Right after that incident, I tried matching with her, and lo and behold.

=========

Her conquest has ended.

Well, I kind of expected it to happen, but with a satisfaction score of 5 stars, a lot of changes have come.

=========

– As has been completely conquered, your world will be added to her affiliation. From now on, she can spend 3 hours a day on Earth without an invitation.

– These 3 hours can be used at the discretion of your match.

=========

The most significant change is that now, without an invitation, she can spend about 3 hours in my world.

Even at her own discretion.

Honestly, even though her points have increased significantly, her point consumption was a bit burdensome for me, but it turned out very well for me.

And next…

=========

– The Affection System window has been opened.

– Please fulfill her desires by understanding her affection for you. The more desires fulfilled, the more her mind will be at ease and completely devoted to the app user.

– 5% (She always doubts whether she can be a suitable partner for you.)

– 8% (She wants your attention and love completely.)

– The average score of Affection Points is 7%. 7 points are credited weekly.

=========

“What is this now….”

Affection? Fulfill her affection?

Affection (애욕).

In literal terms, it means love (애) and desire (욕).

So, combining the two, it’s probably the desire to be loved.

Anyway, I thought I had given her quite a lot of love when I met her, but seeing her still in a needy state made me lose my mind.

It’s not like pouring water into a bottomless pit, and even though I raised her tier, it feels like it’s just the beginning.

I thought of her as a yandere tsundere minefield ero-pro, but now she’s far exceeding the boundaries I had set.

Thinking like that, without even using an invitation, the bright-faced her suddenly appeared in front of me.

It seems like she already figured out how to come to my world freely.

“Husband! I can now freely travel between your world and the other side, strange messages started appearing in front of my eyes….”

Taken aback, I looked at her, and she smiled and said.

“Husband, why are you suddenly like this? Aren’t you happy that I can now appear in front of you?”

“No, I’m happy. But a bit surprised….”

Yes, no matter how obsessed she may seem, she’s just a woman who likes me.

And the fact that such obsession manifests to claim my love is quite lovely.

“Come here. I love you, Alia.”

I pulled her towards me and said, and she willingly came into my arms.

With her face buried in my chest, she said.

“I love you too, husband.”

….But as expected, with such simple affectionate gestures, there doesn’t seem to be any significant change in her affection deficiency.

=========

– 10% (She wants to receive even more affection, not missing a single inch of her body, even the ones hidden from her own eyes.)

It seemed that a different approach was needed to satisfy her desires.

After fidgeting in my arms for a while, she showed me one of her arms and said, “Ah, this is not the right time. Look, husband. I found this at home. If you manipulate this like this, you can make an elf’s long ears look like a human’s.”

As she manipulated her forearm, the distinctively long elf ears quickly shortened and shrank into ordinary human-sized ears.

Well, in a fantasy world, it’s not surprising to find an artifact like this for elves to hide in human society.

“But if we had this kind of thing, you should have told me beforehand….”

I wondered how much she had to struggle to hide those ears until now….

“I didn’t know about the existence of this artifact until today either. I remembered my grandmother’s words and searched for it.”

Then Aliyah, with a rough expression, complained, “Besides… I don’t want to show my false appearance to you, husband. I will only use this when showing my appearance to people in your world, not just in front of you.”

She emphasized that her human appearance was strictly for external use only….

Well, there’s no need for her to go to such lengths to show that appearance in front of me.

Still, I wished she had found it sooner.

Anyway, as she, now in human form, excitedly spoke, “So, husband, can I now officially operate in your world? Once that happens, there’s no turning back. I will definitely become a famous person and publicly declare you as my husband. It seems easy to do with this thing called the internet.”

Yes, now that she can hide her ears, it shouldn’t be difficult for her to gain fame as she desires.

But…

“I’m not someone who likes to boast….”

“It doesn’t matter. Your worth is enough for me to know.”

Oh well, fine. Do as you please.

Although my face felt a bit hot, it was worth it if it made her happy.

After all, wasn’t that what I had resolved to do yesterday?

I didn’t expect her to find a way to hide her long ears so quickly, so I had already given her permission to do as she pleased.

I just hope she’s satisfied with this much.

I did it not only for the sake of the app but also because I sometimes wished to see her happy, even if it meant a bit of embarrassment.

And I wouldn’t stay as a D-rank hunter forever.

“Got it.”

As I replied, Aliyah grabbed my hand tightly.

She said, as if moved, “….Thank you as always, husband. I’m really lucky to have met you.”

“Yeah….”

.

.

.

“….Do you have a girlfriend?”

“It’s not a girlfriend, but someone I want to be with.”

“Haha, I envy you.”

With that, we took a taxi and had a conversation that seemed familiar somewhere, heading back to the Hunter Association.

I didn’t usually visit this place so often, but it seemed like I was coming here too frequently lately, so I entered the association building with Aliyah.

Before entering the association, I gave Aliyah one last warning.

“So, from now on, Aliyah, you are…”

“Husband, I’ve heard this several times. So, you want me to introduce myself as a foreigner who secretly stowed away from the Philippines to Korea, right?”

It was a very obvious statement, but the identification that would prove her identity simply did not exist on Earth in the first place.

Therefore, what I was going to show Aliyah from now on was the immigration to Korea and the issuance of an ID card due to being a typical hunter.

High-ranking hunters are valuable assets welcomed not only in Korea but anywhere in the world.

Involved in some powerful crime, but as long as it wasn’t related to that, her ambiguous background could easily be brushed aside.

As the chaos caused by the gates was somewhat settled, the country that had found stability was known to be Korea, among a few others.

In such tumultuous regions, there were fierce struggles going on under the surface to bring in even one more high-ranking hunter, a widely spread rumor among hunters in secret.

So, if she were to inquire about her place of origin…

“Answer as if you know nothing. Since she’s a B-rank Awakened, they’ll most likely let it slide.”

“Understood, boss.”

And so, by some stroke of luck, we drew a ticket at the quiet association, and as we waited, our turn approached.

“Hunter number 52! Is Hunter number 52 here?!”

“Yes, here! Let’s go, Alia.”

“Okay. I’ll go right away, boss.”

Approaching the reception desk, a female employee greeted us with a professional demeanor.

“Yes, what brings you here?”

“Well, I brought a friend who wants to immigrate to Korea for the Awakened selection process.”

“The Awakened… selection process?”

Immediately, the receptionist’s demeanor changed from her gaze.

“The person next to you…”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Where are you from?”

“The Philippines.”

“And your Awakened grade is…”

“B.”

“B grade?! Are you sure about that? Can you prove it?”

“Yes.”

“Um… wait. This is not a matter I can handle… No, this is a task I’ve only heard about in passing…”

And with that, the receptionist hurriedly made a phone call somewhere.

“Yes, yes. It seems like she’s a B-rank hunter… wanting to apply for immigration through the Awakened selection process… Yes, yes.”

Then, she led us inside the association.

“Haha. Shall we go inside and discuss this further?”

It seemed like the conversation was about to get lengthy from now on.
