She was not satisfied at all, not in terms of energy, nor the nutrition Ye Lu needed as a succubus.
But this kind of thing required mutual consent. Since the Prince had already stopped, how could she bring it up?
After she pulled away, the Prince didn’t linger—meaning she and Bell should follow him to reclaim the contracted pets.
Still, considering how thoughtful the Prince was, it was acceptable.
On the lawn, it was already morning, the sunlight strong.
He had worked up quite a sweat from the trip earlier. He wiped it off and looked up at the sky.
Sure enough, not a single monster remained. Much cleaner.
Ye Lu had just caught her breath when she saw the Prince extend a hand in front of her face.
Confused, she looked at the object in his palm and immediately brightened with joy.
Heehee. A magic crystal.
And it was B-rank!
Round and plump, glittering in the Prince’s hand.
Something an ordinary person couldn’t even dream of obtaining in their lifetime.
Was the Prince going to…
‘What is this…’
She couldn’t very well ask outright, so she pretended to be clueless, pointing at the crystal.
“Prince, what is this…?”
“It’s for you, Miss Ye Lu.”
“Really? … Thank you!”
Her heart was about to melt.
She took the B-rank crystal from his hand, held it to her chest with both hands, and genuinely adored it to no end.
She almost hopped in place twice.
‘I know I’m acting just like any ordinary woman in love…’
‘But I don’t want to overthink it.’
‘After all, this is the first gift the Prince has ever given me…’
“Mm… hehe… I love it…”
She couldn’t help saying she loved it.
And it made her wet again.
Looking into the Prince’s sincere eyes,
Ye Lu’s own eyes were even more genuine—not only full of love, but with pink heart shapes floating in them.
After a while, their gazes met.
He smiled first, and habitually, as if petting a cat, placed his hand on her head and stroked.
“Good, as long as you like it.”
His voice was soft and warm.
“Mm~”
‘I don’t know why, but the Prince today seems different.’
‘He’s not cold at all, and he doesn’t have that daytime teacher persona.’
‘He’s like a true prince.’
…Though his emotional intelligence still annoyed even Ye Lu, who used to be a straight guy.
But it was enough. Could it be that her taking the initiative to kiss him made him so happy?
If she could make the Prince treat her well every day, she would kiss him every day.
Even if it meant getting pregnant…
She daydreamed in her mind.
But the Prince’s next words left her frozen in place.
The B-rank magic crystal in her hand wobbled unsteadily and nearly slipped.
“Hmph, it’s nothing important.”
“Just a little toy that only lower life-forms would obsess over.”
“?”
“L-lower life-forms…?”
“Yeah…”
“But for you, Miss Ye Lu, it’s actually quite suitable.”
“Wha…”
“Because you’re weak, Miss Ye Lu.”
“Wha—!”
“Weak… I’m…?”
She was so hurt she nearly cried.
“Yes, you’re weak.”
The tears fell!
Wah wah…
He spoke bluntly: “That’s why low-level magic crystals suit you. If not, your strength can’t improve.”
‘Oh, so that’s it.’
Ye Lu clutched the magic crystal tighter to her chest and whispered, “Strength… doesn’t matter to me…”
“Um… forgive my selfishness, but since it’s the first gift from the Prince…”
“I… I don’t want to consume this…”
“I want to keep it as a memento.”
“Is that okay…”
“Besides… hasn’t the Prince heard? Eating this kind of thing doesn’t actually help succubus girls improve their strength…”
After saying that, she looked up timidly at the Prince’s face.
“Is that so? Then I miscalculated.”
“No, no! The Prince is right!”
“I miscalculated!”
“No, no!”
“Wuh…?”
She didn’t know what to do and was about to comfort the Prince when—
The B-rank magic crystal she was clutching tightly in her hands was snatched away by the Prince.
?!
What?!
What!
Ye Lu was dumbfounded.
She watched helplessly as the Prince squeezed it, and the crystal shattered like an ordinary glass ball.
No!
Ye Lu’s heart ached. She reached out, feeling like she was about to break too.
The next moment, she blinked.
She saw the Prince, as if performing magic, conjure a much larger, more dazzling orb out of thin air.
Merely resting in his palm, the air around it seemed burdened with a thousand pounds of weight.
S-rank…?
The Prince held it out to her.
“…Prince?”
“If Miss Ye Lu doesn’t mind, here’s a prettier one for you.”
“Ah!”
.
.
.
Hmm~ Hehe~
She hummed a tuneless little ditty.
Blissfully, she hugged one of the Prince’s dangling arms, deliberately pressing her former most-hated burden—her chest—against it.
It was almost deformed against his arm.
Not satisfied, she rubbed and squeezed intentionally.
Then she looked up full of expectation to see the Prince’s expression.
Disappointment…
Her tail drooped again.
Hmm… his smile was ordinary.
He wasn’t turned on.
He wasn’t even tempted by her body.
Disappointment +2.
She shifted her gaze to the front, then secretly glanced to the right.
Disappointment +3!
Why?!
Was it still too small?!
But… it was already an E-cup…
Wah wah…
Her shoulders were sore from the weight every day.
No way.
If… if it were a little bigger…
She couldn’t help but let her thoughts run wild, but soon she heard a “hmph.”
Ye Lu frowned and looked to the left.
Bell was covering his mouth, with an expression of “good” as he looked away.
‘Hey, you just laughed, didn’t you?’
‘…Damn Bell was watching the whole time!’
She was conflicted, afraid to guess what her best friend was thinking.
Even though he was a guy…
Just a few days ago he was complaining about the awkwardness of this body, and now…
She dared not think about it. The boomerang had finally hit her.
‘I’m sure he understands.’
‘After all, a female succubus is like this…’
‘Can’t help it—drawn to men, body and soul. There’s no way around it…’
‘Speaking of which, why did Bell and the Prince suddenly become so close?’
‘Wasn’t he scared out of his mind just seeing the Prince before?’
And so, following the Prince’s footsteps,
She deliberately tried to ignore Bell’s presence the whole way.
But like a horny succubus, she became very clingy.
She refused to let go for a long time.
Though she had to admit…
But the Prince smelled so good, and his body was so warm.
…
Before she knew it, they arrived at the teleport point in the center of the Dark Forest.
The teleportation device in front of them was still pitch-black, like a black hole.
But she had heard that this great magic was originally developed by a Celestial Demon entrusted with the task.
Could it be the Prince?
“Let’s go in.”
“Mm…”
As she walked in holding the Prince’s arm, Bell followed closely.
Just like when they entered, her body felt light as soon as she touched it.
When her vision refocused, dazzling sunlight hit her eyes.
The next moment, the scene of the lawn they had left appeared before them, and she saw the classmates crowded around.
They had already returned, including the Teacher, who noticed the disturbance and all turned to look at Ye Lu.
Ye Lu abruptly let go of the Prince’s arm.
Her eyes darted around.
After a moment, she looked forward in shame.
Wuh?
… Xiao Ye had come back too?
She was chatting absentmindedly with a group of punk girls, but the disturbance caught her attention. She steadied herself and turned around.
The moment she saw Ye Lu, she beamed, trotted over, and gently tugged Ye Lu’s hand.
“You’re alive! Ye Lu, you’re amazing!”
