Chapter 12 - Volume 1 Chapter 124: Don’t Get Flustered Here!

In class, Ning Chu sat upright, her eyes fixed on the teacher at the podium. She appeared to be paying close attention to the lecture, but her peripheral vision frequently drifted toward Lily, seated just one wolf girl away from her.

If she set aside Lily's identity as a plot character, Ning Chu actually found this succubus rather likable.

Unlike those shameless, overly flirtatious types, Lily was more reserved and wouldn't cling to Wen Yang, trying to cozy up to him.

The real crux of the plot lay with Wen Yang.

Now that Wen Yang had seen the chat logs and learned about Lily's "interest in toys," if this were a R18+ Doujnshi, the next developments would probably skip the probing phase entirely. He might start subtly teasing her, leading to them becoming "comrades-in-arms."

As for Lily's claim that she wasn't interested in men... well, perhaps that was because she hadn't experienced Wen Yang's charms.

Fortunately, Wen Yang was still quite naïve.

Ning Chu thought back to how cautiously Wen Yang had held her hand yesterday, and she couldn't help but laugh. Right now, this guy was nothing like the assertive protagonist of a Hentai story.

However... he had been holding her hand.

Suddenly, she didn't feel like laughing anymore.

But as the plot advanced, who knew if Wen Yang might get a wild idea and try something with Lily? It was still better to find an opportunity to sabotage the storyline.

Ning Chu sighed in frustration, contemplating how to give Wen Yang a crash course on succubus lore. But she worried about exposing her own identity as a succubus or, worse, sparking Wen Yang's interest in succubi even further.

"Ning Chu~ Ning Chu~"

Yan Xinya called to her softly, "Chat with me~ I'm so bored."

Ning Chu looked down at Yan Xinya, who was slumped over the desk with drooping ears and a limp tail.

"I'm trying to focus on the lesson."

She pursed her lips and placed both hands neatly on the desk, looking every bit like a model elementary school student.

"Oh, stop pretending~"

"..."

"Ning Chu, don't you have horns or a tail?"

Ning Chu immediately shot a wary glance at Wen Yang. Thankfully, Yan Xinya's voice was low enough that it hadn't reached his ears.

She glared at the wolf girl before leaning forward, her head nearly touching Yan Xinya's as they whispered to each other.

"Don't spout nonsense! What if my roommate hears you?"

"Uh... fine."

"I don't. Why?"

Yan Xinya wrapped her big fluffy tail around to the front and hugged it with both hands. "I noticed Lily has a tail."

"Really?"

Ning Chu's eyes turned toward Lily. The succubus was, as usual, dressed in a long skirt, though today she had added a jacket over her top, making her outfit suitable for any temperature.

Her gaze lingered on Lily's waist and hips, where there was indeed a faint bulge.

"So it's all hidden under her skirt?"

"After all, keeping your tail raised makes it easy for someone to touch it."

"Oh~"

Tails of non-human girls are already very sensitive, let alone those of succubi.

A gentle touch might make them orgasm on the spot.

Fortunately, Ning Chu showed no signs of growing a tail. Otherwise, it would just be another weak spot, making her even more vulnerable.

"The sports meet is this Wednesday. What event did you sign up for?"

"None. I'll just hide in the dorm and play on my computer."

"Then Wen Yang will be..."

Ning Chu froze for a moment, then quickly changed her mind. "I'll keep an eye on him!"

Last time during PE class, Wen Yang had so many supporters just playing basketball. The sports meet would only make things worse!

And if Wen Yang achieved some kind of result, standing out on the field... Most of the plot-related supporting female characters she had encountered were her classmates. If the sports meet drew in the entire school's female characters, just imagining it made her scalp tingle.

Even if she managed to sabotage every plot thread, she estimated she would have completely turned into a succubus, losing control countless times.

"What a mess..."

Major crisis!

Ning Chu could feel her scalp tingling, chills running down her back as she finally realized the severity of the situation.

Compared to Lily in front of her, the sports meet was clearly the bigger problem!

Huh? Lily?

She suddenly noticed Lily's face had turned slightly pink. Although Lily still appeared as expressionless as an iceberg, her eyes shimmered with moisture.

Lily's body tilted forward unnaturally, her chest thrust high, her waist bending into an arched curve, and her legs clamped tightly together.

No way…

Although Lily's changes might not seem obvious to outsiders, Ning Chu, having had similar experiences, pressed her lips together knowingly.

Too familiar...

Ning Chu instinctively glanced at Wen Yang. Fortunately, he hadn't noticed a thing.

"Lily, are you feeling unwell?" Yan Xinya noticed Lily's subtle changes and softly asked, "Should we go to the infirmary?"

Lily shook her head, her face still devoid of emotion, her gaze fixed on the podium. Her hand continued to take notes and underline key points.

You had to admire this succubus's incredible willpower!

If it were Ning Chu, she would have completely lost her composure, slumped over the desk, squeezing her legs together and gasping secretly.

But could you please not "overheat" in front of the protagonist?!

At times like this, if the protagonist got a bit closer or accidentally touched her, Lily probably wouldn't be able to resist, just like Ning Chu on that weekend evening.

She peeked at Lily's notebook and saw it was filled with chaotic scribbles.

A faint, sweet scent seemed to waft into her nose. She glanced at Wen Yang again and realized he was already sitting upright without realizing it.

When Wen Yang noticed Ning Chu's downward gaze, he awkwardly took off his jacket and draped it over his lap.

He had no idea what was going on either! He had been focusing on the lecture, so why this sudden reaction?

It seemed the hormones succubi emitted when "overheating" were strongly attractive to men.

Doesn't that make it even more dangerous for her, who is living in the boys' dorm?

Luckily, Zhang Shaoqing and Wang Jie, further away, didn't seem affected, so the range of influence might only be about a meter.

Ning Chu sighed, exasperated, and nudged Yan Xinya's arm. She whispered, "Does Lily often get like this?"

"Maybe every three to five days? Hard to say," the wolf girl replied, sniffing the faintly sultry scent Lily emitted. She smirked mischievously and whispered, "Do you get like this too? In the boys' dorm?"

"..."

"Then Wen Yang is in real danger~"

Ning Chu glared at her in frustration, slumping onto the desk to hide her reddened face in her arms, her eyes still observing Lily.

This girl was incredible!

Minutes passed, and that icy face only showed a faint pink hue. Although her stiff body made her posture look somewhat unnatural, outsiders unfamiliar with the situation wouldn't guess what the icy goddess was enduring.

Not long after, Lily let out a soft breath and slumped weakly onto the desk.

She glanced at Ning Chu, her face quickly flushing red. Lily gave Ning Chu a helpless smile before lowering her head to compose herself. When she sat up again, she had reverted to her usual frosty demeanor.
