"Maria? Everyone's already asleep, what are you doing?"
"I'm watching a movie, Basara-san."
Maria was sitting on the sofa in the living room with all the lights off.
There was a faint light coming from the TV and the volume was low
making it difficult to hear the sound.
Basara looked at the clock. It was already past midnight.
"What are you doing Basara-san?"
"I'm a little thirsty, so I came to get some water"
He opened the fridge and poured some mineral water into a glass.
"Whatcha Watching?"
He asked, before drinking the water in one gulp.
"An erotic video, of course!"
He almost spit the water out from his mouth, but he was able to hold
it in.
"Only you could say that without getting embarrassed you loli ero
succubus! A rental? How the heck did you manage to rent this in the first
place looking like you do?"
No matter how you look at Maria, she looks like she is in her early
teens.
"Succubi aren't humans, we aren't subjected to many of the normal
problems around here"
"...Did you use magic?"
Maria whistled, pretending not to see the exasperated expression on
Basara's face.
"Anyway, Basara-san! As a proud and indecent succubus, I will do
whatever it takes to devote my existence to showing Kurumi-san lew and
sexy things"
Maria raised her arms up high.
"It's the first time I've seen such pride and suspicion coexist. Anyway,
unlike you, even as a hero, Kurumi is a person of this world and is
subject to its rules.
"That's why I've taken a lot of precautions"
After pouring another glass of water, Basara sat down next to Maria.
"Oh, did I pique your interest, Basara-san?"
"I'm worried about what you're trying to get Kurumi to watch"
Sinking into the sofa, he looked at the TV.
"Oh, this isn't a japanese film?"
The people onscreen are obviously foreigners.
"Huh? You're right"
Maria was somewhat shocked.
On the television is a group of foreign university students at a
seemingly isolated mountain cabin.
They chat happily, then drink some alcohol.
"Oho, I see that the set up was rather long, but it should be getting to
it now"
Maria perks up, her eyes shining.
"Your creep-factor has an energy all its own?'
And then, night came to the mountain cabin.
There's a guest coming to visit the university students.
The one who arrives is a seemingly suspicious middle-aged man.
"So that's it!"
Maria clapped her hands together.
"They're gonna get raped by this old man! So are these guys here
going to be the 'All we could do was watch types' or perhaps the 'There
was nothing we could do types!'"
"This is the first time I've heard of those types"
The man seemed to be staying in the mountains, and he returned to
his tent.
"Eh?" Maria tilted her head.
And right after that, suddenly, the man is attacked by a zombie!
The screams ring out, and blood flies out of the tent.
"Eh...? Eh? Then the university students would get attacked by
zombies? In a sexual way? This is quite a fetish"
"I wouldn't just say quite"
"Well, if it's like that, I could totally get into this"
The zombie then attacked the university students.
One of the university students was eaten and killed in a gruesome
manner, suffering an unnecessarily tragic death!
"Wait… This is a horror movie!"
Maria shouted.
"What's going on, Basara-san!!"
"Don't ask me! Hey, let go of my neck! My neck!"
As he freed himself from Maria's grip, Basara went back to watching
the TV.
It's clear this isn't a porn video.
The university students in the movie were then discussing how they
could escape.
"It's totally a zombie film"
"It can't be... Did I make a mistake? In what I rented."
"That aside, you rented something interesting. I like it"
At the shocked Maria, Basara makes a face like he's enjoying it.
Much to Maria's dismay, Basara appeared as if he was enjoying
himself.
"I see... So it's a nazi zombie. He's using their equipment and uniform.
Moreover, they're from..."
Basara checked the time again.
"Since tomorrow is sunday, let's stay up and watch the whole thing.
Sound good Maria?
While watching the zombie breaking in through a window, Basara
picked up the glass on the table.
"...Maria?"
He just came to the realization that she hasn't been responding.
Looking next to him, He saw Maria.
She was completely quiet.
Her small body clinging close to him, with her small breasts against his
arm.
From that alone, he can feel that she was trembling.
"Don't tell me... You're scared of horror movies? Or of zombies?"
"It's scary... They're both scary!"
Maria's eyebrows were raised as she looked up, her eyes glazed from
fear.
In short, she's almost crying, offended that Basara is as he is.
She looked as if she was almost crying, which caused Basara to look a
bit concerned.
"But you're a demon?"
"It's a zombie!? If they bite you you get turned into one!? If our
quarantine fails the entire demon realm would go extinct"
"Isn't that over exaggerated?"
"No it's not! Think about what would happen if a person with great
power got bitten, demon zombies are much scarier than human world
zombies! If I get bitten the entire world would turn into succubus
zombies, If Mio-sama then a demon lord zombie, and Lars, a Lars
zombie, do you get it!?"
"Lars... (Takigawa)"
"If it's you Basara-san, it'd be Banishing zombie"
"Is that what would remain of me?"
"A-anyway... zombies. Whether it's magic or lewd dreams, they'd be
unstoppable..."
Glancing at the zombies attacking the students, she let out a scream.
"This is gonna be a long night..."
He held Maria, petting her head.
There was a rustling noise coming from next to him.
"Mm?"
Basara noticed this from how close they are.
Maria was shaking more than before.
When he looked again, she was moving her thighs against each other,
unable to stay calm.
Their eyes met.
Maria then looked away embarrassed, continuing to fidget next to
Basara.
"...Could it be. You need to use the bathroom?"
Maria was a bit red in the face as she jumped up.
Even though she seemed hesitant, she nodded without a word.
But Maria didn't move from her spot. At the same time, she let out a
sigh showing that she's been holding it in.
Basara scratched the back of his head.
He didn't have to ask to know she's scared of going to the bathroom
alone.
"Alright. I'll go with you"`

"Um..."
"Please don't say anything"
Basara was standing in the bathroom.
Maria is right by him, sitting on the western-style toilet.
Without thinking, Basara looked down, meeting Maria's eyes.
Eyes wet with tears and cheeks flushed in embarrassment; he couldn't
imagine the loli ero succubus more embarrassed than this.
Topping it off, her pajama pants were pulled down.
"Sorry"
He feels the kind of guilt he hasn't felt in a while.
"I'm embarrassed myself, you know.... Even a succubus has her
limits!"
Even from her voice, one could hear her tears.
She fiddled with the sleeves of her top.
"I got it. Yeah, I got it"
He tried to soothe her, but he could hear her sobbing right next to
him.
"Can't I just wait outside?"
"...No"
Basara scratched his cheek awkwardly, looking a bit agitated.
"Okay, I'll hum a song then"
He said suddenly.
"Basara-san?"
"I'll hum so it's harder to hear anything. Also I'll look away. That way
you have nothing to worry about and can just do it."
With that said, Basara began humming.
"Mmm, fufufufuu—♪ Mmm, fufufufuu—♪"
Watching him a bit dumbfounded, Maria let out a "pff!"
She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, her embarrassment
thinning.
But her cheeks remain red, and her ears are still dyed vermillion.
"Thank you. But... This is still embarrassing. So could you maybe
stop breathing."
"Okay. Mmm, fufufufuu—♪ Mmm, fufufufuu—♪ Chokes"
"It's impossible!? I'll die!"
Maria managed to smile once more.

After finishing up, Basara and Maria returned to the living room.
Maria stuck close to Basara as he sat on the sofa.
She's been glued to him all night, but now she's holding his right arm
close in her own hands.
Maria looks innocent, as she clings to Basara's arm, he could feel how
soft and warm she is. Her head was resting against Basara's chest.
Basara caught a whiff of the shampoo scent from her silver hair.
The movie on the TV continued to play.
The students continued to go through trial and error to escape the nazi
zombies.
"You know… You don't have to stay up and watch this with me. You
can just go to bed and I'll finish it alone."
However Maria shook her head.
"No. I wanna know what happens next!"
Although she said that, Maria was clearly scared.
"If I don't watch this to the end… I can't help but imagine what might
have happened. The zombie kills everyone… Then the world!"
Even as she trembles in fear, she raises her head.
"It's the not knowing that will really be terrifying! I need to finish
Watching!! Then I won't have to have those scary thoughts!!"
"All right, All right, just calm down"
With his left hand freed, he pet Maria's head.
Maria narrowed her eyes, somewhat calmer—
However, in the next moment she let out a scream.
"Kyaaaa"
On the other hand, Basara seems completely immersed, and excited
with what was happening.
"Oh! Seeing that there's brand new weapons… Are the students going
to fight back! No way, are they trying to escape using snow mobiles and
machine guns?"
"W- wait! Basara-san! Do you like this kind of stuff!?"
"It's more interesting than I thought it'd be"
"N-no...! Don't let go of me! Don't let go!"
Maria clinged on to the excited Basara.

As the movie ends, silence falls upon the living room.
Maria sitting on the sofa reached out for a glass of water, emptying it
in one go.
"Are you alright?"
"...Yes"
Despite answering, Maria seemed haggard, not looking like she's
alright at all.
After putting the glass in the sink, Basara lended his hand to Maria.
"Sorry for making you watch it all with me."
"No… it was my own decision… I wasn't thinking..."
Maria said with disappointment.
"Anyway, let's go to sleep"
Basara turns off the television, leaving the living room with Maria in
hand.
Maria's footsteps seem uncertain. As if she's scared in the darkness of
the hallway, she looks around warily.
Shortly, they reached Basara's room.
He let go of Maria's hand.
Maria let out a sigh.
"Alright then, good night"
He pet Maria's head, then turned around.
As he's about to enter his room, there's something that stops his
steps.
Turning around, he sees Maria pulling on his shirt.
"Um..."
She had a nervous expression on her face as she looked up at him.
Her eyes were clearly wet.
Lost, she opened her mouth to say something only to stop, then her
lips parted to speak.
"...Can I sleep with you?"
Finally, those words came out.
Basara blinked.
"I-I won't do anything lewd tonight. I won't slip into your clothes or
pants or anything. So..."
"That's fine"
With that said, Basara pet Maria's head gently once again.
"Tonight you can sleep with me"
"Basara-san..."
Maria's unsure face brightened up.
"Besides, it's at least half my fault"
A bit embarrassed, he scratched his cheek, then together with Maria
he entered his room.
Closing the door behind them, they lie down in bed together.
In the bed, they lie down facing each other.
Maria, who has been glued close to him all night, left a bit of a gap
between them, looking away embarrassed.
"...Can I ask for one more thing?"
Maria said with uncertainty.
One can see her red cheeks from the light that streams in from the
window.
Maria puts her finger to her lips, like she's hushing.
"...Please keep it from a secret from everyone... the fact I'm sleeping
next to you without doing anything lewd... even though I'm a succubus"
Basara chucked at the embarrassed yet serious Maria.
"...It would've been better if you didn't laugh"
"Sorry, sorry. I won't tell anyone. Don't worry, it's a promise"
With that said, Basara hugs Maria.
"Ah..." even as she let out a small voice, Maria didn't resist Basara.
The small succubus buried herself in Basara's chest, slowly closing her
eyes.
"...Thank you, Basara-san"
She murmured, then a few minutes after that, Maria fell asleep.
Basara looked at the quietly sleeping Maria.
"Seeing her like this..., it's really like having a normal little sister"
As he feels the warmth against his chest, Basara closes his eyes.
And soon, Basara's breathing as he sleeps matches that of Maria's.
The moon shines on the two of them through the window as they
sleep peacefully.
