Chapter 22: Humans and Demons
“…Let’s pretend I didn’t see anything… tch, as if I can do that.”
Despite my attempts to turn away and run, Aria, my precious childhood friend, was important to me.
Even though we succubii have no blind spots in our dreams, I still worried about things that concerned me.
“Amen!”
With a light tap on both cheeks, I dove into Exis’ dream.
And there… an unexpected scene unfolded before me.
“Oh, Demon Lord!”
“Lyre, this girl is quite something.”
“…What are you doing?”
Exis, welcoming me with a smile, and Aria, restrained by a peach-colored rope-like object, were looking at me.
Aria being restrained was probably due to Exis’ magic, but I never thought that magic could be used in this dream world… No, she is a saint, so maybe using magic here is a piece of cake for her?
“…”
The thought made me slightly scared… Perhaps there was a possibility that when I talked with her alone before, I was in Aria’s current position.
However, before thinking about that, I needed to release Aria first.
“Aria—”
“I’m fine.”
As Aria moved her body lightly, the magic rope that had restrained her shattered into pieces.
It was a swift move that seemed to say there was no need to worry from the beginning. I was stunned, of course, but Exis had an even more astonished expression on her face.
“To think you would easily break free like that… Kuh, I intended to capture the Demon Lord with that and keep him trapped in my dream forever!”
Hey, don’t casually say something dangerous like that.
It’s true that humans are at a disadvantage compared to demons in dreams, but Exis gives off an atmosphere that could overturn that common sense. So, entering her dreams is definitely a no-go.
“Do you think I would allow that? No, not just me, but all the demons who admire him will offer you as a blood sacrifice.”
“…”
It was an overwhelming pressure.
Exis, who had been looking only at me, instantly changed her expression. The aura emitted by Aria, who was leaning towards me, was tremendous. I had never seen her like this before… That’s how strong Aria’s reaction was.
“But you’re also a girl who was saved by Lyre. I don’t really intend for us to become enemies. Today, I was simply curious about you, whom Lyre encountered for the first time in a dream, unlike me.”
“…♪”
‘”Does just remembering that make you like this? Well, I can’t say I don’t understand.”
Exis’s cheeks flushed instantly, and she crouched down on the spot.
While she had a slightly fearful expression earlier, she now had the face of a completed woman, emitting an aroma that clearly showed her feminine desires.
“Well… For me, it was such a significant experience. The proposed act to nullify the shackles in my heart surprised me. But… even so, it felt incredibly good. It was not just a physical purification but a cleansing of my heart as well… And above all, the Demon Lord was very kind. Not only his touch but every word… It’s just irresistible, you know?”
“Yeah, I think Lyre is truly kind—a sinful boy, I must say, Lyre.”
“Well, I just did what I wanted to do.”
“That’s good. In the end, Lyre is helping others… that’s what matters.”
I see… If it’s put that way, there’s nothing to worry about.
Exis gazed at the exchange between Aria and me, looking somewhat envious. Aria began explaining our relationship to her.
“We’ve been childhood friends.”
“!?”
“We’ve always been inseparable, spending countless hours together, even sharing beds and taking baths together.”
“!?!?”
“And in fact in reality, we were each other’s firsts.”
“!?!?!”
Upon hearing Aria’s words, Exis collapsed like a malfunctioning machine.
While wondering if it was some kind of joke, I approached her fallen figure and held her hand, helping her up. I thought she might have cried or something, but that wasn’t the case. Exis looked up at me with an ecstatic expression.
“For now, can you please stop trying to capture me? If I knew I would be subjected to that, I wouldn’t come into your dreams anymore.”
“Understood! I absolutely won’t do anything to capture the Demon Lord!”
“…Really?”
“I swear in the name of God, it’s true!”
A saint using God’s name to make a vow to a demon… That’s not how it’s supposed to be!
I lightly tapped her forehead as if to point out that, but in that instant, Exis trembled again, and then she let out a troubled voice while breathing heavily.
“I see, Lyre has completely messed with your head, huh? But I don’t dislike this girl. Maybe we can actually get along well?”
“Is that so? I understand that in Aria’s case, there isn’t much to speak ill of when it comes to the fact that the other person is human… I see. So that’s what Aria thinks.”
Of course, I do feel a certain uneasiness around her, but I don’t consider her to be a bad person.
I usually don’t make time specifically to meet someone after hearing their concerns, but I’ve encountered Exis three times since then.
I don’t treat her as someone special, but because I was originally a human, it’s still enjoyable to talk to a human like her.
“You two… call each other by your names, right?
“Yeah, because we’re childhood friends.”
Ah, it seems like Exis was damaged again by the term “childhood friends.”
But I see… It’s true that I call her by her name, but I haven’t introduced myself to Exis.
Realizing that, I immediately reintroduced myself to her.
“I apologize for not introducing myself earlier. My name is Lyre. Feel free to call me whatever you like.”
“Lyre…sama.”
“Yeah.”
“Lyre-sama… Lyre-sama, Lyre-sama, Lyre-sama, Lyre-sama.”
Alright, it makes me happy that she’s savoring my name… I’m really happy.
Afterwards, Aria and Exis ended up introducing themselves as well… These two seem to get along quite well, to the point where they’re having a conversation that could be considered girl talk, with me in the middle.
I was just listening to their conversation, but when I closed my eyes and listened, I couldn’t believe that they were two individuals from different races.
On one hand, a succubus, and on the other hand, a saint—two beings that would never normally interact… If high-ranking officials of the kingdom were to witness such a scene, they would undoubtedly be shocked.
“After all… even the demons can understand words.”
“Better late than never.”
“Well, personally… In the academy, we’re taught that demons are savage beings with whom communication is impossible. They say that if you make eye contact with them, they will come to kill you immediately.”
“They’re not entirely wrong. At least, that may apply to other demons, but not to us.”
It’s true that it may apply to other demons, but as Aria said, we succubi are not indiscriminate killers. Even if someone were to die, it would be within the realm of ultimate pleasure, so… I guess it’s not a problem, at least in my detached way of thinking.
“But I was surprised. Lyre-sama is a succubus… I had heard that succubi are only female… Hehe, I suppose this is also fate. If Lyre-sama hadn’t been born as a succubus, we would have never met, and I would never have received your help… Ah, I’m grateful for this encounter.”
“Don’t start worshiping me or anything, okay?”
For some reason, I might be seen as a godlike existence in her eyes.
I don’t particularly feel pleased about it, and even if I know about the emotions she holds for me, it’s still nothing special… If I were still human, it wouldn’t be hard to imagine getting caught up in the whirlpool of desires and indulging in them.
“…But still.”
In that case… Prince, please let me apologize once again in my heart.
It hurts every time I recall his refreshing smile, but I don’t know if he will become the kind of person who captivates Exis. I’ll pray for that to happen, and I decided to stop contemplating whether I should cheer him on.
