A dozen of the youngest monsters in the Pocket Castle made their way to the library's backroom, books in hand and whispers in their mouth. As their teacher Mephisto said, being on a quest to save the world was no excuse to skim on studies. And besides, they were all quite enthusiastic, particularly given this special day. A beetle-like girl was chattering with her neighbor.

"I can't wait for the lesson in ancient monster history! Mephisto always brought a special teacher who tells us about the past, it's so awesome!"

Another of her neighbor called out to her. "Who do you think will come this year? Mistress Tamamo? She looks so cute, and she was such a good teacher last year, I wish she would be the one to teach us all year round!"

A severe looking elf child struck the table with her ruler. "Don't dishonor our headmaster's name! You're bringing shame to her academy! The only reason those people are exceptional is because their presence is exceptional!"

Another pupil nodded in approval. "Besides, I heard that mistress Tamamo was quite busy with another nine-tailed fox… maybe it will be Sphinx again. She isn't as fun, but she knows a lot as well. And she's in the Pocket Castle, so she can easily come give us the lesson."

"This will be awesome anyway! Right, everyone?"

"Yeah!"

One of the bored fairy junior was distractedly playing with her pen, attracting the attention of everyone.

"Why do we bother learning ancient history? I mean, what use will it make in our daily lives?"

The elf smacked her ruler again on the table. "We do it because it's an important lesson in our curriculum! As Mephisto says, those that ignore history are bound to repeat it!"

The fairy pointed in the direction of the Four Bandits and Mimi who were with them. "And them? They don't have a curriculum to follow…"

Vanilla smiled. "It's important for a noble of the night to be cultured. I don't want to disappoint the queen vampire by not knowing anything about our noble history!"

Teeny continued. "I need to develop my knowledge of history! As the legendary maid said, a good maid has to be able to be a good mental sparring partner as well."

"Gaaah! I want to know the secrets as to how ancient monsters got so strong!"

"I want to hear about phoenixes and maybe mommy! And you Gob?"

The small goblin girl was snickering repeatedly ever since they entered, half-wallowed on a chair. "I'm more interested into how the rule of three will apply…"

"What are you talking about? You are not making any sense…"

"It's apparently a rule from ancient times I heard monsters in Yamatai talk about. The universe runs on the logic that two isn't enough, so there must always be a third to make a trio. Fights always happen in three rounds, most groups of succubi are trio, when two people fail, a third one will step up and…" She snorted. "The first two times someone told stories in this room, it ended being hilarious. I'm sure it will be hilarious this time as well."

"Mmph! You really are a bonehead! Mark my words! This will be an unforgettable lesson!"

"On that we agree… By the way, where is the teacher? Is she late?"

"A teacher is neither early nor late! They're always right on time!"

"The lesson should have started several minutes ago though… Did she have an accident?"

"Maybe she doesn't want to teach us?"

"Maybe Spider Princess ate her?!"

"Maybe she decided to work with Promestein to send us back in time so that we can experience it ourselves?!"

As the rumors escalated, Morrigan's grinning face appeared in the doorway.

"Hey kids! How are you doing?"

"Aaaah! It's the blue ogre! Scary! She ate our teacher and is coming for us!"

Morrigan chuckled and entered in the room. "Hey! Hey! Calm down, you're making a lot of noise and disturbing people! And besides, Mephisto and the others are doing fine…"

"…phew…"

"…But they're busy, so I will be the substitute teacher today!"

"AAAAAAAH! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE BEFORE SHE SUCKS YOU DRY!"

"SILENCE!"

All the students suddenly looked at each other in surprise, their mouth wide open even as no sounds came out. Morrigan sighed.

"Can I get your attention please? Anyway, Mephisto, Tamamo and Sphinx are currently busy talking with Daji and Vinum about a little important detail that should have been discussed long ago. From what I gathered, it's a mess, and it will take a looong time to sort, so they're asking me to fill in for today. And I really want to talk about those good old times." Her gaze lost itself as she dreamily looked at an old book that she was holding. "Also, I only suck dry human men and people that really, really pissed me off, which so far excludes everyone from the Pocket Castle. You didn't see me suck dry any of Luka's friend, right?"

They all timidly nodded. "Good. Now can I remove that silence spell without getting more deafened than in a familial party? Perfect! Now let's get BEEPing started!"

Morrigan blinked a few times in surprise. "Who the QUACK did that? I'm not angry yet. I just really want to know so that she stops it so that we go for the fun stuff sooner than later."

The bored fairy was the one to answer her.

"Mephisto said bad words were forbidden during lessons, so she had a spell ready to filter those out."

"Oh, come on! Are you MEOWing kidding me? Aaaarrrgh… Fine, I guess I'll just use the scientific words instead. Still, it's a NOPE move from her. I mean, we were lustful as all WAN back then and threw daily COT back then…" Morrigan grimaced. "The place under and promiscuous parties are considered bad words? Seriously?! I didn't think she was that much a tight-MOO BWEEEEE! She should really get PWAAAAP sometimes." The succubus blinked a few times. "I rode a horse. I HISS Luka. Oh, come on! This spell understands context too?!" She threw her arms in the air in despair. "DANG! I mean I wanted to talk about Babylon, but if I can't talk about BZZZ at all, then it's pointless."

Vanilla whispered to Gob. "Is it me or that censorship is making things even lewder?"

"She did what to Luka?"

"Hey! Don't talk in my back like that! I have gotten OWWWW with the hero, but I simply SQUEAK him BAAAH style. It's tame compared to the egg salad fun the beelzebubs would do if they put their hands on him…" She shivered. "Although you're right, this censorship thing is making everything sound worse than they were." She slowly breathed in and out. "Right now, I'm SECRETLY WORSHIPPING ILIAS AND THINKING MY SISTERS SUCK AND MY MOTHER IS HORRIBLE."

Morrigan held out her hands in front of her mouth while blushing heavily.

"Okay. Not a single person ever heard that last one."

The bored fairy answered her. "Everybody who heard it swear that on their life."

"Good. Now, let's start. I promise I'll find a way to still make this lesson worth remembering." Morrigan stopped herself midway. She then started smirking, then grinning madly at the fairy. "Oh… Ohohoh… Nice one. I almost fell for it." The suspected pupil started sweating as the succubus cracked her knuckles while the air started crackling with energy. Every other student slightly shifted their chair to make some distance between her and them. "Everyone's admitted to those lessons, and I understand why someone who's not a pupil would want to assist to it, but you're just being disturbing… So why don't you show yourself?"

Morrigan brought a hand surrounded in aura down, and Gob saw something looking like an extremely large butterfly surrounded by an aura of light falling from the corner to crash on the ground before a small crystal orb joined it to shatter in an echo of broken glass.

"It's Titania, the undead fairy! Hi Titania!"

"Release me! I didn't do anything!"

"Oh, don't worry, I intend to let you both pieces of trash go out and let those interested actually enjoy this lesson!" Morrigan gestured toward the entrance of the room and both monsters screamed as she tossed them outside, bound in magic. The door then closed on their back. The succubus took a short look at the broken orb and muttered under her breath. "Isn't this the one belonging to… Nevermind. Lesson first. We're late enough as it is." She gleefully clapped her hands together.

"Now that this distraction is out of the way, let's get properly fucking started. Aaaah… And now I'm able to swear again! That feels good. Alright! I'm sure you don't want to hear about our origin story for the hundredth time, or about how Ilias was a bitch who trapped everyone with a false promise, so let's talk about how each Ancestor took care of their own places once they settled! Is everyone good with this?"

"Yay!"

"And to make the class more interesting, how about I make things a little more visual?" Morrigan used her aura to generate a holographic illusion of a city covered in vegetation.. On its side appeared a beautiful woman in a flower. Although while her nubile, curvy body promised forbidden pleasures, her cruel eyes guaranteed a dangerous future.

"Ooooh…"

"Impressive, isn't it? I'm pretty sure a few of you are going to discover themselves a new orientation, and I'm not talking about careers…" Morrigan cleared her throat.

After spending several years travelling together and learning about the world and inspired by the Dark Goddess, each Ancestor decided to settle down, and they attributed themselves fiefdoms to take care of their progeny. They also did that because they each hoped that there would be less direct competition for men. It turns out six demi-goddesses staying together put a bit of a strain on the local population and there had been a few minor skirmishes ending with a small town razed because they all had eyes for the same man one time… And then the Dark Goddess took him for herself to teach them a lesson. I wonder if Alice II was born from him or if it's just a coincidence? Whatever…

Anyway, Kanon decided to install herself in the Gold Region in the place known today as the toxic swamp. Hey! Don't make those faces! The place looked great before everything that happened afterward! Anyway… The region itself was a verdant forest that looked ready to welcome the boons from the Alraune Ancestor and her cohorts. The already luxurious forest became even more beautiful as colorful plants grew as well thanks to her effort. Monsters and humans alike flocked to the city to enjoy the bountiful fruits and her beauty, taking her boons in and giving themselves out. Kanon herself spent most of the time indulging into all the men that fell to her pheromones and freely offered themselves to her, granting their desire for pleasure in exchange for their lives. However she also was a BIT vain, and wasn't quite fond of the competition made by her alraune descendants. She didn't quite kick them out of the city, but she made them understand that they weren't much more welcome than that. But it didn't matter that much, as long as men kept coming to her to fatten themselves with her bounty before being eaten in turn, nothing else mattered to her.

"That's cruel…"

"Why?" Morrigan raised an eyebrow. "She fed them her fruits for months. It was the only way for them to pay her back. It's natural, , and it's the circle of life since she used her energy to grow more fruits… And besides each of them could only feed her for a day. If anything, she was the one getting ripped off in those deals, don't you agree?"

Vanilla raised her hand. "Then why didn't she work out another solution? It's her own fault for getting a bad deal since she's the one who set up the conditions! And besides, killing the customer is bad for business even if that's what they want. Letting them alive would allow them to further thrive and spread her name through word of mouth, and give her a better image at minimal cost!"

"She did it because she wanted and was cruel! Eating humans was her end goal, she didn't care about managing a business." An aggravated Morrigan rapidly turned away from the small vampire to see an alraune student with her hand raised.

"If they still went to her even when they knew that they would die, does it mean that the other Ancestors were worse?"

"Huuh, no. The reality is just a bit more complicated than that. People couldn't teleport at will like today and often got to the closest one they heard about. Not everybody could travel half a continent simply because the closest Ancestor wasn't the best. Is it clear?"

"But couldn't the Ancestors themselves use their powers to send the men that wanted to see their sisters to meet them?"

"Huuuh… The thing is… it takes some energy to do that. And besides, they all wanted their share of men and had no obligations to each other. I mean, they DID separate because of competition, so they kinda remained at a distance from each other for a reason. And that reason was that they each wanted a bigger share of men. Do you understand now?"

The alraune nodded, although Morrigan could tell that she was more confused than anything.

"Okay, no more question for now. Please let me continue." Morrigan twirled her hand, and the silhouette changed to reveal a slime just as planturous, while the forested city disappeared to make way for another one crossed by a large number of water flows and visible underwater grottos.

"Ooooh…"

So while Kanon had decided to have a very loose approach on her reign, Kanade had decided to do the opposite: she created drastic laws to protect her region against the pollution that could weaken and even kill her kin. She devoured any criminal that broke her rules, and she did need to do that because seriously, she needs a lot of energy to move around. And once again, it didn't stop anyone from travelling to the Noah region where she had settled down herself. You can believe that with the ability to make copies of herself, she was always busy with several men at a time… Actually, she always had a few bodies of her feeding on criminals when the others were busy… fucking other men I guess. It was hard to tell with that one-woman orgy. I mean… She did occasionally write new laws and personally judged a few trials, but since she was the executioner as well and the sentence handed down was often death by snu snu… Yeah, I'd say ninety-nine percent of her existence was spent eating men all ways one can think of.

"Sooo…" Gob was holding a hand to her head as her brain scrambled to word her question. "She spent most of her time to feed because of the energy she was spending in her activity which only involved feeding... Was she actually fattening herself, or was she already so fat that she couldn't even move without losing energy or…"

"Yeah… I admit it kid, even for me it's still a mystery."

"I know!" A succubus shook her hand in the air frenetically. "She was doing secret activities!"

"Pfff. Good one." Morrigan smirked. "She's not one for subtlety. I don't know what she could do without getting noticed… Actually, I don't even know what kind of thing she would want to do far from everyone's eyes."

The young succubus started panting like a dog. "Perverted things… Immoral things…"

"Try harder." Morrigan dismissed her. "We all fucked men in the middle of the streets in broad daylight. And we did that because we wanted everyone to look."

"Playing pranks on others… Stealing their men… Trapping other tastier people to eat forbidden meals when they lower their guard..."

This time, Morrigan blew into a full riotous laughter. "Pfahahah! Seriously, this is so funny! I mean, all Ancestors are as powerful, there's no way one of them would be killed like that because she simply dropped her guard."

"Someone didn't quite learn her lesson it seems."

Morrigan's aura suddenly started flaring up as she tried to identify who decided to open her old wound. Then she started fuming at the Succubus Queen for the rough treatment the latter had inflicted her near the Gold Fort and for spreading that story. Then she started feeling worried when she realized the point just made applied to her. Then she felt visceral fear for the first time since long when she realized that could apply to her sisters and even her mother as well.

"Ok, let's move on, I'll have to contact a few people after class."

The slime changed shape to evolve into a regal lamia whose arms were replaced with wings while her hair ended with snakes. The city itself turned into a large, ominous castle.

"Oooooh…"

"Please, stop that, this is starting to get annoying. Ok, so-"

"Wait!" Teeny frantically shook her raised arm. "The harpies keep saying that she's a harpy with lamia traits, but I know that she's a lamia with harpy traits and everyone agree!"

"No! That's wrong!" A young harpy raised her wing before Morrigan could answer. "Queenie says that she's a harpy with lamia traits, and she's right because she's the queen!"

"It's false! It's documented that Saja is the Ancestor of the lamia race, which would only be possible if she was a lamia!"

"But she has wings, she's a bird!"

"You have wings and are a birdbrain. -KIA!"

Both students stopped in their argument as they were surrounded by a pinkish aura. Morrigan's hand was glowing as she was looking contemptuously at the two small monsters.

"If you let me finish, I would have told you that while she has both avian and reptile traits, she's first and foremost a yoma. So you're both wrong. Also, since you have already heard the story of our origins several times, you should know that each Ancestor is responsible for the birth of several species, which in her case includes harpies and lamias of course, but also dragons and several non-humanoid yomas. Also, I don't like being interrupted." The pinkish hue became more intense while both monsters contorted in pleasure before being released, happily panting. "So let's get going."

The succubus student raised her voice. "Is-" She mouthed several words that somehow came out silent before looking around in surprise. She only stopped trying to talk when she noticed Morrigan was glaring at her.

"Yes, I did notice that you interrupted me on purpose because you want the same punishment. Damn pervert. Anyway, I'll move on a bit faster to make for the time lost."

Saja, the First Ancestor, had remained at the side of the Dark Goddess of her own volition as much as because the latter was looking to slowly retract herself from her work. As a result, while the Dark Goddess was officially the one reigning, she had delegated the full responsibility of the task to Saja. The First Ancestor herself was harsh but fair in her dealings. She wanted monsters to become stronger to be able to better serve the Dark Goddess. Her court was extremely competitive, but not quite cutthroat as some snake-tongued people would say. ehehehe, snake-tongued. Get it? Because she… actually has a normal if very long tongue. Ahem. She often pushed people to challenge themselves, their subordinates and even their superior, but frontally. She had no tolerance for backstabbing ploys done in the shadows. Under her reign, the Monster Lord's Castle and Hellgondo thrived as monsters competed to become stronger martially as well as to be the best in their domain. All monsters and even humans were accepted there, and she took the occasional mate when someone got her interest… Although they didn't always live long then since she always pushed them to their death faster with her attention. She didn't actually suck them dry or anything. It's simply her clinginess and the difference in power between her and her partners that is fatal, nothing else.

"Uga! Is this why the Dragon Seal Trial was born?"

Morrigan leaned back, confused. "The what now?"

"It's a trial that men who wants to marry dragons had to undertake to be recognized. They had to reach the deepest bottom of the pyramid and get a seal to be acknowledged by dragons!"

Morrigan blinked a few times as she tried to discern whether the junior dragon was pulling her leg or if she was serious.

"…I never heard about that, so it likely came later. Also, she took any kind of men. I never understood what she saw in some of the weaklings she took in her bedside. Granted, they often were the top in their own domain, but one still needed some endurance to bear her attention at night and those guys had none. As we say in the family, he who comes first, dies first."

"But if she loved them that much, why didn't she share her energy with them to keep them alive. Or is it because she didn't actually love them and took them as trophy men?"

"Huuuh… It depends on your definition of love I guess?"

"But isn't love about not hurting the one you love? So was she incapable of true love?"

Morrigan's mouth opened as she prepared to retort, but she could only emit a few onomatopoeias. After spending a minute unable to come with an answer, she sighed.

"Okay… This is getting a bit too philosophical to my taste… Sorry, you'll have to ask your teacher after that lesson. Next…"

The snake transformed in a large kitsune wearing a kimono with nine fluffy tails, while the city took an oriental look with its slanted buildings.

"Ooooh…"

"Stop that now!"

Tamamo No Mae had decided to settle herself on the easternmost part of the world as she had already influenced the region as much as the human culture influenced her. She decided to play the safe card, and instead of settling down with her descendants amongst humans like her sisters, she decided to settle with those that wanted on a large but isolated island slightly eastward while using her magic to travel to the main continent where she could continue with her ploys. While she led over her kin in a really classic fashion, she decided to work her art on humans differently, and preferred influencing them through various means, from presenting herself as a force of nature -which she was, don't get me wrong, but… you know what I mean- to some good old fashion bedroom exercise with the more influent people around, she wormed her way through the heart of human nations, allowing her daughters to freely pick men around and give the budding faith in Ilias the proverbial kick in the 'nads before it could blossom. And yeah, she reveled in the attention given to her and her fluffy tails, to the point that she would make sure her partners were fully dedicated to her before sending them to meet their goddess of a cloud of fluffy heaven. She might have destroyed a few kingdoms worth of people that way.

"Tamamo would never do that! You're only saying lies because you're jealous of her!"

Other students gasped and not so subtly took their distance from the elf who exclaimed her opinion out loud. Said elf instantly remembered that she was talking to the scary blue ogre who their teacher had warned them so much about. Even worse, Morrigan was just softly smiling. The elf expected the blue ogre to explode in rage or use her horrible aura to incapacitate her, but instead, the youngest of the Lilith Sisters simply closed her book and got up to slowly move toward her. The succubus then leaned forward with her face ending barely an inch from the elf, a small smirk still on her face. She remained silent for a small minute, enjoying her victim marinating in fear and sweat before finally talking again.

"Were you there? Because I was. I admit Tamamo changed a whole lot and grew soft to be the adorable furball she currently is. But she has quite a few skeletons in her closet. Just ask her about the Babylon Special All Nighters she participated in…" Morrigan got back, and the elf student started breathing again. "Anyway, thank you for giving me good transition material; let's move on to the last and the best…"

"Wait, aren't there actually two Ancestors remaining? I mean, they are called the Six Ancestors for a reason."

Morrigan answered Gob with a sideway glance. "Do you remember what I said the lesson would be about?"

Gob's forehead wrinkled under the mental effort put on by the goblin girl. "How each Ancestor took care of their fief and descendants?"

"Good answer. The fifth one ate everything. Soil included. End of story. Let's move on to the best part."

"But there are still scyllas around..."

"We're. Moving. On." Gob remembered Morrigan's words about the succubus only targeting people that really pissed her off. At that moment, she knew that each more word coming from her mouth was so many chance to end on that list.

The nine-tailed kitsune transformed into an overly feminine succubus with three pair of wings and long hair that almost touched the ground. The city by itself became more classical in shapes, although unusually tall, open structures were dotting it.

Morrigan frowned. "What, no impressed ooooh this time? It's already become mundane no you or…" She grinned. "Are you so impressed by her majesty and are already under her charm?"

"Tamamo was cuter."

"The city she created looks bland."

"We already keep seeing powerful succubi daily since the fall of the romantic castle."

"Kanade was sexier!"

While the first three interventions barely brought any reaction from the succubus, she completely froze when she heard the last one as if someone shot her. Her head slowly turned as her expression was stuck in a mad grin even as her eyes glowed strongly enough to illuminate the whole room on their own. Most students whimpered in fear while trying to hide themselves behind their chairs in apprehension of how the succubus would react. To their surprise, she simply chuckled and let her aura die down.

"Now that I finally properly have your attention, we can get started. I'm sure you will be quite fascinated by what you're about to hear."

The Ancestor of succubi, Minagi, decided that everyone should be free to enjoy her numerous gifts and daughters. While all the other Ancestors built their little empires for the sake of reigning and satiating their own ego, our mistress instead decided that the absolute priority was to have a more fitting place for her daughters and herself to share pleasure with humans. Naturally, all of our lovers and worshippers stepped up and built us one of the grandest cities in the world. Countless years of efforts had been spent in building this place, and we made sure that all those that worked on it were fittingly rewarded… Yeah, some people would probably say that we only made the construction slower by exhausting them, but some people are worshipping Ilias, so what do they know? Anyway, after some time, the legendary city of Babylon was born! It was the single best place to live, where monsters and humans lived side by side and worshipped us like the goddesses we were. And humans kept flocking to this place, which became a place of innovation like that fox could only dream of. Of course, I'll give you three guesses as to why they came first and foremost, and the first two won't count. The best part? Our mistress let everyone do as they pleased as long as the city could develop and she got some men for herself. So you have to believe me when I tell you it was the best nonstop party one monster can always dream of! We had whole buildings consecrated to simply doing that, and it didn't stop people from having all kind of fun in the street, on the roofs, or even in the sky… Yeah, we all got our share of men, and they kept coming for us! The luckiest ones got a taste of us, and some even got a taste from our mistress! We didn't discriminate between the strong and the weak, we fucked everyone equally! There was no reason to live anywhere else…

And then that bitch-ass virgin Ilias got insecure and declared her dumb war against us for the sake of protecting her bloated ego. Because she couldn't understand that between a blond frustrated chicken-winged hag that would smite you if you turned your head and a sex goddess that will do anything to you should you ask, people prefer the latter. However, the first angels she sent have decided to join us instead, and helped lure in more of their fellows that we thoroughly enjoyed. It had become an ever bigger nonstop orgy between everyone until she decided to send that blood-crazed seraph and then we're entering in the Great Monster War, so I'll stop here. Morrigan punctuated her sentence by closing her book.

"Oooh…"

"So what did you learn about today's lesson?"

The room's mood became strange. Students kept looking at each other in confusion before Vanilla whispered something that she couldn't quite grasp, but seemed to have whipped up the other students in frenzy as they raised their hands one after the other.

"Angels suck!"

"Living with Ancestors was cool!"

"And succubi are the best! Babylon should have existed forever!"

Morrigan approvingly nodded as each student came out with their various related comment. "Good! I see that you learned your lesson! I hope that you enjoyed it as much as I did back then, now you're free to go and do whatever you want for the day!"

"Yaaaay!" All the students left in a hurry, the succubus nostalgically looking at them scurrying away.

"Aaah, the energy and carefree attitude of youth… I wish I could be as serene-minded as them today…" Morrigan put away her book in a pocket dimension and made her own way out of the room. Titania and the other fairy were still waiting outside, bound in halos of energy, scared as their tormentor reappeared. The succubus crossed her arms and leaned against a wall while grinning at them.

"Ok… I could ask who's responsible for this prank, but I know you will accuse each other back and forth and I don't want to get a headache as you start screaming, so here's how it's going to be." Morrigan materialized a pair of pencil and sheets. "You're each going to write who's responsible for this prank. If only one's accused, I'll punish her, if both are accused, I'll punish you both, and if no names come up, you'll be both free to go. Oh, and if you try to get smart and decide to write another name altogether, I'll ask my sisters to give me a hand as well. Is that clear? Good, in that case..."

Right after Morrigan gave the fairies the papers and unsealed their arms, neither of them hesitated and instantly wrote something down.

Of course, they'll accuse each other. They can't miss an occasion to mess with one another… I was really glad we always covered each other with Lilith and Astaroth. For all the shit they give me, they never let me down even when I sucked dry one of Tamamo's mark and completely screwed her plan by accident.

After a few seconds, both fairies revealed their sheet. At first, Morrigan was surprised with the result, and then her aura flared up as she gave in to her anger.

"Really?! Not only did I tell you not to write down another name, but the one you accuse to be the mastermind is that useless piece of shit of Panty Sensei?! DO YOU THINK THAT I'M THAT FUCKING DUMB?!"

"Buuuuut, it's true…" The pixie's eyes started watering up.

"Yeah, we're only victim in all of this! He said that he would sell our panties in Pornof if we didn't do it!"

Morrigan pinched the bridge of her nose. Right now, she was more aggravated than downright angry.

"Yeah, no, I have a hard time believing that. If only because each of you could -should- have kicked his ass thirty times to Sunday."

"He became too stroooooong…" The whiny, high-pitched voices of the fairies grated Morrigan's nerves more than she wanted to admit. The aura surrounding her hands intensified according to her mood. "He learned how to talk well, and he's become super agile, and he can be super invisible. And-"

"And there are four hundred of other people in the castle that are just as powerful, and I can think of at least fifty who would deal with him appropriately without throwing a fuss afterward!" Morrigan sighed. "You know what? Fine! I'll deal with his shit myself, so I won't have time for your punishment."

"Yay!" Both fairies threw their hands in the air in joy. Morrigan unceremoniously used her aura to gather the two fairies and shut them up before more carefully grabbing the shards of the broken orb used as a mana source to sustain their spell. She walked through the castle with a firm step to end in front of a lavish yet childishly decorated door ornate with teddy bear representations. Both fairies started frenetically shaking their heads left and right as a feminine, energetic voice answered.

"Please enter!"

Morrigan opened the door. If the voice had been unquestionably feminine, the content of the room left no doubt. The place was furnished with pink frilly cushions and curtains, and almost every drawer was covered with a teddy bear, a mirror, or porcelain adorned with the occasional skull. Several clothing items were present on the ground, hastily discarded around a human silhouette clad in a green dress whose head was completely immersed in a drawer. Alicetroemeria pulled her out while showing an insincere smile.

"Greetings Morrigan! I am sorry, I will not be able to do much to entertain you today, it appears I have misplaced an important gift I had for the hero and I am quite busy doing my utmost to retrieve it."

"Isn't it that one? Those two were using it in one of their usual prank." Morrigan moved the imprisoned duo and the shattered orb in front of her with her aura.

While the disguised Monster Lord's expression didn't change in the slightest, the two fairies cowered as her aura flared while Morrigan herself took a step back.

"I see… Would you kindly let those two in my custody? I need to have a few words with them about their not-so-cute pranks, and I'm sure you're a busy girl."

Morrigan felt sorry for the two fairies for the smallest second before she decided to move on. They were the one who decided to mess with totally-not-Black-Alice's stuff, it was up to them to pay the piper.

"Huuh, yep! Have fun, just make sure they'll still be available the next time Luka look for them, see ya!"

The succubus hurriedly got out and used her aura to close the door as fast as possible without slamming it. She calmed herself once outside.

Of all the idea I ever had, that was not the best one…

…But not the worst either as Lilith would say. Huuurgh… Let's try to check what the deal with that pervert from Pornof is about… Whatever it is, he's just one guy. That wouldn't be the first time a lone idiot tries to strike on their own to fulfill a dubious goal simply because they wanted. That guy's just wanting to suffocate under a mountain of panties.

What's the worst he could be doing otherwise?
