[A fresh-faced, naturally charming succubus X a lofty, aloof deity who's acquired a taste for pleasure]
The moment the little succubus Bernice leaves the demon realm, she finds herself in a fight for survival.
Human men are either bland as cardboard or stink to high heaven. Starving and dizzy, she can only get by on little dogs.
Then, deep in the jungle, she finds a silver-haired man with golden eyes. The scent he gives off is so rich and delicious that her legs go weak.
He seems to have lost his memory. With a distant, refined air, he asks who she is.
Bernice's eyes light up, and she starts spinning a tale. "Your name is Phoenix. We grew up together!"
He seems to know nothing about the world, and she has to teach him everything.
Bernice decides to take her time and savor him slowly.
"Why are we holding hands?"
"You once said this was the best way to protect me."
"...And what is kissing?"
"It's how you say, 'I love you most of all'!"
"Wait, taking off your clothes is for..."
"Shh. It's the most intimate ritual between people in love."
Though she wants to find a backup meal, after sampling so many others, Bernice still thinks Felix is the most delicious.
She makes up her mind: from now on, she'll eat only him. Marriage! A meal ticket for life!
But one morning, Felix is gone.
At the same time, the temple bells ring across the city, celebrating the return of the deity. A new statue is erected in the plaza, with a face that looks just like the food she's lost.
Everyone is happy, except for Bernice, who is starving and seeing green.
A succubus can't just starve to death.
She searches desperately and finally finds a man who looks barely edible. But before she can enjoy him, someone suddenly grabs her by the wrist.
Felix, missing for months, stands behind her, his silver hair like snow and his gaze icy. His whole being radiates a pressure unlike anything she's ever felt. But the hand holding her is scalding hot.
After the War of the Gods, Uriel, the God of Light, exhausts his divine power, is gravely injured, loses his memory, and falls into the mortal world.
When he awakens, he finds a succubus hiding her identity lying beside him.
Uriel suppresses his emotions, intending to kill her while demons are running amok.
But she does nothing of the sort.
She simply opens her eyes at dawn and kisses his lips, tenderly saying good morning; links her arm with his when they go out; clasps his hand on the dance floor; and crawls into his arms at night... It's nothing short of blasphemy against a god!
He flees back to the temple, restores order, and tries to forget everything that happened.
But he can't help wanting to spy on what she's doing:
What! She's looking for new food?
What! She's already found someone??
What! She's about to eat him???
No.
The great God of Light thinks he ought to sacrifice himself for his followers and let the succubus feed on him, so she won't prey on anyone else.
The god, who should have been cold and aloof, pins her against the wall, eyes filled with emotions she can't understand, his voice husky.
"Eat me. I'm... tastier than he is."
