"Quick—now—right here~"
Ivsha longed to tear apart the veiling clouds and, beneath the watchful gaze of the God of Light's statue, betray the Holy Light itself.
"Wait! If we do it here, won't the nuns discover us?" Kurose Akira asked urgently.
"Don't worry~"
Ivsha gently removed her nun's cap. Dark-violet hair spilled free like a cascading waterfall, shimmering with an enchanting glow under the flickering candlelight.
She leaned closer, lowering her body and pressing her lips near Akira's ear as she whispered softly,"They're all asleep~ This is the perfect time to feed~"
Huff~
Along with her whisper came Ivsha's breath—sweet, damp, and warm.
Hiss~
Akira felt his very soul tremble, as if Ivsha were offering some kind of blasphemous prayer directly to his spirit.
But what shook him even more—
For some reason, he seemed to see afterimages of Ivsha.
No—Something was wrong.
Why was it that the more he looked at Ivsha now, the more she resembled Idis?
Their appearances were almost identical, yes—but their aura and hair color were clearly different!
Ivsha's long hair flowed like water in deep violet hues, while Idis wore wine-red locks, the tips slightly curled, lending her the mature allure of an adult woman.
There were differences between them…
Wait!
What am I even thinking?
Could it be that after just two "dates" with Idis, I'd already fallen for her?
Something must be wrong with me!
…Wait.Is it really wrong?
With Idis's face and figure, anyone who felt nothing toward her—
That would be abnormal, wouldn't it?
No wonder she hid her true appearance. If she revealed it openly, the entire Starfall Kingdom would probably be thrown into chaos!
"Kurose Akira, sir? What are you thinking about?"
As he drifted deeper into his thoughts, Ivsha's puzzled voice pulled him back to reality.
Akira lifted his head slightly and saw a trace of disappointment flickering in Ivsha's eyes.
It was as though, just as she was savoring the pleasure of feeding, her partner had wandered off into unrelated thoughts. As a succubus, that carried a faint sense of humiliation.
But—this feeling of being ignored…
It wasn't entirely unpleasant?
At the very least, it made her heart beat a little faster.
"Ah—don't misunderstand, Ivsha, I really—"
Akira tried to explain, but Ivsha gently pressed a fingertip against his lips.
Her pale-violet eyes shimmered faintly, like distant stars, dazzling and mysterious. With a sultry smile, she whispered,
"There's no need to explain, my master. Some things don't need words. I can understand your heart. All you need to do… is let the Holy Light blaze within my soul~"
As she spoke, she slowly lifted her veil…
"Ah~"
"Heavens~"
"Is it really glowing and heating up?"
Ivsha's eyes suddenly widened, her pupils filling with tiny heart-shaped sparkles, brimming with boundless surprise and anticipation.
[Ivsha's desire is surging!][Current Desire: 233!]
"It's the Holy Light~ mmm~"
(What follows is a devout nun's earnest prayer to the Holy Light. The next one hundred thousand words are omitted…)
...
A flash of white light—
Akira returned to the guild, utterly drained.
By the time he made it back, it was already deep into the night.
In those few short hours just now, he had truly understood what Idis meant. After Ivsha leveled up, her desire had continued to skyrocket. Just moments ago, she'd fallen in love with the sensation of faint light seeping through the skin of his lower abdomen, the gradual rise in heat—she'd even wanted to turn up the temperature further…
Cough, cough!
If not for Sister Kelly hearing some strange noises and coming to patrol the cathedral hall, he probably wouldn't have made it back at all tonight!
"Idis was telling the truth… Ivsha's desire is getting stronger and stronger."
He murmured to himself, unease and anxiety filling his heart. He knew it clearly—if he didn't become stronger, sooner or later…
Hiss—
Succubi!
"Ha…"
"Let's recruit a new adventurer first. Can't keep that little one waiting forever."
With a long sigh, Akira strolled over to the guild counter and picked up the green-quality recruitment scroll.
Compared to white-quality recruitment scrolls, green ones had a chance—however slim—of recruiting Epic-quality units, even though the probability was only 0.01%.
Aside from Epics, green scrolls offered a 3% chance for Elite-quality recruits and 10% for Rare-quality ones. The rates were much better than white scrolls—but most people still ended up pulling Common-quality adventurers.
"Before recruiting…"
Akira took out the Spirit Doll, gently pinching her soft, adorable cheek to wake her from sleep.
"Ah~ That hurts~" the Spirit Doll complained coquettishly as she stirred.
"Huh? Master! Is it time to summon me? Has the moment finally come?!"
Her cheerful voice brimmed with anticipation.
"Yeah. This is for you."
Akira took out the Witch's Silk Scarf and gently tied it around the Spirit Doll's wrist.
"This is… a witch's aura! Thank you, Master~"
[Notice!][Your Spirit Doll Who Likes You a Bit] has changed to [Your Spirit Doll Who Really Likes You]!
"Oh, right—no idea if you'll like these."
Akira pulled two fragments from his inventory. One was an Ice Fragment, radiating cold air; the other, a Flame Chrysalis Fragment, burning with residual heat. Though they had lost their original effects, both still carried traces of a witch's aura. He wasn't sure if the Spirit Doll would like them.
"I lo-lo-lo-love them! I love you the most, the most, the most! My Master!"
[Notice!][Your Spirit Doll Who Really Likes You] has changed to [Your Spirit Doll Who Super-Super-Super Likes You]!
[Current Trait can no longer be changed!]
[Your Spirit Doll Who Super-Super-Super Likes You:She worships you as the god who created her! You are her one and only!Favorability: 100 (+20)!Favorability toward anyone unrelated to you: -50!She will obey all your commands. While executing orders, all attributes +50%!Grants immunity to mental magic!]
"Oh?"
Akira raised an eyebrow, genuine surprise flashing across his face as he read the Spirit Doll's innate trait.
He hadn't expected a condition that boosted his favorability while simultaneously lowering that of others. And in terms of raw numbers—Ivsha's favorability was only at 100 (+5), yet the Spirit Doll's starting favorability had directly reached 100 (+20)!
Maxed-out favorability right from the start…Who knows what kind of surprises that would bring?
As his thoughts settled, Akira gently lifted the green recruitment scroll and tossed it upward with force. In that instant, the entire guild was suffused with a solemn, mysterious atmosphere—like a sacred ritual was underway.
My turn.Draw a card!
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh~
The green recruitment scroll floated through the air, radiating dazzling light that illuminated the entire guild hall.
At the same time, a chaotic array of traits flashed before Akira's eyes:
[Your Spirit Doll Who Super-Super-Super Likes You][Dark Chocolate][Fish Tail][Nocturnal Activity][Zombie][Hates Studying][White-Stockings Maid][Strawberry Flavor]
