"S-sorry, Master. I'm s-sorry... Hah. Hauk... Scarlett. Stop...!"
*lick lick*.
While Lilia rubbed my cock against her lips, Scarlett diligently pleasured her with her tongue.
"Ah, th-that's... Ahk. Suck... Slurp... ."
Maybe sensing my semen rising as my cock twitched, Lilia took my glans into her mouth and sucked on it greedily.
I groped one of her breasts with one hand while ejaculating into her mouth.
"Mmph, mmf... Slurp. Gulp. Schlop, kch... ."
I emptied every last drop down her throat, then stirred inside her mouth for cleanup.
Savoring the texture of the inside of her mouth, I pulled my cock out and got up from the bed.
I didn't want to go all the way since that would mean giving Lilia exactly what she wanted.
"I'm going grocery shopping, so you two have fun."
"H-hiiik... What am I supposed to do if you leave like this?"
Scarlett's eyes widened in shock at me—the one she trusted—leaving, and she grabbed at me.
But Lilia clamped down hard on Scarlett's breasts.
"Scarlett. Come here. How dare you betray me?"
"Y-yes♡"
She's enjoying it, so what can you do.
"Have fun, you two."
"Haaang, haa... Haaak."
"After all I've done for you! You wicked bitch!"
I watched Lilia and Scarlett roll around for a bit before leaving the room.
I grabbed my clothes in the living room, got dressed, and replied to Ellis.
- Me: Sorry. Just saw it. Let me know a good time, and I'll make it work.
I wondered if Ellis knew her spy was doing all that in my room.
But Scarlett hanging around our place for so long was probably fine since her job was to monitor me anyway—she could probably bluff her way through it.
I left the dorm and headed to the nearby mart.
I'd had kimchi stew last time, so pork stir-fry it was.
Scarlett had been around a few times now, and I'd grown a bit fond of her.
She was a bad girl trying to betray me, but she had her sweet side too. And her stupidity was kind of cute.
Plus, she'd brought a ton of good info, so the least I could do was feed her something tasty.
These days, you could find any recipe online, so I could just follow one.
The mart was pretty empty since it was still morning.
I grabbed some pork and sauce, then tossed in some instant rice.
As I headed to the vegetable aisle, a familiar ponytail caught my eye.
"Nam Da-eun?"
She's at the mart again today, huh.
She'd probably been banned from leaving the dorm until yesterday, so she was stocking up all at once.
Nam Da-eun tossed a shampoo bottle marked "Super Sale" into her basket, then stared at the price tag, deep in thought.
★ HEROINE STATUS ★ [Nam Da-eun] Favorability: 50 Lust: 17 Appetite: 44 Fatigue: 36 Current Status: Buying the 1,980 won shampoo... If soap is 840 won and snacks too, how much will it be...? She's still living so frugally.
I wanted to sponsor her or something, but she was in no position to accept that, so there was no way to help.
I couldn't just shove money at her either.
And why was her wallet so beat-up?
*Clink clink-*
Right then, coins spilled out of Nam Da-eun's wallet in a cascade.
Dozens of them scattered everywhere, and one 100-won coin rolled right to my feet.
I picked up the coins and looked at Nam Da-eun. She was using Spatial Control to gather them.
"..."
I pulled out my wallet.
I didn't usually carry coins, so I only had two 500-won ones.
Give her too many and it'd be obvious, so I'd just slip these in casually.
"Here. One rolled pretty far."
I approached Nam Da-eun, who was counting her coins, and spoke up.
She whipped her head around before I even finished.
"Th-thanks."
She saw the coins in my hand, met my eyes, blushed, and took them.
Good thing she hadn't counted exactly how much she had.
With that many coins, it was believable enough.
"Long time no see. Heading to see your sister?"
Her basket had the same snacks she'd bought last time for her sister visit.
"Yeah. Tomorrow."
"What'd you do after Survival ended and during the festival?"
"Just... trained and rested."
Oh, she's actually training properly.
Great progress.
Last time, she wanted to spar with me. Should I bring it up?
"Wanna spar on Sunday then?"
"Th-that's okay?"
"Of course. Can't friends do that much? Consider it payback for the special exam last time."
Being able to chat casually with Nam Da-eun like this was definitely encouraging.
It'd help a lot with conquering her later.
I was planning to hit the training grounds anyway, so why not spar while I'm at it.
I chatted with Nam Da-eun a bit more, exchanged numbers, and parted ways.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ "Haa..."
Nam Da-eun trudged back to her dorm.
She was glad she had one more snack for her sister tomorrow, but honestly, she was embarrassed.
Because Lee Ho-yeon's face as he handed over those two 500-won coins was still vivid.
"So embarrassing."
I could understand where he was coming from.
He probably pitied me for not even being able to buy shampoo freely and slipped in some spare change.
Still, embarrassing was embarrassing.
"...Maybe those two 500-won coins were just lying on the floor?"
It wasn't impossible.
He might've picked up some random coins off the ground without thinking and assumed they were mine.
"...Who knows."
*Ding-*
Back at the dorm, Nam Da-eun sat at her desk and opened her notebook.
To brainstorm stories for her sister.
"Still, I talked with Lee Ho-yeon today... So I can tell her about running into a friend at the mart while shopping... and sparring with that friend."
Nam Da-eun scribbled away diligently, crafting her story.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Back at the dorm, I watched Home Meal Teacher videos and whipped up some pork stir-fry.
"It's not something you eat anytime. K-home cooking you can only have when the homeowner feels like it."
"W-wow..."
*Clap clap*.
Scarlett glanced at me nervously and started clapping.
"If I keep accepting her bullshit, it'll never end... Kyaaak!"
I smacked Lilia on the head for her weird noises—unlike Scarlett—and we ate together.
"Oh, delicious. Home Meal Teacher delivers again."
"It's good... Ho-yeon, you're great at cooking."
"Just following instructions—what's cooking about it."
Lilia grumbled pointlessly, stabbing at the pork with her chopsticks.
"Then you make some. Don't succubi have to be good at housework?"
"Chicken's tastier—why should I cook! Just give me money for chicken! And this pork cost your money anyway, right?"
"...Eat up, Lilia."
Being the head of the household without financial power is tough.
But I had bedroom dominance, so I'd endure with that.
I'll get revenge tonight.
I activated my smart watch with grim plans brewing.
They say it's rude to look at your phone while eating, but no one here to call me out on manners.
"No new info."
The terror investigation seemed to be handled internally by the academy now.
The other posts were humor, chit-chat, celeb pics.
"What's this?"
But one post caught my eye.
📰 Suspicious Post [The Truth Lee Ho-yeon is Hiding]
The media is trying to cover up Lee Ho-yeon's mistake in destroying the Honor Hall and is even praising him instead. 1. No verification of the magic circle supposedly installed in the Honor Hall. 2. A magic circle that converts artifacts to mana isn't powerful enough to cause an explosion. 3. Can't believe a single cadet stopped a pandemic executive-led terror magic circle and captured the executive alive. 4. The media, vested interests, and academy are shifting focus to the rookie's birth to... ... Recommends: 130 Disrecommends: 430 "What the hell are these idiots."
How insecure do you have to be to spread crap like this.
Over 100 recommends is more shocking.
"Hmm... But a few points might need clarifying."
No real reason to explain, but it could fool the truly ignorant.
Like the magic circle stuff.
The magic professors on site had testified, so did I even need to bother...?
"Ah, whatever. I'll ask Soo-rin noona."
We were meeting for dinner later, so I'd ask then.
I turned off the smart watch and picked up my chopsticks again.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ I killed time messing around with Lilia after eating, then left home when her stream time hit.
It lined up perfectly with my meetup with Moon Soo-rin.
I arrived at the now-familiar Punmi House.
"Welcome."
"Reservation under Moon Soo-rin."
"Ah, yes, Ms. Moon Soo-rin's party."
We always met at this Punmi House, but the staff always treated me like it was my first time.
High-end restaurant service?
"This way, please."
The staff led me to a second-floor private room.
I pretty much had the layout memorized now—next time, just give me the room number.
*Knock knock*.
"Noona, it's me."
"Yeah. Come in."
Moon Soo-rin looked as stunning as ever after so long. Her platinum straight hair and perfect hip line were beautiful.
Taking off the glasses really brought her looks to life.
Moon Soo-rin closed the video on her smart watch and met my eyes.
"Hey, noona. What were you watching?"
"Huh? Hehe... Just some funny videos."
"Ah, you watch that stuff too. Right, you must've had it rough with the terror."
"Nah. We survived without casualties thanks to you. If anyone had died, just thinking about it is horrifying."
"Aw, what'd I even do."
I sat across from Moon Soo-rin and chatted.
The meal atmosphere was warm and cheerful, her face blooming with smiles.
Wait... why is she so upbeat?
Of course, being happy was good. Seeing Lucy's mentality shatter had hurt me too.
That's why conquering Moon Soo-rin had been such a dilemma.
But this was too weird.
Based on the Every Day candid shot post frequency, her mentality should've been shattered to dust by now...
Was there something I didn't know?
I checked her status window just in case.
★ HEROINE STATUS ★ [Moon Soo-rin] Favorability: 82 Lust: 35 Appetite: 50 Fatigue: 33 Current Status: How to get him to say "I love you"? "...Huh?"
"Hehe, what?"
"N-nothing."
I accidentally let out an exclamation in surprise.
Why was this noona trying to induce me to say "I love you"?
