I sighed and entered the room, seeing the corners of Liliana’s mouth still raised.

“I never thought you were resting so well. I was worried that you might be crying alone.”

“There’s nothing to be afraid of! I have a genius wizard on my side!”

“Okay, okay. Thank you.”

“Still, I’m glad.”

Where did you learn about being a genius wizard?

I laughed and sat down on the bed.

As I sat down next to her, Liliana turned off the monitor that was playing the funny video and stood up, and Scarlett naturally stood next to me as always.

“But what’s going on? Scouting… huh?”

At that time, Liliana, who was laughing, suddenly approached Scarlett.

Sniff. Sniff.

Then he started sniffing.

“What? What are you doing all of a sudden?”

Liliana, who buried her face into Scarlett’s body like a puppy, opened her mouth and slowly turned her head to Scarlett’s face.

“Scout. You can’t believe it….”

“… I’m sorry. I was always careful, but I couldn’t avoid the magical beast.”

“What do you mean, demonic beast? Weren’t we on good terms?”

Scarlett bowed her head to Liliana and apologized, and Liliana clenched her fists and held them in front of her chest.

“Scout, you… you finally crossed the line!”

Clap clap clap-

Liliana clapped excitedly, happy as if it were her own work.

It was like a mother whose child, who worked hard to support her, got into Seoul National University.

No, is it something I would like that much…? ?

I asked, looking at Liliana’s face.

“…is it that good?”

“Of course. I feel like throwing a bachelorette party!”

“Does that sound like a good idea? I agree.”

A bachelorette party. I think it would be fun just to listen to.

I especially can’t stand Scarlett’s bachelorette party.

“Huh, then shall we come up with an idea?!”

“Well, then….”

“… Please stop. I feel like my heart is going cold.”

“sorry.”

I quickly apologized, crossing my arms around Scarlett.

Because I don’t know what will happen if I mess around even more.

Fortunately, Scarlett just sighed and didn’t reject my arms around her.

“So, what are you talking about if it’s not a bachelorette party? Are you here to report to Lady Liliana?!”

“…Stop talking about the bachelorette party. I’m thinking of going to Chiron.”

“Chiron…?”

Liliana frowned as if an unpleasant memory came to mind.

You don’t want to mention bad memories at all.

I understand.

But you can’t keep avoiding it.

Because that’s the only direction we can solve things right now.

I held onto Liliana’s anxious hand.

“Liliana. I don’t care what your past is. The same goes for Scarlett.”

“Actually, I’m not even sure if Liliana is a succubus or not.”

“… I’m a pureblood succubus!”

“It’s because it’s so familiar and comfortable.”

“That’s right. Even though Liliana is the daughter of the Demon King, it doesn’t feel real.”

“Uhm….”

“We can’t just be defeated by the centaur. Let’s go and get some information.”

Chiron said he would be there anyway.

He’s probably looking at the memory orb and waiting for you to come back.

They ruined our mood, so we have to do something about it.

“By the way, are you sure that the centaur named Chiron won’t run away? Wouldn’t it be better to report that the magical protection doesn’t work?”

“… I’m not sure, but it’s probably there. And reporting it will only complicate the process.”

“Well, all large guilds are the same.”

“Yeah. Well, you said you’re most comfortable now since coming to the human world, so it’ll be okay. I think you’ll be curious about Liliana’s reaction when she sees the memory orb.”

I think he might be a bit vengeful.

Actually, after looking at the memories, I don’t understand why Chiron left Liliana alone.

If it were me, I would have tried to kill my enemy as soon as I met him, but Chiron was strangely not hostile.

“Ugh! I don’t know! Do whatever you want! Let’s go!”

At that time, Liliana, who was pressing her eyebrows, screamed.

It seems he has organized his thoughts in his own way.

“Okay. Let’s go argue with that crazy centaur. I have a lot to ask.”

“Okay. I’m going to ask you too.”

“Okay, okay.”

Liliana looked a little anxious, but gave strength to the hand she was holding.

*

It was dark outside.

‘I’m less tired than I thought.’

Today was a truly ridiculous schedule.

After having sex with Sister Ellis, I immediately went on a mission to capture a centaur and talked to the captured Chiron.

By looking at Chiron’s memory orb, he learned about Liliana’s past and even had sex with Scarlett.

In fact, even before Scarlett was injured, I was tired enough to make mistakes in battle, but as major events such as Scarlett’s injury and Liliana’s past continued to occur, all sleep disappeared.

The body has entered a state of awakening.

Still, it would be better to finish the work as quickly as possible.

Because I might not be able to wake up tomorrow morning.

Without delay, we headed to the main building of the Iris Guild.

Perhaps because the centaur was captured, the atmosphere at Iris Guild was light.

A sense of relaxation appeared on people’s faces.

The receptionist in the lobby looked at me a little strangely when I returned after a few hours, but luckily she didn’t talk to me.

– I was really excited the last time I came.

“I know.”

Last time, we were excitedly talking about what questions to ask, but Liliana wasn’t very tense either.

As I rode down the elevator, I thought about questions to ask Chiron.

Among the many questions, the most important were three.

Who are the bastards of Hell, how did Liliana lose her memory, and finally, what is the identity of the Demon Lord of Hell?

————————–

[ Hell’s Bastard Summoning Contract ]

Are you the one who summoned the bastards from hell?

Choose one of the four bastards.

1. Lucifer, the devil butcher who is crazy about human flesh

2. Hell Academy Ada Bomber Gold Sun Incubus

3. F-class mercenary for 20 years. Centaur, the strength of an old man with 100 battles and defeats

4. 50-year-old spinster spider web-weaving master succubus

—————————

Both Liliana and Chiron’s names were written on the damn summoning contract.

If so, there is a possibility that the other two are also the devil’s children.

He could be my enemy, so it would be good to know the information.

Of course, we need to know Liliana’s information and the Demon Lord’s information.

In particular, the information about the Demon King is related to my main quest.

I don’t expect anything major like a weakness.

Still, since Chiron is the devil’s child, there will be some very helpful information.

“It looks like it’s inside.”

“Yes. Luckily he didn’t run away.”

I checked Chiron beyond the door and opened the door to the prison cell.

Chiron stood tall in the room, still wearing the ineffective magic restraint.

Well, if this is the case, it can be said that he has no intention of running away.

“Surprisingly, it looks like you weren’t shocked. I see you brought another girlfriend.”

Chiron slowly turned his head and looked at us.

Surprisingly, there was no regret or resentment in the voice.

“What did you expect?”

“I expected Killer Queen’s mistress to find out her true identity and become corrupted.”

“… It’s too specific.”

Pow-

Liliana, who had been transformed into a necklace at Chiron’s words, also returned to her original state.

“We’re not that soft! You bastard!”

“Hmm. So why did you come here? Even after seeing that memory orb, if you are still next to the Killer Queen, I have nothing to say to you.”

“I want to ask you something. What happened to Liliana after that? We don’t have any information.”

“Do I have any obligation to tell you that?”

“Then you should tell me, you bastard! How much trouble I had because of you!”

“Liliana, please calm down.”

Liliana stamped her feet and complained of frustration.

While Scarlett stopped Liliana, I stood in front of Chiron.

“…If you’re not going to tell me, why are you here? I’m sure you have a purpose too. If you want something, I’ll give it to you.”

Why Chiron is here.

Of course, as he said, he may have wanted to see Liliana’s mentality broken, but that wasn’t the only thing he wanted to do.

From the way he spoke, to the fact that he doesn’t have a burning desire for revenge on Liliana, this guy is clearly hiding something.

If there’s anything I can do, I should listen.

“Can a human interpret my intentions? I’m not sure about that.”

“… Don’t be weird. What happened to Liliana after the memories you showed me? I’m sure there is information you picked up.”

Chiron mentioned in passing that he disappeared overnight, but there is sure to be more information than that.

“I don’t know either. It was a time when I was struggling to survive in any way I could. At first, I survived miserably with only the desire to get revenge on the Killer Queen. I gave up my position as the successor to the Demon King and joined a mercenary group. I grew in strength and influence and took the position of the Demon King. “I was thinking of trying again.”

“however?”

“But Killer Queen quickly grew in power. To be precise, it should be said that she expanded her area of control. She grew to the point where she could compete with Lucifer, the number one successor. However, one day, there was no more news from Killer Queen. It was as if her existence had completely disappeared… It evaporated as if it had never existed in the first place. From then on, the purpose of my life was as if it had disappeared.”

“… uh.”

“That was when I first received the F-class mercenary badge. I was just planning to quietly increase my strength. But….”

As I watched Chiron continue talking endlessly, I glanced at Scarlett next to me.

Scarlett happened to be looking at me too, and we nodded to each other.

If you just leave it alone, it will figure out the information on its own.

*

“The stronger I got, the more I felt that I could never catch up to Killer Queen with my talent. No matter how vacant the position of Demon King was, coveting that position in the first place was greed for me. It was just youthful energy.”

After listening to Chiron’s life story for about an hour, I started to feel sleepy.

“… Ha, when will this end?”

“Shh. If you leave me alone, I think we’ll find out everything we want to know.”

I patted Liliana’s butt as she yawned.

Chiron was still talking, and if you knew him, you might have been lonely.

Actually, aren’t you here because you wanted someone to talk to?

“… It’s not easy. It’s hard to deal with an opponent like this.”

“But you still give good information.”

“Most of it is useless information. It’s like you’re talking about women.”

“Am I hurt?”

Scarlett laughed and hooked her finger around my little finger.

It’s a little bit hurt, but it’s cute so you have to look at it.

“… Then one day, a strange summoning magic circle appeared before my eyes. It was a low-level magic circle that I would never have been caught in normally, but I felt something pulling me. I subconsciously put my hand in it and was summoned to the human world.”

“Oh, really? After that, you were brainwashed and helped commit terrorism?”

“yes.”

It’s finally over.

I gathered useful information from a huge flood of information.

In times like these, the perk of improving memory is very helpful.

“So, Liliana disappeared overnight. The Demon King went on a one-year break to decide on a successor. Incubus and Lucifer are also the Demon King’s successors, right?”

“That’s right. Human, how do you know so much about hell?”

“….”

You told me everything.

It took quite some time, but I obtained some useful information.

If the Demon King has entered a one-year break, it means that no matter what he does during the pandemic, he will be safe for a year.

I erased the original game’s destruction route from my mind.

“I don’t want to be here anymore… If you’ve heard everything, let’s go. Please help me….”

“Wait a minute. Chiron, have you seen the guy named Maestro in Pandemic?”

“Maestro. There was definitely a human called that. For a human, he had a cool name.”

“… Do you have any information about that person? Even if it’s trivial, it’s okay.”

Maestro and Pandemic are the ones who ultimately summon the Demon King in the story.

This is an enemy that I must somehow get rid of if I want to survive in this world.

There is so little information right now, so it would be nice to have something.

“Is he your enemy?”

“huh?”

Chiron answered my question immediately.

Besides, it wasn’t just nonsense, it was a solid answer.

“I asked if the man named Maestro was your enemy.”

“…That’s right. He’s someone we have to kill somehow. There are a lot of precious things at stake.”

“I don’t know any other information, but I can tell you this one thing.”

“What?”

Chiron looked at me, frowning, as if an unpleasant memory came to mind.

“Give up now. Because humans can never defeat him.”
