"Aaaaaah~! That hits the spot." I moan as I get comfortable in the hot bath. There are three other guys in here, enjoying themselves by relaxing. We finally arrived at Debauching. Weird name, I know. First thing I did was to find the hot baths and now I'm here. "This feels so good, I think all my lust has been washed away."
"What the hell does that mean!?" I look back to see Lily strutting towards me. She crosses her arms, pressing her big tits together, while giving me an irritated expression. "You promised me we were going to have sex, after we took a bath!"
"I am a man of my word, but I never specifically said which bath we were gonna have sex. Maybe I meant on our fifth or twenty something baths." I smirk. I just love to mess with people and monsters with the power of technicalities. Her eyes start glowing. My body acts fast and I get up to hold her face. "Don't do anything rash or stupid that might reveal your monster status." I whisper and look at the three guys who are clearly checking her out. "This place isn't known to be friendly with monsters, so be careful. Plus, you should soak yourself and relax." I pat her cheeks and dip back to the water. She joins in.
"Woah! To think my libido could just go away like that! What is this mystical water?" She asks.
"They gather the water from the mountain area close by here everyday. The elements and purity of the liquid cleanses all corruption from your soul. Leaving only pure bliss, that not even the pleasures of sex can compare."
"Truly!?"
"I don't know." I shrug. "That's what the lady at the counter advertised to me." I chuckle. She thinks for a moment and lays her head on my shoulder sighing in relief. I can see the guys looking at me with jealousy that a ten out of ten is not with them, but these poor souls don't know the truth like I do. "Hey, do you need to replenish your mana?" I ask her. She opens her eyes and smiles mischievously.
"Are we finally going to do it?"
"Oh no. Not me. But those guys definitely look like they could use a little fun." She follows my gaze.
"Hmmmm. I suppose beggars can't be choosers." She nonchalantly replies.
"Remember, don't reveal yourself and do it in one of their rooms. The last thing we need is to get banned from here and casted out. Understand?" She rolls her eyes.
"Yes, father." She goes to them and they're all too happy for her arrival. As long as they're nobodies, then there shouldn't be any issues. I wash myself quickly and get out of the bath. Getting dressed on a fresh set of clothes, which are just a plain white shirt and khaki pants, I look at the mirror in the to check myself out.
I notice my damp black long hair now reaches my shoulders. Nothing like fixing it back to a ponytail. Strangers tend to compliment my deep blue eyes. Don't see what's so special about them. My usual bags are still there. Always had them and it gets annoying when people ask if I had any sleep.
Leaving the vicinity, I look around to find a shop to replenish our supplies. I hate cities. Too many faces, little time to get to know each other. Everyone is always in a hurry. Well I can't say much, I'm in the same position too. If memory serves right, the shop should be around the block. The Mamono detector is also vibrating like crazy. There must be many monsters hiding among the crowd, but as long as they don't mess with me, there's nothing to worry about. I tap it twice so it doesn't bother me throughout the day.
"Ladies and gentlemen! The future starts today with this new invention!" There's an announcer on top of a soap box surrounded by a crowd. "It is an Automobile! It can drive without the use of horses and with minimal maintenance!" He shows off this box with wheels and engines.
"How fast can it go?" A random person questions.
"This is only a prototype, so it can only go ten miles per hour. However, my calculations deduce that it will go ten times faster! Believe me that you won't ever need to use trains, carriages or horses once these beautiful creations become fully available to the masses!" He goes on. I don't pay much mind. That will never take off. There's no soul behind it. I prefer a horse to get me anywhere.
I finally find the shop and go inside. This is where I make orders to be delivered to the village. This place used to be run by old man Frederick, but now his daughter took over. Yea that red haired curled girl is something else.
"Well if it isn't my loyal hot stud." She says as I approach the counter.
"Good day to you too, Angelina."
"No need to be so formal, hon." She smiles as she scans me with her emerald eyes. "Not wearing your usual uniform? That's a new sight to behold. Not that I'm complaining~." She winks. I lean on the table and give my best smile to her.
"Are you flirting with me, Mrs. Fitzgerald? I don't think your husband would appreciate that." She laughs. This is our usual playful exchange. Not that anything would've happened between us. I can respect that much. I ain't no frat boy like most guys. I've known her since she was working under her father, so she's like a sister to me. A very flirty sister but hey, I don't judge.
"How you're not married yet, will always surprise me. So, what can I help you with?"
"I just need to replenish my supplies for the journey and I need some additional items." I hand her the list of items. She whistles.
"Journey, huh? Aren't you a little too old to be adventuring?" I feign being offended.
"Since when is being thirty-five considered old now?" She notices the pentagram on my arm. Shit. I should've worn a long sleeved shirt. Her face becomes serious.
"So that's what this is about. I figured you would do something reckless."
"Me? Reckless? Hardly. I wouldn't be here if I wasn't ready. Don't worry about it."
"That's what worries me the most." She stares at me for a moment and sighs. "Consider it done."
"Thank you." I pay her and she hands me all the items in a brown satchel.
"Take care, okay. Would be a shame if something bad happened to you with those looks." I smirk.
"Would also be a shame to not come back with my married flirty shop owner, as well." She playfully sticks out her tongue and with that, I leave for good to rest.
The Morning Wood
Hm? I open my eyes but I can't move. My detector is going off. Shit. Must be a Succubus. I knew this would happen sooner or later, but did it have to be right now?
"Well if it isn't my loyal stud~!" That voice! She floats on top of me. Revealing her devil horns, wings and tail.
"Angelina...To think you were a Succubus the whole time. Damn it! I lost the bet!"
"Excuse me?"
"Long time ago, Adonai just kept harping on and on that you were a monster. I thought it wasn't true, so we made a bet. Now I owe him twenty bucks." She blankly stares at me and then laughs out loud.
"Dammit, Raz! I'm trying to tease ya and you're over here talking about some bet! You truly are something special." She sits at the edge of the bed. "That your partner over there?" She means Lily who is sleeping on the other bed.
"Yeah. We just happen to go to the same destination, is all." I answer her. Nothing more than traveling companions. She falls silent.
"I didn't come here to fuck you if you're worried about that. Though knowing you, I'm pretty sure you've got something under your sleeve."
"Pfft. Dreamcatchers make wonders, let me tell you." I lift the pillow. These babies can pull the intruder out of the dream and into the real world with you. Pretty neat.
"Always being one step ahead." She says with a sad smile. Then tears are forming on her eyes and she gives me a hug. "I'm sorry Raziel." She cries on my shoulder.
"It's okay." I hug her back. She sniffles for a bit and wipes her tears.
"I'll miss you."
"Me too." She gives me a kiss on the cheek and flies away.
The Real Sunrise for the Blood Rise
I'm finally back to reality. I lift myself up and stretch. Facing my companion, she is sitting on the bed glaring at me.
"What?"
"What? I have been constantly been asking you to have sex with me and you refuse! Oh but fucking a Succubus is okay, then." She pouts like an annoying brat.
"We didn't even fuck. She just stopped by to say goodbye. Plus, I thought you had your fill with the guys from yesterday. " I say nonchalantly. She averts her eyes.
"I wasn't feeling it. They weren't my type. What's the point of having sex, if not everyone is enjoying it? That's why I want to be the new Mamono Lord. I want everyone to have fun during sexy times!" She perks herself up.
"Right. Anyways, let's get going." I get off the bed.
"You know Raziel, the reason you're tagging along is because you are my type~" She winks at me.
"Really? I would've never figured that out. But let me bring you back to reality." I get closer to her. "I don't give a fuck what you're real reasons are. All I care is getting to and kicking the Demon Lord's ass. Now this thing that we got going on? It's only temporary. Once we're done, it's over. We go our separate ways and hopefully never see each other again. And let me lay this down on ya since you haven't gotten the hint yet." You know it's serious when my inner hood life comes out. "Sexy time between us will never happen. I know the effects of fucking a monster and that's a distraction I can't have. I can't even fuck any human girl just by off chance they could be monsters. Now get your mind straight to the goal, cause the sooner we get there, the sooner we get on with our lives. Am I clear?"
"...I can see you must be a blast at parties." She sighs.
"Trust me, I am. You're just not going to witness it." I grin and pat her cheeks. Feels great! Is this what it feels like? To be GOD!? Well the feeling is gone. We get dressed and go to the exit of the city.
"Where to know, Oh great Lord Raziel?" Lily jokingly says and bows.
"Lord Raziel? It has a good ring to it. Anyways, our next stop is going to be at the Lavalle Port, which is a six hours walk from here. From there, we can board a ship to take us to the Amelie continent." She sighs and nods. She possibly doesn't like the idea of walking for six hours, but we don't have enough money for a carriage, so it is what it is. We march on towards our next destination. I hope it's a peaceful and boring journey, but I know better.
