Chapter 185. Liliana the One-Hit Instructor! (5)
"Lucy. Are you okay?"
"...Yeah."
After visiting Lee Hoyeon at the hospital, Lumi headed straight for Lucy's dorm.
Though Lucy's dorm was closer, Lumi had gone to see Lee Hoyeon first since she needed to go out anyway to buy porridge and medicine.
Lumi took the porridge out of a plastic bag and set it on the desk.
"I brought porridge and medicine, so make sure you eat... I also put an ice pack in the freezer. I'll change it out for you later."
"Thanks, Lumi...."
When the heart breaks, the body breaks too.
Lucy felt that firsthand today.
She had been perfectly healthy, and yet she came down with a fever overnight.
Her headache had persisted since last night, and thinking about Lee Hoyeon and Lumi made her chest ache.
That's why she'd avoided Lumi's messages and ignored Lee Hoyeon's replies... but seeing Lumi skip the academy to take care of her almost brought her to tears.
"Lumi, what about the academy..."
"It's fine. Grades don't matter right now. I'll stay with you."
Lumi held Lucy's hand tightly.
She had really wanted to talk about Lee Hoyeon today, but seeing Lucy's condition, she decided the serious talk could wait.
One shouldn't talk about complicated matters when someone's unwell.
Lucy's health came first.
But that consideration only made things worse for Lucy.
Maybe it would've been easier if Lumi had just brought it up.
Seeing Lumi like this only made Lucy's head hurt more.
Unlike her sister, who always thought of her first, Lucy felt pathetic for being envious over the boy her sister liked.
"Lucy...."
Lumi gently pulled Lucy's hand to her chest.
"Don't... you'll catch it too."
"If I take it, maybe you'll get better. Heh."
Lumi smiled, trying to cheer up the weakened Lucy, but it only made Lucy feel worse.
The twin sisters had different thoughts about the same guy, but neither said anything out loud, out of consideration for the other.
*
Friday afternoon.
I signed out for the weekend to enjoy the final stretch of the week.
But with no plans, I decided to head to the dorm—it was the easy choice.
After all, it was home to two heroines.
Passing by the male dorms without much thought, I suddenly remembered my one and only male friend.
"What's Kim Younghan up to these days."
I wasn't expecting any hospital visits from a guy.
It'd just be nice to bump into him once.
But since I hadn't run into him by the time I reached my door, I guess fate wasn't on my side.
Ding!
A familiar chime rang as the door opened, and I was greeted by an empty dorm.
"Hello?"
Just as I wondered why no one was around, dark mana began to wrap around my body.
It came in stealthily.
"W-What? What is this?!"
Before I could say another word, I was cocooned like a silkworm.
Mana-made ropes wrapped tightly around me.
'Damn it...! Why didn't Combat Sense activate?'
A wave of tension surged through me.
I'd let my guard down in a place I thought was safe, relying too much on Combat Sense.
But the familiar voice that came after and the sight that followed quickly eased my nerves.
The mana binding everything except my limbs began to fade, and the first face I saw was Liliana's.
"Tada~ Long time no see!"
"Liliana... you... Scarlett? And... Nam Daeun?"
Unexpected faces stood in the inner room of the dorm.
Liliana was one thing, but even Scarlett and Nam Daeun were staring at me. This was awkward.
"Hey, what is this... Sigh. Let me go. Where's Dahee?"
"She's asleep. This isn't exactly a scene for kids."
"Wait, what are you even planning?"
The mana restraining my limbs felt all too familiar.
This uneasy feeling.
It reminded me of Liliana's rampage.
Right after the survival exam, she pounced on me.
At least back then, I hadn't seen her for a week. But what's the excuse this time? I'm clearly fine.
"You're going to be our sex-ed model."
I stared at Liliana, confused. She just smiled and nodded.
"...?"
"Come here, Daeun."
Nam Daeun, who had been hiding behind, stepped toward me hesitantly.
Sex education.
Only now did I realize what that meant.
"Hey, wait. Don't. Stop!"
Still recovering, I had no strength to resist Liliana's mana bindings.
Last time, Liliana overpowered the contract. This time, I was just too weak to resist.
Damn infernal contracts.
These bitches are seriously insane.
"Why? You like it too."
I could tell from Liliana's eyes.
There was no turning back.
Once she's like that, there's no stopping her.
"No, wait—Scarlett! Scarlett, help me! You can't go along with this!"
I shouted at Scarlett, who was just watching from the side.
She was my last hope.
At least she had to listen to me.
Our contract explicitly stated she had to obey my orders.
"...I'm sorry."
"No! You have to obey me!"
"Don't you remember? From that bet—Scout obeys me first."
"You fucking..."
Right.
That dumb bet about who would betray who first. I gave her away like a toy.
So now, Liliana was Scarlett's top authority, not me.
"Okay, pull his pants down."
"Yes."
"No, no! Daeun—wait. Snap out of it."
This wasn't right.
This wasn't how I planned to approach Nam Daeun.
I wanted the dark revenge and bonding-with-her-sister route, not sex out of nowhere.
But what she said next gave me pause.
"...Do you not like this? I practiced because you said you liked it...."
"...."
I was speechless.
Daeun's usually blank expression was showing the tiniest cracks.
Just that one sentence held a strange power that made it hard to say no.
This was Nam Daeun.
The tragic heroine who slaughtered a guild and killed herself to protect her sister's purity.
And now she was telling me she practiced sex... for me.
★ Heroine Status Window.
[ Nam Daeun ]
- [ Affection: 85 ]
- [ Lust: 30 ]
- [ Hunger: 35 ]
- [ Fatigue: 58 ]
Current status: You said you liked it... but why do you hate it? Is it because it's me...?
'...This isn't good.'
I checked the status and made my decision.
It was too late to back out now.
Things had gone completely off-plan, and rejecting her now wouldn't solve anything.
I was bound. There was no refusing.
If I pissed them off now, I'd lose both Liliana and Daeun's affection.
Just another day in the protagonist's cursed life.
I was annoyed at Liliana and Scarlett, but what could I do? The moment had come.
It's not like things ever went according to plan anyway.
It was always a mess.
I looked into Daeun's eyes.
She looked scared that I'd reject her.
If she used to be emotionally broken, now she seemed like a real woman.
And a girl like her practiced sex just for me... how could I say no?
Getting aroused in this situation was just natural male instinct.
"No... I like it."
"Thank goodness...."
Relieved, Daeun let out a soft breath. Behind her, Liliana encouraged her.
"See? Don't worry. Go ahead and pull down his pants."
"...Liliana, we need to talk later."
"Huh? What do you mean, Master?"
Liliana blinked innocently, but that wasn't going to work on me.
"Too late to act cute now."
I'd deal with this crazy succubus later. For now, it was Daeun's moment.
Blushing, Daeun hesitantly pulled down my pants.
She was clearly inexperienced.
Probably goaded by that perverted succubus, saying it's what I liked.
She stared at my underwear and gulped.
I wasn't fully hard, but having a girl's face so close made it grow.
Daeun's reaction was pure virgin curiosity.
With a girl seeing a guy's dick for the first time... how could I not get turned on?
"Once you pull it down, the dick will come out. Just do what I told you."
"...."
I stayed quiet despite Liliana's commentary.
Saying something weird might freak Daeun out.
Daeun, hands trembling, pulled down my underwear.
My cock popped out in front of her face, and her eyes widened.
"T-This is..."
"Yep. Just like I told you. You remember, right?"
Liliana patted Daeun's back as she stammered.
Like a coach prepping an Olympic athlete.
"...Yes."
Encouraged by Liliana, Daeun took hold of my cock.
The cold touch made me even harder.
Bringing her face close, Daeun kissed the tip.
Smooch.
"...Thanks for the meal. Haup."
"Kuh...."
Then her small mouth wrapped around it.
Suck—
Familiar lips and tongue movements.
Just like Liliana's fellatio.
As I twitched under the mana chains, I realized one thing:
Just like with Im Sol, and now Nam Daeun...
Geniuses are good at sex too.
