Chapter 504 – Chapter 504. Lucifer

Tweet.
Squeeze.

Ho-yeon Lee woke up to the unrealistic sound of birds that can’t be heard in ordinary homes.
It wasn’t the sound coming from the yard of the house, but the sound coming from the yard of Alice, the house next door.

“… My head hurts.”

I closed the window through which the morning sun came in and turned my head.
Apparently the three of them slept together, but when I woke up, only Rebecca was lying in the seat next to me.
Lee Ho-yeon instinctively pricked Rebecca’s cheek.

“Yes….”
“Sleep well.”

Lee Ho-yeon, who brushed Rebecca’s hair, got up from the bed and stretched her.
After making intense love yesterday, Rebecca seems to be getting some sleep.

Her body hasn’t recovered from fatigue yet, but since Scarlett is awake, she should go out and say hello.
When I went out into the living room, as expected, Scarlett was sitting at the table.
She was sitting with her legs crossed and drinking her coffee.

“Good morning. Scarlett.”
“Yes. You’re up now. Would you like a cup of coffee?”
“Please.”

Scarlett served her coffee as if nothing had happened.
Okay. She knew it.
It was also good that I didn’t stop last night.
Lee Ho-yeon looked at Scarlett with a happy expression.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“… It’s nothing. I thought you weren’t tired.”
“It’s okay. I went to bed early last night.”

Sniffling.

Looking at Scarlett’s red lips reminds me of what happened last night.
It was honestly a lot of cute how she acted like nothing happened, but if she said it out of her mouth, she would definitely be right.

“Hoyeonah. Good morning. Did you sleep well?”
“Yeah. Good morning to you, Da-eun.”

Nam Da-eun came out of the kitchen and approached Lee Ho-yeon with a smile.
Her appearance was like a puppy asking for her hair to be stroked, so she patted Nam Da-eun’s hair without realizing it.

“Hehe. Breakfast will be ready soon.”
“I’m always thankful.”
“No. It’s because it’s for Hoyeon.”

Nam Da-eun went back, and Scarlett followed him into the kitchen.
It seems to help prepare the meal.

‘Is it because of the emotion at dawn?’

Lee Ho-yeon, who was left alone, drank her coffee and thought about the events of yesterday.
It seems like there were a lot of embarrassing words exchanged last night, but it would be difficult to ask them to do it again now.
Still, it feels good to have a deep conversation.

Lee Ho-yeon looked at the smart watch and thought about what to do.
He didn’t have any appointments with the heroines, but he had work to do.
It’s an inspection of the fake dungeon magic circle in Victoria Park.

‘… I really have to go today.’

Even if the magic circle is already in the completion stage, taking your hands off the magic circle for two days in a row is like disqualification as a wizard.
It’s such a nonsense that when Im Sol finds out, she gets angry.
However, Lee Ho-yeon was still thinking about the conversation she had with Rebecca and Scarlett yesterday.

‘Do you really want to discard it?’

The memory of last night was still clear.
Rebecca and Scarlett’s words hit Lee Ho-yeon with a dagger and made him think about everything again.

‘Since when did I become the bad guy Lee Ho-yeon?’

Her own best was not the best of other women.
He tried his best, but it went in the wrong direction.

Now that you have recognized your mistake, you must change.

If so, where did it get twisted?
And why is it twisted?

‘Should I have revealed everything from the beginning?’

In fact, he doesn’t think it’s right to choose to reveal everything from the beginning.
It might have been okay to reveal it at the right time, but if it was revealed from the beginning, I wouldn’t have been able to build a relationship with all the heroines.

‘It must have been fine, but how did it get ruined like this?’

The heroines’ attack went smoothly, and Lee Ho-yeon began to perceive this world as reality, not a game.
The problem is that at some point, those things became ‘simple work’.
It’s funny to think about how many times you’ve realized that this world is real and then changed like that.

So you need to find the cause.

“It’s not why… Why it had to be.”

There are hypotheses that his innate personality is trash from the beginning and stupid from the beginning, but if you think like that, there is no end to it.

―――――「Clear mental power」―――――

▶ Privileges

▶Under any circumstances, keep your spirit firmly at the center.

――――――――――――――――

And this is the reason Lee Ho-yeon came up with.

[Clear mentality].

This is the privilege Lee Ho-yeon obtained while possessing this world.
Thanks to the trait that keeps her spirits up, Lee Ho-yeon doesn’t experience major emotional ups and downs, and has immunity to mental magic.

However, there was something suspicious about this perk that I didn’t think much of.

To keep the spirit firmly in the ‘center’.

This privilege keeps Lee Ho-yeon’s spirit from collapsing.
In other words, the spirit of Lee Ho-yeon is always maintained.

Then what is the center?

If you think that being the center is the mind you had when you first possessed this world, then you can explain why your attitude was strange.
Even if you try to recognize that it is not a game, her heart becomes lighter.

… Just like the first time I was possessed.

‘Can’t I consciously remove the privilege?’

Even if you ask a human to move its tail, you can’t try because you don’t know the sensation, you can’t even try because you don’t know how to get rid of the perk.
The time when she tried to raise her magical power to do something.

“I’m tired… Uhhh…”

Dump.

Liliana, who limply approached with a zombie-like sound, sat down next to Lee Ho-yeon.

“… Did it just happen?”

Lee Ho-yeon, who was in serious thought for a long time, turned her head and looked at Liliana.

“Yeah… What were you doing?”
“I was just drinking coffee. Doing some meditation.”
“Oh no. Yesterday we all went to the training ground and played together. Play with me today.”
“I didn’t go to the training ground to play, I went to training. I sparred with Rebecca yesterday.”
“Why is Dalian suddenly?”
“Rebecca said she wanted to get used to the magic of hell, so I helped her.”
“Come to think of it, you asked me to help you too. Should I stick around from now on?”
“That’s not bad either.”

It looks like it’s called the magic of hell, but it’s nothing special.
It’s just a new type of magic.

But being new was important.

Magic power is like air.

They exist everywhere in this world, and like air for breathing, mana is needed for combat.
There is magic in every action.
If you couldn’t read the opponent’s magical pattern, of course, you would be slow to deal with it, and if the ark was completely different, like the magical power of hell, that would be even worse.

Of course, vice versa.

Liliana, Chiron, and Albedo were the same.
Everyone from Hell was weak at first.
But Lucifer was different.

“… Was Lucifer originally strong like a monster?”

The Lucifer seen in Rebecca’s memories was really strong.
Due to time constraints, he probably didn’t have much time to adapt to the human world.

Of course, there may be differences in adaptation for each individual, but it was strange that it only happened to Lucifer by chance.

“Liliana. Are you familiar with Earth’s magic now?”
“Of course. I’ve been here a long time.”

Actually, I was curious about something.
Just as humans are immobilized by the magic of hell, shouldn’t demon beasts from hell have a hard time exerting their power when they come to the human world?
Of course, with the formation of a black pillar, those standards became ambiguous… I still had my doubts.

“I have a question, isn’t it hard for humans to cope with the magic of hell?
“Let’s see if it’s not the first time. Stupid.”
“Yes?”
“Hell has a lot of information about humans. There are dramas about the human world, and there are actual human slaves. That’s what I experienced there.”
“Ah….”

I remembered.
When Liliana was first summoned to this world, she left an impression that the human world was worse than the drama she saw in Hell.
This cannot be said if there is no information about the human world in hell.

In addition, the information of Lucifer written in the crazy contract is ‘Lucifer, the butcher mad at human flesh’.
If so, there’s a good chance he actually saw a human.

“But how do humans get to hell?”
“Well…? They say space-time is twisted and they fall by accident… I don’t know either. Maybe I just pick up handsome and pretty people and breed them?”
“… That’s scary.”

Among the humans who accidentally fell, only those with outstanding appearance were enslaved, and the rest went to the farm?
It’s such a scary story. After all, it is better not to hear about the circumstances of hell.

Lucifer ranks first among the demon king’s successors.
There must have been many opportunities to meet humans, so it is natural that they adapt quickly.
Chiron and Albedo must have lived in Hell for a long time and experienced many humans, so they are not affected by the magic of the human world.

‘… Come to think of it, I’ll have to adapt to the other kids as well.’

Rebecca is an honor student who works hard by herself, but the other heroines are still unaware of Lucifer’s danger.

“I’m hungry. Oh, are you playing with me today?”
“Okay. I’ll play with you today.”
“Hey! Then would you like to be a guest on my show? It’s a downturn these days.”
“…That’s a bit.”

Anyway, it’s a bit like a genius wizard appearing on a female cam.
She’s been chatting with Liliana for a while, when her sobbing Rebecca comes out of her room and collapses on her table.

“Rebecca. It must have been amazing yesterday. It smells like a woman.”
“… Yes. The baby’s father was in good shape.”
“Have breakfast.”

Right before Rebecca started a bad conversation about her prenatal education, Nam Da-eun brought a meal.
Breakfast is French toast, sausage, and omelet.
Looking at the freshly baked, steaming bread and the chewy sausage, I don’t think I’ll have to worry about breakfast later.

“Dahee. We have to eat quickly and get ready.”
“Uh. I understand, sister.”

As we continued our meal as usual, the sound of beep beep beep filled the living room.
It was Scarlett’s smartwatch.

“During meals, manners are manners, Scout.”
“… Wait a minute. I’m sorry.”

Scarlett lowered her voice and checked the contents of her smartwatch with a serious expression.
At first glance, it was not an ordinary thing.
We naturally put spoons in the heavy atmosphere and waited for Scarlett’s words.

“Hoyeon-nim. Irene-nim got an urgent call. They said they found Lucifer’s location.”
“… Really?”
“Yes. They said they contacted you first because they thought they should let you know… What should we do?”

Lee Ho-yeon jumped up from her seat and hardened her face.

Lucifer.

As the original demon king, he is well aware of his danger, but he cannot avoid it forever.
In addition, the fact that the location has been identified means that something suspicious is plotting.
You can never stay still.

“I’ll go see Irene first…”

Lee Ho-yeon took stock of the situation himself, and he tried to think of how to move.
However, as soon as she saw the other women’s expressions, she changed her mind.

“… No, let’s all go together.”

Everything from small things.
She has to change the perception that she is trying to solve everything.
Scarlett listened to Lee Ho-yeon and smiled at her.

“Okay. Let’s go straight to Irene’s house.”
“Sister, where are we going?”
“No. Don’t worry. I’ll take only Dahee and go. How should I tell the academy…”
“Today was a day to play with me…”
“It can’t be helped. Liliana. Eat all the bread first.”
