Broken Possessors of Infinite Regression Academy

“Wait a minute. That ‘in heat’ means what I think it means, right?”

“Yes, it means she’s sexually aroused and desires intercourse with the opposite—”

“Stop. That’s enough. I get it. Explain more in detail.”

I pressed my aching forehead. Just when I thought everything was going well, this came up. Although it wasn’t surprising for a succubus, it was still sudden. While I was exasperated, Beatrice remained her usual calm self as she continued.

“A few weeks ago, I noticed she was becoming a bit off. Her body temperature was slightly higher than usual, her breathing was heavy even when she was idle, her eyes often looked unfocused, and she would stand near your room for extended periods.”

As her suspicious behavior grew more frequent, Beatrice became certain something was wrong when the tattoos I had branded on her began to glow pink. She moved her to her own room to prevent anyone from discovering the tattoos, but she couldn’t keep her there indefinitely, and discussing it with others was out of the question. So, she urgently sought me out.

“Even while lying in my room, she somehow found your belongings and tried to pleasure herself while sucking on them. My stern reprimand brought her to her senses, but I doubt it will last long.”

“Why are my belongings in your room?”

“For cleaning purposes. Items too dirty to clean on the spot are taken to my room for thorough cleaning.”

“You always said you cleaned my room personally. How are there still items dirty enough to be taken to your room?”

“…Yes. I’ve been cleaning less frequently lately.”

Though her response seemed normal, I noticed a gap in her explanation. I decided to let it slide and not press her further.

“So you decided to come to me because leaving her be would be dangerous?”

“Seeking help from the head of the household would inevitably reveal her true identity, which we cannot afford. This is a secret between you and me, after all.”

Beatrice emphasized our shared secret with a sparkle in her eye. Indeed, this was a problem beyond even Beatrice’s capabilities. No matter how skilled a maid, she wouldn’t know how to handle a succubus in heat.

‘Got it. The dates match up with the day Astaroth died. It seems Justera is awakening as the next Queen, inheriting the bloodline.’

It wasn’t unusual for the succubus Queen’s power to be passed down. Astaroth’s madness in killing off rivals to maintain her position was the anomaly.

“Alright. I’ll take care of it. Prepare the carriage. I’ll head over immediately.”

“I’ll get it ready at once. What about your classes? Should I inform the professors you’ll be absent for a few days?”

“No need. The Chairman told me personally that I’m free to attend or skip classes as I please since there’s nothing more for me to learn at the academy level.”

“Really? That’s impressive, young master.”

Beatrice, who smiled genuinely happily, paused as she was about to prepare the carriage and then turned back.

“…Young master, I know it’s a rude question, but are you planning to handle her heat personally—”

“Absolutely not, so don’t worry.”

“Thank you for answering. I’ll have everything ready, so come down whenever you’re ready.”

Beatrice left looking relieved. I returned to the clubroom and informed everyone that I had to go home for a day or two due to family issues. They all seemed to understand.

“Hey, what about Priscilla and Laura if you just leave like that?”

“It’s okay. I trust in the saint. She’ll handle things somehow.”

“What?”

There was a minor incident where Rosalia almost grabbed my collar, but we settled it by agreeing that I’d change into new clothes, which Rosalia held for me.

“Don’t get any weird ideas.”

“What? Do I look like a pervert to you?”

Leaving Rosalia, who was urging me to come back soon, and Brynhild and Aria, who were awkwardly seeing me off, I headed towards the dimensional gate. I saw Beatrice standing next to a carriage led by a magic stone golem.

As soon as I boarded the carriage, Beatrice naturally sat right beside me, as she always did since childhood to ensure I didn’t collapse.

“How have you been, Beatrice? Are you doing well?”

“I’ve been worrying about you, young master.”

“…Me?”

“Yes. There have been several serious incidents at Bellium Academy. The one that happened recently was even bigger than the incident in the Bellium Forest at the beginning of the term. I had a hard time convincing the master and madam not to call you back home immediately.”

Beatrice puffed out her chest proudly. It made sense now why my parents hadn’t been more adamant about having me drop out despite the reports of the incidents—Beatrice had been handling it. I felt a sense of pride and affection as I patted her head.

“Thank you, Beatrice.”

“I was only doing my duty as your most trusted maid, the one you share your secrets with.”

Beatrice gave an exaggerated nod. I continued to pat her head. While we were doing that, the carriage, driven through the dimensional gate, soon arrived at the mansion. Beatrice returned to her perfect maid demeanor and stood by my side.

“Would you like to see the master and madam first? Both should be at the mansion right now.”

“Hmm… no. Let’s deal with Justera’s issue first.”

First, I had to deal with Nika’s heat. As the symptoms were getting increasingly severe, even a slight delay could lead to unforeseen consequences.

“Yes, young master. I’ll guide you right away.”

Beatrice’s room was on the very top floor of the annex where the servants stayed, similar to the chairman’s office. Because of this, it was one of the least frequented places in the mansion. Beatrice cleaned the room herself, and since it was on the top floor of an annex far from the main building, there was no reason for anyone to come up, nor did other maids or servants have a reason to enter their superior’s room.

‘…I see.’

This was likely why there had been no victims despite the pheromones spreading. As soon as I reached the halfway point of the stairs leading to the top floor, I sensed the intense pheromones and frowned. It was truly fortunate that this hadn’t happened inside the main mansion. The thought of such a high concentration of pheromones spreading through the main building made me shiver just imagining it.

Casting purification spells repeatedly, I asked, “Nothing strange happened before you put her in the room, right? No sweet smell or anything like that?”

“…”

“Beatrice?”

Wondering why she wasn’t answering, I turned around and found Beatrice staring at me with dazed eyes. Her thighs, covered by her maid skirt, were rubbing together incessantly, and her hips were arching back, accentuating her waist seductively. Seeing her hand moving toward her chest, I immediately cast a purification spell on her.

“…Young master?”

Her eyes returned to normal. Beatrice looked down at her hand, which was about to grasp her chest, in confusion.

“What was I just…?”

“You were entranced by the pheromones emitted by the succubus. Sorry, I didn’t consider that.”

“It’s alright. It was my negligence, so please don’t apologize. Instead, could you tell me once more what you said earlier?”

“I asked if anyone in the mansion showed symptoms similar to what you just experienced.”

“To my knowledge, no one has.”

If Beatrice hadn’t seen it, then it hadn’t happened. Nodding, I used magic to create a barrier to keep the pheromones from entering.

“Wait here and make sure no one comes up. Even if my parents come.”

“Yes, young master. I will wait here.”

Leaving Beatrice at the midpoint of the stairs, I entered the room. Immediately, I was hit by a thick, sweet scent. The entire room was saturated with pheromones, and the air even seemed a bit hazy. In one corner of the spacious room, Nika lay on a large bed, sucking on something with a sweet expression.

“Huff… ugh… slurp…”

What she was sucking on was a wooden sword I had once used.

Nika held the wooden sword upside down, gripping the handle while rubbing the tip between her legs and licking the handle with care. Each movement of her tongue produced lewd slurping sounds.

Despite that, it would taste only like wood.

“Nika. Get a hold of yourself.”

As I purified the pheromones spread throughout the room, I approached Nika. She looked at me with a face flushed from sucking on the wooden sword handle, then started pleading while panting heavily.

“Master… Master… My body feels strange… It’s so hot… My lower belly aches… and between my legs it hurts so much…”

“I know.”

I first took the sword from her and threw it far away. Her tongue, deprived of its toy, extended between her lips, trembling pitifully. When I offered my finger instead, she grabbed it in an instant and began to lick it voraciously. The movements were much more intense than when she was sucking on the sword, and her eyes were half-rolled back in pleasure.

Despite having no experience with absorbing energy, she was still a succubus. Even with just sucking on my fingers, my whole body tingled, and I had to suppress the slight aching in my lower body.

“Don’t play with yourself.”

Seeing her hand moving under her skirt, I tightly grasped her tongue between my index and middle fingers. Nika trembled but desperately nodded her head.

“Y-yes…”

Leaving Nika, who was half out of her mind and licking my fingers, I took out a necklace and put it on. Immediately, I heard a voice.

“My dear. We have a problem.”

However, it seemed I wasn’t the only one waiting for contact.

“What problem?”

“The second corps commander has disappeared.”

“The second corps commander… You mean the witch?”

The witch Circe. She was the second corps commander of the demon army, known as a witch or alchemist. Her individual combat power was among the lower ranks of the corps commanders, but she created all sorts of poisons to trouble the hero’s party.

“She has been missing for ten days now. The corps commanders are currently mobilized to investigate, but the only clue they found was that she disappeared from her workshop.”

“Disappearing from her workshop makes it even stranger. Who could have intruded there?”

“There were no signs of battle. The absence of any battle traces, yet no clues found, means either she left willingly or was overpowered to the point of not being able to resist. Either way, it is not good news. I wanted to warn you to be careful.”

The fact that there were no clues left in her workshop made it hard to conclude it was the work of the Demon God. If there had been traces of dark energy, it would have been noticed.

“That’s all I have to say. Why did you call me?”

“Nika seems to be in heat. Do you know why this is happening? We don’t know much about succubi, so we need your help.”

“…Did you say she’s in heat? Succubi are always in a state of heat, so what… Ah, I see. It’s because the succession has begun, which explains her symptoms.”

“Succession? Does that mean Nika is about to awaken as a queen?”

“Not ‘about to,’ she will awaken. Astaroth has died, so the power that lost its vessel will flow into the next queen. This is natural for succubi.”

“Is there any way to prevent it?”

If it was certain that Nika would awaken as a queen, I would have to deal with her before that happened. It’s unfortunate, but I couldn’t leave a ticking time bomb unchecked.

“There’s no way to stop the succession, but there is another method. Normally it would be very difficult, but for you, it should be easy.”

Elysier continued, as if it was no big deal.

“Bring her to the demon realm and let her awaken as a queen. Once she awakens, beat her within an inch of her life. Then she will submit to you forever.”

“…What?”

“Whether she’s a succubus queen or not, she’s still essentially a female demon. It’s natural for them to submit absolutely to someone stronger than themselves.”
