Chapter 3: Special Physique, Different from Ordinary People, Part 5
“It’s dark outside… It gets dark faster in winter, doesn’t it? It’s five o’clock already.”
“I’m so sorry for keeping you this late. I didn’t expect things to turn out this way.”
“I also didn’t expect to skip most of my first day at school like this, and with the principal’s permission, no less. It’s practically a special privilege.”
After comfortably eating several meals of mother-daughter rice bowls in the principal’s office, the afternoon passed by. On my first day of school, I managed to conquer both the beautiful principal and her daughter, the beautiful teacher. Was I some kind of campus overlord? This level of achievement probably surpasses even that of a campus overlord. I felt a pang of emotion, as if I had accomplished something impossible, and also felt I had become so monstrous that I couldn’t even be called human anymore. But honestly, from the bottom of my heart, it felt so good. For example, I didn’t even need to dress myself; Lilith would attend to me, clean me, and change my clothes. It was like being completely pampered.
After helping me dress, Lilith attentively smoothed out the wrinkles in my clothes and tied my school uniform’s tie. Then she said to me, “You don’t need to call me ‘Master’ at times like these. You can call me whatever you want during playtime, but calling me that now makes me feel distant. Please don’t use honorifics… or I’ll call you ‘Teacher’ too, you know?”
“…Yeah, Juncheng.”
“Mmm, good boy.”
I stroked Lilith’s lustrous hair. She gave a shy, demure smile and leaned into my embrace, wrapping her arms around my waist. I leaned back against the sofa, enjoying the warm and comfortable feeling of holding her. On the other sofa, Nana was sleeping soundly. In the end, I was the victor. Though as I say that, it’s actually because Nana began her ‘evolution’ that I was freed. Otherwise, forget an afternoon, it might have been possible to repeat the events of those days when Zero and I were like wild beasts.
“Mom has also joined the side…” [Light Novel]
“Yes, for you, she chose to cross over to this side. This side, meaning outside of the cycle, or as the ancients would say, ‘beyond the three realms and outside of the five elements.'”
“It’s slightly different, but the meaning is similar. Nana has transformed into an undead creature after absorbing enough of my vital energy. That’s why she said that if I betrayed Lily, she would… ‘be on my side, and kill me.'”
“She has become an undead being who survives by depending on me. She was worried about leaving you alone, so she chose to follow.”
“Mom… she’s too impulsive… She could have just forgotten, and it would have been easier…”
“Yes, it would have been easier if she had forgotten.”
“I don’t think it was impulsive. She was quite calm the entire time. We could even converse, which I found most amazing.”
“Mom can still maintain her consciousness?”
“Yes, when you first made me lose consciousness, she spoke a lot with me.”
“…That was…”
“It’s fine, don’t worry about it. It was cute, and that’s one of your great qualities.” Lilith nuzzled against me like a clingy kitten, obediently. “It seems that even as a human, her spiritual power is exceptionally strong. However, there’s another thing that puzzles me: generally speaking, even when we explain things, very few people would believe our absurd tales, right?”
“It was a very complicated process. Unless they experienced it themselves, almost no one would believe it.”
“But she believed it without a trace of doubt, and then she did something like this…”
“Because Mom is that kind of person. She trusts those she trusts unconditionally. She believed those words because they came from me.”
“I see, so that’s how it is.” Indeed, before Lilith arrived, she had been suspicious of my identity. Moreover, she completely ignored my explanations and was just speculating about my true intentions on her own.
“Some things haven’t changed, like how messy Mom is at home when she’s drunk, becoming a crying type, or how she gets involved with some strange organization.”
“Oh? What organization?”
“I’m not sure. Mom didn’t want to tell me before, either. It seemed like… a spy organization? A killer organization? In short, it seems to be an influential one on a global scale.”
“That sounds amazing. Capable women will always get ahead, no matter the world.”
“Perhaps. So, Mom could have reached even higher positions, but she didn’t because of me. But now she doesn’t have so many concerns, because I will be by Lily’s side. So, what Nana said before is true. She’s really going to conquer the world…”
“Well, you should probably head back now. Evening study session is about to start.” Lilith lifted her head from my embrace and thoughtfully suggested.
“Ah, right, I… I still…” Skipping the evening study session wouldn’t matter. I was more worried about you.
“Are you alright? It’s your first time… Your body should still be in pain, right?” Lilith blushed and smiled.
“I’m fine. My body’s recovery ability and strength have inherited the original succubus’s body, so… some special kinds of play can be tried too.”
“Oh, oh, is that so? Hehe…”
“Wh-what are you laughing at?”
“Nothing, I just suddenly thought about how you used to hate your firm body. You said a succubus’s good physical abilities were necessary to withstand all sorts of intense play. In the end, even though you’re not a succubus anymore, this firm body is still being used for this kind of thing.” It’s a perfect example of the “true fragrance” law.
“Ugh… Disgusting…”
“Alright, alright. You don’t have the troublesome aphrodisiac constitution anymore, but the good aspects like a firm body have remained. Isn’t that great?”
“Actually, besides this constitution, some other abilities have also ‘remained.'”
“What! Could it be Destiny Power!” I exclaimed, grabbing Lilith’s shoulders excitedly. This truly startled me. A power like Destiny Power, which could destroy the fundamental structure of the world, should absolutely not appear under the rules I and Zero established.
“No, it’s not Destiny Power. It’s not that exaggerated anymore. Forget turning dreams into reality; I can’t even infiltrate dreams anymore.”
“…It’s considered ‘remnants of Destined Ability’?”
“What do you mean?”
“How to explain it… Hmm. It’s like a psychic ability, isn’t it? Although there’s no Destiny Power, we F witches have all retained some spirit-related abilities.”
“An ability…” I wondered, is a psychic ability permitted in this world? Ah, yes. Since there are people with ‘Special Physique,’ it’s natural for there to be people with ‘Spiritual Power different from ordinary people.’ I overlooked this; it’s a loophole. This is probably like ‘sand slipping through the cracks.’ Although the new world’s laws that Zero and I established have filtered out all abnormalities, some ambiguously defined abilities seem to have slipped through. As a result, this world is not a ‘completely ordinary world’ in the true sense. However, people who develop abilities like this probably won’t… Well, the impact isn’t that significant. It’s just that the very top of the human pyramid will likely be occupied by these so-called ability users.
“Then, what is your ability, Lily?”
“Um, I’ll use it briefly, and you’ll know.”
Saying this, Lily closed her eyes. At first, nothing happened, but then an unbelievable scene unfolded. Lily’s shadow detached from the ground! Then, as if shedding its skin, the purely black outer layer of the shadow peeled off piece by piece. What appeared before us was… another Lily! Dark skin, snow-white hair, horns on her head, wearing the revealing standard attire of the succubus race, with a large heart-shaped tattoo on her chest and a small heart-shaped tattoo on her lower abdomen. She wore black, translucent thigh-high stockings… no, were those black silk thigh-high high-heeled boots? A tail with a heart-shaped tip extended from her back, and the shed black shadow transformed into a pair of wings floating behind her. Under my dumbfounded gaze, she slowly opened her eyes. Her pointed pupils flickered with a scarlet light, and as she smiled, she revealed sharp fangs. Then… she pounced directly up, grabbed my neck, and writhed her body, crying out, “Master! Master! Master! Finally, I see you! My dearest Master! Ah~ This is wonderful, Master’s scent… Sinu misses Master! Please whip me! Punish me! Give me your loving education!”
???
What the hell? Lily directly grabbed the arm of the dark-skinned Lily and scolded her with a frown, “Stop messing around! If you act like this, I won’t let you out again!”
“Unfair! You’ve had fun all afternoon! It’s my turn! Master, please bestow your affection upon Sinu, Master~ Sinu wants you~”
Whoa, she’s too open. She’s as troublesome a little demon as Lan. And she’s dark-skinned, her attire, her skin color, her words and actions – it’s all so seductive.
“…I shouldn’t have let you out! Give it back! Go back!” Lily, angered and ashamed, grabbed the dark-skinned Lily’s demon tail and yanked it hard, actually pulling it off. The dark-skinned Lily clutched her backside, bared her teeth at Lily, and shrieked, “Eek! Original body… Hateful! I hate you! Why won’t you let me out too! Isn’t it better if we’re together! We share the same feelings, right! You can also experience double, even multiple times the pleasure!”
“Talk about it when you can control yourself.”
“….Boring! I am your true nature! I am the purest you! I am the Succubus Empress Lilith! I care more about Master than you do! I can serve Master better! That’s why I should be the original body! Why is it you! Why is it you…”
Before she could finish, the dark-skinned Lily, whose tail had been pulled off, turned purely black again and reverted to Lily’s shadow. I was completely bewildered. What just happened?
