Episode 279. Lee Hoyeon’s Harem Plan! (2)

“A plan? Planning traps? Who’s bothering the baby daddy?”

Rebecca sat in her chair and crossed her legs.

I swallowed hard, watching her firm thighs rub together.

Im Sol, Baek Ahyoung, and Rebecca must all be the same age, but the three of them have different vibes. Baek Ahyoung has a cute vibe, like she doesn’t act her age, while Im Sol feels like a reliable younger older sister. Lastly, Rebecca is like a mature older sister type. Whatever she does, she looks mature.

Naturally, it must be because of that mature and sexy aura flowing from her.

“Hmm, this is on a very large scale… Will it be okay?”

“How large is it?”

“First, a fake dungeon is needed.”

“… I must have misheard, right? A fake dungeon?”

“You heard correctly.”

Humanity has not yet completely conquered dungeons. Most have standardized patterns, but still, some unique dungeons occasionally pop up. You can break through all the traps and enter, but there are dungeons with no treasure at all, while on the other hand, rare artifacts sometimes appear in shabby dungeons with nothing. Sometimes, there were traps where half of the people who entered had to sacrifice themselves to survive. Of course, an elite team would have already disabled such a trap before even entering it.

Anyway, I am currently planning to create a fake dungeon. It needs to be so elaborate that even scholars couldn’t tell the difference when viewed from the outside.

Hearing my words, Rebecca frowned and fell into thought.

“Hmm. If it’s magic related to barriers… I can almost certainly handle it. Can you explain in detail?”

“… Yes. It’s still just a plan.”

I explained the plan to Rebecca, and hearing me, Rebecca covered her mouth with her hand, hunched her shoulders, and put some distance between us. I expected it to some extent, but that reaction stings a bit.

“Wow… baby daddy. That’s a bit… creepy.”

“… This is necessary for me to survive, so I can’t help it. Is it possible?”

“Possible… Sigh, after saying you were so confident, I’m sorry, but I think we’ll have to try it to know for sure.”

“That alone is enough. The scale is quite large, after all. I will help anytime.”

Just hearing those words made me grateful. It means they’ll at least try.

“Yeah. If it’s the baby daddy’s skill, it’ll be helpful. First, magic stones themselves are needed in large quantities, do you have the funds?”

“I have about 10 billion won in spare funds.”

“With that amount… I also have money I’ve saved up, so it seems like it’ll be enough.”

Rebecca nodded and started writing something down. Probably some kind of plan. As if it were natural, she included the money she saved too; seeing that, I could only feel grateful.

“I also have some magic stones I bought and saved up.”

“Mm-hmm…. This is quite a headache. I’ll have to sort it out later. I heard you were hospitalized, so I came to check if your reproductive abilities were okay, but thanks to the baby daddy, I’m leaving with a big burden.”

“… I’m sorry. But you’re the only one I can ask for this favor, Rebecca-ssi.”

“That’s true. If I had told the other women this kind of thing, how much would I have been cursed out.”

“….”

That’s true.

With Rebecca… it’s a bit awkward to put it this way, but there’s a business-like feel. We haven’t had time to build affection with each other yet. That’s why I’m telling Rebecca this.

In terms of magical proficiency, Im Sol is better than Rebecca. Of course, if the restriction is barriers, Rebecca might be superior, but in all other aspects, Im Sol would be ahead. However, because we have a history built up with Im Sol, making a request like this is impossible. The moment she hears my plan, the rapport and affection we’ve shared until now might all melt away like snow.

“Hmm. It’s fine. Besides reviving the Rune clan, I didn’t have any other goals. Having something to kill time with is great.”

“Still… Thank you. I will somehow make it up to you.”

“Don’t just say it with words; if you could reward me quickly, that would be nice?”

“Um… I’m a patient, you see. Once I finish the work I’m handling, right away… I’ll try…”

Actually, when that will be is unknown. After being discharged and spending the weekend, I’ll attend school for one day on Monday, and starting Tuesday, I’m heading to France. I have to conduct an investigation into the Centaurs at the Iris Guild under the guise of [Field Experience Practice]. After spending a week like that, it’s immediately the final exams. I don’t know the exact schedule, but it’ll probably be about a week. After that is the vacation, so… it means it will take at least two weeks.

“Hmm. Well, okay. You’re involved with other women, but avoiding a relationship with me… I’ll turn a blind eye.”

Cough cough.

I felt sorry and lowered my head. Seeing that, Rebecca got up from the patient chair and moved her face closer to mine.

“But you know. The baby daddy has so many women. Much more than I thought, there are!”

“… It’s all because there are circumstances. Really.”

I avoided Rebecca’s eyes. The triangle of conscience started pricking my conscience again. Every time this happens, I want to say that I’ll die if I don’t increase the number of women, but I’m afraid of being treated like a lunatic, so I just can’t bring myself to say it. I’ve seriously considered it before, but how I would prove it is also questionable. If they knew my original world was a game, I worry about their mental state. The problems aren’t just one or two.

“I understand. I won’t pry into those circumstances. What I want to say is… If you keep sowing your seeds around like that, won’t you become infertile?”

“No way.”

I answered immediately. No matter what, I’m the protagonist of an erotic game, so there must be some compensation in that regard. Even normally, I think my stamina is strange, so I probably won’t have to worry about that at all.

Rebecca, as if it were a joke, straightened her body and stretched.

“Then I’m glad! Well then, I’ll be going too. Are you resting now?”

“Uh… I think I’ll probably go visit my friend who helped me in the hospital.”

“Is that person a woman too?”

“… Yes.”

Rebecca was smiling as if she didn’t care, but it was strange that I, the one speaking, was the one feeling guilty.

“That, was it Liliana? The women who were at the baby daddy’s house will also be coming here soon.”

“Really?”

Right, there’s no way they wouldn’t come. This is why I should have gone to see Alice sooner.

“Yeah. Anyway, take good care of yourself and rest. If it were up to me, I’d want to stay by your side 24/7 to protect your seed… but I still have things to handle at Pandemic.”

“Yes. Don’t worry. I’m surprisingly resilient when it comes to survival. Oh, and also, could you also investigate that magic-blocking barrier?”

“Of course, I have to. If something like that becomes properly commercialized, a world of true demons might come. Your baby daddy’s girlfriends are starting to arrive, so I’ll be going.”

Rebecca left those parting words, snapped her fingers, and vanished into thin air.

“Haaa….”

I feel somewhat drained. Still, I was grateful to Rebecca. When we first met, she was so obsessed with having a child that she tried to force herself on me, but now that she knows I’m not running away, perhaps because she knows I’m not running away, she seems a bit more relaxed. Actually, due to the burden of pregnancy, I’ve been postponing sex to the point of feeling sorry… I guess I should do it soon. To confess, I felt a little burdened about having my own child. Simply giving birth and abandoning them isn’t an option.

Knock knock-

“I’m here-.”

Just as Rebecca said, it seems someone came to visit me in the hospital. It was the familiar voice of a succubus. Every time I get hospitalized, this happening is getting tiring.

“Come in. Liliana.”

*

“There’s lots of food here. Daeun’s room didn’t have much, but…”

Nom nom.

Liliana, as soon as she entered the room, started eating the snacks from the refrigerator. Those were all bought by my darling. No, wait. I just heard something more important than that.

“Daeun is also hospitalized. How is Daeun’s condition? Is she very ill?”

Why didn’t I think of that? I only saw the condition of Lucy, Lumi, and Moon Surin and subconsciously thought everyone was okay. As for Alice, I knew she was injured because Surin noona had said something, but since Surin noona said Nam Daeun wasn’t injured much, I naturally assumed she was with them.

“I stopped by before coming… It’s not like that. Just slightly injured? Oh, I left Dahee there. She wanted to sleep together.”

Liliana continued talking while cracking nuts, which are supposedly good for health. Picking out only the sweet chocolate almonds and cranberries was very typical of Liliana.

“Good. I should go later too.”

“That’s a good decision, Hoyeon-nim. Daeun-yang will like it.”

Scarlet, as always, stood behind Liliana. Even when told to sit comfortably, seeing her always standing like that, it seems that’s how she’s comfortable. It must be a habit from when she was at the guild.

“Speaking of which, Scarlet. I had something I wanted to ask. Before going to the Iris Guild, is there anything I should know?”

I have to leave for France in just a few days. I have information from the original work, so I’m not too worried, but more information is always better. Originally, I was going to ask Alice, but now that I think of it, I should ask Scarlet too. Maybe useful information will emerge from a different perspective.

“Uh, the guild… Well. You’ve met the Guild Master, and you’ve seen the young lady… Ah. There’s Irene-agassi. You know Irene-agassi, right?”

“Alice’s older sister, right?”

“Yes. However, there isn’t much specific information. Her unique aura when you actually see her is hard to describe….”

“Hmm.”

Right. I understand what Scarlet means. In the original work, when progressing through Alice’s route, you encounter Irene too, and you grow closer to her in the process. Alice’s older sister, Irene, is a severe… narcissist. Simply put, she’s a ‘princess syndrome patient’ in love with herself. Most narcissists, actually, tend to fall short of the average. Because they fall short compared to others, they hide their true selves and love their fake selves; it’s a form of escapism, this princess syndrome.

But Irene is different.

Innate, perfect looks.

Talent that shone since childhood.

A family background that could support all of that.

Irene, who had everything, truly blossomed her talents and genuinely fell in love with herself.

‘She was a fascinating woman.’

Because of that, conflicts arise with Alice, which is absurd. Still, since I know the background, dealing with it should be easier than expected.

“Irene-nim will probably be included in the Centaur tracking team. If you want to interact with Alice-yang, you need to make a good impression on Irene-nim too, so be careful.”

“Thanks.”

No matter how well I try to impress her, it’s pointless. If it were the Irene I knew, she would never give her permission.

Nom- nom- nom-

“This is delicious. Oh, can I sleep here tonight? My home is too quiet.”

Having picked out all the sweet parts from the nuts, Liliana leaned her upper body onto my bed.

“Um… that’s fine, but I’m leaving now too.”

“Why? Lie down with me and play.”

As Liliana clung to me like a pet, while touching her cheek, I also wanted to lie down and sleep right there, but I had things to do.

“I want to, but I’m going to see Alice and Daeun. Because they were injured because of me.”

“Aha… Okay. Then I’ll play with Scout and hang out.”

Fortunately, Liliana started rummaging through the refrigerator again. I thought she might cling to me again, but the snacks Baek Ahyoung brought were high-quality, so they must suit her taste.

“Scarlet, what about you?”

Scarlet, who had been standing still, put her hand on her chest at my words and put on a pitiful heroine face.

“If you wish, I too will serve you alongside Liliana-nim… Are you trying to force my first time away from me like that?”

“Where did you hear such a strange thing from?”

“Liliana-nim told me.”

As expected, Scarlet becoming strange is Liliana’s fault. That crazy succubus must have been making Scarlet strange.

“Tsk. The house, I can move in as soon as I’m discharged, right?”

“Yes. I have filled it with new furniture.”

“Oh… Nice. That’s why you weren’t around during the festival.”

“Yes. I had a lot to do. I handled all the paperwork too.”

As expected, there’s no worker like Scarlet. I couldn’t even have a house like this in my original world, but I get one here.

‘This feels really strange.’

It’s probably because it’s a 20 billion won house.

I nodded and got out of bed. If I’m any later than this, it would be too rude to visit them.

“Stay and play with Liliana. I’m going to go see Alice and Daeun.”

“Don’t be too late. Liliana-nim will be waiting.”

“Okay. Okay. I’ll be back. Liliana.”

Seeing Liliana eating something, I left the room.

‘I should take care of Scarlet too.’

Of course, we have a contract, but she’s working harder than that. Should I give her a vacation? Or should I really call her along when I have sex with Liliana? I don’t know what she’d prefer.

Lost in thought, as I walked down the hallway, I came to a fork in the road. Going left from here leads to Alice. Going right leads to Nam Daeun’s room.

‘Where should I go first?’

Alice and Nam Daeun.

Alice seems quite badly injured, while Nam Daeun seems to be in a similar condition to me.

“I should probably go see Alice first.”

According to Surin noona, Alice worked incredibly hard for my sake. The time is 8 PM. It’s already quite late, but if I go any later, I might not be able to see them today. I need to go quickly and see them. Nam Daeun will be fine even if I go a little later anyway. She’s not the type to get angry over something like that.

I glanced at my watch and headed towards Alice’s room.
