How long had it been since she was able to enjoy the freedom of being able to leave the hospital without having a worried Gerard or a nurse chasing after her to beckon her back inside? The news that she was officially considered healed was reassuring, to say the least, but the fact that it was not exactly a natural recovery was a less pleasant revelation.

Of course she didn't tell the doctor about it, She wanted to, planned to even but whenever she was on the verge of trying to tell them something stopped her, an insecure feeling overwhelming her as she changed the subject.

Indeed, the girl known as Esperia Von Eisenberg was not an ordinary human being. It were words spoken by another person, of course, she didn't know what the Alpha of that pack meant with those words, at least not till that encounter. She briefly closed her eyes, feeling her mind reaching for something, or rather someone when suddenly she felt as if her reality had slipped into two halves.

At one side she was still standing beneath the shade of a large tree within Baska, but part of her consciousness, of her very soul, had slipped into a different place. A stylish throne-room surrounded her, and on top of the grandiose throne 'she' was seated.


"How unusual~ It's not often that you visit me out of your own initiative~" The mysterious being hummed in amusement, a hand resting on the arm of the throne while the other was rested against her cheek. "What can I do for you today darling~"

For a moment Esperia found her body tensing up, feeling as if the 'danger' level of this lady was at an equal level as a certain busty lady that was her senior at the Blue Pegasus guild, yet the nature of the danger was of an entirely different type.

"I want to know if you spoke the truth last time." Esperia's words coaxed a little chuckle from the lady, adjusting herself so she was now leaning somewhat forward, and for a moment Esperia averted her gaze to avoid noticing the not so subtle bounce of the demon her bust. "About what? I have only spoken of truth and facts since we finally started interacting~"

The words made Esperia shake her head firmly as she focused her gaze on the woman and after taking a deep breath replied in a tone that was oddly serious for her. "About whether you truly are what you claim to be. I don't... I won't permit you to endanger those I hold dear to me."

It appeared those words made a spark of interest stir in the demon as she rose from her seat and stepped forward, descending toward the obsidian-haired girl and inquired with a smirk. "How do you plan to confirm that?"

Of course, she knew just revealing the existence of this being to Fia or Liana would be too dangerous, so instead, she had to approach this with a different plan. "By getting the help of someone who will know how to deal with one like you."

And as if on cue she just saw the aforementioned lady jogging along the path that led to the small park, making Esperia raise a hand toward her with a waving gesture. "Alisa~" Hopefully this would be a good idea...

Alisa's concern was appreciated, to the point it made the lips of the obsidian-haired girl curve upwards into a little smile, but just as much as those thoughts were appreciated, they were also unneeded, something the girl soon explained with her usual soft and sweet-sounding voice. "Don't worry~ Don't worry~ The doctors discharged me yesterday." The girl explained as she pulled her hands gently behind her back, fingers hooking together as she took a step forward to stop right in front of the sculptress. "But that's part of the reason I came to seek you out." The girl admitted with a hint of hesitation in her voice. She was still uncertain about her plan, and she could feel the demon stirring in amusement within her mind, but right now was not the time for insecurities, she had to do this if she wanted to protect those dear to her.

"Are you busy right now?" The girl inquired with a little smile as she gestured with a swaying motion of her hand toward the nearby path with the intention for them to continue walking so that Alisa could continue her exercising in a way.

"You likely heard it from the doctors or Lia... About the fact that it's unnatural for me to have survived those injuries." She smiled weakly as she took a few steps forwards before continuing. "The injury to my back should have left me paralyzed for the rest of my life, and the Lycan curse should have killed me the moment my body rejected the change into one." It was a harsh truth, but she was clearly aware that her survival had not been a normal something. "Nothing short of a miracle everyone calls it." She smiled briefly, seemingly looking as if she was glad she had indeed survived, but after a moment she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "But it wasn't a miracle that saved me."

Ominous words for sure, but she planned to clarify the meaning of them and so she opened her eyes, gazing straight into Alisa's own as she confessed. "The truth is that someone saved me..." A hand raised to her own chest, her fingers resting at the spot her heart was at when she explained with a tone that clearly betrayed her concern and restlessness. "Someone who is inside me..." The girl whispered softly, recalling the earlier encounter with the demon as she continued.

"She calls herself 'Asmodeus', but I don't think that's her real name. I can't really describe it, but it's as if I know her, but her name slips out of my reach... Like, I never met her before till that dream while I was in a comatose, but yet she feels so familiar, as if I have known her my entire life."

The girl finally stopped, her body trembling lightly as she reached with a hand for Alisa's own, hoping to grasp it gently to find some reassurance when she continued. "But she scares me... I don't know who she is, or what she truly wants. I... I'm scared of what she might do to those I care for."

Her gaze shifted slightly to the side, as if she felt ashamed to admit what she was about to tell. "I'm too terrified of the consequences her existence might cause... Both to Lia and Fia..." The latter was a name likely unfamiliar to Alisa, but Esperia's thoughts were too chaotic right now to realize as she pleaded softly. "Can you please talk to her? Figure out who she is, what she is and what she wants?"

Alisa's explanation made a lot of sense, in the end even her sister who had been a Holy Knight believed that it was not the origins of a power, but its wielder that decided the true nature of the ability at their disposal. "Stay true to my path..." The words brought a little smile to her lips as she continued with a cheerful tone. "Of course I want to continue being with Lia and Fia no matter what happens!" It was obvious what type of path the girl would travel, a path surrounded by love and friendship, in the end, despite her past and perverted nature there was no denying that Esperia was a gentle soul at heart and possessed a strong moral compass.

However, Alisa's comment stirred something else inside the girl, about how she would not need to fear this power, that she should never let it have power over her. Determination emerged within her heart while she nodded her head firmly in response. "I understand, I'll try to call her out."

Esperia whispered with a nervous smile on her lips as she rose from the bench and took a few steps forwards, taking a little spinning turn at the spot so that she now faced her senior. For a moment the girl tilted her head slightly to the side, a hand resting against her cheek as she pondered about something. Taking a deep breath the girl suddenly shifted her pose lightly, a swaying motion with her hand following as she spoke just loud enough for the two to hear her. "Come Forth: Asmodeus!"

.
...
....

But nothing happened? Blinking in confusion the girl's cheeks flushed up into a crimson hue as she fidgeted slightly on the spot. "I-I-I don't know how to do this!" She briefly looked at Alisa with a pleading look that would have reminded one of a puppy when suddenly she heard something in her mind. A familiar voice whispering a long-forgotten word, and almost as if she was trapped within a daze her eyes softened their gaze, a hand resting on top of her chest as she whispered softly, her voice turning as sweet as honey as one word left her lips. "Luxuria"

It seemed this had been the keyphrase the duo had been looking for, because all of a sudden a cocoon of obsidian light started to coil around her, an intense magical energy pulsing from within and yet after a moment the cocoon seemed to implode inwards, the energy molding around a humanoid figure that finally revealed itself, or rather herself.

A tall obsidian-haired female revealed itself, yet to call it a mere human would have been the greatest understatement of the century. Her tall and slender frame, pure almost silken-like skin that was free from scars or blemishes, the yellow irises that gazed at Alisa with a mixture of excitement and curiosity, the ample well-developed bust that was nicely contained within a long white dress and the exotic almost intoxicating scent of the stranger were already enough to describe her looks as otherworldly alluring, and the pair of horns that rested on top of her head confirmed it was clearly not a human. Yet, her first choice of words likely would have stirred a hint of curiosity within the Femme Fatale.

The stranger's gaze focused on Alisa, a hand cupping her cheek in the similar gesture Esperia did earlier when she was thinking when the female spoke. "Hmm, so that's her plan? It's a logical decision to make. After all, out of everyone we know you're the one who knows how to handle me the best... isn't that right, A~Li~Sa?" Slowly stepping forward the demon smiled playfully at her, each fragment of her senior's name causing a slight sway of the temptress her body till she stopped right before Alisa.

"Still, it's been quite a while since I took this form... Hmm yes, I think it's likely been... nineteen years?" Hands playfully folded behind her back as she leaned toward Alisa and hummed softly. "But you're unlikely here to compliment me on the fact I retained my charming looks, right?"

A little mischievous giggle escaped her lips as her eyes softened their gaze and she whispered temptingly. "But I'm feeling like a nice girl lately, so I'll play along with the 'Questions' Game~ I'll even throw in a little bonus: The name people gave me is 'Asmodeus', but... I'm not exactly... the same Asmodeus from your stories~ At least, not anymore~" The demon hummed with a smile.

Yep, it seemed Alisa would have her hands full with this 'Asmodeus'!

A hearty chuckle escaped the demon her lips, clearly amused at Alisa's words, and with a spark of mischief in her eyes she replied in a playful melodious tone. "My dear Alisa~ We both already know well enough that out of all people Esperia knows you're the one who is most talented at dealing with perverts and playing the teasing game, and I can assure you that both those talents are highly in demand when dealing with me."

A playful hum followed as she clapped her hands together in a joyeous gesture, a sheepish grin on her lips. "Mai~ Mai~ You do know how to flatter my dear, then again I'd say you're quite stunning yourself."

Yet as their conversation continued the demon was asked about her name, causing the woman to puff out her cheeks in a playful pout. "Bingo~ Still, didn't take you long to figure out~" Yet what followed was something curious, a question that went straight to the point, making her smile fade away for a moment as she pondered with a more serious expression upon her face. "What I want with Esperia hmm?" It was an understandable question to ask, and after a moment the demon's eyes softened a little as she hummed softly. "I guess the closest answer I can give to you that isn't a sugar-coated lie would be: To ensure the little girl's survival~"

Yet after a moment, her lips curved up into a little grin as she asked with a clear hint of amusement in her tone. "But I bet you're not satisfied with an answer as vague as that. In the end, it would be akin to teasing that leaves you all high and dry."

She smiled warmly while stretching her arms upwards into the air, the motion pushing her bust slightly forwards as she continued as if she was having a casual conversation with a friend.

"The Eisenberg family has played my jailer for generations, silly little church thought that sealing me inside a human being and keeping them within their grasp was just the solution they needed. Clearly, they are a bit overconfident if they think restraining me is that simple~"

A soft chuckle followed at those words, and judging from their tone it was clear she was mocking them, even if somewhat playfully. "It became a recurring thing really, the Eisenberg were given a special magical ritual that led to their offspring to always be girls, one each generation being chosen as my vessel. For generations, it's been like this, but then something happened even I couldn't expect."

She wrapped her arms lightly around herself, her cheeks flushing up lightly as she spoke, her tone softening and just from the way she was speaking it clearly was evident the emotions she felt right now were much more intense than before.

"A host appeared whose compatibility with me was off the charts~ She's such a precious cupcake. Surely you must have noticed Alisa~ The fact that little Espy is overflowing with lust." A playful giggle escaped her lips as she continued. "Lust and love are so close to one another, and it's when both cross the boundaries that they become the most delicious."

She licked her lips like a hungry predator while she explained a bit further. "Isn't it curious how someone with no experience has such a desire for romance, such a lust for it even, to the point it is akin to an obsession. That night at the Halloween party was when I understood her compatibility."

She grinned while stepping backward, a little spin of her body briefly causing her to face Alisa with her back as she hummed softly. "Oh how much she desires and loves her at the same time, but her adoration for her best friend restrain her."

She turned to Alisa, slowly stepping toward her till she attempted to quite sensually straddle down onto the Femme Fatale. "But the stronger those feelings became, the stronger my presence stirred. But then a little problematic thing happened: She nearly got herself killed~"

She shook her head lightly, an unusual look of regret on her face, but something seemed a bit off about the sorrowful expression. "As a result I had to step in and lend a hand by properly coming out of hiding from the deepest reaches of her soul~ Why exactly did I do this? In the end, if Esperia dies without a offspring I'd be free once more..."

And then it happened, her lips curving into a mischievous grin of enjoyment as she revealed her reason why. "It's because my greatest desire is the very girl whose body I possess. I want to see where her journey takes her, the consequences of her desires, her answers to them... but above all, the lust she feels is of such a pure quality it makes even me get wet~"

Yet considering the first question to be properly answered she inquired with a grin. "Now it's my turn to ask a question~ Say Alisa, do you know what would happen to Esperia if she was unwilling or unable to act upon her lustful feelings?"

Slowly she leaned forward, pressing her bosom against the Blue Pegasus senior while she whispered temptingly, not without trying to take a little nip at the lady's ear at the end of her sentence. "She'd get herself killed."

Finally, she pulled back and looked to see the reaction of the crystal sculptress. "And this I can assure you is no lie: The source of my power, is lust~ As a result those emotions are very powerful, to the point that if they are left unsatisfied it will start to harm Esperia, to the point that a long-term resistance would kill her without failure, even I can't aid her then."

She gently raised her hands in an effort to press them on Alisa's shoulders while whispering softly. "So what's your next question my dear~"

A little giggle escaped the demon her lips as the sculptress mentioned giving her points for honesty, clearly amused at their little exchange as she listened to Alisa’s melodic voice trailing off into a charming giggle, the words that followed coaxing a little grin from her lips as fingertips trailed tenderly to the crystal user’s cheek, whispering temptingly. “I can imagine one as famous as you would desire to unwind without caring about the consequences~ I wonder how much stress there might be hidden within that pretty form of yours~”

Yet as their conversation resumed onto the subject of Esperia and her story the demon her story revealed some grim truths, and yet one couldn’t help but wonder why there was an evident lack of scorn whenever she spoke about the girl. Instead when the subject of the Eisenberg changed to Esperia specifically the scorn melted for affection, albeit a somewhat twisted sort. It was true, while she detested being bound, there was also a silver lining to this situation, if she was unleashed upon the realm the Holy Knights would stir into motion for sure, and as much as she liked to dance and corrupt some noble heroes, she doubted she had the means to best them in combat without the unlikely alliance of the other demon lords. The hands that reached for her lustrous obsidian hair, idly twirling along it, yet the demon’s lips remained curved into a smile as if she was figuring something out.

With Alisa’s fingers gripping her shoulder lightly after the pleasant lusty nibble she gave her Lilith finally got a reaction, and one she briefly reveled in it. The shifting of Alisa’s body soon provoked an entirely different sensation, the pleasurable feeling as their bosoms pushed against each other, almost as if every breath and even the slightest of motions caused their bodies to touch in a way that would send an excitable sensation through their bodies, and she was confident that even with her arsenal of experience it should have coaxed a response from the sculptress, especially when Lilith hear the statement, causing her to lean in, just barely an inch away from their lips touching while she whispered softly. “Then we just got to make sure we’ll keep her safe to~ge~ther.” How long could Alisa resist? With the demon willing to release the full power of her presence and vice one might have thought she was rather eager to find out the things Alisa might have done to her given the opportunity. Yet it was only after Alisa had either acted or asked the question that Lilith’s hands moved, trailing lightly from the sculptress’s hips up along her arms and to her shoulders as she hummed softly.

“Theoretically Esperia has been my host since her birth. However, she has only become aware of my existence after the Lycan attack.” Fingers playfully trailed down to the sculptress her bust, a gentle push being made in an attempt to lower her back onto the bench while she looked at her with a tempting smile. “Now it’s my turn: We spoke about Esperia’s desires~ My desires, but what about yours… What could it be that such a beautiful yet dangerous lady like yourself desires?”

It appeared Lilith’s interest was noticeable stirred, well it wasn’t exactly difficult to doubt that considering how she was acting right now, but then again for a demon of lust it was understandable, being one that embodied the vice of lust and intense longing it was understandable that she would seek out those that interested her “What about your nature~ I have to admit that you’re one of the more fascinating mortals I had the pleasure of encountering...”

Lilith couldn’t help but smile at the amused laugh of Alisa, the way how she easily avoided the trap the demon had set before her, the bait that she had dangled before the young woman’s eyes, and yet she nimbly removed the lure from the bait and claimed it as her price.

There were not many who could boast about the fact the demon lord of lust had straddled them, in the end, most lacked the willpower to even last long enough to get to that point. Indeed, to the eyes of an onlooker the two might have been a lesbian couple getting a little too friskier and passionate than normally, yet in truth, the scene they saw was an entirely different spectacle, for it was a clash between two temptresses that was waiting to reach its climax.

Still, the pleasant expression of the sculptress didn’t change at all, something that only served to arouse Lilith further, the back and forth teasing causing her skin to feel warmer, that familiar pleasant crimson hue emerging on her cheeks from the temptation.

Yet Lilith was a demon lord of lust renown for her intense longing and lustful obsessions, and once she was interested in someone, she couldn’t help but pursue them. And Alisa’s defiance only served to stimulate her further. The teasing remark about Alisa getting asked to help her coaxed a smirk to emerge on the obsidian-haired demoness her lips, the back and forth as they applied more and less pressure on their chests only stirred jolts of pleasurable sensations through their body, especially considering how soft and well-developed their busts were.

“Perhaps it was indeed that~ Or maybe...” She paused as she applied a bit more pressure once more, hands trailing to the back of Alisa’s neck as she looked at her with quite a sultry look upon her face. “I was trying to tempt you for a more personal reason~”

The sheer willpower of Alisa was truly praiseworthy at this point, her ability to resist the temptations all the more making her desired by Lilith as she felt those song hands rest on her shoulder and some clever words being returned. It was true, despite all her power and experience Lilith was bound to the young and inexperienced Esperia, and as a result, her host caused the demon to be unable to draw forth her full potential… One could say that against an opponent like Alisa she was clearly… outmatched

The brushing against their cheeks came as a surprise, almost having expected something else, but yet the teasing comment of the sculptress as she made it clear that in her current state Lilith was no match for her caused the demon lord of lust to squirm lightly in excitement, the nails digging lightly into her shoulders, the rubbing of their bodies against one another,  the playful nibble on her neck… One could have expected what would happen next.

The moment Alisa leaned backward the demon moved forwards to intercept, an attempt to claim what she wanted in the form of seeking out Alisa’s lips, whether they made contact or not Lilith would lean back away and whisper temptingly. “Be careful my dear Alisa~ Esperia might have forced me to lie beneath you, squirming in delight but always remember...”

Her lips curved into a mischievous smirk as she continued. “My bed is a constant struggle, drop your guard for a moment and I’ll topple you onto your back~ And she is growing… growing at a much faster pace than either of us could imagine~ perhaps in due time… the power struggle will turn into my favor and makes you be the one to seek me out as a passionate lover hmm?”

The teasing gesture of the fingertips trailing up and down her spine coaxed a little soft from the demon, unmistakably a moan as she hummed with a smile. “I’d say that the first thing you already possess, the second is already quite close within your reach… but the third?”

Her smile widened a little as she continued. “There is no such thing as perfection, everything has its flaws, small or large, noticeable or hidden, it’s part of what makes mortals into mortals I guess~ However, I’d say that when it comes to techniques in bed I might be the closest to perfection that you might get.”

The demon coed with a little giggle yet the light tickling path along her spine and Alisa’s words coaxed a little grin from the demon. “You’ll have plenty to work toward then~ Not that I’d mind giving you all the time you desire for it~”

A mischievous smile lingered on her lips as she waited to see the end result to their little match. However, the demon still had a final trick in store~

Indeed, being the Demon Lord of lust meant she was, in essence, the embodiment of that what mortals perceived as one of the Seven Deathly Sins, but where one might see danger she only saw untapped potential, for lust by itself was both an incredible source of energy, but it was also a reason for motivation, both for demons and mortals alike. So it was to be expected that just as much as much as she tended to spread the essence of lust, so was she also the embodiment of it, literally dripping and overflowing with the feeling.

And for someone like Alisa that was clearly one of the sculptress her favorite ways of entertainment. The red coloring in her cheeks, the widening of her cat-like pupils, the warmth of their breaths and the occasional hum and mischievous giggle made it clear that the demon was enjoying herself, especially when she made that tangible squirm.

However, the finger that came to the front, almost like an obstacle made Lilith’s gaze settle into Alisa’s own, the expression of how she was flattered by the words and the arching of her back to press those pliable pillows a bit further against her was enough to coax a hearty laugh from the demon lord who let out a little hum in amusement. “Really? I wouldn’t be that sure of it~ To take one for a night is one matter… but for one like me to desire one for much longer is… a much rarer occasion. After all, the Demon Lord of lust is usually quite whimsical with her interests~”

The slow descent of the finger trailing down her spine, going lower and slower by the second as their faces were less than an inch apart stirred another squirm out of the demon. The accusing tone making her pout playfully while she felt the fingertip trail along her bottom lip, the moment she thought Alisa might have merely been teasing she felt the finger and she felt Alisa’s lips meet her own, causing the demon to smirk after sampling a taste of them, her tongue trailing against her upper-lip as if she was savoring their taste. “Mhmm~ You’re driving a good bargain here Alisa~"

She remarked in return to Alisa commenting about Lilith having to be a good girl, causing the demon to tilt her head slightly to the side in confusion. “Hmm~ A tempting proposal, and perhaps a favor I will seek out in due time once I kept my side of the deal.”

Yet the defiant smirk made her eyes narrow slightly, like a cat waiting on pounce while her lips curved up into a pleasant smile. “I wouldn’t worry about that, I’m quite persistent in my chase.” The demon lord hummed with a smile, yet the question that was asked afterward made her ponder for a moment. “Who knows~ When does one reach perfection and cease to evolve? Perhaps the perfection I seek is different. Hmm?”

She raised her head slightly toward the air, as if something caught her interest before she whispered softly. “Interesting… So I’m not the only one~” Yet as soon as the mysterious words came Lilith turned her focus back on Alisa, her hands slowly trailing from Alisa’s shoulders to her bust, trying to give them a mischievous squeeze while she added with a smile. “Perhaps the perfection I seek is how far ‘she’ can evolve… Whether she is suited for my greatest desire. Maybe I merely want my ‘Asmodeus’" Lilith whispered temptingly as she leaned in, ensuring that her hands would be sandwiched between their pillows, yet she stopped an inch from Alisa’s face, whispering mischievously. “Here is my last ‘move’ for our little game my dear~ Consider it a parting gift...”

And as If on cue a sudden black light emitted from the demon lord, causing Lilith’s body to shatter like a crystallized cocoon, revealing a very familiar face beneath it. Esperia’s eyes opened, noticing how close she was to Alisa, on top of where her fingers were and with a flailing of panic she tried to push herself backward, unaware of how she had been seated on the bench. “UWAWAWAWA!” the girl yelled in a panic as she almost fell off the bench, likely saved narrowly by Alisa unless she regained her balance in time, but at least the hands had slipped behind Esperia’s back while her cheeks had flushed a scarlet color. “W-W-What in the world were you doing to be so close to her! I-I mean not that I mind being this close b-b-b-but--- No! I can’t do that, not now I got a girlfriend!”

Poor Esperia, it seemed her mind was turning fluffy at the current situation, and if it was possible she likely would have had smoke rising from her ears! “I-I-I...” The girl’s eyes stared straight at Alisa, cheeks flushed red of embarrassment “Don’t laugh Asmodeus!” It appeared that she could still communicate with the demon in her current form? Interesting...

There was no doubt that seduction and teasing could make the intimate encounter all the more juicy, a fact that both of them knew all too well, especially with how they been trying to stimulate each other’s lust, and yet despite her reaction one couldn’t help but wonder if Lilith had been ready to burst, or if she had merely been playing along. No, it was quite difficult to get a grasp on the demon her thoughts or intentions, and it remained a question whether the things she did and said were genuine, or all parts of a little play she was putting on. In the end, the stories often said that Asmodeus was quite clever, deceptive and manipulative yet one couldn’t help but wonder if those stories were fact or just superstition.

It was quite fortunate that Alisa had decided to keep a hand behind Esperia’s back, the grasp of the girl being just enough for Esperia to not fall down and slowly calm down as she listened to Alisa’s teasing remark. The narrowing of her eyes, the gaze that lingered on her suggested the girl would have had other things to worry about, but instead the flustered lass merely smiled sheepishly and nodded in agreement to Alisa’s words. “Mhmm~ Fia would likely had gone full steamy mode if she saw that...” A weak chuckle escaped her lips yet before she was even able to dismount her Alisa leaned in to whisper some words that made Esperia’s cheeks turn scarlet, no doubt the result of the close contact to Alisa’s body and the breath that tickled her ear.

However, the girl didn’t convey any response from the demon, instead letting out an almost childish “hehe~” at being petted as she took a more appropriate seat on the bench beside Alisa, taking a deep breath as she continued “To be honest, I don’t really know what happened when she took over. It’s like suddenly entering a room and being locked from the outside world. According to her it’s because my powers are still underdeveloped… but who is this Lilith you spoke of?”

The girl gently tilted her head to the side in confusion, yet after a moment the girl resumed speaking. “She says that the only reason she can communicate like this is because of my strong compatibility with her…” A little pout lingered on her cheeks, not entirely sure how much she enjoyed being told that she was compatible with the Demon Lord of lust.

However, a few moments passed as Esperia seemingly thought about something and looked at Alisa, her lips forming back into that trademark cheerful smile of hers. “She also says you should look forward to a second round--- wait a minute, a second round?”

Her cheeks flushed up into a crimson hue as she looked at Alisa and spoke once more in a flustered tone. “Please don’t tell me that this ‘round’ she speaks of is the same type of thing I’m thinking about...”

Poor Esperia, seems she had been oblivious to all the fun that had happened till now!

It was true, despite Lilith’s lust and her feelings of affection and adoration for the girl whose body she inhabited there was a high probability that the demon would try to warp Esperia into her idealized version, after all she was a Demon Lord of lust, corruption and manipulation were part of the game she played. However, so far it seemed Alisa’s decision to step in was quite effective, for at first sight, it appeared the demon was quite… interested in the temptations the sculptress could provide.

Yet one couldn’t help but wonder what the end result of this peculiar symbiotic relationship could be. Yet instead their conversation briefly drifted toward the conversation of Esperia’s girlfriend, the endearing giggle from Alisa and the inquiry about what exactly she meant with her choice of wording made the girl smile sheepishly as she explained in a cheerful tone. “When Fia gets really angry she starts to release steam~ like wooosh~” The girl exclaimed before she continued with a playful little hum. “But it also happens when she gets flustered~ Like there was this one time she sounded like a boiling kettle!” Snickering mischievously the girl exclaimed with a smile. “That’s why I love teasing her so much!”

However, the back and forth soon turned toward the subject of the meeting between Lilith and Alisa, yet the words that followed made Esperia’s cheeks flush up into a crimson hue as she recalled the thoughts she had on the matter of who was best to deal with a dangerous temptress like Asmodeus. Perhaps it was for that reason that she quickly waved her hands before Alisa, desperately trying to explain the situation. “I-I-I didn’t mean anything negative with that! It’s just that I thought if anyone was a match for a dangerous temptress like her it would have been you...”

And she didn’t just mean that Alisa would be a match in terms of bust size! Even if that thought briefly lingered in her mind. However, it was what followed what coaxed an even more dramatic response from the girl. The husky tone, the tempting statement as she leaned closer, that entrancing gaze… “things I couldn’t even dream of...” For a moment her vivid imagination took the better of her, imagining the two temptresses doing a different type of ‘fight’ that involved lewd wrestling and a lack of clothing, yet before things could get juicy the girl’s face turns crimson red as she closed her eyes and covered her ears, stating in a flustered reaction. “I think I don’t wanna find out!” The girl flailed while secretly she felt her legs squirm lightly, a familiar warmth coursing through her body as she totally did want to discover more about what had actually happened back then. Only after a moment the girl finally recovered from her flustered state, letting out a little sigh as she leaned sideways, trying to rest her head gently against Alisa’s shoulder.

“Thank you for being willing to talk to her… So much happened in such a short period that I can barely keep myself from being swept up by those events.” The girl confessed with a little smile as she looked up at Alisa and whispered softly. “Someday I hope to wield this power to protect all that is dear to me… Of course, that includes you also! Then again, I doubt you'd need any protecting~ so maybe helping you would be a better idea then.”

The girl stated with an innocent smile upon her lips. To wield the power of a demon lord to protect those she cared for? An interesting goal for sure...

It seemed Esperia was quite excited to change the subject toward the existence of her girlfriend. She went into detail describing how Doctor Gerard had set the two of them up for a date and the events that unfolded that day. Of course, she did refrain from telling Alisa about the more… intimate moment in the pizzeria, her cheeks flushing up into a crimson color as she recalled those wandering hands and the taste of Fia’s lips. “Yes~ I think she actually uses a sort of steam magic to empower her body.” However, when Alisa said that she sounded adorable Esperia couldn’t help but giggle happily at those words. “Hmm~ I’m not sure what would happen if someone else tried to tease her...”

Pondering for a moment Esperia couldn’t help but feel that the result would likely be disastrous. It was clear to her that Fia had a really soft spot for her, in the end, how else would have all those teasing shenanigans and flirting advances have been accepted? However, as they continued their conversation Esperia’s chipper mood didn’t seem to fade away at all.

When Alisa commented about her being one of the cutest perverts she had ever met Esperia playfully puffed up her cheeks into a pout and stated with a grin “Uwaah~ Saying it like that doesn’t sound like a compliment at all~” Not to mention, Liana’s perverted side was kind of cute also, especially when she hid it so strongly inside the closet!

Yet lust, despite being a powerful weapon was also an emotion that could influence people quite strongly, that was evident in many cases, yet Esperia couldn’t help but ponder about how she would overcome such a powerful sensation, to wield it as a weapon rather than an emotion that controlled her? For a moment she thought about the two individuals she knew who wielded it so strongly. Alisa, whose strong will could help her dominate her own lust, and then there was the Demon Lord who eagerly thrived in them, feeding upon them to empower herself. However, could she have the potential to use such a method?


“Mhmm~ It felt like I was trapped inside a dream...” The girl admitted with a weak smile, recalling her memories of that peculiar dream she had experienced that day. However, when she heard Alisa agree with her idea and appreciate the thought of Esperia using her powers for the sake of those she cared for, the words that followed made Esperia smile and nod her head in agreement. Love was a stronger motivator than rage or hatred? The girl had to admit she enjoyed the sound of that, but after a moment of thinking their conversation turned back to the subject of how she would wield Lilith’s powers as her own.

“Hmm~” The girl sat upright once more, a hand tapping toward her cheek as she rested it lightly against the side of her face, pondering about the question. “To wield her power I need to learn to overcome those feelings. Like… Lust is the source of her power, right?” The girl paused for a moment before she continued. “Right now I still get too flustered whenever I get too excited, so that means I need to either learn to strengthen my will to a point I can endure this lust or learn to thrive in it.”

She seemed to be considering the subject quite carefully, yet for a moment she pondered a bit further. “Then again, I’m sure there are plenty of ways for me to practice!” It seemed there would be quite an interesting time ahead for the young Eisenberg.

Thinking back about the date had left some rather pleasant feelings within Esperia’s heart. Not only did she get the opportunity to meet Fia thanks to Doctor Gerard’s meddling, but she also was able to get closer to the girl and experiment with those newfound feelings. A momentary pause lingered in the conversation as Esperia’s reddening cheeks were accompanied with a girlish giggle as she recalled something rather fond, her fingers raising to her lips as she recalled the flavor of the kiss they had shared back then. However, it was at that moment that Alisa said something that caused the blush on her cheeks to brighten. “It won’t be that easy! Fia won’t be charmed by your pillow size alone!” Esperia exclaimed confidently, yet at the same time she had to admit she was both curious and a little bit excited to find out if Fia would resist such dangerous temptations. However, the hand that reached for her face and brushed aside some of her longer bangs that covered her eyes made the look in the girl’s eyes clearly betray a certain liveliness that she had been lacking in their previous meeting, as if there was a strength in them that had previously been absent.

“Hehe~” A little grin lingered on her lips at being called a pervert, because deep inside she knew it was the truth, but at least she was an extremely adorable and endearing pervert! She doubted anyone in the whole of Fiore could match her when it came to blending adorableness and perversion into an endearing blend! Nonetheless, the memories of the coma had left her briefly silent, thinking back about the memory and the peculiar dreams she had experienced during that time. Even now it felt like her body had yet to catch up entirely with the time she had lost back then.

Nonetheless, their conversation soon turned back toward the subject of this mysterious power she possessed and make it her own. Of course mastering such a power would prove to be a difficult feat. “To train my mental fortitude… accepting my lust as a part of myself, yet to never let it control me either.”

However, it were the words that followed that made the girl tilt her head slightly sideways in confusion. “What do you mean Asmodeus: I’m no longer human?” The girl’s expression turned into a frown as she sighed softly. “No answer… But a middle ground… To let lust strengthen me, but use my willpower to control it.” A difficult task for sure, but what followed afterwards from a playful tease made her cheeks redden again instantaneously. “I TOTALLY WASN’T THINKING ABOUT WHAT WAS BENEATH THAT SPORT BRA AND HOW LONG I COULD RESIST SUCH A TEMPTATION!”

The girl exclaimed out loud before realizing how quickly the words had left her lips, causing Esperia to raise a hand to her mouth as if to restrain herself from saying anything more, instead muttering softly. “See, you really are the most suited to deal with her… I can’t think of anyone else who could match a perverted temptress like her!” The poor girl tried to exclaim in an attempt to counter the teasing, pouting softly.

Still, despite the teasing, it was clear that Esperia’s mood had been lifted, for when she removed her hand from her mouth she was smiling cheerfully once more. Yet one question lingered in the back of her mind: What did Asmodeus mean when she denied Alisa’s statement about her being just a human? It was a question that kept on lingering in the back of her mind as she waited to see Alisa’s reaction.

It was true, Esperia clearly had changed since the recent days, and while the darkness might had disappeared, vanishing without a trace it was quite likely that the recent relationship with Fia and the events afterwards had been a light so bright to banish the darkness, to make it be forced to retreat far beyond the eye of most people. Nonetheless the perverted girl was all too eager to think about more joyous matters, but little had her prepared for what was about to follow next.

The way Alisa went into what Esperia referred to as ‘The Pillow Demon’ had made the girl gulp for a moment as the sculptress her eyes narrowed, the stretching of her arms, the push of her bra that helped deliver such a tempting effect, and that noticeable bead of sweat that traced along its curve before vanishing into that plugging valley in between her breasts. Of course, it was too much for a girl like her to resist.

Yet, perhaps this was a form of training in its own way, an opportunity for her to grow stronger! Inwardly ignoring the giggle of the demon lord of lust at her thoughts Esperia steeled herself for what was about to come. “Alisa~” A soft whisper came from the girl as Esperia turned to properly face Alisa, shuffling closer to their bodies were pressing against each other, and while one hand trailed toward the taller sculptress her waist, the other raised for her cheek, brushing her fingertips against it lightly. “If you keep tempting me like that...” Slowly she leaned upwards, her lips curving into a mischievous smile while her voice came with a more husky and honey-laced quantity that no doubt would stir a familiar sensation in the temptress.

“I might show you just how intense my imagination can be~” With each word she whispered her fingers trailed closer toward Alisa’s bust and her face encroached upon Alisa’s own, and for a moment there would have been no doubt that the familiar tone belonged to a temptress she was very familiar with. To the point, one might have vividly imagined that rather than talking to Esperia, she was talking to an unusual mixture of both the girl and the demon lord within her. However, just as sudden as the feeling had arisen, it faded when a moment before reaching her lips the girl’s cheeks flushed up into the brightest blush she ever had and rapidly backed away to the opposite side of the bench, her breathing faster than usual.

“I-I-I CAN’T DO THIS!” The girl flailed her hands before her as she continued exclaiming in a flustered response. “I’m a good girl! I don’t cheat on Fia! N-N-Not even on someone with amazing pillows like you Ali!” The girl stated with an endearing nickname to add as a free bonus. Yet her gaze clearly drifted back to the bust, her head lifting and lowering lightly with the little jiggle they made. “I see… so Ali’s pillows are dangerous enough to even lure in a demon lord...”

There was no doubt about it, Alisa was a dangerous lady to make a foe off, good thing that she considered the sculptress to be on her friend list! Nonetheless, she had to admit she was still extremely curious about what exactly had unfolded between Alisa and Asmodeus, to think the demon lord of lust was willing to form an agreement with Alisa… It just showed how strong of a temptress the woman truly was! Yet it was at the same time, despite the fact that Alisa was clearly talking to a flustered Esperia that the ‘feeling’ of the demon lord’s presence somewhat still lingered, even if it was fading by the moment.

Poor Esperia, if only she had known that teasing Alisa was a futile effort, for the sculptress clearly enjoyed every moment of it. However, she had been confident she could steel herself and get her revenge if she could properly wield this power! The idea had been simple really: use the Demon Lord within her to empower her own lust, in the end, if Asmodeus thrived in lust, then surely she wouldn’t mind lending a hand with something like this, right? Peering into the girl’s eyes would have confirmed already that the spark of mischief in those mismatched eyes still contained an innocent liveliness to them that was undeniably Esperia’s. The lack of flinching and Alisa’s sensual response made Esperia believe a more firm teasing was in order… but to no avail.

The hand that reached up along her arm, tickling the smooth skin with her fingernails send a little shiver across her spine, yet as Esperia retreated and hearing Alisa’s mischievous chuckle while inquiring about whether it was her own lust or Asmodeus’ the girl shook her head lightly, yet the words that followed about her breast fetish easily made her cheeks regain their crimson hue. “I umm..” She raised a hand to the back of her head, seemingly trying to figure out the best way to explain it a little bit further. “Like those feelings of longing and desire, those lustful emotions that course through me… I tried to basically pull out all of them while at the same time retaining enough control over them to not let myself slip beyond my control. Albeit I could only apply a bit of Asmodeus’ power to amplify my own lust, anything more and I would likely be ensnared by her power."

A little tilt to the side followed as Esperia tried to think a bit further on the matter but soon she smiled weakly at Alisa. “But I couldn’t keep a grip on it long enough because my thoughts slipped back toward Fia...” The girl confessed softly, yet after a moment she tried to give a final teasing jab at Alisa, humming softly. “Why~ Were you hoping I’d turn into Asmodeus and gave you another round of shenanigans that are so lewd I might faint just thinking about them?”

A playful little wink followed by the girl at the remark, but she soon turned her focus toward their ongoing conversation. “It’s tough… her power is overwhelming, to the point I can only control a tiny fragment before I’d get ensnared by her.” She pondered for a moment before whispering softly. “Then again, it does feel very pleasant to act upon those feelings, like it’s somewhat liberating like a heavy weight is lifted off my shoulders, or invisible chains that are latching onto me are suddenly loosening.”

It was indeed quite pleasant for Esperia to be able to act upon her lust, but perhaps it was part of the cryptic warning that Lilith gave Alisa? About the consequences of the girl not acting upon her feelings?
