Chapter 40 - Chapter 38: Episode 37 - Succubus Miel
At Seon-ah's urgent shout, Yu-rin forced her heavy body upright.
She remembered reaching out and grabbing Seon-ah just as the succubus was about to kidnap him moments ago.
A clanking sound echoed.
When she opened her eyes, she found her hands cuffed to the wall on either side.
The handcuffs were attached to chains, and no matter how hard she pulled, she couldn't get free.
Seon-ah looked at the now-conscious Yu-rin and said.
"Yu-rin-ah... thank goodness. Are you okay?"
Seon-ah was completely naked, his body fully exposed.
Yu-rin checked herself over.
Seon-ah must have helped her recover while she was out, because aside from a lingering fatigue, she was in better shape than expected.
But the heaviness weighing on her body didn't seem to come from her own condition.
It felt like the very air was pressing down on her.
She had a rough idea of their situation.
While she was unconscious, that succubus had obviously locked them in this room.
Strangely, though, Seon-ah wasn't tied up—he could move freely around the room.
"Seon-ah-ya. Did she do anything to you? You're okay?"
Worried the succubus or other monsters might have touched him, she asked urgently.
"I'm fine. After she locked us in, she didn't do anything. Not yet..."
So it seemed she hadn't touched him yet.
But Seon-ah sounded like he already knew what was coming.
She wondered why the succubus hadn't killed him, why she locked him up here instead—and why she hadn't touched him yet.
Anxiety bloomed in Yu-rin's chest at the strangeness of it all.

Succubus Miel—with her blonde hair, smooth tanned skin, and sheep-like horns—was on her way to report to her mother after returning from the expedition.
She had to report the painful loss of all her subordinates on her first expedition.
Even though those troops were a gift from her mother, she knew her mother would be deeply disappointed.
Losing everyone, suffering near-total annihilation—her sisters must have never experienced such a failure.
She stopped outside her mother's office.
Heart pounding, she knocked and entered.
Her mother spoke first, sounding pleased to see her.
"Miel, you returned safely from the expedition?"
"Well... I lost all my subordinates."
Her mother always used a kind tone, but she was a succubus whose impatient, nasty side came out when she was angry.
So she had to be careful, keep it brief, and avoid useless chatter.
"I'm disappointed, Miel. I believed in you."
"But I found something. I captured an Awakened human male, probably a hunter."
In demon society, Awakened human males were considered premium goods.
That's because among human males, Awakened individuals were extremely rare compared to females, and they were sturdy enough to produce higher-quality semen for much longer than ordinary males.
Her mother considered that for a moment.
"That alone makes the loss of sixteen orcs worth it. But don't expect praise. What reckless thing did you do?"
"While we were capturing him, a female Awakened attacked us. She single-handedly killed all the orcs. I barely escaped with the male."
"And that woman?"
"After she killed the orcs, she seemed exhausted, so I killed her."
A lie.
If she told her mother she'd brought the female Awakened to the Demon World, her mother would probably have killed her.
She lied to her mother because she had her own plans. She couldn't let her mother kill the female she intended to use as her own toy.
"Hoo... It can't be helped. But I won't give you separate troops for the next expedition. Whether you hire mercenaries or raise orc soldiers yourself, that's your problem."
Absurd.
With this report, news would spread through the territory that she'd lost all her troops.
Finding anyone willing to serve under her after that disaster was nearly impossible.
"Are you done? Get out."
Her mother's kind demeanor from earlier was gone. She coldly dismissed her.
She seemed really pissed off.
Afraid of getting caught in the crossfire, she quickly said her goodbyes and left.
'Haa... what do I do now...'
That damn bitch. The orc troops she gave me were just sixteen fresh recruits who'd barely finished training and barely had their equipment sorted, yet she acted like she'd done me a huge favor.
And now that I lost them, she's dumping all the blame on me.
If she'd at least assigned a veteran as an adjutant to help me, I could have used proper tactics and not lost everyone so stupidly.
She knew that, but she still blamed me heavily.
She was my mother, but she was a pain in the ass.
After silently cursing her mother, she started worrying about her next move.
Getting the territory's elite soldiers to serve under her was out of the question.
Rumors would spread like wildfire soon.
'Should I hire mercenaries... the kind who do anything for money?'
But she didn't have nearly enough money to hire mercenaries.
Even if she used every last coin, she doubted she could afford even five low-ranked ones.
And low-ranked mercenaries were even worse than the territory's freshly trained elites, so hiring them was pointless.
So she had to find a way to make money.
Then she thought of the male.
A high-quality male brings in money.
But selling him would be a waste.
Because for her special desires, she needed both that human female and the male.
After agonizing for a while, Succubus Miel came up with a good idea.
She thought of using the high-quality male as a seed-sower.
She could make him sell his body like a prostitute, earn money, or lend him to the territory's elite soldiers and then form a master-servant contract to make him her subordinate.
This way, she could raise funds to hire mercenaries and also entice elite soldiers to become her subordinates by paying them salaries.
When she stripped the male completely, his genitals looked quite large.
It was a good idea—tempting, since anyone who got a taste of that high-quality goods would be hooked.
And imagining the male being ravished right in front of that female Awakened was thrilling in itself. She could satisfy her own twisted desires too.
Killing two birds with one stone—no, three.
She'd lost all her troops, but she felt like she'd gained something even bigger.
Miel couldn't stop grinning as she looked forward to what was coming.

Seon-ah and Yu-rin felt their stomachs churn as they realized what was coming.
Thinking about what lay ahead while they were trapped together made them dizzy.
Yu-rin was terrified that Seon-ah would be brutally raped. Seon-ah, on the other hand, was honestly a little excited about how it would happen. Even though the opponent was a monster, he felt a twisted anticipation for sex—thanks to the drug conditioning Yu-rin had put him through.
His body, broken in by Yu-rin's daily assaults and corrupted by drugs, now craved sex several times a day.

He wanted to be taken ruthlessly, swallowed whole—but at the same time, he was terrified and disgusted with himself for becoming this way.
As he racked his brain with worry, time slipped by.
Then he sensed a presence outside the door—the door he'd prayed would stay shut.
The door creaked open, revealing the blonde succubus who had kidnapped them.
"Awake, are you? Feeling better?"
The succubus laughed, as if she found the whole situation amusing.
"..."
But the two stayed silent.
They kept quiet, afraid of what might happen if they said the wrong thing.
"Ha... can't even answer. Should I just kill the female?"
The low threat carried a genuine intent to kill Yu-rin on the spot.
"I'm sorry. I think I'm okay now."
Seon-ah answered quickly, fearing she actually meant it.
Even though Yu-rin had raped him multiple times with drugs and forced him into things he never wanted, she was still his childhood friend of fifteen years.
Seon-ah answered instead, drawing the succubus's attention to spare Yu-rin from death or serious injury.
The succubus wore an expression that said she didn't care about their condition at all.
"Then that's fortunate."
Looking at Yu-rin, she continued.
"Oh, right—this male is mine now. I'll do whatever I want with him."
At that, Yu-rin snapped.
"No! Don't you touch Seon-ah! I'll kill you! Fuck! If you lay a single finger on him, I'll tear you apart like your subordinates!"
"As expected, you've got a foul mouth. Maybe I should just kill you now."
The succubus extended her fingernails into claws and approached slowly.
Seon-ah stepped in front of her.
"Please... I'll do anything. Just don't hurt Yu-rin-ah. I'm begging you..."
"Anything?"
The succubus raised an eyebrow, surprised.
"Yes... anything."
"No! Seon-ah, no! I don't care what happens to me! Don't touch him!"
But the succubus ignored Yu-rin's desperate cry.
The succubus had worn this same expression before, when Seon-ah stepped in to protect Yu-rin.
"Then I have a good idea."
She glanced at Yu-rin, then turned her gaze to Seon-ah.
Her eyes roamed over him as if she were licking every inch.
"You'll have to produce as much as that girl killed."
Seon-ah felt dizzy.
Behind him, Yu-rin was screaming, but he couldn't make out a single word.
'What's... going to happen to me now...'
