………

…I had a dream from the past.

It was a dream from the time when I would have been chattering away about children’s detective anime that was airing at the time.

“Hey, Chang-gi, you really can’t get it right. You were doing well with the deductions until the middle, why did you mess up at the crucial part?”

“That suspect lady was clearly flustered. Why did you suddenly point to someone else?”

– Just because the lady was flustered doesn’t mean she should be pinned as the culprit.

“You got it right until the middle though?”

– Hey, but the important clue didn’t come up. How could you deduce her as the culprit?

“That darn important clue, the protagonist pretends to know something only they would during the climax.”

“Why wait for evidence that might not even show up?”

-Uh… hmm. Is that so?

“We can only figure it out based on reactions, right?”

-Still, if I don’t have solid evidence, I don’t want to accuse. It would be too pitiful.

“Why are you taking it so seriously?”

“It’s just a comic after all.”

“What do you expect from a comic where someone kills a person because the person in front of them sneezed?”

-Is that so?

-Yeah, maybe I took it too seriously.

“Idiot!”

“You’re terrible at deducing!”

“Don’t make assumptions!”

Hahaha!

Hahaha!

Hahahaha… hah….

………

…With that laughter, I woke up from the dream.

“…What kind of ridiculous dream was that?”

It was a dream that made me feel strange since the morning. It felt like something that happened a long time ago, but I couldn’t remember.

But where am I?

Thinking it might be the guild home, I grabbed the warm blanket and got up, only to be greeted by the familiar smell of the old man.

“It’s home….”

A shabby one-room apartment. My own little castle.

Despite clothes scattered around and dishes left soaking in water, somehow the room was tidy.

“Why is the room so clean?”

I rubbed my eyes and focused.

I heard the sound of the washing machine. The clothes I had carelessly taken off were neatly arranged, the trash can was empty. There wasn’t a speck of dust on the floor, and a savory soybean paste soup aroma filled the air.

“Ah.”

There was a dining table.

Did someone prepare food and leave?

Feeling a chill down my spine, thinking someone must have visited, I noticed a note on the table.

[Sorry for borrowing your key without asking. You were sleeping so comfortably, I didn’t want to wake you up.]

[I couldn’t sleep at the construction site, so I brought myself to your place.]

[But your room was messy and stuffy, so I cleaned up and left some food for you.]

[Warm it up and eat when you wake up.]

[If you enjoyed it, call me again next time.]

[○○○-○○○○-○○○○ ← Here’s my number♡]

[A cow that loves Chang-gi so much-♪]

“It wasn’t a dream….”

Leaving the house without a home-cooked meal for years. I hastily warmed up the soybean paste soup and slightly cooled rice, filling my empty stomach, overwhelmed with gratitude.

“This tastes so damn good.”

It was the taste of home.

I know how to make soybean paste soup, but this tasted different, it had a genuine flavor.

And a bunch of my favorite enoki mushrooms…

Why does the crazy woman searching for erotic novels in the middle of the night act so lovely?

My heart races even though I don’t know her face!

“What am I getting myself into? Who is this woman?”

I’ve probably used up all my luck in life.

I can’t meet such a woman twice.

I’m getting anxious.

“Let’s calm down. I can’t afford to act foolishly and lose such a great woman like those idiots on the internet!”

If I think about how I clung to her waist like a child at the end of yesterday, I’m definitely an idiot.

Yet she said she likes me.

Yet she said she submits to me.

Even though she won me over, the [System Window] stated that she submitted to me….

“Is the castle owner someone peculiar?”

It’s a story you can tell just by looking at them. I mean, it’s not surprising that a top ranker would have such a castle.

Not wanting to miss this opportunity, I quickly finished my meal and saved the number I received on my phone.

“What about the sticky note?”

I hesitated about throwing it away, but then remembered that as someone who often finds themselves in battles, it might come in handy.

“What if my phone breaks down and I lose the number~?” It could happen, right?

I stuck the sticky note on the fridge with a magnet. Just to make sure I don’t forget.

“Sigh.”

After finishing my meal, I got lost in thought for a moment.

I still feel itchy down there. This kind of sensation is completely new to me. It feels like being tightly squeezed in a triple structure… Could she be a monster after all?

No, that’s going too far.

But to think that such a woman actually exists in this world…

“Come to think of it, I’m in my pajamas again.”

Lately, why are there so many people changing my clothes for me? I glanced at my panties subtly.

─Impressed.

“Ah…. What is this?”

There are ‘kiss marks’ on my member.

Clearly visible kisses made with lipstick.

As if proving “I love you sincerely” through actions, not just one or two, but several deep marks were left.

Judging from the scene, there might even be some on the balls. They may not be visible, but perhaps even on the buttocks.

“What, doing things that not even a prostitute who charges tens of thousands does… How much do you like me?”

A behavior that clearly shows a lack of affection.

Efforts to be loved by a man, charming and endearing.

No way. Just looking at it makes me shiver.

“I conquered such a great woman,” and as a man, my self-esteem soared.

By making my belongings kiss, by making me surrender beneath her, a satisfying desire for conquest stirred in my balls.

“No, you filthy wench. It’s only been a day since you were treated like a queen. If I think about what we did until dawn today, it was just a one-night stand. You better control yourself, you bastard.”

Slap! Slap!

I hit my member with my palm twice to calm down the erection and headed straight to the bathroom. It’s a shame, but I erased the kiss marks. Now that things have turned out this way, there might be a need for it later.

I’m practically a eunuch now.

A eunuch who keeps his beloved in his heart.

Starting today, I deeply resolved to manage it as cleanly as my member.

*

“Ah, Mr. Changgi.”

“Hello everyone. The sky is bright, the atmosphere at home is harmonious, birds are chirping, and even the smell of flowers is sweet, ah~ it’s a very good morning.”

Nodding.

“Oh my, what’s this? Have you had some good news?”

“It’s good news. I joined Chomok and it seems luck is on my side. I can’t explain it in detail, but this guild seems really nice.”

“Really? Congratulations, even if I don’t know what it is. It’s true that our guild is great. Your first impression was a bit off, so…”

“Oh, everyone has already apologized, why are you saying that again?”

Hahaha.

Hehehe.

Arriving at the guild home, I chatted lightly with the receptionists and cautiously asked.

Since I have a connection with Sungyeon, I didn’t want to seem too pushy in case it appeared like I was demanding something.

“I’d like to meet the guild master. Is he in his room by any chance?”

“Yes, he is in, but…”

The answer was vague, trailing off at the end.

“What’s the matter?”

“Well, I can’t tell other guild members about this… So I’ll ask, are you two friends?”

“Yes? Yes, we are friends. We maintain a certain distance in public situations, but it’s not a stiff relationship.”

They smiled broadly, saying they found someone they could trust.

“Then I’ll tell you. Today, Sungyeon doesn’t seem to be feeling well.”

“She came back early in the morning, her legs were shaking, and when asked where she had been late at night, she said she went to the hospital because she wasn’t feeling well…”

Early in the morning?

“Isn’t it because of the Golden Tower these days?”

“Maybe. There’s a lot that person keeps hidden from us as well. That’s why I’m asking, could you go up and check on Yongtae for me? If that person falls apart, our guild will fall apart too, so I’m really worried.”

“I’m fine with that. I actually came to see the guild master’s face.”

“Thank you. I’ll inform Yongtae right away that you’re coming up.”

“Understood.”

After connecting the line from the reception to the upper floor and exchanging a few words, the person nodded.

– You can go up.

I was worried about the possibility of being rejected, but a simple OK sign was given.

“Indeed, you’re a good friend. Our guild master is quite strict even with me. When they’re not feeling well or their condition is bad, they don’t meet anyone.”

“What about the vice guild master?”

“That person is an exception. But still, there are times when they refuse. They would have definitely refused on a day like today, but it seems they allowed it because it’s you, Changgi.”

“By saying that, it feels like I’m getting special treatment, so I feel embarrassed.”

“Oh, come on, we’re friends. In fact, since Changgi is the only one who would grant such a request, everyone is secretly hoping for it.”

From what I’ve heard, it seems like there are many things being kept hidden even among guild members.

Why so secretive… Does Seres know something?

“So, that’s why they’re the vice guild master. Looks like they found a good person.”

At that time, I denied it, but could it be that the two are dating? Otherwise, there would be no reason to keep underwear locked up.

Hmm.

Another missed deduction?

I don’t know.

“I’ll go up.”

“Understood. Please take care of our guild master, Changgi.”

Although the tone was somewhat suspicious, I shrugged it off and took the elevator up.

The top floor.

Where Song Seongyeon, Seres, and the senior members of the guild were located.

In the middle of the wide corridor reminiscent of a grand hotel, I knocked on the large, clean door.

“Seongyeon, are you in there?”

Knock, knock, knock.

“Seongyeon?”

Knock, knock, knock, knock…

It was so quiet that I wondered if no one was inside, but soon there was a loud bang! A grand noise greeted me.

『Changgi?』

“It’s me. Can I come in?”

『Just a moment! I’m busy right now!』

“Uh… Sorry, I didn’t know you were busy. Should I come back later?”

『No! You don’t have to! Just a moment, give me 5 minutes! No, wait! Give me 10 minutes!』

Loud footsteps could be heard from the room, as if someone was running around and organizing things.

What on earth is happening inside?

It felt like the atmosphere when parents entered a teenager’s room… Could they have been caught doing something?

“Haah~! It’s okay now! Come in!”

“What’s okay? What were you doing inside to make such a fuss?”

“Ahaha…”

My friend Song Seongyeon greeted me with an awkward laugh.

His face was flushed red, covered in sweat, and he was breathing heavily, clearly flustered.

“You…”

“Yes?”

“Were you just holding your daughter in there?”

“…No!”

He hesitated.

Was I right?

I must be.

Judging by his reaction, it’s 100% true.

“What’s wrong, are you also a guy?”

“I’m not a pervert! Why are you saying such things all of a sudden! If you’re going to say that kind of thing, close the door!”

His reaction was intense, so I teased him with a chuckle.

‘You got it right~!’ I thought, ‘I’m not!’ vehemently denying it while pushing me away.

Intense denial often leads to intense affirmation.

Hmm.

No matter how high-ranking you are, in private moments, you’re just an endlessly adorable friend.
