Broken Possessors of Infinite Regression Academy

“I’m sorry, Young Master…… sniff.”

Nika, who had been scolded for being rude to the master, sniffed and apologized.

If I hadn’t stopped Beatrice, it would have been much worse. The look on her face said that the scolding would have been much longer.

“……Ahem, ahem. For me to be in such a relationship with Young Master…… It’s absolutely impossible for a maid.”

The reason Nika had reacted like that was because she thought Mira and Beatrice were in a secret relationship. She thought they were staging a play and sneaking around to enjoy a tryst.

Beatrice cherished Mira as more than just a master, and Mira trusted Beatrice as more than just a maid. Enough to know his true identity.

Their posture was also conducive to such misunderstandings.

It was a good guess, but it was wrong.

It was true that they had a very special relationship, but that was because Beatrice had played the role of a mother to Mira for almost half of his childhood.

Having spent almost half of her childhood with Beatrice, it was natural that their relationship was much more special than that of a master and a maid. It would be stranger if it wasn’t.

“What just happened was just Young Master scolding this inadequate and lacking maid. Do you understand?”

“But your face was so red……”

“How dare you question my words!!!!!”

“Heek! I’m wrong! Forgive me!”

Nika tried to refute, trying to prove that her guess was not wrong, but she quickly bowed down again. Beatrice, who had turned away from Mira, was fanning herself with her hand.

“Nika Yustera.”

“Yes, yes! Maid-nim!”

“Please take good care of Young Master and return to the mansion.”

“Yes! I understand!”

Her eyes glanced at Mira. She still didn’t look directly at Mira.

“I’ll go ahead, Young Master. Your friends might be waiting, so hurry back.”

“Oh, yeah. Sure.”

Beatrice, who didn’t even glance at Nika, who was lying on the floor, bowed to Mira and hurried back into the mansion. Nika sighed with relief.

Then she got up and glanced at Mira, then cautiously opened her mouth.

“Um…… Young Master. Or should I say, Master?”

“What?”

“The purple-haired friend who was in the room…… Is she the one I’m guessing?”

The reason she asked such a question was that she had noticed that Mira was the Demon King and was trembling with fear. There was no reason to deny it, so Mira nodded.

“Yes. She’s the Demon King.”

“……It’s rude of me to ask, but why is the Demon King here?”

Mira hesitated for a moment. The answer that she was a reincarnator was completely out of the question, and she couldn’t think of any other answer.

“You won’t like what you hear, but do you really want to know?”

So, he decided not to answer. After all, their master-servant relationship was clear.

“No! I don’t want to know! Nika knows nothing!”

Nika shook her head vigorously.

-Crack!

Her chest heaved vigorously, and the button at the bottom popped off. Between the torn buttons, her white skin, large cleavage, and the deep valley between them were revealed.

“……”

Nika, who had suddenly exposed her chest, froze for a moment, then, as if she had made a decision, looked directly at Mira.

With her right thumb and forefinger, she spread open the cleavage that was exposed. The warm air trapped between them escaped, carrying Nika’s unique body scent.

“You can, you can lick it……”

“……I don’t need an explanation, so why did you do that?”

Nika explained that it was like a succubus’ instinct. Just as humans salivate when they think of delicious food.

“I have a contract of obedience with the Master, so I can’t help it……”

Nika stammered an excuse.

Normally, she should be able to control herself, but because of the obedience spell, she could only do such things with Mira, so she was in a state of unsatisfied desire, and it just popped out without her realizing it.

“I heard that I was a maid working as your night partner, so my body is really changing to fit that role……”

“Night partner maid? What’s that?”

There used to be rumors about Nika being a maid for that purpose. That Mira had chosen Nika as a maid for that purpose.

The other maids had all been selected through rigorous testing and trials, but Nika had become a maid at Mira’s word, so it seemed unfair to those who had passed the difficult tests.

Moreover, as a succubus, Nika had a body that was not just good, but violently attractive, so malicious speculation had been distorted and spread as truth.

“Why didn’t you tell Beatrice?”

“Huh? Was I supposed to tell Maid-nim about my praise? I’m sorry, I didn’t know I was supposed to……”

“Praise?”

“It’s a compliment to say that my body is good at seducing men.”

“……”

“……Isn’t it?”

Mira suddenly realized that she was a succubus. Of course, for a succubus, such a remark would be a compliment.

That’s why Beatrice didn’t stop the rumors. She didn’t know because Nika didn’t tell her. And the maids probably didn’t gossip in front of the maid-nim.

Mira decided to clear up the misunderstanding later and returned to the mansion. Beatrice sighed deeply as she saw the button on the maid’s uniform pop off.

“May I have a moment?”

On the night of Friday turning to Saturday, Elysier came.

Elysier, who appeared through the dimensional gate, saw Priscilla sleeping soundly next to Mira with only a shirt and underwear on, and flinched. He took the initiative to speak first.

“There’s nothing like what you’re thinking. I sleep with her because she can only sleep comfortably when I’m by her side. The reason she sleeps like this is because the original Priscilla slept like this.”

“I fully understand. She has repeated far more regressions than you, so it’s a miracle that she has maintained her self.”

Elysier leaned against the window frame, remembering the Priscilla who had constantly craved Mira’s ‘warmth’. He stroked Priscilla’s cheek and asked.

“Why are you here? Do you need more cake?”

Elysier coughed as Mira asked, remembering how she had eaten three cakes by herself at dinner time.

“No, I don’t need any more cake. I came to talk about something.”

“I have a story to tell. It’s about the maid and the Hero. If your eyes are not mistaken, the maid who called herself Nika Yustera was a succubus.”

“You saw correctly. Yes, she’s a succubus.”

I briefly explained what had happened with Nika.

Since she was a succubus who had never killed a human, I had spared her by engraving an obedience spell, and Elysier nodded alone.

“I understand the reason.”

“What reason?”

“Why she has never had a succubus’ kiss. Do you know that the current Succubus Queen, Astaroth, is an extremely old existence?”

“No. It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”

There was very little information about demons. The information that Priscilla and Rosalia could provide was extremely limited to what they had personally heard or seen.

“The Succubus Queen usually goes through a process called ‘succession’ about every three hundred years. The purpose of succession is to amplify the power and abilities of the Queen by having the previous Queen pass on all her abilities to the next Queen, and in the process, the previous Queen dies of old age.”

“But?”

“However, the current Succubus Queen, Astaroth, has maintained her position for over a thousand years. At least, that’s what I knew when I was reincarnated.”

“……How?”

“Now that I’ve seen the maid, I can tell. Astaroth’s words are false.”

Elysier’s eyes shone.

“It’s a direct denial of the customs of the succubi to have a succubus with the bloodline of the Queen, yet not have the succession take place. Isn’t it?”

“Nika is? You can feel the bloodline of the Queen?”

Mira was surprised and asked. In the process, she unconsciously stroked Priscilla’s cheek, and Priscilla, who was half-asleep, wriggled her face and mumbled.

Mira stroked her cheek again to calm her down and asked.

“So, does that mean that Nika was supposed to be the next Succubus Queen?”

“She probably would have. You said she’s never had a succubus’ kiss, right? It’s clear that Astaroth has been deliberately interfering to prevent the awakening of the Queen’s bloodline. Because the succubi awaken through the succubus’ kiss, and it’s also clear that Astaroth has maintained her position for over a thousand years by doing the same thing to other candidates who have appeared so far. It’s ridiculous to say that she’s strong enough to do that.”

The puzzle pieces in Mira’s head fell into place.

The fact that the succubus had never had a succubus’ kiss because her mother had died, as the Chairman had said, and the fact that the current Queen had maintained her position for over a thousand years, as Elysier had said.

It all made sense if Astaroth had been trying to suppress Nika, who was a candidate for the next Queen.

The mystery was solved. There was a reason why a succubus who had never had a succubus’ kiss was involved in that operation.

If it succeeded, it would be good, and if it failed, it would be good for the Queen to have a threat to her position eliminated.

However, not all the mysteries were solved.

“……But, Elysier, why didn’t she just kill her instead of keeping her alive? It would be much cleaner to kill her than to leave her alone.”

“That’s not my area of expertise. I will do my best to help you, so later, when you capture her, ask her yourself. And, don’t tell her about this. There’s no point in knowing.”

“I understand. So, what’s the story about the Hero?”

Elysier, who had been silent for a moment, opened her mouth with a slightly subdued voice.

“Can you find a way to break the Demon Sword?”
