After parting ways with Kyus.

He continued cleaning the windows, and just as he finished cleaning all the windows in the corridor, the man in the tailcoat returned.

"Thank you for your hard work. It’s only the first day, so let’s wrap things up here."

I have a room ready for you. Please come with me."

"got it"

Guided by the man, Shiori proceeded through the mansion.

We left the mansion we had been in and moved to an annex built nearby. We were then led to a room on the second floor of that annex.

"Please use this room while you are working as a maid."

Work starts at 8:00 AM tomorrow, so please be ready by then.

Well then, I’ll be taking my leave."

"Yes, I understand."

The room I was shown to was a bare, unadorned room with only a bed, a desk, a chair, and a closet.

However, considering it was a servant’s room, it wasn’t all that bad.

After watching the man in the tailcoat leave, Shiori took another look around the room.

"Well... ah, if I sleep in this bed, it’ll automatically become 8 o’clock tomorrow. So, let’s get started... uh, yes."

I looked around the room and sat down on the bed, and then the option of whether to do it tomorrow or not came up.

Shiori was about to press the button when there was a knock on the door.

Therefore, Shiori decided to postpone it until tomorrow and opened the door.

"Hey, is now a good time?"

"...Lord Kyus. Is something the matter?"

It was Kyus who was there.

As Kyus stood there with his hands behind him, looking somewhat embarrassed, Shiori responded while consciously trying to maintain a maid-like demeanor... and Kyus extended both hands forward.

"Shiori... no, Ms. Shiori!"

This is sudden, but I’ve fallen in love with you...! Please, don’t work as a maid, marry me!

"...Huh...?!"

"Huh... You’re going to propose that suddenly...?"

The outstretched hand held a magnificent bouquet of flowers, making it undeniably a marriage proposal.

However, it was all so sudden that Shiori was understandably confused... or rather, she seemed to feel a strong sense of disgust.

Basically, Shiori plays this game, "Fantasia World," in order to be raped.

Therefore, if the scenario involved being repeatedly raped and then being forced to become a wife while being mocked with "I like you! I’ll make you my wife! Though I’ll call you a sex slave! Ha ha ha!", Shiori would feel humiliated but also excited and pleased.

However, without being raped or anything else,

Being proposed to by someone you’ve just met is...

It was as if he had come back to his senses, and all he felt was disgust.

"Eh..."

What would happen if I accepted this marriage proposal in a game-like way?

Although she had some doubts, Shiori was so indifferent that she didn’t even think about trying it.

"Um, well... Lord Kyus and I haven’t even known each other for a day yet... and we don’t really know each other well enough to consider such things... so, I’m sorry, but I’ll have to decline."

"Why am I saying something like this in a place like this...?"

Therefore, Shiori remained extremely calm, and although she didn’t feel sorry at all, she pretended to be sorry while declining the offer.

"Ah...! I see... Well, of course... It’s true that you and I have only just met. It’s only natural that you would refuse since we don’t know each other well... I’m sorry..."

"...Haaah"

Shiori’s words were so obvious that Kyus reacted with shock, but he nodded in agreement, seemingly convinced.

As Shiori remained detached and indifferent despite his reaction, Kyus began to speak again.

"Well... if you don’t know much about it, then let’s learn about it."

This isn’t the right place to talk, let’s go to my room. Will you come with me?"

"......yes"

Shiori went along with Kyus’s suggestion, though she felt rather unimpressed by it.

"...So, Shiori, are you starting to think about marrying me?"

"...No. I have no intention of getting married. I will only work as a maid in this mansion."

"I want to go home... Maybe I should stop this quest..."

Kyus’s room inside the mansion.

Shiori was forced to listen to Kyus’s stories endlessly.

And when the conversation had come to a close, Kyus asked the question again, but Shiori, still feeling indifferent, did not nod in agreement.

Shiori was starting to think that if nothing more happened, she should just give up on the quest.

Kyus hung his head, looking disappointed.

"I see... so it’s no good... then... there’s nothing I can do."

"I really didn’t want to do this, but I’ll have to resort to a somewhat drastic measure."

"...What...?"

"Oh my... what do you mean by a rough method...? ♡"

Eventually, he slowly raised his head,

Kyuus said this with a look of disappointment.

As Shiori became intrigued by the phrase "rough methods," Kyus stood up... and placed his hand on his chest.

"To tell you the truth, I’m not actually human, Shiori."

My true identity is... a succubus."

"Ah...! A succubus...?!"

"Whoa...something amazing just came out!? ♡"

As soon as he introduced himself, Kyus’s body began to glow.

The next moment, it had grown black wings on its back and a tail on its waist.

And above its head, the words "Succubus Kyus Lv25" appeared.

Shiori’s detached feelings vanished at the unexpected revelation of the true identity.

I was starting to get really excited.

"Alright then, let’s make a bet, Shiori."

During the week you work as a maid in this mansion, I will try various approaches to you.

If you become captivated by me and fall in love with me, then I win.

If you leave as soon as the quest is over, without becoming captivated or falling in love, then you win.

This is the gamble.

"...Okay, then let’s finalize the contract with these terms."

"...Ah...I’m not going to take on a bet like that! This demon...! I’ll defeat it...!"

"That’s fine... but it would be weird not to resist at this point, so I’ll put up a bit of a fight...!"

Having revealed his true identity, Kyus then proposed—no, decided—to make a bet, and reached out his hand towards Shiori.

Shiori could have taken that gamble,

Perhaps because he had been indifferent until just moments ago, he seemed to have chosen to resist, and he pulled out his rapier and prepared to swing it.

"Ah...! Wh-why..."

"My body... won’t move...!? No, this is..."

However, just as Shiori was about to swing, her hand froze as if in a trumpet lock, and she never managed to hit Kyus.

"Oops... Right now, Shiori is my supportive maid."

As long as you’re wearing that uniform, you can’t attack me, your master."

"Eh...? Ah...!"

"Ah...! So that’s how it is...!"

Kyus nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world that Shiori had stopped moving, and said that.

Shiori seemed to realize what was happening after hearing those words, and opened the menu to check her equipment.

△△△△△

△△△△△

This is something unique that we haven’t seen before.

A clause was added that compelled them to obey Kyus.

Realizing that the effect was preventing her from attacking, Shiori immediately tried to eliminate it, but...

"You mustn’t delete that message, Shiori."

"Ah...! You..."

Kyus’s words prevented Shiori from deleting the message.

As Shiori was trembling and unable to move, Kyus reached out his hand again... and began to speak while touching Shiori’s cheek.

"Now... let the bet begin, Shiori."

"Uh...!"

As soon as those words were spoken, Shiori’s vision showed that the bet with Kyus had begun.

As Shiori shivered at the sight of the display, Kyus immediately began to speak.

"Well then... Shiori-san."

I’m going to get straight to the point and try to get you to like me.

Most importantly... I won’t be taking the usual approach of talking about hobbies anymore.

As a succubus, I will spend a week thoroughly immersing your beautiful, erotic body in pleasure, making you a slave to the pleasure I give you. Then, you will fall in love with me, won’t you?

Now, first, let’s have you drop your weapons and lie down on that bed over there."

"Ah... uh, uh... my body is... moving on its own..."

"Ah... it’s not a disappointment at all... this quest looks quite promising...! ♡"

Shiori was inwardly thrilled when Kyus declared that he would torture her with pleasure as a succubus,

Dropping his rapier with a clatter to the floor, he lay down on the bed that Kyus had pointed to.
