“A s-succubus?”
When Kazuki repeated her statement while seated on the edge of the bed, Karen
blushed a bit and nodded while seated next to him. She had wings on her back,
pointed ears, and a long tail growing from near her tailbone. With the
swimsuit, it looked like some kind of cosplay, but this was not special makeup
or accessories and the wings and tail were clearly growing from her body.
“I know you will find it hard to believe,
but it’s true. …Each year, a few of us will work here. We come from a world
that exists alongside this one…a demon world, I guess you could call it.”
She went on to explain that this was her
second year in this world, so she had been in contact with human culture enough
to find it a bit embarrassing to call her home a demon world. Whatever the
case, he kind of had to believe her after seeing the wings and tail for
himself. That meant there really was somewhere like a demon world where a bunch
of succubi lived.
“But why would succubi leave their world to
come to our-…wait, it can’t be!”
Stories with this sort of setting were often about an invasion from another
world, but Karen must have sensed his alarm because she quickly waved her hands
to deny it.
“N-n-no! Um…It is true our world is facing
a number of problems…and we are visiting here to resolve them. But…”
“What kind of problems? And how are you
resolving them…?”
He was not sure if he should ask, but she seemed to think it made sense to
explain it all now that he had seen her true form. She nodded and answered him.
“To put it simply, we are working away from
home.”
