As Liliana complained loudly, I pulled out the Hell\'s Rascals Summoning Contract from the desk.

"I\'m sure that hidden article only shows up when Liliana touches it."

This thing really lives up to the name of the Hell Contract. Sure, I\'ve used it on Scarlet, but what can I do?

I brought out the contract to figure out if I could reach Liliana\'s mother. Unlike Liliana, who\'s a room-dwelling gamer, her mother leads a normal social life, so she might know about the Demon King.

"The hidden article was clearly written… \'When the Summon reflects on their actions up to now and the Contractor agrees, a means of communication with the original world will be provided.\'"

I still remember the day Liliana sent her first letter to her mother. Considering the wording back then, there was no mention of it being a one-time thing. So, it can probably be used to contact Hell again.

I stared at the contract, contemplating if I should give it a try.

"Excuse me. Could you kindly toss in another means of contact?"

Swoosh—

As I requested, magic began flowing from the contract.

[Thank you for using the Hell\'s Rascals Summoning Contract.]

[The contract with the succubus \'Liliana\' has become stable.]

[Accordingly, if the Contractor agrees, a means to contact Liliana\'s \'mother\' will be provided. Do you agree?]

"I should\'ve tried it sooner."

Could it be this straightforward? Can I just dial Hell up whenever I feel like it?

[Contact can be made once a month due to the time required for power recharge.]

"Ah… what a bummer."

The contract seemed to read my mind and answered before I even brought it up. And then, the letter paper Liliana used last time gently descended from the sky.

"…Thinking about it, this is really a top-notch item."

The Hell Contract obtained from Gill Steven\'s pocket was intermediate. But the Hell\'s Rascals Summoning Contract is top-tier. So, the effect is expected to be good.

[Hell\'s Rascal Summoning Contract]

▶ Grade: Top-tier

▶ A summoning contract infused with the power of Hell. The quality of the creature summoned might not be great, but the magic inscribed itself is top-notch, making it a premium-grade contract.

▶ Allows you to summon and form a contract with one of the rascals who are treated like garbage in hell.

"Ugh…."

The Hell\'s Rascal Summoning Contract.

The emphasized \'rascal\' in the contract irked me for some reason. The choices that popped up back then were downright absurd as well.

1. Lucifer, the demon butcher shop owner gone insane.

2. Incubus, the hell academy\'s bombshell.

3. Centaurus, the F-rank mercenary for 20 years. Undefeated by anyone and a veteran in countless battles.

4. Succubus, the 50-year-old virgin spinster.

Just glancing at the options gave me a headache. Liliana might be in better shape now, but when she was first summoned, she was truly a rascal. Living a reclusive life in her room, gaming all day—that was her life. However, from a cliché perspective, rascals usually hail from well-off families.

You don\'t typically label a homeless troublemaker on the street as a rascal. You just call them crazy. But if a genuine aristocrat or royal child goes haywire, they get the \'rascal\' tag.

"Is she a child from a well-off family…?" I sneakily watched Liliana streaming through the partially open door.

"Thanks for the 500,000 won~ Loli-loli-loli~ Any chance for more revealing outfits? Fuck off, not happening. I won\'t expose myself to you, you perverted bastard."

Liliana was engaging in banter with the viewer who supported her, flexing her bravado.

"She can\'t be, no matter how I think about it."

Well, earlier she did mention she\'s from an ordinary household and doesn\'t know much about the Demon King… Maybe I just misunderstood.

★ Heroine Status Window

[Liliana]

[Affection: 90] ( +0.8 )

[Lust: 92]

[Appetite: 45]

[Fatigue: 35]

Current Status: Ah, I just want to wrap up the stream and devour some chicken. Then, another round of sex.

I\'d like to see scores reflecting the influence in this world, not just this. Since Liliana isn\'t originally a heroine, I want to see scores based on her impact on this world.

[Currently, female characters with a high likelihood of being conquered: Im Sol (94 points), Liliana (70 points), Rebecca (85 points), Scarlet (32 points)…]

As soon as I thought about it, the system window appeared in front of me.

"70 points…?"

Liliana was definitely 65 points before, and now it increased by 5 points. Im Sol also rose from 93 points to 94 points.

The score changes in real-time as the influence increases.

I learned another piece of information. But why is Liliana at 70 points, considering her impact? Maybe she got stronger as I got stronger?

Scarlet, Alice\'s planted spy, holds 32 points. As expected, with minimal importance in the original work, she only contributes 0.3 points outside of Im Sol. Not the best cost-performance ratio.

"Wait, who\'s Rebecca again?"

Rebecca—the name appeared on the list of female characters with a high likelihood of being conquered.

With a score of 85, she should be a character from the original game, albeit one whose name I don\'t know, or she might be someone quite famous in this world, even if she doesn\'t appear in the original… It has to be one of those scenarios.

Since I can\'t be sure what criteria the score of 85 is based on—fame, strength, assets, or some other influence—I can\'t pinpoint it definitively.

"I\'ll have to pass on this for now."

If it\'s a character I don\'t know, there\'s no way searching the internet will yield any results. I can remember every piece of information that has ever crossed my mind.

"I\'ll be back after a quick bathroom break."

Liliana happened to step out of the room for a bit.

"What the hell? Why are you snooping around my room?"

I handed Liliana a letter as our eyes met in front of the room.

"Liliana, want to contact your mom?"

"Huh? All of a sudden?"

"Yeah, I\'ve been waiting, and it turns out we can contact her once a month."

Liliana took the letter from my hand, read it with curiosity, and then placed it on the desk, pondering.

"Alright… Hm… Mom can be a bit worrisome."

I tried to score some points in a low-key way, but her reaction wasn\'t particularly enthusiastic. Surely, last time, she was crying and pleading for me to let her contact her mom.

Why the sudden change?

"Why? Not happy about it?"

"It\'s not that… It\'s just, mom\'s my rival."

"…?"

"Never mind. I need to go to the bathroom. Move aside."

"Uh, sure."

Liliana went into the bathroom.

"Rival…? Did I misunderstand the meaning?"

Perhaps in hell, it means something else entirely. Sitting on the sofa, I contemplated what it could mean in hell.

The next day, Friday.

The academy\'s announcement to stay in the dorms for safety got extended for another day. Those stuck in the dorms until Friday often visited each other\'s rooms to chill.

Lucy dropped by Lumi\'s room, whipping up some cookies.

"Lumi, how is it?"

"Yes, they\'re tasty."

"Hehe, my skills have leveled up, huh?"

"Impressive, Lucy."

Lucy realized her cookies weren\'t that good, but after intense training, she finally could bake delicious ones.

"I\'ll bring some for Hoyeon tomorrow. He\'ll probably enjoy them."

"He enjoyed them last time too."

"That… He was just pretending!"

Lucy still carried the scars from when Hoyeon, after pretending to enjoy them, declared they tasted like poison.

"Lumi, let\'s try this. A personality test."

"Sure, sounds fun."

Whenever Lucy took the lead in something, Lumi always agreed without hesitation. Growing up without parents and relying on each other since childhood, Lucy and Lumi found happiness just by seeing each other\'s faces.

"How about this one? Going out with a boyfriend, where would you prefer? 1. Amusement park. 2. Zoo. 3. Water park."

"I like amusement parks."

"Oh, I… the zoo? You need to wear a swimsuit for the water park."

Lucy wasn\'t fond of exposing her body much. She found it uncomfortable with guys\' stares.

"I\'ll wash my hands quickly and be right back."

Watching Lumi, who still couldn\'t say she was going to the bathroom, Lucy chuckled. Despite being almost identical twins, she always felt the need to take care of her sister as an older sister. It had been like that since they were young. She never considered that it might become overprotective.

"Personality tests are fun."

Looking at another personality test on her smartwatch, Lucy mused.

[If you were to get a boyfriend, how would you meet? 1. Natural encounter. 2. Blind date meeting. 3. Introduction from a friend.]

"Hmm… having a boyfriend."

If I were to have a boyfriend…

Suddenly, the face of someone came to Lucy\'s mind.

"Why is this happening? Really…"

After shaking her head, she looked back at the screen, but the face of a certain man wouldn\'t leave her mind.

"Ugh…"

Lucy was aware of the vague relationship between Lee Hoyeon, Lumi, and herself. And she, who has been watching Lumi for a lifetime, could tell what Lumi was thinking just by her actions.

Lumi likes Lee Hoyeon. And perhaps, Lee Hoyeon also has a liking for Lumi. She can sense that he treats Lumi a bit more kindly than her.

Lucy wants to continue being friends like this forever. For a lifetime… just the three of them having fun without anyone else. That way, she would feel more at ease.

"Sigh…" Lucy\'s thoughts became complicated.

***

Friday morning rolled around, and yet another announcement told me to stay put indoors.

"Ughhh…."

I awoke, casually reaching out to play with Liliana\'s bare chest beside me. With the outside world off-limits, the natural choice is to enjoy some intimate time with Liliana.

"Ugh… Master, this early?"

"Just wanted to feel something soft."

"Mmm…"

What should we do today? Sex can wait, we need to have breakfast.

"Let\'s have chicken."

"I\'m sick of chicken."

"Why… Let\'s order some chicken. Nothing like sweating it out while we wait. Right, Master?"

"Should we…?"

Ding!

At that moment, a bell installed on the dormitory window rang.

"It\'s Scout!"

"It\'s Scarlet."

We hopped out of bed and headed to the living room. No one in sight outside the big window, but Scarlet smoothly made her way in when I opened it.

"Wow! Scout skills on point!"

Liliana applauded as Scarlet gracefully touched down.

"Scarlet, you have something to report already?"

To keep things discreet and avoid any traceable communication methods linked back to Alice, I opted for in-person conversations.

I did mention to report even minor details if they could be helpful, but it hasn\'t even been a day since I sent her out, and she\'s back already?

"Yes, it\'s a big one."

Scarlet casually plucked a piercing from her right ear and handed it over. There was a confident gleam in her eyes.

"Come here, Scout."

"Yes, yes."

While Liliana and Scarlet played, I connected the piercing to my smartwatch to check the video footage inside.
