Ch.104104. A Special Night for Jeong Euiseok and Lee Rua

“Lord! I heard tomorrow is your birthday to celebrate! I’ll gather all the subordinates and prepare a festival….”

“Kid, didn’t we send out a general notice not to mention the Lord’s birthday? Get out of here now!”

A high-energy rookie approached, but a quick-witted guy stopped him with a knock on the head.

Just as he said, I had ordered the organization not to celebrate or tell anyone about it.

“Want to have dinner together after we finish work today?”

It was Lu-a’s suggestion. I happily agreed.

I was thinking about making restaurant reservations, but Lu-a had already set everything up.

That evening, Lu-a came out wearing a dress, putting serious effort into her hairstyle and makeup.

She usually preferred black, but today her outfit was predominantly white, which felt refreshing.

Though her manner of speaking and personality remained the same.

We clinked wine glasses while enjoying the night view at a luxury hotel restaurant in Italy.

“You chose wine as the main feature?”

“Yeah. At first I thought it was delicious because Lena tricked me, but I got used to it as I kept drinking.”

“Must be costing you a lot.”

“There are many wines with similar taste that are cheap compared to premium ones.”

Entry-level wine, I see.

“Why did you tell your subordinates not to celebrate your birthday?”

“It’s annoying. I get tired of giving the same response to each and every person.”

“I see. I don’t know that feeling.”

“Next year, throw a big party. If you combine it with a New Year’s celebration, it’ll be easy to gather people.”

“Next year… Yeah. I’ll try that.”

Lu-a smiled and took a sip of wine. She seemed to be in a good mood.

“Still, I understand how you feel. It’s nice to receive congratulations only from special people. I was happy that you gave me gifts last year and this year too.”

“I’ll give you more.”

“Good. But tomorrow is my turn.”

Lu-a looked happy. We shared various conversations while eating, just like usual.

We talked about Vengeance and the world. Controlling the entire world is difficult. When you solve one problem, another one pops up.

I feel like my thoughts get organized when I talk to Lu-a. Maybe that’s why I enjoy conversations with her.

We also discussed the final scenario. The ability level at this pace is sufficient, so we just need to raise stats.

Soon we could hold another UVC to raise the villains’ levels and prepare for the Incursion. Lu-a actively shared her opinions.

The dinner time passed quickly.

“I’m so full. Ui-seok, was it delicious?”

“Yes.”

“Seems like you enjoyed it.”

“This quality isn’t a common experience. How did you understand that?”

“I understand. I realized that you don’t lack emotions, you just express less. Or more accurately, they’ve been reduced.”

Probably the effect of cutting away unnecessary things after becoming a villain.

“Shall we go? There’s somewhere I want to take you.”

“Sure.”

I held Lu-a’s hand and moved together.

The next moment, a spectacular view unfolded before my eyes.

A long waterfall. The water flowed refreshingly but not excessively.

The untouched rocky cliff with its strange formation created an open, majestic yet free feeling.

Though it was night, it wasn’t dark. Fireflies floating around illuminated us.

Countless stars filled the sky.

It wasn’t just scenery; it was a masterpiece.

We were appreciating the view from the opposite cliff.

“Do you like it?”

“Very much.”

“Heh. I’ve been wandering around the quantum realm. I found this place by chance. Nice, right? Nobody even knows it exists.”

“Where is this?”

“Secret.”

Lu-a removed the pin setting her hair and threw off her high heels.

Without giving me a chance to speak, she dove down the cliff that must have been 20 meters high.

Splash!

“Puha!”

Lu-a emerged from the water, refreshingly flipping her bangs back.

Looks fun.

I followed Lu-a and jumped in. When I submerged underwater, I had the illusion that it was brighter than outside.

—And then, I felt something on my lips.

Lu-a, who had followed me underwater, held my face with both hands and kissed me. Her tongue, which naturally pushed in, tasted more intensely of lime than usual.

If our usual kisses were meant to express affection, this one was a means to unleash desire.

Lu-a’s movements, having removed all limits to thoroughly explore and taste me, writhed more intensely than ever before.

And this time, I didn’t refuse.

The lust value that had been at 0 for a long time began to rise little by little.

At the same time, Lu-a’s pure passion, curiosity, and heat gradually filled my lungs, blood, and mind.

I wrapped my arms around her waist. Her thin waist, which seemed like it could fit within two spans of my fingers, allowed me to slightly feel her ribs.

Lu-a looked at me after pulling her face away.

Her shy expression had already turned red with anticipation and ecstasy, waiting only to become a woman.

That expectation was soon fulfilled.

***

We moved to various places throughout the night, intertwining our bodies.

In the end, the place Lu-a liked most was my room.

“I wonder why people in the world created other forms of entertainment? This one should be enough.”

In the morning, Lu-a muttered while sticking close to me under the blanket. Her body still twitched occasionally, perhaps still enjoying the afterglow.

“Because you get bored if you only do one thing?”

“Have you ever gotten bored of it?”

“No.”

“I don’t think I’ll ever get bored either.”

Lu-a nuzzled her face against my chest.

She was quite lovable, so I hugged her.

***

Lu-a said she wanted to stay with me all day but couldn’t monopolize me because there were other people.

Half-driven out, I went to the office where Lena was.

“Hello, Ui-seok!”

It wasn’t Lena but Yoo Cha-mi.

I’m still not used to that refreshingly smiling face.

“Is this business?”

“Oh my, you can speak comfortably. I heard from Lena that it’s your birthday. Share this cake with all the members later. It’s delicious!”

“Okay.”

“This is a gift from Lena.”

“From Lena?”

“Hehe, you don’t need to be so wary. There’s nothing dangerous in it. I’ll give you mine when we get closer.”

She seems to know that I don’t particularly welcome gifts. She did say she shares knowledge with Lena.

“Or should I have given it to you? After all, I’m also your lover, just like Lu-a.”

“You don’t need to be bound by that. It’s not a publicly announced fact, and that contract is being treated as a strictly confidential document.”

“Still, I genuinely want to be close with you. You’ve helped Lena a lot, haven’t you?”

“I’m the one who received help. Lena is capable.”

“My, thank you for highly evaluating my lovely sister. Lena may not express it, but she’s very grateful to you.”

Cha-mi pressed her body against mine. I felt firm, curved sensations on my arm.

“How about it? I don’t want to call it repayment, but I could do something befitting a lover.”

“Is this an assassination attempt? Or perhaps a plan to make Lena kill me.”

“Lena saved her body to return it to me. So it doesn’t matter now. I appreciate it, but that child was too overprotective.”

“I think it was appropriate.”

Cha-mi sighed.

“Think about it. I was revived, but my body changed like this. Of course, my hormones are different too. And for such a long period, living in celibacy? I was originally quite a person with desires.”

“Your speech is quite direct.”

“Hehe, because it’s you, Ui-seok. We’re lovers, aren’t we? I don’t usually talk like this, even to Lena!”

“She’ll find out anyway now.”

Cha-mi brought her face close to mine. Standing on her tiptoes, she whispered in my ear.

“Lena is sleeping right now.”

I crossed my arms and didn’t respond.

Seeing this, Cha-mi became more impatient and deliberately started letting me hear her breathing near my ear.

She lowered her head slightly and lightly kissed my cheek.

“…lime?”

She muttered like that.

“Kuk kuk.”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Did you think of something funny? Tell me too.”

Cha-mi tilted her head and met my eyes. Her pupils sparkled with innocent eyes.

“A funny story, huh. I don’t know much about those, so I’ll ask you something I’ve been curious about, Cha-mi. Lena built up L Corporation for you to run it. Why did you want such a big company?”

“Because when you’re in a high position, you can hear the stories of more people. I wanted to help as many people as possible.”

“More fundamentally?”

“Fundamentally…”

Cha-mi rolled her eyes, continuing her thoughts, then answered.

“Because you need a lot of power to share power…”

“No.”

I sat on the desk and continued.

“Cha-mi’s operating principle is exactly the opposite of Somi’s. That’s what I’ve concluded after talking with you for a while.”

“Opposite?”

“If Somi is a person who moves to sacrifice herself, Cha-mi is a person who moves to prevent others from being sacrificed because of her.”

“You couldn’t bear to see your father obsessed with child education and breaking down, you couldn’t bear to see Lena suffering instead, you couldn’t be full from someone else’s poverty.”

“So you wanted to be in a position where you could distribute the wealth of L Corporation, which is your foundation.”

“Y-yes. You’re perceptive, Ui-seok.”

“Well, Lena probably couldn’t understand. A villain’s logic is much simpler and more intuitive. That’s why she was so happy when she discovered Somi.”

“Maybe so. It would be fun to talk about this topic with Lena next time.”

“Haha, yes. Be sure to tell Lena.”

Cha-mi’s expression became slightly uncomfortable.

I added:

“By the way.”

“Yes?”

“The lime scent from Lu-a comes from dark matter residue. Only ability users can smell it.”

Cha-mi froze in place as if time had stopped.

“You should go now. Give my regards to Lena, Miss Cha-mi.”

Cha-mi turned her body sharply and walked click-clack toward the office door.

She stopped at the door and asked me:

“…Do I have a scent too?”

“Winter pear.”

“…I see.”

Bang!

The door closed roughly.
