Chapter 186. Weekend
Thump- Thump- Thump-
A large altar inside a dark building.
Among the devotees in drab-colored robes with their heads bowed stood a man.
He was the boss of Pandemic, Maestro.
"Ahh... soon, our Apostle will descend. The Apostle who will be our light and the flame of hope..."
Step, step—
After finishing his prayer, Maestro stepped out of the magic circle.
It was a red magic circle encircling 100 devotees.
"Your noble sacrifice will make our Pandemic shine even brighter."
The lifeless-eyed devotees only listened to Maestro's words with their heads bowed.
"Begin."
At Maestro's command, the devotees unleashed their mana.
They mobilized all the mana in their bodies to activate the magic circle.
Ripple ripple—
Soon, the magic circle responded.
It began to emit a red light, and the devotees standing on it collapsed one by one.
Thud—
Thud—
Once all 100 devotees had collapsed, black flames erupted and incinerated their corpses.
- ┞┘├╂┷┫┐┩╆┑....
A bizarre sound, as if hell itself was being expressed through sound, echoed out.
It was the screams of the devotees' souls being eternally trapped in hell.
Crackle—
The ashes of the burnt devotees clumped together and began to form something grotesque.
A strange creature, resembling both a man and a horse.
"The Apostle is appearing. Everyone, show respect."
The Pandemic officers outside the magic circle gathered their mana.
They didn't know when the Apostle of Hell might turn on them and attack.
Clop clop.
Click clack.
As the sound of beastly footsteps echoed, the smoke cleared, and a strange creature approached Maestro.
A mythological creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse.
A centaur.
"... Who are you people."
The centaur eyed the humans that had suddenly appeared with suspicion.
"Apostle. To spread the flames of hell into the human world... we have summoned you."
Maestro waved his hand.
The officers around him lowered their mana and bowed their heads. A gesture of non-hostility.
The summoning had succeeded properly.
They had summoned an Apostle capable of communication.
For a creature of hell, it was natural to crave humans.
As long as communication was possible, it could be easily controlled through his power.
That's why Maestro smiled and approached the centaur.
But contrary to Maestro's expectations, the centaur frowned in annoyance.
"Sigh...."
A mercenary badge with an "F" was attached to the centaur's clothing.
Slurp—slurp—
I was still bound by magical ropes.
Between my legs, Nam Daeun was kneeling, sucking my dick, with Liliana behind her giving enthusiastic guidance.
"You need to use more tongue there. Just stimulating the tip makes it harder to cum."
"Slurp... okay."
"...Sigh."
What the hell is happening.
Nam Daeun's blowjob was unusual.
Despite her good technique, there was an air of freshness and shyness.
It felt like her hardware and software were mismatched.
Of course, it felt good.
Having a pretty girl give you a blowjob for the first time—it's a joy any man would welcome.
Tingle—
But it was still frustrating.
My limbs were bound by magical ropes, so I couldn't move.
Some might say, what's the problem if you're just lying back getting pleasure? But when there's a hole, a guy wants to put it in, and once it's in, he wants to move his hips. That's instinct.
No matter how much I squirmed, the magical ropes showed no sign of loosening.
"Hey. Liliana. Let me go. I won't resist."
I tried asking Liliana, who was issuing commands enthusiastically from behind.
I didn't think she'd agree, but it was worth a shot.
"Nope. You'll scold me."
"... So are we going to stay like this forever?"
"I'll release it when you're feeling good enough to forget about it. Hehe."
"..."
I stared blankly at Liliana, who giggled with a silly grin.
She's cute, but seriously annoying.
Slurp—
Nam Daeun continued sucking my dick.
No matter how talented she was, she couldn't make me cum instantly.
It was frustrating, and there was another problem.
If I only received, I wouldn't make any progress in the capture.
"Hoo."
Tingle—
After a deep breath, I activated my mana circuit that had been enduring pain and squeezing out mana.
I'd recovered quite a bit, so I figured it might work.
Fortunately, as long as I could endure the prickling pain like getting stabbed by thorns, I could squeeze out mana.
Just a tiny amount of mana... but it was enough.
Because there was a contract between Liliana and me.
As per the contract engraved on our souls, Liliana had to obey my command.
"Liliana. Release all of this."
Shhh—
The moment I spoke, the magical ropes binding my limbs unraveled.
"Huh?"
She looked shocked herself.
Well, I hadn't used a forceful command lately.
I hadn't needed to, since she was behaving and our relationship was stable. But if she acts like this, I've got no choice.
"I told you to release it."
"Oh. Uh? Sorry! Forgive me!"
As I frowned, Liliana let out a startled squeal and covered her face with her hands.
You'd think I was about to hit her.
"It's fine. I'm not mad."
Right now, the important one isn't this succubus.
It's Nam Daeun, staring up at me from between my legs.
★ Heroine Status Window
[Nam Daeun]
- [ Affection: 86 ]
- [ Lust: 45 ]
- [ Appetite: 35 ]
- [ Fatigue: 58 ]
Current Status: Why did it come undone? She said it definitely wouldn't...
No doubt Liliana had boasted to her to just trust her.
'Still, doing it this suddenly isn't right.'
This feels like rape.
Just yesterday, she was bringing flowers to my hospital room. Now she's changed overnight.
"Daeun. Why did you suddenly do this?"
"... Liliana said you'd definitely like it if I did this."
"So she's the root of all evil."
"You liked it too!"
Ignoring Liliana's shouting from the side, I moved my limbs around freely.
Nam Daeun was still sitting between my legs, but she'd stopped sucking, sensing the shift in mood.
She just looked into my eyes.
She seemed lost, not knowing what to do now that the plan had gone awry.
'Lust is 45...'
She practiced sex for my sake, but she herself didn't seem interested in it.
That's not right.
This was why I forced the magical ropes off.
I wasn't the one being captured—she was supposed to be.
"If you felt uncomfortable, I'm sorry."
Nam Daeun lowered her head.
She must have thought I was upset.
"No, I'm not mad. But... you're doing this to repay me, aren't you? Right?"
"Yeah."
Actually, I liked it.
Especially that desire to repay—it was very admirable.
But sometimes, giving pleasure is more fun than receiving it.
Especially if it's a girl's first time.
Nam Daeun blinked, waiting for my next words.
"Then... how about taking off your clothes first?"
"All of them?"
"Yeah."
If it's a thank-you, then that much is expected.

Tap. Tap tap.
Moon Surin was typing on a keyboard in the student council president's office.
Between personal investigations and a backlog of work, she hadn't had time for herself.
"Finally finished..."
Phew.
After wrapping everything up, she sank into her chair and checked her smartwatch.
"...Why hasn't he contacted me at all?"
She hadn't visited Lee Hoyeon in the hospital due to work, yet he hadn't contacted her.
Sure, it was her fault for mismanaging her schedule, but she had investigated for his sake, so she felt a bit hurt.
"He must be in a lot of pain. The Saintess is even personally caring for him..."
The Saintess.
Thinking of Baek A-Young, Moon Surin frowned.
'She's older, yet hitting on a student? Ridiculous.'
Knock knock—
Just as she was wondering how to push out such a strong rival, someone knocked on the door.
"Yes. Come in."
The person who entered was a researcher from the Academy.
In his hand was a small brooch.
A luxurious purple brooch, tainted with black magic energy, undulating ominously.
The demon with the skull mask who attacked Lee Hoyeon.
Moon Surin wanted to track down those who had threatened Lee Hoyeon.
She'd continued investigating through personal contacts, but with so little evidence, there had been no clear results.
In the end, while investigating the party hall herself to find any clues they left behind, she discovered that brooch.
It didn't seem like something from the demons—it looked like a human item that had been corrupted, so she had it analyzed, and now the results were finally out.
"What's the result?"
"We compared it with everyone at the party that day and found one perfect match."
"...Who is it?"
She hadn't expected to actually get a result.
Moon Surin tensed and waited for the researcher's answer.
"Shin Dongmin. From the Shinyoung Guild."
The moment she heard the familiar name, anger flared within Moon Surin—but she calmed herself, as the researcher was watching.
She didn't want to show a disgraceful side in front of others.
"...Thank you. You've worked hard."
"Yes. Then I'll take my leave."
The researcher bowed and left the student council office.
Grit.
Moon Surin clenched her teeth and stared into the air.
"So it was you. Shin Dongmin..."
He had constantly interfered with her, lost to Lee Hoyeon, and now had even turned to the demons.
She didn't care if he targeted her.
She'd let him be since the Shinyoung Guild had a troublesome backing, but now he'd touched something he shouldn't have.
"I won't forgive you for touching Hoyeon. Never. Never..."
Moon Surin canceled her hospital visit plans.
She really wanted to see Lee Hoyeon today.
She had finished all her backlog and completed her investigation.
It was disappointing to think other rivals might spend time with him, but protecting him when he's unwell was more important.
'I have to do it.'
And maybe, Lee Hoyeon getting involved with Shin Dongmin was her fault to begin with.
One must reap what they sow.
Moon Surin pulled out her smartwatch and began contacting someone.
