Bokue had never imagined in his entire life that he'd one day get flirted with by a tiny Succubus girl, so his response was swift, simple, and brutally effective—a flick to the forehead.
"Ow!"
The flick was barely more than a tap, so light it wouldn't hurt a fly.
But Maria reacted as though she'd been struck by lightning, flinching back with a dramatic jolt, her brows furrowing as she puffed out her cheeks in protest.
"Mo~! That's so mean, Bokue-san! How could you do something like that to a girl? I was seriously trying to confess to you, you know!"
...Huh?
Bokue narrowed his eyes, a strange feeling creeping up in his gut. Maybe it was just his imagination, but something about that line felt... off.
If this were the real Maria, given how long they'd known each other, wouldn't she be fake-crying and whining by now, hands over her head, sniffling and pouting like she always did when she got teased?
But this? This reaction felt way too... mature.
"Trying to act all grown-up now?"
Bokue casually reached out and pinched her cheek.
"I was just wondering why you have my spiritual beacon on you. I only remember placing one on Mio back when you helped me form the Master-Servant contract, not you. But when I tried teleporting here earlier, I sensed two."
"Master-Servant contract... spiritual beacon...?"
A flicker of confusion flashed across "Maria's" eyes—just for a split second. She quickly masked it, replacing it with a pensive expression.
"Hmm, I'm not really sure. Is that beacon thing dangerous?"
"Not really." Bokue shrugged. "It's just some of my spiritual energy that lingers on the person. I can track it, like those waypoint markers in RPGs. But if you really want to nitpick for side effects... uh…"
"Spiritual energy?" "Maria" paused, an image flashing in her mind—Bokue lighting up his golden aura in front of them just yesterday in the suite's living room.
That rich, blazing flavor...
She unconsciously licked her lips.
And then it hit her—
"Ah—!"
Like something suddenly took hold of her body, the Succubus girl trembled ever so slightly. A faint crimson flush spread rapidly across her cheeks.
Her eyes grew glassy, her breathing shallowed, and her waist began to subtly shift on its own.
"W-What's going on…? I-I feel... weird..."
She looked totally lost, completely baffled by her own body's reaction.
Succubus, after all, were creatures born of lust. Even if some of them were modest by nature, they still delighted in watching others spiral into desire. That's why their Master-Servant contracts were often built on affection, even if they themselves stayed clean.
But... she hadn't formed a contract with Bokue. So why the hell was this happening?
It was too late to think.
The sensations weren't gradually building—they were rocketing upward like a bottle rocket. If you tried mapping her current state as a graph, her arousal curve would be a ninety-degree vertical line.
She was overwhelmed. No self-control left.
She wanted it—badly.
"B-Bokue... please... h-hold me..."
With the last scraps of sanity barely holding on, she launched herself into Bokue's chest. The heat radiating from her soaked right through both layers of clothing.
"...Seriously, what the hell is happening today?"
Bokue let out a silent sigh and mentally facepalmed. If Mio ever found out about this... she'd probably burn the whole hotel to the ground.
But it wasn't like he had a choice now.
With that thought, Bokue casually flicked out a double-layered barrier—one to repel outsiders and the other for soundproofing. He didn't even bother moving to the bed. Instead, he swept the books off the desk and gently laid the frenzied Succubus girl atop it.

Meanwhile, just outside in the suite's living room...
Mio Naruse was lounging on the sofa, dressed in her usual laid-back tank top that left nothing to the imagination. Her arms folded, she kept flicking her phone on and off.
She wasn't scrolling through apps, watching videos, or checking messages.
Just locking and unlocking the screen.
At first, she was checking the time every thirty seconds.
Then it was every ten.
Now it was every five.
She was clearly getting antsy.
On the adjacent sofa, a bob-cut Succubus girl and a white-haired Valkyrie in full-on maid mode were focused entirely on demolishing the durian mille-crepe cake in front of them.
Naturally, it was another one of the hotel's complimentary "services."
Technically speaking, everything the girls had been eating, drinking, or using in this suite had come via 100% off "dream magic shopping." With both Maria and Sheila present, anything they wanted could be summoned with a phone call—no charge.
If they really wanted to, they could probably get the staff to "procure" things even the hotel didn't normally provide—like gold, for example.
Thankfully, Mio and the others weren't that shameless. They figured a little mooching was fair, but they weren't about to bleed the hotel dry. As long as their basic needs were covered, they were content.
And desserts definitely counted as a "basic need."
After yet another impatient glance at her phone, Mio sighed heavily and tossed it onto the corner of the couch. Then she turned to the Succubus girl next to her, still chewing on cake.
"Hey, Maria."
"Yes, Mio-sama?"
Hearing her big sister's voice, Maria immediately dropped her utensils and blinked her wide eyes, whipped cream still on her face.
Seeing that clueless expression, Mio's irritation actually eased up a little—but not completely.
"Where the hell's Bokue? It's almost noon. Did he show up this morning and leave already or something?"
"Hmm... I don't think so."
Maria tilted her head thoughtfully, then shook it.
"Maybe Bokue-san had other things to do today? I mean, we're safe here, so he probably didn't think he had to come by every single day. Hmm..."
She paused, noticing Mio's half-brooding expression.
Then she smiled and changed the topic.
"It's fine! Bokue-san always shows up when it matters most. And since it's almost lunchtime, let's focus on something more important—what should we order?"
"Sure, let's ask Aunt Sheila what she wants too." Mio said casually.
"You got it!"
Maria stood up straight and gave a dramatic salute, then turned and began trotting toward the bedroom.
But just as she reached the hallway, she suddenly stopped. A dazed expression flashed across her face for the briefest second.
Then she turned around and smiled at Mio.
"Actually... maybe not. Mom's probably reading right now. She'll come out when she's hungry. Let's order first."
"Okay... I guess."
Mio nodded slowly.
That... seemed reasonable enough.
