Chapter 142. Contract
Contract of Hell.
It's the same item I saw when I first made a contract with Liliana.
It's a little different from the Hell's Bastard Contract, but it was nearly identical.
And yet, it came out from Gil Steven, a high-ranking member of Pandemic.
'Hell... Was it actually an important concept in this world?'
What kind of relationship is there between Pandemic and Hell?
Pandemic is an organization created by Maestro, the boss, to summon the Demon King.
A lunatic who genuinely wishes for humanity's extinction, and has the power to back it up—a true villain.
From the perspective of a player playing the game, it's impossible to know much about Maestro's motivations.
All we know is that his goal is to wipe out the human race from Earth.
Even in the original story, there was no mention of any connection between Pandemic and Hell.
That's why I was so surprised when I first saw Liliana.
I didn't even know there was a "Hell" setting in this game.
'What kind of connection does Pandemic have with Hell... Huh?'
At that moment, a line of dialogue flashed through my mind.
It was a brief bit of dialogue that passed quickly, but it was definitely in the game.
[When the Demon King descends, you too will know what Hell is.]
A line that came out during a fight with one of Pandemic's core members.
Since the story was never told from Pandemic's perspective, players had very little information about the Demon King.
We just assumed there would be a final boss.
Thinking back now, maybe the Demon King really is from Hell.
If they're summoning a Demon King from another world, it makes sense that a sacrifice would be needed.
This Contract of Hell is the proof.
Somehow, the distant and unknown realm of Hell is in communication with the evil group Pandemic.
A core member had an item from Hell.
'Would Liliana know something about the Demon King?'
The problem is whether the Hell Liliana came from is the same Hell the Demon King comes from.
I really hope she knows.
Even if she was just a shut-in who only played games, if the Demon King is famous, she'd have heard of him.
Maybe that would make it easier to take him down.
Shff-
I slipped the contract into my pocket and headed back to the dormitory.
*
Ding-
The way back to the dorm was a mess.
Due to the aftermath of the terror attack, the Heavenly Festival that was supposed to last until Sunday would probably end today.
Starting tomorrow, everyone would be busy with investigations into the attack, interrogating Gil Steven, and recovery efforts.
Today is Thursday. Anyway, since there won't be classes this week, that works out for me.
I entered the dorm—and then, I started to hear sounds I shouldn't be hearing from my room.
"Hnnngh! Khuup, uuuuhng...!"
"Oh... You like it here? Even though we're both girls, you're really different from me."
"Mmph! Huguumph!"
"...?"
Hopping on one foot, I took off my shoes and stepped into the living room.
What unfolded before me was a scene I couldn't have imagined.
"You like it here too?"
"Hnnnngh!"
"What about here?"
"Mmph♥ Nyuhumph!"
"Weird. You seem to like it everywhere."
Liliana was fucking the blonde stalker's pussy, who was tied up with my mana rope, her legs spread wide.
Using her own tail, no less.
Her soft tail was buried in her pussy, and love juices were gushing out like a faucet.
"...."
"Oh, you're back?"
Even when she saw me, Liliana casually kept thrusting her tail into the girl's pussy.
"Mmmph! Mmmmmmph!"
On the other hand, the blonde stalker started moaning even more desperately once she noticed me.
"Liliana... What are you doing?"
"I was experimenting with her body, for when we have sex with another girl in the future. She's so well-behaved now~ Not resisting at all."
"Mmph...! Hmph. Hnnnngh...!"
"...It looks like she's begging for her life, to me."
"Really? I don't think so. She definitely likes it."
The blonde stalker's eyes had definitely softened.
The killing intent and sharp glare she had earlier were gone, leaving only the eyes of a fragile herbivore.
"Now that I see it, you're a natural at torture. I guess it's true that succubi are good at it."
Well, only with women.
"Right?! I finally got recognized!"
Liliana, thrilled for some reason, threw her arms up in celebration, then pulled her tail out from the blonde's pussy and wiped off the love juice on her belly.
Seeing the stalker, drenched in sweat and love juice, her face bright red, I did feel a little sorry for her.
"...I covered her mouth in case it got noisy, but I guess we can open it now."
I tweaked the magic circle a bit to release the seal on the blonde stalker's mouth.
"Please save me. Please save me. Please save me. Please save me. Please save me. Please save me. Please save me. Please save me. Please save me. Please save me. Please save me. Please save me. This crazy bitch is trying to kill me. Please save me, Hoyeon. Please, please."
The moment her mouth opened, she unleashed a flood of desperate words.
"Wait, so she didn't become obedient?! You bitch! I thought we became friends!"
"Haahk! Please. Just stop already... I'm going crazy... Huaaah... Aaang♥."
"...."
For some reason, Liliana shoved her tail back into the blonde's pussy.
No, wait, that deep...? Isn't that reaching her womb?
And yet, as soon as the tail went back in, she stuck out her tongue and tilted her head back like she was enjoying it.
"Haagh, haah... Huff, hic... Ack...."
No, this is bad. She looks like she's in real danger.
"Liliana. Hold on. Let me talk to her first."
I stopped Liliana before the blonde stalker passed out.
"How was it?! It felt good, right?! You pervy bitch! Oh, really? Alright."
"...Huuu. Hnnnngh... Sniff."
"Hey, don't cry. Pull yourself together."
Pat pat
I lightly tapped her tear-streaked cheeks with my palm, wondering what exactly she felt so wronged about.
"You were sent by Elise, right? You're an executive of the Iris Guild?"
"Huuuk... Sob..."
"If you don't answer now, i'll ask again tomorrow. Want to spend another day playing with Liliana?"
"Yes. Yes. Please, spare me. Sob... Please...."
Seeing her become docile put my mind at ease.
Finally, she's ready to talk.
"First, what's your name?"
"Scarlett. Scarlett Light... Huuuk."
"Scarlett Light..."
Doesn't ring a bell. She must not be a major character in the original.
Probably just one of the Hunters from the Iris Guild.
"What was your mission in tailing me?"
"Sob, I was told to record footage of you having promiscuous relationships with women..."
"...This bitch is lying. Liliana?"
"No! No! Please! Please believe me... Sob. There's even a camera in the piercing on my right ear."
"Hmmm..."
Unlike her clean left ear, there's something attached to her right one.
I focused my vision and examined the piercing on her right ear.
────[Mini Camera]────
▶ Grade: Medium
▶ A small-sized camera with recording functionality.
▶ Contains a magic stone and blends well with the wearer.
────────────
'This thing is made for crime.'
Well, a world with magic isn't going to be crime-free.
No need to even watch the footage... This is proof enough.
"Why do they need footage of me? Do you know the reason?"
"I don't really know... I just followed orders... Sob."
"Tsk..."
Something's definitely off.
Elise may be cold, but after how well I treated her, would she really try to blackmail me?
That can't be it.
If she were that unlikable, she wouldn't be a heroine in the first place.
That means there's something I don't know... But I have no way of finding out.
"Huuuk... Just spare me. I'll do anything."
"Oh wait. There is a way to find out."
I looked at the tear-streaked Scarlett and smiled.
"Scarlett. There's a way we can both win."
"Y-yes. Okay. That's fine..."
I gave her a nasty smile and pulled the Contract of Hell out of my coat.
*
"There, this should be considerate enough, right?"
"Yes... Thank you. Thank you so much."
"Then just work hard to match that."
Scarlett Light received the contract from Lee Hoyeon and inwardly sneered.
'You dumb bastard. He really acts like someone who's never been out in society.'
Before signing, she skimmed through the contract one last time. There were so many loopholes.
It had loads of ambiguous phrases that could be interpreted in different ways, and all of the constraints only applied if she stayed close to Lee Hoyeon.
Meaning, if she ran away once, it would all become meaningless.
'Alright. Another mission accomplished! I'm killing it.'
If Lee Hoyeon had come back even a little later, she would have been completely broken by that crazy bitch. She really got lucky.
That lunatic was now smiling brightly next to Lee Hoyeon. Just seeing her face made her pussy soak with fear.
All Scarlett could think about now was revenge the moment she got out of this situation.
"If you're done reviewing, inject your mana. I already finished mine."
"Yes, understood..."
Ssrkk-
As Scarlett injected her mana, the contract glowed and linked both of them.
[Thank you for using the Contract of Hell.]
[Contract established with human 'Lee Hoyeon'.]
'So even contracts come with pop-ups now, huh.'
Scarlett had signed countless contracts, but this was her first time seeing one like this.
"Alright, Scarlett. Here's your first mission. Report that you're still investigating me. But behind the scenes, investigate Elise. You're now a double agent."
"...Understood."
She just had to escape this situation.
Then, she could run...
Beep-
The moment that thought crossed her mind, a strange sound rang out and a dog collar started forming around her neck.
"W-what?! What is this?!"
Scarlett tried to muster her mana in panic, but the moment the collar locked in place, her body lost all strength and she couldn't move.
"Wow... You seriously thought about betrayal already? That was fast."
"See? I told you she would. Wasn't I right?"
"Yeah. You win, Liliana."
"Yay! That means she's my toy now?! You better keep your promise!"
Scarlett had no idea what kind of bullshit the man and woman in front of her were spouting.
Betrayal? Toy?
'What are they even talking about...?'
But for now, she calmly made eye contact with Lee Hoyeon.
"U-um, Cadet Lee Hoyeon? What is... Going on here? We clearly made a fair contract. Nothing like this was mentioned in the agreement..."
The contract didn't even include standard anti-hostility clauses. There weren't any terms that allowed interference with the other party.
That's why Scarlett let her guard down. The contract was full of loopholes.
So why did this collar appear?
As he patted Liliana's head, Lee Hoyeon looked at Scarlett's confused expression and scoffed.
"Ah... Miss Customer. Is this your first time with a Contract of Hell?"
Seeing that mocking smile, Scarlett's entire body began to tremble.
