Depraved Hero's Path: Enslaved Monster Girl Harem In The Apocalypse!-Chapter 41: Visions & Trouble

The bus, following its path, eventually left the park that had turned into a forest.

Katherine, Marianne, and Léa all went to the front of the bus, gazing into the distance.

"We're getting closer to the city." Léa muttered.

"Is that smoke?" Katherine squinted. "I wonder how things are there..."

"..." Marianne didn't say a word.

She couldn't get a word out.

The instant that she gazed upon the smoke in the distance, her eyes went blank, and she took a seat.

"Marianne? Are you okay?"

With vacant eyes, Marianne stared at the ground.

"Yes." She lied.

Strange images had suddenly appeared inside her mind. Visions of who knows where.

She saw airplanes crashing into buildings, Goblins that wielded knives, and flames.

Blazing flames that scorched the earth. Streams of fire that came down from the skies and onto the ground.

Meanwhile, a couple of seats back.

"I missed you, Master~" Zarath whispered. She had taken Katherine's seat, and was sticking close to him.

"Did you, now?" Elijah muttered, looking through the broken window at his side.

"Sticking me behind and binding me with my own Skill... That was so rude!"

"Yeah, sorry about that."

"It's okay, Master~" She wrapped her arms around his, and got close enough to lodge his arm between her breasts. "I didn't totally dislike it."

"What are you trying to do?"

"I'm trying to do... What a Succubus and her Master should do. What they should do all the time!" The Succubus explained, her knees rubbing against one another. "Do you want us to move all the way back? From those seats, no one would see us~"

"I'm not interested." Elijah answered bluntly.

She tilted her head, staring right at him.

"Why would you lie to me, Master?" Zarath asked, genuinely confused. "I know you want us to."

"Is that so?"

"Of course." She grinned. "It was proven earlier. You might have broken free from the intoxication... But the desire remains, doesn't it?"

"It doesn't."

The Succubus smiled and got closer.

"You don't have to lie to me." She whispered, sending a hot, misty breath to his ear. "We can keep it a secret from the others."

Elijah turned to face her for a moment, and her smile widened.

She lowered her head, burying her chin in his arm, as if to hide her smile and blushing.

"That's my seat." Katherine said, standing right in front of them.

Zarath remained silent for a moment.

"Right." She nodded, before moving. "Here you go."

Katherine's eyebrow started twitching.

Instead of taking back the seat behind Elijah, Zarath decided otherwise.

"This is fine, isn't it?" She asked after taking a seat on Elijah's lap, her legs perpendicular to his.

"It's not." Katherine answered. "Your legs are in the way. Take your seat behind us."

"My legs, huh? Hm..." Zarath thought for a moment, before turning around. "Should be good now, right? Or is this not about your seat?"

Katherine was fuming internally. Still, she managed to let it go.

Katherine regained her seat next to Elijah while Zarath was still seated on his lap. Her legs were running along his.

'At least she isn't lying on him.' Indeed, her back was a good couple of inches away from Elijah's chest. 'Ugh, what else can I say? It's like we're together or anything. I mean... He did give me a ring but... Well...'

"Careful!" The driver shouted as he suddenly hit the brakes.

"What the fuck?" Marianne cursed, finally snapping out of it.

"Is everything alright?" Léa asked as she turned back.

Katherine was, in fact, not alright.

Using the forward momentum due to the brakes, Zarath let her body lean forward and lay her hands on the seat in front of her. She turned around slightly, face blushing, breasts dangling, and butt rounded due to her leaning. Additionally, her short skirt had moved up quite a bit.

What, a second ago, could almost seem innocent, was now as lewd as could be.

"A-Are you okay, Master~" She asked with an innocent voice.

"Oh, hell no." Katherine suddenly whispered, standing up from her seat. "Just take the seat, alright?"

"Huh? But I'm nice and comfortable on Master's lap! You can keep your seat, it's okay." The Succubus smiled cheekily.

"No, really. It's okay. Take it." Katherine was smiling as well.

Both were smiling, but sparks of animosity could be seen flickering in the air as they stared at each other.

Eventually, both came to the conclusion that Elijah needed to-

"Is there something you want to say?" He asked.

"Well..." Léa scratched her head. "Yeah. Can we...?" She pointed at the back of bus.

"Sure."

A moment later, Elijah and Léa were at the back of the bus.

Zarath and Katherine were seated next to one another.

"I fucking hate you." The Succubus whispered.

"Why are you so mad? I didn't do anything." Katherine said with a calm voice, chuckling internally.

"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be this hungry."

"I hope you starve to death." Katherine answered bluntly.

"Ha. So you'll only play the nice girl when he's around, huh?"

"Aren't you doing the same?"

"I could choke you out with my chains before you could even see them coming."

"You're welcome to try." Katherine unclenched her fist, and a fireball appeared above her palm. "Steaks and minced beef for all."

The Succubus's right eyebrow started twitching as well.

"Are you calling me a cow?"

Meanwhile, Marianne found herself lost in thought as she stared at that fireball. Completely zoned out. Only the flames remained. Suddenly, the iciest shivers hit. She crossed her trembling arms while her teeth clanked.

'What the hell... Is happening to me?'

Overwhelming anxiety.

'It's the same feeling... The same feeling I got when...'

***

"Well?" Elijah asked after Léa remained silent for a while.

She scratched her cheek and took a deep breath in.

Léa's hands reached for the bottom of her T-shirt.

The next second, only her pants and bras remained.

Léa gulped, blushing slightly. She turned around, exposing her back to him.

"Ha." Elijah chuckled. "You're really trying to get me in trouble."
