Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha - Volume Ex - Chapter 2.3

3

At Maria’s confident declaration in the living room,

“…Seriously, what’s with all the fuss now?”

Kurumi who just washed her hair in the bath appeared exasperated.

It’s the ero loli succubus—of course it’s going to be something outlandish.

…It’s good she had gone into the bath earlier.

With Mio and Yuki tying the master-servant contract with Basara, doing lewd things to submit to him, and having been shown that through videos Maria recorded, in order to be able to catch up to them, Maria had been doing lewd things to Kurumi too, but as expected one needs a break from that.

Without a doubt, that ero loli succubus would use clever words to get all of them to do lewd things, just like she had done with Kurumi.

However, despite it being outlandish, one cannot deny that it’s true that they couldn’t have gone through the dangers they had faced without the master-servant contract, and how deepening the bond of the master-servant contract is one way to ensure their battle powers would increase, giving them an advantage against their increasingly stronger enemies.

The problem is that Basara’s life may be at risk—with that, if they want Kurumi to help, even if she says she doesn’t like it, she can’t completely say no.

She wouldn’t let her sister Yuki or her childhood friend Basara die after all.

…Besides that.

Even though she’s the only daughter of the previous demon lord, within just a few days of living with her, Kurumi understood Mio has no plan to bring harm unto this world.

…She’s a normal girl isn’t she. 

Bright and cute, lively and a kind girl—that’s how Kurumi perceived Mio. If they had met normally, they would certainly get along.

And it’s the same for Maria—even if she thinks the perverted actions are a bit much. Because of that Basara wants to protect them, and even Yuki went against the orders of the hero clan and fought by Basara’s side against Takashi.

Mio had taken all sorts of factors into consideration towards Kurumi who began living with them. Since she was a member of the hero clan, Mio figured she would hold some reservations towards the daughter of the previous demon lord, Mio had tried striking up conversations… Though to say, Kurumi had been rude towards her.

…But.

Kurumi realized that because of her, the mood in the Toujou household had become cold.

Moreover, like how Yuki said she wanted to protect what’s important to Basara—It was the same for Kurumi. She wants to protect what’s important to Basara and Yuki. However the mood Kurumi created doesn’t help that, in fact it has the opposite of the desired effect. “Is she going to keep on being obstinate?”

Murmuring that, Kurumi started to wash the shampoo out her hair.

And then—she used a conditioner rinse.

Maria can be rather forceful, but Kurumi and Maria are able to talk things out. With that said, maybe she should be able to be less rude with Mio who’s so conscious of her. The village’s orders are absolute, and she doesn’t plan to go against that.

However,

“But I should be able to interact with her normally… I’ll talk to Onee and Basara about this later”

In order to talk normally with Mio, she may need some sort of intervention between them.

With a nod, Kurumi left the conditioner in her hair, and using body soap on a washcloth, she began washing her entire body.

It was at that time—all of a sudden, there was a ringing to her and her body started getting hot.

“What’s this… I’m feeling, dizzy…?”

She thought it’s probably best for her to get up as soon as possible. Kurumi reached out to the shower head so that she could wash off both conditioner and bodywash, but she dropped the shower head. No good, she thought while picking it up.

And at that point,

“E, eh…?”

Her vision started spinning around, and she fell on the bathroom floor.

She could no longer get up.

..What should I do… 

Kurumi thought about calling out to Mio and Maria in the living room—in the event things remained as is.

However,

“…”

In the back of her head she considered whether or not it’s good to give an opening to demons like Mio and Maria, and she subconsciously gulped down her words. Nevertheless, it’s probably bad for her to keep going like this—just as that uneasiness was welling up in her.

“…Hey Kurumi-chan, sorry to interrupt you while you’re showering. Can I talk to you for a bit?”

From the bathroom door - someone was calling out to her from the changing room.

It was Mio, speaking to her in a worried voice.

“Have you washed your body? It’s just that Maria… she put an aphrodisiac in the body soap hoping it’d be used by Basara”

“Could it be—?!”

As Kurumi let out her voice, Mio continued speaking from beyond the door.

“I’m sorry, it’s in the red bottle I think… Did you use it?”

With that, Kurumi discovered the reason why she’s in the state she’s in.

“Ah no~ I’m so sorry… I forgot to tell Kurumi-san”

Perhaps while rubbing the back of her neck, Maria’s voice could be heard.

…T-this ero loli succubus…! 

She suddenly wanted to kill Maria, but she’s no longer in a state to do that.

She’s not dizzy; it’s not a migraine; she now understood that it’s the aphrodisiac effect, and slowly, her body’s feverish state transformed into sweet pleasure.

“No… mm, haah…”

Kurumi no longer able to hold herself back, let out sweet moans.

She could no longer make excuses for herself.

Kurumi was acting strangely beyond the door. Having observed that, Mio quickly took action.

“Sorry Kurumi-chan—I’m going to open the door”

With that said, she opened the door, and saw exactly what she was expecting.

Kurumi, flushed red having fallen to the floor.

“Mm… Mio”

The eyes of the girl calling out to her between moans, were filled with sweet heat.

Up until this point, Kurumi has been calling Mio “hey” or you” So Mio was happy for Kurumi to call her by name… but this was no time for celebration. So Mio quickly turned to the ero loli succubus next to her, lifting her up.

“How do you plan to fix this! Kurumi-chan is completely exhausted!”

“Guaaah, Mio-sama, I’m going to fall… Please calm down…”

Maria was frantically waving her arms, as Mio placed her down.

“At the heart of it, this is the same effect as when the curse of the master-servant contract activates for you. If you relieve her then it’s fine”

“Even if you say that, Basara is still out shopping”

Furthermore, he had said that he’d be going to the 100 yen shop after the supermarket too. Even if they call his cell phone, it’d take a while for him to get back. Looking at Kurumi’s state, time is not a luxury they have. They have to help her quickly.

With that said,

“Aah, don’t worry about that. This isn’t the curse of the master-servant contract. And it’s also different from the succubus baptism based on Yuki-san’s master-servant contract. Which means anyone can relieve her”

“By Anyone, when you say that… you mean”

“Yes—currently there’s me or Mio-sama, or perhaps both of us”

“…You’re kidding right?”

Maria’s words made Mio feel faint. But there’s no time for hesitation. They had to take responsibility for Maria causing this incident.

..But.

Mio has already seen Kurumi in a similar state—if she only relies on Maria, and takes a step back, there sure would be issues in the future. There’s no doubt that Kurumi who’s already easily embarrassed will have further reason not to accept Mio. Taking the future into consideration, that’s something she would like to avoid. So that being said, leaving Kurumi to Maria wouldn’t be the right choice. If that’s the case then,

“…I’m the only one who can do anything about this”

With a sigh, Mio began taking off her clothes.

“Truly, it would be best if you do it Mio-sama. Because I’ve spent time with Kurumi while you’re away at school, we have become close friends. So this could help deepen the relationship between the two of you?”

“I would’ve liked a more normal way…”

Mio said in a bitter tone, with her underwear on, perhaps thinking she could be blamed for it.

“…Hah… I’m sorry, Mio… Mm”

Kurumi apologized with a face that looks as if it was about to cry, thus, Mio panicked.

“Aah, it’s not like that Kurumi-chan—the fault is all with this idiot”

She said, glaring at Maria as she takes off her bra.

“Oh no. If it’s about responsibility, I would make sure that I would help Kurumi-san with my excellent succubus skill”

Mio threw her panties at Maria’s fake innocent face.

And then, she stepped into the bathroom.

“…”

Kurumi, from on the floor, anxiously looked up at Mio.

It’s natural—the night she arrived at the Toujou household, Kurumi had gotten a succubus baptism from Maria, but at that time it was Basara and Yuki who she knew well helping her through it.

But Mio is likely someone she’s most distant to.

…At this rate. 

Even if Mio helps her, Kurumi might still close off her heart to her.

That’s why Mio must find a way to avoid that—suddenly, she thought of something.

“—“

She took the red bottle of soap, opening the lid and letting it spill to her hands, then she rubbed it all over her body. The amount was roughly the same as she would use when she’s bathing.

This way, then it wouldn’t be much different from what Kurumi had used.

“…?”

Kurumi was surprised with wide eyes.

“If it’s like this, I’ll be just like you. That way you’d be less embarrassed right? Besides, this way then I won’t just be helping you. I’d also need help… mmm”

As she talks, Maria’s body soap goes through Mio’s skin, and in just a moment she ends up in an aroused state. With that Kurumi, at Mio’s words and action,

Maria’s body soap seeped into Mio’s skin as she talked; and it only took a moment for her to end up in an aroused state.

“M…Mioo…”

While letting out tears, Kurumi called out to Mio—So Mio bent down next to her, embracing her and telling her everything would be okay.

And with that, without hiding her embarrassment, she said,

“…I don’t want anyone to feel indebted, so Kurumi-chan, come help me too”
