"Ma~ster, are you looking forward to being eaten by me?"
The triumphant, sweet chuckle sounded in his ear, accompanied by warm breath, as if it had some kind of magic, making his ears tingle.
Amamiya Natsuki took a deep breath and had to admit, his heart rate had indeed quickened.
Rather, under the passive allure of the Succubus Girl, no one could remain indifferent.
"It's only been two days since I came over," Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help but say, "How did you get so much better?"
"Hmph hmph," Kitagawa Marin hummed triumphantly. "I haven't been idle these past two days. I specifically bought several manga related to succubi to study."
"Now I've mastered the Succubus's exclusive techniques, for example..."
Kitagawa Marin suddenly leaned in and 'chomped' lightly on Amamiya Natsuki's neck.
"...Sudden attack!"
Hey, hey, what kind of exclusive technique is that? Anyone can use a sudden attack!
Kitagawa Marin hummed triumphantly, "Natsuki says no, but his heart rate sped up again."
Amamiya Natsuki: "..."
The 'Succubus' passive ability clearly affected Kitagawa; she wasn't usually this bold.
After dawdling for a while, the Succubus Girl stood up triumphantly, hands on her hips, and said:
"The cosplay accuracy has finally returned to 50%."
Amamiya Natsuki wiped his neck. "Continue."
"Eh?"
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"While Juju hasn't come out yet, let's see if we can continue to increase the accuracy."
"Good point," Kitagawa Marin agreed, nodding. "Succubus Liz, here I come."
A moment later.
"I can't do it anymore, my heart's so tired," Kitagawa Marin said, leaning back on the sofa, choosing to lie flat. "The accuracy still hasn't gone up at all."
"That can only prove one thing," Amamiya Natsuki said, taking out his notebook and recording data, "your direction for role-playing is wrong."
If you choose the wrong direction from the start, no matter how much effort you put in later, it will be useless.
"And your role-playing just now had no breakthrough or progress," Amamiya Natsuki said mercilessly. "You just kept biting me. Besides getting my neck all slobbery, what else was it good for?"
Kitagawa Marin clenched her pink fists and angrily punched Amamiya Natsuki's arm.
"Besides the neck, you can't bite anywhere else!"
Amamiya Natsuki said disdainfully:
"This is the result of your two days of hard study?"
"It's only been two days. I've only read one manga, and the rest of the books haven't been read yet," Kitagawa Marin stammered, feeling a bit guilty. She bent down and took a book from the drawer. "Let's read it now; there might be new techniques inside."
Amamiya Natsuki glanced at the book cover, "The Corporate Slave Wants to Be Healed by a Succubus Girl."
On the cover, there was also a prominent 18+ symbol.
An ordinary girl might blush and be shy, covering it up and being ashamed to speak of it, but Kitagawa Marin had no problem at all. She could even recommend 18+ galgames, so reading this kind of book together was naturally no big deal.
Kitagawa Marin sat leaning next to Amamiya Natsuki and opened the manga.
On the colored title page was a Succubus Girl with black hair and red eyes, possessing a rather cold and alluring aura.
"She looks a bit like Kaguya-san," Kitagawa Marin commented.
"Her figure is completely different."
Amamiya Natsuki complained inwardly.
Her hair color and demeanor were somewhat similar, but her figure was miles apart!
The manga's content was simple: a corporate slave male protagonist struggled alone in a big city, waking up earlier than chickens and sleeping later than dogs, with endless work every day, and a despairingly oppressive life that made it hard to breathe.
One day, the corporate slave bought a mysterious occult book on a used book website, which contained a demon summoning ritual. The corporate slave, lonely to the point of despair, tried to summon a demon, and then a Succubus Girl successfully appeared.
What followed was the warm interaction between the corporate slave and Miss Succubus.
"It feels a bit like 'The Helpful Fox Senko-san'," Kitagawa Marin said, watching with relish. "I also really want a super cute Senko-san. It must feel super comfortable to hug her."
"One isn't enough," Amamiya Natsuki said upon hearing this. "I want two. One fox spirit to hug, and the other to do housework."
"You're too greedy!"
Continuing to read.
This was, after all, an adult manga, not an ordinary romance manga. Before long, Miss Succubus couldn't hold back anymore.
Smack!
Kitagawa Marin's pretty face flushed, and she abruptly closed the book in her hand.
"I'm not reading it," Kitagawa Marin couldn't help but say. "That kind of thing is too much of a sacrifice, and it's not even guaranteed to unlock the accuracy."
"From a rational perspective," Amamiya Natsuki began, "the Succubus Liz you're role-playing and the succubus in the book should be of the same kind."
"Hmm..."
Kitagawa Marin puffed out her cheeks and looked over, then suddenly her eyes widened: "Charm!"
Amamiya Natsuki was caught off guard. He only felt as if the Succubus Girl's eyes spun like a kaleidoscope in front of him. A strange dizziness filled his mind, and suppressed emotions rapidly grew. Driven by instinct, he couldn't help but reach out his right hand and wrap it around the Succubus Girl's soft, slender waist.
"Eh, eh?"
Kitagawa Marin was startled.
This look... did the charm succeed?
What did Natsuki want to do?
Why did he suddenly hug her?
Shouldn't a charmed person just stare blankly?
Seeing Amamiya Natsuki getting closer and closer, the distance between them quickly became only a fist's width, and Kitagawa Marin's heart couldn't help but beat rapidly.
Oh, no.
Should I dodge?
He's too strong, I can't dodge.
"Natsuki, wake up!"
Marin Kitagawa's pretty face flushed crimson as she nervously called out.
However, her voice sounded exceptionally distant to Amamiya Natsuki's ears. The dizziness in his mind persisted, and driven by instinct, Amamiya Natsuki instinctively lowered his head and kissed the soft, warm lips of the golden-haired girl.
Marin Kitagawa's eyelashes trembled violently, then quickly closed her eyes.
(He… he really kissed me…)
(If only I had known this would happen, I would have used the Charm skill earlier!)
Marin Kitagawa nervously closed her eyes and couldn't help but reach out her arms, wanting to embrace Amamiya Natsuki's neck.
Unfortunately, the next moment, the sound of a door opening suddenly rang out.
"…Juju-sama is still here!"
Marin Kitagawa suddenly sobered up, quickly turned her head away to dodge, and then delivered a headbutt to Amamiya Natsuki's forehead.
Bang!
"What are you two doing?"
Juju-sama's pink lips parted slightly, utterly astonished.
"Nothing." Marin Kitagawa sat up straight and quickly said, "…We were just comparing whose forehead was harder!"
Amamiya Natsuki clutched his forehead. The dizziness in his mind had dissipated, and his consciousness had returned to clarity.
Looking at the golden-haired girl whose pretty face was flushed like fire and who kept winking at him, Amamiya Natsuki wiped the corner of his lips and cooperated:
"I lost, but it wasn't a loss."
Marin Kitagawa turned her head and glared at him.
"I'm not a child…"
Juju-sama was speechless.
You two don't need to hide what you're doing from me, do you?
"Ahem." Marin Kitagawa lightly coughed twice and changed the subject, "Juju, how's your Roleplay Rate now?"
"It's still the same as before." Juju-sama bit her lower lip, her tone a little troubled, "The Roleplay Rate hasn't changed at all, even though I modified the clothes."
"Don't worry, we'll explore slowly, and we'll definitely find a way to increase the Roleplay percentage." Marin Kitagawa suddenly exclaimed, "Eh? Eh?!"
"What's wrong?"
Amamiya Natsuki looked over.
"My Roleplay percentage…" Marin Kitagawa pursed her pink lips and looked at Amamiya Natsuki, "It just increased."
Their eyes met.
Both understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
It seemed that Marin's succubus role indeed needed to increase its Roleplay Rate through more seductive means.
Amamiya Natsuki said, "Want to try again later?"
"No."
Marin Kitagawa's pretty face flushed crimson as she quickly refused.
It's not like biting someone's neck; how could something like that be tried just like that!
"Then we'll talk about it later." Amamiya Natsuki looked at the pink-haired girl, "It's pretty clear now that clothes can only unlock character role-playing. To increase the Roleplay Rate, you need to take actual action… What do you think is the mission of a magical girl?"
Marin Kitagawa raised her hand and said:
"To fight evil and save the Earth?"
Earth-kun isn't as fragile as you think, and it doesn't need saving.
Juju-sama didn't speak immediately, a hesitant expression appearing on her small face. After two seconds of hesitation, she whispered:
"When I was little, I was weaker and often got sick with colds, and then I was isolated by my classmates…"
Seemingly a little embarrassed, Juju-sama pursed her pink lips before continuing:
"At that time, I just wished I had a magical girl as a friend."
"How mean." Marin Kitagawa reached out and hugged Juju tightly, "Juju-sama is so cute, how could anyone be cruel enough to bully her."
"How about now?"
"Is anyone bullying Juju at school?"
"Tell us, and Natsuki and I will go teach them a lesson!"
"No, in high school, everyone is busy studying and doesn't have time to bully people." Juju-sama struggled constantly, "Let me go."
Amamiya Natsuki said from the side:
"Leaving aside saving the world, magical girls should bring joy and hope to others. So, to become a true magical girl, you shouldn't practice alone in your room; you should go out and help those who need help."
"Eh?"
Juju-sama was startled. After thinking carefully, it actually made some sense.
"I suddenly thought of a question." Marin Kitagawa wrapped her right arm around her chest, "We can't bring real-life clothes into the game, so how do we start character role-playing in the game?"
"Prepare in advance." Amamiya Natsuki said, "Now, before the game starts, there's always preparation time. Put on the uniform beforehand. Clothes worn on the body are necessities and are defaulted to be allowed into the game world."
Marin Kitagawa asked again:
"But how do you increase the Roleplay Rate in the game?"
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"After receiving the game notification, try to increase the Roleplay Rate as much as possible during the preparation time."
Marin Kitagawa nodded and said:
"That makes sense… But some dungeons have very short preparation times, won't there be enough time?"
"If there's not enough time, then so be it." Amamiya Natsuki said speechlessly, "Even Zhuge Kongming couldn't prepare for everything perfectly."
"That's true." Marin Kitagawa nodded upon hearing this, "Oh, right, we can verify our hypothesis now… I'll play the bullied girl."
"Juju, you save me as a magical girl."
"Let's do it."
