Everyone looked at Marilyn with different expressions. Lilith was intrigued and smiled at the girl. Fiona's eyes looked at her friend, then back to the Demon Lord, her expression full of curiosity and wonder about what type of race her friend would turn into. Lai, on the other hand, was worried that Marilyn was so willing to give up her humanity. It wasn't Lai's choice to become a succubus, but it was the only thing that prevented her from passing on to the afterlife. Chase was in a simir boat as Lai. It was nice to know that Marilyn wanted to help him by becoming something else, but he didn't know if he could turn her back into a human if things didn't turn out well.

  Chase's mind was racing. He was still new to the whole Demon Lord business, and while his powers were vast and varied, there were still many aspects of his abilities that he was unsure about.

  'Oh boy... I think we've made this whole becoming a demon thing seem a lot more romantic and cool than it actually is. I mean, I had to do everything in my power to keep Lai, Fiona, and Lilith's humanity intact. If I was far more nefarious, they'd have ended up succubi with no control over themselves and might have become monsters. And that's the st thing I want.'

  While Chase searched for the right words to say, Grace panicked internally, her mind racing with conflicting thoughts and feelings.

  'No! He must be using reverse psychology on all of them! I must save them! But how?!' Grace thought as she gnced around, noticing the women gazing at Chase with longing in their eyes. Yet, in truth, it was love. Love for the man who was going to bring change and justice to Delinora.

  Grace knew she was running out of time, her panic escating with each passing second. With no other options, she decided to go with her instincts and intervene, the desperate attempt a st-ditch effort to stop Chase's pns.

  "M-Miss Marilyn! W-What are you saying? You're human, aren't you? You can't just give up your humanity and turn into a monster!" Grace excimed.

  Marilyn covered her mouth as if she didn't mean to speak up and wanted to remain silent. Fiona reached out and pced her hand on her friend's shoulder, a comforting gesture meant to reassure her.

  "Don't worry, Marilyn. If you really want this, I won't judge you. I just want you to be happy," Fiona said, her voice filled with kindness and understanding.

  Lai looked at Marilyn for a moment and then turned to face Chase.

  "I won't judge either. But Chase, is there a way to turn her back into a human?" Lai asked.

  He sighed and shook his head. "I have no idea." He then approached Marilyn, knelt down next to her, and pced his hand on her p.

  "Listen, Marilyn... Becoming a demon isn't something to take lightly. I believe that once you turn into a demon, that's it. Also, I don't know how you will change, either. I could face some strange options that might leave me no choice but to turn you into something completely different from everyone else. You might not be able to become human again."

  Marilyn slowly lowered her hands from her mouth, her wide eyes searching his face for understanding. She took a deep breath, ready to voice the thoughts swirling in her mind, but just as she began to form the words, Chase held up his hand, palm forward, signaling her to pause. The tension in the air thickened as their eyes locked, a silent conversation unfolding between them.

  "I'm not saying that I won't do it. I want you to give it some time before you decide, okay? If you still want to proceed with it by tomorrow morning, then I'll do it."

  Marilyn's lips curled into a warm smile as she offered him a reassuring nod, her eyes twinkling with understanding. In stark contrast, Grace's heart raced wildly in her chest, and her breaths came in quick, shallow gasps, her anxiety amplifying with each passing moment. She failed to rid Marilyn of the Demon Lord's influence, and the prospect of the girl willingly succumbing to the temptation of power left her shaken. She had limited time to save Marilyn and maybe the other girls. Her mind was frantic with the search for an option, a solution to the dilemma, but she was coming up empty.

  'This is not good. Why are these girls so accepting of him?! Are they all blind?!' Grace thought as she struggled to compose herself, her hands trembling with rage and frustration. 'Is he using his charm on them? But how? How am I unaffected?... I can't feel any mana being used! B-But how do I know if mana is being used? Wait... Maybe he isn't using mana, but something else? What about mind control or hypnosis? No... He would have used that on me, but he hasn't. Then how the hell is he so charming?'

  As the raven-haired girl struggled with a surge of panic, Lilith leaned in closer to Chase, her eyes glinting with excitement.

  "Hey, Master Chase... Since things seem to be getting a bit boring, can we have some fun tonight?" Lilith asked, her tail wagging behind her excitedly.

  Chase was taken by surprise at her bold question. Sure, Lilith was turned into a woman, but he didn't expect her to ask for sex in front of everyone.

  "Oh no, you don't! We are sleeping in all our own beds, Lilith," Lai said as she wrapped her tail around Chase's left arm and easily pulled him behind her.

  'Whoa! Lai is strong. How can such a skinny thing be so strong?' Chase thought as he was dragged around behind Lai. 'Wait? How strong is my tail? Is it as strong as hers?'

  "Aw, come on. I only wanted to snuggle with him. What's wrong with that?"

  "T-That's not what it sounded like... WAIT! I'm not letting you sleep with him in the same bed! That's undylike!" Lai excimed, her cheeks turning pink.

  Lilith giggled and smirked at Lai, "Hmm? Someone sounds jealous? If you want, we can both share his bed tonight or better yet; I'm sure our Master won't mind if I have some fun with him while you just sit there and watch, right Master?" Lilith said while wrapping her tail around his right arm and trying to pull him away from Lai.

  Chase felt his blood flow increase down south and was starting to panic. He could feel the two tails wrapped around his arms and was amazed by how powerful and firm they were. 'Holy shit. These tails are insanely strong! I don't even have a chance to move them!... GAH! That's not important right now. These two are fighting over me, and I need to do something to de-escate the situation!'

  Lai puffed her cheeks, "C-Chase is a kind man and wouldn't allow a whore to touch him!"

  "Whore?! Do you have any idea what I have been through?! I've been stuck in a man's body all my life! And now that I finally have a woman's body, I want to make up for all the lost time. So fuck off, you prude," Lilith retorted, her eyes gring angrily at the redhead succubus.

  Fiona and Marilyn watched from the sidelines, unsure of how to handle the situation. Eve was enjoying the show. She felt that things would be a lot more fun now that Lai and Lilith were fighting over her Master.

  'My Master has done so much for me. He is my world, and I want him to have all the women he can get his hands on,' Eve thought, a smug expression on her cover as she observed the situation.

  "U-Um?... Ladies? Let's not fight over me. It's not worth it—"

  "PRUDE!? I'm saving myself for the right man, you idiot! One that is going to love and cherish me!" Lai said as she hugged his arm, trying to pull him closer to her.

  "Oh, you poor, deluded, innocent little girl. Well, while you go looking for one. I'll just grab the perfect man in front of me," Lilith said as she slid the top of her bck dress down. Chase could feel her rge breasts pressing against his arm and felt his manhood twitch in his pants.

  "W-Why you little-!"

  Just as the two were about to go at it, Chase felt a surge of adrenaline as his instincts took over, urging him to step in and calm the mounting tension. Even though his manhood was growing harder and harder with each passing second, his mind was trying its best to focus on the situation and prevent the girls from going too far. So he quickly grabbed both of the heart-shaped ends of their tails and squeezed them slightly. Causing the two succubi to squeak in pleasure and surprise.

  "Augh!?" the two cried out, their cheeks flushing a deep crimson.

  "Alright! That's enough, you two... Lai! I'm not going to sleep with anyone for tonight," Chase decred, his voice firm but steady. Turning to Lai, he added, "Listen, I’m not about to sleep with anyone tonight. You don’t have to rush into anything until you feel ready." He then shifted his gaze to Lilith, who appeared caught up in her enthusiasm. "And you, Lilith! I get that you’re thrilled about embracing womanhood, but there’s no excuse for insulting Lai. I expect an apology—now. If you choose to ignore that, just know I won’t let you touch me ever again. Do you understand?”

  A powerful jolt coursed through their bodies, an electrifying blend of excitement, fear, and an inexplicable thrill. They could tell that their master was serious, and if they disobeyed him, they would be punished.

  "L-Lai, I'm s-sorry for calling you a prude and a bitch. I-I was impatient, and I took it out on you! Please forgive me," Lilith said while blushing, her head facing the ground.

  Chase couldn't believe how swiftly she offered her apology to Lai. He was caught off guard by the sincerity in her voice. It was as if the weight of their misunderstanding lifted almost instantly, leaving him both impressed and relieved.

  'I thought she would put up more of a fight. She’s sweeter than I thought,' Chase pondered.

  Lai looked away with a blush on her face, "I-I'm sorry for calling you a whore. You were right; I wasn't acting like myself... And I got jealous... I've never been attracted to a man before... Well, until I saw Chase. I-I'll accept your apology." She reluctantly accepted her apology, her face blushing a deeper red.

  Chase could see that both succubi were sincere in their apologies, and he was relieved to see that things had calmed down. He nodded his head and released his hold on their tails. Both let out a sigh of relief as they didn't want their master touching their tails in anger. They could feel his strength, which sent shivers down their spines.

  'Gods... I-I wish Master was rougher with us. The way he grabbed and squeezed our tails. I've never been so aroused in my life.' The blue-haired succubus thought as she wiggled her hips involuntarily, her arousal dripping down her thighs.

  Chase swallowed his dry throat and tried to calm his beating heart.

  'I... We've had a long day... We really need to sleep now. And no matter what, we can't have sex tonight. We must stay focused until we are in a safe pce. Then I'll see who wants to have sex and who doesn't,' he told himself.

  Chase stood up and cpped his hands, drawing the girls' attention.

  "W-Well, this has been an eventful evening, and we're all exhausted, so let's call it a—"

  As Chase spoke, his gaze swept across the room, taking in the girls seated around him, moving from his left to his right. He was unexpectedly drawn to the sight of Lilith, who was staring at him with big, sad, puppy-dog eyes.

  “Hey, Lilith,” he said gently, pausing mid-sentence. “Is everything okay?”

  She hesitated, her expression almost pleading. She wanted to sleep in the same bed with a man that she was willing to do anything. “It’s just… If I agree to make a few compromises… could I possibly snuggle up to you? Just for tonight, please?” Lilith implored, her voice soft as she fought the urge to beg.

  Lai looked around Chase with a frown written all over her face. Chase could feel her disapproval and decided to do something about it.

  'God dammit... Lilith isn't going to let this go, is she... Well, she did apologize to Lai, and maybe she won't try to do anything with me besides snuggling if Lai is there, too... I'll hear her out, and we can figure something out,' he thought.

  "Hmmm... Alright, what do you have in mind?"

  Lilith's eyes sparkled with delight, and a radiant smile spread across her face. With a graceful motion, she lifted her dress back into pce, covering her shame, and began to speak, her voice filled with enthusiasm and warmth.

  "I’m willing to let Lai snuggle on one side and me on the other. But... I'll only be wearing my underwear while I cuddle with you... A-And I promise not to do anything too naughty," Lilith said, her cheeks flushed.

  It was like she read his mind, but he needed Lai's okay before agreeing to the compromise. Chase gnced over at Lai, noticing how her frown slowly morphed into a deep shade of embarrassment, her cheeks flushing as she shifted her gaze to the ground.

  "Lai?" Chase asked.

  The red-headed succubus crossed her arms and let out a heavy sigh, "You can't be naked!"

  "So, you are going to sleep in your armor? How comfortable is that?" Lilith asked, raising her eyebrow.

  Lai opened her mouth and closed it again. "W-Well, you can't sleep in the nude! It's undylike!"

  "So it's alright if we sleep with him if I'm in my underwear?"

  Lai bit her lower lip and thought about it, 'She's going to try something tonight, isn't she!? Well, I'll make sure to put a stop to that. I-I just need to make sure she's not naked or sleeping under the covers with him. That will be okay, right?...'

  Chase was worried that he was putting Lai in a tough spot, and he should have just said no to Lilith. 'Lai must not have realized that she would have to be half-naked too... And she doesn't look too comfortable about it... Well, if she not comfortable then—'

  "I-I'll accept," Lai said, interrupting Chase's thoughts, which made him do a double-take.

  Lai turned her gaze to Lilith and nodded her head, "As long as you're not naked, and I'm on the other side of Chase, then that's fine."

  Chase stared in disbelief, his mind racing. He had anticipated a resounding “no,” yet here she was, ready to embrace the unexpected. The thought sparked a thrill in him: two beautiful women nestled beside him, a tempting prospect after everything that had transpired.

  “Maybe I shouldn’t question this... It would feel so nice,” he mused, a smile creeping onto his face until Lilith's surprise brought him out of his daydreaming.

  "W-Wait, really?! Y-You'd actually let me cuddle with Master?!" Lilith excimed, her eyes shining with uncontainable excitement.

  Beside her, Lai felt a flush rise to her cheeks. “Well, it wouldn't be fair for only you to enjoy cuddling with Chase... I prefer to avoid a fight over him,” she admitted, biting her lip.

  Lai turned to Chase, her gaze searching his face. “I-Is that okay with you, Chase?” she asked, her voice soft but filled with anticipation.

  Chase's heart raced as both of his disciples looked at him, their expressions a mix of hope and eagerness. The moment hung in the air, charged with possibility.

  'Shit, these girls are really pulling at my heartstrings... I-I better keep an eye on Lilith. She might try to pull something while we're sleeping. And the fact that Lai is willing to do this means she wants to cuddle with me, too. I can't deny her that, but I can't let them think they can control me either... Gah! Who the fuck am I kidding. How am I supposed to say no to both of them... I need to be strong... How did I end up in a situation with two beautiful women trying to share the same bed with me?'

  Taking a deep breath, Chase tried to calm his beating heart and answered their question.

  "F-Fine... Just remember not to touch anything without my permission," Chase directed that rule more at Lilith, as he was worried she might be the one to try something.

  Lilith's eyes brightened even further, a smile of joy spreading across her face. "Oh, thank you, Master!"

  Lai's cheeks flushed a deep crimson as she fixed her gaze on Chase, her thoughts swirling in a silent storm. Nearby, Fiona couldn't contain her giggles while Marilyn watched with a knowing smile, clearly amused by the unfolding moment.

  Chase noticed that Eve had been staring at them with an unusual expression. At first, he assumed that she was simply bored, but upon closer inspection, he could see her cover trembling slightly, almost as if she were shivering.

  In reality, Chase was racking up so many Love Points that she could feel them, and it was causing her to feel sensations that the floating grimoire had never experienced before.

  "Eve? Are you cold?"

  She turned her attention back to him and shook her body in the air.

  "N-No, Master... I-I'm fine..." Eve lied, her book cover still shaking.

  Chase was going to inquire more about it, but the girls interrupted him, their voices filling the room.

  "Sorry, Fiona... There's room for only us," Lilith winked at the vampire. She was gloating, having won the chance to cuddle with their master.

  "Oh, I truly believe Master Chase could take us all on if he desired, but he's choosing to py the gentleman role instead. I have to say, my respect for him has grown immensely," Marilyn remarked with a hint of admiration in her voice.

  "Hmph! You should count your blessings that Chase is such a kind soul... But mark my words, there will come a day when it's my turn to snuggle, and you'll be stuck on the outside looking in," Fiona decred, puffing her cheeks as she turned away dramatically.

  Lilith couldn't help but chuckle. "Hahaha! If that’s how you feel, then you can have all the snuggle time you want when we’re not around!"

  Chase, ever the peacemaker, jumped in with a soft smile, "Come on, Lilith... Let’s not tease. We’re all friends here, after all."

  With a slight pout, Lilith replied, "O-Okay, Master. I didn't mean to tease."

  Chase chuckled warmly. "It’s no problem at all. Now, let’s get some rest. We’ve got a big day ahead of us tomorrow!"
