Chapter 287 – Chapter 287. Hell’s Damned Summon Contract (2)

The back alley of the Academy Mall.

I carefully inspected the purple cloth in my hand.

It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it, but I definitely remember seeing it in the original work.

‘The proof of a pandemic.’

Among them, it is a mark that lower members can have.

Officers tend to refrain from carrying such a badge, as it can be identified.

“What is it?”

This is too… It’s strange.

I lowered my gaze.

No matter how low a member is, that is the case.

“Uh, uh…”

Do you think this shit has any signs of a pandemic?

Whoever sees it will think Pandemic is a gang of neighborhood thugs.

I kicked the side of the man lying down with my foot.

“Hey. Where did you get this?”

Whipping the purple cloth in front of my eyes.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”

But the man, who still had the trauma of the assault, never listened to me.

I had no choice but to run a weak electric current through his body, and only then did I stop repeating my apologies.

“Where did you get this? If you don’t tell me, I will really kill you.”

“I-I don’t know either! Some guy gave it to me yesterday… The gangs in the back alleys just saw it and carried it away!”

“So who are they? They’re very frustrating.”

I raised the magic power above my hand.

The fire was lit so that the public could see it.

“I don’t know!

“A contract to summon hell from the black market…?”

Why is Pandemic looking for a Hell Summoning Contract?

Hell Summon Contract….

Hell’s Summoning Contract….

By any chance, [Hell’s Damn Summon Contract]?

Naturally, I remembered the [Hell’s Damned Summon Contract] That I bought on the black market.

“Was the place you bought it a boutique antique?”

It’s been a while since I heard it, but I remembered it clearly.

This is the place where you purchased the [Hell’s Wrath Summoning Contract] That summoned Liliana.

I remember it as the only proper antique shop on the black market.

“…Sup.”

Ah, something is unsettling, but this.

It smells like an incident.

No matter how much I think about it, there is only one hellish contract on the black market.

Is Pandemic looking for a contract? Why?

I left her sobbing man alone and headed to the black market.

Fortunately, I always carried the proof to enter the black market.

Tracing my memory, I headed to the antique store where I bought the [Hell’s Damn Summon Contract].

And what I faced was the site of a ruined store.

“… What.”

I felt a strong sense of alienation.

If you pass by and see the broken building, you can get a rough idea of ​​how old it is.

The twigs of the broken wooden table were left intact, and a few items that could be used for money were also left.

This is a black market. It is a town that takes anything that makes money.

That means it hasn’t been long since I’ve been through something like this.

When I looked around, I found a male merchant fanning with a bored expression in the store opposite.

I approached it.

“…Can I ask you something?”

“Uh. If there’s anything you want to buy, just ask.”

The man’s store seemed to sell vitamins or something, but that was not my purpose.

“It’s nothing else, there was an old man who was doing business over there. Do you know where he went?”

“Oh, hey? It was yesterday. Scary-looking men came and overturned the store.”

“… What about the owner?”

“I don’t know? I wonder if he’s dead or not. He screams at me to hand over the hidden contract, but that old man is tough too. He said he didn’t know about such things and was eventually taken away. Maybe he cheated.”

“A contract… A summoning contract from hell, by any chance, did you come up with a word like this?”

“It seems like it was. It seems like it wasn’t. It’s okay, so I’m going to buy one or the other? It’s a vitamin. It’s very good for the body.”

As expected, I think the [Hell’s Damn Summon Contract] Is correct.

“… No. Thank you.”

I left the black market behind the man who clicked his tongue.

I went outside and breathed in the cool air, reflecting on the words of the thugs and merchants.

“Hell’s Wacky Summon Contract…”

What they were looking for was obviously the contract I bought. When I came to check it out a few months ago, that was the only thing I could use.

In the months I haven’t seen it, a huge item has arrived, and this is probably much more likely than assuming that the item is what the pandemic is aiming for.

It’s really sad that the old man was taken away because of me… First of all, the reason why it happened is important.

Once the information is put together, hell and pandemic are clearly related.

For some reason, there was an executive of Pandemic who had a contract from Hell, and the apostle summoned by Pandemic was said to be from Hell, so he couldn’t take a gamble.

But, why is Pandemic looking for that contract?

Where did you get this information in the first place?

If it was an antique, it would have been difficult to trace the route as it wandered around.

In particular, if you tracked down to that antique shop, you must have put in a lot of effort.

Is it worth it?

“… Nothing is certain.”

I sent a message to Liliana through my smart watch.

-Me: Liliana. Are you at home

– Liliana: Yes. Scout and Dahee were picked up by Daeun. After dinner, I’m going to broadcast. Why?

– Me: I’m waiting there quietly.

One thing I can assure you is, if what you were looking for in Pandemic is really the [Hell’s Damned Summon Contract].

Clearly there was something.

… To Liliana.

*

I moved quickly.

A strange feeling of uneasiness filled my heart.

Whether Liliana intended or not, she has the potential to be an important factor in the pandemic.

Returned to the dorm.

Belt ring-

Once inside her, Liliana, who she said was broadcasting, was packing her things while humming her song.

“Are you here?”

Liliana looked at me and greeted me as always.

“A broadcast?”

“Come to think of it, it’s the weekend, so I’m going to rest! And I have to prepare for moving!”

“… Okay.”

I sat down on the sofa next to the smiling Liliana and made up my mind.

It’s Liliana’s fault… There won’t be

Probably so.

It turns out that Liliana is the Dark Lord of the Demon King. This nonsense won’t happen.

However, there must be something in the [Hell’s Wretched Summoning Contract] That summoned Liliana.

I addressed her to Liliana, who was carefully stuffing cookies into her bag.

“Liliana. You know when you signed a contract with me.”

“Huh? Oh, you mean the summoning contract?”

“Yes. That. Do you remember how you came to Earth under a contract?”

“A contract? Well, I was suddenly dragged in while playing games at home.”

Liliana responded with a thoughtless yawn.

“… What did you do before signing the contract?”

“Because I played a game.”

“I bet you didn’t just play games all the time. What about when you’re not playing games?”

“Um… I don’t remember very well.”

Liliana replied as usual.

I don’t remember very well.

Okay. That I don’t remember this.

When I asked a personal question, he always answered like this.

Actually, it was because I didn’t question him, so it was very suspicious.

Because it’s Liliana.

The opponent was that pure Liliana, so she just stood still.

Now is not the time to go over like that.

I acted as if nothing had happened and continued.

“Is there a school in Hell?”

“Of course. There is compulsory education here too. Don’t ignore it too much.”

“So, when you were little or going to school. Don’t you remember?”

“I don’t know. I don’t remember.”

Liliana shook her head.

It seemed as if he didn’t want to talk about the subject.

“…”

No, that’s weird

How can you not remember that

No matter how many years I lived as a hikikomori, it was so strange.

I couldn’t understand it with my common sense.

And if you look at what Liliana said about Hell and what Liliana did, there was actually no big difference between Hell and Earth in terms of lifestyle.

Even so, they say they don’t remember.

“Liliana.”

I called Liliana again.

Liliana seemed annoyed to answer the strange questions that continued.

“I have to pack. Don’t talk to me now! I’m busy.”

“… From now on, answer what I say without any lies.”

After a long time, I put magic into my words. It’s time to use the contract’s orders.

Liliana can never disobey what I say.

The contract was working, of course.

[Article 1. The contractor can give weak commands to the summons, and the summons must follow them. However, the deeper the bond with the summoned beast, the stronger the authority to command.]

Liliana and I formed a bond that made it easy to put these restrictions on us.

That’s why it hurt a little bit.

The fact that I had to force myself to do it this way.

“Ugh…?”

Liliana grabbed her head.

It’s probably the strongest of all the restrictions I’ve had so far.

Liliana looked at me in bewilderment, with an expression of incomprehension.

He seemed surprised by the sudden situation.

“Why, why? Me, I’m just packing my things…”

“Only answer what I ask. Liliana, why do you avoid answering when I ask about your childhood memories?”

This time, I must listen to the answer.

Because I can’t just run away forever.

“I remember. I can’t remember… I can’t. Ah, ah…”

“Liliana…?”

Liliana writhed in her hair as her hands trembled.

No matter how much restrictions were put on it, it was too strong a response.

Besides, she repeated that she couldn’t remember even though I told her not to lie.

Since there was no reaction, it means that it was not really a lie.

“Really, really. I don’t remember… Mi-sorry…”

Dump-

Liliana, her lips rattling, stammered her words and collapsed on her floor, passing out.

She sighed as if her doll’s thread had snapped, and she collapsed.

“Liliana, Liliana?!”

It wasn’t acting.

Because I was watching closely.

She took Liliana’s pulse and found that she had only fainted. There was no harm in her life.

“… Why?”

But my question was not resolved at all.

Why can’t Liliana remember her childhood?

For what reason did she pass out?

Strong trauma?

Even if there was such a trauma, it was my order to be honest.

It’s possible that she closed her memories on her own because of too much trauma… My senses were telling me otherwise.

I put my hand on Liliana’s forehead as she squinted her eyes in pain.

“Then why is this reaction… Huh?”

Just when I was questioning myself, I felt a very weak magical response from Liliana’s head.

No, it wasn’t magical power.

Hell’s magic.

It was a small amount, but… I could clearly feel the magic of hell on Liliana’s fainting head.

And as soon as I recognized the traces, they dispersed in an instant.

As if nothing had happened, Liliana returned to her calm expression.

“…”

With her eyes closed, I watched Liliana lie in her trance and bit her lip.

To resolve this situation, it seemed that I would eventually have to connect to hell.

The options in the [Inferno Summoning Contract] Where I first met Liliana. I still remember it vividly.

————————–

[Hell’s Damn Summon Contract]

Are you the one who summoned the idiots from hell?

Choose one of the 4 madmen.

1. The butcher who is crazy about human flesh, the devil Lucifer

2. Hell Academy Adda Bomber Golden Sun Incubus

3. F-class mercenary for 20 years. 100 battles, 100 battles

4. The 50-Year-Old Old Maid The Spider-Weaver Artisan Succubus

—————————

The third option, ’20th year F-class mercenary. A centaur with the strength of an old man with a hundred battles.’

That guy is probably a centaur that appeared in France.

If so, it is understandable to find the [Infernal Summoning Contract] In Pandemic.

A connection to hell that has nothing to do with Liliana.

“As expected, there are only centaurs…”

If I met a centaur, it seemed that this stuffy feeling would be relieved a little.

I felt that way.
