Chapter 25

I Installed a Dating App and Girls from Another World Became Obsessed with Me.

Episode 25: Martial Arts (2).

“Heu, heok, heok!!”

“Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill.”

I ran like crazy through the forest surrounded by trees.

Even though I was pushing through obstacles like all kinds of bushes and branches, my speed, enhanced by mana, was close to 40 km/h.

However, the pressure of the terrifying murderous intent aiming for the back of my neck didn’t go away at all. Rather, it was getting closer little by little.

“No! I didn’t mean to peek!”

“Shut up, you heretic.”

Words didn’t work.

Her endlessly cold voice made me even have the illusion that my neck had already been cut.

‘Should I subdue her?’

It wasn’t certain, but the difference in skill between that woman and me wouldn’t be that great.

If she was an opponent who could compete with me, I, who had the hidden card of magic, had the advantage. Besides, I knew several spells for restraint, so I was an opponent I could subdue if I wanted to.

But the job written in her profile bothered me.

[Name: Cheon Yeo-hwa

Age: 20 years old

Affiliation: AXZ-174

Occupation: Second Daughter of the Heavenly Demon Sect

Disposition: ??]

‘What the hell is the Heavenly Demon Sect!’

As you could see from her profile, that woman’s identity was none other than the second daughter of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

That meant this was a world of martial arts.

If I, who had peeked at the Heavenly Demon Sect’s daughter’s naked body, even subdued her?

‘That’s him! Kill that lecherous bastard!’

‘It’s the Lord’s order! For the sake of the Lady’s honor, tear that guy’s limbs apart and throw them to the dogs!!’

‘Kieeeeeet!!’

Just thinking about it sent chills down my spine.

If the opponent was an orthodox sect, there would have been a chance for some kind of excuse, but the idea that there would be a chance to make excuses to the crazy demonic cult guys was a naive idea.

‘Why does the matching opponent have to be the daughter of a nationwide violent organization boss!!’

This was so unfair.

Was it my fault? The app has been maliciously trolling my summoning location since last time, right?

“Listen to me first, will you?!”

She didn’t even answer anymore.

She was just running at me like a serial killer, trying to stab my neck.

‘I’m going crazy, really.’

If I kept running away like this, there would be no end.

But if I subdued her? That would only be a bad move to turn away from the problem at hand.

“Kyaak?!”

“?!”

While I was continuing to run away frantically without thinking of a suitable solution, I couldn’t help but stop at Cheon Yeo-hwa’s scream from behind.

For a moment, I wondered if this was a trap, but Cheon Yeo-hwa, who was following me with the intent to kill me… no, with the real intent to kill me, had collapsed under some strange net.

‘What is that?’

Then someone appeared from the nearby bushes.

“Kyahaha! Finally caught her!”

“Kiya, I thought she was crazy when I saw her from afar, but she’s even more beautiful up close, isn’t she?”

“Wow, if we had tried to catch her head-on, some of us would have died, right? This is an expensive iron net, but she’s already trying to break free.”

“We were lucky. I didn’t expect to find such a high-quality item on the way back to the hideout.”

I was stunned by the unexpected situation, but then a few men appeared who looked like they were saying, “We’re definitely bandits!”

There were about a dozen of them, I guess?

“You trashy bastards!!”

No… it’s obvious that they threw the net, but why are you swearing at me?

Is this also the trolling I have to endure?

“Boss, look at this woman’s smooth skin. She looks like a rich man’s daughter. Would she be okay?”

“You idiot.”

“Ack?!”

“If you’re going to be scared of something like that, why be a bandit? We’re not a green forest, we’ll just take turns and move the hideout. Who’s going to know?”

Well, as expected of a dirty-looking guy, his voice was very loud.

Thanks to that, I could hear everything they were saying without missing a single word.

So, they found me and Cheon Yeo-hwa chasing each other in the forest? They were fascinated by Cheon Yeo-hwa’s appearance and tried to kidnap her, and they succeeded?

‘They don’t even know that the apple they’re about to eat is a poisoned apple.’

If the Heavenly Demon Sect in the works I knew was correct, they would try to kill them even if they burned down several mountains, even if they moved their hideout.

Of course, since I was a kind man who loved nature, I was going to prevent such a situation from happening.

“Hey.”

The bandits’ eyes all turned to me.

They were saying something, but I didn’t really want to hear it.

“Well, I don’t really have anything to say.”

I grabbed the wand I took out of my inventory and pointed it at them.

“Die.”

[Chain Flame Circle]

A streak of fire fired from the magic circle at the speed of light pierced through their bodies.

“Kuaaaak!?!!”

“Uwaaak!!!”

“It’s, it’s hot!!!?”

The screams of the bandits, who were suddenly burned by fire, echoed throughout the forest.

The guys with fire all over their bodies rolled on the floor and ran around trying to put out the fire, but once it started, the fire only burned more fiercely, using their bodies as firewood.

Before long, the bandits became roasted and lay scattered on the floor like trash.

They lasted quite a long time for bandits.

And strangely enough, they were still alive.

“Ugh, ugh…”

“This, this…”

“Kkuuuh…”

They were still alive even though their whole bodies were charred black, was this what they called the mystery of the human body?

Maybe it was thanks to the fact that I lowered the power so that Cheon Yeo-hwa wouldn’t get hit.

I turned my eyes away from the guys who had become mysterious objects. If they suffered for a while in that state and then died, it would be enough to soothe the souls of the victims who had likely been harmed by them.

It was a bit of a dirty voice to listen to, but it was bearable.

“Just wait a moment, I’ll untie you soon.”

I carefully untied Cheon Yeo-hwa from the iron net so she wouldn’t get hurt.

By the way, I thought it was cheap because the bandits used it, but I was surprised that it was unexpectedly heavy.

I don’t think I could have escaped easily even if I had been caught in this.

“Are you okay?”

Cheon Yeo-hwa, who had escaped from the iron net, looked at me with a strange expression.

Sigh, she knew I was handsome.

“…Why.”

“Hm?”

“Why did you save me?”

“Do you want to go back in?”

When I pretended to lift the iron net, she took a step back, and I sighed.

I was upset that I almost got stabbed, but now she was asking me why I saved her.

“Then should I just watch a woman get dragged away and raped by bandits in front of my eyes?”

“…I see, you didn’t want to lose the opponent you had marked to someone else. You’re such a lecherous bastard.”

“No, damn it…!”

This woman was impossible to talk to.

“Why am I a lecherous bastard!”

“Didn’t you peek at a woman’s naked body?”

“It’s a misunderstanding! I have a girlfriend who is prettier than you! Why would I risk my life to peek at a woman with a sword taking a bath!”

“Oh? That’s something I can’t easily ignore.”

Cheon Yeo-hwa suddenly swept back her wet bangs and gave me a provocative smile.

“There’s no way there’s a woman more beautiful than me in this world, but it’s really laughable to see men trying to inflate their pathetic pride.”

“…”

If you only looked at her transparent skin, red eyes like rubies, and body that clothes clung tightly to due to the water, it was clear that she was a great beauty comparable to Iris.

And her chest too.

‘It was amazing earlier.’

Not as big as Iris, but almost as big.

“Judging by your inability to answer, it seems it was just empty bravado.”

Her strangely triumphant voice was annoying.

I admit that Cheon Yeo-hwa was as pretty as Iris, but she was not prettier than Iris.

I wanted to say, “What nonsense, of course my girlfriend is prettier,” but the situation wasn’t right.

I was scared of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

“Anyway, I’m sorry for peeking, but it was definitely not intentional, right? It was an unwanted accident for both of us, so how about we just let it go?”

“No, how dare you try to get away with peeking at the naked body of a virgin who hasn’t even married yet.”

“…What do you want?”

It was a miserable and pathetic moment where the strong and the weak were clearly divided.

No, it’s the app’s fault for summoning me to a strange place, was it my fault?

Honestly, if it weren’t for the background of the Heavenly Demon Sect’s daughter and my matching opponent, I would have just subdued her, apologized, and then either traveled with her or ran away, but I can’t, which is very regrettable.

“That’s strange.”

“…What.”

I felt more uneasy at her voice mixed with a strange smile.

“Isn’t it your wish to beg me for mercy and save your life? Then it’s also your job to decide what to offer in exchange for your life. You’re shameless for a lecherous bastard, aren’t you?”

Wow…

That was strange? We hadn’t met for long, and we hadn’t even talked much, but I thought I knew how bad her personality was.

Was this telepathy?

“Then can I give you anything?”

“Of course, it’s up to me to decide whether to give you mercy or a blade in exchange for a price.”

Why was she suddenly wiping your sword?

‘Sigh…’

While sighing inwardly, I recalled what I had packed in my inventory and bag.

What did I have that a woman would like?

It’s hard to just gloss over it, considering the opponent was the daughter of the leader of a crazy cult that, in most works, was said to be able to stand alone against the entire righteous martial arts world.

I didn’t know why such a woman was taking a bath in this forest, but I had to give her something that a rich man’s daughter would like, which made me indecisive.

‘…Would this work?’

Most of the food I brought as supplies was relatively high in calories. Of course, if I ran out of food, I could end the matching, but what if that situation came?

I hoped that didn’t happen, but it was good to be prepared in advance, so I prepared mainly emergency food.

And chocolate was a great emergency food that is relatively nutritious among snacks and contained a lot of fat.

“Here.”

“What is this…?”

What I gave her was chocolate I bought at a convenience store.

Just a plain chocolate with no particular features.

“It looks strange… it doesn’t look like a jewel… the rustling packaging is interesting? I’ve never seen anything like this before. Is it from the barbarians?”

No, ma’am. Unless of course you considered our ancestors as barbarians…

Of course, the origin of cacao was not Korean, but this was made in Korea.

I, who was suddenly hit with an ancestor insult, felt dizzy.

“Not barbarians, but Haedong.”

“Haedong? Oh, you mean that country in the eastern sea. Then aren’t they barbarians?”

“Hey…!”

I was not a patriotic guy, but I couldn’t tolerate my roots being treated as barbarians.

I didn’t care if you insulted Korea.

But I couldn’t stand being called a descendant of barbarians.

“Hehe, even though you’re a lecherous bastard, you seem to cherish your homeland.”

“What’s that… sigh, stop talking nonsense and eat it.”

“Eat it? Are you saying this black lump is food?”

“Then is it an elixir?”

I couldn’t even eat an elixir because I didn’t have one.

Actually, I wanted to eat an elixir as soon as I saved money. But it was not cheap, so I couldn’t afford it.

‘…Wait a minute? If it’s martial arts, it’s an elixir.’

Suddenly, I felt a desire to become a god-tier player and spread my name throughout this Central Plains.

It might be easier than I thought if there were no CCTV or psychometry users in this world.

‘How much money would I get if I took an elixir they don’t need and sold it at an auction?’

I could see myself in the future, opening a (anyway, very expensive) wine in a penthouse.

“Haa…”

What woke me up from my daydream of a bright future was a strange moan.

In Cheon Yeo-hwa’s hand was a neatly folded empty chocolate wrapper.

“The black pill-like food you gave me, it looked a bit repulsive, but it tastes very good. It’s sweeter and more intense than any snack I’ve ever had.”

Cheon Yeo-hwa’s face after eating the chocolate was dangerous.

Her slightly loosened eyes and reddish blush on her white skin enhanced her beauty by several levels.

Why was she eating convenience store chocolate like a 19+ photo shoot?

“But you called me a lecherous bastard. Is it okay to eat something a lecherous bastard gives you?”

“I’m sorry if you were expecting it, but poison doesn’t work on me. Besides, I welcome any sweet Mihonsan or aphrodisiac like this.”

No, what… Was the Heavenly Demon Sect’s daughter immune to all poisons?

“So, don’t you have more?”

“What?”

“You’re not trying to atone for the great sin of peeking at my naked body with just one, are you?”

How could she be so shameless?

But she was so pretty that I forgave her.

Still, I didn’t want to just give it to her because I was upset that she called an innocent model citizen a perverted lecherous bastard.

“I don’t have any.”

“That’s a lie. How many cunning people do you think I’ve met? They at least try to hide their true intentions. But you don’t even try to do that.”

“It’s not a lie.”

“Are you perhaps sulking because I called you a lecherous bastard? Hehe, you’re a narrow-minded man.”

“…”

Couldn’t I change my matching opponent?

Damn it…
