The Succubus Is Still Tempting the Gods Today

As a succubus with not the slightest talent for combat, Saliel was chosen as a candidate for Demon King, a position where combat ability was the only thing that mattered.

Aside from his looks, which his mentor deemed passable, Saliel spent every day being mocked by his mentor.

Even though Saliel devoted two-thirds of every day to training, his combat ability still couldn't meet the minimum requirement for becoming Demon King.

The punishing training left Saliel nearly fainting, but at least there were two days every month when he could catch his breath.

That was because the Demon King's library, which housed all kinds of rare out-of-print books, opened its doors to the Demon King candidates. For Saliel, who loved reading more than anything, it gave him the strength to keep going.

Then another candidate with an overwhelmingly high combat score appeared. Saliel was completely cast aside, and even the Demon King's library refused to let him in.

The entire demon race had abandoned Saliel.

Succubi never forget a grudge. If they don't hold one, then you haven't hit them where it hurts.

Unable to read, Saliel resolved to take revenge. He would use his face to seduce a human stronger than the Demon King, and make those demons taste the humiliation he'd suffered.

Thus, Sainhe, the strongest human alive, became Saliel's target.

Sainhe was a secret identity of a god reborn, and had casually killed the first Demon King.

However, when Saliel set out to win Sainhe over, his mentors, who had once scorned him, could no longer sit still.

The mentor who had always been gentle to everyone but cruel to Saliel said, "Saliel, come back. I only treated you that way before because I wanted to get your attention."

The mentor, a war-crazed man who once had no interest in love, said, "Saliel, I've only just realized how I feel. I'd rather hold you than go to war."

The candidate who had pushed him aside to take his place said, "Saliel, come back to me. I'll share the glory of the throne with you."

"..."

Just then, an arm wrapped around Saliel's still-tingling waist, and a husky, dangerous voice whispered in his ear, "Who are you looking at?"

Saliel shivered and hurriedly looked at the incomparably handsome man. "You, you!"

Sainhe fiercely kissed the succubus in his arms, kissing him until he went limp. Then he lifted his head and gave the demons a contemptuous glance. "If you want Saliel, fight me for him."

The demons: "..."

Note:

1. A succubus gong who sets out to seduce someone and ends up giving his own heart away x a shou with outrageously high combat ability who willingly lets himself be seduced.

2. The gong and shou only love each other and feel nothing for anyone else.

3. The character art was hand-drawn by an incredibly sweet friend. I love you! (voice cracks)
