The Contract (2)
"Down!"
"Eek...!"
Scarlet dropped to the floor like a dog at Liliana's command.
"Ohhh, she's wearing a dog collar so she actually turned into a dog. That's so cooool."
"Th-this is completely absurd.... The contract — the contract is..."
"Looks like our Miss Scarlet didn't read the contract properly."
I pulled out my copy and pointed to each clause right in front of her face.
The moment Party B, Scarlet, harbors any thought of betraying Party A, Lee Ho-yeon, a collar restricting her mana and power shall be fastened upon Party B.
Party B, Scarlet, cannot commit any hostile act against Party A, Lee Ho-yeon.
The moment the collar is fastened, Party B, Scarlet, shall obey the commands of Party A, Lee Ho-yeon, and Party C, Liliana.
"This... how is a scam contract like this even allowed?!"
"If you've got a problem with it, maybe you should've read more carefully. Well, the copy I gave you didn't have these clauses, of course... but there are contracts in this world where each side's version says something different."
"Th-this is.... an invalid contract..."
Scarlet's whole body trembled as she stared holes through the contract I'd held out. But a contract already sealed by absorbing her mana wasn't about to change now.
How's a taste of Hell? Hot, isn't it?
"Alright... then if you've got any information you're hiding, spit it all out."
"Th-there isn't any. There's really nothing..."
She didn't seem to be lying. She probably just didn't know much to begin with. Investigating me wouldn't have required her to learn the circumstances behind any of it.
"So you really were going to film me just to blackmail me?"
"Y-yes. As far as I know..."
"Hmm..."
That didn't feel right at all. Elise's personality could have changed from the original, of course... but if I started thinking that way, there would be no end to it. Every piece of information I had would become garbage.
At least so far, everything I knew had proven useful. It was still too early for any butterfly effect to have taken hold. Meaning there was definitely more to this. Scarlet just didn't know about it.
"You really told me everything?"
"That's right. I told you everything. Please, just let me live."
Scarlet kept flinching every time she glanced at Liliana. The little eek that escaped her whenever Liliana's tail swayed said the trauma had been planted nice and deep.
Didn't seem like there was any more information to dig out of her. I might as well just have her investigate Elise.
No. I can't leave it at that.
I'd lost a bet over this, after all. Which meant dinner was going to be whatever Liliana felt like ordering.
I crossed my arms and gave Scarlet a suspicious look.
"No. You're definitely hiding something."
"I-it's the truth! There's really nothing...!"
"Liliana. Extract the information."
"Kay. C'mere, Scout."
"I-it's Scarlet, not Scout...! Hhk, aahh..."
I left Scarlet to Liliana — partly so she could pay the price for thinking of betrayal. She'd be a lot more obedient once the lesson was over.
I sank into the sofa and woke my smartwatch. After sending the heroines a few check-in texts asking if they were alright, I pulled up the campus forum to see how people were reacting. Among the posts, I tapped the one with the most upvotes.
Pandemic carried out a terror attack during the Celestial Festival (still under investigation, but they're saying it's almost certainly Pandemic. Reasons below.)
After drawing attention with an explosion, Fiends disguised as security forces attacked civilians.
But thanks to Professor Lim Sol's quick response, there were plenty of injuries and zero fatalities.
Professors who'd been enjoying the festival joined in, subdued all the Fiends, and were clearing the scene when the Hall of Fame suddenly collapsed.
It was Cadet Lee Ho-yeon who brought the Hall of Fame down.
The reason: a terror magic circle had been installed in the Hall of Fame — one that used artifacts as sacrifices — so he destroyed every artifact there. (The magic professors on-site confirmed this.)
And one of Pandemic's executives was captured alive.
No civilian casualties, but the property damage is enormous. Restoring the Hall of Fame alone will apparently take dozens of professor-level mages more than a week of nonstop work.
But if Cadet Lee Ho-yeon hadn't stopped it in advance, a massive explosion centered on the Hall of Fame would have caught most of the people at the Celestial Festival. Because he destroyed the artifacts first, it ended as a small blast.
I was at the Celestial Festival too and it was terrifying. Everything exploded out of nowhere and everyone panicked, but somehow not a single person died. Crazy. lmao
"Hmm..."
A few weirdos aside, public opinion was decent. People never stopped complaining about the academy's security, but in this world the entire planet was exposed to Pandemic's terror attacks. No matter how hard you tried to keep them out, they found a way in. Security was just one of those problems you couldn't solve.
That was when a soft hand slid onto my thigh.
"Liliana?"
"Playing with Scarlet got me all worked up... nnh."
Wet, obscene sounds drifted up from the floor.
Scarlet was lying on her back with Liliana on top of her. Liliana's tail was buried in her pussy, and Scarlet's mouth was working diligently between Liliana's legs. Watching her flick her tongue without a shred of resistance, lost to the pleasure... I almost felt sorry for her.
...
Still. It was turning me on. Blood rushed straight to my groin.
"Hah... Master...?"
Liliana hooked her fingers around my zipper and looked up at me, asking permission with her eyes.
"Do whatever you want."
"Yeees~ ...mmph. Schlick..."
Liliana kept grinding her pussy against Scarlet's mouth as she wrapped her lips around my cock.
"Haaahn... ahh... so good!"
"Lick. Lick."
"Hoo..."
Worked up past the point of the sofa, we moved to the bed. Liliana rocked her hips back and forth on top of me, and Scarlet, under Liliana's orders, was licking her way across my body.
Liliana's first suggestion had been for me to take her from behind while Scarlet licked me from behind — I'd turned that down. I'd seen Scarlet's pupils trembling all over the place, and I hadn't fallen quite that far yet. What we settled on instead was having Scarlet make me feel even better while I was inside Liliana... and it was definitely working. Two beautiful women would make anything more fun to look at.
Scarlet had been reluctant at first, but after Liliana's tail had fucked her pussy a few more times she finally started licking. Not that her body could have refused anyway.
"Hah, haah... nnhh. Chup..."
Liliana bent down and kissed me. She looked close. Her tongue pushed deep into my mouth, licking the roof and my teeth, sucking up my saliva. I moved my tongue to match her, and when I sent my own spit back she swallowed it like it tasted good.
Scarlet, who had been licking my chest, switched places the moment Liliana leaned in and dropped down between my legs.
"Chup..."
"Nnh..."
Scarlet carefully began licking my balls. An unfamiliar sensation — awkward, but not bad — wrapped around my body. Mid-kiss, mid-fuck with Liliana, the sudden extra pleasure shoved me right up against the edge.
"I'm gonna cum...!"
"Hah, yes. Yeees...♡"
Liliana licked the side of my neck and slammed her hips down. I pulled her soft back against me and started to come.
Spurt—spurt—
"Haah, ahh... nnh..."
She'd hit her own climax, but she kept rolling her hips even as she frowned, determined to ride me through it. And through all of that, the tail thrusting into Scarlet's pussy never stopped. Scarlet pulled away for a moment and rubbed her own clit, masturbating herself over the edge.
"Haahh... Master... did that feel good?"
"Yeah. It's always you, Liliana."
"Hehe... huh?"
Liliana lifted her hips, slid off my cock, and brought it to her mouth to clean it. Then her eyes went wide. My balls had a sheen on them that wasn't love juices.
"S-Scarlet! You did that?"
"H-hhah... y-yes. I-I did it."
"I was supposed to do that first! Aahh!"
"Haaaaahn! Aaaahn!"
Whatever had her so furious, Liliana drove her tail even deeper into Scarlet's pussy. After tormenting her for a while, she looked back at my cock with wounded eyes.
"Nnh... Master's balls got stolen from me. I have to take them back."
She stroked them once, then opened her mouth wide and wrapped the whole of it around them.
"Hey, wait a sec. Ngh."
Liliana's tongue and mouth began carefully rolling my balls around. Thick, sticky saliva filled her mouth and soaked them, sending a strange pleasure twitching all the way up my spine.
At the same time, she wrapped her hand around my cock — still slick with a mix of her juices and my cum — and started stroking. The more of that sticky fluid there was, the better it felt.
"Kh..."
A handjob from someone else was usually worse than doing it myself. Not Liliana's. Being a succubus, she knew every spot that felt good and moved with exactly the right pressure and speed. Combined with that unfamiliar sensation on my balls, I could feel another orgasm building from somewhere deep inside.
"Hahp. Hah. Chup. Master... are you close?"
"Yeah...!"
Liliana pulled her mouth off my balls and opened it in front of my cockhead, then sped up the hand still wrapped around me. I dropped my hands and grabbed her breasts, chasing every last bit of the pleasure. Soft flesh filled my palms, and I could clearly feel the hard buds of her nipples against my skin. I focused on the feeling in my hands and in my cock and let her work.
Spurt—
Cum leapt from the head, and Liliana let go with her hand at once and covered me with her mouth.
Gulp. Gulp.
The instant it came out, it went straight down her throat. She squeezed me between her lips and her cheeks and sucked hard, and it felt like she was wringing out every last drop. Even after I finished, she cleaned my cock thoroughly before she finally pulled off.
"Thanks for the meal."
"Good girl, Liliana."
"Heheh... that's a succubus for you."
Liliana's succubus confidence had clearly gone up a notch. I pulled her into my arms and rode out the afterglow.
Scarlet was kneeling in the corner. Liliana had made her get on her knees earlier, calling her a sneaky cat.
After a few minutes of enjoying Liliana's chest through the haze, I got up and walked over to Scarlet.
"Scarlet. Find out why Elise is investigating me. If you don't do it properly, Liliana will punish you again."
"... Y-yes. I understand."
"That's not how you do it, dummy."
"Hm?"
Liliana cut in between us.
"Scarlet. If you investigate Elise properly, I'll give you a reward. But if you don't get real results, no more rewards. Got it?"
"Yes. Yes! I'll definitely get results...!"
"..."
Leave it to a succubus to know how to torture someone.
Thursday night, the same day the terror attack hit Victoria Academy.
Pandemic was in the middle of a meeting.
"Gill Stephen, captured alive... I never would have imagined."
At the head of a darkened round table, Maestro tilted his head. There was no grief in him at the news that a subordinate had fallen — only the mild regret of a man who had lost a single chess piece. The other executives were no different. Not one of them showed any feeling at all over Gill Stephen's capture.
The meeting proceeded as it always did, under Maestro's direction, and tonight's agenda was Victoria Academy.
"As for which executive to send to Victoria Academy in Gill Stephen's place... hmm. Who shall it be."
Maestro tapped the armrest of his chair and looked around the table. Most of them already had assignments, or personalities that simply didn't fit Victoria Academy. Finding the cracks you needed to stage a terror attack was not a job you could hand to just anyone. And with the academy's security tightening lately, he couldn't afford to send just anyone.
"I'll go."
A red-haired woman raised her hand into Maestro's hesitation.
"Oh, Rebecca? This is the first time you've stepped forward on your own. Very well. You'll go."
Rebecca's barrier abilities would help with infiltration, and her combat strength was more than enough to trust her with the mission.
"Yes... I will see it through."
Rebecca bowed her head and smiled.
