Grumble.

The unrealistic sound of birds that cannot be heard in ordinary homes woke Hoyeon Lee from her sleep.

The sound is not coming from the yard of the house, but from the yard of Ellis, the house next door.

“… My head hurts.”

I closed the window letting in the morning sunlight and turned my head.

Apparently the three of us slept together, but when we woke up, only Rebecca was lying next to us.

Hoyeon Lee instinctively poked Rebecca’s cheek.

“Yes….”

“Sleep well.”

Hoyeon Lee, who brushed Rebecca’s hair, got up from the bed and stretched.

After making intense love yesterday, Rebecca seems to want to sleep a little more.

My body’s fatigue hasn’t gone away yet, but now that Scarlett is awake, I should at least go out and say hello.

When I went out into the living room, Scarlett was sitting at the table, as expected.

She was sitting with her legs crossed and drinking coffee.

“Good morning Scarlett.”

“Yes. You’ve just woken up. Would you like a cup of coffee?”

“please.”

Scarlett served coffee as if nothing had happened.

okay. I thought so.

As expected, it was a good thing I didn’t stop last night.

Hoyeon Lee looked at Scarlett with a happy expression.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“…It’s nothing. I guess I’m just tired.”

“It’s okay. I fell asleep early last night.”

sniffling.

Looking at Scarlett’s red lips reminds me of what happened last night.

To be honest, it was really cute to act like nothing happened, but if you say it out loud, it’s definitely true.

“Hoyeon. Good morning. Did you sleep well?”

“Yes. Good morning to you too, Da-eun.”

Nam Da-eun came out of the kitchen and approached Lee Ho-yeon with a smile.

It looked like a puppy asking for a pat on the head, so I stroked Nam Da-eun’s head without realizing it.

“Hehe. I’ll prepare breakfast soon.”

“I’m always thankful.”

“No. I’m doing it for Hoyeon.”

Nam Da-eun left, and Scarlett followed her into the kitchen.

It looks like he will help with meal preparation.

‘Is it because of the early morning emotions?’

Lee Ho-yeon, who was left alone, drank coffee and thought absently about yesterday’s events.

I think a lot of embarrassing things were said last night, and if I had to do it again now, it would be difficult.

Still, it feels good to have a deep conversation.

Hoyeon Lee looked at her smart watch and thought about what to do.

I didn’t have any specific plans with the heroines, but I had work to do.

This is an inspection of the fake dungeon magic circle in Victoria Park.

‘… I really have to go today.’

Even if the magic circle is already in the completion stage, leaving the magic circle for two days in a row is the same as disqualification as a magician.

This is so ridiculous that Imsol will be angry if she finds out.

However, Hoyeon Lee was still thinking about the conversation she had with Rebecca and Scarlett yesterday.

‘Are you really going to throw it away?’

The memories of last night were still clear.

Rebecca and Scarlett’s words struck Lee Ho-yeon like a dagger, and became an opportunity to rethink everything.

‘Since when did I become the bad guy Lee Ho-yeon?’

What was best for oneself was not the best for other women.

I tried my best, but the direction was wrong.

Now that the mistake has been recognized, it must change.

So, where did it all go wrong?

And why is it so twisted?

‘Should I have revealed everything from the beginning?’

Actually, I don’t think revealing everything from the beginning is the right choice.

It might have been okay to reveal it at the right time, but if it had been revealed from the beginning, I wouldn’t have been able to build relationships with all the heroines.

‘It sure seemed okay, but how did it get so damaged?’

The heroines’ strategy went smoothly, and Lee Ho-yeon began to recognize this world as reality, not a game.

The problem is that at some point, those tasks became ‘simple tasks’.

It’s funny even when you think about it, how many times you realize that this world is reality and then it changes like that.

So we need to find the cause.

“It’s not why it was done… it’s why it had to be done that way.”

There is a theory that he is inherently trash and stupid from the beginning, but if you think that way, there is no end to it.

―――――「Clear mental power」―――――

▶ Perks

▶No matter what the situation, keep your mind firmly centered.

―――――――――――――ㅡㅡㅡ―

And this is precisely the cause that Hoyeon Lee came up with.

[Clear mental power].

This is a privilege that Lee Ho-yeon gained while possessing this world.

Thanks to the trait that allows her to maintain her sanity, Lee Ho-yeon does not experience major mood swings and has immunity to mental magic.

However, there was something suspicious about this unexpected benefit.

It means keeping your mind firmly in the ‘center’.

This privilege keeps Lee Ho-yeon’s spirit from breaking down.

In other words, Lee Ho-yeon’s spirit always remains the same.

So what is the center?

If you think that the center is your mind when you first became possessed in this world, it can also explain why your attitude was strange.

Even if you try to recognize that it is not a game, your mind will become lighter.

… Just like when I first got possessed.

‘Couldn’t we consciously eliminate the perks?’

Just as you can’t tell a human to move their tail because they don’t know the feeling, you can’t try it because you don’t know how to remove the privilege.

That time when I was trying to raise my magic power to try something.

“I’m tired… Ugh….”

dump.

Liliana came looming, making zombie-like noises, and plopped down on the seat next to Lee Ho-yeon.

“… Did you wake up now?”

Hoyeon Lee, who had been thinking seriously for a while, turned his head and looked at Liliana.

“Yeah…what were you doing?”

“I was just drinking coffee. Doing some meditation.”

“Ah, we all went to the training ground and played together yesterday. Play with me today.”

“I didn’t go to the training ground to play, I went to train. I sparred with Rebecca yesterday.”

“Why the sudden sparring?”

“Rebecca said she wanted to get used to the magic of hell, so I helped her.”

“Now that I think about it, you asked me to help you too. Should I just stick around next to you from now on?”

“That’s not bad either.”

It appears to be the magical power of hell, but it is nothing special.

It’s just a new type of magical power.

But it was important that it was new.

Magic power is like air.

It exists everywhere in this world, and just as air is needed to breathe, magic power is needed for combat.

Magic power goes into every action.

If you are unable to read the opponent’s magic pattern, you will naturally be slow to respond, and if the trajectory is completely different, like the magic power of hell, the problem is even worse.

Of course, the opposite is also true.

Liliana, Chiron, and Albedo were all the same.

All people from hell were weak at first.

But Lucifer was different.

“… Is Lucifer originally as strong as a monster?”

The Lucifer seen through Rebecca’s memories was really strong.

In terms of time, there probably wasn’t much time to adapt to the human world.

Of course, there may be differences in adaptation for each individual, but it was strange that it happened only to Lucifer.

“Liliana. Are you familiar with Earth’s magic now?”

“Of course. I’ve been here a long time.”

Actually, there was something I was curious about.

Just as humans are paralyzed by the magic of hell, shouldn’t demons from hell also have a hard time unleashing their power when they come to the human world?

Of course, with the emergence of the black pillar, those standards became ambiguous… There were still doubts.

“I’m curious, isn’t it difficult for humans to deal with the magic power of hell? But demonic beasts from hell seem to adapt strangely quickly. If it’s their first time experiencing it, shouldn’t they have a hard time too?”

“I guess this isn’t the first time. You idiot.”

“huh?”

“There is a lot of information about humans in hell. There are dramas about the human world, and there are actual human slaves. That’s what I experienced there.”

“ah….”

I remembered.

When Liliana was first summoned to this world, she left behind the impression that the human world was worse than the drama she had seen in hell.

This cannot be said if there is no information about the human world in hell.

Moreover, Lucifer’s information written in the motherfucker contract is ‘Lucifer, the butcher shop owner who is crazy about human meat.’

There is a high possibility that he actually saw a human.

“But how do humans get to hell?”

“Well…? They say they fall by chance because time and space are distorted… I don’t know. Maybe they just pick up good-looking and pretty people and breed them?”

“… That’s a scary story.”

Among the humans who fall by chance, only those with outstanding looks are turned into slaves and the rest are sent to farms?

It’s such a scary story. After all, it is better not to hear about the circumstances of hell.

Lucifer is number one among the Devil King’s successors.

Since they must have had many opportunities to encounter humans, it is natural that they would adapt quickly.

Chiron and Albedo must have lived in hell for a long time and experienced a lot of humans, so they are not immune to the magic of the human world.

‘… Now that I think about it, I guess I’ll have to adapt it to other kids too.’

Rebecca is an honor student who works hard on her own, but the other heroines are still unaware of the danger of Lucifer.

“I’m hungry. Oh, are you playing with me today?”

“Okay. I’ll play with you today.”

“Hey! So, do you want to be a guest on my show? I’m in a bad mood these days.”

“… That’s a bit much.”

Anyway, it’s a bit weird for a genius wizard to appear on a female cam.

After chatting with Liliana for a while, a sobbing Rebecca came out of the room and collapsed on the table.

“Rebecca. You must have been amazing yesterday. You smell like a woman.”

“… Yes. The baby’s father was in good condition.”

“Enjoy breakfast~.”

Just before Rebecca started a conversation that was bad for prenatal education, Nam Da-eun brought a meal.

Breakfast is French toast, sausage, and omelet.

Looking at the freshly baked, steaming bread and the plump sausage, I don’t think I’ll have to worry about breakfast later.

“Dahee. We need to eat quickly and get ready.”

“Ungh. I understand, sister.”

While I was continuing my meal as usual, the sound of beep beep beep filled the living room.

It was Scarlett’s smartwatch.

“Manner mode is good manners while eating, Scout.”

“…Wait a minute. I’m sorry.”

Scarlett lowered her voice and checked the contents of the smart watch with a serious expression.

At first glance, this was not an ordinary incident.

As the atmosphere became heavier, we naturally laid down our spoons and waited for Scarlett to speak.

“Hoyeon. I received an urgent call from Irene. They say they have found Lucifer’s location.”

“… really?”

“Yes. I heard that I contacted you first because I felt like I needed to let this person know… What should I do?”

Hoyeon Lee jumped up from her seat and her face hardened.

Lucifer.

As the Demon King of the original, I am well aware of his danger, but I cannot avoid him forever.

Moreover, the fact that their location has been identified means that they are plotting something suspicious.

I can never leave it alone.

“I’ll go to Irene first…”

Hoyeon Lee tried to understand the situation and think about how to move.

However, as soon as I saw the other women’s expressions, I changed my mind.

“…No, let’s all go together.”

Everything starts from the little things.

You must first change your perception of what you are trying to solve.

Scarlett smiled after hearing Lee Ho-yeon’s words.

“Okay. Let’s go straight to Irene’s house.”

“Sister, where are we going?”

“No, don’t worry. I’ll just take Dahee with me. How should I tell the academy….”

“Today was a day to play with me….”

“I can’t help it. Liliana. Eat all the bread quickly first.”
