Chapter 48

### Chapter 48: Instinctively (2)

Baek Ae-young immediately returned her raised eyebrows to their original position and continued speaking with an innocent expression.

"Still, it's okay because I have many teammates who protect me. We've been working together for a long time, so we have good chemistry. Speaking of which, do you have good chemistry with your dungeon practice teammates, Ho-yeon?"

Her skill at changing the subject is no joke. It's fitting for someone who has been enduring in the dull Hunter Association, which is full of old people.

"To be honest, it's not easy. Even though we're in the same year, I don't get along with them, and I can't imagine how active hunters manage to work together. I have to coordinate with people I've never met before."

"Still, you're lucky, Ho-yeon. It's better to experience not getting along with teammates while you're still an academy student. In the real field, there are people who make you wonder if they're intentionally trying to wipe out the team."

Ugh. Baek Ae-young shook her head as if a bad memory had surfaced.

"Indeed, listening to the words of a saint who works in the field really hits home."

"Hey, I told you not to call me that, didn't I?"

Baek Ae-young clenched her fist and punched my shoulder.

Of course, it didn't hurt because it was a light punch.

"Listening to you, I heard that you're really versatile. Your grades are good, you're a student council member, your practice scores are excellent, and you even do volunteer work on weekends. What are you, really? I was so busy just studying when I was in the academy."

"Thank you for the compliment. I just have that kind of personality."

"Personality?"

It's not hard to pique Baek Ae-young's interest.

She likes people who are honest with their instincts.

It's even better if they are indulgent in their desires and lack self-control.

And if they have a sturdy, manly body, that's the best.

In simple terms, she wants to be dominated by a muscle pig who is indulgent in his desires.

My body is pretty, but it's just a good-looking set of muscles.

It's a bit different from what Baek Ae-young wants.

Fortunately, I have other strengths. I can compensate for my lack of physical appeal with my face.

If it worked in the original game, it will work here too.

"Yes, I don't compromise on what I want to do. I have to achieve it and get it no matter what."

"Hmm, why is that? Desire is good, but being too indulgent in it makes you a bad adult."

While wanting to be raped by such an adult.

It seems she still doesn't trust me.

I need to dig a bit deeper.

"But I've been like that since I was young. It was hard, so I couldn't do anything I wanted, like eating or having things. It must have been very sad when I was the age of the kids in the orphanage now."

Sniff. She cleared her throat unnecessarily.

Of course, I don't remember anything about Lee Ho-yeon's past.

I grew up in a warm environment with good parents.

"..."

Fortunately, Baek Ae-young sensed the serious atmosphere and waited quietly for me to continue.

"When I became an adult and started attending the academy, I realized that I had to get everything I wanted and do everything I wanted to do."

"I see... "

Baek Ae-young looked at me with warm eyes and held my hand.

The sudden physical contact felt good, but it seemed to be effective in emotional manipulation.

'Why is she naturally lowering her tone?'

- [Affection: 45]

Current Status: I need to comfort this child with a sad story. Maybe I can become her master...

Baek Ae-young's affection has risen to 45. It's a significant improvement from the initial 30.

But why is her lust so high? Has it been building up recently?

Anyway, I need to finish the emotional manipulation.

I need to elevate my image from a sad child to a candidate who might pounce on me.

"I don't want to miss out on my academy life, I want to do well on exams, I want to be in the student council, and I don't want to give up on volunteering. I have to destroy what I hate and get what I like. That's why I fought with Mina."

"... It's okay. Now, Ho-yeon, you only have to succeed."

As she held my hand and looked into my eyes, Baek Ae-young suddenly exclaimed, "Oh!" and let go of me.

"Sorry. I made a mistake. No, I made a mistake. I'm really sorry."

"Ha. It's okay. I liked it too. And please speak more casually. You're my senior."

"R, really?"

Her lips were curling up, which was a good sign.

She really likes to act like an adult.

"Yes, yes. Of course."

"Thank you. Ho-yeon, you're cuter than I thought? You were a complete troublemaker?"

"Ah, I'm just a bit of a fool."

Baek Ae-young seemed to be thinking deeply about something.

"Hmm, still, it's cool. Actually, I like that kind of personality... Ah, it's a bit hot?"

Baek Ae-young muttered to herself, "It's so hot," and unbuttoned two buttons on her shirt blouse.

It was indeed a bit warm for March, but not that hot.

I felt her gaze lingering on my face.

With two buttons unbuttoned, her cleavage was inevitably exposed, and my eyes naturally drifted that way.

I deliberately fixed my gaze on her chest.

To make sure Baek Ae-young felt my gaze.

After staring at her cleavage for a few seconds, I looked up and met her eyes.

She continued the conversation as if she didn't care whether I was looking at her chest or not.

"Even with that kind of personality, you have good self-control. You do everything you want, but if what you want is exams, studies, student council, volunteering, and Mina hunting, you're not a fool but just a very kind person."

That's true.

But the "doing everything you want" part is a setup I just created. I've been living a good life. I wanted to be a bad guy, but it wasn't easy.

Still, looking at Baek Ae-young's chest gave me a good excuse.

"So far, everything I've wanted has been legal. But if the next thing I want is illegal... "

Swoosh.

I sent my eyes to Baek Ae-young's still open cleavage.

The outrageous act of staring at a woman's chest while talking to her.

I did it.

"I don't really know myself."

"Huh...?"

Baek Ae-young didn't seem to care. She even seemed interested.

"Of course, it's a joke, right?"

"Of course. But aren't you teasing an adult too much? If it was someone else, you'd be in trouble?"

It's obviously a very rude act.

The walls of society and law, the leash of morality and reason.

These are what Baek Ae-young hates the most.

But ironically, she is the one who best adheres to them.

The attention and respect of others, the name of a saint, the expectations placed on her. She doesn't want to disappoint anyone, so she pretends to act rationally more than anyone else.

In reality, she is a woman deeply immersed in the most primal things: men's nature, desire, lust.

That's why she reveals her desires more strongly.

If there are no other people around and the other person also feels the same instinct, Baek Ae-young would actually enjoy such behavior.

"This conversation has been really interesting."

Baek Ae-young's eyes drew a smooth curve.

*Quest Completed!*

★ Heroine Status Window

'Alright.'

I'm indeed talented at emotional manipulation.

"Good, good."

Things are going well.

The special quest is to take the virginity of three heroines.

I've already taken the virginity of Lucy and Lumi, so I just need to figure out how to deal with Baek Ae-young.

Fortunately, I succeeded in piquing her interest.

The conversation was long, even though it was about trivial things.

After chatting for a few hours, Baek Ae-young said she needed to go and got up, and I just distributed snacks to the kids and left the orphanage.

It's 5 PM now.

It's a bit early for dinner, but it's not a bad time.

"Please pack a whole chicken for me."

Should I order something for Lilianna too?

If she doesn't eat, I'll just eat two. I can force it down.

But if I eat alone, she might get upset, so I ordered an extra one.

"Excuse me...?"

"Yes?"

"Are you Lee Ho-yeon from the Publicity Department? I'm a huge fan...! If it's not too much trouble, could you sign this?"

A woman suddenly appeared and held out her smartwatch to me. I just wrote my name and "Be happy!" and she squealed and disappeared.

I've been in the Publicity Department for quite a while, but it's surprising that people still recognize me.

After the shoot, the number of people who recognize me has increased significantly.

"But are you not doing the next shoot? It feels too guilty to only do one activity a month for the student council."

The Publicity Department is important because it connects me with two heroines, Ellis and Moon So-rin.

"Something feels strange. It's like I've become a celebrity."

By the way, did Lilianna turn on her stream today?

I checked Lilianna's channel on my smartwatch.

I didn't expect it, but she was AFK again.

"This is really not good. If she doesn't make money from streaming, she's just a parasite."

If she's sick, she should say so. If she's not sick, she should come out of her room and at least act like a pet. She's not doing anything!

I took the packed chicken and returned to the dormitory.

Ding.

I opened the familiar door. It was quiet inside as usual.

I went straight to Lilianna's room and knocked on the door.

Knock knock.

"Lilianna! I brought chicken. Do you want to eat together?"

"... Sorry. I'll eat it later by myself."

"What's really going on with you? If something's wrong, just tell me. Did you gamble or something?"

"No, it's not that."

"Ha... As your contractor, I have the duty to manage and care for you."

"I don't want to!"

Why is she acting like this? Did she suddenly become rebellious after 50 years of idleness?

'If I just open the door, it will open. Why is she being so talkative?'

Click!

I got frustrated and the door opened.

Lilianna was wearing a gray sweatshirt that reached her hips and nothing but underwear underneath, a comfortable outfit for being at home.

"Huh? E, eh? What, what is it!"

Bang!

Lilianna, apparently startled by the sudden opening of the door, closed it again.

"You, you! I didn't order you to!"

"No, I didn't. You just opened the door and came out."

"It just moved on its own! You're the pervert, you!"

Hmm, seeing her swear, she's back to normal.

"You weren't saying anything. So, are you going to do it now? Lilianna. Open the door."

Click!

Again, the gray sweatshirt and underwear greeted me.

"Crazy bastard! I'm not even dressed!"

"Then put on some clothes and come out again."

Bang!

Lilianna closed the door, apparently following my order.

I was lost in thought, listening to the sounds of her getting dressed and the occasional swearing.

'Why has the power of the contract become so strong?'

I remember clearly.

The content of the Hell's Rascal contract.

- Article 1. The contractor can give weak commands to the summoned, and the summoned must follow them. However, the stronger the bond with the summoned, the stronger the command authority.

I don't understand why the command authority has become stronger, given that there hasn't been anything to deepen the bond between me and Lilianna.

It's not a bad thing.

With my command authority being quite strong, Lilianna will likely comply with most commands.

I deeply felt that.

If she doesn't cooperate even after a while, I'll have to use a command to find out what she's doing.

Now, there's no sound coming from the room. A few moments later, Lilianna, wearing sweatpants, came out into the living room.

"..."

"Lilianna, why have you been acting like this lately? You don't stream, you don't come out, and if you have a complaint, let's talk it out. Is it still about Lucy? There was no other way at the time, you know?"

"No, it's not that..."

"Alright. I need to check your room first."

I don't know what strange things she might be doing in there.

She doesn't seem to want to talk about it, so I need to check if there are any suspicious or dangerous items in the room.

"A, no! Absolutely not! Are you trying to kill me?!"

"Lilianna. Stay still."

I infused my voice with magic and headed to the room.

I entered my room, which had become Lilianna's.

It felt nostalgic to be back in here after a long time.

But as soon as I crossed the threshold, a strong smell hit me.

"What is this?"

Especially the bed.

It was drenched in sweat, the room was humid, and it smelled overwhelmingly of sweat. It was as if she had been sweating profusely for three minutes.

"What is this?"

"I, I was just exercising and sweating! It's nothing, so get out quickly!"

Lilianna, who had followed me, grabbed my arm and tried to pull me out.

What could she have been doing to sweat so much?

I'm worried she might be using some strange drugs.

If Lilianna's health is compromised, it's all my responsibility, and I can't let that happen.

"Lilianna, tell me the truth before I command you. What have you been doing here?"

"Please, just go. Please, I'm begging you..."

"Lilianna. Tell me in detail what you did in this room for the past three days, from the beginning to the end."

I infused my voice with almost half of my magic. This should be enough.

I didn't want to go this far, but Lilianna's current state is clearly not normal. It's a given that there's something unusual going on.

Despair filled Lilianna's face at my command, and she slowly began to speak.

"I, I masturbated... for three days... On the first day, I rubbed my clitoris while smelling your student uniform. The next day, I sucked on your panties while holding the student uniform and rubbing my vagina. The next day, since the smell was gone, I thought about you penetrating Lucy and fingered myself..."

"...?"

What? Masturbation? With my student uniform?

Wait, no, what?

I can't process the information pouring in. My memory seems to be malfunctioning. I need to ask again...

"U, u, ugh! You, you bastard! Die! Get eaten by a hell hog and die! Get your ass opened by an incubus! Pervert!"

"..."

Lilianna screamed with a bright red face.

I don't know how to respond in this situation.

She called me a pervert obsessed with lust, but she's been masturbating for three days.

Is there a succubus like this?

"I, I said I masturbated, but, but it's not true... E, e... "

Lilianna fanned her face with her hand, as if it was hot, and continued.

"...Yeah."

"You know... You know I don't like this, right? Say something!"

"Uh, yeah. I know."

While speaking, Lilianna's pupils were trembling more and more. I'm
