Chapter 1220: Side Story – Taming the Divorcee (5) (Mature Illustration)

A peculiar tension lingered inside the Guild Leader’s office.

Due to the strange reactions Na Yurin, Woo Jungha, and Min-ah’s acquaintances showed towards me.

‘Haa, seriously… I kinda feel like a con artist, but still, just letting it go feels wrong….’

‘I’m curious just how good a man our Min-ah has landed~. I wonder what I should do to make her give herself to him~.’

The two people, whose outward reactions and inner thoughts were completely opposite.

Based on the reactions I read with my mind-reading ability, it seemed Woo Jungha would willingly come around even without me seducing her.

‘Well, to be honest, she’s pretty much average for an Animal-type Awakened.’

Since our guild has quite a few Animal-type Awakened individuals, it wasn’t particularly surprising that she harbored such desires towards men.

Rather, Na Yurin, who was still thinking about her ex-husband and acting strangely cautious, was the unusual case.

Maybe it was because she’s a wolf-type beastman. Even though she’s not domesticated, she’s still canine, after all.

‘Even if it’s a bit bold, I guess I have no choice but to seduce her openly.’

Recruiting someone who refuses into our guild isn’t my preference, but this time, it’s because of Min-ah’s request.

For her sake, who shook her hips so diligently on the bed a few days ago under the pretext of a referral fee, I should at least definitely proceed with the ‘interview’.

“Speaking of which, shall we proceed with a compatibility test?”

“…Can you do that right now?”

“It’s always prepared in our guild. We can proceed anytime if the two of you wish.”

“What does this compatibility test thing involve~?”

“It’s just a simple interview. It won’t take too long either. It’ll probably be over in about an hour combined for the two of you.”

Of course, that’s an hour based on outside time.

“…….”

“An hour doesn’t take long~. Yurin, you’ll take the interview, right~?”

“I, I don’t really… that much…”

“It’s fine, so please try it once. It really doesn’t take long.”

“……Okay.”

Woo Jungha, who willingly agreed perhaps because she approached with the intention of gaining my favor from the start, and Na Yurin, who still couldn’t lower her guard and cautiously followed her friend.

Thinking about them sprawled out disheveled on the bed a moment later made the thing in my pants keep raising its head.

“Is this the interview room~?”

“Yes, this way is the interview room.”

“…Why is there a bed in the interview room?”

“There are times it’s needed, so… When the interview drags on, some people occasionally fall asleep because they’re tired.”

“……What?”

As I honestly explained the bed’s purpose, Na Yurin frowned again and glared at me.

I wasn’t lying. In fact, there are more than one or two Hunters in our guild who collapse first during the interview. Even among my wives, unless they’re specialists in physical enhancement like Hye-eun or Eunyoung Noona, they always tend to collapse first.

‘Since we’ve come this far, there’s probably no need to hide it.’

When recruiting new Hunters into the guild and conducting interviews, what I always pay attention to is gauging whether or not the other party can keep a secret.

If the other party doesn’t desperately refuse or anything, I usually bring them to Belle’s Dungeon and just have sex first.

Once we’ve had relations like that, I can figure out whether this person will have any aversion to joining our guild and receiving my ‘interview’ in the future.

If distrust towards me still remains even after the interview, then unfortunately, I have no choice but to erase their memories and experiences and notify them of their rejection. Because if I use Belle’s Dungeon’s unique function, it’s fully possible to return the other party to the state they were in before their ‘interview’ with me.

Teacher Yang Miyeon, Kyungsook Sunbae, or Min Hyunyoung-if I have a separate friendship or share mutual acquaintances to the extent that erasing memories wouldn’t cause any particular problem, I don’t go that far, though.

“Before judging whether the two of you are suitable for our guild, I will first explain the ‘interview’ conducted in our guild.”

“Yes~.”

“…Okay.”

“The interview conducted in our guild is simple. The Hunter and I, the Guild Leader, will simply have physical relations.”

“…What the heck?”

“What…”

At my confident assertion, both people looked momentarily flustered. Not to mention Na Yurin, even Woo Jungha, who had been hiding her dialect and speaking awkward Seoul dialect all along, showed a slightly surprised reaction this time.

“Th-the physical relations thing, what is it… Ah, no, what is it~?”

“It means exactly what it sounds like. By having sexual relations with me, we’re checking how much satisfaction the Hunter can feel-what’s known as ‘compatibility’.”

“…Don’t fucking lie. That wasn’t mentioned.”

“Well, it’s not something one can confidently talk about publicly, so… Still, I didn’t say it just to check compatibility for no reason.”

“…Then what is it?”

“Awakened abilities are fundamentally quite related to the complete resolution of sexual desire. Even just resolving the subject’s sexual desire can slow down the aging of their Awakened ability.”

“…….”

“…….”

Na Yurin and Woo Jungha looked at me with blank expressions, as if finding it hard to believe my words.

The first one to speak was Na Yurin, glaring at me with a flushed face.

“D-don’t make me laugh! If that’s true, what about the Hunters who retire even after getting married?!”

“Well… I don’t know the details, but probably the relationship with her husband wasn’t that good.”

“I, I wasn’t like that! During my active days, it wasn’t bad, I did it about once every few months?! B-but how will you explain that my Awakened ability weakened?!”

“Well… Isn’t it because you weren’t satisfied when you had relations with your husband, Na Yurin?”

“W-what did you say, you bastard?!”

Na Yurin, apparently quite offended by my words just now, abruptly grabbed my collar and lifted me up. Seeing her react so strongly, it definitely seemed like she still had lingering feelings for her husband.

‘I want to make her forget those foolish lingering feelings somehow.’

According to what I heard from Min-ah, she said it was a catastrophe, to the point where her husband even called the police just for having marital relations, but it doesn’t seem quite like that. Or perhaps it was a one-sided obsession on Na Yurin’s part. After all, there are cases where Animal-type Awakened individuals cherish the first person they had relations with more specially.

But in the end, the fact that he didn’t properly resolve her sexual desire and even divorced her meant that Na Yurin’s ex-husband was, at least by my standards, disqualified as a man.

‘Maybe it’s because the only man she’s experienced so far is that ex-husband.’

If we just have relations once, I can change her mind enough. It’s just that the first time is a bit tricky.

And if possible, I didn’t want to resort to forcing myself on her. If I unnecessarily did something like that and the relationship became irreparable, I wouldn’t be able to face Min-ah either.

“Hey, what do you know?! I was holding back because you’re Min-ah’s husband, but talking like that…”

“Hey, hey, stop it, Yurin~! Don’t bother Taekyung-ssi~!”

Fortunately, Woo Jungha stepped in appropriately before emotions got too heated, so it didn’t escalate to actual violence beyond grabbing my collar a little, but… Nevertheless, the emotions themselves remained heated, so the atmosphere wasn’t very good.

“Haa, forget it. I don’t need to return as a Hunter or anything, I’m just leaving.”

She managed to compose herself somehow, but in the end, Na Yurin walked towards the warp gate with a displeased expression. Obviously, it wouldn’t activate just by her stepping onto it alone. Besides, I had no intention of letting her leave in the first place.

“Excuse me, but that gate doesn’t operate without my permission.”

“…Then open it quickly.”

“No. The ‘interview’ hasn’t finished yet.”

“I said I wouldn’t do it.”

“That is not a matter for you to decide, Yuri-ssi. Since I have already told you about our interview, Yuri-ssi, I cannot let you go until you’ve experienced it at least once.”

“…Grrr.”

…She’ll probably transform into her true beastman form and charge at me soon.

The tension flared up once again between me, determined to fuck her at least once somehow, and Na Yurin, determined to leave.

And the one who resolved that tension, at least temporarily, was Woo Jungha, who visited from the start only with the intention of doing it with me.

“Ahh, let’s stop, Yurin~! Th-then, you can just decide after seeing the interview between me and Taekyung-ssi~!”

“…What are you looking at?”

“If you watch me and Taekyung-ssi doing it, your mind might change in the middle… Well, isn’t that the case~? I know you haven’t done it even once since the divorce, Yurin, and you’re forcing yourself to endure it~.”

“…I don’t need it. I won’t do it with anyone else besides my husband. I’d rather take medicine and endure it.”

“Haa, geez~. It’s really frustrating~.”

Woo Jungha, trying to ease the mood somehow, perhaps driven by her own desire to do it with me, and Na Yurin, who refused even her suggestion.

At this point, I also continued persuading her, whose wariness had intensified again.

“If Yuri-ssi does not wish for it to that extent, I will not proceed with the interview.”

“…Okay.”

“However, even so, I cannot send you outside the gate right now. I will not open that gate until Woo Jungha-ssi’s interview is finished.”

“…….”

“I will not force you to do it either, Na Yurin-ssi. But you must wait here at least until around the time your friend’s interview finishes.”

“…Alright.”

Whether she realized she couldn’t leave without my help anyway, she quietly nodded her head.
