I could only cry. After having been to Xhymza's only to find out she neither knew anything about that yellow orb the old man had, nor any way to turn me back into a succubus, I was down in the dumps. Me and Ash had to sneak past everyone in Belfort just to get back to our apartment.

When we finally did get back, all I could do was jump onto our bed and cry into the pillow. My vagina could no longer give us otherworldly pleasure, my boobs weren't big enough so Ash could sleep on them like a comfy pillow, and the wings I always dreamed of using to fly us to wherever we wanted were taken away on the day Ash finally had enough courage to let me carry him through the sky.

I heard the door open a little and turned to see Ash peaking into the room.

"Uh... J-julia, can I c-come in?"

I nodded and he came in and sat besides me. He opened his mouth to say something but I interrupted him, "I know what you're going to say Ash," I sobbed, my voice still cracking, "you're going to leave me because I'm not a succubus anymore; that I can't give you immense pleasure anymore and that I'm not as beautiful as before. Well go ahead, I understand. You have plenty of monster species to choose from, maybe the-"

"No."

"What?"

"I'm n-not going to l-leave you Julia, ever."

"R-really?"

"Yes, I love you Julia, and I will, no matter what?"

"Hold on a sec," I said as I immediatley got up, "did you say that without stutter- Woah!" Before I knew it, Ash was on top of me.

"You were the one who saved me the day we met. No other girl, human or monster, will replace you because of that."

"But- But- ! Don't you remember the promise I made you that day? Where you would never feel any pain ever again? That you would only feel pleasure? Well I can't keep it anymore!" I looked at my bare stomach through my tear-filled eyes. "I shouldn't even have children with you like this. Without the motherly instincts I had as a mamono, I wouldn't know how to take care of them."

"That's okay." He said as he began to fondle my exposed belly button.

"But Ash, I can't work at Tricoromille with this body! We can't even go on vacation!" I insisted, "Thanks to this recall bed," I patted on the said recall bed that we were laying on, "you will keep getting teleported back here everytime you sleep. As a succubus, I was able to prevent that by sleeping with you, but now that I'm human, I couldn't!"

"Then I'll stay here and pleasure you any way I can until we find a way to turn you back."

"But how do you know that I ever will turn back, what if I'm human forever? I can't take care of you if-"

"You won't be." He slid his hand from my belly button and right into my panties.

"Uh, what are you doi-? Oh!" Next thing I knew, I felt a jolt of pleasure, not the otherworldly kind, as he inserted his finger in my pussy.

"I promise," he whispered lovingly, "we'll find a way."

I couldnt't help but sniff as I also slid my hand into his pants and began fondling his penis, "You really mean it?"

"Yes."

(000)

"I just don't understand."

The beach looked so beautiful at night. It was a shame it was located in those damn heretic's domain, but that wasn't his concern now.

"I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND!" The old man yelled, scaring away a nearby seagull, "Why does that girl want to be a monster again?! Why does she still have the mind of a monster?! Why isn't she holding a grudge against whatever abomination turned her?! Just why?!"

He kicked a rock lying next to him and sat down on the sand. Everything had gone to shambles. When he had first saw that succubus make out with that boy, and saw that the boy didn't seem to mind at all, he easily figured out that the boy was an incubus or at least under that kind of spell, which was exactly what he needed.

The Old Man needed someone to test the orb on, and the boy was perfect. He never expected that the succubus would be the one to get hit with the orb's spell, and he certainly didn't expect that the spell would work on the succubus, turning her into a human. And he definetley didn't expect that the now-human girl would demand him to turn her back.

"It doesn't make any sense. I reversed that girl's monsterization, but she want's to turn back into a monster. I mean, her body is normal, but her mind..." He stopped when those words crossed his mind. Then he smiled the most evil smile you could imagine.

"Oh, of course! Her mind!" the old man chuckled as he stood up, "I had to reverse her mind as well. Yes, it all makes sense now." He let out another laugh, "Soon the world will know me as: The man who turned the tide of the war." Then another thought crossed his mind; another girl, one he knew. The Old Man smiled, he was finally going to get her back after all these years.

Of course, in order to properly cure the first girl, he needs to find her first. That wont be a problem though, as he looked into his satchel where he kept the orb, he saw many other strange artifacts. He rummaged his hand through them until he found what he was looking for: an eye.
