"… You caught all that?" My father asked us, and the girls and I nodded.
We hid a couple of meters away, just barely within earshot of the two demon guards. Those who could use Shadow Magic used invisibility, while those who didn't used the Cloaks of Invisibility we had. It was clear—the city of Nazeroth was hiding something. A something that recently occurred in the city, and required such confidentiality.
"… So? What's the plan now?" Yu An Yan asked.
"I can charm the guards to let us in, but…" Eve began, trailing off.
"… It will not be enough, if we want to get all of us inside the city," I replied. "In other words, we can only have… maybe four people maximum."
Nael nodded. "Lady Eve must be one of them, I will be another as the guide, and…"
"Kai Kai and I will be the last two," my father said. "Everyone else, it'd be best if you retreated to the plane for now."
"Understood," Mei Gui said, glancing at me. "I will take everyone back using Space Magic. Is that alright, master?"
I nodded. "Sounds good. Stay safe."
"Understood. You too."
Once they left without any complaints, my father looked at me with a wry grin and wiggled his eyebrows a bit.
"So, you're into that kind of play, huh?"
I frowned. "What?"
"Maid… master…" He whispered, and I needed to hold back my urge to slap him.
"The recording…" I whispered back in the same way, and he immediately shut up, buckling his knees like he'd just seen a ghost.
"Now… forgive me for interrupting, but we should get moving, no?" Eve intruded with a smile, and we both nodded in agreement.
*****
While the three of us hid in a nearby place, Eve alone went back up to the guards, figure shaking side to side alluringly as she walked. Every tiny movement she made was on purpose to make her more seductive, and her smile was slight, playful.
"Heya~" She waved to the two, winking.
"Wait, it's you…" The two guards said, exchanging glances before looking at Eve—a specific part of her in particular, around her chest area. "W-Why are you back here…?"
"Oh, I dropped something here and came back to get it," Eve replied with an innocent, beautiful smile. "I think it's… oh, it's right there!"
Saying that, she bent down forward, purposely shaking her bosom a little, and the two demon guards did their best not to look, getting nosebleeds in the process. Eve smirked like a devil.
"Now, for the final touch…"
"H-Huh?" The guards were confused at her words, but it was too late. She suddenly looked both of them in the eyes, and they froze still, hearts beating out of their chests.
"Now… you will obey me, and do whatever I say," she continued, whispering into their ears.
"Yes…" They replied, voices delusional. "We will obey you… and do whatever you say…"
With a smile, Eve turned her head slightly to where the rest of us were hiding, and flashed a playful wink.
The deed was done.
*****
Soon, Eve, Nael, my father, and I entered the city of Nazeroth. With the help of Eve's charm, the guards let us in without any question, and no memory of what even happened.
Inside, the city was beautiful.
Perhaps that was a wrong choice of words, as not everyone liked this type of architectural style, but it was exactly like a medieval town, with a castle up ahead in the distance. Before that, though, there was also a ring of mansions surrounding a fountain. Six, to be particular.
"Those are…"
"The six Royal Houses," Nael replied before I could even finish my sentence. "That is known as the Ring of Nobles."
"I see… how interesting," I muttered. "But now that we're in the city… where are we going to go to find information about my mother?"
We spoke quietly, and all four of us wore our combat getups. My father looked the most imposing and extruded an aura of pure dominance, but Eve was the most eye-catching with her alluring curves and perfect features. Nael was just a normal demon, and I, on the other hand, looked pretty shabby compared to the others, in my seemingly worn and old robes as part of the Yharnav set.
"Information brokers," Nael said calmly. "There is no shortage of them around here, but most are scams and will feed you unwarranted, fake information. However, if you know the right place to look…"
"Do you know the right place to look?" My father asked.
"… No, I do not."
"…"
"…"
Both father and son were utterly left speechless at the stupidity of what we just witnessed. Given his tone of voice, one would assume he knew 'the right place to look', but apparently not.
"Don't worry, honey," Eve whispered her hot breath into my ear, leaning onto my arm. "I know where to look."
"You do?" My father asked in surprise, having overheard her.
"Yes. Two locations. One is right up ahead, in that shadowy tavern there. The other is a bit further away. To save time, I propose we split up," Eve said. "Is that alright…?"
"Fine by me," Nael stated.
"Alright. In that case, I will go with Nael to the tavern," my father said. "Kai Kai, you're with Eve."
"Uh, wai-" I began, but my father was already off. I was left alone with Eve in the middle of the streets, being stared at by dozens of lustful men, and slowly, I turned to her.
"… Did you do that on purpose so you could be alone with me, or do you actually know the locations?"
Eve giggled and nibbled on my ear a little, causing me to shiver.
"Both," she whispered.
*****
Soon, we arrived at…
"… A love hotel. Are you kidding me?"
"Why, you don't like it?" Eve asked, fakely pouting. "That hurts my feelings, you know…"
"Shut up. Why would an information broker be here? You just lured me here to have sex, didn't you?"
"Tsk, tsk," she clicked her tongue. "Amateur. You see, selling information is a very… intricate trade. It requires a lot of caution, and secrecy. And do you know what's one thing all love hotels offer that most other places do not?"
I arched an eyebrow. "… Privacy?"
"Bingo~!" Eve smiled happily. "There are no security cameras or any form of wiretapping here. Moreover, no one would think an information broker would use something like a love hotel as their base of operations, no?"
"I… suppose that's true…" I murmured. It was hard to think anyone would use something like a love hotel to do just about anything except… well, making love.
"Let's head inside, then," Eve urged, tugging on my arm with a wink. "Just trust me, mkay?"
I was skeptical about 'trusting' a succubus, and the queen of them all no less, but it's not like I had much of a choice. With a sigh, I followed her lead and entered the love hotel, where the female receptionist was immediately stunned and paused everything else she was doing as soon as she saw Eve.
"We're here to book a room," Eve said with a bright smile. "Are there any vacant rooms?"
"Ah…" The girl was too stunned to speak, still busy admiring Eve's beauty with flushed cheeks, and Eve had to wave in front of her a little.
"Hello~? Are there any vacant rooms?"
"H-Huh? O-Oh, yes! Sorry! I… erm, don't know what happened there…" The receptionist frantically apologized, and went back to work, busy scrolling through the list of checked out rooms.
"Let's see… there are vacant rooms open. What kind do you want?"
"I want room 4636, please," Eve replied, and the receptionist was confused for a moment.
"E-Eh…? 4636…? What kind of room is th-"
But suddenly, she was pulled away from the counter by an older-looking woman, stone-cold, and replaced.
"… Follow me," the new woman said, not fazed by Eve's beauty.
"Huh…? Manager? What's going on here…"
"Focus on your own job," the newer woman scolded. "I will take over these two customers from here."
"O-Oh, I see, okay…" The younger receptionist whimpered like a sad puppy, and I did feel somewhat pitiful for her, working under a woman like this.
"Now…" The older woman turned back to us. "Please follow me."
Saying this, she stepped out from behind the counter, and headed towards the elevators. Eve shot me a wink accompanied by a wry smile, and she pulled me along with her to follow the receptionist.
Once we arrived in the elevator, the receptionist shut the doors, then pressed a seemingly random sequence of buttons on the elevator panel. It was immensely long, and the elevator refused to move until the sequence was finished.
But before I knew it, the doors rolled open once more, and we were on a completely new floor.
"What… I didn't even feel the elevator move…" I muttered, glancing around in awe. Eve giggled at my innocence, and pulled me into a hug, rubbing her breasts against my face.
"Fufu~ you're really cute sometimes, you know, Xuan Kai… that's the beauty of it."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"… You caught all that?" My father asked us, and the girls and I nodded.
We hid a couple of meters away, just barely within earshot of the two demon guards. Those who could use Shadow Magic used invisibility, while those who didn't used the Cloaks of Invisibility we had.
