“Assuming you’re right, let’s say that woman is a succubus. I don’t know much about succubi, but isn’t it a creature that makes men horny?”

“… Well, well, well, not really.”

Avoiding Ellis’ eyes, I picked up an apple and ate it.

No matter what, I can’t sell Liliana.

I’d rather be trash. Since it was originally trash, there was no damage.

“That’s not important. Let’s talk about the pandemic first.”

“I don’t know what the pandemic has to do with you, but… I get it.”

I put aside Liliana’s story and began to explain in a way that Ellis could understand as best as I could.

He summoned Liliana with a contract from Hell that he had luckily obtained on the black market, and at the same time, he was caught in the contract and became responsible for Liliana.

And in Pandemic, he went after the centaur because he found out that the summoning apostle came from the same hell as Liliana.

After hearing what I said, Ellis nodded and then opened her mouth.

“… Actually, I don’t understand most of it.”

“Really? If there’s anything you want to ask, just ask.”

I did my best to explain it, but it seems like I don’t understand it because it’s a completely new concept.

In particular, they probably don’t understand parts like hell and apostles.

If you ask a modern person if they know about hell, they will scold you and tell you to go away.

“I don’t even know about the existence of a succubus… and this is my first time hearing about a contract from hell. Moreover, I don’t understand the motive of trying to capture a centaur just because a succubus and a centaur come from the same place.”

“….”

Ellis pointed out the parts I had skipped over.

“And one thing before that.”

“huh.”

“What on earth is your relationship with Scarlett? Even if the reason she sacrificed herself for you was to succeed in the mission to capture the centaur, the reaction that followed was one that could not have come from someone who had already known her. That woman’s reaction was the same, and so was yours. ”

“That’s right. I knew Scarlett before the operation.”

I couldn’t help but feel suspicious the moment Scarlett was attacked instead of me.

Ellis would be especially suspicious after seeing Liliana’s reaction.

“How? Where did you find out? In France? What did you do when I showed you to the Iris Guild?!”

“… No. I caught Scarlett who was following me in Korea. When I caught her and asked her about it, she happened to be from the Iris Guild and we started helping each other.”

Ellis frowned slightly.

Maybe something will sting.

The first time I met Scarlett was when she was following me on Ellis’ orders.

They are anxious that their secrets have been discovered.

‘It would be better to tell a nice lie here.’

There is no need to put pressure on Ellis, and Scarlett’s position should also be considered.

She is the undisputed ace of the Iris Guild.

“…Did you use Scarlett to steal information about the Iris Guild?”

“No. I’ve never heard anything about the Iris Guild. Scarlett is an excellent assassin, so she only received help when she needed to do some behind-the-scenes work in Korea. I didn’t ask for the Iris Guild’s information in the first place because I didn’t need it.”

“… okay?”

★ Heroine status window

[Ellis]

─ [Likeability: 98] (+ 0.1)

─ [Liberty: 85]

─ [Appetite: 30]

─ [Fatigue: 30]

Current Status: Wouldn’t he be angry if he knew I was asking for information? If you look at the way you stay still, it looks like you’re serious.

Ellis seemed worried, but in the end, she wouldn’t doubt me.

I guess it’s the difference between women and men.

Actually, men don’t get that upset when women see me naked.

If you’re a pretty girl, there will even be men who want to show it off.

Women can never understand that emotion.

‘is not it?’

I haven’t lived with another man, so maybe it’s just me.

Anyway, I’m fine.

That’s important.

I continued speaking naturally.

“Do you have any other questions?”

“… You said that. We needed information about the pandemic as well as information about hell.”

“It did.”

As much as he was obsessed with capturing centaurs, just because he and Liliana shared the same hometown was not enough. That’s why I sold the pandemic a bit.

“Why? What do you have to do with the pandemic?”

“Uh… um.”

Actually, I thought about it several times.

‘This world is a game and I have a duty to attack you.’

‘Otherwise the world will perish.’

‘Increasing the number of women is inevitable.’

I thought about confessing honestly like that or persuading by mixing lies and truth, but… No matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t make sense.

It would be impossible to accept with common sense that one’s life is a game.

If you hide that it’s a game, the method of persuading disappears.

Because I can’t show my quests and status window to others.

And I also think of this world as the real world.

The people here are not data, but living, breathing humans.

Rather, such thoughts should be eliminated.

“The pandemic… was just a side effect. They are bad guys, so it would be good to deal with them.”

In the end, I let out a stupid excuse.

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no excuse.

Even if you make big claims about saving the world, you will only be treated as a mental patient.

“It would be nice to catch it, but I don’t understand. Why do you have to do it?”

“That’s right.”

I hate it too.

How nice it would be to live in peace and just play around with girls.

But I can’t help it.

In the end, it is our destiny to catch the Demon King and the Maestro.

Ellis opened her mouth as if she had even more doubts about my answer.

“… It’s really strange. Are you having any strange thoughts about becoming an apostle of justice?”

“Don’t worry. I won’t do anything dangerous.”

“It’s not that I’m worried, it’s that I’m dumbfounded. It seems like it’s normal to see him talking nonsense… whew.”

Ellis shook his head and got up.

Ellis stretched, making a nodding sound, and spoke again.

“Actually, I have a lot of questions. I’m curious about the source of a lot of your information, and I’m also curious about that hell place. I also have a lot of questions about the succubus. But I won’t bother to ask.”

“You trust me.”

“Rather than believing it, I just… haha, I don’t know.”

Ellis shook his head with a frustrated expression.

If you’re going to take my side anyway, why are you pretending not to? huh?

This bastard.

“…what is that look on your face?”

“Nothing.”

As expected, he is quick-witted.

Fortunately, I think I’ve roughly explained it, so let’s return to the topic.

“Now that I think about it, you used magic incredibly well during the mission to capture the centaur. Were there any aftereffects?”

“Oh… right. I have something to say about that too.”

Ellis placed her back against the backrest of the bed and used magic power in her hands.

grasp-

Soon, magic spheres began to form in her palm, and the completed magic spheres were clear even to me.

Ellis looked at me and smiled confidently.

“Now something like this is possible.”

“…Elise, can you give me your wrist for a moment?”

“huh?”

I grabbed Ellis’ wrist and quickly checked the magic power inside her body.

Surprisingly, Ellis’ magic circuit had returned to almost normal level.

Maybe it was because I used a lot of magical energy that day after the massage, but it actually felt better.

“Isn’t this level of normal?”

“That’s right. I feel like I’m completely… back now. I’ve never felt like this before.”

“You’re so strong, why are you hospitalized?”

“… I don’t know either.”

Normally, he would have said something when I touched his body, but he seems extremely happy.

I feel happy because you are so happy.

Ellis looked in wonder at the glowing magic sphere in her hand.

I also smiled at Ellis, who was in a good mood.

“Of course, I think so. If I just trim it a little more, I can say it’s completely cured. I didn’t expect it to be completely cured so quickly.”

“… what?”

Ellis extinguished her magic and opened her eyes wide.

what. Why is this happening all of a sudden?

“huh?”

“What did you just say?”

“I didn’t know it would be cured so quickly.”

“No, before that.”

“You said you thought it would be completely cured if you just refined it a little more? It’s almost at the level of an ordinary person.”

“… Isn’t this a cure?”

“Of course. Didn’t you know?”

“I had no idea. I thought I was completely healed from that… massage that night.”

“Hmm.”

I thought I was completely cured because of the sex I had the night before the centaur capture operation.

Well, I had a long massage that day, so the effect was great.

As I got stronger, my massage skills also improved.

But it is not completely cured yet.

Because we can increase the magic circuit a little more.

… for a moment.

This again looks like an angle.

I slowly opened my mouth as I looked at Ellis, who was feeling the magic as she clenched and opened her hands.

“Do you still feel frustrated when using magical power?”

“It sure seems like that. Is it possible to get rid of this feeling?”

For your information, I don’t know whether there is a feeling of frustration or not.

However, for Ellis, who has only just begun to use her magic properly, is it really true if I say so? That’s how you think.

It feels similar to personality tests on the internet.

If you write something that everyone can relate to, it feels like it’s true.

“Getting rid of that feeling depends on your efforts. I can only assist by increasing the mana circuit.”

“…are you free today?”

Ellis looked at me cautiously.

From those eyes, I felt a massage.

‘It worked!’

It makes me want to jump into bed right away, but there’s something I need to decide before that.

“I’m fine… We need to decide on our schedule first. We couldn’t decide on a schedule because you were the only one talking about me. Are you going to stay in France instead of going to the academy?”

“Oh, wait a minute.”

Ellis nodded and turned on the smartwatch.

Then, I started moving my fingers while looking at the hologram monitor that appeared before my eyes.

Knock-knock-knock-

“What are you doing?”

“Just a moment. Almost done.”

Are you calling Isaac?

I ate the cute apple next to me and waited for Ellis.

But this thing is pretty, like it was carved.

It is the prettiest rabbit apple I have ever seen in my life.

As I was admiring the apples, Ellis spoke to me.

“I was planning to go back on Thursday.”

“thursday?”

“Yes. You said it was okay too.”

“Yeah, but… does it end so quickly?”

“I texted my dad.”

“oh….”

Seeing as it ended so quickly, I wonder if he was acting cute.

Looking at the slightly narrowed area between the eyebrows, it seems to be true.

Ellis turned off her smartwatch and made eye contact with me.

“…How many times do you think it will be enough?”

“You mean massage?”

“huh.”

“Uh… three times?”

I quickly shook my head for a moment.

Once is too little.

pass.

twice?

It’s a bit disappointing twice.

However, I felt like I would get criticized if I said too many, so I said about three times.

“It sounds like a lie.”

“… What are you talking about? When did I lie?”

“Your eyes just twitched.”

“….”

Was that how the heroines noticed my lies?

I’ll have to be careful with my eyes from now on.

I tightened my eyes and continued speaking.

“If you do it for 10 hours at a time, it could be done once, but you don’t usually do that, so that’s why I thought about it.”

“…Really? I understand.”

“Yes, yes. So are you going to do it right now? When are you going to be discharged?”

“I don’t know. One thing I know for sure is that I’ll be here today, so it’s okay. My sister has gone to work too, so she won’t be here for at least a few hours.”

I nodded and smiled slightly.

Even though I did that yesterday, I still want to do it again. It’s amazing, even though it’s my body.

“You’re not going to do anything weird today, are you?”

“… huh.”

But Ellis’s next words made me lose all my strength.

massage.

Of course, massage is also good.

But what can I do with something I’ve already experienced?

When I had no experience, I was satisfied with a massage, but after experiencing Ellis’s desirable body, I could no longer be satisfied with just touching it.

‘If I touch it, maybe I’ll give it permission.’

Or should I just do it naturally like last time?

If I do that again this time, I think I’ll be really criticized… .

As I continued to seriously ponder, I heard Ellis’ voice.

“Or… does a strange massage really work well?”

“Well… it’s okay if you do it, but I’m not forcing you… It’s your choice.”

Would.

I appealed to Ellis with my eyes shining.

I wonder if this is enough for people to understand.

“… I wish you could say it properly. It’s not like a man is talking back.”

“It’s better to do it anyway. I can definitely fix it. Just trust me, Ellis.”

“Ha, yes. Please do me a favor.”

Ellis laughed, saying she knew that would happen, and began to take off her patient gown.
