Chapter 602: Private Interview (2)

After spending a good time with Areum at her workshop residence, three more days passed.

Over the past three days, rather than focusing on things like sex, I focused on my hunter life for the first time in a while.

Lately, I felt like I’d been moving my body too much according to my desires, and it just so happened that the Sky Shield’s regular expedition coincided.

“Taekyung! Be careful up ahead!”

“I know!”

“Sung Taekyung! The next leg!”

“Roger that, Cheon Jihee-ssi!”

Perhaps because it felt like a proper party hunt for the first time in a while, it was quite a rewarding day. As a result, we were able to defeat the Black Crystal Spider Queen, the final objective of the Crystal Spider Cave, too.

Perhaps because everyone had risen to A+ rank hunters, it felt even easier than when we first defeated the White Crystal Spider Queen.

Now, it must be time for Sky Shield to move up to the next level of dungeon. After all, the entire party’s rank had already changed to A+ class.

And as for what I did besides focusing on my hunter life… it was probably viewing the hunter information of Areum, with whom I had relations.

Originally, I hadn’t intended to add anyone else to the existing relationships where bodies were shared.

As I’ve said before, if the number of people increased any further, I felt like there would be a limit to how many times I could satisfy my sexual desires.

Of course, if I were to decide to spend every day just meeting women and sticking my dick in them instead of hunting, I wouldn’t mind increasing the number without a second thought, but I wasn’t really looking forward to that kind of future.

For me, since I hadn’t yet achieved my ultimate goal as a hunter, even for the sake of my final dream, it wasn’t the time to be spending my days idly.

Creating a world where people don’t die by monsters.

That, more than anything, was still like a final goal I had to achieve someday, so until I reached that final goal, it wasn’t time to be resting carelessly.

That’s why I had been blocking the attention of other hunters from the company who showed interest in me, but I thought maybe Areum could be an exception, so I formed a relationship with her.

With her, since I first met her not long after I transferred to the company, we had known each other for quite a long time.

Strictly speaking, I had known her for much longer than Do Yehee. It’s just that various incidents happened in between, so I ended up forming a relationship with Do Yehee first, not Areum.

With Do Yehee, whom I met later and whose first impression of me was the worst, having shared relations multiple times, ignoring the affection of Areum, whom I had known longer and felt a better impression of, felt somehow awkward.

I thought it would be okay as long as it was Areum, so I had sex with her, and as a result, I think we had a quite satisfying time.

Thanks to that, her hunter information was registered on my sexual desire management hunter list like this.

『013.

Name: Soo Areum

Awakened Ability: One Final Shot

Current Estimated Points: 55

Current Location (Check)

Current Favorability: 65』

Seeing Areum’s cute appearance registered on my current sexual desire management hunter list, I was quite satisfied in a way.

From now on, I won’t have to worry about noticing when Areum’s sexual desire is building up, and when I go to pick up the weapons she’s holding, we can share our love.

It was a moment where the future looked promising in many ways.

…However, the one thing I found regrettable was the hunter information regarding Lulusia, which was registered by mistake before Areum.

『012.

Name: Lulusia Belmonte

Awakened Ability: Panacea’s Touch, and others.

Current Estimated Points: 25

Current Location (Check)

Current Favorability: 40』

Seeing the hunter name Lulusia Belmonte remaining on list number 12, it was an unavoidable phenomenon that I felt a strange sense of discomfort.

Do Yehee above, Soo Areum below.

Both of them were hunters I had shared a deep relationship with, yet the fact that I hadn’t formed a relationship only with Lulusia, who was sandwiched between them, felt strangely disappointing.

“……”

No, I won’t.

Regardless of whether I do or not, it’s not like I can’t do it; it’s that I can’t do it in the first place.

It wasn’t a simple, one-dimensional issue like Lulusia lacking charm.

If anything, she was overflowing with charm. Her cute face, her alluring body, and of course, her innocent personality.

However, forming a relationship with the Vatican’s Saintess would inevitably lead to catastrophic consequences in many ways, so for the sake of my own safety, and furthermore, the safety of my colleagues and guild, she was someone I couldn’t afford to touch.

Just because it felt awkward that there was no one I’d shared relations with on my hunter management list, to try and steal the holy power of a foreign Saintess – does that even make sense?

Putting my own discomfort aside, it was indeed best to consider Lulusia’s entry as an exception.

…I just had to be satisfied with being the only man to have touched the Vatican Saintess’s chest. Though it was accidental.

If only to forget my lingering feelings about Lulusia, it would be better in many ways to focus on what I gained from sharing relations with Areum.

What I gained from having sex with her wasn’t just registering her on my sexual desire management hunter list.

『Cumming from oral sex alone』

『Having sex to raise each other’s body temperature in a cold region』

It was truly unbelievable, but it seemed there were still elements to gain related to the first-time achievement records.

First, regarding cumming from oral sex, I had somewhat expected it. Since it was a play I had never done before, I thought it was quite possible.

Just as there were achievements related to fellatio and anal sex, it was only natural that there would be achievements related to oral sex too.

In fact, there were many opportunities, and many people who could have done it for me.

At least among the women I’d had relations with, those for whom oral sex was physically impossible were Min-ah and Eunbyul, just two people.

It’s just that every time we had sex, my desire to receive fellatio was stronger than to give oral sex, so most acts were directed towards fellatio.

Actually, what was more interesting was the second achievement.

I never imagined that the sex we had in a bathtub filled with cold water would be recognized by the system as ‘sex to raise each other’s body temperature in a cold region’.

Whether it was a loophole in my awakened ability or if the system just counted it because the conditions were met, I don’t know, but either way, this was also an achievement I likely wouldn’t have obtained in my lifetime if it weren’t for Areum.

I thought I had experienced all sorts of sex with various women, but the fact that there were still new experiences to be had was enjoyable in many ways.

After spending three days diligently fulfilling my roles as both a hunter and a sexual desire manager.

The day after the group expedition, I was on my lonely commute to work, without Hye-eun or Min-ah for the first time in a while.

‘Yesterday was the group expedition, so today, there probably won’t be anyone else around. And Han Min-ah probably already entered a dungeon by now.’

Han Min-ah had left for work a bit earlier this morning, saying she had a schedule with another party, so it was highly likely her schedule wouldn’t align today.

Hye-eun and Cheon Jihee seemed to be resting today because they overexerted themselves a bit during yesterday’s group subjugation, and Cha Yuri tends to only come to work on days she has sex with me, excluding group expeditions, so she probably won’t be coming in today.

In the end, it meant today would likely be a lonely day spent clearing a dungeon alone after coming to work.

‘If only the S-class hunter promotion process would hurry up, I’d rather go to work at the Foundation.’

For reference, starting from S-class hunters, they gain a status akin to national VIPs, and various restrictions in hunter life disappear, one of which is the ability to work at any hunter guild within South Korea. Not only the three major guilds-the Company, the Union, and the Foundation-but also regional guilds based outside of Seoul, allowing free access.

If I became an S-class hunter, I wouldn’t have to worry about what others thought and could party hunt with Sihee at the Foundation.

Of course, it also meant I could form a party not only with Sihee but also with Lulusia or Do Yehee, who were from the Foundation. Although I had never officially formed a party and worked with either of them.

Besides that, as it was a position with many privileges, the number of S-class hunters had to be limited by the South Korean government. Because they couldn’t guarantee what kind of ripple effect increasing the number of S-class hunters by even one would cause in the future.

Still, according to the CEO, thanks to my achievement in reclaiming territories and the fact that I was a male Awakener, it was nearly impossible for me not to pass the screening, so I just had to wait for the results, even if it took time.

Of course, I was still an A+ rank hunter, not an S-class, so I couldn’t go to the Foundation, and after the fact that I was a male Awakener became known, it felt a bit burdensome to frequent the Union.

In reality, I thought of today as just another day to fill my attendance requirement, much like a regular office worker.

…But upon hearing the CEO’s summons right after arriving at work, today was also destined to be a bit different from the usual.

“Hunter Sung Taekyung, you have been summoned by the CEO.”

“…CEO Seo Ok-hee?”

“Yes. She is waiting in the conference room on the 17th floor, so please respond to her summons.”

“…Ah, yes. I’ll head up right away.”

After hearing the guild employee, I got into the elevator and pressed the 17th-floor button, lost in thought.

I couldn’t have predicted then that the series of events I would experience today would not only change my hunter life but also significantly intervene in the process of achieving my dream.
