Chapter 31 – Episode 31. Contract

“It burned white…”

“I don’t think I can do it if I ask you to do it again…”

Wow.

I sat in the make-up room in the PR department and looked into the mirror.

I’m really sorry, but I’m not sure what has changed.

“I’m sure everyone will be surprised by this?”

“Let’s go out quickly. The surprised faces of the chairman and foreign students are already flickering. Hohoho.”

“Ah yes.”

If you lift it that far, your confidence will increase. Am I really good looking?

Is it a magical makeup that only looks good on women’s eyes?

I looked in the mirror, tidied up my clothes, and left the dressing room.

An angel was naturally sitting on the sofa in the public relations department.

No, it’s not an angel, it’s Alice.

The scene where Alice first appears in the game suddenly came to mind.

[How should I express her appearance as she climbs the podium at the entrance ceremony?]

[The blonde hair, which was arranged along the graceful curves of the body, seemed to light up the surroundings.]

[Unrealistically white skin and dense features.]

[The combination of the beautiful face and the cadet uniform seemed like a symbol of innocence, but there was a spoonful of sexism in the calm expression.]

[The image of her momentarily reflected in her eyes while going up the stairs on the platform was deeply imprinted in her mind.]

“It’s really hard to stare at people like that.”

“Ah, ah. Sorry.”

Unknowingly, I stared at Alice’s face.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“Uh… It went pretty well.”

“…Thank you. But why are you the same as when you entered?”

No, I heard it’s a mess. My sisters

Is not it? Maybe it’s because I’m embarrassed that I don’t show it.

“Big, well. It can be.”

“Come out quickly when you’re done. The president is waiting outside.”

Ellis left the public relations department first after leaving those words.

If that’s acting, I might turn into an actor.

I-ssi, it took over an hour just to make up. I’ve been struggling for nothing

“… Junior, you’re really, really crazy.”

However, Surin noona’s reaction, who was waiting outside, was a bit different.

“Ah, it’s the same as usual, what are you talking about?”

“I really don’t know how to put it… Crazy! Just.”

Also, am I this tidy?

After receiving the praise from Noona Surin and her twinkling eyes, my mood was lifted again.

“I’ll take a picture with the student council in the background!”

A male photographer with a cheerful impression recommended a photo.

I made a V with my left hand with an awkward expression.

“Ah, the boy was so nervous. I miss her face.”

“I’m sorry.”

Tuk-tuk.

Someone from the side tapped me, so I looked up and Elise met my eyes.

“Follow me.”

Alice crosses her arms and turns her body about 45 degrees to show her back to me.

Oh that’s the attitude

I also turned about 45 degrees and put my back on Elise’s back.

“Oh~ I like my posture. I have confidence!”

Click click.

“It turned out incredibly well. Let’s go to the next location!”

“Okay, take a picture.”

Click click

“Next, we’ll go to the Academy Library.”

I don’t know how many moves this is already.

Surin noona disappeared at the student council and said she had many things to do. When I saw it, it seems that this older sister also ran away because it was annoying.

Alice also looks a little tired. If you’re physically healthy, you’ll be mentally tough.

“Let’s go for a shot of each other holding books and sitting in chairs reading a book!”

You are really passionate. Do you get paid a lot?

Click click.

“Now, next time… Oops, the time is already like this.”

It’s finally over! The end of the long 3-hour shoot… !

“Let’s have lunch, and we’ll meet again at Victoria Academy’s central fountain until 1:00.”

Fuck this.

The filming team left those words and went to eat while laughing wahahaha.

Alice and I faced each other in the library like abandoned ducks.

“Do you have any plans later?”

“There is nothing.”

“Then would you like to go to lunch together?”

“…Or so.”

Fortunately, we eat together.

Alice gave a short answer and moved her steps first.
​

“…”

Alice took the lead and walked into a restaurant or something.

I quickly followed after him.

The waiter came and said that she was taking orders, and when she looked at Alice, she sighed and said, ‘I’d like the same, please.’

Are you crazy? I would say that too

The waiter disappeared, and I quietly looked around.

It reminded me of a steak restaurant I went to with a big heart when I was in my 20s.

I really liked that place back then, but the atmosphere here is different.

The air is different, and I think I will get paid for saying that it is high-quality air to breathe.

Yum Yum.

Alice, in the seat in front of me, is a place where I come often, so she doesn’t think much of it. She quietly eats the pre-dinner bread.

Hmm. I have nothing to do, so shall we try to talk?

Praise makes even whales dance. Let’s give a compliment.

“But you did a really good job on makeup. I was surprised earlier.”

“Why are you Abu all of a sudden?”

“Uh… I was just saying what I felt… I’m sorry.”

“No, even to apologize… Ha ha. Just have a quiet meal.”

“Yes….”

Why are you so mean are you mad at me

I got a little awkward too, so I quietly ate the bread.

Soon after, the meal came out and the meal was finished.

In the middle, Alice threw her favorite material once in a while and had a long conversation.

Fortunately, the classic movie that was released a few days ago worked.

‘I’m glad I studied Alice’s taste.’

She doesn’t know when she will meet Ellis, so she memorizes all the news, such as new works and classic performances by her favorite authors.

After lunch, I left the restaurant.

The meal took quite a while, so it’s time for the appointment soon.

“Unexpectedly, it took a long time. It’s already 12:50. Let’s go quickly.”

“It’s because you keep talking nonsense. It’s manners to focus on the meal when eating, don’t you know?”

“But it was fun. Don’t you want to see Figaro and the Pirate?”

“That’s true… Hah. It’s exhausting. The afternoon schedule is ending soon, so just follow me. Let’s finish it quickly.”

Elise looked around her and walked all the way forward.

“Uh, over there? Isn’t it that way?”

The central fountain is on the other side of the store.

Alice didn’t hear me or was ignoring me, so she continued walking away.

Can’t you hear me?

*

“Now, let’s finish filming today? Thank you for your hard work!”

“You worked hard!”

“Thank you for your effort!”

The afternoon shoot was definitely over quickly. After moving the location a couple of times, it’s pretty good.

If it hadn’t been for Alice, it would have ended sooner.

“If you don’t know the way well, you shouldn’t have told me.”

“…It could be. People can’t always be perfect.”

“Well, it feels good to see your humanity. I walked towards the central fountain, but I didn’t expect that the walls outside the academy would come out.”

“…”

“Kuk.”

Alice’s puzzled expression on her outer wall as she headed towards the central fountain was really cute.

It was funny how she glanced at me and her face turned red and she walked away at a high speed in the opposite direction.

“…Lee Ho-yeon.”

Alice calls my name in a low voice.

Fucked. Are you angry?

Then he strides over and stabs me in the chest with his index finger.

“There’s a limit to seeing you act rudely just because you’re handsome.”

Elise gave me a warning that wasn’t a warning, and then ran away from her seat.

“I learned this from you bitch…”

And while she said that she looked the same before and after makeup, she must be handsome. What.

“Oh, I don’t want to wake up.”

Of the two weekends, Saturday was used up for filming, so it’s right to take Sunday off, but I have work to do.

Have to go shopping

Of course, I’m not going to go to a hypermarket, it’s black market shopping.

“The opportunity to make money has come, but I have to make it.”

To check the information of the original item, you must use [Emotion] Magic or use an emotion scroll.

But with the ability of the equipment status window, I can see the information just by looking at it.

Anyone can see that this is about collecting fraudulent items lying around on the black market.

I made up my mind to make that idea come true on the weekend, but it’s not easy to wake up.

“Ugh. If you’re going anyway, it’s better to go early and rest.”

Let’s postpone today’s work to tomorrow. It’s my motto, but I’ve already delayed enough.

I go to class tomorrow and I have no more time.

I forcibly opened my eyes, put on my private clothes, and went out to the academy store.

Emergency stairs at Samro Department Store. It is the passage route of the black market that leads underground.

There were other guys guarding it from the big guys that were there last time.

I held out the coin, and he quietly moved out of the way, so it slipped through.

“It’s the first time since I came to the pharmacy the other day, so it’s been quite a while.”

Let’s take a look at the pharmacy. There may be unexpected harvests.

All over the basement, there were people selling stalls.

Starting with monster by-products, there were beakers full of blood and some selling live fish.

Actually, it is a very strange sight.

Of course, there are occasional opportunities among such people, but most of them are bright losers.

The black market is a place that everyone knows and goes over easily.

The country and associations are not stupid, and there are all kinds of talented people, so how can they not notice the flow of money and goods?

After all, this is a ‘weak black market’ with relatively weak people.

The ‘strong black market’ is really hidden so that only VIPs can enter.

It is really full of illegal elements that cross the line, from human trafficking to human experimentation, rape, and monster gladiators.

Even if the location is specified, the amount of lobbying done is considerable, so in some cases they are overlooked.

Anyway, this is a ‘weak black market’ where the level is down.

However, there may be hidden treasures.

There’s no way that the poor people in the ‘weak black market’ can’t have a good eye for treasure.

“It looks like anyone can see it here.”

[Boutique Antique]

It is openly a shop where antiques are gathered here.

In the first place, it’s a good place to open a shop rather than a stall.

I entered the store while lifting the cloth-covered screen.

A musty smell from old items. It smells like money

“It’s the first time I’ve seen this face. Welcome back.”

An old man sitting on a chair at the back of the counter welcomed me with a smile.

His clothes are ragged and he’s missing a few teeth, which doesn’t give a good impression.

“Do you have anything you’re looking for? I can pick something up for you.”

I looked around the object quietly without answering. The old man is fanning himself with his eyes closed, perhaps not expecting an answer.

‘Garbage. This is trash too. New Year’s Recipe? This is trash too.’

It was literally a feast of garbage.

It’s not looking for a needle in the sand, it’s a treasure hunt among the trash.

“Hmm…”

As I am checking things one by one, the old man opens his eyes and looks at me.

Why are you doing that Is the crazy old man senile?

Ignoring the hot stares, I continued looking for things.

After rummaging through antiques for about 30 minutes, something came out.

────[ Hell’s Damn Summon Contract ]────

▶ Rating: Best

▶ It is a summoning contract containing the magic of hell. The quality of the summoning ones is bad, but the engraved magic itself is super high magic, so it is a contract of the highest quality.

▶ You can summon and make a contract with idiots who are treated as a nuisance in hell.

-────────────

What is this vaguely good or bad item?

I heard something about summoning from hell, so I picked it up and checked it, but it’s a fucking summoning contract.

“That’s absurd.”

I was so dumbfounded that I forgot the old man was there and talked to myself.

Fortunately, the old man didn’t really care. While running an antique store, he seems to have undergone mental training while meeting crazy people.

‘Ah, this sucks.’

Headsman. A treasure trove. Although these words are very offensive, it’s a first-class summoning scroll.

There is something that excites men’s hearts.

‘No, I need to find something more reliable now.’

I forcibly averted my eyes from [Hell’s Damn Summon Contract] And looked around at other products.

“…”

*

“Good choice. I don’t know what that scroll is, but I bought it from a man wrapped in a robe ten years ago. I hope it will be useful to you.”

“Yes, yes. Have a hard time.”

Shit. Ran out

[Hell’s Damn Summon Contract]!

I don’t know what it is, but it’s cool!

Excited at the thought of writing a summons, I rushed to the dormitory right away.

Rattle!

After confirming that the dormitory door was locked, I took out the summons that I had carried in my chest.

He put the summoning scroll down on the floor and slowly poured mana into it.

Shuuuuung-

Light pours out from the summoning scroll and fills the room.

I closed my eyes because of the light, and when I opened them, something appeared in front of my eyes.

————————–

[Hell’s Damn Summon Contract]

Are you the one who summoned the madmen of hell?

Choose one of the 4 nerds.

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

“…What the fuck is this.”

An option like a system window appeared in front of my eyes.
