Chapter 731: How to Secure a Dungeon (3) (Illustration Warning: Mature Content)

Ignoring Do Yehee’s remark that talking to a man during bath time was vulgar, I hung up the phone after saying I’d see her in an hour and stepped out of the bathroom.

“What’s all the fuss about now? You’ve seen my naked body several times.”

It was truly amazing that such an old-fashioned woman, who would scold someone just for taking a call in the middle of a shower, still existed in the 21st century.

Was it because of her androphobia that she wasn’t used to men yet? Or was her personality just inherently rigid?

Judging by her expression the last time we parted, I thought her wariness towards me had eased up somewhat.

Well, since I was going to meet her in an hour anyway, I didn’t read too much into it.

Aside from these aspects, I could still glimpse quite a few positive points from the phone conversation.

We talked about all sorts of things, but it felt like the small talk went on longer than the main point.

Still, since I confirmed that Do Yehee had become more reasonable in her own way, it wasn’t too bad of a conversation.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been to Southeast Asia….”

Since it was September, it reminded me of the summer vacation I took with Sihee last year.

Of course, today wasn’t a vacation but a work trip, and besides, I wasn’t meeting Do Yehee for a date but for guild business.

…Surely it won’t be like last time, where I’d have to fight an S-class monster out of the blue.

Now, depending on the opponent, I thought I might have a chance even in a 1-on-1 fight against an S-class monster, but still, it was a natural human instinct to want to finish the schedule without a dangerous fight if possible.

We already caught three S-class monsters together with the Sky Blue Shield party members yesterday, so thinking about that, pushing myself too hard two days in a row would be a bit much.

Of course, I’ll have to fight monsters to check the level of the natural gate, but I hoped it would be around A-class or B-class monsters so my practiced skills wouldn’t fade.

Holding such small wishes in my mind, as soon as I came out of the locker room, Eunbyul, whom I encountered at the door, spoke to me as if she had been waiting.

“Did you sleep well, Master? It seems you’ve already finished bathing.”

“Good morning, Eunbyul.”

“Breakfast has been prepared, so it would be best if you ate and then headed to work.”

“Ah, I’m sorry. Something came up requiring me to go overseas, so I have to leave a bit hastily today.”

“Ah… Is that so?”

Instantly, I could read a hint of disappointment from Eunbyul’s expression and a tinge of sadness in her voice.

Of course, like the professional maid she was, she quickly changed her expression and hid her disappointment, but having lived together for several months now, I could read that fleeting emotion.

Before leaving, I felt I could spare a little bit of time for Eunbyul’s sake.

“I probably don’t have time for a full meal, so instead, I’ll just have something like dessert before I leave.”

“Ah, yes! Then I’ll prepare it right now…”

“What are you preparing? It’s right here in front of your eyes.”

“Huh?”

Not understanding, I grabbed Eunbyul’s arm as she tilted her head and pulled her close in an instant.

As her face instantly approached mine, I naturally brought my lips forward.

-Tsu-eup.

“Mmph, nngh.”

Although she seemed slightly flustered, Eunbyul accepted my kiss naturally without refusing.

Our lips pressed together intensely for a moment before parting.

After sharing a kiss that was somewhere between a peck and a French kiss, Eunbyul, with her flushed face, was quite cute.

-Tsu-eup….

“I’m leaving now, Eunbyul.”

“Yes, yes… Please return safely, Master…”

With those words, Eunbyul bowed her head and quickly returned to the kitchen like an arrow.

After confirming the cute maid had completely disappeared into the kitchen, I quietly called out to the familiar presence of two people felt from behind the bedroom door.

“I showed you something a little embarrassing this early in the morning.”

-Oom-jjil.

-Oom-jjil.

“Are you going to keep hiding? If so, Oppa’s just going to leave for work like this?”

As soon as I spoke as if muttering, two presences inside the bedroom stirred slightly.

Although I couldn’t see them directly, hidden behind the wall, the heart symbols marked with expected acquisition points were clearly visible even beyond the wall.

Thus, the owners of the two heart symbols, clearly visible beyond the wall, cautiously walked out from inside the bedroom with embarrassed expressions.

“O-Oppa, how do you always know everything…? I really didn’t make any sound…”

“Your presences are obvious to me. But why didn’t you come out and were hiding in the bedroom?”

“…Your kiss with Eunbyul Unnie was so passionate, I didn’t want to disturb you.”

“How is just watching disturbing? We’ve lived together for several months now, we’re practically family. What’s the big deal about seeing a kiss?”

“E-even if we’re family, isn’t kissing a bit embarrassing, Oppa…?”

…Is that so?

Come to think of it, parents normally say it’s embarrassing to kiss in front of their children. In effect, I showed the kiss to my younger sisters, not even my own children, so it would naturally be embarrassing for them. In my case, having already gone beyond kissing with these younger sisters, there was no reason for me to feel that way.

While quietly looking at my two younger sisters’ faces with that thought, I suddenly found something strange in their expected acquisition points.

“…Huh?”

“Huh? What is it, Oppa?”

“What is it, Oraboni?”

“No, it’s just…”

The number 85 floating next to Han Jin-ah’s face.

The number 90 floating next to Han Seon-ah’s face.

Now that I look, both of them appeared to have accumulated a considerable amount of sexual desire. Although I only just discovered it myself.

‘Why did I suddenly discover this now?’

Both of them having expected acquisition points over 80 meant the amount of points had increased considerably recently, so discovering this only now felt strange somehow. I don’t remember exactly when, but the last time I checked, both of them were around 40, so I was relieved. No matter how often I stayed out and came home late, I couldn’t possibly have failed to notice such a large accumulation.

And above all, what I couldn’t understand was the reaction of these two people right in front of me now. If they had accumulated so much sexual desire, it wouldn’t have been strange if their heat cycles had arrived long ago, and at least the precursory symptoms should have been visible. However, anyone could see that the two people before me now had peaceful expressions, completely unrelated to their heat cycles. It was a moment of confusion, wondering what on earth went wrong in so many ways.

‘Could it be that the system is wrong…?’

“No. Hunter Han Jin-ah and Hunter Han Seon-ah’s expected acquisition points are 85 and 90 respectively. It can be confirmed that a considerable amount of sexual desire has currently accumulated.”

‘…Right.’

If so, it ultimately means both of them have accumulated sexual desire, but… The accumulation of sexual desire without showing heat cycle symptoms… perhaps it means this much desire has accumulated without them experiencing a heat cycle?

‘Thinking about it, quite some time has passed since the last time I relieved them…’

The last time I relieved their heat cycles was the day I was intimate with the three sisters, including Min-ah. To be precise, it was the day before Min-ah’s three sisters moved into my house. And Han Min-ah has been relieved twice in the last few days, so it’s probably fine, but Jin-ah and Seon-ah have probably accumulated just as much desire as Min-ah. But they’re not showing any heat cycle symptoms at all, which is just strange. Seeing as it hasn’t exceeded three digits, it doesn’t seem like an urgent situation…

‘I’ll have to relieve them immediately, maybe even tonight or tomorrow.’

If they were ordinary people, maybe, but for these beast-type hunters, accumulating sexual desire was dangerous in many ways. If, by any chance, their heat cycle started outside and I couldn’t control it, that would also be a problem. As I had promised before that I would manage the heat cycles of the three sisters properly, I had to make time as soon as possible to relieve these two.

“What’s wrong, Oraboni? Your expression suddenly became serious…”

“Wh-what is it, Oppa? Did I or Seon-ah do something wrong?”

“…Jin-ah, Seon-ah.”

“Huh?”

“Yes?”

“It might sound a little strange, but could you two please not go to work today and just stay home?”

Hearing my words, the twins tilted their heads as if not understanding the reason. I looked into their eyes and reiterated my serious request.

“Huh?”

“What do you mean?”

“Quite some time has passed since your last heat cycle, and the fact that your heat cycle hasn’t come yet is strange somehow. So, both of you, don’t go to work today, I’m asking you.”

“Huh? Oh? Come to think of it…”

“…Thinking about it, that’s right.”

Only after hearing my words did they seem to have finally realized that their heat cycle hadn’t come for a while. Seeing as they rose to C-class hunter in less than a year after joining, there was a possibility they were so focused on work that they couldn’t pay attention to things like heat cycles. Unlike Han Min-ah, who was already thorough with self-management, when it came to Jin-ah and Seon-ah, I definitely needed to take care of it.

“I’ll be back tomorrow… no, by tonight. When I return, we’ll start by relieving your heat cycles.”

“B-but I still don’t feel like my heat cycle is coming…”

“…Me too, Oraboni.”

“Still, I’m worried, so please bear with it just for today. If you go out and can’t control your heat cycle and cause an accident, I won’t be able to face your Unnie.”

“Ah, okay! T-Taekyung Oppa told me to stay home, so! I’ll stay home obediently today!”

“…We just thought we might be bothering Oraboni since we’re not even in heat, that’s why I said it. If Oraboni tells us to stay home, I’ll wait obediently.”

“Okay. Thank you, both of you.”

After repeatedly asking Jin-ah and Seon-ah to stay home and emphasizing it.

For now, I stepped outside the house and checked the KakaoTalk messages sent by Do Yehee.

To check the location of the meeting place and the route to get there.

「(Photo)」

「If you look here, the bottom right part on this map is our construction site. There’s a natural gate that appeared 200 meters from here. The route here is….」

Starting with the first photo, about ten or so sincere messages followed. Checking the contents one by one, I started walking towards my first destination, Incheon International Airport.

Seeing the content of the very last message sent, I let out a chuckle.

「And I must say the words I couldn’t finish earlier.」

「Truly vulgar and unbelievable.」

「How can a man not only talk on the phone with a woman who isn’t his partner in the middle of bathing, but also state that fact so proudly and shamelessly?」

It was absurd for her to call me vulgar and whatnot, despite having shown me every embarrassing sight imaginable. Besides, it was ridiculous for her to stubbornly bring up a finished story, so to tell her to shut up, I sent back one photo of her that I had saved last time as leverage.

「Want me to show you what real vulgarity is?」

「(Photo of Do Yehee lying face down naked)」

「Ugh-yah-gyah-dyah-teu-ahk!!」

You shouldn’t have pushed your luck like that.
