The Punishment of A Demon General

Aaagh, I'm a terrible succubus! I don't know when I passed out, but what kind of succubus falls prey to a wizard's slime?!

+Oh, a bit of context here, I guess... Wizard's slimes are basically lust monsters that just keep you in a state of denial until you masturbate, and then it feeds off you masturbating until you die pretty much, hence the 'wizard' part.+

(Basically when they run out of energy, they go into hibernation for a while, collect energy, go find prey... If you can endure the denial long enough until they get tired enough to slither away and go hibernate again, then you'll survive. It's why Julia mentioned 'tying up', pretty much.)

+If you touch yourself though, you're boned. Figuratively and literally. Oh, and don't think friends can directly help you unless said friends are really smart like me.+

(I wouldn't really call you being OP 'smart'. Yeah, their habitats are pretty far from civilization, so if you are targeted by one, chances are it'll be really difficult to get back in the first place. If you can get back though, it's possible to get some help, so don't give up if your friends are fucking themselves to death just yet!)

+Just remember to gag them and get them out of there ASAP, depending on the numbers in your group, monsters may jump you after hearing the moans of your ally. If it's just you and them, unless you're really confident with carrying them, I'd recommend just leaving them behind. One dead person is better than two.+

I can feel the warmth of the heroine on my back as she hugs me from behind, only making the conflict in my heart even worse as she rests peacefully there.

I shiver and squirm a bit as I slowly slide my tail out from myself, gasping as I do, my insides feeling extremely sensitive and worn out from my aggressive treatment from... Last night? I can see light vaguely peeking through the tent now, so it's probably last night.

Honestly, my body feels like the way that slime looked, it feels like I should be melting all over the place right now. I can't even move with this evil Heroine hugging me! Why are you hugging me like that?! What are you doing being cute?!

I can do nothing but pout helplessly as I'm trapped in her cuddles, not wanting to wake her up. Obviously I wouldn't want to wake her up since she's annoying when she's awake. No other reason!

My thoughts are suddenly interrupted by a loud whistle, the heroine practically leaping out of the tent mere moments after it occurs, leaving me sitting there in shock as I watch the slightly flapping entrance of the tent.

... What just happened? I stare blankly for several moments before crawling out of the tent on slightly shaky limbs, nearly screaming at the sight of the giant monster boar in front of the camp.

I say in front of the camp, but it's completely pinned down dozens of meters away still, held fast by the heroine's magic.

The Heroine is seriously scary... That thing sits barely under the tree line in height and she took it down like it was barely a thing!

... Wait, I feel like I've seen one of those before... Was it hung up on Wrath's walls? I'm not sure. What I am sure about though is that the Heroine and Wrath are both crazy powerful monsters.

I can suddenly feel the Heroine pat me on the head... It's not like I've started recognizing her hand or anything, she's just got a really unique way of petting people, it's her fault for being stupid.

"Everything's good, no need to worry." I can only stare up blankly at her, still slightly shocked by the entire situation.

The petting suddenly pauses as she gets a thoughtful look on her face. "Oh, right. A sharp whistle like that from the current watch means immediate danger, or emergency. Just so you know for the future." ... Why do I need to know that for the future? You seriously think I could do anything to something crazy like that?

... Wait, maybe I could, I wonder if I could...

Could I charm it? Like, I've never really tried to charm bigger monsters before, because obviously I value my life, but if I have the Heroine here to help I could give it a shot. "Uh... Hey..." I chew my lips slightly, not sure where I should look when asking for something from someone.

If I could charm it then we could ride it the rest of the way, it'd cut off a lot of our travel time, and would prevent things like what happened last night happening again. I don't wanna keep walking with my legs feeling the way they are...

"Mm?" The heroine gives me a cute smile while she returns to petting me, leaving my chest feeling slightly conflicted and stuffy. I mean, I'm not really asking her for anything, right? This would benefit all of us!

If I can charm it, none of us will have to keep walking! That just happens to be especially good for me who has jelly legs right now. "... Could I try and charm that?" I pause briefly, trying to think of how to word it so she doesn't think I'm asking for it for myself.

"Mm, sure, go ahead." My thoughts are interrupted by the Heroine, leaving me staring blankly at her in confusion. Huh? That easy? I can't help but squint at her in suspicion, wondering why she allowed it so easily.

"We could probably ride it the rest of the way if you could do that, yeah? Though I'd probably have to use my own magic to keep us from falling off, but still." ... Once a mind reader, always a mind reader. I don't even know what to say this time, trying to just shrug it off and stand shakily.

"I'm not a mind reader, the plan is just obvious." You are so obviously are a mind reader, you evil Heroine! Despite my complaints in my head, the Heroine supports me as I stand up, keeping me from falling over as we slowly begin to approach the boar.

Julia and Fluffy start to look drowsy as we pass them, the short burst of adrenaline from being woken up so abruptly starting to wear off.

The boar looks like it's trying to thrash about and squeal in rage and fear as it lays there while we approach, unable to peep or move under the force of the Heroine's magic. ... Isn't this basically the same thing the Heroine thinks of me?

I can't help but stop and pout as I watch the monster squirm, reminded of all the times she had done this exact same thing to me with no remorse. I mean, I guess I can't expect much more from a human, but it's still...

I try to push down the indescribable feeling in my chest as the Heroine shoots a 'concerned' glance at me, ignoring both of them for the time being as I begin to prepare my most powerful charm.

I guess perks of being around the Heroine is that I won't die if this fails! I pump myself up with a cheerful thought, trying to keep myself motivated by it as I cast, my vision distorting slightly as the world takes on a slightly pink sheen.

I wish I could just suddenly turn to the Heroine and try to blast her with it to see if she could resist that one, but sadly once I've chosen a target when I start casting, I can't really change it... She's probably on alert for me doing that exact thing as well.

I should have probably done this when that whole debacle from Envy was going on as well, but I was feeling so emotional at the time I couldn't think straight at all. Ugh, Envy...

I wonder what they did after we let them go? They were unconscious when we released them, but... They did try to get me killed, was that ordered by someone? Or...

I shake my head slightly trying to clear my head from the thoughts. This is to get us there sooner, and to find out exactly what happened and why.

I should be sure to get my slaves out of there before dealing with all that first, though, just in case. So first stop, slaves. Second stop, uh... Well, the least likely to immediately kill me if something like that were ordered is Greed, since I owe him.

What should I do if that is the case, though? I mean, I'm basically just going to try and confirm if I've actually been abandoned or not, but if I confirm I have... What happens?

My thoughts are interrupted by a poke into my eyebrows once again, the Heroine pushing my head back with her finger. "You're doing the thing again. ... Also I'm pretty sure you stopped casting."

Oh, I did. I need to just stop thinking about this! Charm! Charm! Charm! I put everything I have into focusing on it, releasing all the charm I can get onto the boar in one big succublast. Don't judge me for the funny wording, Heroine! I know you can hear that, but it's funny!

The struggle of the boar almost immediately stops as the wave of charming magic hits it, a near infatuated look crossing its eyes as it gazes at me, almost like a puppy in love with it's owner.

Hah! I did it! Take that! I can't help but pump my arms and let out a faint cheer. The heroine watching me do this with a smile on her face which quickly causes me to stop, my cheeks burning.

"How long will that last?" The Heroine asks, eliciting a shrug from me. I really don't have any idea, reapplications of charms when you think they're about to wear off are a must when you can, it's just a normal part of life as succubi.

"Hm, alright, well it should be fine as long as I keep my eye on it anyway..." She says, beginning to guide me back to camp, her arm still around my waist in a supportive hug.

"What's the... plan with that?" Killa asks as we return, chilling by the fire with a poking stick.

"I'll take your spot early, so you go and rest. Once everyone wakes up, we'll load everything onto it and get moving on it instead." She says confidently, brooking no denial.

Killa furrows her brow a bit, looking a little bit concerned at the Heroine. After several moments of this she just decides to shrug before tossing her stick into the fire, heading into her tent with a wave to the Heroine, heading to take a nap.

You implied we were going to be waiting here until everyone wakes up, but...

Why am I sitting in your lap?!

+Cus you're cute.+

(You can't just say that whenever I do anything!)

+Yes, I can.+

(That's not how that works!)

+You're being cute right now.+

(You... You... Ugh.)
