As a full-grown Incubus, there were certain things he simply had to start attempting. Yotsuya Miko, right before him, was an exceptionally suitable candidate. Her appearance was excellent, her personality gentle, and Asa genuinely liked her. Most importantly, they each had needs that the other could fulfill!
The genetic memory of a Incubus told him that during 'bonding,' the human partner could also gain immense benefits. This included not just physical enhancement, but even the ability to master some Incubus/Succubus powers. It was this very trait that led other races to discover the possibility of turning Incubi/Succubi into their own source of sustenance, leading to the species being hunted to near extinction.
Asa trusted that Miko wouldn't expose his identity. Thus, he wanted to test whether the abilities he obtained through the System could also be mastered by Miko through 'bonding.'
Miko sat on the bed, feeling the atmosphere turn rather ambiguous.
"B-bonding..." Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes darted away, and explicit images flashed through her mind. "Asa-kun, you're so young, where did you hear such things..."
As she spoke, the little shota kept inching closer until her upper body was resting on the bed.
"Miko-neesan..."
"I am an Incubus."
Miko's beautiful eyes widened. Just as she processed the meaning of Asa's words, her lips were sealed by his. Miko's mind went blank instantly!
Seeing that she offered no struggle or resistance, Asa immediately employed Lewd Hand. The true power of the Incubus began to manifest.
....
In the living room, Mrs. Yotsuya was still preparing dinner. Compared to her usual practiced ease, she was a little distracted. Vaguely, she thought she heard sounds coming from Miko's room.
"This is..."
Mrs. Yotsuya's mind instantly concocted inappropriate scenarios. "No, no, why am I thinking such things again?"
Mrs. Yotsuya shook her head, tossing the images out of her mind. Ever since the little incident in the restroom, her thoughts had become extremely sensitive. She looked up at the door to Miko's room.
"It was my random speculation about Miko and Asa-kun's relationship that led to that awkward situation just now..."
"Touko, you can't be so paranoid!"
Mrs. Yotsuya chose to trust her daughter.
"I'll go out and buy some soy sauce and some seafood to properly treat Asa-kun."
Mrs. Yotsuya left the house, carrying an empty soy sauce bottle.
An hour later, Mrs. Yotsuya, who had finally finished making a lavish dinner, called out, "Miko, Asa-kun, dinner is ready!"
After the call, it took more than ten seconds for Miko's response to come.
A moment later, Mrs. Yotsuya looked at her daughter sitting across from her. Miko's cheeks were flushed, and Mrs. Yotsuya asked, slightly puzzled, "Why did you change clothes again?"
"Ah... My clothes got a little dirty just now."
"Is that so? I thought I had already done the laundry?" Mrs. Yotsuya looked confused. She also felt that her daughter's complexion looked much better than before. Her demeanor had subtly shifted, as if she had suddenly matured.
"Mom, you worked so hard on dinner, eat more!" Miko placed food on her mother's plate.
This made the latter sigh with emotion. "She's definitely growing up!"
After dinner, Asa bade Mrs. Yotsuya farewell.
"Thank you for the meal!"
Mrs. Yotsuya affectionately stroked Asa's head. "Asa-kun can come over to play anytime."
Asa glanced at Miko, whose cheeks were slightly pink, and nodded seriously. "I will definitely visit often!"
Before leaving, Asa completed his daily check-in at the Yotsuya house.
[Congratulations, Host, you have unlocked a new location.]
Ding!
[Successfully Checked In at the Yotsuya Residence. You have received the abilities [LV1. Rising Air Current] and [LV1. Thought Manipulation]]
[Rising Air Current has been upgraded to LV2.]
pLV2. Rising Air Current: Creates an air current from the ground, capable of easily blowing skirts up and away.]
[LV1. Thought Manipulation: After maintaining eye contact for three seconds, you can implant or modify the target's common sense or thoughts. Duration: three seconds. Cooldown: 30 seconds.]
Another powerful H-anime ability! Asa beamed with delight. The gains from his time at the Yotsuya house today far exceeded his expectations.
The 'bonding' with Miko was also extremely effective. The Yin Energy absorbed this time was almost equivalent to a year's worth of Lunar Yin Energy absorption. Asa felt his physique had been strengthened by at least double compared to before!
Not only that, but his conjecture was also proven correct. Through his conscious guidance, Miko truly gained the ability to use Psychic Exorcism. Although it was rudimentary, equivalent to LV0 in the system's classification, it was a start.
Most critically, his own Psychic Exorcism upgraded from LV1 to LV2!
[LV2. Psychic Exorcism: Within the range of the Psychic power, forcibly banishes all foul spirits and corruption in the world, regardless of their strength.]
[Note: The range for LV2 Psychic power is 10 cubic centimeters.]
This reinforced Asa's deep understanding of the Incubus race's power. As long as he kept doing it, he could keep improving! And he could bring others along with him!
Asa was very eager to improve. And he was sure Miko felt the same way. If it hadn't been inconvenient at the Yotsuya house just now, he would have definitely improved a few more times.
"Mom, I'll walk Asa-kun to the station."
"Mhm, be careful."
The girl took the shota's hand and walked toward the station.
Mrs. Yotsuya watched her daughter's somewhat awkward gait and frowned slightly.
"Did she twist her ankle when she fell in the restroom earlier?"
