Chapter 440: Sheila, the White-Haired Succubus Loli

With Zest’s surrender, the remaining members of Zolgear’s retinue were all slaughtered by Takumi as well.

Blazing flames swept over them, burning the demons to ash.

As for Zolgear, in the short time that had passed, Mio had already blasted him with so much magic that there was hardly a patch of intact flesh left on his body.

In truth, Mio hadn’t even attacked him that many times.

Takumi had simply been far too ruthless from the start. He had opened by blowing through all five of Zolgear’s limbs with light spears, then pierced straight through his throat.

Even if Mio had done absolutely nothing, Zolgear wouldn’t have looked much different from a fish roasting on an iron griddle.

His body was already sizzling and dripping with grease, roasted so badly that he barely looked human anymore.

After finally venting the anger and resentment bottled up inside her, Mio burst into tears and threw herself into Takumi’s arms.

“Onii-chan~~ I finally avenged Mom and Dad! I don’t want to see him ever again. I never want to see him again.”

“You won’t, Mio.”

Feeling Mio’s enormous, springy softness pressed against him, Takumi gently stroked her back to comfort her.

Then he looked toward Zolgear, who had already been reduced to something that deserved a mosaic censor, and sent him directly into [Pseudo-Hell] with a wave of his hand.

Takumi genuinely hadn’t killed him.

He had thrown Zolgear, body and all, straight into [Pseudo-Hell].

As the creator of [Pseudo-Hell], Takumi simply added an [Immortality] setting to Zolgear.

As long as he remained inside [Pseudo-Hell], even if Zolgear were torn into countless pieces, he would never truly die. His body would reassemble itself only to the bare minimum necessary, leaving him permanently in that mosaic-worthy state as he cycled through endless suffering.

The instant Zolgear disappeared, something strange happened in the image of Sheila’s prison cell that he had projected earlier.

Apparently, Zolgear had linked some of the prison’s mechanisms to his own existence.

Now that Zolgear had vanished from the world, this world had effectively judged him as [Dead].

Countless violet spheres of electricity suddenly appeared throughout the cell imprisoning Sheila.

Sheila seemed to have no idea what was happening and immediately panicked.

Then her body rapidly swelled like a balloon before bursting apart, blood spraying everywhere as she exploded into chunks of flesh.

“Mom…”

Maria stared blankly at the scene, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

At that moment, she didn’t even have the strength left to remain standing. The despair of witnessing her family die before her eyes extinguished the final bit of strength she had left.

“Damn that amusement freak… Stop despairing already, Maria. Your mother isn’t dead. She’s perfectly fine.”

Takumi watched the scene speechlessly before reminding her.

Maria raised her head in a daze.

Hope immediately returned to her eyes, and she rushed forward to clutch Takumi’s sleeve tightly.

“My mom isn’t dead? Really!?”

Her rational mind told her otherwise, but emotionally—and because of how much she trusted Takumi—she desperately wanted to believe him.

Takumi patiently explained, “Have you ever considered the possibility that your mother is actually pretty damn strong?”

“My mom is… strong?”

Maria looked even more confused.

She had never known her mother was powerful.

Seeing her clueless expression, Takumi asked bluntly, “Then let me ask you this. How many succubi are there in the Underworld?”

“Uh… Mom raised me by herself, and I’ve never really met any other succubi. She was also the one who taught me succubus magic, the improved master-servant contract, and everything else…”

Maria muttered quietly before gradually realizing that something didn’t add up.

Logically speaking, if succubi were numerous enough to be called an entire race, there shouldn’t be so few of them around.

Seeing that Maria had finally caught on, Takumi continued in a meaningful tone.

“Your succubus race is probably one of the oldest demonic races. Your mother may not necessarily be the progenitor of all succubi, but she’s definitely from one of the earliest generations.”

“And on top of that, she’s an amusement freak. Your personality is obviously inherited straight from her.”

Takumi paused before turning his head toward an apparently empty spot beside him.

“So… is it really that much fun watching your own daughter panic and worry about you?”

Snap!

He snapped his fingers, and ripples spread through the space in front of him.

A petite succubus who had been hiding in the shadows and secretly watching everything suddenly dropped out of midair.

Her face bore a ninety-percent resemblance to Maria’s, though her body was even smaller and cuter.

Dressed in a pure-white one-piece dress, Sheila looked almost exactly like Maria’s little sister.

Yet despite her even more youthful appearance, waves of seductive charm naturally radiated from her body, stirring an almost instinctively aggressive impulse in anyone who looked at her.

Sheila herself hadn’t even realized what had happened before Takumi beckoned with one hand and pulled her straight into his arms.

Soft, fragrant Sheila immediately buried her head against him like an embarrassed little girl.

“Mmm~~ I got caught.”

A young, delicate voice came from her lips.

Sure enough, whether it was her figure, appearance, or voice, she looked far more like Maria’s little sister than her mother!

The instant Maria saw her mother appear alive and well, overwhelming joy flooded across her face.

“Mom! You’re alive!!”

But after that initial burst of happiness, Maria finally realized what this meant.

Anger flared in her eyes.

“Mom! Does that mean you were doing all of this on purpose!?”

“Ara ara~ It’s not every day I get captured, you know. Of course I had to experience something like this at least once.”

Sheila no longer bothered hiding the truth. Instead, she cheerfully admitted it and even took out a video camera, waving it in her hand.

“And the way you were acting like such a little idiot because you were worried about me was absolutely adorable~ I recorded the whole thing in secret. Want to watch?”

“Ahhh!!! Mom, how could you do that!? Delete it! Delete it right now!!”

Furious and embarrassed, Maria jumped up and tried to snatch the camera away.

But Sheila took full advantage of the fact that Takumi was holding her, curling herself up and clutching the camera tightly against her chest.

The situation instantly turned into two white-haired succubus “lo[li]s” squabbling right in front of Takumi.

They really were cut from the exact same mold!!

Every woman watching had the exact same thought.

The corner of Mio’s mouth twitched, though deep down she felt immensely satisfied.

Maria was always such a menace to everyone else. Now that her own mother had pulled one over on her, it was incredibly cathartic to watch!

Bonk! Bonk! Bonk!!

In the end, Takumi couldn’t take it anymore.

Whether the two white-haired succubi were doing it deliberately or not, all their rubbing and squirming against him was steadily making his blood run hotter.

If there hadn’t been so many people around, Takumi would have been tempted to have his way with both of them.

After flicking them on the forehead three times between the two of them, they finally settled down.

Sheila, who had taken two of those forehead flicks herself, looked up at Takumi with tear-filled eyes.

“Uu~~ I’m supposed to be your mother-in-law. Don’t be so violent with me.”

“I’ve never seen a mother-in-law act spoiled while sitting in her son-in-law’s arms.”

Takumi rolled his eyes and told her to behave.

Seeing how serious he looked, Sheila immediately stopped crying. Her expression changed so quickly it was almost impressive.

She puffed out her cheeks and put on an adorably sulky expression.

“You’re no fun at all~”

“Mom!!!”

Seeing her own mother acting spoiled with Takumi, Maria’s face turned bright red as she immediately grabbed Sheila and dragged her behind herself.

Maria had a very bad feeling that if she allowed this to continue, her mother might end up lying in her bedroom too before another day had even passed!
