Chapter 1089: Side Story – Slave Training (1)

To every woman living in this world, a blessing called an awakening ability is given.

Whether they want it or not.

The condition of being ‘female’ holds quite a broad meaning, so sometimes, opportunities to gain awakening abilities are given even when one least expects it.

Even beings who crossed over from other worlds can gain awakening abilities, and it’s the same even if they have the blood of beings from other worlds mixed in.

There were even cases, very rare, truly very rare, where beings who weren’t originally female gained awakening abilities for reasons such as having an identity as a woman, for example, a desire for the opposite sex as strong as that of the women in this world.

Or, perhaps, when someone earnestly believes in the existence of a person as ‘female’.

…If that’s the case, does the standard of ‘female’ truly extend to ‘females’ created by human hands?

“…Hoo.”

The number of people who know that fact isn’t that high, including myself.

“You’re saying it might be difficult to arrange a meeting with Min Hyunyoung?”

A week after summoning Sung Chae-eun to our guild, in the Guild Master’s office.

She, who had been waiting in front of the office since dawn for me to arrive, immediately prostrated herself on the floor as soon as she followed me and Eunbyul inside.

“I-I’m sorry, Master! I-I tried persuading her many times, but she kept refusing, saying she was no longer physically capable of being a Hunter…”

“……”

“I-If you give me just a little more time, I’ll persuade her somehow… Ah, no, I’ll tie her up and drag her here by force if I have to, and present her before you, Master!”

Sung Chae-eun, prostrating herself so intensely that her forehead looked like it would hit the floor with each thud.

A Hunter belonging to our guild… It had been less than a week since she became a slave, yet honestly, this level of loyalty was a bit overwhelming.

Besides, she wasn’t the type of woman who would allow me to treat her gently just because I wanted to. For the sake of Sung Chae-eun’s sexual wall, I needed to always act as a strong and domineering male figure in front of her.

“……”

-Glance.

“……”

-Nod.

I subtly shifted my gaze towards Eunbyul, and the maid quietly nodded and responded as if she wouldn’t particularly care what I did.

Perhaps because she stayed closest to me and had encountered various types of people, she was aware that some women had rather peculiar sexual walls. With that in mind, I gently pressed my booted foot down on the back of Sung Chae-eun’s head as she repeatedly banged it on the floor.

-Thump, thump….

“I-I am ashamed to show such incompetence despite promising to bring her before you, Master! If you doubt me, I’ll prove it by cutting off my horns…”

-CRUNCH!

“Hic…!”

“Stop banging your head on the floor so loudly. Don’t you know the basic way to apologize, you old hag?”

“I-I’m s-sorry…!”

“Nobles have their own ways of apologizing, so show some manners. This ignorant way of just headbutting first is the method I hate the most.”

“I-I understand!”

“…Hoo, Eunbyul.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Teach this stupid bitch how ‘nobles’ apologize. She seems to lack even the most basic knowledge for someone who claims she wants to be a slave.”

“Understood, Master.”

…This should be enough.

I wonder if it’s necessary to go this far, but anyway, Sung Chae-eun is most efficiently handled this way. Seeing that her expected acquisition points are increasing even while her head is being stomped on by me, making her kiss the dirty floor, she’s definitely a woman whose attitude changes drastically before and after submission.

“Please rise, Hunter Sung Chae-eun. As a maid who began serving Master long before you, I will teach you the way nobles apologize.”

“Yes, Sunbae-nim!”

“I apologize, but I am not your Sunbae. My role is to assist Master as his ‘Maid’ when he needs me most. There is no reason for someone like you, who is merely a ‘slave,’ to call me Sunbae.”

“I’m sorry!”

“When you address me, please use the title ‘Maid-nim’ or ‘Eunbyul-nim.’ And always keep in mind that there exists an unbridgeable class difference between us.”

“Yes!! Eunbyul-nim!”

…She handles it better than I thought.

Still, it seems she caught on to how to handle things by observing my conversations with Sung Chae-eun for the past few days. After all, dealing with subordinates is something she must have done ad nauseam while training No. 2, so she’ll probably handle it well without me needing to worry.

Leaving Sung Chae-eun’s education to Eunbyul, I first started replying to the messages piled up on KakaoTalk. Due to the many connections I’ve built over time, messages from women are always piling up.

There were messages from Hye-eun, saying she’s focusing on prenatal education instead of training these days; from Miss Kwon Hwayeon, looking forward to the next regular meeting; and from Teacher Yang Miyeon, who will officially start working at our guild in a month, asking various questions about her job change.

「I never thought you, Taekyung-ssi, could actually persuade Chae-eun. Honestly, I thought Chae-eun would never live tied down by a man. Even for Chae-eun, it seems meeting you directly changed her mind.」

「It’s all thanks to No-eul-ssi arranging it. I’ll give you another consultation as repayment next time, so let me know whenever you need it.」

「Wow, really? Then I’ll come up to the office next time~!」

Jung No-eul sometimes sends messages like this too; unlike her timid personality, she’s quite lively in texts.

Others include Cha Yuri bragging about her improved fire magic proficiency, and President Seo Ok-hee sending a message that wasn’t quite a threat, warning that she wouldn’t let it slide if I barged in again without notice.

With so many women I’m involved with, replying to each of these messages was quite a task. It’s a relief, though, that the women in this world don’t get angry or throw tantrums about slow replies like the women in my original world.

There was Sihee, who, despite being only about three months pregnant, had already decorated her private room at the Hope City Guild as a nursery; and Han Min-ah’s message, complaining about being restless from not coming to work lately and asking if she could at least run a C-rank dungeon… Yeah, absolutely not. She’s already in a physically demanding role, there’s no way I’d allow that.

「If you’re restless, just come up to the office. I’ll scratch every nook and cranny inside with my dick.」

「Okay, I get it, I just need to rest.」

「I’m not joking, I’m serious.」

「Fuck off」

What a cheeky brat. I should tell her to come up to my room tonight after a long time when I get home.

Besides those, I received a message from Do Yehee about needing a meeting regarding construction matters, but she probably just meant she wanted to see me, expressed in her own way. It’s no wonder, seeing as she’s sisters with Sihee, her reaction was just like Sihee’s when her affection points weren’t high enough yet.

And the message from Seolhwa-ssi was, in many ways, consistently the same as always.

「(Photo of her covering her nipples and pussy with one finger in front of a mirror)」

“……”

Last time it was a naked Zero Two, now it’s the ‘one finger challenge’? The way she precisely covered only the important parts, as if confident in her figure, was subtly erotic. She said she’d send a version without the finger if I left detailed impressions… I’m not writing this reply seriously because I want that. It’s just that building rapport with her might help with my relationship with Do Yehee, so I’m leaving impressions.

The message from Eunyoung Noona that I checked next was just one photo, but it had more impact than any other message.

「(Photo of a pregnancy test with two lines)」

…So she finally made up her mind. To be precise, she must have decided from that trip onwards, and since then, she must have been anxiously waiting to see if she could actually get pregnant. As her new husband, I expressed my sincere gratitude. I also made sure to tell her that she would never regret bearing my child.

After replying to Kyungsook Sunbae, who said she’d visit our guild soon, and Hwayoung Sunbae, who had been staying in the laboratory built on our guild’s first floor for the past five days, I received a reply from Seolhwa-ssi regarding the impressions I sent earlier.

「(Photo with nipples and pussy barely covered by shadow magic)」

“I’ve removed my finger. Have a pleasant time.”

…Well, I expected this. That this woman has no intention of showing me her perfect naked body. I’ve been feeling lately that Seolhwa-ssi really enjoys this sort of thing. It was a bit absurd how she sent a confident message, acting as if she hadn’t shown everything, even though only a minuscule part was left, barely enough to be called a covering anymore. …Later, I’ll have to make her remove even the shadows herself in front of me.

After roughly checking all the messages, I glanced behind my desk, wondering if the training was over, but the women who should have been there somehow didn’t immediately come into my line of sight.

“Eunbyul?”

“Below you, Master.”

“Hm?”

Eunbyul’s voice came from slightly below, instead of straight ahead where my vision reached. Following her words, I shifted my gaze slightly lower, and two women’s pale white buttocks came into view.
