In the dim little room, a layer of hazy pink light spread out, casting an ambiguous mood.
Keti lay on the large bed in the Casino Private Room, gazing up at the crystal chandelier overhead, and couldn’t help but bite her lip in exasperation.
What… what kind of lamp is this, anyway? Who uses a light like this for illumination? If you tried to read in here, your eyes would go blurry!
Ugh… Fine, it’s not like anyone comes to a place like this to read. People who come here… it’s not for self-study, that’s for sure. The only thing wrong is my own head for even thinking about studying in here.
Grr… Could it be I’ve spent too much time at the Magic Academy lately? But I’m not a student anymore, ugh~
Besides, why is my head spinning so much? In a daze, she suddenly recalled the scene just now—being “teased” by her archrival in front of everyone.
Mmm!
Keti, her mind already a chaotic mess, lay on the bed breathing a bit heavily. The bunny girl uniform she was wearing made her feel completely out of place, waves of shame surging through her.
She tried to pull at the front to cover herself, but the moment her fingers touched the fabric, she realized—
It seemed…
It’s stuck!
Why is this thing so tight?!
“Mmm, Lynn, help me… help me pull this off…”
Half-conscious, the girl instinctively asked for help, completely unaware how “dangerous” her words sounded.
Lynn, who had already stopped moving, chuckled softly when he heard this, and walked over to the bed, sitting down and gently helping the dazed Keti to sit up.
“Mmm… W-what are you doing? Just pull the front of the outfit, that’s all…”
Suddenly being approached by her archrival, Keti didn’t resist much—not that she didn’t want to, but her whole body was weak, she didn’t even have the strength to lift her hands.
She comforted herself inwardly: My archrival shouldn’t do anything to me, right? N…no way, right?
“I’m helping you,” Lynn replied with a hint of laughter in his voice. “But it’s hard to use any force if you’re lying down. Sit up, I’ll give it a little more effort~”
His hands lightly fell on Keti’s shoulders, fingertips carefully feeling through the fabric to find where it was stuck.
“Ah… Mmm, don’t, don’t do that… What are you doing…”
Keti instantly sensed something was wrong. Her cheeks flushed red, and she tried to shy away in panic, but her body wouldn’t listen.
Lynn didn’t stop, patiently adjusting the fabric, and whenever he happened to brush against her skin, it made her shudder involuntarily.
“Didn’t you ask me to help you pull your clothes, little kitten?” Lynn teased. “I’m being very careful, but with a figure as ‘eye-catching’ as yours, it’s no wonder the outfit’s so hard to adjust.”
“You… just grab the edge! Grr… Stop, no… you don’t have to pull it anymore! I-I’m not wearing this bunny girl outfit, is that not okay? Let me go!”
“Oh? If you’re not wearing it, you want to change?” Lynn raised his eyebrows and grinned mischievously.
No way, after all the effort he put in—getting that mafia boss to help him find someone to pretend to be a guard, staging a fake search for demons, getting Layla and Sylvia to help little kitten change outfits—all just to… satisfy his own hobbies.
Ahem, no, it was for little kitten’s sake.
So, a moment later, Lynn leaned close to her ear, his voice lowered a few notches, “But with things as they are, we can’t just call Layla and Sylvia in to help you change, can we? Unless… little kitten wants to undress right in front of me?”
“Mmm! Th-there’s no way! I… I…”
Keti’s breath quickened instantly, her head hanging even lower. Though she protested loudly, she didn’t put up any real resistance.
What made her even more flustered was that a faint pink light seemed to be rising in her pupils—this was her first time reacting like this. Could it be because of… the transformation?
***
In the next second, a strange sensation spread through her body.
If before it was just shame, now, the slight stimulation from her body seemed to transform into strands of magic power, slowly flowing throughout her.
Mmm…
Again, Magic Power Replenishment!
Keti felt a little dazed. She didn’t know if this was an effect of the transformation or an ability she had all along. There had been similar incidents in the previous dungeon, but never this intense.
Maybe the transformation had enhanced her magic absorption, she thought silently.
She’d heard about Magic Power Replenishment before; ordinary people could do it too, but a succubus’s physique seemed to amplify the effect—not only did the magic replenish faster, even the body’s sensitivity to stimulation increased, giving her an indescribable sense of comfort.
Simply put… it just made her… m-more sensitive?
Mmm…
Just as Keti was lost in the comfort of her body filling with magic, Lynn’s movements suddenly stopped.
That familiar feeling vanished abruptly. The dazed Keti jerked her head up, her watery eyes looking at him in confusion.
W-what’s going on?
She almost felt like crying from frustration—she’d finally managed to suppress her shame, maybe even started enjoying the magic replenishment, and then this guy…
He’s just too much!
Keti’s body trembled slightly, her breath hot and rapid, her voice full of grievance:
What now? We’re already like this…
“It’s nothing,” Lynn stroked his chin, pretending to be serious, “I just suddenly thought, messing around with you in the Casino Private Room—what if the guards come to inspect? Wouldn’t that look bad? I am a teacher, after all, I need to watch my image.”
“I… I’m not even a real bunny girl!” Keti’s voice shot up in panic, “Isn’t it enough that I agreed? I’m willing, isn’t that enough! We’re… friends! Hurry… please, I need magic… Ugh~ Why did you stop? It feels so bad, if I don’t get any magic, I… I can’t take it anymore…”
As she spoke, she even reached out and tugged softly at Lynn’s sleeve—without realizing how forward she was being.
What’s wrong with me…
Keti was both anxious and flustered, her eyes rimmed red.
Ever since she’d become a succubus, she felt out of sorts: in this form, her craving for magic was overwhelming, and even the last bit of pride she had as a man wasn’t nearly as steadfast as in her original body.
Is it the Doppelganger Transformation’s influence? Mmm…
But she felt it wasn’t just that—there were the drinks Layla had handed her, the embarrassment of being “rescued” by Lynn in front of the guards and everyone else, and now the surging desire for magic within her…
Everything was tangled together, bit by bit eroding her rationality, leaving only one thought:
I want it.
I want more magic, I want that comforting feeling.
So, so…
Whether it’s a rival, an enemy, or even her original gender… For now, tonight, none of that mattered.
Hurry.
Give me magic!
“Pfft, looks like you really have become a little succubus, Keti-chan. ‘Friends’—but what does that even mean? I don’t think our relationship is quite like that~”
Lynn watched her impatient expression, finally unable to hide the smile in his eyes, leaning close to her ear, his voice magnetic.
“But, you know, just caring about your own comfort isn’t fair. You see, it’s your fault for teasing me earlier—now even I can barely hold back… So, what do you think we should do?”
