I was sold to a dangerous place in order to repay my parents’ debt, and I ended up being bought by a vampire young lady. I became the feed for the beautiful maid.

Chapter 18: You can call me Lilith~, Ikkun ♡



You can call me Lilith~, Ikkun ♡

Papa and Mama are the perfect couple for me, Lilith Sakiba.

They have been married for eighteen years, and they often express their love for each other as a casual greeting.

Sometimes, they even kiss without any concern for my presence.

While I feel a bit embarrassed now that I’m a high school student, I’ve always wanted to marry someone with whom I can share mutual love and affection, just like my parents do.

When Mama, who had just arrived on Earth and was lost, was in need of help, Papa was the one who came to her rescue.

At that time, Earthlings marrying individuals from other worlds was a trend, but the combination of a human and a succubus was quite unusual. I was born from their love, a succubus born and raised on Earth.

Well, everything wasn’t always peaceful, though. Mama used to say that people often speculated and made assumptions, thinking that Papa was tamed just to provide life force to a Succubus like her.

I couldn’t understand why Mama would say such cruel things when I was young. It was only when I became a middle school student that I began to grasp the situation.

“People say succubi engage in sexual activities, right?”

“How many times have you done it?”

“Succubi need life force, right? Should I be your partner?”

“Any guy would do, right? How about me?”

During my adolescence, as I became interested in sexuality, I noticed that many people looked at me through the lens of being a succubus.

I was constantly bombarded with remarks like, “Because you’re a succubus,” “You’re a succubus, but you don’t act like one,” and so on. No one really saw me for who I truly was, and I lost count of the times I had to refuse advances only to face hostility in return.

While I didn’t feel averse to sexual matters, I grew increasingly disgusted by people who didn’t even treat me as a person.

The climax of my struggles was related to my own body.

As a child succubus, I received life force from my mother, but once I reached puberty, it was expected for me to secure life force on my own.

However, I held onto my virginity for the sake of my ideals.

As a result, I ended up experiencing a hunger so agonizing, as if my body was thirsting and starving.

Not only was I tormented by this hunger, but I also felt sexual arousal due to the need for life force, driven by instinct to obtain it efficiently.

I was told that if I didn’t manage this properly, I could lose control and attack someone, possibly even killing them.

Despite hearing this, I couldn’t let go of my ideals. However, the life force I received from Mama wasn’t nearly enough, and I couldn’t feed from Papa, my blood relative.

For someone like me, who might die before attacking anyone, Papa and Mama sought help from various connections.

That’s when the Scarlet Duke’s family reached out to us.

The Duke, as a close friend of the Verzeld King, had a role in assisting individuals from other worlds who were struggling on Earth.

This included succubi suffering from life force deficiency. As a result, struggling Succubi like me became beneficiaries of their support. While it saved my life through their life force donations, they still told me that I needed to obtain life force through the act of “sucking” from someone of opposite sex.

In return for facilitating this arrangement, I started working as a maid at the Duke’s mansion.

It was a convenient solution since I didn’t want to burden Papa and Mama any further and knew I needed to take care of myself.

The part-time job turned out to be very fulfilling. Lady Elina is kind, and my fellow maid, Saku-chan, who is the same age as me, gives me clear guidance.

The meals prepared by Jajimu-san are also exquisite, to the point where I want to continue working here even after my life essence issue is resolved.

On the other hand, I tried practicing life essence absorption through non-sexual means, as taught by Mama to the people referred to me.

However, the results were dismal. It wasn’t because I failed; rather, they found my technique too effective and declined to continue.

Ironically, it turns out that I’m an unparalleled genius as a succubus.

I didn’t want to believe it, but by the time I had received thirty rejections, I couldn’t deny the truth any longer.

As of now, I can still control myself and refrain from attacking, but eventually, I might not be able to resist and end up assaulting someone.

If it happens because I pushed things too far, I’ll feel terribly sorry for the Scarlet Duke and Lady Elina, who have kindly been mediating for us.

However, that doesn’t mean I can easily put out a recruitment call.

Both Saku-chan and I are aware of our exceptional appearances. Unlike the people introduced through mediation, it’s evident that some approach us with ulterior motives, making us cautious.

Nevertheless, we also understand that the current situation cannot continue.

And then, it happened.

To address our issues with blood-sucking, Lady Elina declared that she would buy a slave.

It’s true that if the slave is compelled through magic, they would never attack us.

But among the many accolades directed at the Scarlet Duke’s family, there is the image of them being nobles from another world without slaves.

Lady Elina’s decision could potentially tarnish that image, and Saku-chan, who was more unsettled than me, tried desperately to convince her.

However, Lady Elina remained firm, and we reluctantly had to accept it.

So, when the slave was brought in, I never expected it to be Tsujizono-kun.

I was really surprised even though I didn’t show it on my face to see the classmate with black hair, black eyes, and a quiet demeanor, who always went to a part-time job after school, become a slave.

Lady Elina concealed the true circumstances and fabricated a plausible story to tell him.

It’s true that Saku-chan and I weren’t lying about our issues with blood-sucking.

While I didn’t have much conversation with Tsujizono-kun before, when we started interacting, I found him surprisingly easy to get along with.

He reacts interestingly when teased, and he has a somewhat mature aura despite being shy and inexperienced with relationships.

Perhaps it’s because of his extensive part-time job experience, which has given him social skills.

When I heard that he used to be an adventurer in another world, I was surprised. But I think he must be quite experienced, considering how casually he talks about it like a part-time job.

If that’s the case, a retired adventurer wouldn’t be much of a match for us.

“I wonder if it would have been better if I weren’t a Succubus and could have a normal love life… I don’t want to think that way, but it keeps crossing my mind…” I ended up confiding my concerns to Tsujizono-kun, feeling reassured by his presence.

I wasn’t seeking an answer or expecting consolation; I just wanted someone to listen.

At that moment, when I was inwardly apologizing for being selfish…

“If that’s what Sakura-san wants, then there’s nothing wrong with it.”

“Huh?”

Tsujizono-kun got angry at the prejudice against me.

He said that I’m a girl with a heart just like any other human, not just a Succubus.

He’s right; I should just ignore those ignorant people.

Papa, Mama, and Lady Elina all expressed their concerns and encouraged me, but it was the first time someone had gotten angry on my behalf.

I was really surprised, but it somehow made me feel happy.

He was angry because he had experienced prejudice in the past as well.

Hearing about the unfair treatment he had faced made my own worries seem insignificant.

To think that Tsujizono-kun, who worked so hard at his part-time job, would be accused of stealing money from others…

Even though we had only started talking three days ago, I could feel that he was the kind of person who would think that way.

Yet, he straightly said, “There’s no need to worry about baseless prejudices. If it’s your own choice, it doesn’t matter if you don’t act like a Succubus. At least, that’s what I believe.”

“Tsujizono-kun…”

At that moment, his words made all my previous worries feel insignificant.

It was such a refreshing feeling, as if the haze in my heart had cleared away.

Even though I was different from the impression others imposed on me, there was no need for me to feel burdened.

I never expected that he would lift the heavy burden I had been carrying for so long.

Feeling moved internally, Tsujizono-kun covered his face with his hands, looking flustered.

Before I could ask what was wrong, he spoke up.

“Sorry, I said too much without thinking…”

I realized that he was feeling embarrassed as soon as I caught onto his slightly trembling voice.

As soon as I sensed that, I couldn’t help but smile.

Oh dear… Tsujizono-kun is just too adorable.

My heart is pounding, and I can’t help but want to pat his head and tease him even more right now.

But there’s no need to rush.

Suppressing my excited feelings, I decide to at least express my gratitude to him.

“Well, you may have a ‘virgin vibe’ and it might not have been a perfect experience… but thanks, I’m happy.”

“…I wish you’d just accept it without teasing, then I could have been happier.”

Tsujizono-kun droops his shoulders as if he had been let down.

It’s because I accepted it that I couldn’t say it honestly…you know.

Finding his reaction cute, I call his name once more.

“Hey, Tsujizono-kun. You’re going to let me suck your essence today, right?”

“H-huh… yeah.”

Ahaha.

As soon as I mentioned essence sucking, he tensed up.

Trying not to let a grin show on my face, I continue.

“As a thank you for helping me, I’m going to give you plenty of service today, Ik-kun♡”

“W-what, be gentle… wait, Ik-kun?”

He seemed surprised when I called him by a nickname.

“Yeah~. We’ve become friends after all, so using last names feels formal, don’t you think~? Ik-kun, you can call me Lilith too, okay~?”

“Uh, um, sure… Lilith.”

“! Ehehe~”

I can’t suppress my smile at the thought of getting closer to Ik-kun.

And so, for the first time in three days, Ik-kun and I walked together towards the mansion for another essence-sucking session.
