When I Met a Woman in a Harsh World Where Chastity Is Reversed, She Became a Yandere and Started Worshipping Me Like a God for Some Reason - Chapter 26

The Pope said something troublesome, but nothing significant happened for several days afterward.

I continued to spend my days in Eternia, enjoying the best time of my life.

It may be a bit much to say it myself, but thanks to the skills I gained, even Olie’s country has become overwhelmingly prosperous, as the data shows.

“This is intense!”

Melt showed me the data, and unlike before when everything was based on visual impressions or things Ceres and the others had sensed, this was all presented as clear numbers, making it much easier to understand.

The data showed production numbers for all kinds of goods within Eternia and the number of high-quality export products we could now send to other countries. It even showed the percentage of elves who had contracted minor illnesses before and after the rain. The changes were so significant that you could understand them just by looking at the numbers without reading the text.

“Moreover, this is the data from the academy where the students study. The way they spend their days and the increase in usable magic varies with individual effort, but reports indicate that there’s a noticeable increase in their magical capacity, so they don’t tire as quickly anymore. There’s still a lot of confusion, as people don’t fully understand it, but since it’s not causing problems, it’s being received positively.”

In short, the miracle I’ve caused has turned into something incredible.

It’s a bit embarrassing to call my own actions miraculous, but I only whisper it in my mind. I don’t often use the word when talking with Ceres and the others.

“I hope things remain peaceful like this…”

Well, even if there’s some commotion, I believe the peace in Eternia will be maintained.

I’ve discussed this in detail with Olie, and apparently, both Ceres and Melt are incredibly strong. Now that their magical power has increased and they’ve gained resistance to external attacks, they’ve reached what could literally be called an invincible state.

“…Also, it seems like we have visitors today again.”

Just like when the Dark Elves came before, today we have emissaries from the Vampires and Succubi.

I was curious about the Demons, but Vampires and Succubi…

As a man, the idea of Succubi particularly intrigues me. In this world where gender roles are reversed, I can’t help but seriously wonder what Succubi are like here.

“If my memory serves me right…aren’t Succubi a species that survive by draining men’s life force? It might be an exaggeration to think that they can’t live without doing so, but it’s hard not to consider that.”

With that on my mind, Nia returned to the room.

“I’m back.”

“Welcome back, Nia.”

“Thank you!”

As usual, Nia brought some snacks. As I enjoyed the cookies she brought, Nia kept smiling at me, watching me eat with a content look on her face. Then, she suddenly said something.

“The Vampire envoy has already left, but the Succubus representative is still here, continuing the discussions. Both of them were very surprised by the changes in this country.”

“…Do you think everything will be okay?”

“We’ve already established friendly relations with them, so I believe we’re fine. Of course, I can’t say with absolute certainty that we’re 100% safe, but they are relatively trustworthy individuals.”

If Nia says so, then it should be okay.

It seems the Pope’s words have reached the places where Vampires and Succubi live as well, but since the impact is unclear, they haven’t been asking too many questions.

“Oh, by the way, Nia.”

“Yes?”

“I’ve been curious…Succubi are a species that survive by draining men’s life force, right?”

“Yes, that’s true…Oh, so that’s what you’re curious about.”

It seems Nia understood what I was getting at, and she explained it to me right away.

“Indeed, Succubi are a species that survive by draining men’s life force. However, given the current state of the world, you can easily imagine how difficult that would be for them, right?”

“Yes.”

“So, they have abandoned that practice. Succubi now live without draining life force.”

“Wait…what does that mean?”

I don’t think I’m slow, but I couldn’t grasp the idea of them giving up the act that was essential for their survival.

Nia smiled wryly and then continued with a more serious expression.

“Succubi paid a price to survive without draining life force. They gave up their youth as Succubi…so, except for the children, nearly all Succubi now appear as elderly.”

“……”

Succubi are often imagined as incredibly seductive women.

Giving up that appearance must have been a tremendous internal struggle, even for a man like me, I can imagine the immense conflict they went through.

“It’s been a long time now, so the Succubi have accepted this as their reality. You might think they could simply get life force from a place like that city, but any life force collected there is processed with magic, so the nutrients the Succubi need are lost. So, receiving life force wouldn’t benefit them at all.”

Nia looked out the window and spoke quietly.

“They’ve accepted the deterioration in their appearance and abilities. But I also know that deep down, they still wish to return to their beautiful selves. It’s a difficult situation.”

“…This world is really harsh, isn’t it?”

The more I learn about this world, the more I realize just how harsh it is, in ways I never even imagined.

“Ah…um!”

At that moment, I realized there was something I wanted to do.

I was feeling restless again, just like before, and my lower body was screaming at me to release some of this tension.

“Oh my♪”

Nia placed her hand on her cheek, smiling sweetly as she moved closer, sniffing the air around her.

“This…this is Kazuki-sama’s…”

“It seems to be happening again…Nia, will you help me?”

“Of course♪ Although this is my first time, so I would appreciate it if you could teach me♪”

There’s no mood to speak of, but at this point, I need her to help calm me down to prevent my skill from going out of control.

It’s the ultimate stroke of luck, but I didn’t forget to mention the idea I had in mind.

“Afterward, if there’s any left, maybe we could give some to the visiting Succubus…”

“So you were thinking of that too. I’ll consult with Ceres-sama, but let’s suggest it.”

“Please! Th-then, let’s…”

As I tried to say “please,” Nia suddenly said something unexpected.

“Just now, I had a brilliant idea. Ceres-sama used her hands and mouth before, but wouldn’t using my chest be a good option as well? I love Kazuki-sama, and it’s soft, making it perfect for squeezing and stimulating.”

“Nia, you’re a genius. Please do that.”

My second time was different from the first.

And if I had to give one thought—it was amazing how completely hidden I was. That feeling of being buried was incredible.

***

“Ceres-sama.”

“Nia?”

Nia suddenly appeared in the room prepared for the meeting.

Ceres and the Succubus both tilted their heads, wondering what was going on, as Nia approached Ceres with a small bottle in hand.

“Kazuki-sama, after hearing about the situation with the Succubi, suggested we try this.”

“Oh…”

Inside the bottle was, without a doubt, Kazuki’s extracted essence.

Even though it’s a time when we should be careful, Kazuki still acts for the sake of the women, and that thoughtfulness made Ceres…wet. She didn’t know why, but she got wet. Maybe it wasn’t tears from being moved, but something else overflowing instead.

“Kazuki-san…but yes. Although there’s supposedly no real problem, they always seem to be suffering whenever I see them.”

“Um…what are you talking about?”

The Succubus, now appearing as an old woman, looked confused.

The Succubi didn’t feel particularly exhausted, but their aged bodies, though still far from reaching their lifespan and relatively durable, seemed to be breathing heavily.

Perhaps the sensation of fatigue hadn’t caught up with the strain their bodies were under—but even so, they were able to keep living, so there was no real concern. Yet, from the outside, people couldn’t help but worry when they saw them like this.

“Muse, try drinking just one drop of this.”

“It’s not poison, right!?”

“Of course not, you fool.”

The Succubus, named Muse, took the bottle with trembling hands.

But at that moment, the rationality disappeared from her eyes, and she frantically opened the lid, dipping her finger inside.

It seemed she retained just enough reason to remember Ceres’s words, as she only tasted a single drop.

“Wha…what!?”

A change occurred in Muse, who had raised her voice.

The wrinkles that had covered her skin as if she were an old woman faded, replaced by a smooth, youthful glow. Her once-dry hair turned silky, and her sagging breasts swelled, regaining their natural, alluring shape.

“Huh…why am I…!?”

The Succubus, who had regained her former beauty, was utterly confused.

But she couldn’t hide the tears streaming down her face, even if she herself wasn’t aware of them. This was yet another moment when Kazuki had created a miracle.
