Chapter 18: Cha Yuri (5)

The hot sunlight streaming in from outside the window woke me from my deep slumber.

Thanks to the refreshing feeling, I thought I’d overslept again today after yesterday, but thankfully, that didn’t seem to be the case; the hotel clock was still showing 7 AM.

“You’re awake?”

Meanwhile, Cha Yuri, who had somehow gotten out of bed, was sitting in a chair, watching me wake up.

She was already dressed in going-out clothes. I had hoped to see Cha Yuri clinging to me naked again when I woke up, but that part was a little disappointing.

“You’re up early.”

“…Because I was hungry.”

“You didn’t even eat dinner yesterday because we were busy having sex.”

It seemed Cha Yuri’s diligence was driven by a basic human need. It made sense she’d be hungry when her lower belly was full instead of her upper one.

…Come to think of it, I don’t think we used any contraception yesterday when we had sex. Should I suggest she take the morning-after pill just in case?

“Um, Cha Yuri-ssi.”

“Yeah.”

“Uh, this might sound a bit strange…”

“If it’s about pregnancy, you don’t need to worry.”

“Huh?”

“I… I know how to use contraception magic.”

Perhaps because of my blatant stare at her lower abdomen, Cha Yuri reacted as if she’d read my mind, providing an answer to my concern.

“So there’s such a thing as contraception magic?”

“Most wind or water mages do. Wind mages blow air 휭휭 inside the uterus. Water mages use water 촥촥.”

It seemed like it was basically cleaning the inside of the body so fertilized eggs couldn’t implant.

Thinking about Cha Yuri using contraception magic while I slept sparked some strange fantasies in my head. I kind of wanted to see it sometime.

“Hurry up and get dressed. We’re going to the breakfast buffet.”

“Ah, okay.”

As soon as I heard Cha Yuri and threw off the blanket, my naked body, hidden below, was exposed to the outside for the first time in a while, and my morning erection, stiff as ever, was laid bare before her eyes.

“…….”

It seemed like the first time she’d seen my morning erection, as Cha Yuri’s eyes shifted from my face to my lower body.

Simultaneously, a faint pink heart and the number 15 appeared next to her face.

“…….”

“Want to do it?”

“Uh, huh?”

“You’re staring at my… thing… so I thought maybe you felt like doing it again.”

“…….”

Honestly, 15 wasn’t a very high number, but it was definitely better than doing nothing.

I figured I could secure around 30 points if I included various bonuses.

More importantly, I thought it was better to have relations with someone I knew, even if the acquisition points were lower, but Cha Yuri’s response was a bit different.

“Ah, I don’t want to….”

“Really?”

“If I indulge myself any further, I’ll truly become a good-for-nothing woman.”

It seemed the 15 points were within Cha Yuri’s tolerance level.

She’s surprisingly self-controlled, unlike how she appears.

“Uh, more importantly, hurry up. I told you we’re going to eat.”

“Yes, yes. Understood.”

She, having woken up earlier, changed into the clothes she took out from the cleaning magic tool, then grabbed the room key and headed straight for the first-floor restaurant.

I guessed it would be a busy day today, as there was probably a lot to do.

After finishing a luxurious breakfast, including the dinner I missed yesterday, Cha Yuri and I walked out of the hotel, clutching our full stomachs.

“Thank you so much for yesterday.”

Before we parted ways at the crossroads. She thanked me once again.

“You saved my life, helped me regain my lost magic, and even showed me the joys of being a woman, so I’m truly indebted to you.”

“I did it because I wanted to, so please don’t feel too burdened.”

“I really don’t know how I can repay you. Honestly, your existence still feels like a dream…”

After briefly glancing around to see if anyone else was nearby, I immediately lowered my head and gave her a light kiss.

Just a light peck, lips touching lips, without using tongues.

“Does it still feel like a dream?”

“…I’m increasingly unsure if I’m even in reality.”

The pink heart floating next to her face filled up to 20.

“If it’s okay with you, Cha Yuri-ssi, shall I tell you how you can repay me?”

“Yes, tell me.”

“Give me your phone.”

I took the S77 smartphone Cha Yuri offered, immediately pressed the call button, entered my phone number, and ended the call after confirming the ringtone clearly sounded in my pocket.

Finally, I saved Kim Sungchul’s contact in my phone and handed it right back to her.

“Next time you feel your desire building up and your magic acting up, contact me at this number or via the KakaoTalk messenger.”

“…Huh?”

“I’ll resolve it for you then, too. That’s how you can repay me, Cha Yuri-ssi.”

Perhaps not fully grasping what I meant, Cha Yuri met my gaze with wide, unblinking eyes.

“Th-that’s not repaying me…”

“What?”

“In the end, you’re just offering help again… like this time…”

“Then you can repay that debt next time.”

“…Wh-what do you mean?”

“You see, Cha Yuri-ssi, the way you repay my favor is by having sex with me, but you don’t consider that repayment and see it as another debt. So, repay that other debt by having sex with me again next time. Just keep repaying it like that, continuously.”

“…….”

I felt a pang of guilt for taking advantage of her innocence, but Cha Yuri was someone who had given me quite a lot of points, no less than Kang Hye-eun, so if our relationship became frequent, she would undoubtedly be very helpful in the future.

My strategy was to overwhelm her with the burden if she hesitated to contact me first due to psychological pressure.

So that when her desire built up, she could think of nothing but my face.

“Th-that’s enough…? Is that really all you want?”

“…Actually, thinking about it, there’s one more thing I’d like you to grant.”

“S-see? Don’t hesitate, just say it. I’ll be getting my salary again once I return to work, so I can buy you anything you want.”

“It’s not like I need money or things.”

If I took money for sex, I’d feel like a real gigolo.

…Although it’s not that different considering I receive awakening points anyway, the feeling is what matters.

“If you ever get so overwhelmed with desire that you can’t stand it, please don’t ask anyone else but me for sex.”

“…Th-that’s it?”

“It’s an important factor for me.”

It would be a waste if she released her pent-up desire elsewhere and my awakening points decreased.

And I also didn’t want to get into a messy love triangle with another guy over one woman.

“If you ever sleep with another man besides me…”

“…….”

“Then, Cha Yuri-ssi and I will be strangers for the rest of our lives.”

“……!!!”

Perhaps it felt a bit harsh to her, Cha Yuri’s already tense expression froze completely, looking terrified. She then shook her head vigorously side to side, expressing strong refusal.

“Ah, I won’t! I’ll never do that!”

“Can I really trust you?”

“Never! Nothing like that will ever happen! I promise I’ll only have sex with you!”

“I’m glad you say that.”

“S-so please don’t say we’ll be strangers forever… I promise…”

Cha Yuri clung to my clothes as if I were about to leave, burying her face in my body and rubbing against me.

It seemed my final words had psychologically cornered her, as Cha Yuri’s estimated acquisition points, which had been floating next to her face, had suddenly soared to 30.

…At this rate, she’ll contact me again within three days.

“Y-you can contact me anytime, too…”

“What?”

“They say men don’t have that much desire, but you seem a bit different from other men. If… if you’d like, I’ll let you have sex with me anytime! I might not be able to answer the phone if I’m in a dungeon, but if you leave a message, I’ll check it and contact you right away…”

“Okay, I’ll remember that.”

Finally, I gave her, held in my arms, a tight hug before parting ways at the crossroads and heading in our respective directions.

Cha Yuri to her company, and me to my home.

It was time for both of us to do what we had to do.

Returning to my sweet home after a full day, it was exactly as I had left it, with no apparent issues.

Seeing the blankets still airing in the yard from before I left yesterday suggested that neither Kang Hye-eun nor the ahjumma had stopped by while I was gone.

It might have been fortunate that my overnight absence wasn’t discovered.

At twenty-two, I was past the age for nagging about staying out overnight, but still, a man wandering around late at night alone was bound to cause worry.

I gathered the now fluffy blankets and headed straight for the second-floor bedroom, then covered the mattress, which had mostly dried during the day, with fresh bedding to tidy up the sleeping area.

With this, I shouldn’t have any major issues even if Kang Hye-eun barges in this evening.

Even though I’d satisfied her desires thoroughly just two days ago, honestly, I never know when the women in this world might get horny again.

I had to secure as many opportunities to gain points as possible.

Even if I ended up with surplus awakening points later, I was bound to face days of lacking points for a while starting now. Just leveling up the three skills I currently possessed would drain a significant amount.

Still in my outdoor clothes, I sat on the edge of the bed, opened my smartphone, and launched the Hunter Desire Manager app, which was once again filled with various notifications.

It was time for serious point management.
