The Succubus' Situation
The succubus tribe has joined me as a vassal.
That's okay... so I asked Shamu and the others to explain the details.
First of all, as to why they followed me, it seems that it was to confirm whether I was a Demon King or not, and whether I was a stray or not.
Stray...... a Demon King who seems to suddenly manifest in someone, somewhere, and it is difficult to tell whether it is an enemy or an ally.
If you ask what is a Demon King other than a stray, it seems to be someone who becomes a Demon King through a special generational change, and most of them are born only to a certain race of people in the demon territory. And it is said that the Demon Kings of this demon territory are generally recognized as enemies by the succubus tribe.
Why are they hostile to the Demon Kings of the Demon Territory?
It dates back to the time of the conflict between the [Hero] and the [Demon King]. These succubus lived on semen as their staple food, so they lived mixed in with the human race. However, when the conflict between humans and demons intensified, a being called the Green Dragon King tried to suppress the conflict by building a vast forest between humans and demons. This is the secret story of the birth of the place that would later be called the [Demon Forest].
With the birth of the Demon Forest, humans and demons separated, but many demons were left behind in this human land. This is the ancestor of the current race called demi-humans. Of course, the demons left behind include the succubus and incubus tribes.
The difference between other demi-humans and the succubus race is that the succubus race sucks the energy of humans. This became a matter of life and death, and unlike other demi-humans, succubus were recognized as enemies and were targeted for subjugation. On the other hand, it seems that incubus were captured to be used by humans, abused and destroyed.
In order to escape from the oppression of the humans, the girls, who can fly, tried to escape to the demon territory in the east, but their attempts were blocked by the Demon Kings of the demon territory. The reason was that they were thought to be siding with the humans.
After that, it seems that the succubus has survived by going back and forth between the [Demon Forest] and the human territory to the west.
Therefore, the Demon King of the East is seen as an enemy by the succubus.
This time, because I am a stray and an incubus, a race that has been destroyed, and because I am friendly, they have decided to become my vassals.
"Originally, the Succubus and the Incubus were a pair of races... If they joined hands with each other, they should have been able to demonstrate power comparable to other demon races. However, unfortunately, the power of the Succubus tribe was not strong enough, and the Incubus tribe perished... it is a shameful feeling that has been passed down from generation to generation..."
Shamu, the current succubus chief, said with regret.
"But! Now, Light-sama has been reborn as an incubus! It's a miracle that God gave to me... to us! It's a blessing!"
For some reason, I feel like the succubus is increasingly treating me as a divinity...
Now that I understood their circumstances, I continued to ask questions and was surprised by a few things.
First of all, it seems that these girls are currently hiding among the humans for various purposes. That was the search and protection of the elves in the east.
It seems that while the Succubus tribe was hiding in the [Demon Forest], they were taken care of by the elves who had fled from the east.
In the [Demon Forest], they cannot obtain energy from humans, so they apparently sucked the energy from humanoid monsters such as orcs and goblins. However, the quality was poor, and it was the elves who shared their energy with the girls, who were always starving.
In order to repay the favor, they are currently searching for elves wandering in the [Demon Forest] and rescuing elves captured by the Empire.
"Does that include dark elves?"
I asked her casually.
"Of course. No way... Light-sama knows where they are!"
"Yeah... I protect the dark elves."
Shamu burst into tears at those words.
I explained the details of the situation and told her that they were currently living in my dungeon.
"What... how to say it... it's a miracle..."
After Shamu stopped crying, her eyes became even brighter as she stared at me...
For the time being, we proceeded with the conversation.
Then I heard one more important thing. it is……
"I... we are currently cooperating with a certain person. That person will eventually appear before Light-sama, but don't worry. That person is probably Light-sama's ally."
She blurted out something very strange, but the person will be on my side......?
"Why do you say it in such a vague way?"
"I'm sure you'll understand that when you two meet. So, look forward to it, but I... I can't tell you anything about it."
Shamu is smiling while saying this.
Yeah... what's that...
Even so... the current Shamu is so different from my first impression that it bothers me...
"Hey, Shamu. Can't you go back to your previous appearance?"
Shamu tilted her head a little.
"Yes... I can go back... but why?"
I told her my honest feelings.
"No, the current Shamu is nice, but I also liked the old Shamu... And to be honest, I just thought it would be easier to talk instead of using polite words."
When I said that, Shamu suddenly became embarrassed.
"But, I'm so rough! It's... embarrassing... I understand. I'll go back..."
At the end, Shamu answered in a low voice, and returned to her previous red hair, one eye, and brown skin.
"That's more like Shamu. From now on, use your appearance in the right places."
"Y-yeah..."
I made a rule for Shamu, who was still embarrassed, to stay by my side from now on.
For the time being, Shamu will live with us at this branch where we live, but I asked her to work at the store while we are attending the academy, and use her Goddess style during that time.
And when we act as adventurers, we have decided to act together with Shamu's heroic style.
Why? Because I like it. I like both Shamu's styles and I can't help it.
Thus, I got a succubus companion, Shamu.
