Chapter 156 – Unearthing My Past

Chapter 156 – Unearthing My Past

First thing in the morning, someone started knocking heavily on the door. Mio still had me wrapped tightly in her arms. It took a bit of squirming to get away and out of bed. I couldn't find my pants, so I settled on an oversized shirt and opened the door.

"Package for you."

"But I didn't order anything..." I answered, then looked up to find a yokai standing in front of me. This one was certainly dressed like a deliveryman, with a clipboard under his arm and holding a box. The human features ended with his head, which appeared heavily swollen with a large venus fly trap-like mouth.

I didn't take any chances. One magic blast erased the yokai from existence, leaving behind a cardboard box that began to disintegrate. It must have been a part of him.

I shut the door and clapped my hands.

"The fuck was that?" Mio asked groggily from the futon.

"Another yokai. I think that's the fourth one this week... For some reason, they're attracted to our apartment. Or us?" I pondered aloud.

Mio reached blindly for me since her head was still under the sheets and pillow. When I gave her my hand, she dragged me down and pounced like a wild animal. We rolled around on the floor, her stark naked and me in only a shirt that she quickly pulled off. Our bare bodies embraced, then our lips followed.

Two groping hands traveled down my back and squeezed both cheeks of my butt. When I tried to tease Mio in return by rubbing her clit with my tail, she used her own tail to coil around mine and reeled it away. I let out a quiet gasp as she guided our tails into my pussy.

"Wet already, huh? What say we play hooky today and continue where we left off from last night?" Mio asked.

It was hard to think with a tail slowly stirring me up from the inside.

"Mm... You know we can't..." I said, trying to play the good angel on her shoulder.

Mio picked up speed, pumping deeper into me to break my resolve.

"Why not? We're a shoe-in for Tsukiji Uni, right? Besides, Hacchan told me that most third years don't do shit in the last month. We could be partying, playing, and fucking instead."

At the last word, Mio pinched my nipples so hard that she brought me to climax.

"Hahh... Okay, okay..." I gave in as she continued to caress my body. "What do you have in mind?"

Kerchak!

In a bright flash of light, the photobooth snapped our final picture. Mio jumped out with more excitement than a dog being taken for a walk. I followed her out as she plucked the picture strips of us from the dispenser.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

"Kahaha! We look so dumb! And damn. I know those cat ears are fake, but seeing 'em on you is making me feel all sorts of ways." Mio purred.

"Pfft... We really do look silly," I agreed, unable to contain the giggles.

Mio handed one strip to me and kept the other for herself. She held onto a third that we planned to give to Kana. It was less wholesome than the others we took, which had us flashing our bare breasts and pussy, including a full frontal naked shot as the final picture. Just something for him to jerk off to while he attended school in Tokyo.

The arcade was Mio's first choice. We weren't the only ones out here. Third years from Tsukiji High and other schools were out in force. She wasn't kidding about people playing hooky. Maybe this was the freedom I wanted.

But... That last look my mother gave me still haunted me.

I shook the image from my mind. No. She didn't deserve my sympathies or guilt.

"Hey, let's play that!" Mio pointed to a Jurassic shooting game booth that had two seats and guns. After tossing a few coins into it, the entire booth came to life lurching from side to side and mimicking impacts from crashes. We were in a car, racing through a gargantuan jungle and shooting raptors, pterodactyls, and a tyrannosaurus hot on our tail.

Unfortunately, the giant dino caught up to the back of our car and took a chomp out of us both. Game over, all because Mio couldn't land her last shot on its other eye.

"Aww, come on! I'm outta coins, too." Mio groaned, smacking the center console.

"You sucked! I had no idea you were so bad at shooting games!" I flashed a teasing grin.

"Oh, pssh. The controls are wonky, and I'm sticking to that excuse." She tossed the gun back onto its console and leaned back in the seat. "You starting to feel better?"

As the adrenaline slowly drained away from my body, it dawned on me that Mio was once again trying to cheer me up.

"A little," I lied.

It was still chewing me up inside.

"The thing about your parents. Fuck them. And I don't mean to pork them— well, you can if you want— but I mean, who cares about what they think? Bea was a lot like them at first. Always telling me that the shit she does was for my sake, and that I should just obey everything that comes out of her mouth. Don't let them control your life like that. They don't deserve you even thinking about them," Mio said.

"I know... It's just... Unlike Beatrice, they haven't tortured me. It's not like they locked me in a cage or sold me to the highest bidder. They just... weren't around." I clutched the plastic gun tighter to my chest, and Mio reached over to hold my hand.

"You know who was around? Your grandparents. I love the shit out of them. They're your pop's folks, right? How'd the apple fall so far from the tree?" she asked.

"I'm not actually sure..."

Growing up, Grandma and Grandpa were always the kind of people that did things by the family cookbook. I had thought they were the ones who raised my father like he was today, but their last visit didn't lead me to believe so anymore.

"Hey, you want to go visit them?" I asked Mio.

"Would I ever! Don't need to ask me twice," Mio said, then paused with a hand on the game booth's door. "It's gonna be our first meeting since we came out as succubi, huh?"

"Right... I guess we can see how they react."

Since we were skipping school anyway, we might as well go the extra mile. The both of us flew to my grandparents' house in Nishiwaki and held our breaths, landing in front of their house. Telling them I turned into a girl was one thing, but to tell them I was a succubus? That's a whole nother level of crazy pill to swallow.

So, imagine my surprise when they invited us in, sat us down, and brought out a slew of snacks for us to eat.

"Uhm... Grandma, Grandpa? You heard what I said, right?" I asked to make sure.

"We heard you, sweetie." Grandma put down a tray of oatmeal cookies that Mio immediately began devouring. "But I don't even know what a succubus is and why I should care?"

"I know what succubus are. Maybe you can mind control your grandma to show me a little bit more respect. Like not eating the last mochi in the pot!" Grandpa shot her a glare.

"Oh, you look like you're having the worst time of your life eating mochi without dentures!" she retorted.

"I take them off because they get stuck in my dentures, but I love eating those glutinous goodies!"

This went back and forth while Mio and I were trying not to laugh. Would I, Kana, and Mio end up like this one day? Could my parents? I couldn't even imagine them ever coming to an argument.

Grandma placed a gentle hand to my cheek. "Saeko, remember what I said when you told us that you became a girl? We're too old to be worrying about that. Even if we still had a hundred more years ahead of us, whether you're a girl or a succubus, you're first and foremost our adorable grandchild that always asked me to read you a story before bed."

Magic in origins, but what and who was it from? And why?

I didn't want to bother my grandparents any longer. It looked like it was getting painful for them to recall the past, especially with that block in their minds.

They saw Mio and I off at the door, gifting us some snacks for the go.

"Love you, Grandma, Grandpa!" I hugged my grandparents.

"Whatever you find out, give your parents a good kick in the rump for us. Maybe that was our mistake for not disciplining them enough," Grandma said.

"Can I get a hug, too?" Mio asked, seemingly unsure if she should butt in.

"Mio, dear. Of course!" She gave Mio a squeezing hug only an elderly woman with a lot of love and not a lot of time could give.

We returned to Tsukiji in the late afternoon with more questions than answers.

"You think your parents were knee deep in some hoodoo shit or something?" Mio asked.

"Not sure. I get the feeling if I ask, they'll just clam up and pretend not to know anything. But it's really weird. You remember when Selene tried to compel them? It just didn't work. They resisted like it was nothing. I thought it was just that it broke logic for them to ever be nice, but maybe it's something more?" I wondered aloud.

My phone suddenly rang, and speak of the devil. It was Selene calling. She asked to meet at Kana's house, so that was where Mio and I flew towards.

We let ourselves in just as Kana was serving tea to Selene and a couple of succubi, one of which was flirting with him.

"You're just the cutest thing. I can see why the queen has taken a liking to you," a succubus said, stroking Kana's arm as he handed her a cup.

"Back off my merchandise, sister." Mio growled.

The succubus backed away immediately.

"One of you wants to explain why my house turned into a succubus meeting place?" Kana folded his arms.

"Selene?" I turned to the one who invited us all here.

"As you asked, we looked into the phonebook and found three known exorcists in Tsukiji City. We've brought them." Selene let ripple her aura. In a second, the front door opened and a succubus led in three old men.

They looked absolutely terrified and without a clue as to what was going on.

"Did you just kidnap them from their homes?!" A horrified Kana asked.

"We gave them a choice," Selene insisted in defense of herself. "We were only a little heavy handed about it."

"Uhh... Can we know what's going on?" A bald man in brown robes raised his hand, causing the buddhist beads on his wrist to rattle.

"My boyfriend's been possessed by an onryo." I pointed to Kana. "I want you to exorcise him. Whoever succeeds gets a foursome with the succubi that brought you here."

The three supposed exorcists glanced over their shoulders and gulped, letting loose a wave of lust that tickled my nose. I had a bad feeling because none of them looked confident when Kana showed them the eyeball on his hand.

"Okay, be honest. Are you really exorcists?" I charmed all three of them to answer truthfully.

"No..." they answered together.

Thought so. They were frauds after all. As soon as I freed them from my charm, they leapt to the ground to grovel.

"I'm sorry for lying! Exorcising is the only way I earn money while in retirement!"

"My father was the one who pressured me into this!"

"Please don't hurt us... We didn't mean to mislead you!"

Selene put a hand to her face and sighed.

"I'm terribly sorry, my queen. I didn't intend to bring frauds to your doorsteps," she said.

"Just send them home and leave them with a nice dream or something." I waved them off.

The three lesser succubi escorted the exorcists away. I walked over to Kana and grabbed his possessed hand. The eye blinked at me.

"Everything will be fine. I'm sure you guys will find a way. Besides, it's not like this thing is actively killing me," Kana joked to make light of his situation.

"If Mio and I lose you like we almost did when Shuten possessed you..."

"You're not going to lose me," he promised.

"Oh, we got a gift for you!" Mio chimed in and slipped the erotic photostrip of us into his hand.

Kana went wide-eyed and popped an erection.

"Make sure to spank the bank with that eyeball hand," she added.

"W-Wait a minute, is this why you two were missing from class today? Mio, you can't just play hooky!" Kana scolded.

"Why the hell not? We're dragging you along tomorrow. Better yet, we're staying over and getting our fuck on."

While they were talking, I pulled Selene out to speak in the foyer.

"I wanted to ask— Around 19 to 20 years ago, did any succubus come to Earth like Hana and Beatrice did? Like to Tsukiji specifically?" I asked.

"An odd question. I might not be the best one to ask, having been at odds with the then queen. After all, only those closest to Beatrice or the dark elven queen could have traveled between worlds. They needed an extraordinary amount of magical power, like from the Blade of the First Temptress or an artifact of similar strength," Selene explained.

"Would you say... someone who was close to either of them had to be close confidantes to ask for a portal to this world?"

The greater succubus before me thought for a moment and nodded.

"I imagine so. For example, Beatrice would not just send anyone. It would have to be someone she trusted very well and had a very good reason to send here. Why do you ask?"

"Because I think a succubus came to Tsukiji City about 20 years ago and messed with my family," I said.
