Chapter 19: Pulling and Bewitching
“Cough… V-very good…..”
I leaned forward, struggling to utter words of praise. In the end, after spending one second (equivalent to ten minutes) to calm myself, I was immediately knocked back to my original state within another second. Truly hopeless.
I didn’t use Thought Acceleration to calm my thoughts again. It was pointless; Lily’s accidental alluring actions would surely force me to hunch over.
Besides, this constant cycle of hot and cold was making me feel like my body and spirit might break.
“Might as well go all the way.” I decided to put an end to it and help her change her horns in one go.
Then I’d rush to the toilet for some manual resolution… otherwise, things were bound to explode in all aspects.
“Th-thank……”
Lily lowered her head shyly, her hands unsure of where to rest. She probably wanted to cover her body, but such an action was not permitted.
When I looked at her, she had to show herself. When I spoke, she had to obey. It was a terrifying contract that forced even those without submissive natures into servitude. And it couldn’t be undone.
Entrusting herself to someone like me… Lily truly trusted me…
I patted my cheeks, narrowed my eyes, and fixed my gaze on her face, deliberately avoiding looking anywhere else.
“So, what should I do next?” I asked.
“Um, please sit cross-legged on the bed first.”
I sat on the bed as she instructed, and Lily walked over. Perhaps due to nervousness, her skin had a faint pinkish hue.
Trying to ease her tension, I said, “Are you okay? If you’re not mentally prepared, we can wait…”
“Y-y-yes! I-I’m already prepared!”
“You’re like this… making me…” Complaining now would only make things more awkward, so I merely coughed and said, “Cough, let’s continue then.”
“O-okay!”
Lily placed her hand on her chest and took a deep breath before revealing a serious expression. She climbed onto the bed and crawled towards me like a cat. Even this movement made me swallow.
She then settled down on the bed, resting her head on my lap. Unlike before, she was now lying flat on my cross-legged legs, just like when my mom used to clean my ears in elementary school.
But wouldn’t my cross-legged position make her uncomfortable? She’d have nothing to rest on. So I said, “Wouldn’t it be better if I sat in a formal seated position? It must be uncomfortable for you if you rest like this…”
“It’s alright. How could I let you make a kneeling posture again? Please don’t trouble yourself.”
This isn’t about trouble or not. Your head is touching *that* part of me, and it’s making me very uncomfortable! But seeing her serious expression, I couldn’t make any more demands. I scratched my head and asked, “So, what do you need me to do?”
“Um, please gently stroke my horns…”
“Eh? Stroke your horns?”
“Yes, a Succubus’s horns are sensitive areas. Stroking them can stimulate… their growth…”
I was stunned for a moment. Then I suddenly recalled Lily’s horns when she was stitching my wound earlier. Perhaps it was my careless touch that stimulated her horns, causing her to lose control.
As if reading my mind, Lily said, “Generally, only relatives or… partners can touch a Succubus’s horns. That’s why a relative is needed for the horn change… Even when absorbing male essence, they don’t allow males to touch their horns… but you, as my Master, can touch them freely.”
“…Wait, the men whose essence you absorb aren’t considered partners?”
“Yes, only men whom female Succubi wish to bear children with are considered partners, because the Succubi race has… contraception laws…”
As she spoke, Lily quickly covered her face. Perhaps she felt she had said something too shameless. While still covering her face, she mumbled, “If a Master already exists before the horn change period, the Master has the obligation to assist in the change… so… please…”
“I-I understand. So, how specifically?” I asked. “Is just touching them enough?”
NHESMKSMA
I had casually touched her horns just moments ago, but now that it was time to actually do it, I got stage fright. I had no idea what to do, or where to even start.
Now, I could see her entire body if I just looked down. Every part of her was sexy, from her hair to her toes, her delicious body treating my eyes.
“……”
Lily took my hand. I didn’t know what the black gloves were made of, but they felt silky. My palms, sweating from nervousness, soaked through the gloves and onto my hand. Lily immediately noticed this and, shyly, tried to pull her hand away, but I held it fast instead.
“Tell me,” I said.
“Y-yes…”
Unable to refuse me, Lily continued to guide my hand to her left horn. I had touched it before, but this time the sensation was exceptionally clear. Under Lily’s guidance, I held both of her horns with both hands. It oddly felt like riding a goat— no, how to describe it? Riding a Succubus? Uh…
“Please caress my horns. If possible, um, gently…”
“O-okay!”
Calm down, me! I’m just touching horns! Not feet! Nor any weird places! Just stroke them like you would a pet!
That’s what I told myself, but my body didn’t listen. I had only intended to move my fingers, to use the pads of my fingertips, but I accidentally applied too much force, gripping both of Lily’s horns tightly.
“H-huh, does it hurt?!”
I bit my tongue at the critical moment to avoid apologizing and anxiously asked Lily, afraid I had hurt her.
You see, it’s a horn change, isn’t it? It’s like changing teeth. People are in so much pain when they change teeth, and horns are several times larger than teeth! It must be even more terrifying! It could probably cause someone to pass out from pain… Besides, Lily said Succubus horns are sensitive, and ordinary people can’t touch them. And places that can’t be touched… are they really that simple?
These thoughts flashed through my mind, and I felt Immense Pressure. I became even more hesitant to act, freezing on the spot, unsure of what to do.
“No, it’s… it’s fine… U-um, please continue! A Sinu can endure it.”
“—I understand!”
Yeah, a long pain is worse than a short, sharp one. If I chickened out here, when would this horn change ever be completed!
I took a deep breath and continued to stroke Lily’s horns. Was it my imagination, or did her horns seem to be growing larger? No, it’s not my imagination! After stroking them for a while, the horns had indeed grown noticeably larger!
Lily’s breathing grew heavier, and her body twitched slightly.
“Um, next, please gently… up and down…”
“Cough! Cough, cough, cough!”
Lily’s words choked me, making me cough several times. The actions she described were too… suggestive. Up and down, in and out… though guys are familiar with that. This is for the horn change! The horn change! It’s horns!
Only by continuing to brainwash myself with this thought did I start gripping Lily’s two horns, stroking them along their curved arcs. I could feel the horns becoming noisy from the friction. Meanwhile, Lily’s reactions intensified. She writhed her body, letting out cat-like whimpers.
At this point, it felt like some kind of sinister ritual, like persecuting a pure maiden. The sense of guilt in my heart grew… When would this end…
After continuing to play with the pair of horns for a while, at a certain moment, a qualitative change occurred!
“Haa…——……”
The once hard horns inexplicably became soft, feeling jiggly like pudding, elastic, and warm.
“Ugh——”
Attracted by this magical change, I didn’t notice Lily’s transformation until she cried out. By this time, Lily’s breathing had become rapid and difficult. Tears were streaming from her wet eyes, and she looked utterly…
My heart leaped. How could I be so stupid, ignoring Lily’s feelings because of how the horns felt! Damn it! I must be too much of a coward!
Lily weakly opened her eyes and called out to me. I quickly responded. By then, Lily’s face was completely red, beads of sweat on her forehead and all over her body, her breathing erratic and irregular. She was already exhausted but still tried to use her last bit of strength to say, “—Pull… pull…”
“P-pull them out?!”
Is this okay?! Just pull them out like this?!
“Wait, don’t you need to rest?”
“N-no… not now… while they’re soft…”
I see. So when the horns soften, it means it’s time to pull them out!
“O-okay! I understand!”
Understand what?!… Anyway, I just need to pull them out like pulling a radish! No, that’s too much force. Perhaps like unscrewing something? No, that wouldn’t work…
Ah, whatever! Thinking too much only complicates things! I took a deep breath and pulled both horns out simultaneously. The next second, I grabbed a pillow and covered her face. I thought that the moment the horns fell off, blood would gush out. Such large horns falling off would surely leave a huge wound! And on the head, if I didn’t stop the bleeding immediately, she might die!
For now, I’ll use a pillow to cover it, but this isn’t enough, I need bandages— I don’t know if Lily, the teacher, has a first-aid kit, but if I go searching for it, the wound won’t stop bleeding! Lily looks like a puddle of jelly, not strong enough to hold pressure on the wound herself… Ahhhh, am I an idiot! I should have prepared this stuff earlier!
My mind was in chaos, like a father waiting outside the operating room while his wife was giving birth. By the way, the C-section was performed manually, so Xinran and I were truly held by our father…
What am I thinking!
Even at a time like this, I can space out? Zombie brain?
Although, it is a zombie brain!
Ahhh, no, I…
“N-nude mommy… will be…”
Reflexively moving the pillow away, I realized I shouldn’t have.
“…Ah?”
There was no wound at all. Nothing like what I had imagined happened. My worries were completely unnecessary. In fact, it was as if she had never had horns at all! At this moment, Lily looked completely human!
No beauty praised by others could compare to the first time I saw her… The heartbeat like seeing her for the first time sent a tremor through my entire body.
I ended up saying something idiotic, something so idiotic that even I couldn’t stand listening to it.
“Could I… could I take a picture?”
She seemed a bit surprised but didn’t refuse. However, I could tell she wasn’t refusing because she couldn’t due to the contract, but because she genuinely agreed to my request.
“Of course. Everything a Sinu has belongs to you.”
The moment she agreed, I couldn’t help but think:
I must be the luckiest man in the world, and there’s no one else like me.
Because…
The most beautiful woman in the world belongs to me!
