"I LOVE YOU, JACOB~"
"I LOVE YOU, JACOB~"
Lilith mutters under her breath as she returns to eating her food, her face flushing at the same time. She tilts her head left and right while continuing to mumble those words softly to herself.
"Jacob~ how many kids do you want?" Lilith suddenly asks as she eats the last bite of her steak, and I nearly choke on my food.
There's a crazy look on her face that tells me she absolutely means what she's saying. That expression alone makes cold sweat form on my forehead.
"Jacob~" she calls again, lightly tapping the bottom of her fork against the table while still staring at me with that strange expression.
"We can't talk about kids right now, Lilith, for many reasons. The first is that we're still a young couple and we haven't even gotten married yet. The second is that I want us to achieve a lot of things before bringing innocent children into this world. I don't want my children to suffer the way I did," I say, hoping my words will change the mind of this crazy succubus.
Her expression suddenly shifts.
"I see… I'm sorry for mentioning that. I was just too excited about you accepting to marry me. I also don't want our children to suffer like I did. I'm sorry for bringing it up," Lilith says, bowing her head slightly in a sincere manner.
"Haa, it's fine, Lilith. You don't have to apologize. I also like children, but I wouldn't want to bring one into this world without proper plans."
"So… what's your plan now, Jacob?"
I pause for a moment after hearing Lilith's question. I actually do have a plan—one I hope to start working on soon. Maybe this is the turning point.
"Ahem, you see… I want to become a pornstar," I say, and Lilith's expression changes. She doesn't look annoyed—just serious.
"The sole reason I left the factory job was because I wanted to chase my career as a pornstar. If that's what I have at my disposal, then I'll make good use of it and become the best. It's just that I still have limited knowledge about these things. Even though I did a lot of research on the internet, reality is different. That's why I said I think you were rushing things with me, because I'm not sure you'd want to walk that path with me," I say, letting out a sigh.
Lilith seems to understand as she also sighs, looking down at the table. But suddenly she raises her head again with a bright smile on her face.
"If that's what you want to do, then I'll support you as your fiancee. I'll support you in any way I can, as long as you don't ask me to mate with any other person," she says, the last part carrying a hint of seriousness.
"Wait? You mean you'll support me?!" I say excitedly, but my excitement quickly fades.
"I'm sorry, but I can't be exclusive to only you. I don't want to hurt you. I'm not someone who can be loyal to just one person," I reveal.
Silence settles over the restaurant as Lilith looks at me while I lower my head, unable to meet her eyes.
Better to tell her the truth. I can't let love cloud my judgment. If I want to become a big-shot pornstar, I'll have to be involved with multiple girls.
"You're such a jerk, Jacob~"
Ah, here we go.
"I already told you I don't care if you marry other women. No matter how much I tell you how I feel about you, you never seem to believe me. Maybe it's because I'm a succubus. I know we have a bad reputation b-but I'm not that type of girl—sniff~"
"W-Wait, I think you're making a mistake here. I mean—"
"It's fine. I actually don't care if you want to be intimate with other girls. All I want is to be loved the most by you. I love you, Jacob. To prove my words, how about I form an exclusive contract with you?" Lilith says, grabbing my hands and looking at me with teary eyes.
"I… don't get it. What exclusive contract?"
"You're right about not knowing much about the System Class. You act as if you weren't even born in this world. I'll explain it to you."
"Our system is basically a tailored tool and not just a burden. We can use it to do many things such as controlling Mana, casting magic, and forming contracts. Its usefulness goes even further than that, because the more you level up your class, the more skilled you become with it. So right now, I want you to tell me your Class ID. I'll send a contract to you. All you have to do is accept it," Lilith explains.
Even though I don't fully understand everything she just said—since I'm still fucking new to this world—I give her my Class ID anyway.
