Scarlet was now in shock because of the conversation between Victor and Lucifer. Her father, who always loved her, always spoiled her, yet now he was 'selling' her to a bastard.
"I have a lot of stuff to deal with. When I'm free I'll call again. Take care of Scarlet for me."
Looking at Victor's expression, it seemed like something really was going on at his workplace. High chance someone turned into a zombie, which is why he's in such a hurry.
"I got it. And don't get bitten by a zombie. If you get bitten, there's no saving you. The tower isn't open yet, so there's nothing to save you with."
Lucifer kindly reminded him. Anyway, if Victor died, who'd send him money? Right now, even though he could use his real power to become a celebrity to make money, he preferred to play games for fun.
"I'll be careful."
Victor just left in a hurry like that without noticing his poor daughter, who was 'desperate' thinking about this life.
"What are you moping about? Hurry up and get up. Get ready to follow me outside and see if there's anything to do."
Of course if there was anything to do, Scarlet would be the one doing it. He already had his phone and a few power banks ready.
Even though he liked playing games on the computer more, the phone worked too. The important thing was its convenience, being able to take it anywhere.
"I can't get up. You hit too hard so for now I can only lie here like this. You hit like you want to destroy my ass and now you tell me to get up and go outside like this. I'll tell my dad you're abusing me."
She felt Victor trusted her with Lucifer because he thought Lucifer was someone trustworthy. But if Lucifer abused her to satisfy himself, she definitely wouldn't agree. That way she could leave.
As for what her father said, that he would scold her when Lucifer spanked her, she didn't believe that. She was sure that was fake because, forever, her father loved her most.
"Wait a minute, let me go get something to help you. How could I let slave No. 1 rest while I have to work?"
After saying that, Lucifer ran off without explaining anything else. His strange actions somehow gave her a bad feeling that something was about to go wrong…
Sure enough, whatever you worry about comes true. Lucifer somehow found a jar of high-quality cream specifically for treating situations like this.
"You… don't you come over here!"
Scarlet wanted to flip onto her back so Lucifer couldn't 'help' her, but her speed was too slow in his eyes.
He used his foot to step on her back so she couldn't squirm around, then quickly helped her apply the pain relief cream.
"You bastard, you pervert, you inhuman animal!"
The more she struggled, the more powerless she felt against Lucifer's unreasonable strength. Right now she felt like she was in a low tunnel through a mountain. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't lift the whole mountain up to stand straight.
"Hmph, it's just a mortal body. What's all the yelling about? The more you thrash around, the harsher I'll have to punish you."
Lucifer snorted, then pinched hard, making her grit her teeth and widen her eyes in pain. Her ass was already injured and now getting pinched like this was honestly killing her.
"Want me to pour some salt on it? Ah no, using chili salt would probably work better. Ha ha ha…"
He kept threatening her and then gave a very cruel smile. Of course it wasn't an empty threat. He would actually do it if she was stubborn. Anyway, he was a demon king with no humanity, so don't expect him to act like a good person.
Even though it hurt a lot, now she only dared to bite the pillow hard and close her eyes to take it. Even if it meant temporarily losing her memory and turning into an idiot, so be it.
"See, being good is better, isn't it? You're slave No. 1, the one who helps me with chores. Not the other way around, got it? I don't have the free time to drag around a useless burden."
Seems like she realized there was no way to fight back against Lucifer, so now Scarlet chose to stay silent as a form of resistance. Of course, silence like that was a good thing for Lucifer so he didn't bother her any further.
"System, I made her abandon 'darkness' and follow 'light'. From now on her future is bright, so shouldn't you give me a reward for saving someone?"
Scarlet heard Lucifer said some nonsense to himself and felt very angry, but it seemed she understood now. He was talking to someone else, not to her… So from the very beginning there were actually two 'people' staring at her.
The more she thought about it, the more her face flushed red with embarrassment. Not knowing anyone else knew about this, she already felt humiliated enough. But now with another 'person' knowing, it was twice as humiliating.
"You bastard, who are you talking to?"
Although her words were bad, her tone was much gentler now. If not for Lucifer's hand still rubbing in the cream, she definitely would've cursed louder.
"None of your business. And it's not human either. Let's see… you can think of it as an advanced AI, that's fine."
Lucifer casually described the system and then waited for the reward to be given.
[I am not an AI. Please don't insult me like that.]
"I said you're an advanced AI. Meaning you're still a step above, and you still won't accept it?"
Want someone as arrogant as Lucifer to apologize? That's very hard unless he actually feels guilty.
[…]
[The things you do are a mess. No matter how you look at it, you seem more like a great villain than a savior. But since it was my wording mistake from the beginning, the reward should still be given to you.]
[Reward for Quest No. 1 has been given.]
Out of thin air appeared a random lottery ticket emitting a seven-colored light, and then it fell into Lucifer's palm.
This bizarre scene truly shattered Scarlet's understanding of this world, making her stare without blinking. She even temporarily forgot where Lucifer's hand was currently placed.
