CHAPTER 106: A LIFE WITH TAIL ~

"umm~" my consciousness slowly came out of the darkness.

My eyelids opened slowly and a dim light greeted my still unfocused eyes. In the middle of a second a soft and melodious voice entered my ears.

"Hmmm~ fufufu~ does Sleeping Beauty finally wake up?"

"Mm? Ria? Where am I, I’m in The Room of Reminiscence?" Did I fall asleep after practicing and woke up in the Hall of Reminiscence?

No, something doesn’t add up... I didn’t fall asleep after practicing... I... Did I faint again because of Mom!?

When I fully regain consciousness, I look at the unique sky of this place, with the infinite stars, as well as galaxies and rivers of matter and energy of so many colors and shapes.

Ria was on the edge of the bed where I am lying, it was the usual Ria, with her combat uniform (?) that looks more like a school swimsuit from a certain island country and her hair in bob cut with her brooch with a violet demon face on one side.

But why is there a bed in the Reminiscence Room?

"Why is this bed heart-shaped?"

"How do you know the bed is heart-shaped?"

"Isn’t it obvious? It is the romantic way to represent the love of a couple, a heart. Look, the Hero Queen also draws it a lot in the Diary..."

I conjured the Journal in my hands after sitting on the bed, then a violet silk sheet fell from my body and my top was exposed.

"... Why am I naked!!?"

"Ah~ it’s true, I think I brought this way of drawing a heart into this world, Tehe~. And you arrived like that. You suddenly appeared lying on the carpet, I picked you up and placed you on the bed. By the way, last time you asked if you could bring people here, then I thought that you would ever need a bed and that better than a heart-shaped one, the people you bring into this world won’t be just any people, right~"

The origin of the heart shape and the association with the love of a couple has many theories in my last world, one is about a silphium plant highly valued in the ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome where coins were minted with its image since it was used for its medicinal and contraceptive properties.

They may also be very simple early representations of the schematic form of the human heart, the ancient forms sometimes mentioning a rounded shape with a slit at the top.

Another strong theory is the derivation to devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in visions of a Saint named Margaret of Alacoque, which helped cement the image of the heart as a symbol of love and compassion.

These are the strongest theories among the so-called scholars, but there is another theory that circulated in my previous world, and that was that the heart is drawn like this because it has the resemblance to the back of a lady when she bends down...

Obviously no one took this theory seriously and it could just be an internet meme...

But when I saw that here they also use this symbol to represent a heart of -Love- I was amazed. It is incredible that two social creations appear in two societies that have not had contact. Like the pyramid constructions in the New World civilizations and the pyramids of the Egyptians, when both cultures and societies are so far apart in terms of distance and time.

Although it is also possible that the heart came along with other social things such as the holy book found in the secret temple of the Blue Crystal Grass Town.

But leaving this aside, I need clothes...

"Help me with clothes... Why this style! Looks like something is wrong!!" In Ria’s hands was a schoolgirl’s outfit. A black and red plaid skirt, long socks and a white three-button blouse with short sleeves with what appears to be a small scarlet red tie.

"What do you mean by wrong~ these are the clothes that my husband designed for me himself and it is very cute~" Ria extended her hands with the clothes towards me while pouting.

"... Fine, but I feel like your husband was a bit perv..."

"There’s no doubt about that~"

After giving Ria a white eye, I bent my knees to crawl to her location and as I got up to be on my knees I felt like I lost my balance and fell on my side.

"hehehe~ don’t worry, you will learn to balance with a tail, what’s more, when you get used to your tail you won’t be able to live without it anymore~"

Tail?

What tail??

Why do I have a Tail???

"Tail? What tail?? Why do I have a Tail??? ¡¡¡!!!"

Look back at me and it’s true! There’s a tail, and it’s moving!!

It’s a devil’s tail. About a finger thick, black in color but when it reflects light it seems to have a white surface.

The skin of the tail is a kind of scaly snake-like skin. And at the tip, as you can’t miss, there is a flattened heart shape.

"Your Succubus tail came out because you have a lot of stored energy that overflows. The last time you fainted it also came naturally, only that on that occasion you took a long time to wake up and you didn’t notice it."

"And how do I hide it again?"

"Why hide it? It’s your tail and it’s natural~ it’s a very cute tail, although it’s not as big as mine hehe~"

"HIIIIISSSSS!~ Don’t touch!!" when I looked away at Ria’s tail dancing behind her. Ria had reached out her hand and grabbed my tail.

The moment Ria took my tail, I felt my whole body go numb and lose all my strength.

"hehe~ you are very sensitive. Your tail feels good to the touch. Just do the usual and wrap it around one of your legs."

"But with pants it would be complicated..."

"Then don’t wear pants~"

"... Ains~ *sigh* I give up"

Although Ria doesn’t mind my nudity, I felt somewhat uncomfortable not having clothes to wear. Taking Ria’s schoolgirl clothes and dressing carefully so I wouldn’t lose my balance and fall again. Ria then taught me new Succubus tricks.

Now that I had a tail, Ria started giving me lessons on how to use my tail to fight, and how to use it to make love...

I discovered that the tails of the Succubus are actually as sensitive as the wings of the Fairies, but the Succubus have a way of surrounding their tails with demonic energy and making them as strong as a sword, a spear, and a Mace.

It’s like the Haki Armament of the pirate world, but more advanced and at a divine rank, or in this case, demonic rank.

I also explain the ways to hide it just like Succubus’ wings can be hidden inside the body. And unlike other pure-blood Succubus, I, being a Succubus-Fairy hybrid, will not have horns.

It seems that at some point I will have two types of wings~

Will my flight speed double?

All the time I spent in the reminiscence room I spent practicing with Ria, learning to walk, run, and fight.

Thanks to Ria’s help, I quickly got used to the movement with a tail. And I have to admit that Ria is right. Having a tail is a plus when you don’t have one!

The tail helped me a lot in the fight, not only being a new attack limb with its own abilities and strengths, but it also helps a lot in maintaining balance.

Movements that were previously difficult for me to do are now easier for me with the help of my tail!

Then I remembered the Cheetahs. Those large cats that reach high speeds and use their tail as a rudder to turn around and make tight turns, if their tails were suddenly removed, cheetahs would not be able to exert their maximum speeds.

Now I feel like I can’t live without my tail anymore...

Then dawn came. As I opened my eyes, this time in the real world, I noticed the yellow glow of the sun coming through the window curtains.

Now I feel very good and with my body full of energy despite training in the reminiscence room with Ria.

When I wanted to stretch my body to stretch out, I felt like I was in someone’s warm arms.

"umm~ Have you awakened sweetheart?"

"Uhum~ Good morning mom"

"Good morning, love, mmuack~

How do you feel?"

"I feel great, even though I’m hungry..."

"So my baby is hungry~"

"Hungry for food, not that!

I’m very fill, full of that..."

"hehe~ mom is hungry too~"

My legs were intertwined with Mom’s. My head was resting on her arm and my arms rested between our bodies.

Mom’s arms were around me and our bodies were under the blanket. I didn’t feel any moisture anywhere, and my skin and my mom’s skin felt soft to the touch.

Even though Mom’s element is lightning, it doesn’t mean that she doesn’t know how to use other types of magic, such as life magic, so I think Mom cleansed us when she finished. Although I don’t remember anything that happened since I fainted...

CRACKSH* *BOOOOM*

As my body moved gently between Mom’s arms to rub against her skin, I heard a loud noise of glass shattering from an explosion.

"Enough! is enough!! Mom let him go!!"

I felt a chill after hearing Vasi’s loud scream. Looking in the direction where the noise was coming from, I saw Mom’s room door frozen and destroyed and an angry older sister who seemed like a strong aura rose from her body and made her body sway as if she were in water.

Behind Vasi were Sera and Maia peeking into the portal of the destroyed door.

"Daughter! What did I tell you about knocking on the door before entering my room?"

Mom, is that what you call knocking on the door?

I looked at mom and rolled my eye, then I stepped out of her arms and pushed aside the sheet that covered me.

"Mmm... I need clothes..."

"Here! Brother Vremya" at one point Maia jogged in and handed me a big, long T-shirt, as well as my slippers from home.

Obviously I wasn’t going to leave the reminiscence room with Ria’s schoolgirl clothes, so I took them off and put them aside on the folded bed.

I also tried to hide my tail with transformation magic, one of the ways to hide my tail, wings, and horns (if I had them) that Ria had nothing more to tell me about.

There is no option, that suddenly appearing with a demon’s tail and wings would be very difficult to explain. Especially when I myself delivered a report on some species of parasites that could modify someone’s physical form.

"Thank you Maia!, you are the best ~ Muack~"

"Hehehe~" Maia smiled tenderly, happily, and her face flushed.
