza in my room later, okay?"

Eh? I don't understand. Why?

But seriously, what does no physical body even mean? What am I supposed to do with this?

"Umm… what can you do? Without a body, that is."

"I have no body, so I can possess people or traverse dreams."

"Hou, you can possess people? So once you possess someone, do you stay possessing them permanently?"

"No, it can be released at any time. The ring is basically my real body, so it will end if it's separated from the person."

"Heeh… Could you possess me too?"

"Yes! … Ah, sorry. Master's magical power and dream power are way too strong, so I wouldn't be able to without Master's full cooperation."

What's dream power? And Rokuko's over there mumbling, "Kehma… as a Succubus!? I never thought of that!"

Wouldn't I be an Incubus since I'm a guy?

"Rather, does it matter if it's a man or not?"

"Yes. But men will become otokonoko when I possess them."

"… Sorry, could you run that by me again?"

"A man will become an otokonoko when I possess them. Master's magical power and dream power are especially strong, so if I were able to possess you, you would become a peerless beauty. A Super Succubus so powerful that you'd be attacked just walking down the street, and even bodyguards assigned to protect you would turn on you. The strongest."

… Is that really the strongest?

Let's put a hold on the whole possessing-me idea for now.

"So, Rokuko, here you go."

"… Un? I already have a ring though? The one you gave me as a present."

"No, I want you to try being possessed."

"Rokuko-sama is… oooh! Such wonderful magical power, dream power, and libido… guheheh… oops."

Yep, the ring's magic stone just gave off an ominous glow. As expected of a Succubus Ring, nothing but trouble.

… I should probably pass on having Rokuko wear it. It'd be bad if something happened to her as a Dungeon Core.

"Alright, cancel that. Let's try giving it to someone else."

"Mu. Oh well then."

"Eeh!? But if I possess her she'll definitely get a super suggestive ecchi outfit!? Master, don't you want to see Rokuko-sama wearing a super suggestive ecchi outfit?"

"No thanks, I'm good."

"So you're already in such a close relationship that you've seen every nook and cranny of each other? I understand, I was rude."

I felt the urge to slam the ring against the wall, but I held myself back.

For now, who would be the best person to give the ring to? Rokuko and I decided to call in all of our subordinates one by one.

The first ones we called were the three monster girls.

"How about these ones?"

"Let's see, the silver-haired vampire has the highest aptitude. But she seems to have a curse I can't do anything about… The other two are about the same. Kind of iffy. Do either of you two even have sexual desire?"

So the zero attack power trait is no good even for Succubus possession, huh. And it seems that whether someone has desire or not is a compatibility factor… Kinue-san is a Silky devoted entirely to housework, and Nerune is an Apprentice Witch buried in research. Yeah, sexual desire is probably pretty thin for both of them.

"Master. Vampires and Succubi are both creatures of the night, humanoid, and share the commonality of preying on humans, BUT! Vampires and Succubi are completely different beings!!"

"I know. I just had her check your aptitudes."

"Could I try possessing one of them for now?"

"… She says. What do you think?"

"Ooh, pick me～. You can possess me, okay～?"

The one who volunteered was Nerune. Oh? That's unexpected.

When I handed Nerune the ring, she immediately put it onto her right hand's middle finger.

"Possession!"

A wind engulfed Nerune, and the next moment her clothes changed into a skimpy swimsuit under a white lab coat, the epitome of a slutty researcher.

On top of that, it felt like her chest got a bit bigger. And above all, her legs were drawing my eyes.

"Heeh～. My clothes changed～. If I applied this, could it become a spell for instant equipment changes～?"

Nerune examined herself while running her hands over her body. Her motions were pointlessly erotic, her soft hands tracing along her figure as if confirming its shape.

"My chest got bigger too～. Could this be applied to body modification magic as well～…? Fufufu, this is more educational than I expected～"

"Hmm, so should we have the Succubus possess Nerune going forward?"

"Aah, sorry. Could I release the possession? I'm feeling sick. Release!"

You're getting sick? Oi.

The Succubus released the possession before I could say yes or no. Nerune's outfit returned to its usual look. A modest researcher's outfit that doesn't show much skin, with a rustic country girl charm. A normal, cute girl.

"… Phew! I did my best, how was it!?"

"What, there's a time limit?"

"Nerune-senpai thinks at a dangerously high speed inside her head. And, umm, yeah. She probably has zero sexual desire, just research desire…"

So Nerune, who looks so easygoing on the outside, is actually the type that's thinking a mile a minute on the inside, huh…? Kinue-san's head is probably stuffed with cooking recipes and cleaning routines too, making her sexual desire equally questionable.

With that, it seemed best to give up on having the Succubus possess any of the three girls.
