Knock knock.

In the quiet living room, I knocked on Liliana’s room.

Since Scarlett is not visible, it appears she is in her room.

After Scarlett left, I lay down on the bed and thought about Scarlett’s words and decided to go see Liliana.

If you think about it, since when did you start thinking and moving?

First of all, I moved and took action to get this far, but now it’s funny to stay still, saying I have more to protect.

I remember the first time I was possessed by this world.

I definitely approached it like I was playing a game.

I went to a drug dealer to target heroines, and even though I almost died, I wondered what I could do with the woman in front of me.

I went to the academy like I was playing a game.

When the status window appears and the heroines you see in the game are actually in front of your eyes, you can’t help but feel that way.

But at some point, I started to fall in love with this world.

Feelings and new connections that I have never felt before in the whole world.

Now I can’t imagine life without the people around me.

People who live in the same house and people who meet at the academy.

It was awkward at first, but I got used to the cityscape and the magic I didn’t know about.

I have already become precious to this world.

“… I’m coming in. Liliana.”

I opened the door without an answer and went inside.

“Ah, ah… hmm.”

As soon as I entered the room, what I saw was Liliana’s back.

Liliana was lying face down on the bed, covering her head with a pillow, like an ostrich with its head in the sand and thinking it was completely hidden.

The trembling of his entire body seemed to still be an aftereffect of the memory orb that Chiron had seen.

That’s why I didn’t even hear the knock.

“…Liliana.”

dump-

Just like Scarlett did.

I wanted to put all other worries aside and talk to Liliana.

“Ah, ah…?”

Liliana, who was trembling like an aspen tree, carefully lifted the pillow and looked at me, probably because she sensed that I was being loved.

“hi?”

“iced coffee….”

Liliana’s eyes were swollen from crying so much.

As soon as she recognized my presence, Liliana threw away her pillow and came over, holding my hand and muttering.

“I-I really… don’t know. I don’t know anything… I’m not really….”

“….”

“Trust me. Please….”

Uneasy, lost eyes and a pounding heart.

Hands shaking like a tremor patient.

Liliana probably sensed my feelings earlier.

That’s why I’m so worried and anxious.

Because I felt like I was doubting myself.

“Liliana….”

I bit my lip as I looked at Liliana.

How about thinking about it from Liliana’s perspective?

After being suddenly summoned to the human world with the [Hell’s Bastard Summoning Contract].

In some ways, I am in the same position as myself when I first became possessed in this world.

I sometimes think about what would have happened if I had been possessed in this world without any information or privileges.

If I were in exactly the same situation as Liliana, what would happen to me?

I wouldn’t have been able to become close to Surin because I didn’t know about her existence, and I wouldn’t have been able to become friends with Lucy and Rumi because I didn’t have any information about them.

I wouldn’t have been able to approach Baek Ah-young because I didn’t know her tastes, and if I didn’t have talent, I wouldn’t have been able to become close to Professor Lim Sol.

Since he didn’t know about the black market, he couldn’t summon Liliana, and since he didn’t have the power to help Nam Da-eun, he couldn’t save her.

Since I couldn’t use the rune barrier, Rebecca wouldn’t have come to see me.

He wouldn’t have been able to talk to Ellis, and naturally Scarlett wouldn’t know him either.

If these people weren’t around me, would I have survived in this world?

But Liliana, who had nothing, trusted me and only showed her bright side.

It was a short time, but I also thought of Liliana as precious.

However, suspicion of Liliana because of the memories of a centaur whose face I only knew for a day… That’s ridiculous.

Did I go crazy for a moment because I saw something so shocking?

In the first place, he has the ridiculous task of saving the world while targeting heroines, but he can take at least one of the demon king’s daughters.

Because that’s Lee Ho-yeon, the main character of this world.

“I don’t know. I don’t know. I really don’t know… I’m sorry. I-I’m sorry….”

“Liliana.”

I steeled myself and called Liliana’s name.

But Liliana must have sensed some emotion in my voice, so she spoke even more frightened.

“… It was me. It was definitely me. Yes, I know it was me. But, I don’t know. I don’t know anything….”

“It’s okay. Just calm down for now.”

Liliana, with tears streaming down her face, bit her lip until it bled, as if she felt aggrieved.

“Yeah, but I really… I don’t like that. I don’t like killing either. I just…”

“… Come on”

“OMG…?”

Liliana was unable to recover from the shock of seeing her own past.

I couldn’t even imagine how big of a shock it was for the bright Liliana to end up like this.

The feeling of being denied all memories of one’s own mother.

Since I can’t sympathize, I have no choice but to accept it.

I pulled Liliana’s body and dragged her into my arms.

“Liliana. It doesn’t matter whether you are the daughter of the Demon Lord or a killer queen. You just have to promise one thing.”

“….”

“No matter what happens in the future, tell me you’re on my side. That’s enough.”

No need to say anything else.

Because Liliana’s heart is what matters most.

The power of friendship and love… .

Actually, I don’t like it that much.

When I was a child and watched cartoons, whenever I defeated a strong boss with the power of friendship, I used to criticize it for being cliché.

But what can I do? When it comes to relying, you have to rely on it.

Is it true that you only understand the minds of protagonists once you become one?

After hearing what I said, Liliana blinked and sniffled.

“Don’t cry. Why are you crying, you’re not a child.”

“Huh, huh… I thought you were abandoning me. I thought you hated me….”

“Use it. That’s not what you’re saying. If you do that, the broadcast will fail.”

“Puh, ah, what are you talking about…! I was serious….”

“Answer me, Liliana. I will trust you first. So you… don’t ever betray me. Understood?”

I gently pulled Liliana away from my body and made eye contact.

Although her eyes were slightly bloodshot, her pretty face was still smiling slightly as she looked at me.

“… Yes, of course. You are my master.”

“That’s it.”

“Ah, ah. Wait… don’t do it now…!”

I tickled Liliana’s sides with my fingers.

Liliana, who couldn’t hold back her laughter while telling him not to do it, seemed to have finally regained some of her tension.

“The first thing I said to my father and mother was, ‘I already took your daughter.’ Shall we do it?”

“No thanks?!”

“If you cry and laugh, you’ll be in big trouble.”

“S-Stop teasing me…!”

I accepted Liliana’s complaints and hugged her.

A warm, soft body came into my arms.

Liliana held my waist tightly with both hands and nuzzled her face into my chest as if trying not to get away from me.

“… I was scared. That memory and your actions.”

“I’m sorry. Did it show too much? I tried to hide it as much as possible.”

“Stupid. You should have hugged me like you normally do.”

Kuuk-

Tsk. Was it obvious like that?

Even though they try to hide it, it seems like the heroines end up finding out.

I thought you had a talent for acting, but it’s a shame.

Liliana said, looking up at me with her face buried in my chest.

“But why did you change your mind right away? It’s obvious, ‘I have too much to think about. Don’t come near me.’ That was the look on his face.”

“…Well, I had a little chat with Scarlett.”

I decided not to talk about other women in front of women, but I always end up doing it.

Sweet guy, let’s give up.

There are more than 10 women, so what is sweet?

“… With Scout?”

“Yes. Scarlett said a lot of good things. So, with you….”

“Then where is Scout?”

At that time, Liliana came in, interrupting me.

a little… The eyes were like, ‘What is this guy?’

“Uh, maybe he’s in his room? Maybe he’s in his dorm?”

I didn’t see his face after he left my room, so he must have gone into the remaining room.

Maybe he went back to his lodgings.

Because he seemed angry.

“Idiot. Really stupid….”

“…… me?”

why me?

*

“Ugh, ugh….”

After leaving Lee Ho-yeon’s room, Scarlett went straight into her own room and threw herself on the bed.

It was only after I stamped my feet on the bed a few times that my heart seemed to calm down.

Scarlett, who had barely adjusted to her trembling hands and feet, lay down on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and sighed.

“Ha. …stupid.”

It’s boring.

The sight of himself spewing out words to Lee Ho-yeon was clearly disgusting.

At first, it was true that I was angry at Lee Ho-yeon’s attitude toward Liliana.

However, when he spoke to Lee Ho-yeon, he also included his own feelings.

While pretending to take care of Liliana, he unconsciously asked her to take care of him as well.

To be precise, it would be more correct to say that he went to take care of Liliana and then got angry and poured out his emotions.

“Ha, you scoundrel. And you? You… What did I say you were? Ha…”

I regret it.

Why did he say that?

The good news is that Lee Ho-yeon visited Liliana… .

“….”

Would that really be a blessing for you?

Considering Lee Ho-yeon’s expression after hearing what he said, things will probably work out well.

He had a pitiful expression after being punched, so he will come to his senses soon.

And as always, we had some hot sex and made up.

Hoyeon Lee and Liliana.

A happy ending where both are happy.

… But his ranking is being pushed down again.

“Ugh.”

I don’t regret visiting Lee Ho-yeon.

When I saw Liliana’s expression, I thought this was a necessary action.

The problem is not Liliana, but Hoyeon Lee.

“It’s a shame I gave you time. It was my fault for expecting more. I shouldn’t have even saved you.”

Scarlett counted the patterns on the ceiling and quenched her appetite.

“… Isn’t that right?”

I should have saved it. hmm. that’s right.

Scarlett nodded and recalled what she said earlier.

He sarcastically said that he had so many precious things, and said that he relieved his loneliness by going out with other women.

Passion and confidence that no matter what happens, you can solve it. And it means that you really have the ability to solve it.

In fact, it was something he wanted to say.

Because I didn’t want to see Lee Ho-yeon lose her confidence.

“… I won’t be able to see you tonight. I have to go back to my dorm.”

Since the two of us were going to have some alone time, there was no time for me to interfere.

Let’s go back to Iris Guild’s lodgings after a long time.

Swoosh- Swoosh-

After regaining her freedom, Scarlett put back on the suit she had taken off.

I pretended to be okay in front of the two, but in reality, my body wasn’t fully recovered.

They say there’s nothing wrong with my body, so I’ll probably just have to endure the aftereffects for a few days.

smart-

“… uh?”

Scarlett, who was about to open the window and go out as usual, stopped when she suddenly heard a knocking sound.

“Scarlett. It’s me. Are you in there?”

“Huh…? Huh?!”

A familiar voice.

It was Lee Ho-yeon’s voice.

‘Why is he here?’

I thought you must be having a hot night by now.

“Are you not inside? Scarlet? Is the door open?”

“Now, just a moment. No, just a moment. I’m inside.”

Scarlett looked around.

Tak─ Tak─

I made up the bed that was a mess from stamping my feet and checked my clothes.

I was wearing street clothes, but there was no need to take them off.

Because it’s a neat and pretty outfit.

Huh. greatness.

After groping her neck one last time, Scarlett pulled on the doorknob.

“Scarlett. There you are.”

“What’s going on? Are you finished talking with Liliana?”

“Yes. Oh, can I come in?”

“Uh, uh… yes.”

Scarlett, who was trying to maintain a slightly angry image, was slightly embarrassed by Lee Ho-yeon who was pushing her in, and moved away.
