“Ugh….”
Suddenly, the steak I was eating became hard to swallow.
It wasn’t that I was choking, but it felt like I suddenly was.
For real.
I had talked about marriage with Kyle once or twice, but never to the extent that it would reach the ears of the Eristirol Duke.
After all, it was such an incredibly important matter.
Naturally, I had to proceed carefully and slowly.
Plus, these days, Kyle and I were mostly just enjoying being back in Eristirol.
“That was a bit surprising.”
“Me too… I didn’t expect my father to say something like that.”
“It’s a good thing, but… now that it’s out of the blue, it’s hard to react.”
“It literally means we should just handle it ourselves. We’ll be fine.”
Is that so?
Hearing Kyle’s words made it seem like a decent idea.
But neither I nor Kyle could guarantee that there wouldn’t be any interference.
Adults tend to do that.
Even if they say they won’t interfere, when they feel frustrated, they eventually will.
“Either way, it’s not like we’re doing anything right away, so we can think it over slowly.”
“Yeah.”
“Marriage… I’m still not used to it.”
Seriously, it was a word I had a hard time adjusting to.
Marriage, really?
I never thought I would get married in this life after not even doing so in my past life.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say I excluded the very idea of marriage from my life.
That’s why the current situation felt so strange and astonishing.
“To think it would be with you….”
If I told professionals about this, would they stab me?
To have a relationship where a teacher and student are getting married… it’s truly one of the worst things you could do as an educator.
Of course, it was all too late now.
“But it’s good, right?”
“Well, yeah.”
I didn’t refute that.
Because it wasn’t a wrong statement.
Somehow, I ended up liking him, and thanks to that, we were even getting married—it was just fascinating.
No matter how I thought about it, getting into this kind of relationship with him was more surprising and ridiculous than any tale involving succubi.
If I had told my past self about this three years ago… I probably would have been mistaken for a monster and buried right there.
“Just eat. Don’t laugh.”
“Got it.”
Kyle was giggling for some reason.
It wasn’t bad to see, but right now, I just wanted to spend some time comfortably rather than discuss marriage.
I would have to hear about what happened today even if I didn’t ask, but now… it was time for a normal date with Kyle.

“….”
It felt a bit like it had been a while.
Even though entering here still felt incredibly awkward, I was starting to become a little used to it.
After all, I had come here quite a bit, right?
Sometimes, I even slept in the Inn before coming in at night.
“Sigh… What a pain. I don’t even know how to get out, so I can’t leave.”
I could come in at will, and I could leave too, without any premonition.
I genuinely didn’t know how to do it.
Even without wanting to enter Kyle’s dreams, I just came in, so how could I know?
“And… why is he always naked….”
The real problem, as always, was Kyle.
Whenever something went wrong with me, it usually ended up being one of us, and most of the time, it was him.
Of course, if we looked closely, it was probably my problem too since I was the one with the blood of a succubus.
But I thought it was more problematic that Kyle always appeared naked in my dreams.
Anyway.
“At least it’s a relief that I didn’t meet him in a grown-up form….”
If that had happened, it would have been tough in many ways.
What I felt here wasn’t just five minutes; it seemed like I was here for at least one or two hours.
Well, it only felt that way.
When I ended up doing nothing and simply staying still, it felt like that much time had passed.
In reality, it was probably even longer.
“…Still, that’s a bit much, isn’t it?”
Is that the standard size in this fantasy world?
Even if people’s appearances were westernized based on my past life, it was just too…
“…”
Every time I entered, I thought about this—this was definitely a problem.
It was impossible not to notice.
Common sense would dictate that if you were walking down the street and suddenly encountered a massive eight-story T-Rex model, it would naturally draw your attention, right?
That’s how ridiculous my current situation was.
It was truly unavoidable, that kind of situation.
“Hurry up….”
I wanted to get out.
I just needed to do something and leave quickly.
But since I had no clue how to work the gimmick, I was stuck here.
I wanted to stop staring at that damned phallic thing.
Putting aside liking Kyle and having a good impression of him, if I stared at that thing for hours, wouldn’t I naturally feel like this?
It was only natural.
“….”
Suddenly, a bizarre yet refreshing and daring idea popped into my head.
But I couldn’t execute it immediately.
The idea was absurd, and yet quite rational, but at the same time, it felt utterly insane.
“…”
The problem was, surprisingly, that this method had the highest probability of getting me out of here when executed.
Really.
“Wait, no… yeah, even so….”
I slightly lowered my gaze to sneak a look at Kyle’s.
Then, I looked back up at the ceiling, which was completely blank.
Even if being here felt tedious and annoying, the thought of touching Kyle’s something was undoubtedly a sign of madness.
“A-But… I’m a succubus….”
Succubi enter dreams primarily to obtain a man’s essence.
Using the term “essence” might sound fancy, but it literally meant sperm.
There was no other way around it; a succubus could simply sneak into a sleeping man’s… uh, whatever that is called? Anyway, that was the reason for being here.
So, for a moment, I thought, ‘What if I just give it a poke?’, but I quickly dismissed the idea.
Even if that method might be appropriate, I would absolutely not follow through.
No way in hell.
Even if Kyle and I were dating, this was going too far.
Touching a defenseless Kyle was going to be problematic in many ways, and we weren’t that far along, to begin with!
There was no reason to follow through with a crazy thought like touching his member.
“Huh… Let’s calm down. I’m having weird thoughts because I’m too excited.”
Yes… calming down was the priority.
I took a deep breath to settle my excitement.
“…huff… ha….”
I closed my eyes and inhaled slowly through my nose, exhaling afterward.
Doing this made me feel a bit more collected than before.
Maybe it was because I had my eyes closed, or maybe it was because I was breathing slowly.
“…sniff… sniff….”
I don’t know what it was, but I felt better than before.
For now.
But somehow…. I felt an incredibly sweet aroma.
It was a scent I had occasionally encountered before.
Was there cake inside?
No, that didn’t seem right.
Inside my consciousness, there was only the bed and Kyle.
“…sniff….”
I didn’t know what it was, but my body began to move on its own.
Slowly following the direction of the scent… very slowly.
“…sniff….”
Even though I wasn’t a huge fan of sweet foods, the aroma instinctively drew me in.
As proof, my body began to inch towards the direction of the scent.
Gradually moving downwards.
But at the same time, not too far down.
Since I was on the bed, I was probably a little away from Kyle.
A hot yet sweet scent enveloped me.
What the hell kind of scent was stimulating my nose like this?
With my eyes closed… slowly savoring the scent… I moved closer and felt the warmth right in front of me.
“…”
I instinctively reached out to touch it.
I didn’t even know what it was, but it felt firm yet somewhat soft.
“…huff….”
But at some point, I started to feel tingling all over my body.
I didn’t understand.
Not understanding the situation I was in, nor the identity of what I had just touched.
I felt my consciousness starting to morph into something strange, and my head began to feel foggy.
Just like… something out of a book…
*
“…….”
Shit.
“…….”
Shit.
I was silently cursing my brains out.
Since early morning, no, since before dawn.
After all, next to me was Kyle, sleeping peacefully with no clue about anything.
Making loud noises was not an option.
Even if Kyle was awake, I wouldn’t be able to do anything.
Ah, and just to clarify, I was cursing at myself.
It had to be me.
Because I couldn’t curse at defenseless Kyle in my consciousness.
Plus, if anyone asked me why I was cursing, I wouldn’t have a way to respond.
I just felt like I was losing my mind.
“….”
For now, I quietly slipped out of bed.
Lying here didn’t feel right.
I naturally moved my body and stepped out of the room, heading towards the bathroom very normally.
And….
“You crazy bastard!!!!!!”
Inside the empty bathroom, I began to tug at my hair.
While swearing like crazy.
“Shit…. No matter how much of a dream it is, that shouldn’t have happened…. If only I managed to hold back just a little longer….”
In a moment of realization, it struck me what I had done just a few seconds after opening my eyes.
Maybe I didn’t want to accept it, or perhaps my brain was just slow to sync up, but it felt like I was going insane.
“Shit…. Shit…! No way I touched that and….”
Even speaking about this, it was hard to articulate.
For real.
I wanted to believe that everything that happened from last night till dawn was a lie, a dream, a delusion… something along those lines.
That I willingly touched a man’s… that I touched it…
“Ughhhhhh…!!!”
But that wasn’t possible.
Even in my consciousness, I could clearly feel the warmth and hardness… that sensation was too real.
And there was even more concrete evidence reflecting back at me.
Even though it was just a release, and I merely touched sleeping Kyle… I could already feel the difference in my state.
For real….
“Shit….”
I wanted to die….
