Chapter 35. Contract (5)

Chapter 35. Contract (5)

“...So, normally, succubi get married and have their coming-of-age ceremony before becoming adults?”

“That’s right. You understand well.”

“But you had your coming-of-age ceremony at 35 and then just lazed around at home for 15 years?”

“...Yeah.”

Munch munch.

Lilliana answered while putting chicken in her mouth.

“Why? Do you just like playing around? Don’t succubi have desires for marriage or lust?”

“At first, yeah, but after playing games, those desires disappeared...”

“Then why didn’t you get married when you still had those desires?”

“B-because there was a reason I couldn’t get married...”

“A reason?”

“You’re making me say this with my own succubus mouth? You bastard...”

“...?”

Lilliana glared at me fiercely.

What the hell is she talking about?

Is she hiding some huge secret?

She’s not secretly a guy, right?

“It looks weird...”

“Huh?”

Weird-looking?

I examined Lilliana’s face again.

Doesn’t seem like it. She’s definitely pretty.

“No! You idiot! Not my face! My tail!”

“Your tail?”

The heart-shaped tip of her tail? Honestly, it’s been fluttering around cutely for a while now.

“Haa, humans really don’t know anything. Since birth, my tail has been much shorter than other succubi.”

“Why is being short a problem?”

Lilliana’s tail seemed just the right length. It even looked a bit long—was it really that short?

“...Succubi must satisfy males with their whole bodies and extract essence. That is the purpose of our species.”

Lilliana lowered her head, seemingly embarrassed to say this out loud.

“In hell, sex culture is highly developed. The dumb, battle-obsessed races that rule hell don’t know how to enjoy culture, so most of their males are sex-crazed.”

“And what does that have to do with your tail?”

“The tail is an important part of a succubus. The perverts who abandon their own race to marry succubi are truly sex-crazed freaks. So tail play is important too.”

“Tail play? I can’t even imagine it.”

Wrapping things with the tail and shaking them? Why use the tail when you have hands?

“No, you insert the tail into the ass and stimulate the prostate...”

“Ugh, fuck! Shut up!”

“W-why are you shouting?! The prostate is an important erogenous zone...”

“You disgusting freaks!”

Even if the prostate is a good erogenous zone, I couldn’t imagine anything entering that hole.

Maybe licking the outside, but the moment anything went inside, it was game over.

I had just uncovered the filthy truth of these freaky, ass-loving demon races.

I should kill every single one I come across from now on.

“Anyway, because I kept getting rejected by high-ranking demons who wanted succubi, I started getting marriage proposals from disgusting orc or goblin chiefs. My mom even told me to just marry one...”

Damn, that’s both unrealistic and painfully realistic.

“So you’ve been single for 50 years because of that?”

“...Succubi have an average lifespan of 1,000 years. I’m 50, which is like being 5 in human years.”

“I decided not to believe that after seeing a 25-year-old elf.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“It’s just a thing.”

Lilliana finished eating all the chicken on her plate. When I brought her a bowl of rice, she ate it almost tearfully.

“Is it really that good?”

“It’s delicious! Eating isn’t just for survival. It’s so enjoyable!”

Lilliana was shedding more tears than when that tattooed pig grabbed her hair earlier.

This girl seriously has bipolar disorder.

“What did you usually eat in hell?”

“Hmm, fried hell-centipede with peppers, rotten apple juice... Sometimes we had hellhound meat, but compared to this chicken, it’s just garbage.”

Lilliana looked at the empty chicken plate with sad eyes.

“Enough. If you’re done eating, come sit over here.”

I sat on the bed and patted the spot next to me.

“I-I’ve never done this before...”

“No, I’m not thinking about that. Just come sit.”

Lilliana hesitated before sitting next to me.

“My tail isn’t perfect because it’s short, but please take care of me...”

I ignored her weird comment and took out a notebook and pen.

“First, tell me what you’re good at.”

“...?”

“Something profitable would be even better.”

Operation ‘Exploit Lilliana’s Skills’ began.

*

“Since you’re a summoned creature contracted with me, you might have sensed it, but keeping you here requires money.”

“Money...?”

“Yeah, specifically, something called mana stones. Maintaining you costs about 10 million won a month... Basically, the price of 1,000 chickens per month.”

“H-huh? That’s an insane amount of money...”

Lilliana’s eyes widened as she started counting on her fingers.

Do you even understand numbers that way?

“So, tell me what you’re good at. Preferably something profitable.”

“Uh, watching dramas...?”

“That’s not profitable. But you’re good at magic. Teach me magic.”

“O-okay. Got it.”

“Good. Noted.”

I wrote down [Lilliana’s Magic Class] in my notebook.

Charm magic would definitely be useful.

“Uh... I also eat well.”

“Why the hell can’t you just say you’re good at sex? Shouldn’t you be passing down your succubus sex skills to me?”

A succubus whose skills are watching dramas and eating? Is she insane?

“I-I’ve never done it before, so...”

“Sigh. Fine. Anything else?”

“Hmm, I’m also good at gaming.”

“And what’s the point of that? Next.”

“Uh, people I game with say my voice is nice...”

“Your voice?”

Her voice was nice, but her foul mouth ruined it.

Pretty face, nice voice... but she constantly spewed curses.

Huh?

Wait a minute, this is a character that smells like money.

“Hey, do you want to try streaming?”

“Streaming? Like on TV? That sounds overwhelming... When I was younger, I did a news interview, and people insulted me for having a pretty face but a short tail...”

“No, you just have to talk to yourself while playing games.”

Isn’t Lilliana exactly the kind of character internet stream viewers would love?

She’s pretty, has a nice voice, plays games well, and curses—it’s a perfect mix.

Plus, she’s a virgin.

If she curses and then acts shy when things get lewd, this would be a huge hit.

And I just thought of an incredible way to stir up attention.

Victoria Academy’s dormitories provide identical rooms to all students.

In other words, just looking at a room won’t tell you who lives there.

“A mysterious cosplay girl from Victoria Academy...?”

By day, I’m a student at Victoria Academy. By night, a sexy succubus cosplayer?

Even if someone investigates, they’d check the female dorms, not the male dorms. There’s no risk of being caught.

If I make her stream for a few days, reactions will naturally follow.

If there’s no reaction, I’ll anonymously spread the word myself.

“Hehehe...”

“What’s with those perverted eyes? You’re creeping me out.”

The dominatrix succubus stream begins.

*

“Alright, first, I need to learn some magic.”

“Sure, that much I can do.”

“Since you’re a succubus, you know spells that charm and arouse people, right?”

“What do you take me for? Of course, I do.”

Finally, something useful. As expected of a succubus, she should definitely know these things.

“Is there a spell to make a woman fall in love with me?”

If such a spell exists, I wouldn’t even need to put in effort to win them over.

“There is, but the power difference between the caster and target has to be enormous. It would probably work if the gap was as big as between you and a stray cat.”

“Then it’s useless.”

There’s no way the difference between me and the heroines would be that big.

“There are various charm spells. Some slightly increase favorability, while others allow complete domination.”

Was the spell she used on that tattooed pig earlier the full domination type?

“Normally, I can use full charm, but in the human world, the mana frequencies don’t match. My mana capacity has dropped, so it only lasts for a few seconds.”

“...”

That’s not the reason. It’s because of the contract.

No need to tell her about the contract’s existence.

There’s also a clause where I take responsibility if she gets hurt.

Besides, having an unknown factor keeps people from trying anything weird.

“I’ll start by teaching you a simple charm magic circle.”

Lilliana opened her palm and began tracing a magic circle with mana.

“Huh?”

I squinted at the magic circle. This was an entirely unfamiliar system.

Human magic doesn’t use this structure.

“Don’t be surprised. Demonic magic has developed over an unimaginably long time. Human magic is only a few hundred years old—there’s no comparison. Even enslaved human mages are always shocked when they see it.”

Indeed, it was a high-level system.

More efficient and less mana-consuming than human magic.

With more observation, I could definitely grasp it. I’ll ask her to teach me more later.

“So I can’t guarantee that I can even teach you my magic. I’ve never taught anyone before, and our systems are different.”

Eventually, Lilliana completed the magic circle.

“Charm magic fundamentally increases the target’s affection. The more attractive the caster, the stronger the effect. Non-succubi usually can’t utilize it well.”

As I listened, I continued analyzing the magic circle.

“Just keep observing. You won’t get immediate results, but if you keep at it, you might figure it out.”

I used [Mana Sensitivity] to analyze and comprehend the mana waves from the magic circle.

Hmm, it’s a bit difficult, but I think I can attempt it.

With a test subject right in front of me, should I give it a try?

I cast a charm spell on Lilliana.

“For reference, even for a succubus like me, this took over a year to master—”

Thump.

“Uh...?”

Lilliana’s eyes widened, her face reddened, and I could even hear her heartbeat quicken.

“How the hell did you cast charm magic instantly?!”

“Because I’m a genius.”

As expected, Lilliana’s magical prowess far exceeded mine.

Even in a weakened state, she immediately sensed my charm magic.

Or was it because her attraction increased too suddenly?

“Y-you crazy bastard. Hmph!”

Lilliana mustered her mana and forcibly dispelled my charm magic.

“Fuck. That felt gross.”

A succubus complaining about charm magic? That’s the height of hypocrisy.

“Sorry, I didn’t expect it to work so well.”

“...Be careful. Using charm magic recklessly is a serious offense.”

“Got it. I’ll be careful. Now teach me another spell.”

“Sigh... Fine, I’ll teach you a spell that goes beyond affection and induces love. But if you try it on me, I’ll kill you.”

“Wait a minute. Is there a spell to make someone dislike the opposite sex?”

Hearing my question, Lilliana looked at me like I was a disgusting creature.

“There is. Are you trying to steal another man’s woman? NTR is off-limits, you perverted bastard.”

“It’s not like that, don’t worry.”

Also, seriously, don’t call yourself a succubus.

What kind of succubus hates NTR?

“Well, if that’s the case, I can teach you.”

Perfect. Now I can make Lucy hate me even more.

The path to conquering Lucy is still long and arduous.

I’d love to be a sweet, good guy, but the world won’t let me.

But it’s fine. I’m the bad guy, Lee Hoyeon.

Villains... are what I’m used to being.
