Story: Konosuba Succubus Shop

 

Kazuma was in hell. He was pretty sure that he was hell. Which makes sense really, considering that he's surrounded by the most useless idiots in the entire world, and they all. Have. The Nymphomania. Status.

That sounds amazing from the perspective of a porn plot, but... sorry to rain on everyone's parade, it's not really a thing. Well, not in the way the term historically implies.

Nymphomania was an actual medical diagnosis, but it's one of those historical medical concepts that has since fallen out of use, largely because it was built upon deeply flawed assumptions about female sexuality.

It was particularly prominent in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when medical professionals operated under the rather questionable assumption that women were supposed to have relatively little sexual desire. Consequently, a woman displaying what was considered an excessive interest in sex could be diagnosed with a psychological or physical disorder.

It was, in many respects, rather similar to the way hysteria was used: a medical label that could be applied to women whose behaviour, desires or personalities didn't conform to contemporary expectations of femininity.

Now, that isn't to say that compulsive sexual behaviour doesn't exist. Modern medicine recognises that some people genuinely struggle to control their sexual impulses, to the point where it negatively affects their lives. But having a particularly high libido, enjoying sex, or simply having a greater appetite for it than the people around you isn't a medical disorder.

In other words, the historical concept of nymphomania tells us considerably more about the attitudes of the people diagnosing it than it does about the women receiving the diagnosis. It is a pretty meaningless term in the modern era, save telling the likely other attitudes of those who would use it unironically for real women.

Luckily, this is not the world we live in, and 'Nymphomania' can be an actual factual status effect here. We'd already discussed previously exactly what this effect would have in this world - we can compare it to how Paralysis or Confusion or Poison mean different things to what they would mean in the real world. Mechanically, that's, uh, really not how they ought to function.

To wit: Kazuma was currently being kissed by Megumin, having Darkness give him a titjob, while Aqua was humping him. Where, specifically? Everywhere. She was moving constantly, grinding her extremely, soaking wet pussy up against him to the point you'd swear that she was trying to give him the most unconventional bath in recorded history. As for their newest party member? She was apparently more interested in making out with Aqua than doing anything with him.

Was Kazuma enjoying it? Yes - in the past tense, he was. Not so much in the present tense! Give a man a steak, and he'll eat it down. Force feed a man enough steaks to match his own body mass, and he'll very likely try to stop you. Such is the problem with the Nymphomania status effect: a person's capacity for pleasure is not an obligation to provide it indefinitely.

Anyway, his gaze was more lingering on the slowly retreating form of, apparently, the mother of his children,and also his children. Guhhhh! He was feeling quite conflicted about this! He's a NEET! He's too much of a NEET to be a father! But on the other hand, his instincts were screaming at him to keep them safe, protect them!

"Mmm, Kazuma...~" Darkness mewled. "Ruin me as a woman~"

But at the same time he also wanted to give them siblings! Guh! Oh, what a dreadful, shocking situation he's found himself in all of a sudden! He tried not to imagine it. He tried not to imagine -

A little Aqua with his hair colour stumbling around the place crying her eyes out. A little version of himself with red eyes, standing on a rock making ridiculously over the top proclamations. Or a blonde version of him poking a dog with a stick, as if daring it to attack him. Also, a version of him with pointed ears observing everyone else with a smirk on his face.

While that scene was adorable and precious it was also strangely horrifying and Kazuma did not know how to react to it at all. Not that he had much say in the matter. He wasn't going anywhere for a while... But here's the thing about that. Because of the cursed little trinket that had done this to them? The more it hurt, the more he was healing up, and the more horny energy was being fed into the group~

Imagine that, one moment, you're a mindless beast going about your business eating whatever biomass is unfortunate enough to get stuck in your body. Then, all of a sudden, you're no longer a mindless beast. You have a personality. You have intelligence. More to the point, you have an actual gender!

She wasn't gonna question it. She was simply going to go along with it. She could vaguely recall from some internal instinct that there were slimes out there that were capable of taking on human form, but she shouldn't be nearly strong enough for that.

Anyway! She looked down at her offspring with great pride. They weren't the first offspring she'd produced, of course, but that normally simply involved mitosis. Not sexual reproduction!

"Momma I wanna eat that!" one of them said, pointing to a rabbit hiding under a bush.

"Later dear," she said. "We'll be eating human food in the human city soon enough. It'll taste much better than bunny."

Probably. She was making assumptions here. They were holding human form well enough for now, at least, including the clothing. Hopefully they didn't get too hungry and drop their guard, especially in public, because there was a hero's guild right there in the middle of town.

Still, she giggled. As a slime, she could do housework in a way that other housewives couldn't. She could simply run her finger across the surface - and slurp all the dust and stains up, right away! 

Anyway! She had so much work to do and such a small amount of time to do it in! Oh dear, she was quite certain that the others would enjoy Kazuma quite a bit. Strange that they hadn't noticed the spell that was affecting them, but - Aha! Here we go! The human settlement!

Aha! There was someone approaching them! A woman with quite audacious curves, by the looks of it. She seemed quite stressed about something or other, and - Hrm. she didn't quite smell like a human, though?

"Pardon me!" she called out, keeping her children close to her. "How far is it to the city?"

"Eh? Oh, it's, like, right over there," the stranger said, turning a bit and - were those wings under her clothes? Also, goodness, she was pretty sure human women didn't have curves like that. "Okay, thanks, bye!"

"You're not hiding it very well, miss!" one of her children said.

"Eh? Not hiding what?" the woman asked. "Hahaha! You're lucky you're adorable! Bye bye, grow up big and strong now~"

And then she actually flew off on those badly concealed wings. Oh well. That was none of her business. What was her business was getting out of here before a rather less intelligent monster found them, and - 

And to be quite frank, that did not seem like a high bar to clear...

=====

They seemed nice, but seriously now, she had to hurry! Crud, crud, crud! Where were they, where were they?! It was her own stupid fault, you know? She'd messed up. Their oh so brilliant plan to keep that Goddess out of their business! Ah! It was bound to backfire at this rate!

See, she'd been noticing a lot more lust energy pouring in lately, but they couldn't use it because it was tainted with divinity. As it turned out - making a Goddess horny makes her leak a lot of lust energy. And a Goddess' divinity has a nasty habit of making other forms of energy tainted as well! For creatures of the night like a succubus, it was like - it was like asking a human being to cake their face in lead.

Which, yes, real people in history did. Up until fairly recently, too! Romans drank from lead, used it to decorate - the material had seemed miraculous, for its sheer versatility, but it was also remarkably poisonous, the more you were exposed to it the worse it affected you over time, but -

The point is that they couldn't let this continue. They couldn't simply let Aqua become so horny that she tainted everything around with her lust!

The absolute worst case scenario would be if she got afflicted with the Nymphomaniac status effect, but - Come on, now. What were the chances of that...?
