Chapter 32.23 Lilith and Light
The girl’s name is Ai.
Normally, I would find it strange.
This girl with a cold expression has such a sentimental name. If the surrounding area was already inhabited by friendly people—
But for some reason, I felt this name suited her well.
I increasingly don’t understand what’s wrong with me. I’ve forgotten Mom, and I’ve forgotten many other things.
“You look troubled.”
I just felt like something was wrong with me.
The whole world felt wrong.
Well, strictly speaking…
“It’s not your fault. It’s not just you who’s gotten things wrong, the entire situation. Generally speaking, this should be my fault.”
“Eh? Why is it your fault that the world is wrong?”
“I’m the culprit who messed up the world.”
“What did you say!”
“I told you, don’t shout so loudly in my ear. You’re so disobedient. To punish you.”
Suddenly, she let go of my legs. Hmph! She actually squeezed me! The most tender part of a girl! Ugh. “But… what is this feeling? Why do I want to continue—”
“Don’t act so reluctant. You’re definitely enjoying it, aren’t you? The more I torment you, the happier you get, right?”
“Wh-what are you saying? I absolutely—”
“Although Lilith, you don’t remember, I remember it very clearly. When I first arrived in this world, you ate me whole. Unlike Juncheng, I’m a very vengeful woman. Stop pretending to be an ordinary person, you’re a natural masochist.”
She spoke in a very cold tone, yet I didn’t feel insulted.
My brain felt like an electric current was passing through it, spreading a stimulating sensation that made me feel dizzy.
My body also wouldn’t obey me.
“I already told you not to wet my hands. You’re really disobedient. I’m going to spank you.”
A sound came from my rear, the impact traveling through me. She hit my butt hard, several times.
A stinging pain. My clothes were wet.
I felt…
It was painful, shameful, but I also felt… glad.
“I… I might not have known you were a masochist, Lilith? Oh, that’s my bad. I thought you’d be happy doing this.”
“You’re lying! You know everything, don’t you?”
My intuition as a woman told me she was doing it on purpose.
“Your personality is so delicate, no wonder he likes you so much. You’re a natural succubus.”
“Wh-what? That has nothing to do with my height or figure!”
“You’re so passive. This contrast is even more appealing… Or is it your succubus instincts that make you unconsciously seductive towards men?”
“This has nothing to do with whether I’m a succubus or not. There’s a master in your heart. I’m just stating the objective facts.”
“I apologize if I’ve upset you, but I’m not insulting you. I’m just stating the facts.”
“It’s alright. I know you’re not insulting me.”
Ai-chan, like Juncheng, knows I’m a succubus, but her opinion hasn’t changed.
But how did she know I was a masochist?
I only dimly realized this myself recently. How could she have known from the beginning? Speaking of which, it seems ever since we first met, she’s known who I am, acting like we’re old friends.
Is she also someone I’ve forgotten?
Recalling what Ai-chan said earlier, she’s someone who shouldn’t exist? What does that mean? Isn’t she from this world?
“Alright, we’ve arrived.”
“Um? Where is this?”
“This is a safe zone, or rather, the only place not yet affected.”
“Can you put me down now?”
She’s still holding me in that position, and I’m so embarrassed I want to die on the spot.
“No, I want to hold you. You’re plump and soft, with a great feel and texture. Although you always wet my hands and skirt, that’s a minor flaw.”
She’s treating me like a bolster pillow!
“If only I were a man, I’d like to hold you and use you like this. It seems like it would be very satisfying. How about you don’t change back? Just stay like this? I think Juncheng would be happy to hold you while sleeping. Trading your legs for the right to have a nightly embrace, I think that’s a huge profit.”
“What kind of reward is that!”
What does she mean by “use”? Does she mean… that, that use is like a human dildo?
To be used casually? It might be frustrating, but aren’t you a masochist? If I treat you as a pillow-dildo combo, wouldn’t you feel even more?
“I-I’m not a masochist!”
“…”
“Still saying you’re not? Your body’s already all red.”
“Waaaaah…”
It’s not just because of her words. I can’t refute anything she says.
It’s more that I… like she said, I’m starting to feel things like a pervert.
> A place to wait for rabbits. Be careful on the road.
“Alright, alright, the joke is over. Be careful from now on. We’ve arrived at the ‘waiting for rabbits’ place. Be careful not to get lost.”
Ai-chan didn’t seem to want to tease me anymore. She sat down in the waiting area of the bus stop, but she didn’t put me down. Instead, she held me like a baby.
This posture is also so embarrassing… Ha.
“We’re waiting for someone here.”

“Waiting for whom?”
She doesn’t even know!
She doesn’t even know who she’s waiting for, and she still wants to wait? What is this!
“But he will definitely appear here because this is the only safe zone, besides the central clock tower.”
Ai-chan said it with conviction, as if she wasn’t joking.
It seems like she has to wait for this person.
“But why do we have to wait for this person?”
“Because he is the source of the spreading madness.”
“This ‘madness’ again. What is madness, anyway?”
Ai-chan mentioned it before, but she never properly explained what madness is.
“Madness is what I’ve named it. I’ll call it that for now. I’m not sure what it is. Anyway, you’ve felt it too, right?”
“It’s a kind of strange, unsettling feeling.”
“This city is filled with such a strange atmosphere.”
“Even the employees in the company have become very strange.”
“Are they really being influenced by something?”
“It’s a kind of mental fluctuation, like killing intent. But its range is huge, and it can make people very…”
“Selfish. Unlike killing intent, it’s contagious. People who are affected by madness also emit…”
“It’s easy to sense. Yes, but madness is different from killing intent.”
“Madness. So, like zombies, people with distorted minds and emotions, whose desires are unrestrained, act bizarrely and without reason.”
“People infected with madness usually display extreme self-centeredness and selfishness. They become selfish and self-serving, easily betraying everyone for their own gain. Most frighteningly, the person doesn’t realize it themselves.”
“Yes, this is also something I’ve summarized, but it’s basically correct.”
Indeed, the description is quite accurate.
So those employees were also influenced by madness without their knowledge?
That’s why they can’t cope. No one feels anything is wrong with themselves.

“So, was this madness created by someone?”
“It should be someone’s ability. I’m guessing it’s a Destined Ability, otherwise, the effect wouldn’t be so strong.”
“Yes, Destiny Power and Spiritual Power have good compatibility. Perhaps it’s because even as ordinary people, only Spiritual Power is stronger than others. If one already possesses strong Spiritual Power, it will be reflected in their Destined Ability.”
I see.
Spiritual Power affecting Destiny Power. This is the first time I’ve heard of this theory, but it seems plausible.
If that’s the case, perhaps it’s possible to artificially create desired abilities by manipulating the Master’s spirit before awakening. This would also effectively control their Destiny.
“Like Juncheng. Before he could use Destiny Power, he was always suppressing others with his Spiritual Power, so he gained the ability ‘Calamity from the Mouth,’ which allows him to command others. Well, his Spiritual Power is also related to you, Lilith.”
Ai-chan’s words interrupted my thoughts. I pointed at myself in disbelief.
“Eh? Me?”
“Ah, but it’s not related to you in this world.”
More of those strange words. This world, as if she’s saying there are other worlds.
The possibility of Ai-chan being wrong is very small. She knows many things, far more than I do. Could there really be many worlds, and is this already the ‘second world’?
The situation with the women around Juncheng is dire.
The harem has already been established. Although it might sound boastful, I truly believe that no one is more suited to opening a harem than Juncheng An.
“Hearing such praise from a woman is truly strange.”
“There’s nothing strange about it. It’s the truth. But because of this…”
“Master of the harem” is gone, and things will become unmanageable.
“Things will become unmanageable because Juncheng is gone?”
Thinking about it that way, it seems to be the case.
Every time, it’s Juncheng who “resolves incidents” and brings troublesome matters to an end.
Although he always complained about being involved in all sorts of danger, if he hadn’t been there…
Things would have become unresolvable. If they had stayed that way, it would have been fine. Because then…
“If Juncheng were more of a scumbag, treating you all like disposable trash, like clothes to be worn and discarded…
The women would have gone crazy because of him, and their target would have become Juncheng himself. Although he might have been brutally dismembered and died with his eyes wide open.”
“But he wouldn’t do that.”
Juncheng An would never do that.
“Yes, he wouldn’t do that. Juncheng has done nothing wrong, so the girls won’t blame him. Instead, they will kill each other for him. In the end, it will turn into a civil war among the girls. Madness will act as the fuse and fuel, causing the situation to escalate, and Juncheng isn’t here to clean up this mess?”
“I think perhaps because of this, ‘I who should not exist’ appeared here. Really, you don’t let me rest even in death.”
Ai-chan said with a self-deprecating smile as she rubbed her nose.
“In the end, it’s me who’s cleaning up the mess again. It’s like I’m punishing myself, after all, the situation turned out this way because of me.”
“If I can block the source of the madness, they should calm down a bit. Then I’ll persuade them one by one through persuasion and debate, and have a peaceful resolution, and Juncheng will return—this is the most ideal scenario.”
“Do you think things will go that smoothly?”
“Only time will tell. If it goes smoothly, that’s for the best. But our start was not good, we’re already far behind others. Now, looking at the people who have joined the fray, there’s Young Miss Ji Lianbing. Her hand strength is currently unbeatable. She doesn’t need any other cards; one card can instantly kill all the weaklings.”
“So, the strongest is Ji Lianbing.”
“She knows the most among everyone, besides me and that Head Maid. She should be planning something. Her hand is unfathomable. Even without madness, she’s crazy.”
“The third one is Yu’e, who is actively recruiting… I heard she’s taking your twin daughters. That’s one of them. All the loli dropped by the natural disasters will join her faction. Oh, you wouldn’t know that either. Think of her as a large-scale AoE attack. There are two more like her.”
“Those natural disasters! There are still two more?!”
“Three SS-class or higher anomalies have joined factions. She’s only ranked third?!”
“And as the weakest, my only hand now is you. Do you know the difference in strength?”
“Hell mode.”
“If it were only this, it would be fine. But I always feel like something else is happening behind the scenes. Perhaps some presence is manipulating and guiding all of this. I always feel like someone has predicted everything. That’s the worst.”
“Uh, is that possible?”
Someone saw through everything long ago?
That’s chilling.
“Perhaps it’s just my imagination. Anyway, we have to take it step by step. Affection needs to be accumulated little by little. We need to see if we can eliminate the madness first, otherwise, it’s all for nothing.”
Ai-chan’s words were interrupted when something suddenly fell from the sky with a thud.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle. The round object rolled to Ai-chan’s feet.
It was a head.
A man’s.
I was relieved it wasn’t Juncheng. Oh, no, Juncheng is currently in several pieces. It’s not strange for a head to suddenly appear.
However, I heard Ai-chan say, and when I turned my head, my cheek brushed against hers, and I felt something wet, perhaps her sweat.
“We might die here.”
“That guy is your natural enemy.”
“I met her while holding you. Fate really likes to joke like this…”
A woman’s voice sounded.
It was a voice as beautiful as heavenly music, but what she said was…
“Holy light will judge you.”
