Chapter 513: Awkward First Meeting (2)

After Eunbyul’s self-introduction, which had been intense in many ways from the very first impression, concluded.

Since Eunbyul also needed to be introduced to Min-ah’s three sisters, the introduction naturally moved on to them.

“Eunbyul, this friend with the gray hair is Han Min-ah. We graduated from the same hunter training school together back in middle and high school, and now we’re active in the same party at Eun & Ok Co., Ltd.”

“I, I’m pleased to meet you….”

“I am also pleased to meet you, Han Min-ah-nim.”

“H, Han Min-ah-nim?!”

Han Min-ah reacted with surprise to the extreme honorifics suddenly directed at her.

It seemed she wasn’t quite used to hearing titles like “So-and-so-nim” from an active-duty maid.

Well, it takes time to get used to things. I went through the same process when I first met her.

“Is there something that made you uncomfortable, Han Min-ah-nim?”

“Ah, no…! It’s not that anything’s uncomfortable, it’s just, you don’t need to use such extreme honorifics! You can just call me Min-ah-ssi comfortably, or, ah, just Han Min-ah is fine too.”

“No, I cannot do that. Han Min-ah-nim is the Master’s friend and colleague, so I must also respond with courtesy.”

“Ah, no…. I’m not really that kind of person….”

“Just accept it, Min-ah. Eunbyul is just more comfortable this way.”

“…Seriously, how can you so casually call Eunbyul by her name?”

…After calling her casually a few times in bed, it just became natural.

Since I couldn’t give the same answer openly in front of my sisters, I just smiled and vaguely brushed it off before continuing with the introductions of my younger sisters.

“These ones here are Han Jin-ah and Han Seon-ah. The one with the white twin-tails is Han Jin-ah, and the one with the long black straight hair is Han Seon-ah.”

“It is a pleasure to meet you, Han Jin-ah-nim, Han Seon-ah-nim.”

“Y-yes…. Eunbyul Unnie.”

“I’m also happy to meet my Oraboni’s acquaintance, Eunbyul Unnie.”

Unlike Jin-ah, who reacted awkwardly just like Min-ah, Seon-ah responded quite well, seemingly accustomed to the awkward titles.

Perhaps because she has a very curious personality, her adaptability seemed to be the best among the three sisters.

“Jin-ah and Seon-ah are Min-ah’s twin younger sisters, and Jin-ah is the older twin. And the three of us have lived together since we were young.”

“…Living together, just as sisters?”

“Yes, Eunbyul.”

“…….”

Eunbyul’s expression stiffened the moment the word ‘sisters’ was mentioned.

…Come to think of it, Eunbyul had fled to our house because her relationship with her sisters wasn’t good.

Sisterly love must have been a traumatic trigger she didn’t want to recall.

I quickly changed the subject and continued introducing the three sisters.

“W-well, originally, we were planning to sell the old house we lived in, the three of us, and move with the mindset of a fresh start.”

“Yes.”

“But various problems arose with the house we were supposed to move into, making it impossible to enter…. So, in the end, we decided to stay at my place until we find a new home. It seemed much better than living in a motel or something.”

“I believe that’s a good idea, Master. There are enough rooms for your friends to stay.”

“I’ll ask you to tidy up the master bedroom later. I want to put them in a room with a bed if possible.”

“Yes, I’ve noted it.”

Maid Eunbyul nodded in response to my words.

After responding, she immediately shifted her gaze to Min-ah’s three sisters, who had heard the explanation.

She then took Min-ah’s right hand with both of hers, made eye contact, and said.

“It must have been tough with the problems that arose with the house you were moving into, Han Min-ah-nim. And to your sisters as well.”

“Ah, it’s nothing…! It wasn’t really that tough, S-Sung Taekyung helped a lot, so it ended without major issues.”

“…A-actually, I prefer Taekyung Oppa’s house to the new one…!”

“Little Unnie, read the room.”

Inside the living room, a strangely awkward atmosphere still seemed to linger.

Perhaps because the first meeting itself was so intense, the mood couldn’t easily shake off the awkwardness.

Still, in a way, perhaps it wasn’t entirely bad that Eunbyul showed ‘that side’ of herself for the first time.

Even though Eunbyul was working as a maid at my house, avoiding Geumhyang’s attention, she was still one of the hunters whose sexual urges I managed.

During the time Min-ah’s sisters would be staying at our house, there would eventually be a need to resolve Eunbyul’s urges.

It would take at least half a year to a year for the three sisters to find, contract, and move into a new home, and during that time, I couldn’t neglect Eunbyul’s sexual needs just because I had to be mindful of Min-ah’s sisters.

I would definitely have to sleep with her several times, and perhaps during that process, one of Min-ah’s sisters might catch us.

If that’s going to happen, maybe it would have been better if she’d been caught naked from the very first meeting.

Although it wasn’t intentional, by showing her naked body, there was no need to maintain a secret relationship when the time came to handle her urges again.

More importantly, it allowed me to naturally let the three sisters know that Eunbyul, like them, was a hunter whose urges I managed.

Thinking it was best to address it while the topic was up, I clearly mentioned that aspect to Eunbyul and the sisters.

“As you might have guessed from Eunbyul’s attire earlier, Eunbyul is one of the hunters whose urges I manage. Just like you sisters.”

“S-so that’s how it was…. W-well, it makes sense, a maid just staying with us wouldn’t normally walk around the house dressed like that.”

“…Does that mean these people too? That everyone here has shared intimate moments with the Master?”

“That’s about right. Actually, the reason I couldn’t come home last night was because of this. The twin sisters here suddenly went into heat, so I had to take care of that first.”

“T-Taekyung Oppa! You didn’t need to say all that…!”

“We were going to find out eventually anyway since we’ll be living together. We’re not leaving after just a day or two; we’ll be here for at least a few months.”

“T-that’s true…. But still, talking about heat and stuff right from the first meeting with Eunbyul Unnie feels a bit….”

…Perhaps that part was a bit sensitive for these sisters.

I couldn’t possibly know the specific sensitivities of Beast-type hunters, so maybe I made a mistake unintentionally.

Although, we would have learned it eventually living together anyway.

“So, when you say the Master resolved the heat for the two of you, does that mean Han Jin-ah-nim and Han Seon-ah-nim are Beast-type hunters?”

“Yes, w-we’re Beast-type, Eunbyul Unnie.”

“My little unnie is an American Rabbit, and I’m a Black Fox. And our eldest sister, Min-ah Unnie, is a Russian Blue.”

“So all three sisters are Beast-type Awakeners.”

“Yes. That’s why I resolve the heat for these three sisters whenever the opportunity arises. It’s a good opportunity for me too, as I can gain Awakening Points.”

“I think it’s a good method. It makes me happy to see the Master grow into a stronger hunter.”

“And it saves quite a bit on the cost of heat suppressants. They aren’t cheap enough to be considered pocket change, so it’s much better for the three of them to be intimate with me than to take suppressants, isn’t it?”

“…Are heat suppressants really that expensive?”

“A pill costing over 50,000 won isn’t cheap. Annually, it’s easily hundreds of thousands of won, and with three people, it’s almost a million won a year.”

“Yes. A million won a year isn’t that expensive when you consider it annually, that’s why I said….”

“…Eunbyul. For people like us, a million won is definitely a lot of money.”

“……!”

As soon as I whispered in a small voice only she could hear, Eunbyul realized the slip-up she had made.

Although she was working as my maid now, her true identity was Geum Nari, the chaebol heiress of the Geumhyang Group.

It was unreasonable to expect Eunbyul, who had been working as a servant for the Dokyung Group until just ten days ago, to have the financial sense of an ordinary person.

“I-I’m sorry! I, I made a mistake…!”

“It’s okay, Eunbyul. It’s understandable to make such a mistake.”

“I-I truly didn’t mean to deceive you all! It was just my ignorance that was disrespectful…!”

“I’m telling you, it’s really okay. …W-why are you suddenly bowing down to the floor?!”

“I, I committed a disrespectful act, so the only thing I can do is bow my head to the floor in apology….”

“N-no! It’s okay, please lift your head, Eunbyul-ssi! We don’t think you were disrespectful to us!”

“No one here thinks Eunbyul did anything wrong, so please just sit down.”

“…Excuse me.”

Is it a trait of women from the Foundation to try and smash their heads on the floor when apologizing?

Just like that incident when Do Yehee barged into my house last time, Eunbyul now seemed almost instinctively obsessed with bowing her head to the floor.

The evaluation that women from the Foundation were somehow strange was firmly imprinted in my mind as the awkward first meeting concluded for the day.

Then, the next day, I received contact from a woman from the Foundation again.

「Sungchul-ssi, are you free next time?」

「Kim Sungchul-ssi, I have a proposal for you」

And it was from two people at once, no less.
