Chapter 226: The Young Lady Who Wants Comfort (3)

“Jealousy…?”

At Eunbyul’s words, spoken from beyond the smartphone, a question naturally escaped my lips. Eunbyul was Sihee’s attendant. It seemed the smartphone’s control had already passed from Sihee to Eunbyul, as Maid Eunbyul’s voice continued over the speaker.

“Jealousy?”

「It took Master approximately three years to rise from becoming a C-class Hunter to a B-class Hunter.」

“…Oh, really?”

「Master, who was granted ‘provisional C-class Hunter’ status at age 16, received B-class Hunter qualifications upon graduating from Hunter High School at age 19. Since you, Kim Sungchul-nim, achieved what Master accomplished over three years in just three months, perhaps she is feeling jealous because of that….」

「Stop! Stop it, Eunbyul! Stop saying useless things and give that back to me!!」

After a brief commotion from beyond the speaker, the voice that returned was once again that of the original owner, the blonde young lady.

「Ugh, Eunbyul was talking nonsense for a moment. You know I don’t really think that, right? My attendant just made a strange guess, so please don’t take it to heart.」

Judging by the awkwardness in her voice, Eunbyul’s guess seemed to be pretty much correct. She once said she couldn’t feel desire unless it was for a man stronger than her, yet seeing me get promoted so quickly seems to make her feel… something subtle. It wasn’t that I couldn’t understand her slightly contradictory attitude, so a small laugh surfaced in my mind. Although we were involved in a private relationship where we mingled bodies and satisfied each other’s desires, from the perspective of Hunters, we were also in a kind of competitive relationship. Especially since it would have been strange if the prideful Do Sihee had simply congratulated me on my promotion. To draw out her true feelings, I casually threw out a bait.

“Really? So you’re saying you’re not feeling down because of jealousy?”

「Of course. Did I really seem like the troublesome type of woman to you?」

“Oh? What a shame.”

「Hm?」

“If you really had acted presumptuously towards me out of jealousy, I was planning to give you a ‘punishment’ as soon as we met after so long, for educational purposes.”

「…….」

Her voice from the other end of the receiver went quiet for a moment.

「…Sungchul-ssi?」

“Yeah.”

「Just in case, I’m asking, what does that ‘punishment’ mean?」

“Why are you curious about that? It shouldn’t concern you anymore, Sihee.”

「W-what if, you know? You might suddenly change your mind and make some strange demands with ridiculous excuses!」

She’s making excuses when she’s the one who wants those strange demands more than anyone. Since it was something I was going to bring up anyway, I didn’t hide it, just gave her enough vague information for her imagination to run wild.

“It’s nothing major, just that I bought a few toys that would suit you while we were apart.”

「T-toys?」

“Yeah. Cute and pretty toys that are perfect for a bitch like you.”

「Ah, calling me a bitch…」

She probably understood that those toys were adult toys without needing any explanation. The voice of the Dokyung Group heiress coming from the receiver was trembling subtly, filled with a strange sense of anticipation.

“But unfortunately, it seems I won’t need them this time. Giving you a ‘punishment’ out of the blue when you’ve done nothing wrong doesn’t quite fit the meaning, does it?”

「…….」

“So don’t worry about it, Sihee. If you really want it, I can be satisfied with a ‘normal’ date too.”

A rather long silence followed from the other end of the receiver. And then, her voice delivered the answer I had expected all along.

「I… was jealous…」

“Hm?”

「I was jealous of you, who got promoted to B-class so much faster than when I struggled….」

“But you said no earlier?”

「That’s… If I’m being honest, I was afraid you’d lose affection for me…」

In other words, she’s now willing to risk me losing affection for her just to receive the ‘punishment’? No matter how you put it, it seems she couldn’t abandon the bitch instinct deep within her heart.

“So, Sihee, not only were you childishly jealous of me, who just got promoted to B-class…”

「…….」

“You even lied to hide that pathetic true feeling?”

「……Y-yes…」

“Next time we meet, I really won’t be able to let it slide without giving you a punishment.”

「Y-yes, that’s right… A woman like me, who’s childish and only tells lies, needs punishment…」

Her tone made it easy to imagine her expression beyond the smartphone, and my dick, which had already ejaculated four times, began to rise again.

“You can look forward to it. This time, I’ll give you a much more enjoyable experience than what we had at the beach.”

「Yes, yes!」

“Do bitches normally answer in human words?”

「Woof! Woof woof! Woof!!」

I didn’t expect much from pointing it out, but seeing her bark without hesitation suggests she’s really accumulated a lot of stress while we were apart. Eunbyul is probably nearby, yet she shows no hesitation. Does she figure she already showed me her ugly side at the beach last time, so it doesn’t matter anymore?

“Ah, speaking of which, will Eunbyul-ssi also be accompanying us on this dungeon date?”

I asked, wondering if she was still eavesdropping on my call with Sihee, and soon the voice of the black-haired maid returned.

「Yes. If it were a B-class dungeon, I wouldn’t have planned to participate to avoid disturbing your intimate time, but since you plan to date in an A-class dungeon, I believe it would be best for me to accompany you as well.」

“I see.”

「I will act in a way that minimizes disruption and doesn’t bother Master and Kim Sungchul-nim, so would you please permit my accompaniment?」

“Ah, that’s fine. I also believe a party needs at least three members to be stable.”

「Thank you for your understanding, Kim Sungchul-nim.」

“And also, regarding the ‘punishment’ for Sihee, I have a feeling I might need your help, Eunbyul-ssi.”

「……Is that so?」

“So, if possible, I’d like you to accompany us even after the dungeon date. How about that?”

「…Understood. I will discuss that matter with Master and provide an answer when we meet next.」

“Yes, thank you. I’ll see you next Monday.”

「I will see you next Monday, Kim Sungchul-nim.」

After a brief conversation with Eunbyul, I switched the focus back to Sihee, the original owner of the phone.

“You heard that too, right? If you really think you need to receive a ‘punishment’, discuss it properly with Eunbyul-ssi.”

「Yes, yes!」

“Don’t forget to prepare thoroughly, including your back door, just like always. Though you probably already know without me saying it.”

「Yes!」

“Your answer?”

「…Woof, woof!」

“Alright, good girl. See you next time.”

A chuckle escaped my lips at the dog’s barks coming from the receiver, and I pressed the end call button on the smartphone. Making a date appointment over the phone with another woman while still at the house of the woman I just had sex with. In my previous world, this would have been no different from a typical scumbag gigolo. …But that doesn’t mean I’m clean in this current world, of course.

“…I’m done washing. You go wash up too.”

“Yes, Sunbae.”

After passing Hwayoung Sunbae, who walked out naked and defenseless while drying herself, I entered the bathroom and let the warm water wash over me. For me, who now had a clear goal, applying ordinary moral standards at this point was meaningless.

And then, night, in bed.

“Hey, shit! I told you I wouldn’t! Stop clinging to me like a damn parasite!”

Inside the narrow single bed, the only one available, I hugged Hwayoung Sunbae, who was in her pajamas, like a body pillow. Since there were no clothes to change into, it naturally became a situation where we were pressed together, naked.

“I know. But it’s so cold, I feel like I need your warmth, Sunbae.”

“Then put on some clothes, you dumbass!”

“I told you my clothes are being washed.”

“Then wear my clothes! Why the hell are you pressing against me naked?!”

“Even so, it would be rude to borrow your clothes without wearing underwear.”

“Isn’t rubbing your dick on my thigh not rude?! You really are a funny bastard?!”

Half-ignoring Sunbae, who was spewing curses along with her resistance, I began to peel off her pajamas and underwear one by one from under the covers.

“Hey, hey! Why are you taking off my clothes?!”

“It’s probably warmer if we’re pressed together naked.”

“H-hey, stop it?! Did I warn you?! And I clearly said I wouldn’t do any more today because I’m tired?!”

“I know, I know. I’ll just hug you naked.”

“That kind of nonsensical excuse… Hng, ngh?!”

Every time my hands brushed against her breasts and buttocks while taking off her clothes, Hwayoung Sunbae let out involuntary moans. Even so, I genuinely just wanted to hug her naked body without any ulterior motives and fall asleep.

“Hng, you bastard…”

I hugged Hwayoung Sunbae, who was now naked like me, with all my might from inside the blankets. Her struggling limbs gradually ceased their movement under my firm restraint. The warm, soft, and yielding Sunbae body pillow, exhausted from repeated ejaculations, led me into a deep slumber.

“…Hey, hey.”

“……”

“Are, are you asleep? Huh…?”

“……”

“Are you, really asleep…? Like this…?”

I seemed to hear Sunbae calling me in my sleep, but it wasn’t loud enough to wake me from my exhaustion.

“Haa, shit… You got me all worked up… How can you just…?”

“……”

“……”

“……”

“If, if I angle it like this… it looks like it might go in a little…”

Jjilggeok.

“Ngh… Hng. It’s in…”

…Jjilggeok. …Jjilggeok.

“Y-you’re the bad one… Don’t resent me later for being fucked while you were asleep…”

…Jjilggeok, …Jjilggeok, …Jjilggeok.

“Haa, fuck… It’s hard to move like this…”

For some reason, the soft Sunbae body pillow gave me a strange feeling of warming every corner of my body throughout the night. And somehow, that night, I felt like I had a slightly lewd dream for the first time in a while.
