Episode 3: Special Physique, Different from Ordinary People, Part 6
Is this what Lily meant by ability?
Lan never told me about this, but she must have some ability too.
Did that cunning fox hide something else from me?
”…That’s how it is. For some reason, that…completely succubus-ified me remained as my shadow, and summoning her only consumes a little Spiritual Power.”
“Oh, impressive… She touched me just now, does that mean she has a physical form?”
“Yes, essentially she’s my shadow materialized. It’s a bit like… hmm, you know, like those shadowy monsters we saw before.”
She’s talking about Non-existents.
It’s indeed very similar, but Non-existents shouldn’t be seen by anyone. And in this world now, there are no Non-existents anymore.
In this world without abnormalities, someone who can be blacklisted and have their existence directly stripped by Ling–if such a person truly exists, what kind of heinous acts must they have committed?
“If you must know, I am now just an Ordinary person, ‘Lili Yang’. So, if I can see and touch her, she must have a physical form, right?”
“I see. Thinking about it that way does make sense.
To think there’s such a Special Physique ability! As expected, even in an Ordinary world, a Spirit Witch isn’t an Ordinary existence…
Chosen people are always chosen, no matter the world. It seems that’s indeed the case.
“And her words aren’t wrong, she is the true succubus, ‘Lilith’. She can also use all the succubus abilities.”
“This ability is quite something.”
Even though she’s been greatly weakened, it’s still a very powerful ability.
Especially since Shadow Lily also possesses succubus abilities, meaning she can still invade dreams, charm others, and fly. That’s incredible.
Shadow clone? Substitute? Proliferation?
Anyone who watches anime frequently should know how convenient such an ability is.
“But Master, as you’ve seen, this ability is completely out of control. She even wanted to replace me.”
“I think she rather likes me.”
“That’s because you are Master… Ah… whether it’s me or her, for us, there is only you, the one and only Master.”
“Then she should listen to me?”
“—She said she’s very willing to listen to Master’s words…”
Speaking of which, Lily suddenly covered her forehead, frowned, and then said with a hint of helplessness and anger.
“Ugh! Alright! Stop arguing! She says ‘You can do anything you want to me, Master,’ is that enough!”
It seems they can communicate mentally.
SF Light Novel
It’s like how I and Zi’ai were before… or rather, how Zi’ai was when she was Kuuga.
It feels nostalgic… Kuuga was such a tsundere back then, hehe.
Thinking about it, I couldn’t help but smile. I stroked Lily’s cheek and said.
“When Lianbing had a personality split, Ruansui and Lianbing didn’t get along well either. They made up later… Ah, later they merged completely… But yours doesn’t seem like a split personality.”
“Yes, we are more like sisters. She and I share the same origin. I am the human part, and she is the succubus part.”
“I see. But she seems to lack common sense.”
“I will educate her properly.”
“Having a companion in your mind that you can talk to anytime is a good thing. Trust each other more.”
“I understand.”
Lily turned her head, cupped the hand stroking her cheek with both of hers, closed her eyes as if to savor this moment of quiet affection, and confessed.
“She, can be said to be… a collection of the other identity I once wanted to deny. But, I don’t feel anymore that being a succubus is a painful thing. Because I met Master… It is precisely because I met you that I feel being a succubus isn’t bad. In fact, I can take pleasure in serving you as a succubus, and I’ve gained immense happiness.”
Lily opened her eyes, her gaze towards me almost melting. I could feel the love contained within it.
“Because you’ve affirmed all of me.”
Being loved by you like this makes me happy too, Lily.
“Well then, I still have a bit of curiosity…”
“What is it?”
“The Lilith just now said your feelings are shared… So, I have a bold idea…”
Lily blushed, immediately knowing what I was thinking.
She leaned closer to my ear and whispered.
“Once I teach her common sense… we’ll find an opportunity, and serve you together, Master…”
“Then Master will also dote on you both, Sinu.”
“…Really, it’s sickeningly sweet.”
At this moment, a voice came from the other side. The other woman in the room had woken up.
Hearing this, Lily’s face turned red with embarrassment, and she shrunk behind me, as she was completely unclothed.
But didn’t you and Nana do that before? You’ve already been seen, what’s there to be shy about now…
I don’t quite understand her definition of shyness. SF Light Novel
But this shy appearance is quite cute.
“Ah! Mom! When did you wake up…”
“Just when the other you was making a fuss. I can’t even get a good night’s sleep—”
Nana sat up, the thin blanket covering her slid off, but she made no move to cover herself. She scratched her head and yawned.
It feels like… she’s become younger than before?
Her figure too, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it’s more devilish.
I didn’t expect the effect of absorbing essence to be so immediate!
“Feeling relaxed after a long time… Hmph, it feels pretty good. Hmm… really good.”
Nana squinted her eyes and smiled at me.
She was incredibly charming.
I was stunned for a moment.
Is this the charm of a mature woman?
It contains a charisma that Lan and the others don’t possess.
My heart started beating faster.
“Then, Mom, did you… get it?”
“Yes. Originally, I half-believed what you said. I thought you liked this kid to an incurable degree, so you made up a preposterous story to fool… But when I suggested sleeping with him, and you didn’t refuse, and even seemed enthusiastic, I completely believed you.”
“After all, I thought no matter how perverted my daughter was, she wouldn’t share the man she likes. Of course, it’s also possible my daughter is so perverted to the extreme that she’d sell her beautiful mother to please this man. Mother and daughter serving one man is also… not impossible…”
“Enough, don’t deny it. I saw your appearance just now. You truly embodied the word ‘happiness’ through your expression and actions. Oh my, that posture, I, an old woman, can’t possibly imitate it. I’m blushing just watching. I didn’t expect my daughter to be so… brazen…”
“Ugh! Mom! Mom!”
She even mocks her own daughter… and seems to be enjoying it.
I can only say, kindred spirits.
Because this shy appearance is indeed very cute.
Nana took out a long pipe from a small drawer of the coffee table, lit it, and exhaled smoke, exuding an ethereal aura amidst the swirling mist.
Hoo… Then, what truly made me believe completely was that scene just now with the black figure appearing.
“Is that so? Then what are your thoughts?”
An Ordinary person would be very surprised to see such a bizarre scene, but Nana could still pretend to be asleep.
Is it her strong spiritual power?
“The joy is gaining another daughter, the sorrow is that this daughter is also your sycophant. Our family is completely yours to command now.”
“Don’t say it like that… Mom…”
“But we are completely willing to be your dogs. If anything, I can only say that my mother and daughter are sluts… Heh, speaking of which, if it’s this comfortable and happy, then what’s wrong with being a slut? You think so too, don’t you, my dear daughter?”
“—–.”
Every word is filled with sarcasm.
As expected, Nana still has some resistance to this development. After all, it’s absurd no matter how you think about it.
But things have come to this, and there’s no turning back. That’s why she’s just venting her feelings through words, probably.
“I didn’t expect my daughter to be an ability user as well, and such a powerful one. It’s a bit surprising…”
En? This sentence.
“I’ve had a little contact. Those guys are all arrogant, self-righteous, chuunibyo-ridden evolvers who haven’t graduated. But they have indeed gained some status through their extraordinary abilities. If I want to climb up, I’ll have to rely on them.”
“I can help.”
Nana took another puff and said with a smile.
“…What’s the fun in playing a game with a cheat code?”
“You’re right.”
I don’t like using cheat codes or looking up walkthroughs when playing games either.
Finding the way to clear it myself is where the enjoyment lies.
“But if you ever run into something you can’t resolve, perhaps you’ll need me. After all, we have a mutually beneficial relationship. Helping me out once shouldn’t be a problem. Of course, you can make a request, and I won’t let you do it for free.”
“Then how about this: in exchange for helping me once, you’ll serve me in a maid outfit all day and call me Master.”
“What a perverse taste… Then it’s settled.”
Lily stared blankly as we reached a deal.
This is simply how Nana and I communicate, by striking deals.
Then Nana took out a set of keys and threw them to me.
“And this.”
“What are these?”
“One is the key to this place. The others are keys to several properties under my name. You can ask my daughter for the specific locations.”
Lily looked at the keys in my hand and then up at Nana.
“Do you want me to move in with you?”
“The houses are big enough; it should be fine to house a harem of women. Whether you want to move in is up to you. Let me know where you decide to live.”
The implication is obvious: wherever I move, she’ll follow.
“I’ll take it as you wishing for me to move in.”
Nana is indeed a rich woman, and her houses are certainly big enough.
Zero also mentioned wanting a bigger place not too long ago, so this solves that.
It’s just… I always feel like I’m becoming a gigolo…
Oh well, don’t overthink it. I’ll accept this kindness.
“Alright, then, student Juncheng An, your ‘punishment’ is over. You can return to your classroom now. Teacher Yang, stay behind. I have something to say to you.”
She suddenly switched to a serious mode, essentially saying, ‘You’ve had your fun, you can get lost now.’
Well, I should obey her politeness.
I’ve already gotten dressed anyway.
“I’ll be leaving now.”
Lily waved at me slightly.
After bidding farewell to the two and leaving the principal’s office, I checked my phone. It was about 6:30 PM.
Evening Study Session had already started.
Might as well skip it and go home.
Since I’m moving to the house Nana prepared, I’ll need to pack.
But I should buy dinner ingredients first. I’m a bit hungry after an afternoon’s work.
Slipping out of the school gate unnoticed.
The guard was dozing off and didn’t notice me at all.
However, I was caught red-handed by someone else.
A car was parked at the school gate, and a person stepped out. She leaned against the car door and said to me.
“Hehehe— You dare keep this lady waiting, mere An.”
It’s Lianbing—
“Get in the car? We need to have a good talk.”
