"Huh? Maria, you did what?!" Seir exclaimed, completely taken aback.

Maria repeated herself with a mischievous smile. "I made all the maids in Lord Malakarion's castle lactate…"

Seir stared at her in disbelief. "Wait a second… Are you being serious? Did you really do something like that?"

Puffing out her chest proudly, she nodded. "Yes… I did that."

Hearing her confirmation, another question popped into Seir's mind. "And when exactly did this happen? How long ago was it?"

Maria's expression softened as she fell into a state of reminiscence, as if recalling the good old days. "Oh, it was sometime before Lady Sephie gave birth to you, Lord Seirios…"

"I see… so that's why all the maids there were lactating despite never having been pregnant," Seir murmured in understanding.

At the same time, another thought surfaced in his mind—one he kept to himself. 'And why I had the chance to suck on so many pairs of tits…'

When he was an infant, he had been breastfed by many different women. Honestly, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had sucked on the breasts of nearly every maid in that castle.

Thinking of all those pair of tits, a nostalgic smile tugged at his lips. 'Ah… those were the days. Just me, surrounded by a dozen pairs of soft, warm breasts, hanging right in front of me—ready to be sucked on all day long…'

"This does clear up something I've always wondered about…" Seir murmured, stroking his chin.

For the longest time, he had wondered why so many of them were lactating despite never having gone through pregnancy. It was completely unnatural. Sure, spontaneous lactation in women not going through pregnancy wasn't unheard of, but for all the maids to be experiencing it at the same time? That was beyond odd.

Seir had always assumed it was the result of some kind of magic—or perhaps a unique trait of the species he had been reborn into, where women naturally produced milk regardless of pregnancy. Of course, he had quickly dismissed the latter theory after realizing he had been reincarnated into Draconic Deus as a High-Class Devil. Given his knowledge about DxD, Seir knew that she-devils didn't lactate constantly. If they did, Hyōdō Issei would have definitely been breastfed at least once by the Switch Princess for an absurd yet power-up.

'Heck, if Rias Gremory was in the lactation phase and had fed that boy her breast milk, I bet he wouldn't have even needed Amrita… Just that act alone—and her milk—would probably have been enough to push him straight to the point of awakening the T DxD.'

Since that never happened, his assumption about the females of their species was incorrect, which Seir naturally accepted.

However, the possibility of it being a magical phenomenon had lingered in his mind, and since it wasn't something biological and natural, it had to be magical and artificial.

'And it turns out that Magic was indeed responsible… well not exactly Magic, but a potion, a succubus' potion… but...' Seir's eyes twitched as he processed the revelation and looked at the culprit. 'This Succubus—Maria Naamah—was the one responsible for all of it…!'

"To do something like that… Maria… you really are…" Seir murmured, unsure of how to react.

"That's right, that's right! Aren't I the most awesome Succubus?" she asked eagerly, as if expecting praise for what she clearly saw as a glorious achievement.

"Well… I don't know about you being the most awesome succubus, but…" Seir paused for a moment before adding, "You really are something…"

Although he had undeniably benefited from her actions, even he wasn't sure how to react to the sheer absurdity of it all. 'To think she would actually do something so absurd…'

'Or maybe her actions aren't that crazy…'

After all, succubi are essentially sex devil, their very existence revolving around pleasure—they live and thrive on it. Compared to the kind of absurd things they're capable of, making a few hundred maids lactate might not even be that big of a deal.

'Yeah, her actions were rather tame; not even 4/10 on the scale of absurdity as they didn't even involve real sex!' Seir thought. Still, he decided to praise her. "Even by succubus standards, you truly are one hell of a succubus."

Maria seemed satisfied by his praise and laughed happily like a child, "Fufufu~ Isn't that right?"

"But why exactly did you do something like that in the first place? Why did you mix that special succubus potion into the maids' meals? Moreover, why even bother creating such a potion?" Seir asked curiously.

Yeah, what she did was absurd, and she was punished for it, but what was her reasoning?

Maria shrugged. "I was just testing the effectiveness of a potion I created…"

"Just testing?" Seir frowned.

Maria laughed. "Yes, just testing it out…" She then added proudly, "Well, that potion is now a highly sought-after commodity. Its development led to the birth of several new kinks in the sexual lives of devils and brought significant profits to both the Belphegor and Naamah households, so there's that…" She then chuckled sheepishly and added, "It's just that because I tested it on all the maids in Lord Malakarion's castle without informing anyone or requesting their approval, I ended up getting banned from there…"

"I see. Well, the punishment you got is indeed justified," Seir murmured before adding, "Although, it did work out in my favor, so I won't complain…"

Maria blinked in surprise at his words before a wide, teasing grin spread across her lips. "Lord Seirios, you pervert…"

Seir simply shrugged. "Takes one to know one. And if I'm being honest, I'm still not as far gone as you are."

Instead of being offended, Maria took his taunt as if it were a compliment. "Thank you for your praise, Lord Seirios," she said, looking rather pleased with herself.

'Perhaps, for a succubus, being called a big pervert was indeed a compliment.' Thought Seir, feeling slightly irked and turned his head away—only to spot the same pair of thick spiral glasses and green hair peeking out from behind a bookshelf.

"Hm… she's still staring while hiding behind the bookshelf…" he murmured to himself before calling out, "Thea… if you want to join the conversation, why don't you come out and take a seat?"

The moment Thea heard his invitation, she immediately ran away.

Watching her disappear, Seir murmured in confusion, "She's a weird one…" 'Or maybe she isn't interested in conversing with a pair of perverts.'

Maria smirked teasingly. "Could it be… Lord Seirios, has that girl caught your interest? If we go by your taste in older women with ripened bodies, she does seem to fit perfectly. She has the mature body of an adult… and her breasts are quite big too. You'd definitely be able to deal with your boner if it were her…"

"Forget about her body—I haven't even seen her face properly, so there's no reason to be interested in her in the first place," Replied Seir with a Shrug.

"Is that so…?" Maria murmured, studying Seir's expression. Seeing no sign of deception on his face, she let out a sigh and groaned, "How boring…"

"I'm sorry for not lusting after just a pair of glasses," Seir said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

Maria pouted, searching for anything she could use to tease Seir.

Suddenly, a mischievous grin spread across her face as she recalled something. "Ah… by the way, this morning, after I left you blue-balled… how did you deal with your boner?" she asked, pausing for effect before adding, "Was it Zest who helped you out? If it was her, I wouldn't be surprised… although she is very shy and very reserved, she's also very kind, she probably wouldn't hesitate to lend you a hand."

After all, it was Zest who had brought Seir to the dining hall for breakfast, so in Maria's opinion, it had to be her who lend a hand to Seir.

Seir stared at Maria, unimpressed. "First of all, you didn't leave me blue-balled—I was the one who rejected your so-called 'since I am the one at fault, then let me apologize with my body.'" He paused before adding, "Second, since it was my boner, how I dealt with it is my personal business… and it has nothing to do with you."

With that, he turned his attention back to his book, clearly done with the conversation. "Now, if you'll excuse me… I have a book to read."

But how could Maria give up so easily? Rather, she felt as though Seir was hiding something from her, and a curious glint appeared in her eyes as she pressed him, "Oh, come on… don't leave me hanging here… give me the juicy details," she leaning closer practically sticking her face between the books and asked, "Did she just lend you a hand, or did she help you out in some other way? Is that the real reason you were late to breakfast this morning?"

Seir didn't react at all, completely ignoring her as he shifted a little.

Seeing this, Maria pouted. "Ah… If you tell me everything, Lord Seirios, then… then…" She trailed off, her eyes suddenly lighting up as an idea struck her. "I'll give you the answer to your question—the one you asked me this morning."

But Seir simply shrugged and shook his head. "There's no need for that."

"What?" Maria exclaimed, taken aback by his refusal. "Are you no longer curious about why your body reacted in that manner to stimulation despite being so young?"

"I've already figured out the answer," Seir replied smoothly. "It's my mother's blood, isn't it? The blood of the Succubus from the Eisheth Zenunim Household—the part of me I inherited from her… making me part Incubus."

"Eh?? You actually figured it out?" Maria asked, surprised but also slightly disappointed. She had hoped to use this information to squeeze some answers out of Seir—answers that would have made for great teasing material later. It's a pity that he already figured out the answer.

"It wasn't that difficult to deduce in the first place," Seir said with a shrug. "Once I sat down and considered all the possibilities, the most logical conclusion became clear." He smiled knowingly and said, asking her, "Though I wasn't completely certain about it, but seeing your reaction, I guess my answer is correct, isn't it?"

Maria sighed and nodded. "Yes… that seems to be the most logical explanation to me as well. Your Incubus blood likely reacted to the intense sexual stimulation from the dream, resulting in both your boner and orgasm despite you being so young."

"I thought so," Seir murmured to himself.

'So, I'm part Incubus… Well, that's certainly interesting. I guess this at least explains why I always have horny thoughts. After all, being horny is in the very nature of Incubi and Succubi. Then again, who am I kidding? I was always a horny guy, even in my past life. Being part Incubus doesn't really change anything—it just makes sense. After all, it'd be more surprising if someone like me didn't have some connection to the Sex Devils.' Seir mused in his mind.

While Seir was lost in thought, Maria let out a disappointed sigh. "It's not fair…"

"What's not fair?" Seir asked, glancing at her.

"For you to figure out the answer yourself," Maria pouted before quickly adding, "Fine then, forget about that answer you came up with on your own, then I'll answer your question and you will give me all the juicy details."

Seir sighed, rubbing his temple. "Stop asking for unreasonable. You are starting to get annoying. You do realize that's never going to happen, right?" He narrowed his eyes at her. "Why are you so obsessed with this anyway? It's not like there's anything interesting to tell…"

Maria smirked mischievously. "Call it a Succubus' curiosity for gathering sexy secrets. And whether it's interesting or not is for me to decide." She climbed onto his lap, leaning in close. "So, come on now… spill it."

"Alright, alright, fine—just stop clinging to me," Seir relented, gently pushing her back. With a sigh, he simply said, "I took a cold shower. The cold water cooled me down—including my boner. That's also why I was late, as I already told Roygun this morning… if you had been paying attention."

Maria blinked, completely taken aback. "What? That's it?"

"I did tell you it wasn't anything interesting," Seir replied with a shrug.

She groaned, resting her head on his lap. "How boring!" Then, looking up at Seir, she grinned and said, "Let's do something fun, Lord Seirios…"

Seir sighed, setting his book down after putting up a marker since it seemed impossible to read with Maria constantly demanding his attention. After putting down the book, he turned to her, "Alright… out with it." Of course, rather than indulging into her demand, he asked her, "What are you doing here, anyway? Weren't you going to work on your magic tool or whatever in your workshop?"

"I was," Maria replied, then added, "But I ran into a problem while designing the enchantment. I tried several solutions, but nothing worked, and I needed a break to clear my mind. Then I thought about you… and realized you didn't even come looking for me even after I especially invited you. So, I decided to come find you instead."

"In short, you're here to annoy me as a way to cool your mind?" Seir deadpanned.

"Not true," Maria said, shaking her head before adding with a grin, "I'm here to annoy you and have fun with you, Lord Seirios." She then added, "Let's go do something fun… I have an interesting idea in mind."

Seir eyed her warily. "What kind of fun are you suggesting?"

Maria smiled mischievously as she leaned in closer and whispered in his ear, "It goes like this… first, I'll use… then you join in… together, we go to Zest and Elder Sister… then to Mistress Roygun… and after that, to Mio, Yuki, Liala, and Sapphire… then—"

Before she could finish, Seir pushed her away and flatly refused. "No. I want no part in it."

Maria blinked, taken aback. "Eh? But it will be fun, and even if the plan fails, you won't be punished! I'll be the only one getting in trouble, so what's the problem?"

"True, there's no problem," Seir admitted, which made Maria brighten up.

"Then you'll—"

"But I'm still not participating," he interrupted, shutting her down before she could celebrate.

Maria sighed in defeat, letting her head fall back onto Seir's lap.

Seir looked down at her, noting how she lay there lifelessly. After a brief moment of silence, he pursed his lips and said, "Let's do something else, then."

Maria mumbled into his lap, "Like what?"

He pondered for a moment before his eyes lit up. "Weren't you working on a magic tool?" He paused before continuing, "Tell me about it. What kind of tool were you creating? And what problem were you facing? Maybe I can help."

Maria was about to refuse. "I'm not so sure you'd be interested in the thing I'm creat—" She stopped mid-sentence and then suddenly nodded with an excited expression. "You know what, Lord Seirios… alright. I'll tell you about the magic tool I'm working on." She sat up, a playful grin spreading across her face. "Actually, rather than just talking about it, why don't I directly take you to my workshop? That way, you can see it with your own eyes and give me your advice, hm? What do you think?"

As she made the suggestion, she was internally laughing. 'Hehehe… this will be fun. Just imagining the look on Lord Seirios' face… It would be worth it.'

Seir couldn't read her mind, but the mischievous smile on her face made him second-guess his decision. 'Did I just step on a landmine or something?' A part of him considered backing out, but his curiosity as a former scientist and the desire to explore the magical technology of this world got the better of him.

If he was being honest, he wanted to learn how to create those damn magical tool himself!

Suppressing the bad feeling creeping into his gut, he finally said, "Yeah, alright… let's go to your workshop."

Maria giggled in amusement, placed a hand on Seir's shoulder, and in the next moment, both of them vanished from the library.

The moment Seir and Maria vanished, Thea's head slowly emerged from the bookshelf as if phasing through it. She glanced at the now-empty sofa, where only a lone book remained, then turned around and left.

.

.

On the other side, Seir suddenly found himself falling as the sofa beneath him vanished. With a thud, he landed unceremoniously on the floor, groaning in annoyance.

"Couldn't you have teleported us onto a bed or at least a sofa?" he grumbled as he got to his feet, dusting himself off. Looking around, he muttered, "I didn't know this was your color… isn't this way too much re—"

But his words trailed off as he took in his surroundings. His eyes widened in sheer disbelief. "Holy mother of cow… what is this place?"

Maria chuckled in amusement. "This?" She twirled playfully. "This is my room." Then, with a teasing smirk, she asked, "Do you like it, Lord Seirios?" Puffing out her chest proudly, she added, "And what do you think of the décor?"

Seir was too stunned—and slightly nervous—to speak. After a moment of silence, he finally let out a nervous chuckle. "Haha… I don't even know what to say…"

He wasn't faking it. At this moment, he really did feel uneasy. The reason? The entire room was drenched in black and red—especially red. That wasn't the issue by itself, but the sheer overwhelming aura of decadence and control made his pulse quicken.

Crimson velvet drapes with rich fabric cascaded from the ceiling, absorbing the dim glow of flickering candlelight. The dark wood-panelled walls were lined with cabinets, each meticulously organized and filled with an array of props—cuffs, collars, chains, ropes, steel hooks, dildos, strap-ons, plugs, masks, whips… scalpels and needles? Gags? Bowls? What the fuck were they here for?

At the center of it all stood a grand, imposing four-poster bed with a wrought iron frame, its headboard adorned with silk ropes draped enticingly. To the left of the bed, a sleek red leather chaise lounge rested beside a suspension rig, waiting to be used. On the other side, a black X-shaped stand with cuffs attached to its ends stood ominously, while ropes dangled from the ceiling. Nearby, two black mahogany chairs sat in perfect symmetry, accompanied by an array of other props—including a glass tank filled with red-colored water and various other suspicious items that Seir could neither begin to identify the use of nor want to think about.

A faint scent of leather and something intoxicatingly sweet lingered in the air, mingling with the soft rustle of silk and the distant creak of chains. The atmosphere was both enticing and intimidating, as if calling out to the people of innocent hearts to a space designed for pleasure, pain, and everything in between.

Standing in the midst of it all, Seir felt a wave of unease wash over him.

Even though it was his first time seeing such a place with his own eyes, he immediately understood what it was. The words 'Red Room of Pain' instantly surfaced in Seir's mind.

Yep, there was no doubt about it… this was a full-fledged BDSM room.

Glancing at Maria, he hesitantly asked, "Wh-why is a place like this your room?"

Maria shrugged. "I just like the décor…" Seeing Seir's reaction, she felt both amused and excited.

"You have weird tastes…" Seir muttered in response.

Maria didn't seem to care.

Seir frowned and asked, "Why bring me here?"

Maria shrugged. "We're just making a quick stop before heading to the workshop. I wanted to show you some of the props here."

Pointing to one of the cabinets, she began, "This prop here—"

But before she could begin, Seir cut in with an uncharacteristically serious tone, "Maria… can we directly go to your workshop, please? I'm not feeling comfortable here…"

This was the first time he had ever seen such a place. No matter how much he tried to calm his nerves, he simply couldn't and wanted to leave. The atmosphere of the room was too overwhelming for a virgin like him…

Maria, noticing his genuine discomfort, decided not to push any further. With an obedient nod, she said, "As you command, Lord Seirios… If it makes you that uncomfortable, I shall change the décor," and snapped her fingers.

With a snap of her fingers, the entire room transformed.

The once-intimidating atmosphere shifted into that of a sleek and elegant chamber befitting a young noblewoman. The ominous cabinets containing questionable props were replaced with bookshelves, the imposing bed was now a luxurious and beautifully adorned one, and the overall aesthetic took on a sophisticated gothic charm.

"This is much better," Seir said with a relieved sigh, nodding as he stood in place for a couple of minutes, regaining his composure.

Maria remained silent, patiently waiting for him to recover.

Once he did, Seir turned to her with a dark expression and asked, "Maria, can you please explain why you showed me something like that?"

"Just wanted to see your reaction to my décor," Maria answered truthfully, a hint of amusement in her tone.

'Your desire to see my reaction to your décor might have just traumatized me,' Seir thought with a sigh. He muttered under his breath, "I'm not into this kind of stuff… Heck, I'm a virgin. I don't even know what it's like to fuck someone, and you're showing me this kind of place."

Maria simply smiled and teased, "We can change that immediately if you want… Do you?"

Seir pressed his lips into a thin line. He wasn't in the mood for fucking at the moment, especially not with her considering her teenage appearance. Rather than answering her question, he simply stated, "I don't think I'll ever be into this kind of thing…"

Maria shrugged. "We have an eternal lifespan… Eventually, you'll start getting bored of the simple things."

'That's a scary thought…' he mused, unsure of how to respond.

A part of him knew Maria was speaking the truth. Eventually, even the simplest pleasures would start to lose their charm. That's just how it is—no matter how fascinating or enjoyable something may be, there comes a time when it becomes mundane, and you start craving something new, something more… stimulating.

But he didn't want to dwell on these thoughts any longer. Letting out a light sigh, he said, "Forget it. Let's just go to your workshop already."

But Maria, with a faint smile, shook her head. "I don't think you'd want to step into my workshop… I showed you the décor earlier, not just to see your reaction, but also to give you a taste of what to expect. And judging by how uncomfortable you got, it's better if we stop here."

Seir narrowed his eyes, sensing something was off. "What are you saying?" Then it clicked on him. "You don't mean…?"

Maria nodded. "Indeed. The props you saw before… many of them are magic tools I created by myself. Even the ones that aren't magic tools were handmade by me in my workshop." After a brief pause, she added, "And my workshop is filled with such props."

"For fuck's sake…" Seir muttered in frustration, running a hand through his hair. "The magic tools you create are actually sex toys?"

"Indeed," Maria confirmed with a nod, adding, "It's one of my hobbies and something I do in my free time."

"You have weird hobbies…" murmured Seir.

Maria simply rolled her eyes. "That's not the case… I am a Succubus, and as a Succubus, creating sex toys and magical sex props is a perfectly normal hobby. If anything, you're the weird one for feeling uncomfortable around those things."

'I guess she's right… I'm looking at this from the perspective of a former human. She's never been human—she was born a Succubus and has always been one…' Seir sighed. 'Even after living as a Devil for more than four years, it seems I still haven't fully adapted…'

With a weary glance at Maria, he muttered, "I'm a little scared to learn about your other hobbies…"

But Maria simply shook her head. "You might actually love them if you give them a try. But I suppose you're just not ready for them yet. Give it a few years… or perhaps a few decades, and who knows? We might end up sharing the same hobbies and indulging in them together." She paused, then added with a playful smile, "In fact, considering how curious and unrestrained the young ones often are, we might not even have to wait that long."

"Haha…" Seir chuckled at her argument, unsure of how to respond.

"Hmm…" Seeing that Seir was still feeling uncomfortable, Maria decided to stop teasing him.

"Anyway, Lord Seirios," she said, drawing his attention back to her. "I suppose I should return you to the library so you can finish the book you were reading, right?"

Seir nodded. "Yeah, that would be best… I do want to finish that book Thea gave me upon my request."

Just as he finished speaking, Maria stepped closer, knelt down, and suddenly wrapped her arms around him in a gentle hug, catching him off guard.

"Maria? What are you—?" Seir began, but she cut him off by whispering softly in his ear, her voice laced with sincerity.

"I'm sorry, Lord Seirios… It seems I took things too far today. I promise I won't do something like that again without your permission. If you ever need anything from me, please don't hesitate to ask."

Seir hesitated for a moment before nodding. "I… I shall keep your words in mind."

Maria smiled softly. "As an apology… please accept this."

Then, she placed a kiss on his cheek before teleporting him away from the room.

Now alone in the room, Maria collapsed onto her bed, burying her face in a pillow. With a wide smile, she softly murmured his name, "Lord Seirios… Hehe… I wonder how long you'll be able to resist your curiosity…"

.

.

Meanwhile, back in the library, Seir reappeared on the sofa and let out a deep sigh. "What was that…?"

Even though he was no longer in that room, it still lingered in his mind.

"Let's not think about it too much." Shaking his head, he decided not to dwell on it any longer and picked up his book, hoping to immerse himself in its pages.

But after an experience like that, reading about the tales of the Undead was the last thing he was in the mood for, "Fuck!"
