Chapter 183. Liliana the One-Hit Instructor! (3)
After arriving back at the hospital room, I washed my hands and lay down on the bed.
"I'm seriously exhausted."
Lumi had been clinging to me the whole time, it really drained me.
She must've felt relieved after deciding to open up to Lucy.
She kept trying to stick close to the end, so I barely got her off me with a kiss.
I wanted to play with her longer too, but time was tight.
While heading back, I saw a message from Lucy, replied, and returned to the hospital room.
As I turned on the hologram from my smartwatch to pass time before bed, I sensed mana from the ceiling of the room.
Rustle—
"...Scarlett?"
"Even with your mana circuit damaged, you still noticed. Impressive."
Tap—
As I called her name, Scarlett landed from the ceiling.
"What's going on? Sneaking into my hospital room at night… is this an assassination?"
"Unfortunately, our contract forbids that. But I came urgently to inform you of something."
"What is it?"
Scarlett's serious expression made me sit up and get ready to listen.
"Confidential information has leaked to informants in Korea. Orders have been issued to find Nam Daeun and Nam Dahee."
"...So the Buyer Guild finally noticed."
Honestly, they noticed way too late.
Thanks to their thorough investigations, I bought some time, which worked out for me.
"Yes. As soon as I found out, I rushed to inform you."
"Scarlett… thanks. I'll pay you separately for this."
Before thinking about Daeun's situation, I made sure to express my gratitude to Scarlett first.
Including this matter, I've lost count of how many times she's helped me.
She's under contract, unable to defy me and compelled to follow my orders.
But this wasn't something I ordered—she chose to help me on her own.
Of course I'm grateful.
I tried to express that gratitude by offering payment, but Scarlett shook her head.
"No. It's okay."
"Well, I'm not okay with that."
"...Hoyeon. Then, can I ask you a favor?"
"Tell me."
Is the contract too uncomfortable?
Is Liliana harassing her too much?
As various possibilities crossed my mind, I looked at Scarlett.
"...If you could allow me to spend some time with Lady Liliana, I'd be very grateful. Since Nam Daeun and Nam Dahee are at the dorm..."
"Ah..."
Scarlett bowed her head deeply.
That's when I finally remembered—how Scarlett first became so obedient.
'Liliana was the reason Scarlett mellowed out.'
I remembered Liliana's excited face, calling herself a master of torture.
Yeah, what would Scarlett do with money?
She has something no amount of money can buy—the succubus tail.
"S-Sorry…."
"...No, I'm sorry. I'll try to make it happen soon."
I should've realized earlier. It must've been so embarrassing for her to ask for that out loud.
Her face was the reddest I'd ever seen.
After Scarlett calmed down,
We both straightened our expressions as if nothing had happened.
Because we were talking about serious matters.
"Scarlett. What would you do in this situation?"
My cards were Nam Daeun, Nam Dahee, and the Buyer Guild's weaknesses.
Once I had all that, the Buyer Guild's collapse was only a matter of time.
The issue was the process.
How to target Nam Daeun effectively—that was key.
"If it were me, I'd expose the Buyer Guild's dirty secrets to the media right away. A hunting dog that's lost its value will be abandoned anyway."
"Hmm, that's true."
That would be a natural response for most people.
But I'm not in that position.
Even if it makes me look crazy, I have to win over the heroine.
This job has its own hardships, okay?
"However… if you're trying to give Nam Daeun a chance to finish it herself, waiting might not be bad."
"A chance?"
"Yes. Isn't that why you've been delaying the exposure?"
"...You could say that."
Honestly, the moment I secured the sisters Nam Daeun and Nam Dahee, the game was already over.
No matter what I did from here, I was guaranteed to win.
I expected the other side to make a move first, so I stalled despite having all the evidence—wondering if I could use it in my strategy for Nam Daeun.
Because I still had memories of the original story.
In the original, Nam Daeun was tormented endlessly by Park Mingyu.
Poverty, loneliness, and hardship dragged on for over half a year.
On top of that, Park Mingyu's pressure intensified and she even lost her top rank.
Eventually, she reached her breaking point.
And just barely, the protagonist saved her.
So I could use "revenge" as the keyword to win her over.
Back then, Nam Daeun was terrifying.
So cold and distant, I wondered if she could even be conquered.
Starting with revenge, getting closer to her sister Nam Dahee, and putting in enormous effort—that's how you could slowly open Daeun's heart.
But right now, Nam Daeun wasn't at that level yet.
After observing her for a few days, she seemed pretty calm.
Bringing flowers to the hospital and living peacefully with Scarlett and Liliana at home made me doubt if I could raise affection using revenge.
Maybe the hatred hadn't built up enough.
That's when Scarlett spoke again.
"Actually, Nam Daeun seems to have some interest in revenge… so I think trying it is worth it."
"Daeun, no—she's interested in revenge?"
Well, that changes everything.
I can go forward with my original plan.
"Yes, I talked with her… but didn't you already know that, Hoyeon?"
"Ah, yeah. Of course I did. Totally knew."
Scarlett gave me a slightly skeptical look, but what could she say—I said I knew.
If Nam Daeun's thinking about revenge, that's a good thing.
No way years of resentment would vanish just because I saved her six months early.
"Anyway, thanks, Scarlett. You coming to tell me really helped."
"Yes… but please don't forget what I asked about, after it's all settled."
"...Yeah. Don't worry."
If she's bringing it up again, she must be really desperate.
I sent Scarlett off and fell asleep thinking about what to do with Nam Daeun.

Rustle—
After reporting to Lee Hoyeon, Scarlett returned to the dorm.
Even though it was the men's dorm, her stealth skills let her walk in through the front, but she was so used to it that the window felt easier.
In the living room were Nam Daeun blankly watching TV and Liliana lying down fiddling with her smartwatch.
"Scout! You're back!"
"Yes. Something urgent came up and I had to take care of it."
She didn't mention anything serious like 'Nam Daeun and Nam Dahee are being targeted by an info guild.'
Liliana, the master of this dorm, wasn't the type to handle serious talk well.
Scarlett was considerate in that regard.
"Aha-ha. Let's eat. We were just about to order delivery."
Liliana greeted Scarlett with a smile, and Scarlett glanced around, asking curiously.
"By the way, where's Dahee?"
By now, she'd usually be playing on Daeun's lap, but strangely she was nowhere to be seen.
"She was tired, so she went to sleep early."
"Ah…"
Daeun answered Scarlett's question and turned her eyes back to the TV.
Though the same age as Lee Hoyeon, her stiff and expressionless demeanor made Scarlett feel sorry for her.
Whenever she saw Daeun staring into space, she wondered what she was thinking, and it left her feeling heavy.
'Is she thinking about revenge?'
Sometimes, Daeun would ask strange questions with a completely serious face.
Questions like how much Scarlett's clothes cost, or if her job was a good one.
Daeun must've lived a pure life, but seeing her like this now made Scarlett feel both sympathy and sorrow.
Of course, working for an information guild, Scarlett knew that was pure hypocrisy—so she never let it show.
Meanwhile, Nam Daeun was thinking something completely different.
'What exactly is sex like?'
She was staring into space, thinking about sex.
Because the only thing she could offer Lee Hoyeon in return… was her body.
Even when the Buyer Guild threatened her, they desired her body—maybe all men liked that.
But strangely, the disgust she felt with Uncle Mingyu didn't appear with Lee Hoyeon.
'It's probably because he saved Dahee, right?'
There were many reasons.
No matter how kind he looked, a pot-bellied middle-aged man was different from the protagonist Lee Hoyeon.
Plus, after saving Dahee and helping her multiple times, the affection he'd built up in heroine Nam Daeun made her unable to shake the emotions.
So she felt no resistance to offering her body.
But sex wasn't something easy.
It was a relationship between a man and a woman.
Mingling bodies, doing intimate things.
Though she hadn't lived a sheltered life, and wasn't completely ignorant, her experience was shallow—so calling it a gift felt weird.
Nam Daeun pondered how to handle this situation.
Then she suddenly noticed Scarlett drinking coffee next to her.
And she thought:
'A woman that pretty and capable must have a lot of experience.'
She immediately turned to Scarlett.
"Miss Scarlett. Can I ask you something?"
"Yes, anything."
Scarlett, relaxing while choosing food with Liliana, smiled and replied.
"...How can I be good at sex?"
"Pffft!"
Cough cough
The coffee went back up her throat and out her mouth as Scarlett tried to figure out what the hell just happened.
"D-Daeun. Why would you suddenly…"
"Was it too abrupt? I'm sorry."
"No, no… it's okay…"
Scarlett understood that Daeun had been gaslit for so long that she lacked social skills.
So the sudden question was fine—but the topic was a problem.
"Why are you suddenly interested in that...?"
"I want to repay Hoyeon."
"…."
Who taught her about sex?
Scarlett immediately glanced at the succubus—the most likely culprit.
She was the only one here who'd talk about that stuff.
But unexpectedly, Liliana was staring with wide eyes.
Judging by her expression, it was genuine shock.
"You… you're curious about sex, huh!"
Liliana tossed her ice cream stick and ran to the couch.
"Huh...?"
"Wow, you came to the right place. This is the best place in town for that."
"...?"
"...Ha."
So it wasn't Liliana.
Which meant things just got worse.
Because once Liliana was like this, there was no stopping her.
"I'll definitely help you. I already like how sweet you are."
"...Me?"
Nam Daeun was flustered by Liliana suddenly getting close, when they hadn't even talked much.
"Yep yep."
Most of the humans Liliana met were internet randos, so of course she liked Daeun more.
"Thank you, Lady Liliana."
"Mm. I like that you're so polite too. You're my favorite human so far. No, wait—Lee Hoyeon is number one. Oh, and Scout is here too. Sorry. You're third."
"...Yes."
Nam Daeun didn't know Liliana was a succubus.
So she didn't fully get the 'human' talk, but it sounded like a compliment, so she bowed politely.
She considered both Scarlett and Liliana her benefactors—even if not as much as Lee Hoyeon.
Just letting her and Dahee stay here and treating them warmly was more than enough.
Liliana nodded cheerfully.
"I'll show you the essence of sex. Scout, get over here. It's demonstration time!"
"...Lady Liliana. I really don't think this is okay…"
Scarlett, watching quietly until now, shook her head at Liliana.
This really wasn't okay.
She had worked so hard to be a good adult figure for Daeun…!
"Tsk. Come on! Strip!"
"…."
But Scarlett had no right to refuse Liliana's command.
And… the moment she saw that wagging tail, her womb started to throb.
It brought back the memories of the times Liliana used to play with her tail.
"...."
Scarlett slowly undressed.
With each layer removed, her heart pounded.
It was pathetic… but she was looking forward to it.
She had waited for this day so much that she even went to Hoyeon to ask—so even with Daeun present, she couldn't resist the throbbing in her womb.
"Okay. There. Lie down, Scout."
"...Yes, Lady Liliana."
And as ordered, she lay on the bed and spread her legs.
She covered her face with her hands, unable to look at Daeun—but her pussy, fully educated, was already dripping as soon as Liliana stood in front of her.
"Alright, Daeun. See? This is the clitoris… it's a woman's erogenous zone."
"Ah…."
"And here's what men really like…."
Though surprised by the sudden turn of events, the more Daeun heard, the more she realized this was useful, so she sat up and paid attention.
Squish. Squish.
Every time Liliana's fingers touched Scarlett's pussy, lewd sounds filled the room.
"Tsk. Scout. Don't interrupt the demo."
"S-Sorry… Lady Liliana… ha, hah."
'T-This... this is what I've been waiting for.'
Feeling Liliana's touch for the first time in ages, Scarlett forgot to cover her face and clutched the bedsheet, overwhelmed with arousal.
Gulp.
Watching this, Nam Daeun swallowed hard.
To think someone as composed and mature as Scarlett could fall apart like this… Liliana must be amazing.
She always seemed like someone who only lazed around and ate all day, but there really was a reason she was part of Lee Hoyeon's faction.
Unintentionally, Nam Daeun had taken the best sex expert in the human world as her mentor, and she began listening intently to Liliana's lesson.
