Release That Succubus

As far as she knew, she was doing incredibly well in the shooting exercises that she had completed today.

Pushing the negative thoughts out of her head, she concentrated on emptying her magazine with a flurry of single shots with rapid but stable squeezing of trigger.

Once she was done, she put the safety of the gun on and turned towards Zach who looked like he had been waiting for her for quite some time and was considerably impatient.

She walked towards Zach as she slung her weapon on her shoulder with the help of the sling as if it was a fancy purse that she was carrying around like those rich girls.

Zach found it amusing considering most of the girls in his previous world were averse to coming close to guns.

"You wanted to talk to me?" Diana asked softly as she got close to him.

"Yes I did. I wanted to both warn you about something and ask your permission about something." Zach replied with a serious expression on his face which caused a somber expression to appear on Diana's face as well.

"Raisman hasn't given up on you as we expected. He was a little late in acting towards you in retaliation which means that at least the Sosis family head is reluctant to act towards us. It is also clear that Raisman isn't receiving the support of his father for his little operation."

Diana was cursing herself for not running away as soon as Zach asked for a talk. She had already found how naggy and tedious Zach could be when he tried to be serious.

"But that makes it more dangerous for you since that monster is coming after you without any inhibitions this time. I wanted to warn you so that you can preferably stay within the walls for some time until your brother and I sort this out. We have increased your security detail as well so bear with it and do not lose them to run out of the estate just for the fun of it. Your brother has told me of your previous rebellious acts and various escapades so I wanted to talk you out of it this time because the threat is very real this time."

Diana wanted to roll her eyes so bad but she refrained from doing so considering the fact that she had already accepted him as her master.

"The security that I already have hovering around me is already troublesome enough. They are always invading my personal space. I should have the right to be alone for some time if I want to. Why have you increased it even further? Do you think that they can actually keep me safe if someone like that bastard makes a move just because their number increased? You should know that the numbers are nothing in front of a powerful mage."

Still she couldn't help but argue about dragging her increased security everywhere. She wouldn't mind much if her security was actually stronger than her. But they weren't after she learned to use hot weapons proficiently. This was one of the major reasons why she didn't want someone else to protect her.

"Would you like me to protect you personally then?" Zach asked in annoyance at how childish she was acting in such a serious situation.

"You have already seen how good I am with guns, right? I will be alright. Besides, I don't intend to go out during this time. I need to do shooting practice with new weapons. So you don't need to worry about me being ambushed by enemies. I don't want you to see me as a liability forever that needs to be protected. I can't show you how capable I am before you give me a chance to do so."

Diana wavered and promised when she saw how annoyed Zach was at her blatant disregard for the concern that the people closest to her showed towards her.

Zach felt somewhat satisfied with the compromise but he wasn't going to leave Diana unprotected even if she wanted.

"Fine, we'll do as you want. I won't increase your security detail but you WILL take them with you if you go out. That is non-negotiable." Zach relented on the surface and agreed to her suggestion but he was way too paranoid regarding the safety of his people to rely on such a promise.

After coming back to his room, Zach sat on the couch and called out to Luna who was hurriedly taking off the hood she had been wearing for the most part of the day.

"Come here" Zach motioned with his hand as he called her over.

Luna, who had been waiting for this, practically jumped at the chance and rushed into his lap and rubbed her face against his chest as if it was the warmest place in the world. Her little tail swayed from side to side in excitement.

"I want you to do something for me." Zach said in a soft and indulging tone as he caressed her soft black hair that fell to her lower back.

"Mmmm~" With a satisfied expression on her face, Luna muttered her acknowledgment to his request. Luna couldn't exactly deny any request from Zach no matter what it was. He was her beloved master after all.

"Keep an eye on Diana. That bastard is trying to get her kidnapped to have his way with her." Zach's disgust for Raisman was evident on his face as he asked Luna to do what he couldn't without alarming Diana.

"How do you know what that animal is planning? Oh~ is it those things you left in that place?" Luna felt doubtful but then a playful expression appeared in her eyes as she remembered what Zach had done when they went to the Sosis family mansion. She rubbed her face harder on his chest as her admiration for Zach continued to increase beyond the normal range.

"Mmm~"

Luna looked like she understood the seriousness of the situation as she had a grave expression on her face.

If only Zach knew that she was only thinking about her food and how to get Zach to agree on feeding her again.

Still Luna wasn't someone who was capable of disappointing Zach so she was already planning to take on this task seriously. She was just momentarily lost in her hunger to care about anything else at all.

"My sweet succubus, don't let her find out that you are protecting her. Stay in the shadows just like we did in that forest. Even though she is strong, her senses aren't as developed because she was brought up here in a safe environment. So if you put in a little effort she won't be able to find you."

Zach instructed Luna as he patted her head gently knowing full well what she wanted from him.

Unknowingly his spear got ready for battle again and a war ensued that devastated Luna until she was panting for breath as she lay on his chest exhausted. Her body was so sensitive that even the slightest touch made her leak her juices.

It didn't take long for the both of them to drift to sleep considering how exhausted the two of them were.

…

Diana was a stubborn girl. Maybe it was the inherent pride of being the daughter of such a great family or the confidence she gained from her newfound strength that Zach had introduced her to, but the girl was unwilling to listen to Zach even if he was her master who was only worried for her.

Zach felt like hitting her on the head sometimes but knew he shouldn't do it. The reason was that he didn't want the girl to lose herself just because Zach had ended up becoming her master. He wanted her to exercise her free will and do what she wanted.

Zach didn't need mindless puppets as his subordinates after all. So he let her be and trusted Luna whom he knew would be able to handle any opponent considering how much she had grown after feeding on his seed regularly.

Other than her training Diana started to take part in the family politics that existed between the elite class of the Elizabeth city. Previously she had been too concentrated on getting out of the engagement with Raisman Sosis to be able to do this but she had always wanted to help lighten her brother's load.

Zach admired that but he felt that she was acting unnecessarily even though he had told her to stay in the house until he solved the problem of the kidnappers who were waiting for a chance to abduct her.

Thankfully, Diana was oblivious to the fact that Luna was spending more and more time with her which was quite odd considering how obsessed she was with Zach. Diana dismissed it as the camaraderie born from both of them being in the same situation.

Both of them considered Zach as their master after all.

When Luna was not together with Diana, she was watching her from a distance as Zach had instructed her to do so. Despite how much she wanted to be with Zach, she held herself back thinking about the reward that she would be able to receive from Zach once this mission reached its conclusion.

Another reason for her seriousness regarding her mission was that Luna loved Zach too much to disobey him. Even if he asked her to burn the world, she would be willing to do it in a heartbeat.

So whenever Diana left her home, she was always accompanied by an unknown shadow that kept watching her from a distance.
