I Became an Incubus, So I'll Dive into Dreams and Give Life Advice However I Want! - Chapter 07: Aria

Chapter 07: Aria

“Shhh… Let’s be quiet…”

Under the cover of darkness, I, Aria, stealthily entered the home of my beloved childhood friend. 

As succubi, a species also known as lust demons, we predominantly operate during the night, so sneaking into someone’s house like this doesn’t stir up any guilt within me.

“… Aha♪”

I discovered Lyre peacefully asleep on the bed, and my heart was instantly bathed in a rosy glow. It felt as if pink petals were twirling before me, and he was all I could see. 

The tingling sensation between my legs was maddening, yet having him as the one to satisfy it brought me immeasurable joy.

“Lyre… LyreLyreLyre♡”

I softly uttered his name, knowing full well he wouldn’t wake. 

Despite being creatures of the night, unlike us succubi, Lyre had always maintained a human-like sleep schedule and was active during the day. 

While Lilith-sama, his mother, and I were influenced by that lifestyle, deep down, we remained succubi, especially when nightfall arrived.

“Ah~ this is bad. Really bad.”

What truly troubled me was my insatiable desire to touch Lyre. 

I yearned to experience pleasure through his touch, to alleviate the burning sensations in my body. 

I once sought guidance from Lilith-sama and my mother, questioning if such desires were inappropriate for a succubus like myself, but all I received was a scolding for worrying about such matters.

Since then, I had ceased worrying about it, especially after Lyre expressed his preference for me to be true to myself. With his encouragement, I made the decision to be more open about my desires.

“He’s making such a cute face… I wonder what kind of dream he’s having.”

As a succubus, I possessed the ability to peek into the dreams of others. 

However, for some unknown reason, myself included, other succubi couldn’t access Lyre’s dreams, likely due to his status as a male lust demon. 

Even Lilith-sama, with her vast powers, was unable to do so, leading us to conclude that Lyre possessed immense capabilities related to his dreams.

“Lyre, excuse me for intruding your personal space, okay?”

Snuggling up next to Lyre, he welcomed me into his embrace as if he had been eagerly awaiting my presence. 

He nuzzled his face against my chest, seeking solace, and it was so endearing that my heart longed for even more affection. 

Despite already feeling a surge of arousal, I wrapped my legs around him and pressed my hips against his, holding onto him tightly.

(Ohh…♪ This is bad…♪)

Simply being in this position was enough to satiate my heart entirely.

“…Hm?”

As Lyre slumbered, he instinctively sniffed the air, as though he had detected something unusual. 

When a succubus enters a state of heightened desire, they emit a sweet fragrance and an aura that unconsciously captivates the opposite sex. 

It appeared that Lyre had sensed something amiss due to these subtle signs.

However, since Lyre and I were often together, he had developed some immunity to my succubus powers from the times when I was in heat before. Additionally, since he was also a demon like myself, he posed a bit of a challenge… If he were human, he might have succumbed to my charms long ago! It’s frustrating!

(…Lyre…You really have grown so much.)

He had grown in ways beyond physical stature or intimate aspects. 

His heart had grown, overflowing with affection for me. 

We first crossed paths when I was young, as my mother served as Lilith-sama’s trusted aide, which led to our initial encounter. 

Even then, Lyre exuded a protective older brother aura towards me.

“I’m Lyre, nice to meet you.”

“Y-yeah… I’m Aria. Nice to meet you too.”

“Wow! You’re so cute! You’re the type that I want to protect!”

“Is… Is that so?”

Reflecting on that conversation now brings back such a wave of nostalgia. 

Despite it being our initial meeting, I felt no nerves in his presence. 

Lyre, with his vibrant and cheerful demeanor, effortlessly put me at ease, making me realize how unnecessary my initial apprehension was. 

Not only that, but the way he showed genuine concern for me, gently stroking my head, and offering comfort when I felt lonely due to my mother’s absence… 

All of it created a sense of safety and comfort within me.

“Do you all think I’m kind? As the only male among us, I am genuinely grateful for the acceptance I have received from everyone, including Aria, despite being an outsider.”

“Well, of course.”

Yes, it was only natural for us to think so. Succubi possess a strong sense of familial bond, as my mother had explained, assuring me that we would never discriminate against any member of the family, regardless of their origin.

Certainly, there might be rare exceptions, but I firmly believe that everyone accepts and cherishes Lyre precisely because he is who he is.

“Oh, sis! You dropped your wallet!”

“Allow me to handle the heavy lifting… Oof… Ouch, ahhhh!!”

“You took a tumble, huh? That must have hurt. There, there, it’ll be okay.”

Lyre’s demeanor towards succubi of all age groups remains consistent. 

Initially, the other succubi were cautious not to displease him, given his status as Lilith-sama’s son. 

However, they quickly discovered that he possessed not only kindness but also mischievousness, endearing him to everyone. 

There wasn’t a single succubus who harbored any dislike towards him. Instead, their concern for Lyre only grew stronger.

(But there is one thing that bothers me…)

He truly is an amazing person, but there is one aspect that troubles me.

It’s the fact that Lyre occasionally shows interest in other succubi, and that is my sole complaint! I may still be young, and my breasts may not be as ample as those of Lilith-sama and others… but nonetheless, I can’t help but feel dissatisfied!

“…Aria… mumble.”

“Ahn♡”

However, if he mentions my name in his sleep, all will be forgiven!

Honestly, Lyre, is he dreaming about me? He truly is a troublesome childhood friend… Yet that’s precisely why I adore him so much. I simply cannot help it.

“Aria, there may come a time when you’ll need to learn about the process of energy absorption as a succubus. However, I have no intention of allowing another man to teach you. You should live authentically, in a way that brings you happiness. As long as you’re content, it brings me satisfaction as your mother.”

I understand, Mom.

Though I am a succubus, I have no desire to be involved with any other men, even if it’s just within the realm of dreams.

Lost in these thoughts, I had a sense that Lyre was stirring awake.

Swiftly, I feigned sleep—a skill of mine that can even deceive my mother and Lilith-sama. In other words, there’s no way Lyre would realize that I’m actually awake.

(…Huh? Lyre? What are you!?!?!?)

Lyre… Lyre… Ahhhhhhnnnn!!

When I opened my eyes, I found myself face to face with a pair of breasts.

“Seriously… She’s come in without permission once again.”

Entangled in my limbs and soundly asleep was Aria.

She had a tendency to sneak into my room like this in the middle of the night, but I had grown accustomed to it. With Aria, there was no need for me to be on guard—I could peacefully continue my slumber.

“…”

Yet, as I observed her once more, I couldn’t help but acknowledge her genuine beauty.

It wasn’t just her adorable appearance, but the estimated E-cup bust that had inadvertently made contact with my face earlier was undeniably captivating.

Contemplating how her bust might continue to develop as she approached adulthood… I couldn’t help but be awestruck by the allure of succubi.

“Since you’ve invaded someone else’s bed… would a little mischief be acceptable?”

I knew Aria well!

Compared to typical succubi, she possessed an exceptionally deep sleep, making it quite a challenge to rouse her with mere pranks. She was a heavy sleeper.

Without hesitation or reservation, I daringly placed my hands on Aria’s breasts and began to gently knead them.

“They’re so soft and warm… Truly befitting of succubus breasts.”

By the way, I’ve heard that if a weaker human man were to be caught between these breasts, they could potentially faint or even face more severe consequences. So, human men, please exercise caution.

As for me being a lust demon, I couldn’t help but wonder how it would affect me… Hmm.

“Mmm… Ahhn ♪”

“Oh, oops…”

Feeling as though I may have overdone it, I swiftly withdrew my hands.

Before settling down to sleep—or rather, since Aria was already asleep—having her by my side gave me a sense that I might have a pleasant dream.

There was still quite some time until my usual waking hour… Alright, I’ll go back to sleep.

“…?”

Gazing up at the ceiling, I closed my eyes, and Aria snuggled up closely to me.

Embracing the comforting sensation of Aria’s presence, I allowed my consciousness to gradually sink into the depths of darkness.

And then…

“Ah… it’s you…!!”

“Mr. Demon lord!!”

In the dream that I instinctively entered, drawn by a faintly familiar scent… there was a face that stirred a sense of recognition within me.
