It's easy to forget, but the core underlying premise of this story is that the book was possessed by a succubus. We've not checked in on her yet, which is kind of, I don't know, thoughtless? She is technically a character rather crucial to the story so maybe we should see how she's getting on?
"Urgh, these two are such normies!" she pouted inside the book. "I figured letting them get laid might awaken something, but noooo, they're content to just go for expanding the friendship harem!"
That's not a terrible thing for them to be doing, but it was also kinda getting dull. At least to her point of view. As far as this author can tell, other people seem to be having fun. Of course, this does carry risks as a writer - if a character in universe is getting bored of events it might (incorrectly) give the impression that so is the writer, and therefore, so should the audience. It's one of those situations where -
"Hey, can you quit doing the internal meta-bullshit and focus on my needs, like you said you were gonna do?"
Sorry! You know how I get.
"Look at them," the succubus said. If she had a face right now she'd be pouting. If she had arms, she'd be crossing them petulantly. "Worn out already by that overenthusiastic tomboy going a little too hard? Fooie. What they need is a stamina boost."
Which being friends with someone wouldn't naturally grant. Hrmph. So, all they were doing right now was growing their harem, bigger and bigger. That's not bad, but... Come on, we can do more than that, can't we? She'd managed to drop a few ideas subconsciously to others reading the book, like getting Nabiki to work on pulling in girl form Ranma, but -
But the thing is, when you're a succubus bound to a book, you kind of get bored quickly. The lack of stimulation for a being that thrives off of stimulation is a very special kind of hell itself. At least when nobody was using her for a while she could switch off entirely and wait for someone to open the book, but now that she was being read regularly? Now that she was bound to several mortals? Gotta live through them, gotta watch them rut, gotta passively drain away some energy from the sexual release, but it's not enough. It's not nearly enough for her to get free anytime within the lifetime of anyone involved.
Especially if they're such weaklings that a bout of intense sex like that is gonna wear them out!
What she needed to do now was switch things up a bit. Look through her options and try to expand her input of sexual energy. This was hot, but it was not enough.
She'd kinda hoped that roping in that Saotome dork would have helped, because he's the centre of a lot of sexual attention, and that curse is super interesting. Actually, as it turned out, he only wanted to ride Akane because, at heart, he's a dorky romantic and he feels a strong emotional connection with her, which is all yuck. Sure, he was banging the other girls, but his own lust was pretty damper than it should be because, again, that dork's too much of a late bloomer to fucking appreciate what he had handed to him on a silver platter.
I mean, good gracious, take a good long look at Ukyo Kuonji and tell me that's not a girl worth drooling over. Cute as a button, got a super nice body, bubbly personality, the fact that Ranma still functionally saw her as a male friend - not a sex friend, like he was now viewing Akane, but an actual friend who he happened to have sex with?
Give her a fucking break! That's so fucking lame! Urgh!
At least with Akane, her thoughts were now much more lustful than the others. She'd awakened to her perverted side - though her time with Ranma was rather tamed by the fact that she was also madly in love with him. She was, at least, generating a whole lot more lust over the situation than he was, which could only be seen as a benefit.
Alright, what about the sisters? Nabiki's pretty horny, but it's mostly about the power for her. She's way more into what it gets her for entertainment purposes than anything horny or lewd. To put it another way, her sin is greed, not lust, and even the sexual aspect of the whole thing is more tied towards getting her more shit than it is satisfying her libido.
How about Yuka and Sayuri? Well, they're fairly normal girls, so they're giving off a fairly normal amount of lust. Not much more to say about either of them. Sayuri's more into girls than Yuka, while Yuka seems a bit more... Eh? It's hard to get a full read on her. Probably from a family of exorcists or something, and hasn't twigged fully to what's going on yet. One to watch, for sure, but for now she's under control.
And then there's Hinako Ninomiya, the horniest of the lot of them. Sexually repressed in no small part due to how messed up her situation is. I mean, if you think about it, bouncing between two ages like that is gonna mess with your hormones something fierce. Her adult form? Super hot. Stupid hot. Generates a fuckton of lust. If she could choose a body to inhabit, right now, it would be her - but that would require her doing something stupid lke trying to drain the book, and only the book, of its energy. Nobody else could be in the path. She'd basically have to take aim and miss with her coin while trying to top up, and right now?
She didn't need to. She's currently stuck as a tall leggy, oh so leggy, curvy, busty babe. So, on the one hand, there's no reason for her to go around draining folk. On the other, that means she has no reason at all to drain the book and let the succubus in.
Alright! Stock taken. What now?
The obvious answer is... Shampoo. Definitely need to rope in that hot piece of ass. Maybe Kodachi as well...? Need to explore options here, think, think, who else is around... Hibiki? Yeah, there's something about hooking that woobie up with Ranma's girl form that tickles the pleasure centre of the brain.
But that was just putting a bandaid on the core problem. Drawing in more lust. More desire, more carnal pleasure for the sake of pleasure. Not greed, not power, not lust, but pure carnal 'I gotta tap that' energy. More than what this cornball group of idiots could form. Throwing more people in isn't going to cut the mustard.
This needs a fundamental shift in strategy. Something that would let them draw in a whole lot of lust, enough for her to actually manifest her own body and properly influence the world as something other than a book. A change in strategy, a change in plans, a change in fundamental philosophy was required at this point.
For one thing, encourage more lewd behaviour out in public. More strutting around in miniskirts and hotpants and crop tops and whatever, get the boys turned on. Heck, get Ranma in boy form doing exercise shirtless out where girls can see him. That's bound to get some motors going. Yeah. Yeah! Things like that, draw in more appeal from further afar. Things like that would work way better than drawing in more members into this little polyglot!
At the same time though definitely recruiting Shampoo that hottie is way too fuckable to not have riding Ranma's dick or sitting on Akane's face as soon as possible.
Now, this attitude might not jibe too well with the 'friendly' bit of the theming, in the minds of some. True enough, that attitude isn't exactly the warmest or most considerate. Then think of it this way instead. It's not just that she's bored for her own sake. No, no, she's bored for their sake too! As weird as that might seem, she is bored for their sake!
"Alright, alright, let's see, let's see..." she began. "Clearly they need that stamina boost to keep up with the harem they're forming, and that Akane is clearly going to continue, and -"
And she stopped upon noticing that Ranma and Akane were scissoring passionately to get each other off, while Ukyo was frenching Ranma. Whose harem was this again?
"Back up, you're getting distracted because you're actively seeking out stimulation..." the succubus told herself. It came with the territory. Not much you can do as a book. This whole existence was contradictory to her very nature at a fundamental level, she needed some sort of outlet here. "Alright, let's explore options. Let's see, let's see..."
That's when it hit her. Of course. Of course! That was exactly what they needed now. It was such a clear way forward, it was a wonder she had not considered it before.
A book club. Yes, a humble, simple book club!
