Chapter 174: Alpha Female (2)

The Shared Phenomenon of Estrus.

A phenomenon that frequently occurs among animal-type Awakeners who share the same living space.

As the name of the phenomenon suggests, its content is also simple.

A phenomenon where hormonal changes synchronize estrus periods, causing everyone to experience it around the same time.

If I had to summarize, it refers to this very situation right now.

“Oppa….”

“Oraboni….”

Actually, I had known for a long time that Jin-ah and Seon-ah harbored favorable feelings towards me. For one thing, we all graduated from the same specialized Hunter training school, and even before that, I knew them through Min-ah. Unlike Min-ah, who was just a friend, Jin-ah and Seon-ah always conveyed their affections in ways that were easy to understand. Furthermore, among the animal-type Awakeners, they were among the few who hadn’t attempted any excessive sexual harassment or rape against me, so I didn’t harbor particularly bad feelings towards them either. If they had, I wouldn’t have made love with Min-ah in this semi-basement villa where there’s a risk of getting caught. I would have strongly insisted on meeting elsewhere to resolve things.

In that regard, I couldn’t say I entirely disliked this situation where the twins were rushing at me due to the shared estrus phenomenon. After all, it was an ability where the more I had sex, the more points I accumulated, and I preferred starting something with two people I already knew rather than a stranger I’d just met. Therefore, if it were up to me, I felt like taking an aphrodisiac right now and screwing the three sisters, including Jin-ah and Seon-ah, until tomorrow morning.

Unfortunately for the twins who were expecting it, I had my reasons for not being able to take them right now. First of all, the primary reason was that both of them were still minors, just a few months shy of adulthood. Of course, the standard for being a minor was just a reference point because the way age is counted in this world differs slightly from the original world; by the original world’s standards, they would already be adults. Just as the saying goes, ‘When in Rome, do as the Romans do,’ I had no intention of touching them while they were considered minors according to this world’s standards. Even though they were legally not adults by this world’s standards, their actual age corresponded to adulthood in my previous life.

Anyway, there was another reason why I decided not to touch Jin-ah and Seon-ah. It was the fact that the twins were not official Hunters until they graduated from school. One might argue that there wasn’t much difference since they were prospective Hunters, but my Awakened ability didn’t seem to think so. Unlike Min-ah, who had a red heart floating next to her face, the hearts of Jin-ah and Seon-ah were bound as if locked by chains. Naturally, the expected point acquisition value didn’t appear either. It felt as if the system itself was telling me this. ‘Don’t touch them before they become official Hunters. Even if you satisfy their sexual urges in this state, you won’t gain Awakening Points.’ Furthermore, judging by a guess Eunyoung Noona once made, the purpose of this Awakened ability granted to me was solely to resolve the sexual urges of ‘Hunters’ and increase their survival rate. This meant I couldn’t earn points even if I slept with them, as they weren’t official Hunters yet.

Of course, I wouldn’t have minded taking them right then and there to relieve their desires, without worrying about points. Still, I felt it would be better to make their first experience meaningful, if possible. To establish a relationship after they were finally recognized as official Hunters and earn points. This progression seemed like the ideal scenario in many ways.

“Oppa…. Please satisfy my urges too…. Don’t just pay attention to Unnie, pay attention to me too…!”

“Me too, please, Taekyung Oraboni. Just once would be fine….”

So, I felt sorry for Jin-ah and Seon-ah, but I had to postpone our intimacy a little longer. I stroked the heads of the two who had rushed at me, covering my lower half with the blanket, with both hands. Jin-ah on my right, with my right palm; Seon-ah on my left, with my left palm.

“Calm down, both of you.”

Still, perhaps because they were both in the early stages of their awakening, suppressing their instincts wasn’t impossible. Unlike Min-ah, who had been active for over two years.

“Taekyung-ah~! Hurry~! I want to kiss more! And fuck me again, fill me up deep inside~!”

“…….”

“…….”

Perhaps thanks to Min-ah, who, due to the ‘Alpha Female Phenomenon,’ was spewing all sorts of things without shame, Jin-ah and Seon-ah momentarily regained their senses and showed calmer expressions.

“If you don’t want to end up like that by giving in to your instincts, calm down first.”

“…Okay, Oppa.”

“…I understand, Oraboni.”

Thanks to Han Min-ah faithfully serving as a cautionary tale, persuading the two didn’t seem difficult.

“Jin-ah.”

“Yeah, Oppa.”

“And Seon-ah.”

“Yes, Oraboni.”

“I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I can’t take you right now.”

“……What?”

“……Huh?”

As soon as I finished speaking, the two of them momentarily wore expressions of disbelief, unable to comprehend the situation. Soon, those expressions gradually shifted into ones mixed with confusion and indignation.

“Why, why?!”

Jin-ah looked indignant, as if she couldn’t reclaim something she had entrusted.

“Is it because Oraboni vowed not to form bonds with anyone other than the eldest Unnie?”

To Seon-ah’s question, which sounded genuinely curious, I shook my head and replied.

“It’s nothing like that. The reason I have sex with Min-ah is to relieve her estrus, not because we’re lovers.”

“T-then it doesn’t matter! I-I’m in heat too! Why is Unnie okay but I’m not?!”

“Because, Jin-ah and Seon-ah, you two aren’t official Hunters yet.”

“What?!”

Han Jin-ah jumped up and down excitedly upon hearing my words.

“Just for that?! Is being an official Hunter that important to you, Oppa?!”

“…I agree with Jin-ah, Oraboni. We’re already contracted to join a company guild upon graduation, so aren’t we practically official Hunters anyway?”

“R-right! In just a few months, I’ll be an official Hunter like Unnie! So it doesn’t matter!”

As they said this, I placed my hands on the shoulders of Jin-ah and Seon-ah, who were subtly leaning their faces towards me again, and said.

“No.”

“Ah, Oppa!”

“What I mean by ‘official Hunter’ is someone who properly faces monsters and clears dungeons as a Hunter. Compared to that, you two haven’t even been on your first expedition yet.”

“What difference does that make…!”

“There is a difference. As I told you before, my dream is to create a world where no one dies from monsters. In that sense, I only resolve the sexual urges of official Hunters.”

“…….”

“I’m sorry to you both, but I can’t compromise on this. Even if you say you don’t like it, I have no intention of changing my mind.”

Han Jin-ah, who was about to launch into an indignant tirade, shut her mouth. She probably realized that further arguments wouldn’t change my stance.

Then, from my left, Seon-ah’s question came.

“Taekyung Oraboni.”

“Yes, Seon-ah.”

“Are you certain about what you just said, that you only satisfy the urges of official Hunters?”

Unlike Jin-ah, Seon-ah calmly grasped the meaning of my words and pierced through to the essence of what I was saying.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Then, what is your standard for an official Hunter, Oraboni?”

“…….”

Putting Han Seon-ah’s question on hold for a moment, I mentally asked Esila. Because what mattered wasn’t my definition of an official Hunter, but the system’s definition.

‘Esila. What is the system’s criteria for determining targets from whom points can be accumulated?’

“The Hunter Lust Management System classifies individuals as official Hunters if they are officially registered with the Hunter’s Guild and have defeated 10 or more monsters through direct or indirect actions.”

‘Ten monsters? Does that include hunting in a party?’

“Yes.”

The condition was much more lenient than I expected, and I smiled inwardly. Knowing the twins’ abilities, I was confident it wasn’t a difficult standard to meet. Therefore, I relayed the criteria for an official Hunter received from Esila back to Seon-ah.

“Become an official Hunter and defeat ten monsters. That’s my standard for an official Hunter.”

“…Are the monsters’ ranks not a factor in your judgment?”

“It doesn’t matter. Whether they’re Rank A or Rank D, ten monsters. That’s my standard.”

Strictly speaking, it was the system’s standard, not mine.

“If you two manage to overcome your desires without seeking other partners for the remaining months, and succeed in defeating ten monsters after becoming official Hunters.”

“…….”

“…….”

“Then, I promise I will be the first one to satisfy your desires.”
