Episode 3: Special Physique, Different from Ordinary People – Part Two
“Don’t go! Lily! Come help me!”
“Why do you look so reluctant!”
“She’s your mom!”
“Though I don’t mind, are you really okay with this?”
After I commanded her, Lily reluctantly walked back into the principal’s office, locked the door, and sighed deeply.
…
Nana, on the other hand, was still sniffing me from an extremely close distance, like a dog greeting its master, as if she hadn’t realized someone else had entered the office, not to mention it was her own daughter.
Nana, engrossed in smelling me, then truly… started to lick my cheek with her tongue.
It was wet.
Urgh… Is she mistaking me for food?
“I’m sorry, Mom, I didn’t want to interrupt… but now I’ll have to make you sleep for a while.”
After clasping her hands together in apology, Lily delivered a knockout blow to the back of Nana’s neck.
Nana lost consciousness immediately and fell onto me, unconscious.
I wiped a string of drool from Nana licking my face, then smeared it on Nana’s clothes. I propped her up off me and laid her flat on the sofa.
“You were a great help. I had no idea what was going on.”
Lily looked at me with a complicated expression.
“I didn’t expect to walk in and see Mom losing control like that… Mom really is, towards you…”
I scratched my nose, not continuing the conversation, and sat on the other sofa.
“I’m more curious about why it happened. The way she was just now, it must have been the succubus’s heat cycle…”
*Bzzzt*
But there are no more succubi in this world.
Neither Lily nor Nana needed to absorb male essence to sustain their lives anymore.
“Don’t just stand there. You look like you know something, come tell me.”
After speaking, I realized my tone and wording seemed a bit off.
It was a bit too forceful and rude, completely like giving an order.
Perhaps it’s a habit I’ve had since I was young, so when I speak to Lily, I naturally use imperative sentences.
Lily herself seems used to being ‘commanded’. She walked over and sat beside me like a hostess, saying in a low, submissive tone.
“It’s true that Mom and I have both become human again, but there’s still a part of us ‘left behind’ in our bodies.”
“Left behind? What remnants?”
“It’s… unusual remnants…”
“Unusual remnants!”
How could that be!
All anomalies, all anomalies, should have vanished under the new world’s rules!
Even remnants, it shouldn’t be possible…
“Ah, well, maybe my wording is?… It’s not the kind of anomaly you’re thinking of…”
“Huh???”
What the heck!
What are you even talking about!
Seeing my frown, Lily shrunk back, looking as if she was afraid of my anger, and carefully said.
“It’s just that the previous ‘anomalies’ have been preserved in a ‘reasonable’ and ‘acceptable by this world’ form.”
“I don’t understand, explain it to me in detail.”

“It’s…”
Lily chose her words carefully and began to explain using examples.
“There are many special people in this world, right? For example, people who can eat glass, people with extreme flexibility, or those with photographic memories… Some are born with special physiques, while others gain extraordinary abilities through training. These are different from ordinary people.”
I roughly understand what Lily is trying to say.
She’s probably referring to those ‘special individuals’.
It’s easier to explain with other creatures, like albino frogs or shiny Pokémon.
With a large enough population, there will always be one or two unique individuals.
Humans are the same.
This is what’s called ‘giftedness’.
Humans with this kind of ordinary abnormality were only the lowest-level anomalies in previous organizational classifications.
I see. If it’s only ‘this level’, it is indeed within the ‘world’s rules’.
“So, even though you and Nana are no longer the special race of succubi, certain physiques from when you were succubi remain?”
“Yes.”
“Specifically, which part? Don’t tell me it’s the most troublesome part?”
“No, actually, the most troublesome part… The aphrodisiac effect has little to no effect anymore. Even if we come into contact with ordinary people, they won’t immediately… ejaculate.”
At this point, Lily’s cheeks flushed red. She buried her face in her chest, feeling shy.
But since I asked, she had to answer completely. So, despite her embarrassment, she finished her sentence.
“That’s indeed much better than before.” *Bzzzt*
“Yes, the aphrodisiac ability is gone, and so is the ability to infiltrate dreams. Ordinary people are no longer affected by us. At most, others might just think Mom and I look particularly beautiful and are involuntarily drawn to us… Ah, I’m not bragging…”
“It’s okay, you’re speaking the truth. Your mother and daughter are naturally beautiful.”
“Thank you… Mph!”
Lily’s spontaneous slip of calling me ‘Master’ made her realize her mistake. She quickly covered her mouth and looked at my expression.
She’s so cute, even though her body is that of a fully mature woman.
It wouldn’t be appropriate to respond here, so I suppressed my urge to tease her and pretended not to notice, continuing my question.
“Then, what part exactly is left behind?”
Lily then showed a slightly disappointed expression, pouting slightly. To avoid me noticing her emotional change, she raised her voice, saying.
“It’s not the worst part either… No wonder Nana suddenly lost control just now.”
“It’s not like that.”
“Not like that?”
“It’s just that our physiques are special. It’s said to be what’s called a ‘Pure Yin Body’. Mom and I can use Yang to supplement Yin.”
“I see.”
“But in reality, neither Mom nor I have ever used it. Mom doesn’t even know she has this kind of… Look, she’s wearing thick makeup and glasses, right? It’s to hide the crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes.”
“Does she have wrinkles? I can’t see them at all—*ding-dong-ding*”
“Even a single wrinkle! For women, it’s like facing a great enemy! We can’t let our guard down!”
When it came to this topic, Lily, who had been so timid in front of me, suddenly became agitated. She raised her fists and brought them together, emphasizing with a serious expression.
“I see.”
One really shouldn’t underestimate a woman’s pursuit of beauty.
“But Mom just absorbed some of your essence, so look, her skin has become a bit more hydrated, right?”
To demonstrate the difference, Lily even went to pull over the sleeping Nana, letting me feel her arm skin to compare…
I couldn’t tell the difference at all.
But seeing her unwavering certainty, I could only nod and indicate that I understood.
“I only found this out after asking Miss Shirley, the maid. As long as we keep absorbing essence, we can maintain our appearance and physique at their peak, never aging.”
“So Miss Shirley told you.”
No wonder Lily knew so many things I didn’t.
But how did Lily know that her body had remnants of an anomaly and had become a special physique?
“Then Lily, how did you discover…”
Before I could finish asking, I sensed something was wrong.
Her face was unnaturally red.
She couldn’t look at me at all, and her body was trembling slightly.
She clenched her hands on her knees, and I felt like my black stockings were about to be torn.
It seems I’ve hit a nerve.
It’s probably better if I don’t ask any further.
