Chapter 62: +Four Humans And A Demon Walk Into A Brothel+
I mean, it's technically not just because I want to bully them, but... mm. It is also because I just wanna bully them. Well, maybe I'll let Fluffy and Julia rest, but the other two...
Now that I think about it, I feel like some of them might know me specifically there considering the whole, yenno, hierarchy among lust demons... Would that make things more or less safe? I mean, I could just charm them, but how am I gonna have fun watching them get slammed by 'cubi if I'm messing with their heads?
I can feel the Heroine throwing a couple of suspicious glances at me while I grin, carving through the slowly thinning crowds as we reach the more lustful areas.
It's not like the lustful areas are less popular or anything, it's just more risky to be around here for the average person. It's not like anyone is gonna stop you from getting charmed and dragged off by some cute guy ready to fuck your brains out.
Teehee, guilty as charged sometimes~...
Okay, I don't know why that cutesy joke made me feel so dirty but it did. I can't help but pout slightly at the Heroine's lack of reaction to that as the crowd becomes thinner and thinner, making the city look even more eerie as we go.
Thankfully, I know that in the lust district, if you wanna get a good fuck, you go to a place where there's no people. That means these people not only have standards, but they also have all their sex indoors, which means quality!
Not that outdoor sex is bad or anything, it's pretty fun to ride someone senseless in the middle of an alleyway, it's just not classy.
After arriving at our destination, we stand in the middle of a near barren and barely lit plaza, some lights flickering to reveal some signs near some buildings but that's it. ... Oh, right. These dummies probably can't actually see right now. Do they really trust me that much to lead them around?
I take a seat on some sort of bench, not minding the blood and or cum stains on it. "So! I've decided I'm gonna bully everyone here except Julia." My frank words draw a couple 'huh's from the group. I decided to bully Fluffy cus she seems fine, plus futanari are... Mff! So good.
... Not that I wanna be one! I still need to eventually remove one of these things, it's such a pain to have both!
I can feel the Heroine's gaze on me for a few moments through the darkness despite her obviously not being able to see very well before she just snickers slightly and nods. "Oh noooo, whatever shall I do." ... Thanks for playing along.
Ignoring the sour feeling at her not even being the slightest bit perturbed, I glance around at the brothels with a keen eye, examining the decor with interest. Chains hang from some, silk ribbons hang from others.
Aha, there. A sign listing out services and prices... Whooo boy that's a big sign. I like these places because they're usually just trying to drag out people with specific fetishes rather than a quick dicking.
Means they treat their clients fairly well, or at least used to whenever I was around. Yes, a succubus might sometimes buy time at a brothel, who wouldn't?!
Due to the inherent vulnerability of the sexual act, there are actually a few unwritten rules in place as well. Personally I think it's a bit weird that they discriminate against our powers specifically in these kinds of 'ohhhh you can't do thaaat.' Kind of thing.
I pout a bit while dragging the 'customers' to their destination. Basically, if you get paid for sex as a lust demon and you kill someone during said sex, and someone else finds out... Well, expect to get gangbanged and literally curbstomped.
It's not out of any sort of honor or revenge but more like a 'Know your place succubus' and 'Oh hey, I can steal her shit without her friends whining' kind of deal.
If I had to say something about it, I'd say people don't want lust demons to leave their position on the social ladder, but whatever. It's not my problem anymore, so I don't care!
If it sounds incredibly complicated and or nonsensical, welcome to how demons work. Sometimes that's just how you keep people you don't want in power out of power.
I push open the door and peer in, finding a cute impish gal running the registration book with a snide look on her face as she boredly stares at basically anything besides the door. Short with plump green skin and some short wings sprouting from her back that definitely seem like they shouldn't carry her weight.
She's not fat or anything, just plush considering her demure size. "Hey little darling~" I lean into the counter after entering, drawing no surprised look to me from her as she chews some sort of sweet gum in her mouth. "Not interested." ... Boo.
Sometimes you can get up to a five-finger discount in this place, if you catch my drift, but I guess that's not gonna fly here...
We stare at each other for several moments as I remain pouting in front of her for a bit, hoping she'll change her mind with a bit more of a cute tactic instead, but no dice. Dang it.
"I wanted to get someone to bully my slaves with me a bit, a bit of one on one with each one, so to speak~. ... Except for the good girl in the back, she's a sweetheart." I gesture to Julia with an open palm, causing her to blush in the flickering candlelight.
"Mmhmmm... So three bullies, one spoiling mm?" She says with a very monotone and uninterested voice, causing me to tilt my head a bit pondering. ... You know what, it IS the Heroine's money, I'm gonna hire someone to spoil Julia.
"All in the same room, the spoiling for the full session, each bully for a third of the session, different bully each time and a full night room rental aaaand... Mm." I lean in, whispering a bit to her, she doesn't seem to care at all and just accepts it, used to the secrecy.
Obviously the single room is just so we can all keep an eye on each other, it's still possible for someone to try and steal from someone else, especially when it comes to slaves, so keeping it all in the same room is a must.
A written receipt is passed over, indicating all expenses, something mostly employed by places that are owned by someone connected to, or are a Greed demon. Transparency in expenses is very much something they try to do to... I don't really get it, honestly. Economics was never my strong suit, okay?
You'd think if they'd make the paying process as hazy as possible they could skim as much as they want, but perhaps it's because people like me expect that they would do that, that they don't.
Shrugging, I look back to the Heroine with a smug grin. "Money, slave~." The Heroine rolls her eyes slightly at my words, though I can see the corners of her mouth poking up slightly as she seems to enjoy my little slave play with her. Perfect! You'll be seeing a lot more of this in the future.
+No, I just liked it because you're cute.+
The Heroine hands me some pocket change, leaving me to sort through it since I'm probably the only one who can read the note in the dim lighting anyway, though I could just read it out to her. Meh.
I toss out some coins onto the note, which then get counted out by her as I take the paper. I keep my eye on her for any funny business, but it doesn't seem like any occurs and she just beams a pair of keys at my face.
I grab them without much annoyance, giving the bratty gremlin a pat on the head before heading upstairs, reading the key fob to guide me.
... 204 would usually mean the second floor, right? Just to be safe I show the key to the heroine and shine it a bit into one of the few candle lights lining the corridor.
She rolls her eyes a bit with a smug laugh and pulls me along to a door marked 204. I got the hallway right, at least! I pout at her.
The room is pretty large but unlit, definitely seems fit for an orgy, though! Not that we're having one, though perhaps our little green host is making sure we're satisfied given the... Tip, I gave her.
I waggle my brow a bit while I look for some matches, not finding any. I mean, that's probably a given. Guess the worker will bring em.
Now that we're in private though... "Why is everything so fucking dark in this damn hellhole!" Killa grumps in annoyance, earning a response from Fluffy. "Yeah, it's kinda... Creepy, honestly."
"Uh, most demons have better night vision than humans, so... It'll be better during the day, probably." The Heroine says, trying to comfort the two.
I grab Julia's arm, eliciting a slight yelp of surprise from her. "It's me, calm down. I'm just bringing you to a chair so you don't have to keep standing up. There's literally nothing besides us in this room." I ignore her little panic and just plop her down into a comfy loveseat in the corner, letting her relax.
Since it's too dark for the others to see well, I guess... I begin helping the pack mules unload, bullying them both into a seat while Fluffy stands there in the dark, looking around blindly.
"... Hey, Ilvia, what uh... What's the plan here?" The Heroine says. I thought it was obvious!
"I'm gonna bully you all, and hired someone to help me? Doubles as a place to rest for the night." I grin slightly, giving them a reason they can't really refute otherwise.
I bring Fluffy over to the naughty corner with the Heroine and set her down with them, Fluffy shuddering slightly as she squirms in the darkness, trying to huddle closer to the Heroine.
"Awh, c'mon, it's not that creepy, jeez! I'll tell them to light the candles when they get in here, you little babies." But first... I grin evilly.
I grab a loose cord of rope from the wall, dragging it along the floor as I move over to the naughty corner, the sound reverberating through the corner, causing Fluffy to almost jump in terror at the unique sound.
"No." The Heroine curtly says. ... Ehhh? How'd you know?! How do you even know what the sound of rope being dragged across stone tile is?!
"I need to be able to move quickly just in case. ... And it's not that I don't trust you." I pout at her while I hold the rope in my hands, tugging at it in frustration.
"Fine, I'm just gonna tie up Killa, then!" I leap at her, ignoring her brief shout of 'Oh no the fuck you ain't!'
She claws at me in the darkness, but as it turns out, not being able to see makes the person able to see have a pretty solid advantage, I grin as I have her in a perfect hogtie after a couple short moments, laughing hysterically as she squirms on the couch in fits of anger.
"Hehehehehe..." I laugh evilly in the darkness, scooping her up by the knot and plopping her into the large double king sized bed in the center of the room. I push onto the bed a bit, feeling the plush and comfortable surface. Oh, so that little goblin did recognize me.
The bed sheets are high-thread count arachne silk, hand woven too because you can feel the lack of machinists fibers being set up near the edges.
... I take pride in my bed sheets at home, okay?! I huff to no one in particular, but given the fact these bed sheets are so insanely high quality they've marked me as some sort of VVVVVVIP.
Also the fact these bed sheets are so high quality means this place is actually pretty popular, hehehe... I've still got my keen eye for the lewdest places~.
"Mphhphphh." Oh right, she's still screaming into the sheets I dropped her in, I forgot I left her there.
+Ilvia, that was like 5 seconds ago.+
(The sheets are just that good, okay?)
So, that means I still have my reputation, at least! ... I think. Probably.
With that epiphany, there's a polite knock on the door.
+Whooooo will it beeeeee?+
(The Heroine's secret demon lover, catching us in the act!)
+That's you!+
(No, I'm the Heroine's public demon lover, there's a difference.)
Author's Note:
Going to be doing a double release today, was originally going to try and release it all in one chapter, but I spent WAY too long trying to figure out how to place it all into one without making it feel weird. So I just elected to write a little more and break it into two chapters so I wouldn't keep getting stuck and actually get to posting.
The other chapter will come out in a couple more hours, probably!
