"You can't even put on clothes properly? I really have no way to deal with you!" Hilo snatched the clothes from Arya's hands.
Then he opened the clothes and put Arya's hands into the sleeves.
Seeing this, Felia also came over to help, asking, "What's wrong with her?"
She's not human, right?
“Yes, she’s an orc.” Hilo nodded, then continued, “Her tribe was destroyed by goblins.”
She escaped and stayed near the destroyed tribe, waiting for her companions to return.
But we arrived before she did.
She told us that her people had been enslaved by goblins.
"Orcs..."
Felia suddenly thought of something.
Her family has ancient books that record the orcs.
Humans must have had contact with orcs many years ago.
However, most of the world has now become the territory of the demons, and the territory of the orcs has also been swallowed up by the demons, and the two sides no longer have any contact.
"I think her identity must be very special," Felia murmured as she helped Arya straighten her clothes.
"Special status? Why?" Hilo didn't understand.
"This is a forest, not a snowfield. Her hair and skin color would be difficult to hide in the forest."
So I think she must have a family that has never had to hunt themselves for generations.
...No, maybe I'm overthinking it.
"A tabby cat can give birth to a white cat," Felia said calmly.
"You mean she's a rich girl like you...? Hmm... I'm not sure." Shiloh pouted.
What kind of unladylike young lady is that!
An Yi sees him completely naked all the time!
He's clearly a pervert, okay?!
However, her inability to dress properly makes her seem quite like a spoiled young lady.
But that's a stereotype.
Also a young lady from a wealthy family, Felia is quite capable. (Nine)

After months of hardship and exhaustion, the group of succubi, led by Rose, who had escaped, finally found a reliable source of intelligence.
Upon arriving in a relatively upscale city, they finally found a succubus shop within the demon realm, a shop that catered specifically to high-ranking demons.
"You succubi are from human territory? No wonder you have so little magic."
Are you looking for the Queen of Succubi?
There's no use looking for her now. The entire demon race knows that the Succubus Queen has entered a new cycle of reincarnation, living a new life with the magic power of her predecessor.
"If I look closely, she's only eight years old this year, right?"
Rose: "Steal a young man? Pull him out of his age?!"

"Wait... what are you saying? The entire demon race knows, but I didn't hear any news about it before I came here?" Rose asked, puzzled.
"Oh, maybe the demons you encountered were too weak. Normal high-level demons should know that." The succubus shopkeeper shrugged.
“This…” Rose looked troubled, remained silent for a while, and then continued, “Never mind, just tell me the location of our clan.”
"While I can't understand your suggestion that the Succubus Queen is still in reincarnation, we can still rely on the higher-ups of our race, right?"
"I haven't been to our clan's location much, so I can only give you a general area."
As for reincarnation...
The Queen of Succubi was unable to bear any offspring from birth to death, and would immediately revert to an infant upon her death.
They won't retain their memories, but they will retain their strength, and then begin a new round of growth.
In other words, the Succubus King is immortal.
Moreover, unlike ordinary succubi, the Queen of Succubi's magical power continuously replenishes even without food. The succubus shopkeeper's eyes gleamed with undisguised longing as she spoke.
She could have kept quiet and not told Rose so much, but she did anyway, which showed that she admired the immortal succubus queen to some extent.
"Immortality...? Then her power must be incredibly strong!" Rose suddenly asked excitedly.
Although I know she's the Queen of Succubi, and her power must be immense, if she's immortal...
Perhaps he will be more powerful than the kings of all other races?!
"Of course." The succubus shopkeeper smiled. "The Queen of Succubi was the wife of the first Demon King countless years ago."
The first Demon King sacrificed his life to grant his beloved wife immortality.
With each cycle of reincarnation, the Succubus Queen can accumulate power and save it for the next cycle.
so……"
"The Queen of Succubi should be the most...!"
"Do not.
Over the years, every generation of Demon Kings has harbored the desire to kill her.
However, due to the magical power accumulated by her over countless years, no demon king has been able to break through her defenses since some point in time.
Therefore, successive demon kings began to focus on her reincarnation, cultivating her into a less warlike demon in each reincarnation.
No one can hurt her, but she also has no intention of hurting others.
Rather than saying she's the strongest, it's more accurate to say... she's the weakest.
"Life after life, she will be a loving queen," the succubus shopkeeper said with a smile.
Rose stood there, her mouth slightly agape.
Even our own clan's leadership can't be relied upon!
Those high-ranking officials will definitely avoid all conflict and do everything they can to mold the Succubus King into a good kid who doesn't like fighting!
How can we get the Succubus Queen to deal with humans then?!
From the very beginning, Rose wanted to use the influence of the Succubus Queen to promote the "man-made disaster theory".
Right now;
Humans are dangerous.
Humans will destroy the demons.
They are cruel and brutal, killing demons indiscriminately and seizing their territory.
Of course, Rose had just told the succubus shop owner these words as well.
"Although I don't know what humans are, I advise you not to spread these ideas to your own people."
"We succubi are not a warlike race, and if the higher-ups of our race find out that you are advocating for racial war, they will certainly expel you," the succubus shopkeeper warned.
"...There's no need to go back to our clan now," Rose sighed softly.
I never imagined that the Queen of Succubi would be so unreliable!
"It's quite good within our own territory, because within our own territory, succubi don't need to replenish their magic."
With your physical bodies, you wouldn't be able to move an inch here, would you?
This is advice for you low-level succubi: you'd better go back to your own kind.
"At least there, no demons will treat you roughly." A hint of pity flashed in the succubus shopkeeper's eyes.
Rose was stunned for a moment, then her eyes welled up with tears.
She knew how arduous the journey had been, and she knew the hardships her children had endured, including the deaths of some succubi at the hands of different demon races.
At least I won't be treated roughly...
The word "brutal" is very apt.
After returning to the Demon Realm, Rose was treated roughly and even regretted returning.
If I had known from the beginning it would be so tough, I would have preferred to live in another city in human territory.
Even if it means escaping the hero's pursuit, it's better than being tormented and exhausted by the demons.
At least the heroes aren't interested in them, and they can control humans at will.
Perhaps life would be much easier in human territory.
But... we've already come this far, we can't just turn back.
“Thank you for telling me so much. We’ll head back to our homeland now,” Rose said gratefully.
"You're welcome. You've had it tough too. We're all from the same race, so helping each other out is only right." The succubus shopkeeper smiled.
Succubi are inherently a demon race with very rich emotions. Because they are not strong in combat or in terms of physical strength, they do not have the inexplicable fighting spirit of ordinary demons, which allows them to develop more complex emotions.
The succubus shopkeeper also felt pity for Rose and her men.
Rose nodded and turned to leave.
"Oh, right."
Suddenly, the succubus shop owner spoke up.
Do you know the Little Devil King?
“Little…Demon King?” Rose was taken aback.
"Yes, the Little Demon King is the Demon King's daughter. She was friends with the Succubus Queen two thousand years ago and accompanied her through several reincarnations."
If you can meet her, she might be able to help you in some way.
