<~> Chapter 60After our very refreshing bath the five of us ged into some light clothes and sat owo beds in our room. We ordered a lot of food and talked about some insequential stuff while trying out different dishes. Unfortunately, I could only put off the versation about my past for so long, it was too important to keep running away from. When we finished eating and the versation reached a natural lull I decided it was time.

  I sighed. "Girls, it's time I talk a bit about my circumstances."

  The atmosphere of the room immediately ged, all eyes were now ohe two twins looked equal parts excited and anxious. I quickly cast [Zone of Silence], the effect was immediately noticeable as the murmur of the world around the bedroom fell away.

  I steeled myself. "First things first, Do not reveal my secrets, or anything you suspect is a secret, to any oside of this room. That is an order." The glowing blue of their colrs intensified for a moment and both girls nodded resolutely.

  "I don't really want to use your colrs this way but now I I fully trust the two of you without any reservations. The colr will force you to resist arying to press you for information. I don't like it but in a way I think it will protect you two. I'm going to talk a bit about myself now, if you two have any questions, feel free to ask, just know that there might be a lot to talk about so some things are better left till the end." The twins heir head in reply.

  "The best pce to start, which will likely inform the most about me, is that I'm a [World Traveler]." Man and Torien both wideheir eyes at the revetion but didn't seem to doubt it so I tinued. "Because of that, I don't have any memory of anything from before about two weeks ago. ...That's ting the days we all collectively lost in the dungeon. So iy, I remember even fewer days than have passed since I've e to this world."

  "Do you remember your past life?" Man asked excitedly.

  I shook my head. "I remember lots of things from my past world but I don't remember anything about my past life. Though it seems I may be able to remember some of it iure. When I spoke to Charoold me that I shouldn't fear trying tain my memories."

  "Were you a Beastkin... or a Succubi in your past life?" Torien asked.

  "I was a human in my past life, probably a m-" I hesitated. I suddenly didn't feel fortable revealing that I used to be a man. "Probably an artist or an architect of some sort."

  Torien's brows furrowed. "That does expin some things, like you not knowing much about various beastkin and their flicts with one another but that kind of flies in the face of how you treat many of our kind. I've never met a human who is as open or kind to demi-humans akin as you are. Saying you used to be human is actually the most unbelievable part of this so far."

  I ugh. "Well, that's kind of a relief to be ho, I half assumed you wouldn't believe any of this holy."

  Man had a grin on her face. "Are you kidding? You absp;way too weird, being a [World Traveler] really would expin a lot."

  "Anyway," I say. "I'm pretty sure the world I came from didn't have any of the other intelligent races on it. No monsters or dungeoher."

  Torien sighed. "Sounds like a much more peaceful pce."

  My face turned grim. "Hardly. Frankly, humans treatifolk like crap isn't at all surprising to me. In my world we found plenty of reasons to kill each other, from resources, to moo skin tone. We didn't have monsters and dungeons but people found lots of reasons to kill each other instead."

  "So territorial disputes and the like, even though all of you were the same race?" Man asked with a raised brow.

  I nodded. "Well, from our perspective, different skintones meant a different race. But we were all identifiably human. ly body parts, no pointy ears, nothing."

  "What about differen magic?" Man asked.

  "No magio system either."

  The twin's eyebrows both shot up. Man's jaw even dropped, it was almost ical but she recovered quickly and tinued. "N-no system? How did people protect each other from the mons- oh..." She leaned back with a puzzled look on her face.

  I decided to keep going, "Right, so, humans fought and hunted with pletely mundane ons. No magio stats, no system skills. Because there's no magionsters, no dungeons."

  "Huh..." Torien looked cupped her . "What about svery?" she asked.

  "In most of the world svery was abolished. Where I was from the entire idea of svery is rather taboo. The only reason I'm iing with this system at all is because I feel like I have to. First to free Bel, then you two. I find the practice rather... abhorrent."

  Torien looked me in the eye. "Why is it that you have a gold sve token then, on top of what you spent for the two of us?"

  Man frowned but looked ily at me, also waiting for my answer. Bile rose in my throat and my hands shook when I thought back to the events of my first night in this world. I thought about Mark, being held down... I opened my mouth and closed it a few times trying to put together a sente the words wouldn't e to me.

  Before I could put anything together Bel answered for me. "The night Lilith freed me from svery, the man who had owned me earlier that day got drunk, broke into our room at the inn, and raped her." In unison the girls gasped and covered their mouths. "I was iher room at the time so I was able to e from behind and knock him out despite him being many levels above both of us. Lilith used a power... simir to the one she used on Mimi and we sold her into svery as punishment."

  "He deserved worse than that." Man said with an uncharacteristic amount of venom ione.

  Bel nodded. "Well... I won't argue against that but the ges Lilith made were... signifit. From the outside it might have looked like a mercy but I was there, she made sure his punishment would fit the crime. Regardless, the au apparently went well and it gave us the moo get the two of you instead."

  All of the distrust that had shown through Torien's expression was go this point, repced with a sympathy that made me even more unfortable. It made me feel weak.

  I took a shaky breath. "A-anyway, so that's the first secret, let's talk about the sed one now."

  I took a moment to collect myself, put my thoughts in order, and tamp down my emotions before I tinued. "My race, acc to the system, is a Succubus. Though apparently it has a skill that disguises me as a Beastkin in the system. I also have the [in of Sucbsp;title, meaning I'm the first ever succubus in this world."

  Man aying rapt attention but Torien jumped to ask the question. "So... is a succubus a type of human from your world then?"

  I shook my head. "No. Succubi were fial creatures in my world. In the world I came from, we had fial stories about a lot of things here. Monsters, dungeons, elves, demons, just like magic, all of these things were just fial. Although the stories about this kind of thing were quite widespread. First as superstition and folktales and ter as eai. From our stories Succubi were demons that thrived on sex."

  Both of the girls immediately look guarded in a way they hadn't been before this point. Torie me. "I thought you said you weren't a demon. Did you lie about that?"

  I smiled and shook my head. "No. When I first came to this world, I had been summoned as a demon. The person who had summoned me, apparently, drew too much blood from himself as part of the ritual and died. I had been a demon up until we ehe duogether. However, after our first enter with an actual demon, the way that I saw demons and how I saw myself were too far apart and my in title altered our race from a Demon with a subrace of Succubus to just Succubus alone."

  "Your title is powerful enough for that?" Man asked.

  Bel cut in, "Remember the story about the in of Moraley?"

  Man looked deep in thought for a moment before she turo me with wide eyes. "Oh shit..."

  "Yeah." Bel nodded. "This secret is actually much more dangerous than just being a world traveler."

  "Moraley?" I ask.

  "That's not important right now." Torien g Bel for a moment before returning to me. "What were you pnning to do to us in the dungeon before that?"

  I frowned. "Nothing. I am not a demon. I have been pletely truthful with you. Other than allowing you to tio assume I was a Beastfolk, I haven't lied about anything. My in title even keeps reizing my as as ral or positive and seems to support my race moving farther and farther from what the definition of a demon is here. All of my traits have begun to no longer support evil as and instead only suppood ones further."

  "W-wait back to a thing you said earlier!" Thankfully Man decided to ge the subject. I looked over at her and she was mildly blushing. "You said that Succubi are demons that thrive on s-sex. What did you mean by that?"

  I looked away and blushed a little myself. "Well, where I'm from there's a lot of flig stories about Succubi. The one on factor is that they always either need sex to live, or are empowered by sex. Even though they're usually depicted as some form of demon, their iions are all over the pce. Some are evil and lure people into sexual enters that drain away all of their essence, some are ral and trade favors for sex, and some are cooperative and help people... usually in exge for sex."

  Man was mumbling to herself before looking up. "Sex to live... Is that why you wereing in the dungeon? WAIT, WAS THAT WHY YOU TWO WERE HAVING SEX IN TH-" She cut herself off and covered her mouth, blushing red.

  I g Bel who was even more embarrassed than I was at this point. Torien looked around. "Wait, you two had sex in the dungeon? When was this?"

  Man looked away. "I... saw them through the door when I was going to ask about looking for valuables... I told you I couldn't find them but they were... busy."

  Torien looked over to me with a raised eyebrow. "Do you know how incredibly dangerous that was? Even more so irospect, since we ter found out Mimics were pretending to be the furniture."

  I looked over to Mimi who actually blushed in response... her reas were being more and more natural by the hour.

  Torien followed my eyes to Mimi. "You're not saying you were there Mimi?..."

  "Yeah! I watched them having fun on the bed, st night I got to joioo!" When she replied any form of embarrassment dissolved as if it hadn't been there. Or, well, maybe she was just mimig it in the first pce.

  Man gasped and looked wide eyed at Mimi. "Y-you got to join them?... both? ...a-at the same time?"

  I o ge the course of this versation a little before things got out of hand. "Look, that's n-not important. Succubi have a trait called ahem... sexual appetite that basically repces our normal sustenance. We bsp;eat normal things but it doesn't actually satisfy our appetite. We have to... have sex in order to sustain ourselves and if we don't we get too horny and make bad decisions... We o have sex in order to tinue on, so we would be clear headed. Especially since we weren't sure how much longer clearing the dungeon would take."

  Bel cut in, "In hindsight it was really dumb to do that there but we were already having trouble thinking straight because we hadn't had sex for a while by then... I didn't even realize how much it was affeg me too until afterwards. Plus we ter found out Lilith's cursed sword eats her sustenance..."

  Torien looked exasperated by this point. "Wait... you're telling me your cursed sword that is supposed to make you hungrier makes you... hornier?"

  I clear my throat. "I um. I firm that it does seem to work that way."

  Torien just sighs and shakes her head.

  I scratch my horn. "I uh... didn't expect this versation to go this dire."

  There ause before Man finally asked a question. "So you are actually not a demht? Even if you were, you aren't now?"

  "Yes, I'm a Succubus. Because of my in title and apparently by my own perspective, I am not a demon."

  Man nods. "You did help us destroy a demon spawning crystal. Even though Demons care little about killing their owroying a spawning crystal would still likely be... unpleasant and terintuitive for a regur demon."

  Torien looked over to Mimi. "So, what did you do to Mimi? You said you turned her into a Succubus too?"

  "Yup! My race says Succubus Mimic! Just like I said before."

  Torien smiled at Mimi. "I believe you, I doubt you'd be oo lie about that."

  Mimi tilted her head. "Why?"

  Torien smiled and shrugged her shoulders. "Eh, no reason. I just don't think you would bother lying about it."

  There was silence for a little bit until Man looked at me and asked another question. "What's it like being a beastkin now? You don't seem to dislike beastkin but do you like being one yourself?"

  I looked down at myself before answering. "Truthfully, I kind of really love how I look and feel. While I'm... ly sure what my old body was like, I think that this new one feels much more fortable and... sexy than my old one." I said with a bit of a blush.

  "W-what about attra to others, who do you find attractive?"

  I could tell Man was fishing but I didn't mind. "I think I like humans, beastfolk and demi-beastfolk, as well as both men and women. I wouldn't say that I'm not picky, I do have preferences, but in terms of categories, everyone is oable for me so far."

  "R-right." Man said with a tiny smile.

  I ughed a little. "You know, this kind of ended up as girl talk by the end huh?" the hed with me, I felt a little relieved I was able to cut the tension a little bit.

  "Th-there is something else I'd like to say." Bel said.

  The four of us turo Bel.

  She looked a little on the spot but tinued despite that. "I um. I also haven't always been a beastfolk or a... a girl either. When Lilith did the thing she did to Mimi to me earlier, I transformed from a human man to what I am now. I um, maybe it's not important but I wanted you all to know..."

  Bel looked really vulnerable, almost on the verge of tears and afraid of reje. I could see that I wasn't the only oo notice.

  Man got up and sat o Bel before pulling her into a hug. "It's okay Bel, I don't think any differently of you, her does Torien, I promise." She sniffed aurhe hug, a smile on her face. Torien nodded along and firmed Man's words. I teared up a little just from watg, I was happy and relieved that these two would accept her. It stirred up some bittersweet feelings inside of me but they were just echos of the memories that were lost. After a while Ma go of Bel, the room had been quiet till Bel had calmed down.

  I stretched, already feeling fatigued from the long and rather stressful day. "So, do you two have any more questions? It's... been a rather long day for me."

  "Just one more thing..." Torieated. "Do you... want us to bee succubi like the three of you?" she asked.

  I shook my head. "Not unless you want to."

  Man looked up "What if it allowed us to take off our colrs?"

  I was sure my mouth hung open... I never sidered that possibility. "I... well, that would be fortunate. But the oath has its own obligation... If you decide to bee succubi I won't object. I don't know if it would allow you to take your colrs off or not though. If it does work that way, I promise to free you two, you have my word. But ultimately it's up to you two."

  The twins looked at each other before Torien looked back. "Give us some time to think about it."

  I nodded. "Of course, there's no rush. sider it an open offer."

  The four of us got ready to sleep and we split up betweewo beds. I sighed and slid uhe covers with Bel, gd to finally lie bad rex after the long day. Mimi stood o the bed on my side and looked nervous, trying to figure out if it was okay to join us. I smiled and waved her over. She beamed back at me and quietly joined us uhe covers, snuggling into my side. Bel seems extra gy right now too, so I ed an arm around her and pulled her close to me. "You were really brave tonight," I whispered to her. I kissed her on the head but she seemed to already be softly dozing. I closed my eyes a all of the tension flow out of my body, rexiweewo girls oher side of me. After a long day I passed out.
