Episode 144. Cleanup

The patients resulting from the terrorist attack were handled by the Academy’s medical facilities.

Baek Ahyoung, who belonged to the Academy, also came out of the infirmary to help with treatment.

“Yes… Does it hurt?”

“Hic… It hurts. It hurts….”

“Understood. I’ll treat it.”

“Heeuuk…. It hurts so much.”

“Seong- no. Nurse. You need to let go of the patient’s arm….”

The medical team, startled by Baek Ahyoung directly holding the patient’s wound while treating it, spoke to her.

“Ah, Ahh! I’m sorry. Are you okay?”

“I-I’m okay. Hic.”

Baek Ahyoung herself was startled, lowered her head, and apologized to the patient.

The patient was in excruciating pain, but couldn’t bring himself to curse at Baek Ahyoung’s apologetic face, so he swallowed his tears.

After much ado, the treatment was finished, but Baek Ahyoung was not in a state to receive the next patient.

“Um, Nurse. If you’re not feeling well, perhaps you should rest….”

“…I’m sorry. I’ll head in first today.”

Seeing Baek Ahyoung’s condition, the medical team suggested she rest first.

Baek Ahyoung knew well that continuing to push herself would only be a burden.

Baek Ahyoung exited the medical team building and headed towards the infirmary.

Tudul tudul.

Many people recognized Baek Ahyoung as she passed the site where they were restoring from the attack and greeted her, but Baek Ahyoung wasn’t in the mood to return the greetings, offering only a faint smile.

Fortunately, it was right next to the medical team building, so she didn’t encounter too many people.

Baek Ahyoung climbed to the 3rd-floor dormitory with weary steps.

Baek Ahyoung collapsed onto the bed, which smelled distinctly of both man and woman.

“Haa….”

Baek Ahyoung stretched her hand towards the ceiling and fell deep in thought.

Last night felt like a dream.

She had been intimate with Lee Hoyeon multiple times, but last night was truly a long and thrilling night.

But Baek Ahyoung wondered why she felt a sense of regret and disappointment.

They had been in that kind of relationship from the start.

Baek Ahyoung was the victim, forced into it because her weakness was exploited, and Lee Hoyeon was the trash perpetrator.

If she reported him to the police right now, Lee Hoyeon wouldn’t be able to show his face in public anymore.

No, he wouldn’t be able to move around at all. He’d rot in prison for life.

That was the extent of the saintly image Baek Ahyoung had built up.

Of course, Baek Ahyoung also enjoyed that kind of play, so she had no intention of reporting him.

She just… just wished this kind of relationship could continue.

However, Baek Ahyoung couldn’t shake off the shock she received last night.

The line drawn between herself and Lee Hoyeon after their passionate encounter.

Lee Hoyeon still saw Baek Ahyoung merely as an outlet for his sexual urges.

Baek Ahyoung wanted that too, so it was technically not a problem… but strangely, her heart felt empty.

“Why… why? Hic….”

Tears flowed down the corners of Baek Ahyoung’s eyes, tracing paths along her cheeks to her ears.

She knew the reason.

She just didn’t want to admit it.

She didn’t want to acknowledge her feelings, nor did she want to understand them.

It was useless to blame herself for being so foolish.

“I like you… I’ve started to like you.”

Something had changed.

The world had changed since meeting Lee Hoyeon.

She no longer got excited during treatments.

When men whose lives were hanging by a thread looked at Baek Ahyoung with lustful eyes, she no longer needed to worry about her posture to hide her damp panties.

The days of masturbating while imagining being raped by a stranger were gone.

Baek Ahyoung’s masturbation material was now fixed on one man.

Only after the line was clearly drawn did she recognize this feeling.

“I love you. I love you so much. Honey.”

Baek Ahyoung didn’t wipe away the flowing tears.

No matter how she thought about it, love couldn’t possibly sprout from a relationship between a rapist and a victim.

Such love stories didn’t exist in her common sense, and besides, she was the only crazy bitch in the world who would call a rapist “honey.”

She was just feeling these emotions all by herself.

To Lee Hoyeon, she was merely ‘play’ and a ‘tool.’

Her breath caught in her throat and her voice choked, but she didn’t let out a sob.

These feelings were greed.

Feelings she absolutely couldn’t show.

However, she resolved to try her best to maintain this relationship for as long as possible.

That was the limit of what Baek Ahyoung could think of right now.

*

Scarlet reported that she was investigating me before heading off to investigate Alice.

She claimed to be one of the Iris Guild’s top stealth experts, so she probably wouldn’t get caught by Alice.

“Speaking of which, if that’s considered top-tier stealth, then Mana Sensitivity really is OP.”

Since I awakened [Mana Sensitivity], my detection abilities have become incredible.

At this level, I probably don’t need to worry about ambushes anymore.

“Nom, what was that?”

“Nothing. Eat more.”

Since Liliana won the bet with Scarlet about whether she’d betray me today or not, tonight’s dinner is chicken.

While tearing into the incredibly delicious, mana-infused chicken, I tapped on my smartwatch.

I originally planned to meet Moon Surin during the festival, but with the aftermath of the terrorist attack, Moon Surin, as student council president, must be incredibly busy.

• Me: Surin noona. Leaving a message since you must be busy. Let’s definitely grab a meal next time once things settle down.

‘No reply.’

Usually, no matter how busy she was, she’d reply to my messages quickly, but the lack of response suggests she’s really swamped.

• Me: Ayoung-ssi. Are you busy? I heard there were a huge number of casualties.

“….”

Did they all fall into workaholism at once?

Baek Ahyoung should have had time to message me.

“Guess this person is busy too.”

It’s weird to always expect them to wait and reply to my messages. Sometimes there are circumstances.

‘…Could they be mad at me?’

Then again, I was pretty harsh.

‘I’ll need to smooth things over next time I see them.’

Now, I need to properly secure at least one person.

I don’t know who the first target will be, but maybe Baek Ahyoung or Lumi.

I finished the rest of the chicken, took off my cadet uniform, and hung it on the hanger.

“Huh?”

Something was in my pocket, so I took it out. It was a red lucky pouch.

There was nothing inside, and checking my equipment status showed it was just an ordinary lucky pouch.

“Trash. Ah, right.”

Seeing the pouch suddenly reminded me about the Demon King.

I need to ask Liliana if she knows about the Demon King’s existence.

I tossed the lucky pouch into the trash can, sinking it in, and entered Liliana’s room where she was preparing for her broadcast.

“Liliana. Got a moment?”

“I’m about to broadcast, why?”

“Do you know who the Demon King is?”

“Huh? Demon King? Are you talking about the Demon King of the Underworld?”

“You know him?!”

You know him? As expected, Liliana is a helpful succubus.

“Of course, I do. But why the Demon King?”

“Just curious. Tell me some information about the Demon King.”

“I don’t know much either… The Demon King is the ruler of the Underworld and the strongest. There isn’t much information available to ordinary people like me.”

“What. That’s a bummer.”

She’s problematic because she’s ambiguously helpful.

It would be better if she committed clearly to one side. She just makes me anticipate things unnecessarily.

“Who asked you to ask! I have to broadcast. Get out.”

“Okay. Good luck.”

I couldn’t interfere with her work.

After leaving the room, I pondered what to do next.

Cadets were notified not to leave the dormitories today due to the danger.

“I should have brought Scarlet along to play with.”

I sent her away early for nothing. Alice would be home anyway.

“Maybe Liliana’s mother would know something.”

Later, after Liliana’s broadcast ends, I should review the Underworld contract again.

To kill time, I lay down and fiddled with my smartwatch.

It’s okay to laze around like this sometimes, right? Considering how hard I work my body.

Tiring-

I was lying on the sofa watching a funny video when a message arrived.

The sender was Surin noona.

• Surin noona: Sorry for the late reply, I was busy. Let’s eat later. And don’t mind what others say.

“…?”

What is this noona talking about all of a sudden?

*

“Well then, I’ll be going. Miss Alice. It was nice meeting you.”

“Yes. Thank you for your hard work.”

After the elderly mana masseuse left the room, Alice gathered her underwear.

‘Not this time either.’

I don’t even know how many people this is.

The number of people I’ve met has already passed several tens and is heading towards fifty.

Receiving massages so many times a day, my body feels like it’s getting strange.

“Haa….”

But even after receiving so many massages, I still haven’t felt that sensation from back then.

Alice put on her top in her room and came outside.

“… Sebastian.”

“Yes. Young Miss.”

Sebastian was waiting in front of Alice’s room after seeing the masseuse out.

“It wasn’t this time either.”

“Understood. I will try to find another masseuse.”

“…Are there any more masseuses available?”

I’ve now been connected with all the popular female masseuses.

The reason the elderly masseuse came today is that there are no longer any suitable people among the younger ones.

“I will search the list once more.”

“Forget it. Finding someone incompetent won’t have any effect.”

“But if we don’t…”

Now, if not female masseuses, then only males are left.

Sebastian was about to say just that.

“Stop it. Let’s just stop looking for masseuses. It’s too much of a hassle.”

All masseuses who meet Alice must be placed under a non-disclosure agreement.

That’s why they receive substantial compensation.

Of course, it’s not a huge amount for the Iris Guild, but meeting dozens of people, not just one or two, has made the cost enormous.

“But…”

“I’ll figure it out myself. Don’t worry about it.”

She hadn’t told anyone about receiving a massage from Lee Hoyeon yet.

‘I think I’ll get better if I receive a mana massage.’ This whole operation was initiated by Alice’s simple statement.

‘If it’s like this, I might as well just go to Lee Hoyeon.’

“Speaking of which, how is Scarlet doing?”

Although she had tasked Scarlet with investigating Lee Hoyeon, Alice couldn’t shake off a strange sense of unease.

It wasn’t that she doubted Scarlet’s abilities, it was just a gut feeling.

“I just received word. We’ve confirmed Lee Hoyeon is involved with a woman inside his residence, and Scarlet plans to approach cautiously. Since filming it won’t be easy, it seems like a sound judgment.”

“Mhmm… Well, I didn’t expect immediate results anyway. I’m going to rest for a bit.”

“Yes. Understood.”

Sebastian lives in the house right next to the mansion so he can respond immediately if anything happens to Alice.

Alice calmly went back into her room.

As soon as she confirmed Sebastian entering the adjacent house, she closed the window and cast a barrier.

‘Looks like I’ll have to use my imagination again today.’

Since I’m not getting any material, I have no choice.

Alice took off her top and burrowed under the covers.

She could feel her panties getting damp inside.

“Heeuung… Hoo. Lee Hoyeon….”

Then, frowning, she recalled the memories from the survival test.

Alice had absolutely no sexual experience.

Actually, it’s more accurate to say she was too busy trying to survive to have had the time.

The first sexual experience she had was with Lee Hoyeon, and it was far too early and stimulating for her.

After that, Alice, driven by curiosity, dabbled a bit into such media, but nothing could overshadow the shock Lee Hoyeon had given her.

Especially the sight of his large member and the faces of Baek Ahyoung and Lumi, who looked so genuinely pleased, wouldn’t leave Alice’s mind.

Because their faces looked genuinely happy, not acted or fake.

It was like a baby who should be eating baby food slowly had developed a taste for fried chicken, rendering them unable to be satisfied with baby food.

While stimulating her clitoris with her fingers, Alice recalled Baek Ahyoung’s blissful expression.

“Hic….”

Alice’s body jolted momentarily as she reached climax.

“Haa. Haa….”

But one time wasn’t enough.

Alice recalled the time she received a massage from Lee Hoyeon.

The sensation of her whole body heating up, blood circulating rapidly, heart pounding, and a tingling spine.

Only after discovering masturbation could she understand what that sensation was.

It was arousal.

‘I got aroused while receiving a massage from Lee Hoyeon… Am I a pervert?’

Alice couldn’t stop her fingers, even while thinking such thoughts.

“Lee Hoyeon… Eueu….”

Reliving the sensations from the massage, Alice pictured Lee Hoyeon’s penis entering Lumi.

[Hoyeon-ssi, it feels good. So good. Aang….]

Lumi’s moans of pleasure seemed to echo in Alice’s ears.

Touching her own wet pussy, which was slick with discharge, Alice panted heavily.

“Ho, Hoyeon-ah…. Me too… Hup.”

Calling Lee Hoyeon’s name while masturbating made it feel like she was directly immersed in the situation, making the climax feel even more exhilarating.

This was something she discovered during masturbation.

“Hut, Ah… Hoyeon-ah. Ha-eut.”

Alice continued to masturbate intensely for quite some time.

And then, Scarlet, who was attached to the ceiling of Alice’s room, thought.

‘Maybe I can get a reward…!’

Scarlet quietly smirked.
