I am Succubus!

Chapter 204

We dropped by Aozora Heights before leaving Tokyo just to check in on how things were doing. I was about to knock on the door to Reza's apartment when the door swung open for us instead. A very disheveled Ms. Juna Hoshino was standing in the doorway. Her hair was a mess and unbrushed, her dress shirt wasn't fully buttoned up, and she was in the middle of kicking her right shoe on.

"Oh, uh… Hello. If you will excuse me, I have other matters… to look after." Ms. Juna cleared her throat and dipped away.

Inside the apartment, Reza was just now walking out of her room with only a towel around her chest.

"You had sex with her, didn't you?" I asked.

"We shared a few drinks, and she went along with it! W-Was I not supposed to?" Reza shrank a little like a child caught with a hand in the cookie jar.

Well, I didn't exactly tell her she couldn't.

Reza invited us in to drink the rest of the wine. I declined, but Mio accepted. Because why turn down a nice drink after having sex all night— was her reasoning at least. The apartment, as lavish as it was, lacked character. Although furnished, it only looked like those homes out of an online catalog. They were pretty to look at, but you also knew a hundred other housing designers went to the same furniture store that sold mass-produced stuff.

"Mmmhmm! Damn does this taste good after a night of eating Saeko's pussy," Mio said, taking a long and slow sip.

"Don't use how my pussy tastes as your standard of comparing… Anyway, Reza. We need to think about what you and the other succubi plan to do long-term. This is where you plan to stay, but you're going to eventually need to pay for it," I explained.

"I see. In other words, the nest and I will charm others into paying for the apartment," Reza said.

"Uh, no."

"We will have them pay half?"

"No…"

Mio snickered off to the side.

"Queen Saeko, this is difficult… We're still new to this world. You can't possibly expect us to understand its customs and functions." Reza sighed heavily.

"I know for sure some of you were lurking around during your renegade phase. How did you get by?" I asked.

"We charmed humans into our thralls to do our bidding. Cooking, sustenance, shelter… all provided by them. We're succubus, after all. It makes sense that we rule over them— ow!"

After a swift chop to Reza's forehead, I settled back into my seat and folded my arms.

"We aren't ruling over anyone. The only one who rules is me, and my rules are not to lord over humans. Remember, you have to coexist alongside them. Otherwise, it's back to the dungeons with you," I said.

"I understand…" Reza sulked, clutching her forehead in disgrace. "In that case, what must I do?"

"You need a job. A place to work and earn money from in exchange for your labor."

"Does that not make me a slave to humans?" she asked.

"I guess in this day and age it is, but… there's a lot of different ways to earn money. You just need to find the one you don't mind doing for a living. Or at least enough to put up with," I explained.

"Why don't we go job hunting? Show her how it's done," Mio suggested.

It wasn't a bad idea, but that mischievous look of hers was giving me PTSD… Though, I did promise to help them acclimate to Earth.

I was about to say sure until Mio's eyes darted around the room. She started patting herself, then wracked her head over something.

"Hold on. Can we go back to that love hotel? I forgot something," Mio said.

"What'd you forget?" I raised a curious brow.

"Uh, nothing! Faster we grab it, the better." She spread her wings and flew ahead of me without explaining any further.

We promised to come back to Reza later and headed to the love hotel. Mio charmed the clerk at the desk to give us the key again. When we entered the room, she began to look everywhere. At first, I considered helping. But I didn't know what to look for. After all, she wouldn't say.

It began with Mio looking under the bed, behind the chairs, and even in the bathtub. The longer this went on, the more frantic she became in the search. Once she started turning over furniture, I had enough.

"Mio, can you tell me what you're looking for? Maybe I can help. It's something special like a gift, isn't it? That's why you won't say?" I asked.

"Fuck!" Mio threw her hands up in frustration and sighed. "Don't be mad, okay? I… had the box of dick potions right here. Now it's gone…"

I blinked blankly at her. "What do you mean it's gone?"

"As in it's not here! It's gone!" Mio exclaimed.

"C-Calm down. The room was spotless when we entered, right? Maybe the clerk has it," I suggested.

We returned to the front, where the charmed lady at the counter was happy to see us

"Alright, cunt. Where's my dick potions?" Mio reached across the counter to grab her by the collar.

"P-Potions? I don't know what you're talking about!" she cried.

"People who are charmed would never lie to us, so she really doesn't have it… Wait, we were gone for a while. Could someone have entered the room? Do you know who cleaned it or who occupied the room after us?" I asked.

The clerk thought for a moment. Sweat beaded down her face. I gestured to Mio to let her go. Once freed, she typed into the computer for something.

"We don't have employees do any cleaning. This hotel contracts a third party company for that. They come in every morning at 8 AM on the dot, during the period that we're closed between 8 and 10 AM. It's possible someone from that company picked it up," she said.

Mio and I exchanged uneasy glances. It was currently five in the afternoon. Half the day had gone right by. Whoever had it now could have done literally anything with it since then.

"What's the company's name?" Mio asked.

"Tsuneo Cleaning," the clerk answered promptly, then handed us their business card.

Their logo was a simple water pail. They were located in the greater Tokyo metropolis. It was a rather big company that provided cleaning services to businesses like restaurants, retailers, and of course, love hotels.

We decided to go out there and check, given that dick potions in the wrong hands could only end in disaster. The three-story building with an old hiring sign on the window was tucked behind and dwarfed by a much larger office high rise. Several white vans with the label and logo of Tsuneo Cleaning were parked in its tidy lot. The rest were probably going around Tokyo servicing businesses.

Mio peeked into a random vehicle. There were nothing but cleaning supplies and machines inside it. No sign of the box.

"I think it's faster if we go inside and ask them directly," I said.

She hesitated to follow me.

"You aren't mad?" Mio reluctantly asked.

"Nope. I mean, you wanted to give me a good time. I know you didn't want to lose it anyway. The faster we find that box, the better. We can even go home for round two." I winked.

"Heh. I guess I really am the one who still has some growing up to do," she said, cracking a smile.

We entered the lobby of Tsuneo Cleaning. It smelled very faintly of cleaning chemicals. There were no chairs offered to visitors. Only the front desk and behind it were office workers glued to their computers. A door off to the right led further into the building, but unless we barged in, I had no way of knowing what was inside.

"Excuse me?" I called out.

"Oh, hello!" a young man with thick glasses and a bright smile greeted me. "Welcome to Tsuneo Cleaning. Are you looking to hire our services? We will need the name of your business before we can begin."

Mio slammed a hand down on the counter. "We ain't looking for cleaning, bub. The dick potions. Where are they?"

"D-Dick potion?" he stammered.

"Really? You're going to open with that?" I groaned and pulled her aside. "We're actually from Shooting Star, the love hotel over in Shinjuku. Can you tell us who was in charge of cleaning it earlier?"

After clenching my aura around him, he tensed up and returned to the computer to check for me.

"From 8 to 10 at Shooting Star, correct? That would be Shinyama, Kotage, and Mie. Unfortunately, the three of them are already off for the day. If they had something suspicious with them, I certainly didn't see," the man explained.

"Damn it." Mio clicked her tongue.

"Are any of the vans parked outside the one they used? Maybe they left it inside." I compelled him to give us the key and license plate number.

We checked all over the van but found nothing except canisters of detergent, crusty towels, and lots of crumpled tissue paper stuffed under the driver's seat. They had a familiar fishy smell… However, no sign of the dick potions or the box at all.

"This is hopeless. What if we grill the guy inside to give us his employees' addresses? We can check there," Mio suggested.

"It's starting to feel like that's the only way, but…" I noticed a note taped to the rearview mirror.

An address was written on it and dated for today at six in the evening. It was almost eight.

"Oh, that's a clue! Right? Right? We should check it out!" Mio urged me.

"Calm down. This isn't a detective novel. We're just looking for the potions. Besides, this could be anything and lead to anywhere—"

"Like a home address!" she added.

Well, we could always come back to Tsuneo Cleaning if this led to a dead end. I relented to Mio's whims, and we flew to the address on the note. Mio bet a home, and I bet a store. We were both wrong.

The address turned out to be a nice sushi restaurant. Their main floor was a typical sit down and eat, including a sushi belt. They also had private rooms farther inside for larger parties of people

Mio threw the door open and shouted, "Which one of you is Shinyama, Kotage, and Mie?"

Every single patron and worker stared blankly at us. One woman, whose sushi was half-way up to her mouth, slipped from the chopsticks and fell into a small bowl of soy sauce. I put a hand to my face.

"Don't you have any tact?!" I sighed.

"Who needs tact? We're trying to find the di—"

I slapped a hand over Mio's mouth before she finished her sentence. Whew. That was a close call. We were about to get crucified saying obscene things in public. Especially when there were children around.

"Uhm… I'm Mie." A man in the back of the restaurant raised his hand.

"See?" Mio smirked at me. "Alright, Mie. We've been looking for you. You work at Tsuneo Cleaning, right?"

"Uhm… I'm just a bank teller…" Mie's hand slowly came down.

"He doesn't sound like our guy. I think we've got a case of pure coincidence. W-We should probably leave before they call the police on us," I whispered to Mio.

Mio paused at the door and shuddered.

"I-I gotta take a leak," Mio said, hurrying back inside to the counter. "Hey, toots. Where's your restroom?"

"We have a policy to only allow customers to use the restroom…" the woman looked reluctant to say.

"What the fuck kind of a rule is that?" She was about to get snappy until I pulled her away.

"I'll order something to go! That should be fine, right?" I asked.

The employee nodded frantically and pointed to a hallway in the back, eyeing our succubus features with worry.

"Thanks!" Mio kissed me on the cheek and raced through the restaurant.

I apologized for the disturbance and ordered a variety of cooked and raw sushi for to-go. It was going to take a bit of time, so I figured to use the restroom before we went back to searching.

As I entered, Mio was just coming out of a stall and looking beyond relieved.

"Whew. It's like all the wine dropped outta me at once," Mio said, then thumbed over her shoulder to another stall. "Woulda been nice not to have some chick crying the whole time I was pissing…"

"Crying?" I tilted my head.

Over the gentle music, someone was definitely weeping inside one of the stalls. She was muttering something, and sounded both extremely confused and frustrated.

"Sorry, I'm just… going through some things right now…" what sounded like a young lady said in a quivering voice.

"If it's about a bad relationship, it ain't worth it!" Mio tried to give her therapy in a restaurant's restroom.

"No, it's… something else. Please, forget about it and leave me alone…" she said.

The woman sounded distressed. I felt bad for just leaving her here. Mio shrugged and headed for the exit, but I grabbed her shoulder.

"Are you being stalked or something? Is that why you're hiding in here? We're actually succubus, so we can do something about it," I offered.

"S-Succubus? Like those magic sex demons I've been seeing around? Then… Then you can do something about this!" She opened the stall door to show us a limp penis between her legs.

Mio pointed and laughed until I elbowed her in the gut.

"That's clearly from the dick potion!" I exclaimed.

"Oh, fuck. You're right. My bad! I just thought she was griping over erectile dysfunction or something." Mio still had the giggles.

"So, you do know what this is! I don't know why or how it happened… One moment, I'm enjoying a mixer. The next, I have a full blown erection!" she cried.

Just so we didn't clog up the restroom, the three of us occupied a table in the restaurant and talked over sushi dinner. Mio helped herself to mouthfuls of sushi and wasabi. The woman introduced herself as Himeko Sanagawa, a student from Tokyo University. She was a gyaru. Her hair was bleached blonde, she had a rather deep tan, and extremely caked-up nails.

"Now that you're calm, can you explain exactly what happened?" I asked.

"Well, I came here for a mixer. You know, where a bunch of single guys and girls try to get to know each other. We had one of the private rooms. Everything was going fine, and I was chatting up a cute guy. I really thought we were hitting it off, too! Then he pointed out that I had an erection and got turned off. Ugh!" Himeko sighed.

"If you didn't have a dick to begin with, chances are it's the dick potions that we're looking for. Guessing you didn't drink one on purpose?" Mio questioned her.

"No! Sure, I like dicks, but I don't want one on me!"

"That means Shinyama, Kotage, or Mie were attending the mixer! One of them had to have it and spiked your drink," I concluded.

"Why the hell would they go giving other people dicks for? What a waste. Use 'em yourself!" Mio complained.

"Wait… Kotage? I think I recognize that name… Emily Kotage? She was another girl attending the mixer!" Himeko exclaimed angrily.

Mio and I looked at each other. A woman had it.

"Those balled up tissues had to be fucking jizz puffs!" Mio shot to her feet.

"Y-You seriously call them jizz puffs? But it makes sense… Emily probably tried one, grew a dick, and couldn't get enough of masturbating… That would explain the smell…" I thought aloud.

"Hey, is there something you can do about this dick? I tried masturbating, and it hurts. I don't want it. I rather go back to taking it instead," Himeko said.

"Try lube next time, and it'll go away on its own in a few hours!" Mio assured her.

"Seriously? Thank god! I thought it was permanent!"

"Himeko, I know this has been a very traumatic experience for you, but do you know where we can find Emily?" I asked.

She shrugged.

"I dunno her. Emily didn't look like she was interested in any of the guys anyway. Tried to hit on me, but I was too distracted with a guy. She ended up leaving with one of my friends, Fuutan. I think they went to her place? I'll text her." Emily clacked into the phone with those long nails of hers.

We waited for a few minutes, but there was still no response. Emily tried calling, but it went to dial-tone instead.

"I don't like where this is going…" Mio glowered.

"Weird. Fuutan always picks up like right away." Emily continued to text worriedly.

"We might be able to catch up. Can you tell us where your friend lives?" I asked.

"Ehh… You're kind of strangers—"

"Where does Fuutan live?" Mio placed a charm on her.

Himeko obediently gave us the address. Fuutan didn't live far from here. We paid for our food, apologized to Himeko, and booked it to an apartment complex over in Chiyoda. Apparently, Fuutan lived alone in a studio apartment on the third floor. Since they came back from a mixer, that could only mean one thing…

When we got to the door to her apartment, however, it had been left ajar. The lights inside were still on. I gave Mio the go-ahead, and she opened the door. Immediately, we were assailed by the heavy scent of sweat. We found out why, entering the living room.

Lying on the floor, twitching, and covered from head to toe in semen was a woman around Himeko's age. She had deeply-dyed green hair and a piercing on her lower lip. A limp penis rested on her belly, a sign that she had drunk the dick potion, too.

"Heh… Hehehe… I love dick… having one… feels so good," Fuutan mumbled deliriously.

Mio gave me an 'oopsie' look.

"Emily's going around having sex and giving girls dick potions… How many potions were in that box?" I asked Mio.

"Well… uh…"

I squinted hard at her.

"I wanted a lifetime supply… so… I asked Shayle, and she gave me an enchanted item called Box of Endless Storage… There's gotta be like thousands in there," Mio confessed.

"THOUSANDS?! Oh… no…" I buried my face into my hands.
