Chapter 669: Recovery and Activation

Rod looked at the sleeping succubus before him.

To say he had not the slightest thought would be a lie.

Especially when it was someone as cute and enchanting as Tally.

But the image of her being moved onto the dining table earlier, eating wildly and getting scared, echoed in his mind, making Rod feel somewhat reluctant.

If the Young Lady succubus were still her usual annoying self, he would not have been soft-hearted for a moment.

Taking advantage of her sleep, grabbing her directly and pressing against her would have been no problem.

However, the current situation was truly pitiful, evoking pity.

Rod sighed, not intending to disturb her sleep any further.

"Mmm..."

She struggled to open her eyes, her blurry, hazy gaze turning toward Rod.

Suddenly, a color of surprise burst forth, and the joyful smile at the corners of her mouth could not help but rise.

But then, seeing Rod's palm held against her chest by her own hands, deforming the two soft cakes beneath, her face instantly turned completely red.

She quickly let go, pulled up a pillow to block her chest and face, and shrank timidly into the corner.

"U-um, Mr. Master, I thought you wouldn't be back tonight... so... so... sorry!"

"You can come whenever you want; I welcome it very much."

"How can that be! Tally made a mistake before; before Mr. Master forgives me, Tally absolutely will not violate the agreement!"

"You weren't this obedient before."

Rod smiled and shook his head, gesturing for her to come over.

Tally hesitated for a while, then moved over timidly.

"I want to hug you; I've been busy all day and I'm tired."

"Ah?"

The succubus shrank again. "If you're tired, Tally can give Mr. Master a massage; a hug won't help."

"How can it not? Hugging Tally makes my whole self happy and relaxed."

"... Don't succubi have such a spiritual technique?"

"It's different; Tally is special. How can giving Mr. Master a hug not be allowed?"

"H-how could that be! Please wait a moment; allow me to transform into a girl more suitable for hugging!"

"No, just like this is fine."

Tally looked troubled, examining her own body with some disgust.

"But, this is so ugly; it will scare Mr. Master..."

"Didn't I say? Your true form is incredibly cute; what I like most is you in this state."

"Really?!"

"Of course."

Tally showed a shy smile, then resolutely closed her eyes.

Sitting like a duck on the bed, she trembled and opened her arms toward Rod.

"Come on! Mr. Master!"

Rod laughed helplessly.

As soon as his arms wrapped around that slender waist, Tally let out a whimper like a kitten; through the silk nightgown, the taut lines of her spine were clearly felt, trembling slightly.

Tally's unique honey-sweet scent mixed with the smell of soap rushed toward him.

His palm slowly stroked down along her butterfly bones, and every touch of his fingertips made the girl tremble again.

Tally suddenly grabbed his lapel, her forehead moving from pressing against his collarbone, slowly burying itself in his neck.

Her hair tips and eyelashes brushed against his skin.

The two pressed close; amidst the breathtaking softness and slender tightness, an out-of-control heartbeat came from their chests, and high heat spread from the overlapping skin.

"Relax."

Rod couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Tally suddenly tilted her head up; her nose tip brushed past his lips, and in her wet pink pupils, Rod's reflection was fully present, rippling.

But Rod froze.

He clearly felt a seductive aura coming from below.

Tally's reaction after accidentally swallowing the Absolute Desire Pill was poor; even last time at the dining table, she had wildly shaken it off, so why...

"Hmm?"

"Tally can't pretend anymore! Mr. Master~~~ Ugh!"

The succubus's eyes burst forth with pink light.

She threw herself forward recklessly and kissed him wildly.

The stunned Rod was directly pushed down onto the bed by her, and that familiar frantic grabbing and touching appeared again.

"You..."

"Don't speak, kiss me quickly! I've wanted this kiss for so long! Quick!!"

"..."

Though Rod was speechless, his heart also grew happy.

He held her waist and kissed her fiercely.

Tally, like a drought meeting rain, was already impatient; her peach-heart-shaped tail hooked down her sleep pants.

Pressed against Rod's thigh, the temperature rose a few degrees again.

She climbed over, pouting as she reluctantly parted from her master's lips.

Her crossed arms pulled the sleepwear up and off, and Tally's long-awaited, perfectly alluring succubus body was exposed to Rod's gaze below.

Just then, the sky brightened.

Sunlight streamed through the window into the cabin, its rays reflecting behind Tally.

A faint sheen of sweat glimmered with a white light.

Her pupils, cheeks, and the demon's pointed horns radiated an intense, vivid pink glow, her exquisite, bewitching face wearing a wicked, triumphant smirk as she looked down.

There were also her pressed-together, slightly parted thighs and hips, and above them, the thick fullness yielding to gravity.

Every one of them was a plump, voluptuous trait at first glance.

But the contour, rising from the hip axis up to the waist, was shockingly slender.

A taut abdomen with faint hints of a corset-line and abs, and on the smooth, snow-white skin, that curse-mark.

The pink glow lingered on.

Tally, dazed and intoxicated, cupped her cheeks; her bewitching tongue moistened her lips, and the wicked grin on her face deepened.

"Mine. All of it is mine."

Rod's eyes widened slightly; unable to hold back any longer, he swept her into his arms in one motion.

"Eep~~~"

Tally let out a delighted shriek, joyfully welcoming her master.

Not long after.

A familiar sound in the woods reappeared after a long absence.

It went on and on, unending, so much so that even the green leaves outside the window trembled along.

In the distance.

A half-deer girl carrying a basket of picked wild fruit twitched her small, cute deer ears and looked back toward the direction of someone's cabin.

She blushed and clicked her tongue, but still felt happy at the long-awaited sound of that annoying succubus, the corner of her mouth curving up.

At the magic treehouse.

The elf Young Lady, who had been observing the experiment all night, suddenly knit her delicate brows.

A pair of emerald-green, cool, aloof eyes seemed to pierce through the treehouse; a moment later, she sniffed coldly with a sour expression.

"Boring."

She turned back to the experiment table before her, but her brows knit deeper and deeper.

After struggling for a while, she couldn't help pulling something out of her spell pouch, muttering: "That damned human."

Rod patted the back of Tally, who had collapsed exhausted against his chest.

Almost without hesitation.

He chose to activate Tally's 【Ancestor's Heartblood】.
