“… What did you say just now?”

Hoyeon Lee approached Liliana with his eyes wide open.

Liliana was a little surprised by Hoyeon Lee’s sudden change in attitude, but after blinking, she remembered what she had just said.

“Huh? So… you mean I won’t accept Victoria Park, curses… and the weird jokes you sometimes make?”

“No, that wasn’t it! What did you just say!?”

“Ugh! Why, why Gran! My head hurts!”

Lee Ho-yeon, whose head was dizzy, grabbed Liliana’s shoulders and shook her back and forth.

Lee Ho-yeon did not take most of what Liliana said seriously, but he could not ignore what he had just heard.

Especially the fake dungeons.

The fact that women had such a conversation was too serious to just ignore.

“You just said Victoria Park, the curse, and the fake dungeon? Huh?”

“I think I just heard those words… What’s wrong? Are you angry?”

“….”

Hoyeon Lee calmed down his emotions as he looked at Liliana, who was cowering.

Let’s calm down.

It’s not a problem that can be solved by getting angry.

We need to slowly reflect on the situation.

‘You must remain calm.’

In fact, if you ask whether what Liliana said is a huge secret, it is not.

Since I couldn’t do anything by hiding the truth from everyone, I moved forward by telling the truth little by little.

Irene helped with the investigation into Lucifer and the Black Pillar, and Rebecca designed the fake dungeon magic circle together.

So it’s natural that they know, but the problem is that those words came out of Liliana’s mouth.

‘Victoria Park’ known only to Irene

The ‘curse’ that only Ellis knows about

The ‘fake dungeon’ that only Rebecca knows about

He never told Liliana this information, so he must have heard it at Ellis’ house.

I was curious about what they would talk about when they met, and now I know.

‘… I wondered why we became friends and it turned out it was because of me.’

The good news is that no fake dungeon magic circles have been discovered yet.

When Lee Ho-yeon last checked, there was no trace of the magic circle being touched.

‘Or am I overreacting?’

Maybe it’s not a big deal.

It could be that Liliana simply remembered words that passed by during conversation.

‘… no. You have to have doubts. That’s even weirder.’

But the possibility of that happening is very low.

Even if it is a word that cannot be found anywhere in Victoria Park, the fake dungeon is information that only Rebecca knows.

When working with Rebecca on the magic circle, she personally kept the secret, but now it is different.

There is no secrecy spell or anything like that, so there is no way to stop Rebecca if she opens her mouth.

‘Maybe I should have used a secret-keeping spell…’ ? No, that’s not it.’

Regardless of whether Rebecca would approve or not, it would be wrong to suggest such a thing to someone who helps you.

“… I’m sorry if I did something wrong.”

“No, I’m sorry. I got strangely excited.”

Hoyeon Lee turned her head to the voice coming from next to her.

Liliana was still looking at Lee Ho-yeon in a timid state.

It seemed like he was surprised by Lee Ho-yeon’s sudden advance.

Phew.

Hoyeon Lee took a deep breath.

I got over the pounding headache and let go of my hand holding Liliana’s shoulder.

It seems he was so lost in his thoughts that he was still holding his shoulder tightly.

There is nothing wrong with Liliana. No, it’s no one’s fault.

If we have to be honest, it’s Lee Ho-yeon’s fault.

“Liliana, are you sure about the conversation you mentioned earlier?”

“Uh, uhm… I guess so. But why are you doing that? Maybe you shouldn’t have told me? It’s not my fault, right?”

“… It’s not like that. I’m sorry for suddenly acting strange. Don’t worry.”

Seeing Liliana looking anxious makes me feel sorry.

I know the truth thanks to her, so I should be thankful.

Hoyeon Lee opened Liliana’s status window.

★ Heroine status window

[Liliana]

– [Likeability: 99] (+ 4.1)

– [Liberty: 90]

– [Appetite: 50]

– [Fatigue: 40]

Current status: I don’t think it was my fault… Was it wrong to kidnap Irene? But we’re on good terms now, so it’s okay, right?

… What does kidnapping mean?

Is this the usual Liliana nonsense?

Common sense tells us that there is no way Irene would get along so well if she had been kidnapped.

Moreover, Lee Ho-yeon’s women are not such crazy people.

Maybe he really misunderstood that women were just messing around with each other.

‘It seems clear that Liliana doesn’t know anything… .’

It seems true that he was kicked out because he was boring, so it is safe to say that there was little information to be gained from Liliana.

‘Should I at least take a peek when Da-eun comes?’

If Liliana doesn’t have any information, they should target another woman.

I think Scarlett and Rebecca will notice right away, so you have to seduce the innocent Da-eun.

“Uhm… I didn’t do anything wrong.”

“Come here. I told you it was a mistake.”

“lol.”

As I wrapped my arms around Liliana’s neck, who was still shrugging her shoulders, Liliana also smiled.

In times like this, simplicity is really good.

‘I’ll think about it later… First of all, let’s not show off in front of women.’

Unlike Liliana, who had no thoughts, Scarlett and Rebecca thought they were strange.

Because it was those two who first attacked him with facts.

As you spend time at Irene’s house, Lee Ho-yeon’s name will naturally come up, and you may have become suspicious.

Liliana immediately smiled and clung to Lee Ho-yeon.

“By the way, didn’t you get a reply to your letter?”

“A letter? Ah… yes. There was no reply.”

“It’s a shame… Is mom busy?”

The reply to the letter sent through the contract from hell arrives to Lee Ho-yeon.

If you see no reply even after some time has passed, it may mean that you have no intention of sending a reply.

‘Because she’s a succubus queen… .’

After learning the identity of Liliana’s mother, she began to suspect everything.

I don’t know how to deal with the demon king’s mistress if I actually meet her, and I don’t know what she wanted when she sealed Liliana away.

Liliana quickly smiled as if it was okay if there was no reply.

“If we can go to hell together later, it would be nice to meet each other.”

“A meeting ceremony? Is there something like that in hell?”

“That’s not true, I saw it here and wanted to try it at least once. A young human man… no, I’d like to take you with me.”

“… Isn’t it important that he is a young human male?”

“That can’t be possible!”

Hoyeon Lee stroked the head of Liliana in his arms and settled down on the sofa.

Actually, I wanted to take a nap because my body was tired and my head hurt, but I had a lot to think about.

‘… What should I do if I think women have noticed?

You may have to scrap your fake dungeon plans immediately.

Then we have to find a way to attack the heroines again… .

Tiriring-

“Huh? I guess the scout is here.”

At that time, I heard the front door open and familiar footsteps approached.

The voices chattering to each other was a bonus.

“I’m back~ I’m sorry, Liliana. I brought chicken instead… huh? Is the baby’s father here too?”

“I see. You came early today.”

“I’m sorry, Hoyeon. Have you eaten? Shall we eat chicken together?”

The women who saw Lee Ho-yeon smiled warmly and approached her.

But Lee Ho-yeon had to keep an eye on them.

The moment I learned the truth, it was difficult to deal with it as usual.

“… No. But where did everyone go?”

“I came to meet Irene for a while.”

“Aha. Why Irene?”

“I just came here to hang out because it’s next door.”

Rebecca answered with a nonchalant expression.

He even had a subtle smile on his face, but if it weren’t for Lee Ho-yeon, I might have been fooled.

★ Heroine status window

[Rebecca]

– [Likeability: 100] (+ 1.1)

– [Sexual drive: 60]

– [Appetite: 40]

– [Fatigue: 30]

Current status: I wanted to keep going to Irene’s house a secret… The baby’s father won’t mind, right?

[When the favorability rating reaches 100, serve Ho-yeon Lee as her husband and help her]

Ho-yeon Lee, who read Rebecca’s thoughts, swallowed his saliva.

I was very concerned about secret conversations between women that only I knew about.

“Uh, huh. I see. That’s right, Da-eun. I’m tired, so I’ll sleep a little today and eat alone later.”

Ho-yeon Lee slowly took a step back and ran into the room.

*

“…Hmm.”

In the end, Ho-yeon Lee, who couldn’t eat dinner, lay down in bed and covered herself with a blanket.

I didn’t have the confidence to meet women face to face and eat with them.

Even if you manage your facial expressions, a quick-witted Scarlett might get caught.

“Did you really notice? Really?”

Did they have that much information?

There were many facts that Lee Ho-yeon had hidden, making it difficult to gather fragmentary information and arrive at the truth.

‘Are we still gathering information?’

No matter how much they think, they cannot reach the truth.

They were trying to uncover their own secrets by combining what they knew, and it seemed like Liliana had picked up the conversation.

However, there is one thing that happens.

It is unlikely that they are close to the truth, but it exists.

So, I guess I’ll have to try what I can.

smart.

– Hoyeon. Can I come in?

“Yes. Come in.”

Sigh.

The door opened, and Nam Da-eun, wearing comfortable clothes, came into Lee Ho-yeon’s room.

It was a thin sweatshirt, and although it was loose, it was a nice-looking outfit that accentuated her breasts.

As soon as Nam Da-eun entered the room, she approached Ho-yeon Lee and started crying.

“Hoyeon. Are you okay? Your complexion doesn’t look good….”

“No, Da-eun. Would you like to talk for a moment?”

“good.”

Sigh-

Nam Da-eun sat on the bed and held Lee Ho-yeon’s hand.

It was an agreement between the women to monopolize one night with Lee Ho-yeon.

Tonight it’s Nam Da-eun’s turn.

Lee Ho-yeon thought as she saw Nam Da-eun looking at her with a worried expression.

He said he would rip off all the information she knew.

“Are you here to meet Irene today?”

“Ugh. I came after drinking tea. Dahee went to hang out with a friend she made at the academy.”

“Really? I’m glad you made good friends… But what do you usually say to Irene?”

“Hmm… Just chatting? Usually Rebecca and Scarlett talk a lot, and I watch.”

Nam Da-eun smiled as if she enjoyed talking with Lee Ho-yeon.

I had a bad conscience about stealing information from Nam Da-eun, who had such an innocent face, but I couldn’t help it.

“Hmm. Really? You didn’t tell me anything about me?”

“…I won’t say anything about Hoyeon.”

“really?”

“… huh.”

Ho-yeon Lee fixed her eyes on the side face of Da-eun Nam, who was avoiding her eyes, and Da-eun turned her head and glanced at Ho-yeon Lee.

Every time that happened, I felt anxious for some reason when I saw Lee Ho-yeon looking at me.

★ Heroine status window

[Nam Da-eun]

– [Likeability: 100] (+ 2.1)

– [Liberty: 85]

– [Appetite: 30]

– [Fatigue: 35]

Current Status: Scarlett told me never to tell… . Ugh, ugh. What do we do.

[When the favorability rating reaches 100, your love for Lee Ho-yeon becomes very strong.]

Lee Ho-yeon, who saw the status window, smiled and held Nam Da-eun’s hand tightly.

I could feel her tension in her warm hands.

“Da-eun. Are you hiding something from me?”

“Oh, huh?…There’s nothing like that.”

“Look into my eyes.”

Ho-yeon Lee held Nam Da-eun’s hand and pulled her towards him.
