Chapter 18 Body and Pure Love
“Teacher?!”
“Awu! Yes! I am your wife… No, I mean, I am your teacher! Ah, …. Sinu? Ah, right, Lilith is the Master’s slave.
What in the world is this!
Lily was completely flustered. I quickly helped her up, but her eyes were no longer looking at me. She was spinning, her thoughts completely jumbled.
“Calm down,”
I shook her shoulders back and forth to pull her out of her own world.
“Anyway, here, drink some water to calm down.”
Lily obediently drank the water I handed her, and the blush on her face slowly faded. Finally, seeing that she had almost returned to normal, I asked.
“What was all that just now?”
“What just happened was… the ‘Rite of Acknowledgment’.”
“The Rite of Acknowledgment? You mean the Master-slave contract that you and I signed?”
“Yes… You called out my true name before, so the contract was established, but I didn’t respond, so the contract was actually only…
I see. So all of Lily’s incredibly embarrassing actions just now were to complete this contract.
“Wait, why are you calling me Master again?”
“Because… I can’t call you that anymore… The completed contract is even stricter than before. Besides ‘Master’, permissible titles include ‘Lord’, ‘Young Master’, ‘Master’, ‘Brother’, ‘Father’…”
“Wait, wait, wait!”
Never mind Young Master and Master, what are those other titles at the end! Is it for some special fetish!
“So you can’t call me by my name anymore?!”
“It’s not that I can’t, but only in special circumstances…”
“What special circumstances?”
…………
When I asked her that, Lily seemed to choke and couldn’t speak. But after a moment of struggling, her face turned red again, as if compelled by some force, she said in a trembling voice.
“When I miss Master, and when… when…”
Alright, no need to say the rest, SF Light Novel.
This contract is more than just a Master-slave contract; it’s a slave contract!
And it’s a super unequal contract that demands absolute spiritual dominance, not even allowing for any stray thoughts!
“This is simply terrible! Why did you complete this contract without asking! Is there any way to undo it? The Principal should know, right?”
“…It can’t be undone anymore.”
However, Lily lowered her head and replied.
I was stunned.
Seeing my dazed expression, Lily looked up and called out in despair.
“Ahhh! Yes! Once I acknowledged you as my Master, the contract can never be undone! If it was only half-complete, there would be many ways to undo it! But once it’s completely finished, it can’t be undone until death!”
After saying that, she clutched her stomach and collapsed, convulsing all over, as if she had been punched in the abdomen, and tears flowed again… Why did I say “again”…
Oh my god, it definitely can’t be undone anymore? No wonder Lily suddenly said lines like a newlywed wife just now. It’s because she can never leave me now…
W-what should I do?
Does this mean I have to take responsibility?
This is too sudden!
Sigh… Anyway, I should comfort her first.
Seeing her enduring the pain, I felt extremely guilty. I had her rest her head on my lap, and I massaged her stomach with my hands.
I hoped to help alleviate her pain.
Her furrowed brows finally relaxed, and Lily seemed to be much better.
She wiped her tears and said to me.
“I’m sorry… I must have caused you trouble.”
“There’s no need to deny it. I know you hate troublesome things and things that are of unknown origin, like a slave like me who came uninvited… I must have caused you trouble. By age, I should be the one taking care of you… Instead, you’re always taking care of me…”
“That’s not true. Cheer up! You’re not in a good state right now. So, why did you complete the contract?”
“Um, the Rite of Acknowledgment is a necessary…”
“Why?”
“Succubi go through a ‘molt’ once in their lifetime upon reaching adulthood. During the molt, they need assistance from close family members, usually their mother. After all, succubi are a race that strongly favors females and disdains males. Male succubi have no status at all.”
So there are male succubi? Do they all look as handsome as male escorts?
“…I signed the Master-slave contract with you before that…”
“Master-slave contract? Not Master-servant contract?”
“That was me deceiving you… I’m truly sorry. Because I was afraid you would force me, I lied to you. In reality, the contract established through my true name is a Master-slave contract…”
“It’s alright, I forgive you. Rather, I should praise you. My grandfather always said that women should be chaste and cherish themselves, so your actions were correct.
All men are perverts, so you have to be on guard. Of course, I’m included in that statement.
“So, because you signed the contract before your molt, I became the one who needed to assist you with your molt?”
“Yes, but before that, the contract needed to be fulfilled, so I…”
So the molt requires a Rite of Acknowledgment. No wonder the Principal said he needed my help. Because I’ve already become the one assisting her with her molt in place of the Principal.
But if the molt doesn’t happen, Lily could burn out her brain, or even die.
“But, if that’s the case, you could have just told me directly! There was no need to, um, seduce me…”
If I hadn’t seen through Lily’s act beforehand, I might have gone along with it and finished what we didn’t finish last time.
“That, because… this is difficult to explain. First, let me ask you, Master, what am I to you?”
“A teacher.”
“Sorry, sorry-”
Szi
book.SFA.
It’s really uncomfortable. I’ve developed the habit of apologizing immediately, but I can’t say anything when facing Lily, which is really frustrating.
“…It’s fine… Cough, yes, just as you said, Master, if you consider me a ‘teacher’, the contract cannot be completed. You must consider me your possession for the contract to be completed. My body will bear your mark and your name, representing ‘belonging’.”
That heart-shaped mark and my name inside it… I was just wondering why my name was there. Now it seems that branding slaves with the Master’s name is a common practice.
“But even if I told you, you wouldn’t be able to change that mindset all at once, right? So I…”
“I see. So Lily, you used acting to seduce me and make me desire to conquer you, is that it?”
“Uh, yes, that’s right… Um, this is my first time playing such a role, was it too… you know?”
“More than that, it was incredibly effective…”
Ever since I became a zombie, this is the first time I’ve felt like I’m actually alive.
“That’s good then, I’m very h-”
???!!!
Seeing my surprised expression, Lily realized what she had said and covered her cheeks with her hands, shyly saying.
“Ah, what did I just do…”
The sweat on her body had soaked her white shirt. She was very conscious of her shameful posture, but couldn’t hide her feelings. She dodged my gaze, and then turned her head, afraid her horns would poke me, so she carefully moved upwards. Once her horns wouldn’t touch me, she turned and pressed herself against me.
This is too cute!
I’m really going to be charmed by this cute, pure succubus!
This is definitely not my fault! Any man would think the same seeing this!
Before I collapsed, I used my will to activate Thought Acceleration, entering the realm of seconds of thought. In the extended time, I recited a mantra with a single-minded focus, reaching a state of emptying my mind of desires… Perhaps I’m suited to be a monk…
Returning to reality, I calmly helped Lily up and asked her with a smile.
“So, are we still going to do the molt next? What do you need me to do?”
“….”
Lily avoided my gaze, lowered her head, and hesitated as if she had something to say but couldn’t. I didn’t rush her, but waited quietly.
It’s probably something embarrassing again, but I’m not afraid of anything now.
Lily stood up as if she had “made up her mind” and said.
“Um, during the molt, I need to wear clothes of the Succubus race. I’ll be right back after I change!”
“Okay, I’ll be waiting for you.”
Ah, Succubus race clothes…. After all, it’s a molt, a major event like a coming-of-age ceremony. I guess she’ll be wearing some traditional attire.
It didn’t take long before Lily changed and came out of the room.
I should have guessed it. How could the clothes of the Succubus race be ordinary clothes…
The high level of exposure was one thing, but even more striking was the design.
The outfit, which hugged her body like a bodysuit, wasn’t entirely black. Long gloves, high-heeled boots, and a bikini-like covering for the essential parts were opaque black, while the rest was a color like semi-transparent black stockings.
Only parts of her arms, neck, and cheeks were exposed.
“W-well, what do you think?”
Saying that, Lily turned around for me to admire her back.
It seems I missed one spot earlier. Her entire back was also exposed. What I was thinking just now happened again. The heart-shaped tattoo on her back perfectly matched this outfit… Wait, what’s with that hole!
Lily noticed me looking at her and shyly explained.
“Ah, this is a hole for my tail. After the molt is complete, I will grow a tail and wings… I should have grown them by now, actually.”
Oh, come to think of it, I’ve never seen Lily’s wings and tail.
The Principal, for example, has very large wings.
“Um… Master, you don’t… think a Sinu is too old, do you?”
This Succubus…
How on earth can she wear such an outfit and say something so pure!
“”
And practice Buddhism… I’m deviating from the righteous path!
