Chapter 33. Contract (3)

Chapter 33. Contract (3)

“Ah, fuck. I was supposed to be raiding. Where the hell am I? This is annoying.”

“Hmm...”

What is this situation?

I summoned [50-Year-Old Spinster, Web-Weaving Master Succubus], and fortunately, a beautiful succubus appeared.

At least it wasn’t a wrinkled, overworked middle-aged succubus. That would’ve been a nightmare.

“Damn it! They keep talking about employment. My mom is still working! Why should I have to earn money?!”

If only she didn’t have such a foul mouth.

The succubus was staring into space, ranting nonsense.

“Why the hell would I sign a contract?! I already said I’m not working! What kind of employment service is this, you bastards?!”

Hmm. Employment?

“Don’t thank me for using your service! Just send me back home! My raid group is waiting, damn it!”

“...”

Ding!

Just as I was wondering what to do, a system window appeared before me.

[Thank you for using the Hell’s Delinquent Summoning Contract.]

[You have successfully contracted the succubus ‘Liliana.’]

[Please note that the contract is somewhat unstable.]

“Hmm.”

“Hey! What do you mean, ‘please use us again’?! Wait, where did it go? Come back out, you orc-balled bastards!”

Liliana was still yelling at the air. Looks like her system window disappeared too.

The system messages I received weren’t exactly helpful either, so I wasn’t surprised.

But Liliana still hadn’t noticed me.

“Excuse me?”

“Who are you—huh?! A human! I’ve never seen one in fifty years! I need to brag about this to Hell! Where’s my Hell Orb?!”

“Hell Orb? Liliana, I’m your contractor, by the way.”

“Contractor? No way! I never agreed to this! Just send me home!”

Liliana had no intention of conversing. She just stomped the ground and whined.

Looks like a true delinquent—impossible to reason with.

“...Stay still.”

Freeze—

Since I was technically her contractor, I tested if I could control her. She froze for about three seconds before twitching again.

“W-What the hell?!”

So this is what they meant by an ‘unstable contract.’

She listened, but the effect didn’t last long.

“W-What did you do to me, you damn human?!”

“Stand up and raise your hands.”

This time, I infused my voice with magic.

It just felt like that would be more effective.

“Hiiik!”

Liliana shrieked and stood up, raising her hands.

Bingo.

“S-Stop it!”

Ignoring her teary expression, I examined her figure.

Large F-cup breasts, a slender waist, and well-proportioned hips. Even her backside was perfect.

Above her rear, a succubus’s signature heart-shaped tail swayed.

How did a succubus like this end up single for fifty years?

“I-I swear, if you try anything, I’ll kill myself!”

Not ‘I’ll kill you,’ but ‘I’ll kill myself’? What kind of messed-up threat is that?

Also, doesn’t this contradict her being a succubus?

“Are you really a succubus? If someone tries to sleep with you, shouldn’t you be grateful and take them?”

“That’s only those sluts! I can survive just by gaming! Why would I do that?!”

“Hmm.”

“Listen, please send me back. My mom is sick. I have to take care of her. Please, I’m begging you.”

Now she was trying to guilt-trip me.

But I wasn’t someone to fall for emotional manipulation.

“I literally just heard you say your mom is working, so why should you?”

“Damn it, you caught that! Fine! Then at least let me out of this tiny room, you broke bastard!”

Unbelievable. She needs to try living in a real cramped apartment before complaining.

The Victoria Academy dorms were pretty luxurious.

“Fine. Get out.”

“H-Huh?”

“I said get out. Do whatever you want.”

“You… You really mean it?”

“Yeah. Bye.”

“This isn’t some dirty trick where you give me hope before assaulting me, right?!”

“Just leave already, you idiot.”

I pushed Liliana toward the front door.

Then I shoved her outside.

“Have a nice life. See that big front gate? This is a school. If you go past that, you’ll find the city. Good luck. Bye!”

Slam!

After saying my piece, I shut the door.

Using mana sensitivity, I checked outside. Liliana hesitated in front of the door, then slowly started walking down the stairs.

“What a crazy woman.”

As if I wasn’t already busy enough, now I had to deal with this mess.

Liliana was undeniably beautiful, but she was utterly useless.

Her magic wasn’t strong, her combat ability was nonexistent, and she refused to do what succubi were known for.

Honestly, why else would someone summon a succubus?

For nighttime activities, obviously.

If nothing else, I could’ve at least learned some tricks from her, but she didn’t seem willing.

No wonder she’s been single for fifty years.

In the end, she was of no use to me, and I couldn’t keep her in my dorm.

Imagine the rumors if someone found out I was living with a succubus.

I regretted spending money on the contract, but there was no reason to take responsibility for her.

“Tch, what a waste.”

Honestly, she was stunning, but I had plenty of heroines already.

“If she could’ve helped me win over my heroines, or at least benefited me in some way, that would’ve been nice.”

I already had too much on my plate.

Feeling somewhat uneasy, I returned to my room.

On the floor where Liliana had been sitting, two pieces of paper lay.

“What’s this?”

-------------------------------

[Hell’s Delinquent Summoning Contract]

The contractor, Lee Hoyeon, and the summon, Liliana, enter into the following agreement.

Article 1. The contractor may issue minor commands to the summon, which must be obeyed. However, as their bond deepens, stronger command authority is granted.

Article 2.

1. Since the summon is the property of Hell, if the summon sustains fatal injuries or disabilities that hinder productivity, the contractor must compensate for the loss.

2. If the contractor fails to fulfill the obligations stated in clause 1, Hell’s Reaper Judges will collect an equivalent payment.

Article 3. If the summon causes property damage to any group or individual, the contractor bears full responsibility.

Article 4.

1. Ownership of the summon remains with Hell, and in exchange for using the summon, the contractor must pay Hell a monthly fee in Hellstones. If Hellstones are unavailable, an equivalent local resource will be accepted.

2. Since Hellstones are difficult to obtain on Earth, the contractor must instead pay one high-grade Mana Stone per month.

Article 5. To ensure the contractor’s safety, the summon may only use power weaker than that of the contractor.

Article 6. This contract remains valid for ten years from the signing date. If no termination notice is given, it will automatically extend for one year at a time.

To validate this contract, two copies have been created, with one held by the contractor and the other by the summon.

--------------------------------

I slowly scanned through the contract.

“What the fuck? This is completely unfair.”

In summary, as Liliana’s contractor, I only have minor command authority.

In return, I have to pay one high-grade Mana Stone per month.

A single high-grade Mana Stone costs over ten million won.

I have to keep that useless baggage around and pay ten million won a month?

And if she gets hurt, I have to compensate her? If I can’t, Hell’s Reaper Judges will come after me? That sounds like a death sentence.

On top of that, she’s weaker than me because of the contract.

There were two copies—one for me and one for Liliana.

“...”

I obviously had to keep my copy. But I also took Liliana’s.

“Haa, I guess I have to go find her.”

Hopefully, she hasn’t wandered too far.

“Hmph hmph~”

Liliana followed my instructions and passed through the academy’s main gate, heading toward the academy shopping district.

Since it was the weekend, she didn’t encounter anyone in the academy, but as she approached the shopping district, silhouettes of people began to appear.

“Tsk. A mere human dares to order around a succubus? He’ll end up running away in fear.”

Liliana had deluded herself into thinking I had chickened out and sent her away.

Surprisingly, Hell had a decent amount of information about humans.

Though, the accuracy of that information was questionable.

“Alright, first I’ll seduce some handsome men. Then what?”

Hell had plenty of entertainment—dramas, anime, novels, and more.

The most popular ones? Stories about humans.

In Hell’s media, humans were beings of dreams and fantasy.

Just like how humans idolized elves, demons idolized humans.

Unlike demons, humans were depicted as pure, noble, and virtuous.

But unlike elves, humans actually existed, making them even more alluring.

High-ranking demons even kept human slaves. And those slaves looked exactly like the ones depicted in media.

Thump-thump.

“How many handsome men must there be in the human world?”

Seeing the real world firsthand, she realized none of it was a lie.

That contractor guy.

Judging by his cramped living space, he had to be a total loser.

Obviously, his bloodline was nothing special—definitely not royalty or nobility.

And yet, his face shined.

He was leagues above the human slaves she had seen in Hell—handsome, lively, and fresh.

Though she was accustomed to dark and shady entertainment, other demons would have been shocked by her thoughts.

If he looked that good, just how attractive were the truly elite humans?

Could they be even better-looking than him?

Liliana couldn’t even imagine it.

“Well, they’ll all be mine anyway!”

Her heart pounded faster as she approached the shopping district.

A group of humans was approaching.

As they got closer, her heartbeat quickened.

And then… her first encounter with humans—

A group of high school girls.

“Oh my god! Right?!”

“Whoa, my oppa’s chest muscles are insane. Huh? What’s that? A cosplay?”

Liliana froze.

These creatures were nothing like what she had imagined.

She had been told humans were all beautiful, like perfectly sculpted statues. But what she saw now was... the complete opposite.

“Isn’t that the new witch café worker by the portal?”

“Oh yeah! There’s someone dressed like a witch in front of that café. Maybe it’s the same thing?”

Two of the creatures approached Liliana.

“Unnie, is this a cosplay? Where did you get that tail? No way...”

“W-Waaah!”

“Whoa, what’s with the screaming?!”

“Kyaaah!”

Liliana ducked her head, covered her vision, shrieked, and ran away, shoving them aside.

After escaping, she found herself in the heart of the shopping district and surveyed her surroundings.

The area was bustling with people.

But.

That way—ugly. That way—ugly.

Not a single beautiful human in sight!

“W-Why…?”

Instead of breathtakingly handsome men, most of the guys looked like orcs from Hell.

Worse, some of these orc-humans leered at her as they passed.

“D-Damn it! This isn’t the human world! I was sent to the wrong place!”

Liliana, now in full denial, scanned her surroundings.

She quickly slipped into an empty alleyway.

“Haa, fuck. I need to escape. I have to get back to Hell.”

This was real Hell. She longed for the one she came from.

“Wait. My contractor didn’t look like this...”

If she had known, she never would’ve left!

Liliana cursed her past self for leaving the room and slumped against the alley wall.

Her contractor must be some high-ranking noble. That tiny room was probably a summoning chamber!

She had left without realizing the truth! What an idiot!

“Haa. What do I do now...”

She had no skills or knowledge to survive here.

“Whoa, check her out. Weird cosplay.”

Just then, two men strolled into the alley, eyeing her lecherously. Their bulging bellies made them look less like orcs and more like ogres.

“Hey, unnie, what are you doing here dressed like that?”

“Looks like she got dumped. Wanna hang out with us?”

“H-Huh?”

Liliana’s breath hitched as the ogre-like humans closed in.
