Chapter Title: Weekend?

"Haah... Haaah..."
"Huu..."
*Smack-*
I gave Lilia's firm ass one last smack as she buried her face in the bed, still riding the aftershocks of her climax, then pulled myself out.
Scarlett was panting beside her.
Every time I thrust into Lilia, she'd gotten her revenge on Scarlett with her tail to the same degree.
"Scarlett. Bringing this info in just one day? As expected of Iris's elite."
"Th-thank youuu..."
She was around the same age as Professor Im Sol or Baek A-young, but seeing her—a bad succubus—caught like this, trembling and staining my bed with her juices... it was kinda pitiful.
"Get yourself together and head back. Bring more good stuff next time."
"Y-yes sir!"
Scarlett slowly started getting dressed.
As expected of Iris's elite.
Top ten among stealth magic users... Should I call her a Ten-Pro?
"...Using yang energy must be making me think dumb shit."
If Lilia heard that thought, she'd probably curse me out again for ruining the mood.
I stretched and left the room.
The outside was getting dark—it was about time.
No additional announcements yet, so I guess I can roam around tomorrow.
I mean, I found the demon, stopped the terror attack, even spoon-fed them an executive. What more is there to investigate?
I turned on my smartwatch, and notifications from when I'd turned it off during sex flooded in.
"Did they all schedule it?"
I checked the messages one by one.
- A-young: Sorry. Busy.
"She's really pissed."
This was the first time I'd gotten such a cold reply.
When I fought with my girlfriend back home, I'd always agonize over how to respond to stuff like this. And now here I was, right in that spot.
I had been a bit harsh with my A-young...
But it couldn't be helped.
Baek A-young was already past the point of being able to ditch me.
How do you dump someone whose affection hit 99?
Part of me wanted to rush over, hug her, and comfort her right now... but the world doesn't work that simply.
I had several women to target right away... Going full pure-love route one by one would just get me stabbed and killed.
No such thing as equals in love, but here, I had to firmly grab the dominant position.
If I couldn't, I'd have to stop targeting her.
To survive, I had to take it slow but perfectly.
In a harem route, nothing less than perfection with each one counts.
"Sigh. Gotta reply at least."
- Me: A-young. I'll come by next time. Rest well.
The 'you give short replies, so I will too' tactic.
Common in couple fights with zero compromise.
Means [I want to make up but won't apologize first].
That's how it'll be with A-young for a while.
She'll eventually bow her head and come crawling back.
I'll just wait for that moment.
"Soo-rin noona... and Ellis too?"
I hadn't messaged Ellis once since swapping numbers, and now she was reaching out first.
I checked Moon Soo-rin's message first, since it was higher up.
- Soo-rin noona: Ho-yeon. Got time this weekend? You worked hard during the terror thing, so noona's treating you to a meal ^^
"She's so upbeat."
She must be swamped and exhausted from the festival mess.
Something good happen?
- Me: Of course! Pick whatever day works for you, Saturday or Sunday.
Never turn down a beauty and a free meal.
Time to check on Soo-rin's mental state too.
Everyday's getting risky.
- Ellis: Got something to discuss about the massage. Contact me if you have time.
Here it comes.
Finally.
But first, something to confirm.
"Scarlett."
"Yes?"
I called out to Scarlett, who had just stuck to the ceiling to leave.
"You know Ellis is looking for a mana masseuse, right?"
"Of course. It's confidential, but I'm kinda close to the inner circle."
*Thud-*
Scarlett dropped from the ceiling to stand at attention politely to hear me out.
Nice posture.
"Figure out how far along things are and report back ASAP."
"Got it. Want me to go now?"
As expected of an ace—she got it right away.
I nodded.
"Yeah. The sooner, the better."
"Yes sir!"
Scarlett clenched her fist, stuck back to the ceiling, and slithered out like a lizard—whoosh-.
Everything's great, but can she drop that?
Honestly, every time I fuck Lilia, it pops into my head and kills my focus.
Makes me think she'll suddenly bolt naked to the ceiling mid-sex.
She's still Lilia's support role for now... but honestly, doing it together gets me going.
I want to pound Scarlett, but then that pose hits me and I lose the urge.
"Gotta talk to her about it next time. Tell her to exit normally, please."
Anyway, before meeting Ellis, I need solid info.
Whether it's desperate or relaxed will set my approach.
"She boasted like that, so she'll get it quick, right?"
I held off replying to Ellis.
Situation looks like I can make her wait a day or two.
- Lucy: Try this! Doesn't it look fun?
Lucy sent some MBTI test or whatever.
Apparently huge with girls these days.
Lucy and Lumi were the most casual chats, so they eased my mind.
We met the most too.
"Can't let it turn too friendly though..."
Get too close, and pushing for more gets awkward.
I want to wrap Lucy and Lumi up cleanly too. How?
"Hmm... Thinking too hard's giving me a headache."
I headed to the shower to cool off.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Saturday morning.
I felt a presence and sat up in bed. Scarlett was kneeling beside me.
"Got the info."
"...Already?"
"Yes. Perfect."
Scarlett looked up with a confident smile.
"Ugh, fine. Report."
"Kyaaah?!"
Not fully awake yet, but I could handle a report.
I groped Lilia's breast as she mumbled in her sleep beside me and eyed Scarlett.
Scarlett glanced at Lilia's twitching tail, swallowed hard, then met my eyes.
"Estimate: 28 masseuses have contacted Ellis. Could be more off-record, but pretty certain."
"28... How many per day is that?"
Survival ended six days ago— that's over four massages a day.
"All women, and the last record shows they even called in retirees."
"Hoo... Calling retirees means they're scraping the bottom now."
"Yes. From active S-rank to top A-rank masseuses, plus any standouts. All summoned."
"Desperate, huh... Good."
This level, I could go all-in.
Of course, affection matters, so no 'strip or no deal' bullshit.
Keep some boundaries.
"Yes. Here's the compiled data—check for details."
"Thanks. Anything else notable?"
"Miss Ellis masturbated last night calling your name, Lee Ho-yeon. Way more intense than yesterday. Got video—want it?"
"Uh... thanks. Send it."
Could probably just say massage and shove it in.
Of course, bad strategy.
"Good work. Wanna stick around till Lilia wakes?"
"Yes! I'd be grateful!"
"Breakfast?"
"Not yet."
"I'll make some. Wait."
Too much delivery lately—feeling greasy.
Sometimes crave K-home cooking.
They deliver it now, but no soul.
Solo living nostalgia hits sometimes.
Today was one.
"N-no need!"
"It's fine. Why so formal anyway?"
"Ah! Habit from reporting to superiors!"
Scarlett shot up and rubbed her thighs like they itched.
"Kkh."
She's ridiculous.
I checked the fridge.
Last kimchi stew leftovers... gone?
"Where'd it all go?"
This crazy succubus—where'd she put my ingredients?
I went back, grabbed Lilia's nipple as she slept obliviously, and yanked.
"Kyaaak?! Aaang! Wh-what?! Crazy?!"
"Where's my chopped green onions and kimchi?"
"Wasn't eating it anyway, tossed 'em! Tastes bad with chicken! Liar!"
"You little..."
Leave her alone and she reverts to spoiled bitch.
Kimchi chicken's delicious.
Succubi aren't for fixing—they need discipline.
"Come here."
I mounted the laying Lilia, reached down, and yanked her tail.
Knew it was her weak spot.
"Wh-what?! Aaak! Help, Scarlett!"
"L-Lilia...!"
Scarlett climbed onto the bed, hesitating between us, then met my eyes.
'Side with me here or she punishes you.'
'...!'
Getting it, Scarlett grabbed Lilia's arms and legs.
"Sorry!"
"Kyaaak! Scarlett! You're insane! Aaang! Master! Sorry! I knew you'd pounce if I threw 'em out... haaah!"
"Knew it. You damn succubus. Open wide."
What kinda thought process is this?
"Guhk... slurp. Glurk..."
Morning throatpie for Lilia.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Nam Da-eun left the dorm early Saturday.
Bought her sister festival toys, money tight—had to snag mart sales.
"At least I have a little left."
Buyer Guild's Min-gyu hyung sent extra pocket money for first place.
Not much, but enough for sister's toys. Da-eun was happy.
"See her tomorrow."
What to tell her?
Da-eun's days were routine.
Academy classes morning, dorm rest. Buyer Guild banned part-time—no work. Skipped classes but had to attend till midterms for credits.
Training with Ho-yeon filled time, but no fun stories for sis.
So she made them up.
Cafe with friends, rock-paper-scissors whacks, friend's b-day party. Always racked brain for sister-pleasers.
"Hmm... shampoo. Shampoo..."
Da-eun prowled mart for cheapest essentials.
"Long hair uses it too fast. Cut it?"
1,980 won shampoo in basket, calculated wallet.
'8,600 won... shampoo and soap 2,820... snacks?'
Checked wallet again.
Worn-out, wouldn't close.
"Coins... uh oh... nooo."
*Clink clink clink-*
Coins spilled from mystery hole.
'Space acceleration.'
Used her ability to scoop each one.
But still short.
"Wha-what? Picked 'em all... huh..."
Only 8,500. Counted thrice—100 won gone.
No snack then.
Essentials at rock-bottom—no cuts there.
"Here. Coin rolled far."
A savior voice from behind.
Da-eun whipped around.
Lee Ho-yeon stood there, sheepish smile, hand out.
Two 500-won, one 100-won on palm. Da-eun gulped.
