Capítulo 24: The New Love Demon

[Day: Monday]

[Time: Morning]

[Location: Matsugaya University]

This Monday morning started in a sweet and simple way. The gentle snowflakes fell from the clouds, covering the ground with a cool white blanket, the air was cool but not too cold to cause freezing...for the first time in years I was able to see snow. It is now December 2nd, and Thanksgiving Break has ended.

I sat at a table in the courtyard with Whitney, Gloria, and Amber, the three of us telling each other how our break went and what we did over the break.

"Wow, even during the break you're still being the charmer you are..~ I can't say I'm particularly surprised, but.." Gloria began, turning back to see Ashley and Aubrie hanging out at their old table like old times. "It's nice you fixed their relationship and took them away from that jerk..~"

"That's Shiro for you, he's kinda a one of a kind if you really think about it." Amber said, her voice still reflecting her affection for me, her hand finding its place upon mine.

Whitney smiled at us then looked at me, her eyes shimmering. "He is amazing isn't he..~ Oh yeah, Amber! Mind coming over with me to babysit Adrianna with Caroline today? Caroline did say she wanted to see you yesterday."

"I have no problem coming over, after all I do wanna see my cousins again~" Amber said, a happy smile playing on her face.

"What do you have planned today, Shiro?" Gloria asked, turning her attention to me.

"I'm gonna be going over to Sanctuary City. I did find some nice stores there I wanted check out. They have some nice locations there also, so I'm probably gonna be there for a while. I am also looking into getting a bigger house, so I'll probably be house searching." I answered.

"A busy schedule huh?~ Will you be free this Friday?" Gloria asked.

I thought for a bit, thinking of what I had planned for the week. "I'm sure I'll be free. I'm taking this as an invitation that you want to go out?~"

"Mhm~ I have a little surprise for you on Friday~" Gloria giggled softly.

[Gloria's pretty smart, she knows your birthday lands on this Friday. I can already think of many things that could happen this Friday.]

'I figured..~ I am also surprised to see what Gloria has in store for me..' I thought to Lust-E.

The bell rang signalling for our first class to start. The four of us got up and I began to walk each of them to their classes before heading off to mine. As I walked to class, I noticed I had gotten a text from Jessica.

{Jessica: Don't forget to show up or else.}

I chuckled at the message then texted her back. I didn't forget that I was supposed to be seeing Jessica and her friends today. I was pretty excited to see how Sanctuary University was and what all the city truly offered.

[Day: Monday]

[Time: Afternoon]

[Location: Matsugaya University]

All of my classes came to an end and I left the building to go home and prepare for my date. As I walked toward the entrance, I noticed some commotion going on and walked toward the small crowd of onlookers out of curiosity. There was no fight, but I would tell there was something going on. Lustie opened her eyes as she rested on my head in her tiny companion form.

She grunted and sat up, noticing someone that looked familiar to her. "No way...Shiro, That's Passion!"

Passion was one of Lustie's sisters, and she was just as beautiful as Lustie was. Her purple hair cascading in silky waves around her shoulders shimmered in the sunlight, her pale purple eyes glowed with an otherworldly allure as she scanned the area. At first glance I couldn't tell that it was Passion until I noticed the faint glow of her demonic sigil that took shape of a fiery rose. She donned the same perfect hourglass figure Lustie had, although her breasts were noticably smaller than Lustie's.

As her eyes scanned the onlookers, she finally noticed me within the crowd then began to make her way toward me, pushing those in her way aside. Her lips curled into a sadistic smile as she finally stood before me, her gaze piercing through me with an intensity that sent shivers down my spine. In that moment, I knew I was the one Passion was looking for, the one she sought to find amidst the sea of faces.

"Finally...I have finally found you, Shiro Moji..~" Passion said, her tone alluring and thick with passion just like her name suggested.

I immediately felt a connection then Lust-E beeped.

[New Love Demon able to be registered.]

Passion smirked as Lust-E gave me the notification then looked around. "There are too many presences around here. Let's get out of here and I'll explain why I'm looking for you..~"

I nodded then began to make my way from the campus, leading Passion away from the crowd. I didn't know what reasons Passion had for searching for me, but I knew she had chosen me so now I was stuck with two Love Demons and knew things were going to get chaotic fast.

"Yo...Who was that chick that loser walked off with?" Jake asked, watching me and Passion walk off together.

"I don't know, but damn she's fine as hell. How does that prick always get so lucky with women like her but we get stuck with the 2-bit bops." Eric asked, crossing his arms.

Mark watched me then looked at his phone. He still remembered the beat down I put on him after they made the mistake of kidnapping Whitney. He closed his eyes then walked off. "Let's go. We don't have time to worry about him."

Caden watched Mark walk off, wondering what was wrong with him. He shrugged it off and followed Mark to the gym to begin their work out session.

[Day: Monday]

[Time: Afternoon]

[Location: Home]

As Passion, Lustie, and I walked into my house, tension crackled in the air like electricity, Lustie and Passion brimming with their own desires and motivations for being with me and guiding me. Passion took a seat on my couch, her gaze upon me unwavering. Lustie stood near me, her arms crossed and expression guarded.

"Alright, Passion," I began, my voice steady despite the mounting tension in the room, "why are you here looking for me instead of...you know being anywhere else?"

Passion smiled at me, her eyes softening as her eyes met mine. "I've been watching you for a while just like Lustie has been watching you, and you've already had sex with six women and you have mastered your Lust Trait. I'm here to help you master other traits than Lust...and I'm here because I want to be with you as well. You have so much inner potential that you're not using and I want to awaken that.."

"Not happening." Lustie said as she stared at Passion. "He doesn't need your help."

"Obviously be does when he's no longer growing. Just take a look at his System. He's currently maxed out with Peak Human Conditions and Traits. He needs to grow...he needs to learn the Art of Passion and obviously someone like you who's always looking for sex isn't teaching him the CORRECT way." Passion retorted, her eyes flashing with defiance as she looked at Lustie.

Lustie bristled at Passion's words, her tail flicking as her competitive nature began flaring to life. "I know you better than our sisters and I know you just want to manipulate MY human. You're sadistic, untrust worthy, and obviously haven't put on the numbers I have. I'm going on ten years strong and had hundreds of clients. You're barely on my level."

Passion's lips curled into a taunting smirk, her purple eyes glowing with competitiveness. "That may be true, but you're only a piece of the puzzle as the Love Demon of LUST. We may be similar which is why we always clash, but our powers are not the same. I can not teach him Lust like you can not teach him TRUE Passion. You're holding him back from his true potential...had I not showed up, he wouldn't know what it's like to be a real Casanova."

The air crackled with tension as the two demons faced off, their rivalry threatening to boil over into open conflict. But before things could escalate further, I stepped forward, activating my Luscious Presence, my presence commanding attention.

"Enough," I said, my voice gentle yet firm. "I won't allow this feud to come between us. You both are here for the same reason—to help me become the best version of myself. I won't allow you two to argue and potentially get out of hand. Not under my roof under my watch. Now get it together."

To my surprise, both Passion and Lustie fell silent, their gazes softening as they looked to me with a mixture of awe and admiration. And in that moment, I realized the true power of my Luscious Presence—a power that transcended my human limitations and brought even the fiercest of demons to heel.

"His Aura is...pretty strong. Even I couldn't resist his commanding presence and...it kinda turned me on.." Passion said, a soft giggle following then she crossed one leg over the other. "Alright, Master..~ I'll behave if that's what it takes for you to keep me around~"

Lustie scoffed at Passion's words then turned away. "I'm only not attacking you with my Eyes of Lust because Shiro doesn't want us to fight. Any other human, I would've ignored them and struck you down."

"And you think your Hallucinations can beat my Desire Manifestation? You forget that Passion is also connected to Desire..while you...you're only a temporary emotion. Lust can go away, Lustiella. You can be countered and all I have to do is have the desire to take your power away and it will happen." Passion countered, smirking and crossing her arms.

"And you don't think my power runs on Desire also? Plus you forget that I also have Pherogenesis, I could secrete pheromones that could kill you...or I could just use my pheromones to make you forget you even have power." Lustie retorted.

"Bruh. Alright, both of you calm the fuck down. You two are no better than the women on Earth having their cat fights. Instead of arguing, how about we work together?" I said.

"Hmph! Tell your emotional guide to get out of her feelings and let me take over." Passion said.

"Not—"

"Red." I said.

"Shiro..! Are you seriously taking her side?" Lustie asked in disbelief, her gaze quickly turning to me.

"I'm not picking sides here and you should know I don't pick sides. I'm looking at the best outcome and even you realized I've mastered my Lust Trait because I literally just had sex with you on Saturday AND yesterday. You're 100%, Red. I do want to know how to become a better version of myself and for that to happen...as much as I don't want to admit...I need Passion." I said.

Lustie was about to say something, but kept quiet and sighed. "Alright, Shiro...I do understand how important this is for you. Passion, you better not do anything to hurt him or else I will kill you.."

"As if I would hurt the very man I chose..~ Alright, Shiro. Take a seat and let's talk, but before all that I want you to register me." Passion said, patting the spot next to her.

I looked at Lustie then looked at Passion and made my way toward her then sat down next to Passion. I took Lust-E out of my pocket then registered Passion into my system.

"Of course.." Lustie said, rolling her eyes, taking a seat on my recliner and watched us.

"Alright, now that we have that done, allow me to explain True Passion. Passion comes from the soul and isn't just any emotion. Now you do have some form of passion within yourself but that was created through your passion for women and sex, but now it's bigger than that. You are working on your Destiny Harem, so we need to integrate personal passion within you." Passion started.

"So, with that said," She began, her voice gentle yet probing, "other than the lust of a woman, what else are you passionate about? What drove you before this point? What inspires you, ignites that fire within your soul?"

I paused, taken aback by the unexpected question. I had never really considered what else I was passionate about aside from my desires for women. But as I reflected on my interests, a spark of recognition ignited within me.

"I...I do love video games," I admitted, my voice hesitant at first. "And books, music, culinary art and anime. These things do bring me joy, excitement, and a sense of fulfillment."

Passion's eyes lit up with excitement, her passion for unlocking my potential reignited by my revelation. "Yes, Shiro! These are the passions that define you, that make you the man you are. And with my guidance, you can learn to channel these passions into power, into the ability to mark women with a Love Sigil in ways that transcend mere physical intimacy."

Lustie, who had been listening in silence, felt a pang of unease at Passion's words. She understood the significance of my passions and how they could shape my abilities in develop me into something more. But deep down, she couldn't shake the feeling of apprehension at the thought of me connecting with women without her help and guidance as she's been with me since day one.

"Passion," Lustie interjected, her voice tinged with concern, "are you sure this is the right path for Shiro? His power mainly comes from his lust, from the connections he forms through physical intimacy."

Passion turned to face Lustie, her gaze unwavering. "I understand your concerns, Lustie. But Shiro's potential goes far beyond the confines of physical desire. He has the capacity for boundless passion, for love and connection that transcends the limitations of the flesh."

I listened to their exchange, feeling torn between the desires of both demons. But deep down, I knew that Passion was right—that there was more to my abilities than just sex and lust. This is just a weird experience for both me and Lustie as Passion was now going to be my current main guide.

"Do not worry, Shiro..~ I'm not going to separate you and Lustie. If anything she's free to join us if she would like, but I just want you to learn to embrace a Zealous lifestyle alongside your Lascivious lifestyle. It's only fair to you and your development. This is bigger than me and Lustie admittedly, as we want you to be the best person you can be and learn the Art of True Love. Love doesn't only come from sex and physical touch as you know, Love is complicated and even with a system it's still equally as complicated." Passion explained, her smile settling on her face as she gently stroked my hair.

I nodded and returned her smile. "I know you only want the best and it's why you're here. I'm just...thinking about Lustie's feelings as well. It's not easy for me making you my new guide as much as it isn't easy for Lustie to let you take lead, but I know that with your help I'll be able to grow into a better person."

"Good~ Now I know about your meet up with Jessica and her friends that's happening around 4-4:30 I believe? So within this next hour, I'll be teaching you ways on embracing your Zeal. The first part of being passionate is to take risks..~ So for me to become your guide, I need you to show me that you accept me as your new guide." Passion said.

I looked at Passion then looked at Lustie. Her concerns still lingered in the back of my mind, but this is bigger than us. Lustie gave me the nod of approval and I gave her a nod back then looked at Passion, leaning towards her and giving her a gentle kiss on her lips. Passion gave a pleased hum and giggled softly then Lust-E beeped.

[Passion has been registered as your new Love Demon Guide.]

[All Trait Levels can be raised to Level 50 due to your Second Love Demon!]

[Good Luck.]

"And to make sure you can't cheat this process..~" Passion said then snapped her fingers.

[Upgrade Skill has been locked.]

[Unlock Requirements: Master The Passion Trait/Clear Passion's Route.]

"So you can also tamper with Lust-E huh..? Alright, you won't catch any cheating from me." I said, smiling at Passion.

"Oh I know you won't~ Now let's get down to business." Passion said.

As Passion began to teach me the ways of passionate connection through my other interests, I felt a sense of liberation wash over me, knowing that I was finally able to tap into the true depths of my potential. And though Lustie's concerns lingered in the back of my mind, I couldn't ignore the undeniable truth—that my passion knew no bounds, and that with Passion's guidance, I would start to become a force to be reckoned with.
