Episode 147. Weekend?

“Hngh, Haaah….”

“Hoooh….”

Slap-

Still lost in the afterglow of climax, I gave Liliana’s firm ass a smack as she buried her face in the bed, then got myself off the mattress.

Scarlet was panting beside us.

Every time Liliana took me inside her, she’d retaliated against Scarlet with her tail just as much as she felt pleasure.

“Scarlet. To bring back this kind of information in just one day, you really are an elite of Iris.”

“Th, thank you….”

She seemed about the same age as Professor Im Sol or Nam Daeun, and it was quite pitiful seeing her trembling and soiling my bed with her fluids after being captured by some nasty succubus.

“Get yourself together and head back. Bring me something good next time too.”

“Y-yes.”

Scarlet slowly started to gather her clothes.

Truly the mark of an Iris elite.

Meaning she’s in the top ten percent of stealth magic users… should I call her a ‘ten-pro’?

“…Guess I’m only thinking stupid thoughts because I’ve been using up my yang energy.”

If Liliana could read my mind, she’d probably curse me out again, saying I was ruining the mood.

I stretched and left the room.

It was getting dark outside, so it looked like it was almost time for bed.

Since there were no further announcements, I guess I could roam around tomorrow.

Well, I did find the Mind, stop the terrorism, and even hand-delivered a high-ranking official. What else is there to investigate?

When I turned on my smartwatch, all the notifications I’d turned off during sex flooded in.

“Did they all make plans together?”

I checked the messages one by one.

– Ahyoung-ssi : Sorry. Been busy.

“She sounds really upset.”

This is the first time I’ve gotten such a cold reply.

This is the kind of reply I always got after fighting with a girlfriend, leaving me wondering how to respond, and now I was in that exact situation.

I might have been a little harsh on my Ahyoung-ssi.

But there was no helping it.

Besides, Nam Daeun is already in a state where she can’t possibly abandon me.

How could anyone abandon someone whose affection level reached 99?

As much as I wanted to hug her and comfort her right now, things in this world don’t work out so easily.

I have several women I need to conquer right now… If I try to pursue a pure love route with each one, I’ll likely end up getting stabbed and dying.

They say there’s no ‘upper’ or ‘lower’ hand in relationships, but here, I absolutely must hold the upper hand.

If I can’t do that, I have to stop the conquest.

Even if it’s slow, I need to conquer them perfectly to survive.

Because a harem route is meaningless if each individual conquest isn’t perfect.

“Sip. I should at least reply.”

– Me : Ahyoung-ssi. I’ll come visit you sometime soon. Rest well.

It’s the ‘If you reply casually, I’ll reply casually too’ tactic.

Often used in couple fights where neither side yields an inch.

It means [I want to make up after a fight, but I don’t want to apologize first].

I’ll have to deal with Nam Daeun like this for a while.

If I wait long enough, she’ll eventually lower her head and come around.

I just need to wait for that moment.

“Surin noona… and Alice is here too?”

I hadn’t contacted Alice at all since we exchanged numbers, yet she contacted me first.

First, I checked Moon Surin’s message from earlier.

– Surin noona : Hoyeon-ah. Do you have time this weekend? You went through a lot during the terrorism, so I’ll treat you to a meal ^^

“She sounds really cheerful.”

She must be incredibly tired from dealing with the aftermath of the terrorism.

Did something good happen?

– Me : Of course! Please pick a convenient day, either Saturday or Sunday.

You can’t refuse a beautiful woman offering a free meal.

I should meet her once to check Moon Surin’s mental state too.

Looking at EveryDay, it’s getting dangerous.

– Alice : I have something to discuss regarding massages. Contact me if you have time.

It’s here.

It’s finally here.

But there’s something I need to check first.

“Scarlet.”

“Yes?”

I spoke to Scarlet, who had just clung to the ceiling to leave.

“You know Alice is looking for a mana massage therapist, right?”

“Of course. It’s classified information, but I am one of her confidants.”

Thump-

Scarlet descended from the ceiling to listen to me, standing attentively.

Good posture.

“Find out how far things have progressed and let me know immediately.”

“Understood. Should I find out as quickly as possible?”

Just like the ace she is, she understood instantly.

I nodded.

“Yes. The sooner, the better.”

“Yes!”

Scarlet clenched her fist, then clung back to the ceiling and shot out like a lizard, shushushyuk–

It’s all well and good, but can’t she stop doing that?

Honestly, every time I have sex with Liliana, I think about it, and it really breaks my concentration.

It makes me have weird thoughts, like she might suddenly cling nakedly to the ceiling and escape mid-coitus.

She’s still Liliana’s assistant… but honestly, watching them together gets me worked up.

So even though I want to pound Scarlet, thinking of that pose makes me not want to.

“I definitely need to talk to her about this later. Please, just leave normally.”

Anyway, I need to get the information straight before meeting Alice.

Knowing whether she’s in a desperate situation or a comfortable one will help me decide my course of action.

“She did boast so confidently, so she should bring it back quickly, right?”

I decided to hold off on replying to Alice for now.

Judging by the situation, I can afford to play it cool for a day or two.

– Lucy : Try this! Doesn’t it look fun?

Lucy sent me something about MBTI or whatever it’s called.

I heard it’s really popular among girls these days.

I talk a lot about everyday things with Lucy and Lumi, so they’re the easiest to feel comfortable with.

I see them the most, too.

“I can’t let the ‘friend’ vibe get too strong though….”

If we get too friendly, it becomes awkward to transition into that kind of relationship.

I want to wrap things up cleanly with Lucy and Lumi too. What should I do?

“Hmm… Ah, I’ve been thinking too hard, my head hurts.”

I went into the shower room to clear my head.

Saturday morning.

Sensing movement, I got up from bed and found Scarlet kneeling beside me.

“I’ve found out.”

“… Already?”

“Yes. Perfectly.”

Scarlet looked up, flashing a confident smile.

“Agh, alright. Report.”

“Kyaaah?!”

I wasn’t fully awake yet, but I could still receive the report.

I looked at Scarlet while touching Liliana’s breast beside me.

Scarlet glanced at Liliana’s tail twitching erratically in her sleep, swallowed hard, and met my eyes.

“First, we estimate there are 28 massage therapists who have contacted Alice-nim. There might be others not recorded, but this is highly likely.”

“28 people… How many did she see per day then?”

It’s only been 6 days since the survival ended, so 28 people means she received massages more than 4 times a day.

“All the massage therapists were female, and the last record suggests she even called in retired ones.”

“Hooh… If she’s calling in retired people, she must be running out of options, huh?”

“Yes. She’s called in all active S-class and top A-class massage therapists, as well as others with unique talents.”

“She’s desperate…. Good.”

At this point, I could probably just tell her to screw herself.

Of course, affection levels are important, so I can’t just go wild saying, “I won’t do it unless you take off your clothes.”

I just need to maintain a reasonable boundary.

“Yes. I’ve compiled the data here, so you can review the details.”

“Thanks. Anything else unusual?”

“Alice-yang was masturbating last night while calling out Lee Hoyeon-nim’s name. It was much more intense than yesterday. I have a video, would you like to see it?”

“Uh… Thanks. Give it to me for now.”

I could probably just call it a massage and shove my dick in.

Of course, that’s not how I should conquer her.

“You worked hard. Want to stay here until Liliana wakes up?”

“Yes. I would appreciate that!”

“Have you eaten breakfast?”

“Not yet.”

“Then I’ll make breakfast. Wait here.”

I’ve been eating nothing but delivery food lately, feels like I’ve put on some weight.

Sometimes I miss K-home cooking.

We live in an era where even K-home cooking can be delivered, but it lacks the right feeling.

Sometimes I miss the vibe from when I lived alone.

Today is one of those times.

“Oh, you don’t have to do that!”

“It’s fine. And why are you so disciplined/formal?”

“Aah! That’s just a habit from reporting to my superiors!”

Scarlet shot up and rubbed her thigh as if she had a cramp.

“Tsk.”

This girl is really something else.

I opened the fridge to check the ingredients.

There should have been leftover ingredients after I made kimchi stew last time… but they’re gone?

“What the hell, where did they all go?”

Where did this crazy succubus put all the ingredients I bought?

I went into the room and pulled on Liliana’s nipple as she slept soundly.

“Kyaahk?! Aah! Wh-what?! Are you crazy?”

“Where’s all the chopped green onions and kimchi I prepared?”

“I threw them out because you weren’t going to eat them anyway! They don’t even taste good with chicken! You liar!”

“No, you crazy…”

This is what happens when you don’t keep her in check; she’s starting to act like a degenerate again.

Kimchi chicken is delicious!

They say you can’t fix a succubus, just discipline them. I guess I need to lay down the law.

“You, come here.”

I mounted the lying Liliana, reached down, and started pulling her tail.

I already knew this was her weak spot.

“Wh-what are you doing! Aah! Help me, Scout!”

“L-Liliana-nim…!”

Scarlet climbed onto the bed, hesitated between Liliana and me, and then met my eyes.

‘Hey, you have to take my side here if you want her punished.’

‘…!’

Scarlet understood my gaze and started holding down Liliana’s arms and legs.

“I’m sorry!”

“Kyaaah! Scout! You’re really crazy! Aah! Master! I’m sorry! I actually thought you’d pounce on me like this if you abandoned me… Haaah!”

“I knew it. You damn succubus. Open your mouth.”

” Gulp… Slurp. Blub blub….”

I poured my lust into Liliana’s throat first thing in the morning.

Saturday morning.

Nam Daeun came out of the dormitory early Saturday morning.

She had bought a toy her little sibling would like during the festival, but now she was short on cash and needed to grab sale items at the supermarket.

“Still, I’m glad I have a little money.”

Mr. Min-gyu from the Buyer Guild had sent her extra pocket money as a prize for coming in first.

It wasn’t much, but Nam Daeun was happy she could buy her sibling the toy.

“I have to go see them again tomorrow.”

What should I tell my sibling?

Nam Daeun’s days were always the same.

She’d wake up, attend classes at the academy, return to the dormitory, and rest.

She wasn’t allowed to work part-time for the Buyer Guild, so she had nothing to do.

Honestly, she didn’t even want to go because she wasn’t attending classes, but she had to participate until the midterm exams were over.

There’s a minimum attendance requirement, after all.

Since meeting Lee Hoyeon, training had become part of her routine, so she wasn’t bored, but she honestly didn’t have many interesting stories to tell her sibling.

So Nam Daeun always made up stories.

Stories about going to cafes with friends, playing rock-paper-scissors for forehead flicks, attending a friend’s birthday party, etc. She always agonized over creating tales her sibling would find amusing.

“Hmmmm… Shampoo. Shampoo….”

Nam Daeun wandered the supermarket, choosing the cheapest daily necessities.

‘My hair is long, so I use up shampoo too quickly. Maybe I should just cut it.’

She put the 1,980 won shampoo in her basket and calculated the remaining money in her wallet.

‘I have 8,600 won… Shampoo and soap cost 2,820 won… How much are the snacks?’

Nam Daeun took out her wallet again to check the money.

It was a worn-out wallet, used for so long it wouldn’t even close properly.

“The coins… Oh no… This isn’t going to work.”

Jjang-clang, jjang-clang, jjang-clang-

Coins, like blood, started falling through a hole she didn’t know existed.

‘Spatial Acceleration.’

Nam Daeun even used her power to pick up each coin.

But strangely, she was still short.

“Huh? Huh? I’m sure I picked them all up… Huh….”

She only had 8,500 won.

She’d counted several times, so she was sure, yet 100 won had vanished.

If she was 100 won short, she’d have to cut out one snack.

Because daily necessities like shampoo and soap were already bought at the lowest possible price, she couldn’t cut back on them.

“Here. The coins rolled quite far.”

Just then, a voice from behind seemed to rescue Nam Daeun.

Nam Daeun quickly turned her head.

There stood Lee Hoyeon, offering a sheepish smile as he held out his hand.

On his palm lay two 500-won coins and one 100-won coin. Nam Daeun swallowed hard.
