The Priest’s Fall Into Lustful Heat - Chapter 90

The knights and exorcists would be armed, and the nuns would pray throughout the night to protect the citizens. Meanwhile, demons that descended to the human realm in search of prey, or succubi flitting in and out of dreams to gather energy, could be driven away or, if luck ran out, captured.

“Ugh…”

Ashtel squeezed her eyes shut and pondered. It would be great if she could persuade Payne, but she lacked the logical reasoning of Carmen and the cruel cunning of Moablon.

So what should she do? After deep contemplation, she suddenly lifted her head.

“Sister, what is our second sister doing right now?”

—…Are you talking about Sister Juvia?

“Yeah!”

—What do you mean? She’s been sleeping for nearly fifty years. She’s probably still dozing in her burrow… Wait a minute, are you?

That ‘wait a minute’ was indeed a realization.

“If it’s Sister Juvia, can’t she erase Payne’s memories?”

The abilities of the succubi of the Asti tree varied. Ashtel had shapeshifting. Moablon could change her age. Carmen’s ability was high intelligence, allowing her to tinker with all sorts of things in her territory.

And Juvia? She was the ‘dreamer.’ In the realm of dreams, she was powerful enough to rival their eldest sister, Sermedes.

No matter how absurd the fantasy, in dreams, it could become reality, and even those with immense divine power could be easily subdued in that realm. So, if Juvia was to invade Payne’s dreams and brainwash him to erase his memories for just one day, it wouldn’t be impossible.

After all, she was the lord of dreams.

—But how are you going to meet Sister Juvia?

However, there was one major issue: Juvia, as the lord of dreams, truly lived only in the realm of dreams.

—She barely woke up when you were born. Do you think she’d wake up just to erase a human memory?

“…We won’t know until we try!”

—And in the first place, to meet Sister Juvia, you’d have to come to the demon realm. Who’s going to take care of your human while you’re in and out of the demon realm?

The problems didn’t end there.

—Can Sister Juvia even come down to the human realm? The impact would be immense.

That was true as well. The stronger the power, the greater the influence on humans. It was uncertain how many days it would take to awaken Juvia in the first place.

By the time Ashtel emerged from her fruit, her eldest sister, Sermedes, had already blown up half of Juvia’s territory just to call her.

In simpler terms, she woke her up with a beating. The territory was a place that should not be disturbed. It was the deepest possession of the residing demon, filled with their primal desires.

As a result, when Juvia woke up, she nearly clashed with Sermedes but melted away upon seeing the adorably crying Ashtel.

After about fifty years of caring for her, Juvia returned to sleep. Thus, Juvia was one of the sisters Ashtel was least close to. Even though she had taken care of her, they had seen little of each other, so there was no chance to build a bond.

‘…But, but if I make a request…’

Being the youngest in the Asti’s succubi had its conveniences. No matter what trouble she caused, she had never faced punishment, and even when she acted boldly, she only received mild scolding.

Ashtel was well aware of her own audacity but chose to believe in her cuteness as well.

“I’m sure Sister Juvia can be awakened. It’s okay if it takes a little while.”

—So what about the human?

“Payne will go with me.”

—…What?

“I’m going to take him to the demon realm.”

This time, Ashtel didn’t respond with her usual innocent voice. She raised her gaze with a firm determination and continued speaking.

“Sister, lend me a tool that can help a human endure the demon realm.”

—You… really…

Carmen clicked her tongue, sounding exasperated. However, as the conversation continued, she shifted her posture with a clatter.

“I’ll make sure you can suck and bite.”

—Really?

“Yeah. I’ll transform into the man you like and stay that way for a few days, so please help me.”

Previously, she had asked Ashtel to transform into the man she loved while providing help. This was an extension of that request and a sweet favor Carmen couldn’t refuse.

—Alright. Since you’ve gone this far, I can’t refuse.

Carmen’s voice, once cold as a mountain peak, softened somewhat.

—I’ll prepare and come to the human realm tomorrow. I want to see the state of that human and also take your cute little gift.

“Ugh, that quickly?”

—Of course, it’s been a long time since I had this opportunity.

Carmen’s voice, filled with a teasing chuckle, felt sweet yet somehow sinister.

It was understandable. She was about to covet her delicate succubi sister, and the sleeping desires lurking beneath that longing were something Ashtel couldn’t even begin to fathom.
