"This way, you don't have to worry about being seen by outsiders!"
Under the night sky, the full moon shone softly, bathing the world in silver light. It was a beautiful, almost magical scene.
A faint sweetness lingered in the air, adding to the charm of the moment.
The night… was intoxicatingly beautiful.
Eri couldn't help but shout in disbelief,
"Yukiko, you're insane! Let me go!"
"Akashi! You can't do this—I'm your aunt!"
But Yukiko showed no signs of mercy.
After all, she was a seasoned schemer—especially when it came to tricking her best friend.
More than that, she was looking forward to seeing the mighty Queen of the Emperor's Court thoroughly embarrassed.
With mischief dancing in her eyes, Yukiko grinned devilishly and urged,
"Akashi, come on! Sister will help you! Hit her! Quickly!"
At that moment, Yukiko only lacked a pair of horns to complete her transformation into a little devil.
Having just been teased and tormented in various ways, the young Shota stood up with revenge in his heart.
How could he possibly miss this golden opportunity?
With a gleeful expression, the little succubus rubbed his hands together and blew into his palms—just like a martial artist preparing for battle.
Every single movement made Eri panic.
Bound and helpless, the Queen of Law swayed and struggled with what strength she had left.
Smack!
A crisp sound echoed through the room.
That indomitable will of hers… it truly earned Akashi's respect for a brief moment.
Unfortunately for Eri, she had already drunk quite a bit earlier in the evening—her strength was nearly depleted.
Smack!
The sound rang out loud and clear, cutting through the silent night like a whip.
"Wooo…"
Eri's phoenix-like eyes filled with tears. She looked aggrieved, as though she might cry at any moment.
How could this happen?
Why would Akashi team up with Yukiko to hit me?
I've always been so good to him!
How unforgivable!
I'm his elder!
"Akashi… you little brat!"
But the succubus Shota didn't care about titles or hierarchy.
His expression remained excited and unrepentant.
Without a shred of hesitation, he began his counterattack.
His small hands struck left and right—one after the other!
Even LV3's Grasp of Immortality was activated.
Two invisible hands materialized in the air and joined the assault.
A relentless four-handed combo erupted, bombarding Eri wildly.
It sounded like a heavy rain hitting banana leaves—sharp, fast, and unrelenting.
"This is too good!"
"W-WHAT!?"
Eri's eyes widened.
What… what's going on?!
Why does it feel like… there are so many hands?
Mid-combo, Akashi even triggered a critical hit!
"Hmm!"
Eri bit her lip hard.
As a proud and strong-willed woman, she refused to let out a single cry of pain and pleasure—not in front of Akashi and Yukiko.
She endured silently.
A pitiful, whimpering sound escaped her lips, not unlike a puppy's.
Eri clung tightly to Yukiko's thigh—scratching so hard that even Yukiko gasped in pain.
"Ah! Eri, don't pinch me! That hurts!"
It was like all three of them were connected in a bizarre chain reaction.
But Akashi didn't let up.
The four-handed flurry continued without mercy, and red marks quickly began to appear across Eri's fair skin.
In the end, it wasn't Eri who gave up first—it was Yukiko.
She finally loosened her grip, unable to take any more.
Eri collapsed off the futon, finally escaping Akashi's relentless onslaught.
She lay on the floor, panting and trembling slightly, too weak to get up.
Meanwhile, Yukiko—already drunk—wobbled forward and collapsed beside Akashi.
Her misty eyes were filled with grievance as she pouted and said,
"Akashi~ she pinched me so hard! It hurts… You need to kiss me to make it better!"
Drunk Yukiko spoke purely from instinct.
She was well aware of Akashi's identity as a little succubus—and the magical healing effect of his kiss, known as "Imported Sugar."
Every time she experienced a breakdown, her body would be sore all over.
A single kiss from Akashi would always relieve the pain.
So, naturally, Yukiko remembered this well.
Without hesitation, she wrapped her arms around Akashi's shoulders and kissed him!
Eri, who had been lying there to recover, suddenly jolted upright.
Her eyes widened in shock.
She—she actually did it?!
Akashi is still a child!
Yukiko… how could you take advantage of my Akashi?!
It felt like lightning struck Eri's forehead. Her mind went blank.
Then, Yukiko's words echoed in her memory—
"How do I go about getting a divorce?"
At that moment, something clicked.
Eri was stunned, completely speechless.
She opened her mouth to stop Yukiko—
But before she could say anything, Yukiko released Akashi and gave a contented smile.
"Mmm… Akashi is still so sweet~"
With that, she collapsed backward onto the futon and fell sound asleep.
Apparently, the healing effects of the "imported sugar" had kicked in, erasing her pain—and sending her straight into a drunken slumber.
Thus ended Yukiko's grand plan.
She had failed to monopolize the succubus Shota.
Akashi let out a long breath.
That made things easier for him.
Originally, he had planned to deal with both Eri and Yukiko.
Now that one was down for the count, he could spare her—for now.
But before he could move, Eri pulled him back in front of her.
"Akashi…" she said, her voice low and a little hoarse.
"You and Yukiko… what's going on between you two?"
Given how much wine she had drunk and how roughly she'd been beaten up just now, she should have passed out like Yukiko.
But Eri's will was too strong.
She had pushed through, fueled by sheer emotional shock.
Akashi simply smiled and replied,
"Because if you kiss me, it won't hurt anymore."
And before she could respond, he leaned forward—
—and kissed Eri's pink lips.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
Yukiko… had been telling the truth?!
As the yin energy flowed between them, LV3's Imported Sugar skill activated once more.
A healing warmth spread through Eri's body, soothing her injuries.
The red marks that had covered her body moments ago faded away, leaving her skin smooth and fair again.
But Akashi wasn't done.
Seeing that Eri was still tipsy, he figured—
Why not push her a little further?
And so, he activated another set of skills—
A faint electric current began to dance across Eri's body.
