"Honestly! You're a Succubus, yet you're practically a disgrace to all Succubi!"
Miranda grew even more exasperated at her failure to live up to expectations.
"Forget it. Since you don't know how to take the initiative, I'll teach you..."
As she spoke, she leaned close to Elise's ear and whispered for a while.
"Huh? Wouldn't that be a little inappropriate?"
Miranda's bold words made Elise's pretty face flush faintly.
The heart-shaped tail behind her swayed helplessly.
"What's inappropriate about it?"
Miranda spoke with perfect confidence. "You're a Succubus, and you even possess the Succubus Saint Body! Naturally, you should make use of your strengths!"

"I understand. I'll do as you said."
"Now that's more like it."
Miranda giggled.
"Come on, I'll dress you up next. I guarantee we'll bring out your greatest charm!"

Yet after giving it a cursory read, his heart sank.
"It's too difficult..." he murmured.
The True Demon Codex truly deserved to be called an Ultimate Skill of the Demon
