"Alice, I'll teach you~ You have to do it like this~"
Kurose Akira passively endured Ivsha's fervent kiss.The sweetness of black tea intertwined with the succubus's warmth—beyond the rich fragrance of the tea, he could clearly feel the greed emanating from the succubus herself.
Damn it!
I–Iv–sha—
You're about to reach…Th–th–that point—
Shh—
Ivsha finally released her food in satisfied delight. Between the two of them, thin strands of pale light shimmered briefly, glowing faintly like fireflies before fading away.
In contrast, Akira looked as though his soul had been siphoned out of him. He slumped back into the wooden chair, breathing lightly, his mind in utter disarray—yet at the same time, dangerously infatuated with that sensation.
This entire scene unfolded clearly before Alice's eyes.
As a pure and innocent magic doll, she deeply understood one thing at this moment—
Under Ivsha's guidance, she still had so much to learn.
"Chu~"
Ivsha licked her fingertip, looking every bit like a tireless mentor. She turned to Alice and asked gently,
"Did you get it, Alice?"
"I did! Ivsha-senpai!"
Alice answered excitedly. Tiny sparks of starlight practically danced in her eyes.
Watching this, Akira felt as though a thousand cavalry units were charging through his heart.
You got WHAT exactly?!
"Want to try it?" Ivsha said, generously stepping aside and offering up her food to Alice.
"R–Really…? I can?"
"Of course~"
"Then… I'll try."
Alice approached Akira with anticipation filling her every step. Her sky-blue eyes shimmered with tenderness and longing, while her thoughts surged toward him like a rising tide.
As expected of a succubus senpai!Can I do this to Master too?Master's expression just now was so cute… it makes me want to…
Alice's inner voice echoed inside Akira's mind—no, deeper than that, even his soul trembled faintly in response.
"Alice! Don't learn bad things!" Akira snapped urgently.
Of all things to learn—why kissing from a succubus?!
You don't even have a long tongue like hers!
"M–Master… I… am I not allowed…?"
Alice climbed onto him, pressing her hands against his chest. Her sky-blue eyes gazed at him deeply, flickering with longing and hopeful anticipation.
"Master~"
She called to him softly, her voice gentle and intimate. Her body leaned closer, inch by inch.
Akira looked at her, conflicted. In the end, he said nothing.
His silence caused Alice's lips to curve into a small smile—
A tacit permission.
"Then~ Master~ I'm starting now~"
Alice lifted the cup of black tea, took a small sip, and a faint shimmer spilled from her cherry-red lips, making her look even more alluring. Then her soft body pressed closer, warmly inviting her master to share the moment.
Akira's heart was filled with both anticipation and unease.
He longed for Alice's approaching figure—those petal-soft lips stirred an indescribable desire within him.
But he was also worried.
Ivsha, as a succubus, was already too far ahead of the current version for an ordinary human like him. He still vividly remembered the stomach-churning sensation from just moments ago.
If Alice kissed him the same way Ivsha did…
Ngh—
Just as Akira was lost in thought—
Alice's gentle kiss landed on his lips.
But it was different from what he imagined.
Compared to Ivsha's deep, passionate kiss, Alice's felt more like a cute doll softly pressing against his lips.
It was tender and sweet, wrapping around him like delicate threads of silk.
The imported black tea flowed into his mouth like a gentle stream, its fragrant sweetness spreading slowly across his palate.
Akira closed his eyes and surrendered to the sensation.
At that moment, a voice echoed in his mind.
[You are doing something interesting with your soul companion. Your soul is being nourished.]
…This nourishes the soul too?!
Ssshh—
After passing the final sip of tea to Akira, Alice pulled back in satisfaction. She reached out and gently wiped the corner of his lips, asking lightly,
"Was it good?"
Her sky-blue eyes flickered expectantly as she awaited his answer.
"Yeah. It tasted good," Akira replied honestly.
If Ivsha was a rich, full-bodied tea that jolted the senses awake, then Alice was like a light, elegant brew—subtle, lingering, unforgettable.
As expected, imported black tea always delivered a different kind of experience!
"That's great~"
Alice smiled sweetly, then turned toward Ivsha.
"Ivsha-senpai, please continue the lesson."
"Of course~ Today's lesson is still very long~"
As she spoke, Ivsha casually began removing Akira's outer coat.
"Lesson?" Akira asked blankly.
"Yes, Master. Just sit quietly, okay? There's still so much I need to learn from Ivsha-senpai~"
Alice sat down on Akira's lap, gently swinging her legs. Her cute yet dangerously charming face was filled with anticipation.
"Ivsha-senpai told me Master has many favorite formulas. As Master's maid~ I need to learn properly~"
"That's right~"
The two women exchanged knowing smiles.
Akira's heart pounded in alarm.
Alice—Why are you learning this of all things?!Why learn from a succubus?!
"Alice, slowly now~ When praying, you first need to clasp your hands together…" Ivsha seemed completely immersed in the joy of teaching.
"Like this~?""Yes~ Exactly like that~"
"..."
Akira: ???
...
Meanwhile—
Back in Akira's guild, the only normal one—No, the only normal skeleton—
Loserine was absorbing her final memory fragment.
As her memories returned, her level rose alongside them—and her body began undergoing subtle changes.
Her form was still composed of crystalline bones wrapped in soul-matter, but now the external soul began revealing finer details.
The texture of lips.The whorls of fingerprints.Her distinctive blue-luminescent eyebrows…
Every detail became vivid, exquisite—like a living work of art.
At the same time, her power surged uncontrollably.
Level 13—
14!15!16!
The growth showed no sign of slowing. If anything, it accelerated.
As her strength increased, her crystalline skeleton gleamed brighter and brighter, like gemstones bathed in sunlight—radiant as a blazing sun, impossible to look at directly.
And as her memories fully returned, the images once shattered in her mind slowly reassembled like fragments of broken mirrors.
Details of witches.The truth behind the shipwreck.
Everything was laid bare in this instant.
She murmured softly—
"The Night… Witch!"
