After Hana had her fill with the gangbang treatment, Mio and I brought her back to our house. The two of them had a lot to catch up on and spent the whole night behind closed doors.
They disappear the next morning without so much of a peep about where they were going. Hana did leave me a box of her unusual gifts. Among them are the handcuffs that render magic useless. I did learn there were only two ways to unlock it— by orgasm, or by a stronger succubus.
I lift an onahole from the many nicknacks and grimace. "Why would a girl even need this…?"
I stuff it back inside the box and tuck it under my bed. There's no way I'll ever find myself using any of it.
"Haahh… the goal yesterday was to look for the queen succubus and search for signs of Hatsumi's boyfriend. Then we went and got sidetracked."
Ding-dong!
"Coming!" I hear Hatsumi opening the door downstairs. "Saeko! Kana's here to see you!"
"Give me a sec!" I yell back.
I throw open my closet to a bulging wardrobe of women's clothing. I'd forgotten that we'd stuffed it full of Hatsumi's old stuff. No matter how many outfits I flip through, I can't find my clothes.
"Saeko? You in there?" Kana's impatient voice comes through from the other side of the door.
"Don't come in. I'm changing!"
Screw it.
I pick out a simple t-shirt and jeans. Not the most fashionable choice, but I just need something to wear right now.
"Alright, I'm good."
Kana sheepishly opens the door and enters. We both blush as soon as our eyes meet.
"Hey… um, I rushed over once I got your message. Are you, erm… you know… " He lowers his voice and says, "Horny again…?"
"What?! No! That's not why I called you here!"
He rushes over to me and grabs my hands. "I was serious before, you know? About being in love with you. Please use me as you see fit!"
Kana puckers his lips, but I lean as far back as I can to avoid him. A mere twist of my arm tosses him square across the room.
"I called you here because I needed help with something— NOT THE SEX."
"O-oh. Sorry." Kana's apology is dripping with disappointment. "So, what's up?"
I hand him an old tally counter. "You're the only human that knows about my succubus situation. One of my most annoying powers is a succubus aura that I have a hard time controlling."
"What do you need me to do with this?"
"My aura makes people attracted to me and gets them horny, but I can somewhat control its intensity. I need you to tally every time you get horny around me."
He thumbs the switch on the counter and shrugs. "That's it?"
"That's it." I confirm.
Click. Click. Click.
"Kana…"
"I'm just testing it out, I swear! I'll reset it right now." He clears his throat. "I was thinking we head to Kobe today. You down?"
"Sure! Let me just grab my stuff."
When I reach over the bed to grab my wallet and phone the distinct sound of the clicker going off fills the room.
Click. Click. Click. Click.
"Kana?!"
"I can't help it. I woke up to a text thinking we were going to have sex!"
Kana has been standing awkwardly, and now I know why. There is a very clear bulge in his pants.
"You're kidding me?"
"Do you think maybe… we could go for a quick round?" He begs.
My mouth begins to salivate. "W-we're not doing it… but if you're okay with my mouth…"
"Yes!"
"Don't you dare get used to this!"

The two of us decide to take a short train ride to Kobe Port to hit up the many arcades there. We exit the train station just as I finish explaining my girl situation and school.
"I support whichever decision you make. Personally, I'd rather you stick to hiding as a girl. If the other boys see that you've changed, they'll start hitting on you. Just like that guy."
"I guess that was the case for Gouda, hmm." Kana's face turns red when I mention his name. "Do you remember anything that happened on Saturday?"
"N-no, nothing. I don't remember anything at all! Anyway, about your thing. It's only natural that guys'll start hitting on the new girl."
"That's true… Mio's already getting a lot of attention. Would the others react the same way even though I used to be a boy?"
"You can bet on it."
For the most part, I've done a good job hiding my secret and going unnoticed. When I was a boy, no one really paid any mind to me and they still don't as long as I continue the facade. Mio and Hatsumi encourage me to come clean, but Kana is a little apprehensive about it.
Is there really a right answer to this—
Click.
"..." I glare at Kana.
"Sorry! I kinda let my mind drift off."
"Where's the counter at?"
"Forty-three."
"WE JUST BARELY LEFT THE HOUSE."
He scratches his head and says, "Well.. that bj was just so good that—"
"Shhh!!" I elbow him in the ribs. "I just want to game away my stress today and not think about my situation."
Since we're in the middle of summer, there are plenty of people out and about along the port. There's no shortage of tourists either. Everyone is soaking in the sun or watching the ships come into port.
Kana and I head to our usual SEGA center. Since it's a Sunday, it's packed with middle and high school students spending coins on mind-numbing arcade games. We aren't any different, it's been our go-to since we first met way back when.
I point to the zombie shooter game we always play first. "Think anyone's toppled our hi-score yet?"
"Pfft. We'll just set another record." Kana remarks confidently.
By the time we get to the final stage, it's become clear we won't break our previous record. Kana lost too many lives, and I had to pick up his slack.
"You've gotten worse since we last played." I tease.
"Or maybe you're just way better. I swear, it's those inhuman reflexes."
"Hehe. You can count on me to be there for you!"
Click.
"...Kana…" I raise a clenched fist in his face.
"You… made my heart skip a beat… my bad."
We play several more games until we come to a fighter game with a long line. It was supposed to be our last game before we leave, but it's taking longer than we expected. The arcade's become so full, people are shoulder to shoulder and packed like sardines. The only open space is the small gap between the crowd and the player on the machine.
"Kana, do you wanna just leave?"
"But we're almost there. Damn it—" Kana tries to scoot closer to me when he's suddenly bumped forward. His hands find their way onto my waist and something hard pokes at my butt.
Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click.
People around us start throwing weird glances in every direction.
"What's that sound?"
"Is someone spazzing out?"
"I think a phone alarm is going off."
"....." I take Kana's hand and book it out of the arcade.
"Pummpf—"
I bump into someone on the way out. A tall woman wearing a bikini and sarong lifts her sunglasses and brushes the hair from her eyes. Two purple irises peer down at me.
"I'm so sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going!" I apologize, bowing my head.
She lifts a brow and smirks, "No, worries little lady."
The woman continues past us when it hits me…
"L-lady… how did she…?"
My clothes shouldn't give off that impression. I whip around to look for her, but she's long gone into the midday crowd. Somehow, the way she smiled seemed so familiar. Almost like…
"Saeko! They're selling steak skewers over here!"
It must have been my imagination.
"Oh… on my way."
