Chapter 33: Team Leader, This Isn’t the Office

Shin Seom-hwa was, frankly, dumbfounded by the current situation.

Sex that echoed with lewd cries every night? It was bothersome, but she could understand it well enough. But doing it in broad daylight, in a forest like this, was something her common sense couldn’t possibly comprehend.

“Oh, Team Leader-nim? It would have been fine if you were just resting comfortably.”

“W-what are you doing?”

“What do you mean, what am I doing? I’m having sex.”

What was even more baffling was that they didn’t stop, even after being caught. Right before her eyes, Jinwoo continued to thrust his hips.

“Hwaaang! Aang! Haang!”

Jinwoo’s cock went in and out of her pussy. Love juice dripped from between Hilde’s legs. The sight, accompanied by the squelching sound, was shamelessly lewd.

“How can you do this in a forest like this… especially in a situation like this?”

“A forest or a cave, it’s all the same.”

As he spoke, Jinwoo thrust his cock deep inside Hilde’s pussy.

“Hwaaaaaaaang!”

Hilde reached her climax, letting out a moan that had become almost familiar. As he pulled his cock out, her pussy, stretched wide to the size of his cock, was visible. Because Jinwoo was holding her thighs up, the pose became even more explicit.

“Haa, haa.”

“We’re doing this consensually. It’s fine, isn’t it?”

As he let go, Hilde leaned against the tree, panting. Perhaps from the recent exertion, her legs trembled slightly. Jinwoo casually stroked Hilde’s buttocks. As if pleased just by that, she shuddered.

‘What is this? So brazenly right in front of me…’

The unease that had been churning in her heart since arriving on this uninhabited island. She felt it growing stronger and stronger. This time, she couldn’t just let it slide.

Shin Seom-hwa thought so and opened her mouth boldly.

“Even so, this isn’t right. During the day… at the very least, I wish you’d restrain yourself when I’m watching.”

“I don’t want to.”

“Huh?”

What did he just say? Shin Seom-hwa stared at Jinwoo, her eyes wide. He wore an expressionless face, one she had never seen directed at her before.

“Because I don’t think I have any reason to listen to you, Team Leader-nim.”

“W-well, that’s true! But we need rules for group living!”

“What Hilde and I do is our private life. Aren’t you the rude one for peeking, actually?”

She tried to retort. No, she had to. But the words got stuck in her throat. If it were her confident self from before, she would have spoken boldly. But the unique environment of the uninhabited island made her hesitate.

“I, I……”

“Team Leader-nim, this isn’t the company.”

Kim Jinwoo strode forward. Her shoulders flinched without her realizing it. She realized anew that he was a head taller than her.

“Whatever I do, I’ll do as I please. You have no right to interfere for personal reasons. Understand?”

“Well… but……”

This was the first time she had seen Jinwoo act like this. Back in society, he was always a good subordinate who smiled brightly and listened to everything. She never imagined he would act this way. They say people who are usually kind are scarier when they get angry. Seeing Jinwoo, who always worked diligently, act like this made her feel inexplicably hurt and choked up.

‘Back then, he used to follow everything I said.’

Could circumstances really change someone this much? An emotional surge welled up inside her.

“It’s a joke.”

“……Huh?”

“Ahahaha! Why are you so surprised? Did you really think I’d get angry over something like this?”

“Huh, huh?”

She blinked, unable to grasp the situation. A joke? Was that all just now?

“Sorry. Actually, we just had sex to unlock our abilities. We need to do this to use our abilities.”

As if he hadn’t been serious moments ago, Jinwoo smiled his usual smile and started tending to Hilde, who was still panting.

“Because of abilities?”

Shin Seom-hwa asked reflexively, forgetting what had just happened. The revival of abilities. That was the thing she wished for more than anything.

“I mentioned I reawakened my abilities, right? And that I’ve become stronger than when I was in society.”

She nodded. The Giant Crabs he claimed to have hunted and the physical strength he kept displaying. By all accounts, he had grown far beyond the Jinwoo from society.

“Hilde is much stronger than even me. Actually, it’s because the flow of magic power became natural while we were having sex. To be precise, it’s like the blocked ‘qi’ gets released.”

“Sex releases the flow of magic power?”

She had never heard of such a thing. But then again, an island where magic power cannot be used is abnormal in itself.

“Hilde and I accidentally discovered that massage and sex release the flow of magic power. We’ve been doing it consistently ever since.”

“So that’s why you were doing it every day?”

“I also mentioned before that having sex improves my condition, didn’t I?”

Shin Seom-hwa nodded. She recalled him saying that the day after she first witnessed them having sex.

“That’s true to some extent. Of course, it’s partly due to lust. But doing it makes the flow of magic power much easier to feel.”

She never imagined there would be such a secret. However, it probably wasn’t just a made-up excuse or a lie. It was true that Jinwoo had said similar things even before.

“We’re preemptively releasing magic power now, just in case, due to the hunting.”

“Hmm, so that’s what it was.”

Shin Seom-hwa nodded.

‘After all, there’s no way that Kim Jinwoo would just have sex in front of me and spout abuse without thinking.’

There were actually circumstances and reasons behind it all. Thinking that way, her frustrated heart felt slightly relieved.

“……If that’s the case, I wish you’d told me beforehand.”

“Sorry. But I didn’t think it was something you’d easily believe.”

As he spoke, Jinwoo was helping Hilde get dressed. Hilde, whose cheeks were still slightly flushed, certainly seemed more vibrant than before.

‘Having sex releases magic power and lets you use abilities?’

What about me? Her face flushed beet red at the thought that flashed through her mind. No matter what, doing such a thing, especially with a former subordinate. It was unthinkable according to her sense of chastity.

‘But if I can’t use my abilities on this uninhabited island, I’ll just be holding you both back.’

Shin Seom-hwa stood up unnoticed, looked at Hilde who was holding her spear again, and asked.

“Um, so… is there perhaps a way for me to regain my abilities too?”

“Even if it’s not sex, just getting a massage should have some effect.”

At those words, her face brightened noticeably. After all, Shin Seom-hwa had still been trying every morning and night to see if she could use her abilities.

“S-so, can I get that massage too?”

Jinwoo scratched his head at Shin Seom-hwa’s question.

“It’s possible, but there’s a condition. Would you be okay with it?”

“A condition?”

“You have to do an enema every day before receiving the massage. And you have to entrust your body to me.”

Shin Seom-hwa’s face turned red all the way to her ears again.

---

‘She’s contemplating.’

Shin Seom-hwa’s first response to my proposal was ‘refusal’. She said she couldn’t do something like that, no matter how much she craved her abilities. Perhaps due to pride, she refused with quite firm words. But I didn’t miss the hint of expectation that flashed across her face.

‘Shin Seom-hwa can’t give up her abilities, no matter what.’

Imagine stealing a genius singer’s voice; could they maintain their sanity? The discomfort Shin Seom-hwa is feeling now is beyond my imagination. If I can provide a little impetus and motivation here to push her. Shin Seom-hwa will probably beg me herself. Until then, I just need to wait patiently.

“Master, there are footprints here too.”

Hilde, who was walking ahead, spoke. I frowned upon seeing what she pointed to.

“Wolf… No, not just a simple wolf?”

Judging by their size, they’re closer to quite large monsters. And not just one or two. Judging by their number and the pattern, they travel in packs.

Shin Seom-hwa asked with a slightly uneasy expression.

“Wolves appear here too?”

“I haven’t seen any yet. But considering the size of the forest, it wouldn’t be strange if there were.”

There are many herbivores here, making hunting easy. If there were no predators at all, that would be strange.

“But we haven’t seen any until now, so why would they suddenly appear around here?”

“……Maybe it’s because of us.”

I took Adol out of my Inventory and sent it circling using Telekinesis. Just in case of an ambush.

“Since we took over the cave, we wiped out the goblins.”

“We did.”

“Maybe the wolves noticed that too.”

There are no longer over ten goblins. It’s like a pack of predators that lived in the forest has disappeared.

“Maybe the reason rabbits have increased in the area is also because of the wolves.”

“You mean they were driven away by a wolf pack and forced down here?”

“It’s just a possibility.”

It’s half a guess, but it’s probably accurate. It makes sense if that’s the reason Shin Seom-hwa was attacked by the Horned Rabbit before.

‘From the Horned Rabbit’s perspective too, they had nowhere else to retreat.’

What’s certain is that the wolves’ presence is quite significant. If we’re going to be in the forest, we’re bound to run into them eventually.

“Either way, this is annoying.”

I sighed deeply while checking the map.

“To complete the map, I have to go through this forest, which means passing through their territory.”

Wolves already live in packs. And the forest is their home turf. In terms of combat, they have an overwhelming advantage.

‘They’re probably skilled hunters too. Not just ordinary wolves, but monsters, so they’re definitely threatening.’

The combat power of a single one is greater than a Goblin Shaman. They don’t live in secluded dens, and their sense of smell is keen, making ambushing them difficult.

“If we have to fight, we’ll need to be prepared.”

“Wolves, huh……”

Shin Seom-hwa muttered uncertainly. For her, without her abilities, fighting wolves is practically a death sentence.

‘…….This might actually be good.’

But seeing Shin Seom-hwa like that, I smiled faintly.

“Team Leader-nim, if you’re okay with it, would you like to spar with Hilde?”

This was the chance to push her.
