Chapter 09: A Demonic Dream Deserving of Thoth's Blessing!

"Winter's still going strong, I see." Steamy breaths exited Kazuma's mouth as he took a walk through Axel, bored enough for the former NEET to exercise a little but not enough to actually take a quest from the Adventurer Guild.

As of now, he was currently using his Devil Fruit to try and find the right way to warm himself in frigid environments like how Aang did.

It was admittedly much harder than the Avatar had seemingly done casually, probably like how Accelerator's 'reflection aura' worked by making extremely precise calculations on autopilot.

Sighing in self-disappointment at his mathematical inadequacy, Kazuma paused when he noticed Dust and Keith wandering about an alleyway rather suspiciously. Or at least Keith was. Dust was always suspicious 60% of every time Kazuma encountered him.

"Hey, what're you guys doing here?" Kazuma spoke up from behind them, causing them to freak out a little.

"Oh, it's just you, Kazuma?" Keith sighed in relief after giving quick glances around. "Don't scare us like that. You're... alone today?"

"Not exactly..." Even as he said that, a bit of Geru popped out from beneath Kazuma's clothes, the rest of the slime's body clinging to his torso and leeching off his body heat.

"Oh, it's just Geru-chan." Dust chuckled as he bumped his knuckles against Geru's tendril before grabbing Kazuma closer with an arm over his shoulder. "Oi, Kazuma. Can you keep a secret? Especially from your female Party members?"

"Like you wouldn't believe." Kazuma immediately answered. "What's up?"

Keith looked around once more before Kazuma realized that he was actually using {Foresight} to check for any eavesdroppers, joining in the impromptu huddle. "Have you heard of a shop covertly run by succubi that grant 'nice dreams'?"

And suddenly, Kazuma had nothing but utter respect for Keith's prudence. "Only a passing comment from the Guildmaster. He was under contract to not reveal it, but are you telling me...?"

"Indeed." Dust confirmed with a serious nod. "We have found it."

Carefully making their way through the multiple corners until they finally found the hidden shop, Kazuma joined Keith in constantly making sure that the trio wasn't followed.

"Once again, I'm utterly grateful for my LUK stat." Kazuma muttered as they entered, taking in all of the sights. The Establishment was somehow within that perfect range of being dim enough to propagate the atmosphere and bright enough to let him(and every other customer) ogle the various succubi attending to them in very skimpy and tantalizing attires. "To think my laziness nearly caused me to miss all this today..."

"Welcome~" A pink-haired succubus greeted the trio as she and two other succubi sashayed towards them. "Please come this way."

Taking him for herself, Kazuma let himself get guided towards a cubicle while his comrades each got a succubus to themselves. "I'll admit that I never thought I might see you again."

"Hm?" The pink-haired succubus examined his features. "Sorry, but I only make a point of remembering partners who can fully satisfy me."

"Yeah, that's fair." Kazuma nodded, surprisingly not offended at being forgotten. Maybe because he'd matured quite a bit since coming here. Or maybe because she probably hadn't even spared him a glance back at the first time he'd met the Guildmaster. "So how does this work?"

"Is this your first time at your shop?" The pink-haired succubus asked.

"Oh, yes." Kazuma admitted.

"Well, then, I will explain." The pink-haired succubus began gyrating before him as she spoke, her hands trailing allover her sinful body. "We succubi have established a mutually beneficial relationship with the male adventurers of this city. ("Yes.") Many adventurers live in stables, correct? ("And inns.") So I believe males get pent-up in various ways. But they are unable to do anything about it since there would be other adventurers sleeping nearby. ("Indeed.") Having said that, if they were to make a move on a female adventurer sleeping nearby, they would either be instantly beaten into submission or commit an unforgivable act that they would never recover from. And so, we succubi grant male adventurers dreams that bring them sexual relief. We're not really limited to just adventurers, but as we do end up taking a bit of your vitality, male civilians are rare repeaters of our clientele compared to male adventurers. And just so you know, only a very select few are capable of withstanding direct coitus with us succubi, which is why we established this method to ensure that this doesn't affect your daily life."

Kazuma's respect for Kaito grew even further. 'My Guildmaster is a living legend!'

"Please write your order for your desired dream on this questionnaire sheet." Bending over seductively, the pink-haired succubus handed him a form with a pen.

Kazuma gave it a quick lookover and gasped. "Um, there are entries for the customer's condition, gender and appearance in the dream...? What are these for?"

"Due to how varied dreams are, those exist for requests such as 'I want to be a king or hero'." The pink-haired succubus answered, fondling her own breast for Kazuma's view. "We also tend to have customers who wish to try it from a female perspective as well. ("Really?") There are also those who wish to return to boyhood and become dominated by strong female adventurers."

'...for a world that I'm still not sure knows of masochism, the range of perversity is still so vast, huh?' Kazuma deadpanned. "And what about this 'partner preferences'? How much can you actually configure?"

"Their personality, speech patterns, appearance, and even how much they like you." The pink-haired succubus entered a new pose, slowly dragging her fingers up her inner thighs. "It can be anything or anyone, whether they exist in real life or not."

"For real?!" Kazuma exclaimed in surprise, actually shooting out of his seat.

"For real." The pink-haired succubus replied.

"So a specific famous girl, a girl who's close to me, or even a 2D waifu would be possible?" Kazuma inquired, hoping with all of his LUK.

"Yes, though I don't know what a '2D waifu' is." The pink-haired succubus replied. "Dreams are dreams because they exist beyond the limits of reality after all."

"That's... That's so true!" Kazuma cheered at the simple but unbeatable truth he never thought he'd be pleased to hear. Sitting back down, Kazuma quickly put down his preferences as he wanted them. "Oh, so what exactly am I paying you? How much gold do I put down?"

"Oh, we have no need for your gold. Your tantric energy is more than enough for payment. Also, please be careful not to drink too much this evening, okay?" The pink-haired succubus raised her hand towards her lips, curling her fingers to mimic as if she were holding a bottle to drink... or something else narrow and long that would require her sticking out her tongue as she was currently doing. "If you sleep too soundly, we can't show you any dreams."

"Alright, understood!" Kazuma declared, immediately drawing up a plan.

"I can't believe that Kazuma-sama actually took a nocturnal quest now of times." Lalatina sighed as she laid down the last plate of crab onto the table. After Father had sent a whole pile of high-grade marbled red crab and a pouch of at least a hundred thousand Eris to congratulate her and her Party on obtaining a mansion of their own, even if rented. Plus, it seemed that news of Kazuma and Aqua's exploits against the Demon Generals had already reached his ears.

His next letter would most likely ask her to bring them home for a visit.

It probably wouldn't be long until royalty itself became aware of their feats. Defeating even one Demon General was a certified way to earn a title, although Lalatina wasn't sure how Kazuma would react to Aqua's ego surging once more.

Definitely not in a positive manner, at least.

"It's his loss!" Aqua declared as she immediately began to eat, enjoying the meal they'd spent so much on to add the crab to. "Don't worry, Darkness. We'll make sure to save some for him."

"Well, in that case." Lalatina reached for a crab leg and began to indulge in the luxurious meal, her eyes widening in interest as Aqua once more showed her innovative creativity by mixing her alcohol with some crab innards right in its own shell before briefly boiling it.

"And done!"

Kazuma waved Luna a good night as he left the Guild, his pouch heavy with a new addition of many silver coins. Now, he had a rock-solid alibi in case any of the girls got nosy. Additionally, he would have to sleep elsewhere so that the succubus could visit him without getting insta-killed the barrier he'd noticed Aqua setting up around their mansion.

Now, his current problem was what to pass time with until he felt sleepy and retired to Starstruck Inn for the night. It didn't need to be physically straining as he'd just done that. Drinking wasn't an option, naturally.

"Hm... Well, it's worth a shot. I'll just have to count on my LUK to help me out." Nodding decisively, Kazuma preparing for the night in his rented room before pointing a finger at himself. "[Sleep]."

It was super effective.

Kazuma sighed in relief as the teacher ended it at the bell.

"Alright, that's all for the day. Oh, right. Those in the environmental committee, stay a bit. You may go home after submitting the materials issued today."

Kazuma kept doodling in his notes while waiting for the class to empty, his target being the only other person staying behind. It had been only a year since he last saw her (discounting the time that had passed within Belzerg), and it showed in Akane's figure. Her uniquely pink hair as lustrous as ever, her legs even more slender beneath her short school skirt and tights.

And her attitude as bossy as he remembered his childhood friend to be. "Do my assignment as well, Kazuma. Even though I promised to go home with my boyfriend, if I just left without permission, sensei will be pissed at me. So I'm staying. Be thankful."

"Why the hell should I be thankful?" Kazuma rebutted. "Do your own damn assignment. I don't have to do shit for you."

"Huh? Even after you've been sneaking glances at me all afternoon?" Akane scoffed, much to his surprise. "Did you really think I haven't noticed?"

'It's amazing how well the succubus's captured her likeness.' Kazuma shrugged. "All I did is look. It's not like your legs are ugly or anything."

"...take your pants off." Akane suddenly demanded, getting up and fishing out her phone. "Every time you check out my legs, I'll post your dick pic on the group chat."

Kazuma rolled his eyes before getting up and fiddling with his pants, enjoying how her eyes widened at the sight of his flaccid cock. "What's wrong? Were you expecting it to be pencil-sized or something?"

"Sh-Shut up, you otaku!" Akane weakly shot back as she beheld it, gasping as it slowly rose into it's stiff glory. "Wh-Why are you getting hard?!"

"Why wouldn't I get hard?" Kazuma tilted his head, slowly approaching her until she was pressed between him and the wall. "Do you think that somebody like you could intimidate me in the slightest? Besides, you clearly like what you're seeing."

Before she could stop him, Kazuma reached down and plunged one finger against her soaked panties, her nectar seeping through her tights. "Otherwise, you wouldn't be preparing for a real cock compared to your boyfriend's."

Turning her around, Kazuma kicked her legs apart and let his cock drag between her thighs, causing Akane to shudder in place while she inadvertently locked his shaft between her thighs and up against her soaked core.

"D-Don't you da-"

Kazuma ignored her and tore a hole into the tights while pushing her panties aside, sheathing himself deep and waiting for her as she cummed instantly. "Too much?"

Akane growled at his teasing, her face so very red. "You wish."

Kazuma began thrusting, one hand reaching forward to grope her breast through her shirt while the other gripped her waist in place. "Well? Are you enjoying yourself?"

"Sh-Shut up. Your cock ain't shit- Ah~!" Akane panted, her pupils dilating as her pussy tightened around him. "I'll... fucking kill... you after this... Ah~!"

Kazuma yanked her back from the wall and had her steady herself against a desk, using both hands to grab her hips for his thrusting to increase in brutality.

"NGHOO~!" Akane groaned and spasmed uncontrollable as a fresh wave of pleasure crashed over her, pushing her chest out against the desk as her legs failed to hold her weight. Uncaring, Kazuma kept fucking her through it, hammering away as her pussy clamped down on the pistoning shaft.

"What's wrong?" Kazuma boasted. "Your boyfriend never fucked you as well as I'm currently doing?"

"...it won't work." Akane whispered amidst her pants. "This NTR crap you're trying to pull on me. Just because you're an otaku with a big cock... doesn't change the fact that you're still a mere otaku compared to my boyfriend."

'...apparently, there is such a thing as 'too accurate'.' Kazuma pulled out and yanked her to her feet, before ripping off her uniform until it was barely more than tatters upon her. Then he wrapped his arms around her waist and hoisted her against him, letting gravity drop her back on his waiting cock. Akane choked as her legs automatically fastened above his hips while her arms clung to his shoulders, Kazuma fucking her anew while she held on for dear life and looked him in his eyes.

"Your boyfriend ain't shit compared to me." Kazuma mocked. "If he was, you'd have struggled a whole lot harder."

And Akane knew it. She had to, given how she'd heard all that, but still didn't try to stop enjoying herself. Still, she wouldn't be Akane if she just gave up. "He'll never even know you were there."

"But you will." Kazuma immediately countered, knowing he'd gotten her when her breath hitched. "He might feel the same as he always did, but you'll always know it was me who fucked you this good. It was me who's fucked you this long without cumming yet. And it was me who you were supposed to be promised to!"

Kazuma took her lips and enjoyed her screaming orgasm as he emptied himself inside her, load after load of seed filling her core.

"...I hate you." Akane whispered. "You weren't good enough to keep me interested."

For one solid second, Kazuma forgot that this wasn't the real Akane. "I know. That's why I became a NEET in the first place, remember?"

Letting her drop to her knees, Kazuma let his cock, soaked in both their fluids, slap down against her face. "Now clean it up."

Akane parted her lips and swallowed him whole, humming around his dick as she bobbed up and down.

"To think that a cocky girl like you could be such a pretty little cocksucker." Kazuma chuckled as he pushed down hard on her head and slammed her down to the base, burying his cock down her throat and her nose in his pubes.

"Gakh!" Akane gurgled, fighting back both her gag reflex and his grip. She at least failed at the latter.

Kazuma repeated the motion as his fingers gripped her scalp, the urgency of his thrusts picking up. Soon enough, Kazuma cummed once more while holding her head in place, Akane gulping frantically as her throat was filled to the brim with shot after shot until he pulled out of her mouth with a wet pop.

Akane gasped in precious oxygen, hacking up cum. "A-Asshole."

Kazuma grinned. It wasn't a nice grin as he pulled her back to her feet and bent her over the desk, her back becoming rigid after he pushed his well lubricated tool against her tightest hole. "Excellent suggestion."

"N-N-No, wait- GUH?!" Akane choked as his cock spread apart her asshole, filling her ass with the girth. "FUCK!"

'So accurate.' All this time, Kazuma had thought that Darkness, the sole partner to have experienced anal sex with, had been so tight due to her muscular figure. Apparently, he'd been dead wrong. However, he did note that Akane's body was a lot softer in comparison, requiring him to be gentler by necessity.

It was torture not to throw caution to the wind and go at it, but Kazuma gave Akane time to get used to it, waiting for her breathing to even out before pushing further in. Her quiet grunts and whimpers had his balls tightening, but it was the fact she made no effort to stop him that truly excited him.

For all of her talk, Akane was sadly nothing more than a bitch.

Kazuma slammed the rest of the way in, relishing her cries as she tensed up. Rocking back and forth, Kazuma slowly sank deeper into Akane's ass with every thrust. "You've got such a great ass, Akane. It really is your best feature."

However, relentlessly pounding back and forth into Akane's ass, on top of already cumming twice earlier, didn't bode well for Kazuma's stamina.

So Kazuma slammed his cock into Akane's bowels like a piston, drawing a babble of meaningless words from her. Finally, Kazuma reached his limit, shoving his cock as far inside of Akane as he could, staying inside her tight ass. Then he began to cum for the last time, his dick twitching and pulsing as it shot jet after jet of semen into the tightest of all crevices.

Both of them collapsed forward at pretty much the same time, a tangle of limbs onto the classroom floor as Kazuma's cock slid out of Akane's asshole, followed once more by a stream of cum that mixed with what was still leaking out of her pussy.

While Kazuma was still awake, Akane was completely out at this point, breathing softly into his chest as he stroked her cheek. "If only that bastard hadn't existed... would I have become so pathetic...? Tell me... Akane Shinjou."

It was the moment that Kazuma closed his eyes in exhaustion that the succubus's service finally finished.

Kazuma awoke to the sun's rays hitting his eyes, his quick glance catching the pretty short succubus's gaze as she sent him a flying kiss as a goodbye before stepping back into her portal as he waved her goodbye.

Quietly preparing himself for the day, Kazuma made his way home. Even after all this time, and especially last night, Kazuma wasn't sure if he would be able to get over his childhood friend.

But by Thoth, he would try!

'Speaking of which, I wonder how she's been doing-' Kazuma's thoughts on her died as Geru immediately latched onto his face the moment he crossed the gates to his Party's mansion. "Yes, Kazuma's home."

"Boss!" Geru trilled back, reforming into settling over his shoulders and back as he saw Darkness step out of the house in her navy blue 'office lady' attire.

"Good morning." Kazuma greeted as he passed by, clapping one of her buttcheeks with a loud smack that caused her to yelp and blush. "What a lovely sound to hear in the morning."

"G-G-Good morning, Kazuma-sama." Darkness stuttered as she got her breathing back under control. "Can I assume your quest went well?"

"Yeah. I had to sleep outside, though." Kazuma replied as they both approached the building. "To be honest, I'm a bit relieved to be back here with you all."

"R-Really?" Darkness perked up.

"Yeah." Kazuma reached out and drew the taller girl into a hug, his other hand reaching up to stroke Geru. "Somewhere along the way, you girls became a lot more important than my childhood-"

"Destroyer alert! Destroyer alert!" Luna's voice boomed over the speakers in the guild. "The mobile fortress, Destroyer, is currently approaching Axel!"

"What?!" Darkness exclaimed, shocking Kazuma with the fear in her eyes.

"What's going on, Darkness?" Kazuma gripped her shoulders to regain her attention, especially when screams of panic began echoing from allover the city. "What's this 'Destroyer'?!"

KingVessel: And right into the last bit of Season 1. See ya!
