As I regained my composure, a notification popped up on my phone.

=========

– expresses (★★☆☆☆) satisfaction with your meeting.

– 50 points credited to app user Lee Soo-hyun.

– The Interdimensional Blind Date app is dedicated to helping users establish perfect ideal types with all their matching partners.

Please enjoy good relationships with more potential partners.

=========

It seems like I’ve completely ruined the relationship that was going so well.

The low points I received compared to the relationship we had are evidence of that.

“No, this is ridiculous.”

Feeling no pressure since I had gained a lot of points, I immediately opened the store to find the invitation ticket I had used before.

Even if we were going to part ways, there should at least be time for a proper farewell. Who knew a blind date app would ruin a date like this?

I quickly purchased the lowest-grade invitation ticket (E) and summoned her to my world.

And then…

“Husband?”

She appeared in front of me with empty eyes filled with a deep sense of loss.

Her empty gaze, filled with shock, was terrifying, to say the least!

Looking at me with those empty eyes, she spoke.

“Husband, what was so urgent that you suddenly disappeared in front of me like that?”

I felt like one wrong word could lead to immediate murder.

I tried to calm her down as much as possible and explained the situation.

“Well… as I mentioned, there’s a time limit…”

She raised her long elf ears and asked.

“A time limit? Was it that short? How long can I stay in your world?”

“Well… I’m not exactly sure…”

She let out a sigh.

I reassured her that it wasn’t intentional, and she seemed to calm down a bit.

“….I see. I don’t understand the principles behind it, so I won’t say anything about it. But…”

As she hesitated for a moment, I was afraid of what she would say next.

“If that’s the case, it’s truly unfortunate for me. I thought that if I treated my husband well, I could keep him in my world for a longer time.”

I had a feeling that her rushed proposal for a bond from the beginning was to keep me tied to her.

She asked with a serious expression.

“Does that mean there’s a predetermined time for me to stay in this world as well?”

I explained that, aside from being able to summon her multiple times with the invitation ticket, she could stay for about 10 minutes.

Since her satisfaction score (★★☆☆☆) equated to five minutes of time on Earth.

But once again, it seemed that even a slight white lie was not tolerated.

“Hmm… Husband, is that statement only half true?”

“Uh… well, that’s…”

Feeling pressured by her piercing gaze, I didn’t know how to respond. She gently touched my cheek and spoke.

“I’m not interrogating you, Husband. I have sworn to accept you as my partner. I am willing to do anything to be with my other half. If my presence here causes you trouble, is there anything that could be problematic?”

In the end, I had no choice but to confess some truths to her due to her gentle persuasion.

“It’s a bit complicated to explain, the principles behind this are a bit complex…”

Her expression turned slightly sour.

“Is that so? I see… then there’s nothing to be done. Instead, can you promise to summon me to this world more frequently up to the point where it doesn’t cause you trouble? Can you promise to bring me here more often within the limits where you won’t be inconvenienced?”

Despite that, I could only nod in agreement to her understanding and compassionate words.

“Okay, I understand. I’m sorry.”

“I don’t want to feel sorry…. I don’t want to become a husband burdened with guilt. Instead, I want to be a place where the husband can stay comfortably.”

With a gentle expression, she spoke….

“Just…. I am grateful just to be able to see the husband like this. So please do not feel burdened by my existence.”

“….”

The woman who was acting as if she would die without me just a moment ago now had a face that was holding back with all her might, making me feel strangely sorry.

Perhaps she knew that this fox-like elf might be saying this with ulterior motives!

I was gradually becoming a body that couldn’t escape from this swamp-like elf.

She leaned into me again as if throwing herself into my arms and said,

“Oh! This is not the time, husband. Did I say 10 minutes? So that you won’t feel lonely before I go back to that world, please pamper me.”

Checking the remaining time, the time was a bit vague, so I could only lightly kiss her and comfort her.

.

.

.

“Um…. Hah, huff…. Hah. Now that I think we will part soon, this moment with the husband feels more precious, hah. I don’t know when the husband will find me again, but um…. Hah. Until the husband finds me again, I will cherish this moment and wait, so please find me quickly, hah.”

….Really, the species of the woman in front of me is not an elf, but a fox.

She had an extraordinary skill of reading people’s minds and manipulating men’s hearts.

If it weren’t for the special nature of the world she was born in, wouldn’t she have unknowingly made many men fall for her?

And perhaps I would have been one of those people who fell for her while looking at her?

‘Ah.’

Thinking that way, I couldn’t help but raise my white flag to her fox-like behavior.

Yes, I earned a lot of points, but some of them should be used for her.

….Although I’m not sure how using them for her is different from using them for myself.

“….”

I was tempted by the various items in the shop and kept weighing them with her, but the scale completely tilted towards her.

Anyway, points will surely accumulate as I continue to interact with her. There was no reason to be impatient, so I decided to just focus on my fleeting emotions.

I realized that it was time to part soon and said to her, who was wearing a lonely expression,

“I think I can stay a little longer….”

“What do you mean, husb….”

“Exactly what I said.”

“Ah♡”

I carried her to the bed without her saying anything, and she happily welcomed me, ready to receive me.

“….Don’t you have any more questions to ask?”

“What else is there to ask, husband. The fact that I can spend more time with the husband is more important to me than anything else right now. So please love me and cherish me quickly, husband.”

And she made more stimulating sounds.

I inserted my manhood into her depths as her eyes rolled back.

“Huff♡”

Her insides warmly welcomed me, embracing me gently and soothingly, she said,

“Don’t rush and savor me leisurely until the husband is satisfied. I will never go anywhere as long as the husband doesn’t leave first….”

“….Ah.”

Thanks to her whisper, I also got excited and my manhood stood up.

“Hehe….♡ Husband, it’s too deep there. I just came a moment ago, so I’m very sensitive right now…. Husband?”

“….”

“Husba…. Ohh♡”

In the end, I shared love with her to my heart’s content until I could no longer extend the time.

“….I’m really going crazy.”

Almost afternoon, I opened my eyes and checked the app first thing.

I felt like I knew why men change when they meet a woman. No, it was certain that there weren’t many women who could make a man like this.

“Do I have to pay more taxes….”

I used to leave comments like that, half jealous and half sincere, while looking at happy couples before.

Thinking that my current state was exactly like that, I got out of bed.

I had definitely shared deep conversations with her until bedtime, but I already missed her.

“So, what do I do now….”

Maybe because I woke up from a good dream, I didn’t feel motivated.

I just waited for the time to match with her again, endlessly waiting for time to pass.

Living the day in a daze, I suddenly received a text on my phone.

=========

[Ms. Soo-hyun Hunter, the Hunter Ability Qualification Extension Exam is scheduled for two days from now….]

=========

I couldn’t help but feel completely awake as if I had been splashed with cold water.

“Ah….”

It was definitely time to wake up from this dream now.

*

Well, it’s a familiar story now, but I was just a low-ranking hunter with nothing special.

‘Yes, this is reality.’

Living day by day relying on uncertainty.

I changed my clothes and went outside.

Once I was awake, I wanted to move my body.

=========

-Agility has increased by 0.1 through intense running.

-Endurance has increased by 0.1 through long exercise.

-Agility has increased by 0.1 through intense running.

=========

“Haah, hoo….”

….Thinking deeply, even last night’s incident was like that.

What she saw in the eyes of the residents of this world was due to the uniqueness of the world she lived in, not because of anything special about herself.

I scolded myself for momentarily forgetting that.

‘Well, does an S-rank hunter no longer resonate with me?’

In reality, I am just a single hunter who is not recognized as a full-fledged one and takes irregular exams every quarter.

Even if I have this opportunity, what’s the use if I don’t properly hone it.

I couldn’t properly utilize even a fraction of the potential this app had….

My current situation was like a pearl necklace on a pig’s neck.

‘Pull yourself together.’

It’s not the time to be dazed in a woman’s arms.

I could have been a better person today than yesterday. At least someone who is not ashamed in front of her….

‘Ah, I’m talking too much again….’

Thinking that the presence of the woman I met through the app had deeply rooted itself within me, I ran through the park at full speed without stopping.

For tomorrow’s exam. And to not be ashamed of myself at least.

.

.

.

How long did I run and run.

Before I knew it, the evening sun had set, and it was a dark night with no one passing by….

When I returned home, I immediately started training in the training room.

“One, two….”

I pushed my body to the limit by doubling the weight more than usual.

“Ugh.”

And the result….

“Ugh…. This is the best I can do right now.”

It wasn’t until late at night that I could achieve stats that put me in the top ranks as an E-rank hunter.

Compared to the average of all hunters, it fell far short, but at least it was a complete transformation from the usual precarious position of barely maintaining the cut line as an E-rank ability holder.

“Now….”

There isn’t much time left until the exam.
