those trio succubus really let their guard down really low

Daughter-fication is at 95%

Does he have a passive INT debuff field? The friends were depicted as at least somewhat intelligent. It would explain why they gave out their names so easily.

Well, they are creatures of passion, aren't they? Got caught up in the moment.

 

[Romisterie]

would be funny if succubi change according the desire of their target and since his greatest desire is so pure they became that.

 

[vhr2121]

So, just to confirm their names (and the fact that MC freaked out because he just got that wave of info)

Blue - Ruu.
Green - Noel.
Pink - Monica.

Alright...

 

[KappaDvorak]

Too cute. Hopefully author doesn't pull drama shit they're too precious

 

[sephtis]

And that's game over. They cannot recover from this level of daughterfication

Succubi. Succubus (singular) follows the same grammatical rules as cactus/cacti (singular/plural). What this is called, I don't know. Anyway, this is cute. Big Daddy is gonna need a larger apartment soon.

Ah whoops, you are correct. Thank you.

It's called "pluralizing like a Latin 2nd declension noun", but there's nothing wrong with regularizing it as an English noun either. It's been used in English for over 600 years after all.

The funny thing is that while people prescriptively insist on sticking to Latin declensions for pluralization, they ignore all the changes that should be applied to different cases. And also don't pronounce the word as you would in Latin (for instance, the "-i" ending would sound like "ee" /i/, not "eye" /aj/).

We can go further down the rabbit hole: in Latin, it would more likely have been a first-declension noun, succuba (pl. succubae). The formation we got was from a parallel construction to incubus instead, even though putting an explicitly feminine noun in 2nd declension is quite unusual.

In conclusion: you really shouldn't worry about how someone pluralizes "succubus". Any attempt at trying to define a certain variant as "more correct" is pretty doomed.

I'm not reposting all that just for a respone

I see, very interesting. How does that relate to cacti though?

It's a strange rabbit hole to be sure, but after reading up on it I found out that it’s pluralized that way because of how English writers in medieval times were attempting to emulate Latin.
