Novel Full Chapter 708 708 Rail's Roomie
The Succubus gave Wolfe a greedy smile. “We were roommates all through finishing school. You wouldn’t believe the amount of gossip and drama that we got into together. Well, maybe you might, I heard that Witches can be almost as dramatic as a teenage succubus.”
Wolfe smiled back at her. “Witches can be dramatic, but I’ve seen how dramatic full-grown Succubi can get, and I’m not sure that the Witches can stand up in that competition.”
“How did you get her to go with you? For like forever, she was all [I’m going to prove that a succubus doesn’t need to use sexual favours to get ahead in the workplace] and now look at her, in the bedroom of a Magi Patriarch.”
The woman’s tone was entirely too smug for Wolfe’s taste. Even if they were roommates, they might not have been friends.
“Funny story that. She didn’t get the position because she was sharing my bed, she got the position first, because she was the top investigator available, and the rest came after. You might not be aware, but Magi have various stamina enhancing magics available to us, and even a Succubus has a hard time keeping up. Using the body to influence us is generally considered to be a lost cause.” Wolfe explained.
That didn’t really deter the succubus at all, it only intrigued her to find out that there was someone other than an incubus that might possibly keep up with her species in bed.
As they were talking, Dana came up behind Wolfe and wrapped him in a possessive hug from behind.
“Mister Wolfe, who might this be? Are we not enough for you anymore?” She asked, deliberately loud enough that this new arrival would hear her.
Wolfe decided to play along. “How could that be true? This is an old roommate of Rail’s, come to visit. Do you know where she is? We could all get together for a meal now that the excitement is over.”
Dana looked suspicious, but the reason she had come looking for Wolfe in the first place was to get something to eat, both in the physical and metaphysical sense of the word.
“Alright, I think that we can find Rail soon enough. Everyone was going to gather at the restaurant on the upper level of the spire, so she should be there.”
Then she turned to the other Succubus. “I’m sorry, I didn’t catch your name. Would you like to join us and catch up with your old friend?”
“I would be delighted, Princess Dana. My name is Rue Commode, and it is an honour to make your acquaintance. It has been so long since we left finishing school, and I would love to know if my lovely roommate has finally broken through to Rank Three.” She replied.
Dana gave the young woman a confused look. She clearly knew nothing about Rail except that she was here, but it would be fun to hear the stories about how Rail was slow to break through because she didn’t want to sleep her way to the top.
The situation was reversed now, as Rue was only a level four Demon, while Rail had just reached level six. What had happened between school and now was still a mystery to Wolfe, but hearing childhood stories could often be extremely entertaining.
So, he was in a great mood as he made his way up the spire to meet the others, right until he saw the disgusted look on Rail’s face when she saw his companion, who was looking at the succubus in a skirt suit in shock.
“Rail, we ran into your old finishing school roommate. Do you mind if she joins us?” Wolfe asked.
“Of course not. It is so good to see you again, Rue. I see that you managed to land a reliable job as a personal assistant to one of the top businessmen and get assigned here into this world. That is truly remarkable, only one in a thousand can get a job like that.” Rail greeted them.
That would explain what the other succubus was doing here in town, she was on a trip with her boss, who was visiting Forest Grove for the holidays, and was either here as an envoy, or to oversee a section of territory somewhere in the world.
With the festival going on, plenty of smaller bosses had returned to the portal location to socialize instead of remaining in their cities. But Rail was right, getting a personal assistant gig like that couldn’t be easy. There were a lot of Rank Three and Rank Four Demons who would literally kill to have those jobs.
“Rail, what a joy it is to see you again. You’ve grown up into a fine Demoness. I see that you’re still wearing the same strange fashion, but it suits you.” Rue replied.
By succubus standards, the reverse bunny suit that she was wearing was very fashionable, but Rail’s outfit blended in with the locals much more smoothly. The others in the restaurant kept looking at Rue like she was a performer of some sort that forgot to change her outfit.
“It is quite normal for an investigator. I am here on official business, after all, assigned by the Queen herself to keep an eye on the Noxus Patriarch. It might not be the most glamorous of assignments, but unlike the Finishing School, the company is quite outstanding.”
There was definitely a verbal sparring battle ramping up at the table, and Wolfe found himself completely unwilling to stop it. The other party had come here specifically to meet with Rail, so she should have been prepared for what she would find.
“You know, I always thought that you were going to go into politics, something that would make real money so you could stop wearing off – brand outfits, but I suppose that wasn’t in the cards for you, no matter how powerful you became.” Rue sighed, as if it were personally painful for her to see.
“As I recall, you always did spend an inordinate amount of money on clothing when it spent all its time on other people’s floors. You would think that a bit of frugality might have gone a long way, since you weren’t intending on wearing it anyhow.” Rail countered.
“Coming from the only girl in the entire school to fail intermediate succubus skills for a lack of experience, I’m not sure whether that is sound advice.”
Wolfe looked at Rail. “Intermediate Succubus Skills?”
“You don’t think that we’re just born this good, do you? It takes a lot of training and effort to master the art of a succubus. It’s a good thing that the witches only get a little jealous, or my skills might get rusty. A lot has changed since my school days.” Rail replied.
Nimue took a seat directly on Wolfe’s lap and looked between the two succubi. “Are you done bickering with each other? I’m getting hungry.”
Wolfe laughed and patted her on the head, while Cassie gestured for the serving staff to bring over the food.
“That’s enough fighting at the table, you can argue out your old grievances after dinner. Now, let’s eat.” She insisted, her violet eyes sparkling with overflowing magical power.
“Yes, Miss Cassie. Sorry for the trouble.”
