Chapter 1049: Side Story – Time with Do Yehee (1)

The Spatial Pouch was filled first with the Sandworm’s core and teeth, and then the rest was filled up as much as possible with its outer skin. Excluding enough space to fit one Dungeon Gate.

Both materials are utilized in the crafting of Hunter weapons and armor, so they were materials that would definitively be helpful if only secured.

‘I wonder if she’d be a little interested if I brought it to Areum later.’

Especially since this tooth part can be used as a spearhead even if ground just a little, it seemed like a good idea to produce throwing spears in large quantities.

The outer skin seems like it would be good if appropriately modified into armor… if made for the purpose of Hye-eun or Eunyoung Noona using it, it might suit them quite well.

‘Since I know Sandworms appear, I don’t need to secure any more dungeons for the time being.’

Even if just Sandworm materials are secured regularly, financial problems in guild management are mostly solved. It’s a monster with such high monetary value when caught once.

Since I know roughly what level the remaining monsters are too, from now on I can go to subjugate them alone, or perhaps it wouldn’t be bad to go subjugate them together with Jung No-eul, the only S-rank Hunter in our guild besides me.

‘Thinking about it, Jung No-eul’s party will also need to expand its members soon.’

At first, with the thought that it would be good if Hye-eun’s empty spot was filled, I did put her into Sky Blue Shield, but right now, Sky Blue Shield is practically in a state of being on hiatus.

Since Hye-eun, Cha Yuri, and Han Min-ah got pregnant one after another, what’s left were the two people whose communication skills are the biggest problem, and those two people had no reason to form a party on their own amongst themselves.

In the first place, both of them have similar positions, so there’s no reason to form a party anyway. It was because Jung No-eul could substitute the role of a shield bearer that I entrusted it to her temporarily, but her original position was closer to a melee combatant.

For Jung No-eul’s sake too, there was a need to newly find party members who fit well with her. If possible, perhaps Jung No-eul’s former party members who supposedly retired.

‘I’ll have to ask Jung No-eul about that part separately later.’

The people who come to mind right now are ‘Seong Chae-eun of Scorching Heat’, perhaps, or ‘Min Hyunyoung, the Blue Bullet’.

Since I don’t have personal connections with people like that, in the end, there’s no choice but to get introduced by Jung No-eul and meet them.

If the reason they retired is the reason I’m thinking, then… well, it means I can help in any way.

Thus, after taking care of the Sandworm materials as well, the three of us stepped outside.

-Swoosh.

“This should do it. We’ll take care of the dungeon personally, so you can proceed with the construction work again.”

“…Is it an awakened ability?”

“It’s not an awakened ability, it’s one of the artifacts obtained inside the dungeon.”

“Ah, I, I see…”

Seeing the dungeon being easily stored using the Spatial Pouch, President Kim Joo-ah was flustered along with a surprised reaction. The exploration supplies that were painstakingly prepared became not very useful, but it’s probably not particularly important.

Normally, it would have taken several days, so finishing the gate destruction work in just a few hours is practically the same. Just eliminating the time loss that should have originally occurred was probably enough.

“Are we going back now, Do Yehee? Since we came all the way to Dubai, it’s rare, so I wanted to do some sightseeing before returning.”

“Sightseeing? Ah, right. You might not have a chance to come to a place like this again.”

“Ah, speaking of which, I have prepared a hotel for the three of you to use while staying in Dubai. If it’s okay with you, I’ll arrange for you to stay in our Siwoon Hotel rooms while you sightsee.”

“Since she says so, what do you say?”

“Then I’ll be in your debt, President Kim Joo-ah. Please prepare three rooms, including one for this person and one for Seolhwa.”

“Of course, you should, President Do Yehee.”

President Kim Joo-ah, seeming to be in a good mood and with a bright expression thanks to me finishing the work quickly, was preparing the accommodation, so during that time, I spent time with Do Yehee alone for the first time in a while.

“Today, your leg doesn’t seem to be cramping?”

“…At that time, it was just suddenly because I went into the water, so it couldn’t be helped. Why are you bringing up a story that’s already been over half a year?”

“Just telling you to be careful. Your swimsuit looks good on you.”

“…I didn’t wear it to show you, so stop paying attention.”

We bought swimsuits from a shop near the beach and also played for a bit at La Mer Beach.

“What’s famous in Dubai? I know about Dubai chocolate.”

“If it’s for a gift, soap or royal jelly would be better. Other than that, if it’s a personal souvenir… How about this?”

“Huh? What is it? A glass bottle with a picture drawn on it?”

“It’s a glass bottle where sand is stacked to look like a picture. This much reasonably serves as proof that you’ve been to Dubai, so people tend to buy a lot.”

“Hmm, really? But you, Do Yehee, seem like you could do it too?”

“Of course, I can make it much more elaborately.”

“Then I don’t really need it. More importantly, where is Dubai chocolate sold?”

“In the first place, ‘Dubai chocolate’ isn’t its name. What’s currently trending in Korea is Crispy Kunafa, Pistachio & Tahini, but if you really need it, I will prepare it for you separately, so don’t just get fixated on something strange…”

We also bought some items worth buying as gifts at Dubai Mall when returning to Korea.

“Indeed, now that it’s night, the view is quite nice. Now it feels like I’ve actually come to Dubai, maybe.”

“Don’t stand there gawking like a country bumpkin. Please come up to the upper floor. This place is just the first observation deck.”

“Huh? Besides Burj Khalifa, are there other observation decks?”

“Didn’t you know Burj Khalifa has three observation decks? Still, since we’re here anyway, shouldn’t we see the highest observation deck in the world before leaving?”

At night, we enjoyed the real Dubai sightseeing from the Burj Khalifa observation deck while enjoying the night view.

“……”

“Do Yehee.”

“…Why do you call me?”

“Turn your face this way.”

“……”

With the night view before us, in the soft atmosphere, we shared a kiss with Do Yehee, who was looking hesitant about something.

Despite having androphobia, she now doesn’t even refuse kissing. Of course, it seems like she does it because she feels a little uncomfortable towards other men besides me, but well, it doesn’t matter. Rather, personally, that way seems much better.

-Slurp.

“Mmm, mff…”

-Slurp, slurp.

“Mmmph, hngh…”

In a corner of the observation deck, we secretly shared a short yet long kiss.

“Do Yehee.”

“…Yes.”

“It’s about time to go to the hotel and rest, but what about you?”

“……Well, if you insist, it’s about time we should go down.”

It was time to soon satisfy the ‘second reason’ she came to find me for.

“Hmm, the inside looks quite spacious. The bed is also quite large for a private room. Right, you did something for me, so that person Kim Joo-ah should also show this much sincerity, right?”

“I get it, so take off your clothes quickly, Do Yehee.”

“You have no intention of enjoying the mood a bit and thinking before speaking at all? And things like this are originally supposed to be led by the woman, not the man?”

“What leadership. Despite begging to insert your penis every time we do it, you really think so.”

“I, I never begged! It’s just, I just pretended to do it because you seem to like that!”

What happens in a little while is obvious, yet showing this kind of attitude already, honestly speaking, doesn’t seem like anything else but seduction, you know.

Anyway, it doesn’t seem like she doesn’t have the intention to do it, as Do Yehee was undoing the buttons of her red dress, and as soon as the buttons on her back and waist were slightly undone, the red dress smoothly slid down her body.

“……”

“What, why are you staring like that? You must have seen it several times already.”

“Yeah, I have seen it several times already. But seeing it again after a long time makes me horny again.”

“…Ah, anyway, I will go wash up, so please wait for a moment. If you’re really bored, maybe chat with them using the contact info exchanged with Seolhwa earlier.”

Is she still holding onto what happened inside the dungeon earlier in her heart? Encountering Do Yehee’s ‘jealousy’ in this way was surprisingly refreshing. This attitude, I don’t think I really saw it when Sihee was usually in the same place.

Perhaps it was because she was shy about showing romantic feelings towards me in front of Sihee, and among other women, there are few who have contact with me, so there was almost no room to express jealousy.

Really. It was a cute sight that perfectly suits the impression of Sihee, who still retains that prim and proper feeling.

“Let’s wash together, why not. There’s no need to wait for each other.”

“……On the condition that you don’t do anything strange during the washing, fine.”

“Okay, don’t worry. I’ll just wash and come out.”

“……Because you’re telling me to relax, it rather makes me suspicious. Better yet, if you openly said you’d do strange things, I’d at least pay attention…”

Obviously, I didn’t have the thought of just washing without doing anything at all from the beginning. It’s just that I wanted to see Do Yehee being teased by me with an aggrieved expression, thinking ‘I knew it would be like this’.
