Chapter 20: A Night of Passion, But Not with a Succubus
"My name is Lorena. I am the one who will be spending a passionate night with you, dear guest. Or perhaps, it is better to say I am a succubus. Hehehe~"
The succubus introduced herself with a charming laugh, her hands beginning to wander freely over Kobayashi's body.
His face, his arms, his thighs, his waist.
Her touch was light and delicate. It was less of a caress and more of a tease. Each time her skin made contact with his, it was just a light graze before she moved away, only to repeat the action after a short interval.
Goosebumps rose all over Kobayashi's skin, yet his body couldn't muster any resistance. The feeling of playing hard to get continuously stimulated his nerves.
It wasn't until Lorena's hand lightly brushed past his collarbone that he couldn't help but let out a small cry.
"Hehehe, is this a sensitive spot for you, guest?"
She was clearly pleased by Kobayashi's reaction. The small, heart-shaped tail behind her swayed back and forth in the air, her eyes grew moist, and a bewitching, alluring aura slowly emanated from her. She was soothing Kobayashi's nerves while also searching for his sensitive spots.
As expected of a succubus, she had skills!
"Guest, could you tell me your name?" Lorena said, rubbing her cheek against Kobayashi's, their faces intimately close.
She purred in a teasing, seductive tone, "Although I am a succubus, I still wish to know the name of the person I will be spending a passionate night with. I wonder if you could grant me this small wish, dear guest~~~"
Her thick, wavy blonde hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Dense eyelashes, enchanting eyes, and sexy, full lips—a face that was flawless even up close. Paired with her very daring succubus outfit, she exuded an infinite charm at all times.
Her bewitching demeanor was plain to see.
Kobayashi felt like something was about to drip from his nose. He tilted his head back slightly to prevent an embarrassing situation.
"Kobayashi. My name is Kobayashi."
"Kobayashi... I see. I will remember this day forever."
"I think I will too."
Seeing Kobayashi's somewhat serious and formal, yet cute appearance, Lorena could no longer hold back and excitedly embraced him. A soft, sweet fragrance rushed into his nostrils and straight to his brain.
With Aqua, one reason was her passive ability that forced a "Sage State," and the other was that he simply couldn't see her as an object of fantasy.
Lorena was different.
When it came to seducing men, she was a professional! Although she had never had practical experience, she had certainly done her homework in "Succubus 101." Seducing an innocent young boy like him was child's play, wasn't it?
But something was strange.
Kobayashi wasn't as impulsive as he had imagined he would be.
It might be hard to understand, but Kobayashi felt that he should have been acting more impulsively.
Aqua and Lorena were different. Being close with the idiot goddess made one's heart calm and tranquil, while Lorena brought a sense of playful excitement. It was just a pity that this feeling wasn't as strong as the one he got from Aqua; the comparison felt a little unbalanced.
Wait a minute, could it be that I don't care about looks and care more about magical essence?!
He was reminded of a fatal topic from a certain review guide, debating which was more popular: a 500-year-old beautiful elf or a 50-year-old human woman. Although the situation was different, the essence was the same.
Kobayashi was on the verge of a breakdown.
"How cruel, to be distracted while being intimate with me. Is it because I'm not charming enough, or are you thinking about another woman, Kobayashi?"
The succubus complained softly, her coquettish voice constantly plucking at his heartstrings. She lifted his chin to look him straight in the eyes, and cute pink hearts appeared in hers.
You can't just let those hearts appear!
The pink hearts seemed to be some kind of signal. Kobayashi felt her bewitching power intensify again. Although it still couldn't compete with Aqua's, he still showed her the appropriate respect.
Feeling the "dagger," Lorena revealed a satisfied smile and struck a seductive pose.
"Shouldn't the man be the one to take the lead in this kind of situation?"
"Sorry, I'm coming!"
Kobayashi stopped overthinking and prepared to pounce like a hungry tiger on a sheep.
However—
The next second, a futuristic-looking mechanical scythe was placed horizontally against his neck. The icy chill from the blade and the dangerous aura coming from behind him instantly sent a shiver down his spine, and the heat in his body rapidly subsided.
"Master Kobayashi, to think there exists a master in this world who would send his maid away to fool around with another woman. Tell me, what should I do with such a master?"
His head turned stiffly, like a rusty robot.
"Miss... Ryu-RyuZU...?!"
"Yes, my master. What are your orders?"
RyuZU smiled elegantly, not looking angry at all... if one only looked at her appearance. As someone who believed in etiquette, even if she was angry, she would never lose her composure and start cursing. Instead, like an elegant noble, she would condemn him with her sharp tongue and imposing pressure.
"I was concerned for your safety, so after sending the other masters home, I hurried back..."
RyuZU seemed to be explaining why she was here. She tilted her head, looking at Kobayashi and Lorena.
"I wonder what you are doing, Master Kobayashi? Could it be that you are discussing some important business with her? In a succubus shop? In bed? Your tastes are truly unique, Master Kobayashi."
She knows exactly what's happening, and she's not letting up with the venomous remarks!
"A pity. It seems it won't be happening today," Lorena said, seeing the situation was not in her favor, and immediately prepared to flee. "Let's talk about the rest next time. I look forward to your next visit, guest. I will be sure to personally attend to you then."
With that, she left through a side door.
...She's leaving me with this mess?!
Kobayashi's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Master Kobayashi, please avert your gaze. That succubus has already left."
After the room was empty except for the two of them, RyuZU went on a full-scale offensive. "I never knew your tastes were so unique. Do you have a thing for succubi? Or is it that you can accept anyone as long as they are not human? What a pity. I am a top-class mechanical automaton. Perhaps a clockmaker of a lesser rank could satisfy your base desires."
"W-well, about that..."
"What is it? Are you not going to try and make some excuses like those shameless masters who are caught in bed cheating?"
Knowing he was in the wrong, Kobayashi couldn't retort. But seeing RyuZU's reaction, he said uncertainly, "RyuZU, could it be that you're... jealous?"
"Jealous? Is Master Kobayashi worthy of my jealousy? Besides, what does jealousy feel like?"
"Sorry, I was being presumptuo—"
"I just feel that it is... unacceptable."
"Eh?"
"Because I am Master Kobayashi's attendant, yet when you had a need, you did not seek me out, but instead went to a succubus to resolve it... I feel that it is very unacceptable."
A clear look of disappointment appeared in RyuZU's eyes, as if she believed she was not a worthy attendant.
"No, no, no, you're a mechanical automaton, right?!"
"Oh my, it seems your understanding of me is still insufficient, Master Kobayashi. Although many of my functions have not been implemented, I can still satisfy some of your basic needs."
RyuZU slowly walked towards Kobayashi, as if she were about to do something bad.
Kobayashi immediately took a large step back, waving his hands and shaking his head. "Wait! RyuZU, you're my most important maid! I don't want to hurt you... Don't come here, don't come here... Don't you come over here!!!"
However, in his current state, he was no match for RyuZU. The scene changed, and the two of them were back in their room at the party's base. Despite his strong resistance, he was no match for RyuZU's assertiveness and could only let her have her way with him.
That night, he experienced RyuZU's power.
Although he didn't get to experience more due to his own limitations, the extent to which she could achieve such realism with numerous soft materials made him marvel that "Y" was truly a genius.
