## Chapter 523 – A Useful Fellow

I opened the curtains and immediately collapsed, screaming like a child experiencing the deepest despair. It was impossible to suppress the overwhelming terror.

“Ugh, Uwaaaaaaaah!!!!!”

Mom, goddammit!!!

“What the hell is that thing!!!!!!”

—Thud, thud!

“It’s an evil eyeballlllll!!!!!!”

What was outside the window was none other than a bizarre eyeball with tiny bat wings! Each time it collided with the window, tear streaks were left on the glass.

—Thud, thud!

The eyeball thing must have been hurting from hitting the window, because with each collision, the whites of its eye burst with blood vessels, eventually causing it to shed tears of blood.

“This is a nightmare!!!”

No one could endure seeing such a nightmarish sight!

“Hmm?”

Cloudy, the most seasoned warrior among us, opened the window as if it were nothing. —Whoosh! The grotesque eyeball then flew around the room like a maddened hornet that had invaded our living quarters.

“Evil Eye!”

Winia shouted, aiming the wand of the Brass Celestial Angels.

“E-Evil Eye!”

Evil Eye?! Anyway, now is not the time for me to be like this! It’s too early to despair! I immediately unleashed my Murderous Taekwondo, jumping up to destroy the thing.

—Ah, ahh! Please don’t kill it, please! It’s hard to tame!

Just as I was about to destroy the eyeball, a woman’s voice suddenly came from the Evil Eye. The suddenness of the situation made us stop and examine the fluttering eyeball.

That voice… Hildegard?

“Um, ahh. Can you hear me? I’m sorry. I guess I startled you. This is the only way I can contact you right now. This is my familiar, the Evil Eye, you see?”

…It was Hildegard, alright.

The Evil Eye, suspended in mid-air, stared at us. Judging by what she said about it being a means of communication, it seems this is a familiar that Hildegard controls.

“Katt? Is this the work of that succubus Katt mentioned?”
“…Looks like it.”

Cloudy examined the Evil Eye with an interested expression. Winia, on the other hand, was peeking out from behind me with a look of disgust.

“Darkie, tell that thing to get lost! God, it’s fucking disgusting!”
“Okay. Hey, Hildegard! Get lost!”

I scolded her, brandishing my Asura Bloodshed Fist. How could such an absurd thing happen? I thought my soul was going to leave my body. I can’t believe an eyeball is flying around on its own.

“You’re so mean, really. Anyway, you must be Katt’s wives, right? Nice to meet you. I’m Hildegard, a succubus. I’m really sorry for coming to you in such a chaotic way. But this is the only way I can contact you.”

Of course, Hildegard ignored me as usual and started saying whatever she wanted. Cloudy spoke to her then.

“Hmm, you’re the succubus who follows Katt around?”
“Yes!”
“Nice to meet you, I’m Cloudy. Would it be right to introduce myself as Katt’s wife?”
“O-Oh, sister?”

Winia called out Cloudy’s name as she said that without a care. Soon, Hildegard’s excited voice rang out.

“Ah, I’m so grateful that you’re acknowledging me! And you’re so beautiful! I’m confident in my own beauty, but compared to Cloudy, I’m nothing! You really suit Katt!”
“Oh my?”

What is this…? This flattery?

Cloudy looked back at me after hearing that.

“Katt, she’s more sociable than I thought?”
“Uh… what is going on?”
“Is Mama in favor?”
“In favor of what!”

Cloudy, who I thought would draw her sword, is reacting like this! This situation is getting difficult. This bitch said she’d come to visit, but she sends a monster like this…!

“By the way, who is the beautiful young lady behind Katt?”

The Evil Eye’s gaze shifted slightly. The gaze was directed at Winia, who was clinging to my waist. But is she even sharing her vision with that thing right now?

She really is a demon.

“…Winia.”

Winia glared at the Evil Eye for a moment before stating her name in a low voice.

“But hey, Katt? What’s with calling me so casually?”
“Good job, Winia!”
“Darkie, shut up.”

Winia, detaching herself from my waist, aimed her wand with a hostile attitude.

“Eek, I’m sorry. I was being careless. Hmm… then what should I call you?”
“How about not calling me at all? And what kind of manners are these, coming to visit like this? Why not come yourself instead of sending a familiar?”
“I’m really sorry. I should have, but the situation didn’t allow it. I’ll make it up to you.”

I couldn’t understand why Hildegard, who never listened to anyone, was being so humble.

“But the reason I came is to help you all. So please don’t be angry. I just want to help you with no other intentions.”
“…Is that all you want?”
“Yes. Of course. I don’t lie.”

Hildegard’s attitude was, as Cloudy said, extremely sociable.

Winia glanced at me with a fierce look and said.

“Why help us? A succubus helping humans? Is it because of our energy?”
“Um… I do want your energy, but right now, I just want to gain Katt’s favor. Of course, Katt seems to hate me, but I still want to score some points, you know?”
“…”
“Can I help you? The information about the heretics hiding in the city will definitely be helpful.”

There was a moment of silence, and then Winia lowered her wand and answered.

“Then come in the morning. I’ll see for myself and decide.”
“Thank you so much for giving me a chance, Winia! You’re also very beautiful, and you suit Katt very well! You must be happy to be loved by Katt!”
“Ugh…”

Winia looked back at me with a troubled expression and grabbed my wrist.

“Hey, hey. Hildegard.”
“Yes! Katt!!”
“Ah, damn it. Be quiet. Anyway, since Winia said so, just come tomorrow. Go back now.”
“Yes! I will! Then have a good night! Cloudy and Winia, take care! Actually, I just came to say hello and ask if it would be okay to visit tomorrow! Thank you so much for allowing me!”

—Flap, flap!

With that cheerful answer, the Evil Eye obediently flew out the window. The dark leather melted into the night, and its form disappeared in an instant.

Only then did I close the window and sit on the bed.

“Haa, what the hell was that?”

Winia nervously swept back her hair and clung to me. Her long pink hair drooped for a moment. I stroked her neck.

“I wonder what a succubus looks like? I’m curious.”

Cloudy also took off her purple bra and panties and sat next to me. She seemed to be enjoying herself. I think she’s interested.

“I don’t know, goddammit. Darkie. It looks like she’s totally into Darkie, you know? Does Darkie know too? Geez, you’re seducing even a succubus, lucky you.”
“No, Winia. I didn’t seduce her, and I’m not interested. I know she likes me, but I’m not interested in demons in the first place. I’m just letting her stay because she’s giving us information.”

I answered, stroking the neck of Winia, who was speaking irritably.

Winia closed her mouth for a moment and then spoke again.

“Yeah… Darkie wouldn’t take the initiative to seduce her. I know you hate demons. But… haa, really. Why do women keep getting entangled with you? Is it because of your naughty dick? Huh?”

Winia grabbed my hard, erect member with her small hand and slowly shook it up and down. The soft sensation made my back arch involuntarily.

“…I don’t know either.”

My stamina, damn it.

“It’s all because Katt is so charming. Isn’t that right?”
“That’s… true.”

Cloudy also grabbed my member with her hand. Even when both wives grab it at the same time, there’s still plenty of room left. Well, usually all three of them give me a handjob at the same time.

Cloudy, who was shaking my thing so diligently, said.

“Um… can a succubus have a human child?”
“What, Cloudy?”

What did I just hear?
Winia also said in shock.

“Sister? Again? No. Not that. I could somehow understand if it were a human or an elf, but not a demon.”
“Oh my, what did I say to make you react like this?”
“What did you say! Say something that makes sense, really! No matter how you say it, she’s a demon!”

Good job, Winia!

“Yeah, Cloudy! She’s just an information shuttle!”

To me, Hildegard is nothing more than an information shuttle.

“Katt.”

—Kiss.

Cloudy, as if erasing my protest, kissed me on the cheek and then moved her lips to my ear and whispered.

“Mama always wants more daughters-in-law.”
“Huh?”
“Mama will see for herself and decide?”
“Decide what, she’s a demon!”

That wicked Mama.

Anyway, the night grew late. Winia pushed me down first and climbed on top of me, saying she would extract all the energy that a succubus would covet. She couldn’t even last 30 minutes before fainting, but I felt warm and fuzzy from her affection.

* * *

“Hello! I’m Hildegard!”

The next morning, after finishing my preparations and going outside the inn, Hildegard, dressed neatly in human mode, came over and greeted me.

She was smiling brightly as usual, but she didn’t act crazy like she usually does, calling me Katt, so it seems she knows how to distinguish between time and place.

“…”

Winia, who had stopped for a moment, glared at Hildegard. Cloudy was also looking at her, while the succubus, who was nothing short of the biggest chatterbox in the world, just stood there and smiled.

“Katt, she’s more feminine-looking than I thought?”

Cloudy said, as if she liked her.

Come to think of it, Cloudy seems to recognize pretty women.

“It’s because she transformed into a human.”
“Does she have another form?”
“Yeah. She has horns and wings on that one.”
“Hmm… is that so?”

She took the lead.

“Nice to meet you. Hildegard, was it? You said you helped Katt? Thanks to you, Katt became a quasi-priest. I’m grateful for that.”
“It’s nothing to be thankful for. But I’m glad you see it that way. But… you’re not going to attack me, are you?”

Hildegard, who was answering with a smile, asked cautiously.

“Because you helped Katt. But anytime if I don’t like you. But if something happens that I don’t like, I’ll give you a warning.”
“…You’re scary. But thank you anyway.”
“Hmm, you said you’d help us today too? I’ll be looking forward to it.”

Hildegard, who had lowered her tail at Cloudy’s cold words, answered. Winia chimed in.

“…Well, I’m grateful that you’re helping us. I’ll say that first.”
“What’s there to be grateful for… But I can’t trust you. Explain what you know first.”
“Um, I guess there’s nothing more important than gaining trust. Then I’ll tell you everything I’ve found out. Should we go up to the room first?”

It’s definitely better to talk inside than outside if we’re going to talk.

We went back up the stairs of the inn.

“…Did Katt sleep well too?”

As we were climbing the stairs, Hildegard asked in a cautious tone.

Well, she’s helping us, so she does look good.

“Yeah. I slept well. How about you?”
“…!”

Her eyes widened at my casual words.

“Y-You’re asking me, me, how I’m doing…?”

She stuttered with a very happy face… No, goddammit.

“Be a little quieter. Cloudy and Winia are here.”
“Yes, yes! No, I’m just too happy. Hehe… I’m so happy. I’m really happy, Katt. Actually, this moment feels like a dream…”

I can’t understand her circuits at all.

“Anyway, thanks for giving us information. I’m really grateful for that. That’s a fact.”
“…!”

We went back into the room for now.

After settling down, Hildegard looked around at us and opened her mouth.

“Um… first of all. You came here today to arrest the so-called heretics, right? Humans seem to take it quite seriously.”
“That’s right.”

I nodded.

“Then it’s a very good opportunity. I, Hildegard, am a fairly strong succubus, so I can sense the aura of demons.”

She spoke slowly, as if trying to explain to all of us.

“Currently, I’m in the city where Katt is staying because a saint who worships Verde has appeared, making it difficult for me to stay there. So I took that as an opportunity to scout around. I was thinking of getting information that would be helpful to Katt.”

Cloudy and Winia also sat still and listened to her.

I have to admit, this bitch is really working hard.

“But I felt a very strange aura.”
“A strange aura?”

What kind of aura is it?

“A group of humans with a demonic aura.”
“Oh my.”
“There are such humans in this city.”
