17. Harem Festival.

“I didn’t expect you to come in person.”

“If there’s an adventurer who’s become such a hot topic, isn’t it my mission to come and see?”

 

 

A group of middle-aged men.

The one in the very center is someone that anyone with interest, and especially any adventurer, can’t help but know.

 

It’s D10, the Chairman and President of the Dungeon Cooperation Organization.

 

 

He, who shakes the world, personally came all the way to Gangnam, South Korea, Asia.

 

 

And beside him was a beautiful woman, a level 5 talent and his secretary. She almost certainly has the talent of a scout.

 

 

 

“More importantly, have you met with Branch Manager Agnes? She’s been staying here for quite a while.”

“Ah… yes. It seems she quite likes Korea.”

 

 

The Korean branch manager answered, sweating.

Of course, he couldn’t answer, ‘She has become his sex slave.’

He’ll find out someday, but for now, I have no choice but to answer appropriately.

 

 

‘When the hell did my life become like this….’

 

 

As he was feeling self-loathing, the Chairman looked around and said a word.

 

 

“By the way, I hear the scale of the red-light districts around the dungeons in Korea is quite significant?”

 

He asked in a subtle tone.

 

 

“Yes… since prostitution is illegal nationally, they’re effectively concentrated in the dungeon cities outside the law. The users are the same. Naturally, the scale has grown.”

“I see.”

“Tsk tsk… why do men even go to such places?”

 

The Chairman’s secretary interjected.

It could be seen as the secretary daring to be presumptuous, but the Chairman, already used to it, scratched his head with an embarrassed expression.

 

 

“Well… Hera-gun, men are animals of lust.”

 

She frowned even more.

 

 

“That’s an excuse. If you have reason, you should be able to control it. Don’t tell me… you’re planning to go to such a place here? Or are you expecting some kind of strange hospitality?”

“Of course not.”

 

 

The people around were quite embarrassed by the contrast to his usual calm and charismatic demeanor.

 

“Is it possible to meet someone named Yoo-Eun?”

“Well… he’s someone who doesn’t move as you wish… but I’ll put in a word.”

“Please do.”

“Uuuuuh~!”

“Yo, you worked hard!”

“You suffered!!”

 

 

Soldiers who were on high alert, yet glancing and looking around.

At the end of their gaze, Lara-ssi, wearing clothes designed for easy movement but still quite flashy, was stretching her arms out wide.

 

 

“Swinging it around after a long time really relieves stress.”

 

Hunting in the dungeon with her was about 2 hours.

As much as her attack and defense of over 30,000, she showed quite a performance.

 

I actually wondered if she was subtly trying to seduce me… but she really agreed to my suggestion to experience the dungeon, and she only hunted purely.

 

 

Tch. It’s a bit disappointing.

 

 

I’ll eat her someday, but still, it’s disappointing.

That plump ass and sturdy thighs… it would be nice to have my face stuck there….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

“But, how are you so strong?”

 

Although various things are still in progress, the main event begins with her performance.

At an early dinner before the performance, Lara-ssi asked.

 

 

For reference, we’re at a Korean BBQ place.

Of course, it’s chartered.

 

 

“I was born with it.”

“Hmm~ Talent?”

 

 

When we were in the dungeon, I showed about 1% of my power. Even 1% is 2.29 million attack power. My stats exploded while making Henrietta my concubine.

 

“I don’t have talent yet.”

“Liar. How can you be like that without talent?”

“I have a unique job in the world. I’ve been chosen.”

“Oh my. How arrogant. But it suits you.”

 

 

She laughed, cutting the sizzling pork belly chunks with scissors.

 

“Since I’m older, I’ll grill the meat.”

 

 

She smiled, as expected of Korea’s top female singer + top-class adventurer. Her looks are absolutely killer.

 

 

“Oh… Lara-ssi grilling pork belly, I’d eat it even if it was $100 per piece.”

“I’ll give it to Yoo-Eun-ssi for free. Call it an investment for the future.”

“Investment?”

“Yes. Investment. You declared war on the Dungeon Association before, right? I think you’ll conquer the dungeon world soon… I’m trying to get in line early, hoho.”

 

Declared war… did I do something like that….

 

 

“The world was really turned upside down back then. I heard Japan, which was broadcasting, was especially crazy.”

“Ah! That time!”

 

 

When the Punipuni kids came out… come to think of it, I did say something similar. It’s a bit lacking to call it a declaration of war, though.

 

 

“That’s right. I’m going to conquer the dungeon world. I can’t pay huge membership fees to a weak Dungeon Cooperation Organization like that.”

“Please take care of me then.”

 

She raised her glass.

Cheers with a clink.

Her smile held a hint of sexiness.

“Waaaaah!!!”

“Lara! Lara!”

 

The night had already grown dark.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in Gangnam Square, where the stage was set up.

The reason was the performance team, including Lara.

 

 

Some were calling for other idols or singers, but most were chanting Lara’s name.

Her popularity was at its peak.

 

 

 

Breaking through such shouts, the first to appear on stage was my Seo-hyun.

The practitioner who actually runs my country in place of my incompetent self!

 

She was wearing a maid outfit as always, and as it was an outfit made for my enjoyable sex life, it was a dress that was neat yet exuded a unique sexiness.

 

 

Thanks to that, the people who were disappointed that someone other than Lara came up gradually exclaimed.

 

 

 

 

Tap tap.

 

 

“Ah. Ah. Microphone microphone.”

 

After testing it simply, she opened her mouth.

Silence lingered in the square as if in silent prayer.

 

 

“Hello everyone in the square. I am Im Seo-hyun, the vice-guild master of the Harem Corps and the number one head maid.”

“Woo, waaaaah!!!”

 

 

After a few seconds, thunderous applause poured out.

Mainly from men.

 

 

Because a huge screen was projected in the sky for people far away, her figure and beauty were so well visible.

Even I, who touch and embrace her every day, am aroused, so how much more would other guys be.

 

 

 

“She’d devour any ordinary celebrity.”

“If she’s a maid… she wouldn’t be in a massage parlor, right?”

“Are you even saying that, you moron.”

“Sigh… I want to bang her… you lucky bastard…!”

 

 

 

I’ll forgive the obscene remarks towards her. After all, Seo-hyun is mine. You guys can’t even touch her. Kuhehe.

 

 

“First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who attended this event, which commemorates the birth and rise of the Harem Corps and further lays the foundation for the Harem Empire.”

 

 

She continues to speak skillfully like an MC running an event.

I don’t know where she learns such things, but anyway, she’s a capable girl.

 

 

 

“To give you an overview of the schedule, the event will conclude today with performances by ‘Lady Generation,’ ‘Funky Girls,’ ‘Punipuni Girls,’ ‘Lara,’ and other Korean and international groups, starting in about 10 minutes. The ‘Arena’ that you’re looking forward to will open tomorrow morning. The arena will be held for a total of 10 days, with preliminary rounds, main rounds, and a 32-player tournament between applicants.”

“Oooooh!”

“Those who make it to the top 32 will have the opportunity to challenge members of our Harem Corps. For convenience, we have divided them into three grades: ‘Maid Class,’ ‘Executive Class,’ and ‘Guild Master Class.’ You can find a detailed list of each grade by downloading the smartphone app, ‘Haremple,’ so please refer to it.”

 

“Damn it, everything’s good, but please work on the naming….”

“Why is everything Harem?”

“The guild master is a pervert.”

 

Hey. I can hear everything.

 

 

“A huge prize will be awarded to those who succeed in the challenge. We will give a prize of $1 million to those who defeat the ‘Maid Class,’ especially the 2nd maid.”

 

“Was it real….”

“The 2nd maid is the weakest force in the Harem Corps, right? $1 million is 1.2 billion won, wow….”

“Should I try it too?”

“Yeah. You’ll die.”

 

“A prize of $3 million will be awarded to those who defeat the 1st maid.”

 

Gulp.

 

 

The sound of swallowing saliva is heard here and there.

I think I would have the same reaction if I were in their position.

 

3 million dollars! 3.6 billion won in Korean currency!

Of course, you’d swallow your saliva. Even though it’s just a maid.

 

 

Hehe…

But there won’t be many who can win? The average attack and defense of the 2nd maid is 65,000 right now. She’ll beat Lara in two turns.

 

 

Not to mention the 1st maid, the executive class is even more untouchable.

 

 

Yuna-ssi and Sora-nuna are… even Henrietta is… let’s stop talking.

 

 

 

 

“We are confident that this person cannot be graded and that no one can beat them,”

 

Seo-hyun raised the tension by saying the word ‘last.’

 

 

“If you win against my most respected and beloved master, Yoo-Eun-nim, you will receive a prize of ‘$500 million (about 600 billion won in Korean currency).'”

 

“!!!!!”

 

Hey. Don’t say things like that. It’s embarrassing.

 

“D, did I mishear…?”

“What did you hear…?”

“500 million dollars.”

“Yeah. I heard that too.”

“Damn… does that bastard have money to spare?”

“Isn’t he too full of confidence???”

 

 

The square became explosively noisy.

A prize of 500 million dollars.

It’s a truly enormous amount of money.

 

 

Actually…

Once the building is built, I won’t have that much money…

 

But it doesn’t matter.

Because no one can beat me.

 

 

No, I’m sure it’ll end with the executive class, let alone me.

 

 

 

 

 

As time passed and the commotion subsided, Seo-hyun opened her mouth again.

 

 

“To prevent reckless challenges, you must deposit collateral equal to 10% of the prize money you can receive in order to challenge. For example, to challenge me, an executive class, you must deposit cash or goods worth $800,000 as collateral. However, in the case of female adventurers, you can put your life and body as collateral.”

 

“Wh, what…?!”

“Damn… was this the goal!!!”

 

Of course.
