Mercenary of Lust

"Noir, why do you always call me 'my princess’?" Lilac was still stuck in the body of Kai. Naturally, Noir had to lead her around to avoid any type of unnecessary situation.

After spending an entire day with Rhyne, she was on the way back to the agency. Lilac was already missing her time with Rhyne. And she knew that even if Rhyne didn't show it on her face, she still liked Lilac, or Kai, whose body Lilac was using.

“My princess, I am not from the dimension that you call ‘Earth.’”

“Not from earth? Where are you from?” Lilac had never imagined that someone from another world would be so close to her.

Noir didn’t answer her question. She simply stopped the car at the side of the road. She looked at Lilac, saying, “My princess, you have to leave."

"Huh!"

"The queen is calling for you."

"Another mission?" Lilac frowned. She was intrigued by all the other dimensions and the possibilities they held. However, she liked to be in Kai's body. To be precise, she likes having a male organ. 

"I don't know, my princess," Noir said.

"What will happen to this body?"

"He will live normally."

"I mean, what will happen to all the memories I made?"

"He will have it. But it would be broken. He will think he was drunk."

"Oh!" Lilac nodded, feeling a little nauseous. She quickly followed up with, "Tell Erin to ask Rhyne for 5 million dollars. In addition, there is a fee for acting."

From Lilac's reaction, Noir had thought that Lilac liked Rhyne a lot. Naturally, Lilac's words surprised her a little. She couldn't help asking, "will she pay?"

"She will." A smile appeared on Kai's face, and he fainted.

When Lilac regained consciousness, she found herself in front of Scarlett. Lilac wasn't sure whether Scarlett frowned after she came here or she was frowning before she came here.

‘Looks like she was becoming more irritated after I had awakened.’ At least in her memories, she was a caring one.

“It is because you are an idiot.” 

Lilac was surprised for a moment but soon remembered that anything was possible in this world. So, she chose to remain silent.

“That is not even a true tail,” Scarlett said as she saw the cattail behind Lilac. She took a deep breath, asking, “Why do you think you do mission?”

Lilac shuddered her shoulder. After all, she didn’t know. Still, she guessed, “To get something we want?”

“And what do we want?”

This time she really had no answer to it. Scarlett sighed, answering, “It’s mana. Earth didn’t have a lot of mana. And we need mana to live.”

“So why don’t we go to live in one of those dimensions?”

“Because we are the embodiment of the evil. An evil that is born in every living soul's heart.”

“Are you telling me that we know we are evil and choose to give up on our bare necessities for the greater good?” Lilac felt she had overlooked some crucial details. “Doesn’t that make us the good guys?”

Although Scarlett didn’t want to, she couldn’t stop the edge of her lips from curving up. “You don't need to learn about it now.” She said.

“How do we get mana?” 

Scarlett glared at her for a moment. Then she responded, "it can be a skill or essence. Receiving mana directly during your stay in the dimension is also an option."

“Okay.” 

“But that is not the only way.” Scarlett wasn’t happy with her attitude, but she continued to explain, “The soul of a living being contains the most mana. And as long as you absorb it, you will be able to awaken your natural form.”

“Wouldn’t absorbing the mana out of the soul would kill it?”

“Do you have the luxury to think about it?” Scarlett wasn’t willing to give Lilac any chance to negotiate.

However, Lilac wasn’t convinced. So Scarlett had to explain more, “Absorbing mana out of the soul won’t kill it. If you want, you can return the soul the cycle of reincarnation of that world, or even bring it to this world.”

“Okay.” Lilac nodded, inquiring, “Is this another type of mission?”

“No. We can’t receive a soul as compensation. That is illegal.”

“Unless…” Lilac was sure that Scarlett wasn’t calm enough to explain something unnecessary. 

“It is illegal to sell another living soul as a transaction. However, if someone is willing to part with its soul, then…”

“And you had found someone who is willing.” Lilac didn’t need Scarlett to explain everything to her. But she couldn’t stop herself from asking, “did you threaten it?”

As expected, Scarlett had no intention of having some useless chatter. “This one has a strong vassal. And they have a high amount of lust. So their mana would be compatible with you.”

“What do I have to do?” 

“Ask it yourself.” And Scarlett snapped her finger. 

Lilac didn’t lose consciousness. However, she felt that her consciousness got sucked towards something. And, there was nothing she could stop herself from moving in that direction. 

When her body stabilized, she was standing in a dark room. Yet, she could see everything. The one in front of her couldn’t even be called a woman. She was more suited to be called a girl. 

Her height wasn’t even 140 cm. She was wearing a medieval-style long-sleeve gown that was designed for a child. The fluffy skirt-type lower part of the dress covered far more area than she could traverse in one step.

However, two things surprised her more. First was her boob. Her body was that of a child, but her breasts were much larger than those of much larger women.

However, it wasn’t so big that it would feel odd.

And the other thing was her ear. She had never seen anything like the sharp pointy ear before. She remembered a race like that in fantasy, but she couldn't recall the name.

“Are you the devil?” The girl asked in a crispy voice. Although she tried to appear serious, Lilac couldn’t help smiling as she looked at her.

“What is your name?”

The girl hesitated but answered nonetheless, “Ronda.”

“So Ronda, why did you call me a demon?”

Ronda pointed at her feet, explaining, “didn’t you appear from the demon summoning circle?” 

Ronda waited for Lilac to respond. But when she didn’t, Ronda asked, “Aren’t you a demon?”

Looking at her anxious eyes, Lilac couldn’t say ‘no.’ 

“You can call me a demon, Demon of lust.” She lied, unaware that what she had just told Ronda was the truth.

“Then can you make my wish come true?”

“I can, but what can I get in return?”

“What do you want?” her anxiousness returned.

Remembering that she could take the soul back to the Earth, Lilac said, “I want you.”

“Me?” She didn't know what Lilac was talking about, but she did say, "I'm going to die."

“Why?”

“The book said, I have to die if I summon a demon.” However, there wasn’t even a tinge of sadness in her eyes as she said, “They will kill me.”

Lilac couldn't help but wonder what had compelled her to summon a demon, even though she knew it meant death. 

“How come you summoned a demon? Didn't you have something you wanted to do? Do you not have a dream?”

“I…” She thought for a moment, then answered truthfully. “I want to live a happy life. I don’t want to be a princess.”

‘Princess?’ Lilac couldn't help but wonder why she kept getting entangled with Princesses.

She wanted to ask what Ronda wanted. But she remembered the name of the race. She couldn’t help asking, “Are you an elf?”

Ronda nodded, explaining, “I am futanari elf princess.”
