Several more days passed by.

It may sound obvious, but it wasn’t like they only spent time together having sex since returning from her parents’ house.

…It may be hard to believe, but it was true.

=========

– The user is moved to the designated meeting place.

=========

“Here, take this.”

“What is this?”

“It’s the medicine you took before.”

“Huh, are you really giving me that medicine again? I told you not to do this….”

Well, due to the constraint of having to conduct a mandatory match once a week, he had to meet her in the martial arts world at least once.

“Fine, since you don’t want anything, just take it. Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet.”

“…I won’t refuse.”

=========

[Trait, Negative: The negative effects of the ‘Ju Hwa Ip Ma (A)’ have been partially alleviated.]

=========

=========

[The shattered Danjeon has slightly recovered.]

=========

=========

[The user’s match partner, Ju Hwa Yeon, has had their lifespan extended by 15 days.]

[Trait, Negative: The deadline (SS) has slightly retreated.]

=========

Spending time taking care of her in the martial arts world….

.

.

.

And other things like….

“Hello. Nice to meet you.”

“Hello.”

“Hello, I’m Lee Sung Woo, the newcomer to this party.”

Engaging in party hunts with the group that returned alive from the Hound Gate incident.

The party leader they had met at the time had suggested irregularly exploring dungeons together.

“Haha. Nowadays, even E-rank gates require at least one hunter with a D-rank hunter license to enter, so we survived thanks to that.”

Due to the increasing frequency of monsters appearing in dungeon gates that didn’t match their grade.

Not only that, but the monsters in all dungeon gates were getting stronger overall.

As a result, the hunter authorities responsible for managing all gates and hunters nationwide seemed to be going through a very chaotic time….

And the hunters themselves were confused by the changing policies of the association every day.

And there was also something personally confusing for me,

“Um…. Suhyun, you’re not from a guild, right?”

“No, I’m not.”

The female mage who used fire magic during the Hound Gate incident.

She was showing a bit too much interest in me, which made me slightly uncomfortable.

“Wow…. that’s really impressive. It’s rare for someone from a Road background who doesn’t receive any sponsorship to rise to a D-rank hunter.”

Well, because there weren’t as many awakened individuals fighting monsters fiercely as before.

“Is that a big deal? You said you didn’t have any potential to excel as a hunter during your awakening.”

So, even though they awakened, those whose abilities weren’t suitable for combat or who weren’t naturally aggressive lived ordinary lives, and those with talent or potential were trained by guilds or hunter training centers to become relatively high-level hunters (mostly D-rank, occasionally C-rank) and were active.

And below D-rank, E-rank hunters were mainly those who wanted to work as hunters but didn’t receive such support.

And hunters who didn’t get chosen by seeing such people and struggled at the bottom were called Road (street) origin hunters.

The reason my parents stopped me from becoming a hunter was mainly because I wanted to start as a Road origin.

Most Road origin hunters couldn’t escape E-rank and ended up retiring from the hunting industry.

“Still, you must have worked hard.”

Anyway, even those untalented hunters had to stand on the battlefield fiercely in the old days.

Now, in an environment where earning money became the priority, there were no people fighting so fiercely, and that’s why Road origin hunters who broke through such an environment and became D-rank hunters received the attention and admiration of many E-rank hunters.

I didn’t really care if she thought I was fighting for her or not, but her kindness towards me was definitely of that kind.

“Um… Suhyun, do you have a girlfriend?”

“Yes, I do.”

…That was pretty obvious.

“Ah… well, Suhyun is handsome and having a girlfriend wouldn’t be strange. But I’m fine with being the second choice. Nowadays, it’s not an unreasonable world to be in that kind of situation unless you’re engaged…”

“…Engaged?”

“Oh, you were engaged. Well, I’m fine with that.”

So, what’s the deal here?

“I’ll stop chit-chatting, Suhyun, and focus on the hunt for now…”

.

.

.

Anyway, after easily defeating the E-rank gate monster while having such a ridiculous conversation, I could see Alia waiting for me.

“Husband, it’s over… Who’s the woman next to you?”

I reflexively replied, “Huh? Oh, a coworker.”

And upon seeing that, the party leader and the party member I had just met today quickly made excuses and ran away.

“Um… Let’s meet next time, Suhyun.”

“…Thank you for your hard work today.”

No, don’t just leave me and run away together.

At least take the female wizard next to me.

“Oh, she’s Suhyun’s lover?”

“Suhyun…?”

…Wait, when did she start seeing me as her lover and trying to control who I’m with?

I never even gave her a chance to think that way.

“Hah.”

But honestly, it was too unbalanced for the two of them to stick together.

Sure, the female wizard wasn’t lacking in the chest department either, but compared to Alia, she fell short.

Alia’s physique, with breasts large enough to nurse five sets of twins and a wide pelvis that could easily bear multiple children, was a complete overpowering factor.

To be honest, the female wizard wagging her tail next to me wasn’t a match.

If she had tried to seduce me by shaking her hips, I wouldn’t have lost my mind and become an animal to pounce on her.

Seeing that I couldn’t take my eyes off her chest, Alia regained her composure and naturally pulled me into her arms, saying, “Husband, you did well today. Was there anything out of the ordinary?”

“Nothing really happened.”

“That’s a relief. You’ve worked hard, so now rest comfortably in my arms.”

“Ah…”

And upon seeing that, the female wizard who thought she was no match for Alia whimpered.

She said, “Then we should enjoy some private time as lovers now.”

In the end, unable to resist her overwhelming physique and advantageous position, we left, leaving the female wizard watching us helplessly.

Only after the female wizard disappeared from sight could I ask the emotionless Alia, “Are you mad?”

Alia, looking puzzled, asked, “Huh? What makes you think I’m mad? Husband.”

And I found her calm response even more terrifying.

I couldn’t even mention how obsessed she was with me on a regular basis.

But strangely, she was maintaining her composure.

She said, “Husband, don’t treat me like a fool. I’m not foolish enough to feel threatened by such an inadequate woman.”

Um… she’s not wrong, but why is she so confident…

Anyway, I had no choice but to agree with her words.

Of course, the female wizard wasn’t really ugly enough to be unable to compete, but she just couldn’t compare to the real elf, Alia.

“If I lose your attention, it’s because of my own mistakes, not because of that woman.”

And then she playfully nudged my son’s place with her huge buttocks.

Checking her self-esteem gauge, which had been on the rise lately, it seemed that engaging in more external activities had contributed to the increase.

=========

– 10(5up)(The closer the score is to 100, the more one believes they deserve to be loved.)

– There is some doubt within oneself about whether they can be a suitable match for the user.

– It pleases oneself to feel jealousy and admiration directed towards the app user.

=========

While I was glad to see her brightening up a bit, it seemed that my attempts at encouragement were not helpful, as she stubbornly pressed her buttocks inward like a scared cat when I patted her.

“Husband, I appreciate the touch, but please be careful. Being misunderstood as a pervert is not something that only your parents-in-law should worry about.”

And in that moment, another line was added to her self-esteem gauge.

=========

– (new!) Finding happiness in receiving the love of the app user as a more perfect version of herself, that is her joy.

=========

…Truly, even with her self-esteem being fulfilled, she remained the same as ever.
