Chapter Title: Contract
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hell's Contract.
The very item I'd seen when I first contracted with Lilia.
It was slightly different from the Hellscum Contract, but essentially the same document.
And yet, it had come from the pocket of Gil Steven, an executive of Pandemic.
'Is Hell... something important in this world's lore?'
What kind of connection did Pandemic have with Hell?
Pandemic was an organization created by its boss, Maestro, to summon the Demon King.
He was a madman who truly desired the extermination of humanity, and with his abilities, he perfectly embodied a villain.
From a player's perspective in the game, there was no way to know Maestro's full intentions.
All we knew was his goal: to wipe out the human race from Earth.
Even in the original story, there was no mention of any link between Pandemic and Hell.
That's why I'd been so shocked when I first saw Lilia.
I hadn't even known this game had a Hell setting.
'What connection does Pandemic have with Hell... Huh?'
Then a line flashed through my mind.
It was a fleeting bit of dialogue from the game, but it existed.
[The moment the Demon King descends, you too will learn what Hell truly is.]
It was a line from one of Pandemic's core executives during combat.
Since the story never unfolded from Pandemic's viewpoint, players had little info on the Demon King.
We just figured there'd be some final boss eventually.
Looking back now, maybe the Demon King was a being from Hell?
It made sense that summoning a king from another world would require sacrifices.
And the proof was this Hell's Contract.
Hell, a place we couldn't even fathom, was communicating with the villainous group Pandemic.
After all, a core executive had possessed an item from Hell.
'Maybe Lilia knows something about the Demon King?'
The issue was whether the Hell Lilia came from was the same one where the Demon King resided.
I hoped she did.
She'd called herself a shut-in gamer nerd, but if the Demon King was famous, she'd at least know the name.
It might even make strategizing against him easier.
Shk—
I slipped the contract into my pocket and headed back to the dorm.
*
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ Path to the dorm was chaos. The aftermath of the terrorist attack meant the Heavenly Festival, originally set to run through Sunday, would likely wrap up today.
Starting tomorrow, they'd be busy with investigations, interrogating Gil Steven, and repairing the damage.
Today was Thursday. No classes this week anyway, so that worked for me.
I entered the dorm, but then... a sound that shouldn't be coming from my room echoed from inside.
"Hngh! Krgh, uuuugh...!"
"Oh... this spot feels good, huh? Even among female bodies, it's different from mine."
"Ugh! Hooguugh!"
"...?"
I hopped on one foot to kick off my shoes and stepped into the living room.
What unfolded there was beyond anything I'd imagined.
"How about here?"
"Hnnngh!"
"This one?"
"Oob♡ Nyuhugh!"
"Weird. She seems to like everything."
Lilia was probing the spread-legged blonde stalker's pussy—bound by my mana ropes—with her own tail.
Love juices squirted from the soft-tailed intrusion like a faucet.
"... ."
"Oh, you're back?"
Lilia spotted me but kept casually thrusting away.
"Uuuugh! Uuuuuugh!"
The blonde stalker, noticing me, started muffled wailing even harder.
"Lilia... what are you doing?"
"Experimenting on her body to prep for when we have threesomes or whatever later. She's super obedient now~. No more resistance."
"Ugh...! Hngh. Hnnngh...!"
"... Looks more like she's begging for mercy to me."
"Really? Nah, she's totally into it."
The blonde's eyes had definitely softened.
The murderous glare and venomous stare from earlier were gone, replaced by the gaze of a fragile herbivore.
"You're actually pretty good at torture. I'll admit succubi excel at it."
For women only, of course.
"Right?! Finally, recognition!"
Lilia triumphantly pumped her fist, then withdrew her tail from the blonde's pussy and wiped the juices on her belly.
Seeing the blonde drenched in sweat and fluids everywhere, face flushed beet red, she looked kinda pitiful.
"... Blocked her mouth so she wouldn't be loud, but guess we can ungag her now."
I tweaked the magic circle to free the blonde's mouth.
"Please spare me. Please spare me. Please spare me. Please spare me. Please spare me. Please spare me. Please spare me. Please spare me. Please spare me. Please spare me. Please spare me. Please spare me. This crazy bitch is trying to kill me. Please save me, Ho-yeon. Please, please."
She unleashed a torrent of pleas the moment her mouth was free.
"Wait, she's not obedient at all! You bad girl! I thought we were bonding!"
"Haaah! Please, stop now... I'm going insane... Haaah... Aaang♡."
"... ."
Whatever ticked Lilia off, she jammed her tail back into the blonde's pussy.
No way it goes that deep...? Isn't that reaching her womb?
But despite her words, she stuck out her tongue and arched her head back like she loved it.
"Hyaak, haak... Hngk, hik... Aak... ."
Nope. That's looking dangerous.
"Lilia, hold up. Let me talk to her first."
I stopped her before the blonde passed out.
"See? Isn't it great?! You pervert bitch! Oh, fine? Got it."
"... Hngh. Hnnngh... Hic."
"Hey, quit crying and snap out of it."
Tap. Tap.
I lightly patted the cheeks of the blonde, who was now tearfully sobbing like she'd been wronged.
"You're from Ellis, right? An executive in Iris Guild?"
"Hic... Hng... ."
"No answer, and we'll pick this up tomorrow. Wanna hang with Lilia another day?"
"Yes! Yes! Please spare me. Hic... Please... ."
Her compliance eased my mind.
Finally ready to talk.
"First off, what's your name."
"Scarlett... Hic."
"Scarlett... ."
Not ringing any bells from the original story, so probably not a major character.
Likely just one of Iris Guild's hunters.
"What's the purpose of tailing me?"
"Hng, she told me to film you having sleazy sex with women... ."
"... This bitch is lying. Lilia?"
"No! No! Please believe me! Hic. My right ear piercing has a camera too."
"Hmm... ."
Unlike her clean left ear, something was dangling from the right.
I focused my mana sight on the piercing.
⚔ STATUS ⚔ ────[ Mini Camera ]──── ▶ Rank: Medium ▶ A small camera with recording function. ▶ Includes mana stone for seamless integration with wearer. ──────────── 'This is straight-up for crimes.'
In a world with magic, crime was inevitable.
No need to check the footage... this seems legit.
"Why does she need footage of me? Any idea?"
"Not really... I just follow orders from above... Hic."
"Sigh... ."
Something's off.
Even with Ellis's icy personality, after all I've done for her, would she try to dig up dirt?
No way.
If she were that unlikable, she wouldn't be a heroine.
So there's something I don't know... but no way to find out.
"Hic... Just spare me. I'll do anything."
"There we go. Found our way."
I smiled at the teary Scarlett.
"Scarlett. We can both win here."
"Y-yes. Sounds good. Sounds good... ."
I flashed a sly grin and pulled Hell's Contract from my pocket.
*
"See? Fair deal. I've been plenty considerate."
"Yes... Thank you. Truly, thank you."
"Just work hard for it."
Scarlett Light took the contract from Lee Ho-yeon and inwardly sneered.
'What a dumbass. So obvious he's never worked a real job.'
She skimmed it one last time before signing. The thing was riddled with loopholes.
Ambiguous phrasing that could be interpreted multiple ways, and every clause required her to stay close to him.
One escape, and it was worthless.
'Done. Mission accomplished! I'm the best.'
If he'd come back even a bit later, that psycho would've broken her completely. Talk about luck.
The crazy bitch was grinning beside Lee Ho-yeon now. Just looking at her face made Scarlett's pussy clench in fear.
Once out of this, revenge for sure.
"Checked it? Inject your mana. Mine's done."
"Yes, got it... ."
Shrrk—
As Scarlett infused her mana, the contract glowed and linked.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Thank you for using Hell's Contract.] [Contract established with human 'Lee Ho-yeon'.] 'These modern contracts even pop up messages, huh.'
Scarlett had signed countless contracts, but never one like this.
"Alright, Scarlett. First mission: report that you're investigating me, then spy on Ellis instead. Double agent time."
"... Understood."
Just escape this mess.
Then bolt—
Beep—
The thought triggered a strange sound as a dog collar clamped around Scarlett's neck.
"Wh-what?! What's this?!"
She tried surging mana in panic, but the collar sapped her strength instantly. She was helpless.
"Whoa... already plotting betrayal? That was fast."
"See? Told you. I win, right?"
"Yup. She's mine now! Promise kept!"
Scarlett couldn't comprehend the nonsense from this pair.
Betrayal? Toy?
'What the hell...?'
She locked eyes with Lee Ho-yeon calmly anyway.
"Um, Cadet Lee Ho-yeon? What's going on? We made a fair contract. Nothing about this was in the terms... ."
No non-aggression clause or restrictions on interference. Zilch.
That's why she'd let her guard down. Too many holes.
So why the collar?
Lee Ho-yeon, petting Lilia's head, scoffed at panicked Scarlett.
"Ahaha... Customer, first time with a Hell's Contract?"
That laugh made Scarlett tremble uncontrollably.
