V5: Chapter 53: Charge! The Succubus Hot Springs... or So It Seemed?

Chapter 53: Charge! The Succubus Hot Springs... or So It Seemed?

After walking through the town, we boarded a bus and rode for several minutes.

Finally, the bus seemed to be arriving at our destination.

For both of us, this distance could literally be covered in a flash, but this kind of journey felt more like a real trip, and quite stylish.

The first thing I noticed after we getting off the bus was the smell of sulfur.

The bus announcement had already told us before we even saw the huge sign in front of us.

"We're here ♡ This is our destination for today... the Lustful Prison Hot Springs♡"

"Lustful Prison... Hot Springs. I kind of knew it from the smell, but it really is a hot spring..."

Aside from the name, it was surprisingly ordinary compared to what I had imagined.

I was expecting something more... like a ranch or something erotic.

Well, just thinking about a Succubus taking a bath might be sexy enough...

But somehow, I feel like I was the only one who had strange expectations, and it doesn't sit right with me.

I'm certainly not a naughty girl... nope!

"Come on, let's go?"

"Yeah..."

She seemed about to skip, and I was led by the hand towards a large building.

At that moment, I never imagined that something like that would happen...

★

The Lustful Prison Hot Spring.

It's not just a hot spring for Succubi...

It seems to be a popular tourist spot for their partners as well.

That's because, apparently, only 30% of Succubi's romantic relationships develop with Incubi, and 10% with other Succubi.

In other words, the remaining 60% marry other species.

Separately, those kept as livestock or with humanoid pets...  apparently are prisoners of war from invasions by other demon races.

Geneva Laws were completely absent here, isn't it?

Is this really okay...?

Well, there's no point in worrying about the details.

This isn't just a country... it's a different dimension, a different world.

Upon entering the building, it was not much different from the hot spring facilities I'm familiar with. However, the food was unfamiliar, and the clothes (I'm not sure if I should call them clothes) that were supposedly used instead of kimonos were also unfamiliar.

"You're so cute, Ojou-chan. I can give you freebies! In return, how about some fun with me...?"

"Okay, stop. I've already bought a ticket, so no thank you."

Of course, even the receptionist tried to hit on me. I wish they'd at least do their job properly.

I mean, with the Queen right next to me, how can he even try to hit on her companion...?

"Well, I guess it can't be helped, so just let it slide... okay?"

"It's not like I mind being popular, it just feels good... but still, isn't this a bit much?"

I know I'm pretty, but even so, this is abnormal.

I've hardly ever been hit on by store clerks in my own world.

"Your face and magical power are top-notch. To a Succubus, you're truly... so attractive they'd risk their life to get a taste of you, you know?"

"I see...? No, I don't really understand."

We headed towards the changing room, chatting like that.

Not only me, but Lux was attracting a lot of attention. I don't know what the Queen of Succubi was up to, but... her presence must be something special.

"Can you take your clothes off by yourself?"

"I'm not a child anymore, you know?"

Even though I said that, I'd been getting help getting dressed until yesterday.

I just didn't have the strength in my body... I made excuses to no one in particular, and before I knew it, I was done undressing.

I was taken aback by her size, even though we were both women.

I wondered what she ate to grow so plump... and looked around.

"Oh my, are you curious about my body? You naughty little kitten ♡"

"Ah, sorry for staring..."

The woman who was changing next to me also had an incredible size.

It must be a racial trait, huh...

"...? If you want to touch mine, you can do whatever you want with them."

"No, it's not that I don't want to touch them... but that's not what I mean."

If I were to touch those huge, jiggly grapes after taking off my clothes, I'd forget we were in a public place and things would get out of hand.

Even a Succubus wouldn't get carried away in a changing room... right?

★

"Wow, it's about three times bigger than I imagined!"

"Hehe, this bath is quite popular, you know?"

As I entered the bathhouse, steam filled the air.

I could see a variety of baths lined up on the stone floor.

And every woman soaking in them was a beautiful woman or a pretty girl.

Looking at them, it seemed there were surprisingly young succubi, and even some gal-type succubi.

"Shizuku-chan, which bath do you want to try? I'll go with you."

"Um, well then... um?"

There was a normal lineup of baths, like a carbonated bath and an open-air bath... lined up?

"What's a tentacle bath...?"

"It's a bath with tentacles ♡"

It seemed to mean exactly what it said, which only made it more confusing.

Looking at the sign in front of the bath, I see a list of baths with outrageous names like "Milk Bath," "Slime Bath," and "Semen Bath."

The other two are out of the question... but what even is this "Milk Bath"?

The fact that it doesn't even say what kind of milk it is is really creepy.

"Which one would you like?"

"Ah, um... is Lux's recommendation okay?"

"Got it ♡ I'll give you lots of recommendations, okay?"

That's true, it's a bath popular with succubi after all... I see...

★

Bodies wriggle and squirm in the jar.

The large ones are about the size of a showerhead, the small ones are like folds... they're crammed together in the water.

The liquid in the bath is slimy, glossy, and viscous.

The water's surface ripples as they move inside, and the sight of it bubbling due to its viscosity sends shivers down my spine.

"Hey, hey!? Are we really starting here!?"

"Oh? It's surprisingly pleasant, you know ♡"

"Well, it might be pleasant, but...!?"

Not an octopus pot, but a tentacle pot bath.

It's less of a bath and more like an erotic doujinshi, with tentacles that seem only interested in roughing me... they seem to be calling for a victim, waiting for the right moment.

"Come on, you'll catch a chill, you need to get into the bathtub quickly, okay?"

"Why are you so sensible about things like that... ahh!?"

I'm lifted up and dropped into the pot.

The tentacles twitch and cling to my thighs, entangling my limbs. My stomach, my sides, my neck... nasty tentacles are wriggling and closing in.

Then, as if they'd been waiting for this, the tentacles wrap around my body and suck me in...♡

...Sucking?

"Huh? That feels good?"

"I told you, didn't I? I recommend it."

It was a different kind of pleasure than I'd imagined.

It was just a perfectly normal, wholesome kind of pleasure.

It was a feeling I'd experienced somewhere before... ah?

"Like doctor fish?"

"Doctor fish? I don't know what that is... but they clean out the waste products from your body, right?"

"Then it's doctor fish..."

I felt kind of let down, sorry tentacles.

Not all tentacles in the world are erotic tentacles.

"Doctor fish, huh..." Suddenly, they seem kind of cute.

It's like how spiders start to seem cute once you hear they're beneficial insects.

"Ah, this might be paradise..."

The wriggling, suction-cup tentacles cling to my thighs and shoulders, massaging my body.

The tentacles with mouths attach themselves to my armpits and around my belly button, cleaning away waste.

"Mmm, it's a little... ticklish, but... it feels good..."

"Oh my, you seem to be enjoying it very much?"

And the frilly tentacles clinging to the bottom and walls of the pot are wriggling around on my heels and the soles of my feet, probably scraping away dirt... but because of their location, it's still a little ticklish.

 "Oh, you seem to really like it? I never imagined you would be popular with the tentacles too..."

"Y-yes, hehe. Hmm, is my magic that... tasty?"

"Well... it looks very tasty, doesn't it?"

I'm human, so I don't really understand, but I guess I look tasty to them.

Now that I think about it, even before I became famous, the External Enemies were attacking me with a change of heart... or so it seems.

"Ahh, a little harder... it's working..."

Some are good at massage, others at cleaning.

Although they are all tentacles... they must be tentacles of a different species.

If we keep lumping them all together, coexistence between humans and demons will remain a distant future.

Getting to know each other like this is surely the first step towards coexistence.　

"Hey, that tickles... Don't touch me in weird places... Huh?"

Before I knew it, they, who had been swaying in the bathtub, had grown noticeably larger... and transformed into a grotesque shape. It didn't look like the tentacles had been replaced, so there must have been some kind of change...　

"They've grown... and become a vicious shape, haven't they?"

"Oh? They've evolved from accumulating magical power ♡ Normally, that only happens once every hundred years or so... Yours is truly high quality."　

I see, they evolved by eating the magical power accumulated in waste products... perhaps?

It's kind of unpleasant to be treated like food... or is that 'acceptable'?　

"The leftover bathwater could probably be sold..."

"I think that would sell for a different reason, so maybe not?"

As I was having such silly thoughts, the tentacles suddenly shot out of the water with great force.

They wriggled and seemed to be sizing me up... 

"Oh? Looks like they're grateful ♡ It seems they'll even clean your ears as a thank you ♡"

"You understand their words too? Wait, what? Hold on, listen to me—!?"　

Something slimy and sticky clung to the edge of my ear, polishing it, and I instinctively tried to shake it off…

"—!? Ah♡ Not my ears♡"

Come to think of it, I'd forgotten I was entangled by suction-cup-shaped tentacles.

They were holding me so tightly, I couldn't break free by force…　

"Lux!? Ah♡ Is there no way to stop them!?"

"They're not my children, after all… Hmm, by force?"

"That wouldn't make sense…♡"　

I didn't want to hurt them in response to their kind actions.

But, ahh♡ If this continues any longer... it'll be bad♡

"My, my ears are an erogenous zone... no, no, don't look♡"

"Oh? Hmm...it's fine, you know? There are people who use them for that purpose..."

"I'm not okay with it... ahh♡"

Something rod-shaped is playing with my ear canal, making a squelching sound.

"Ahh, it's squelching me♡ Tentacles deep inside my ear...♡"

The finely branched tentacles gently clean the walls of my ear canal.

It's almost like a caress.

The slimy, unpleasant sensation, combined with the pleasure, makes my body heat up.

The tentacles, which had intensified as if making a final sprint, were then pulled out in one swift motion with a gulp!

"---Ahhh♡ Ah, ahhh♡"

The flabby flesh held down by the tentacles trembled.

Oh no, oh no, everyone... is watching♡

"Hehe... I'll call a staff member ♡"
