The adorable sound of Maria's singing soothes my weary brain as I slog through paperwork.
Since these documents rarely need to be submitted, it would've been fine to fill them out haphazardly; that was originally my intention anyway. However, sadly enough, perhaps this is just the nature of being Japanese—I can't help feeling uncomfortable if I don't approach even such tasks with at least some level of seriousness.
Still, it gives me time to think, so I appreciate the opportunity, really.
Lately, anyone could see how visibly cheerful Maria has become.
It's been about three weeks since she first sucked my pernis. Naturally, we indulge in erotic activities every day, but the initial frenzy lasted only around one week.
Her sexual desires, amplified by hypnosis, never subside—rather, they continue to intensify—but Maria seems to be finding ways to manage them better now. As a result, her work as a Sister has faced fewer disruptions.
Once we start, she still gets terribly worked up, and some days she'll even come on to me during daylight hours, but for the most part, things have settled down.
Now that Maria has discovered this pleasure, she's eager to indulge herself completely—and since it's with someone she likes, enjoying these acts comes naturally. It makes sense why she's always so cheerful, humming happily all day long.
But she isn't the only one feeling good.
Every night I get to engage in erotic activities with a beautiful, charming young woman, not to mention release my seed through her lovely blow jobs. Truly, there is no better life.
Since I can relieve myself regularly, I've been able to resist succumbing to my sexual urges. If I had any complaint at all, it would be the limited variety of services Maria provides. After all, her knowledge was gleaned from just one erotic book, so there aren't many options available to us. Still, I couldn't exactly instruct her myself, though admittedly, that would be a rather luxurious problem to have.
That said, this probably won't last much longer.
If my guess is right, it should be about time...
"Kukééé!"
As a bizarre screech loud enough to rattle the windows assails me, I chuckle and set down my pen.
Money can buy you time.
A journey that would take nearly two months by land could be accomplished in just one month round-trip via messenger riding atop a giant bird at supersonic speeds. You have to spend money when it counts.
When I received the package big enough for both arms to carry, I ignored Maria as she curiously approached and dashed straight to my room. There was no need to check what was inside; all I cared about was making sure she saw how hurriedly I handled it.
Still, since she might come poking around later, I opened the parcel anyway. The contents were...just what I'd expect from my childhood friend, who's known me since we were kids. She always knows exactly what I want.
I stash the items away in my desk with its key lock and read through the letter that came attached...
"...So infuriating!"
Well, I suppose this is what I deserve—I did engineer it myself—but I can't help picturing the guy who wrote this pointing at me and laughing uproariously.
It's fine, though... My cheap pride is expendable. If getting laughed at means Maria will be mine, it'll be totally worth it. Still, if I ever see him again, I'm going to punch him for real.
To eliminate any evidence, I burn the letter.
Something like that just leaves a stain on my reputation anyway. Best to forget the fact that a letter penned by me has fallen into the hands of my childhood friend.
I fill a small bottle with holy water and screw the cap back on tightly.
All right, time to go.
This will be our final battle.
I tried to psych myself up as I called out for my friend:
"Sister Maria!"
"Yes—?" she replied hastily, jumping at the sound of my voice. Good, good; it seems she was worried about me and came to check on how I was doing. What a sweet girl.
"Oh, Sister Maria... This should solve everything! You've endured so much, haven't you?"
"Um... Excuse me?"
Maria couldn't hide her confusion at my unusually high spirits.
Taking her by surprise, I grabbed her hand and placed the vial containing the holy water inside.
"I consulted with a friend back in the royal capital about your Succubus affliction. Of course, I didn't give any specific details about you. And this is what they sent me."
"A medicine...?"
"Yes, indeed. It's a potion that will free you from the Succubus!"
"...!"
Maria's complexion began to change midway through my explanation, but when she heard there might be medicine that could free her from possession, all the blood drained instantly from her face. Of course, I didn't notice any of this.
"But...b-but, uh, th-that is, umm, does it work?! Does it really work?!"
"Oh yes, absolutely! It must be frightening to take an unknown drug like this, but don't worry. This potion was created by someone with a very distinguished position within the church. Its effectiveness and safety are unquestionable."
"But—but...! S-something like that has got to cost a fortune! You can't waste such precious resources on someone as insignificant as me!"
"What are you saying? Aren't you a devout believer and a promising young Sister with a bright future ahead of you? Above all else, we extend our hand to those who can be saved. That's what the church should stand for. Now then, no need to hesitate."
As the finishing touch, I give her my warmest smile.
Maria looks back and forth between me and the medicine several times, but no matter how much she mouths words, she can't come up with an excuse not to take it.
All that remains for her is...
"...Thank you very m-much..."
She drains the contents of the bottle.
