Chapter 68: Investing in a Heroine [R-18]
by MeherThe time had come for Kim Sang-hyeok, the onahole collector, to sell his onaholes to transcendent beings called demon merchants and power up.
In the blue corner, the fish-man.
Though he didn’t look it at all, he was said to be as strong as an SS-rank hunter.
In the red corner, the goblin king.
This was the same goblin mister I’d dealt with before. He was glaring at the fish-man as if he were an intruder.
Now, what was I supposed to do?
Let them kill each other?
“Pay him no mind, Sang-hyeok-nim. This one didn’t come to buy onaholes.”
“Onahole. Came to buy,” the fish-man said.
His speech pattern was incredibly strange…
“But how did you know I was selling onaholes?”
“Because of goblin. Demon world in an uproar.”
“Well, I did release such a sensational item onto the market. It was bound to cause a stir.”
Sensational…
More like demonic.
The goblin mister’s eyes gleamed as he scanned Kushina from head to toe.
“Ooh? Sang-hyeok-nim, have you already discovered its taste for yourself?”
“It was an unfortunate accident. Playing with her like that isn’t my thing.”
“Ah, is that so?”
“For the record, she’s not for sale.”
I squeezed Kushina’s hand.
“Maaaster… I love you…”
“I have no need for a pig-like human pet anyway.”
“Pig-like?!? My waist is 23 inches!” Kushina shot back, seemingly unable to accept being called a pig, even by a terrifying demon merchant.
“First, let’s see the goods. Hena, can you lay down some platforms?”
“Okay!”
I didn’t want the merchandise to get sandy.
Hena laid Void platforms on the sand, and I arranged the onaholes in order.
First, the most common onaholes…
Fifty-two of them.
Goblin onaholes, orc onaholes, fish-man onaholes—a diverse collection.
“Ooh! All of them are fresh and undamaged.”
Fresh. That was the right word.
I had stored them untouched with their personalities at 100%.
The fish-man’s scales glittered as he gave some kind of strange reaction.
“Next up, the fine pieces.”
I had only managed to get a few today, bringing the total number of fine pieces to eight.
“Magnificent. To think I would encounter such splendid works again.”
Finally, the masterpieces.
When the masterpiece onahole I got from killing the shark giant emerged from my inventory, the misters fell silent. They could only swallow dryly.
“These are the goods I have. What’ll it be?”
“Needless to say, I’ll buy them all!”
“Will buy! All!”
Yuuna, who was clinging to a Void platform, watched the excited demon merchants and said, “…This is the second time, but I’m still not used to it. To think demon merchants want Sang-hyeok’s onaholes that badly…”
“Alright, let’s start with the cheaper ones. All together.”
“800,000!”
“900,000. I’ll buy.”
“1,000,000!”
“1,100,000!”
The total value of all the onaholes below the masterpieces was 1,426,538 Coins.
The goblin mister bought them.
Kushina was completely shocked by the amount.
“No way… Master, were you secretly a world-renowned onahole craftsman?”
“Well, I’m the only one in the world.”
…Because I’m the only protagonist in Onahole Academy.
“M-May I touch this masterpiece, Sang-hyeok-nim?”
“Just a little. Don’t stick anything in the holes.”
“Beautiful!!”
The fish-man was excited, too.
“I’ll take this. 2 million.”
“No, 2.1 million.”
“You should learn to concede at least one. You greedy piece of trash goblin.”
“Kekeke. Being called greedy is a compliment to a merchant, is it not?”
“Don’t fight. There are two, so you can each buy one. The fish-man mister came a long way, after all.”
Swoosh.
As I held out a masterpiece onahole, the fish-man’s eyes lit up with life.
“Th-Thank you.”
“Kugh. Sang-hyeok-nim’s generosity is as vast as the sea… To bestow such kindness upon this ill-mannered fish-head.”
“You too, mister, stop complaining and take this. 2 million each.”
After selling all the onaholes, I had amassed about 5.4 million Coins.
Now it was time to buy stats.
“I’d like to buy some stats, misters.”
“Keke. Of course. We’ll serve you at a bargain price.”
So much money.
It wasn’t like I was going to buy a house right now, so there was no point in carrying it all around.
Investing most of it in stats to get stronger now would allow me to earn even more Coins later.
Didn’t I get a bonus for collecting the masterpiece onahole at the end?
[Strength +6]
[Stamina +6]
[Agility +6]
[Dexterity +6]
The log was still there.
What about the total for everything I swept up this round?
[Collection Effect: 【Doesn’t Smell Fishy】 confirmed.]
[Collection Effect (Strength +16, Agility +15, Stamina +15, Dexterity +9, Magic +3)]
I’d gained quite a few stat points from completing the collection book in this dungeon.
I’d leveled up a lot, too…
My current stats were…
Kim Sang-hyeok
Lv 23 (D)
Strength『96』(+30)
Agility『58』(+28)
Stamina『66』(+23)
Dexterity『93』(+20)
(Hidden) Magic『0』(+6)
(Hidden) Charm『999』
(Hidden) Ejaculation『8』
‘At this rate…’
Including the collection bonus, I was probably in the upper echelons of B-rank.
“You’ve improved a lot, Kim Sang-hyeok.”
Yuuna had sidled up to me and was looking at my stats.
“That’s embarrassing.”
“I’m your girlfriend, what does it matter? Show me, show me.”
“This is about where I’m at right now…”
“Your Dexterity and Strength are over a hundred, if you include the bonuses, right?”
“That’s right.”
That was the reason my martial arts were surprisingly strong.
I’d even managed to beat Kushina in a fight.
『Firearm Proficiency』: Proficiency required to handle all firearms. The level increases with use, strengthening the shooting correction. Current Level: 8
『Martial Arts』(Tutor: Isabella): The ability to understand and utilize all forms of martial arts. Current Level: 14
『Onahole Clone Martial Arts』: Summons an onahole from the inventory to fight alongside you. As you become more proficient, your combinations become more fluid. Current Level: 4
My Magical Beast Steel-infused Glock and high Dexterity weren’t for nothing.
They synergized with my Firearm Proficiency, and in the end, I was able to land the final blow on the shark giant when it exposed its innards, earning me the MVP for contribution.
The tactical advantage of a gun was not to be underestimated.
‘The stats I buy from now on will cost a pretty penny, but…’
I made up my mind.
Strength『130』(+30)
Agility『90』(+28)
Stamina『90』(+23)
Dexterity『140』(+20)
I bought a total of 137 stat points, bringing me to the cusp of B-rank.
My Strength and Dexterity had grown to the point where they were definitely knocking on the door of A-rank.
Cost: 3,130,000 Coins.
“You guys really gave me a discount, right?”
“Of course, of course.”
The fish-man didn’t say anything either, so it seemed to be true…
“Opportunities to buy this many stats from a demon merchant are rare!”
I had about 2.4 million Coins left…
I glanced at my squad members, who were shuffling their feet with embarrassing looks of anticipation, trying to pretend they weren’t expecting anything.
It looked like they were hoping I’d buy them some this time, too.
Alright. Why not?
It was an investment in the strength of our squad.
“All three of you, come here.”
I focused on buying Magic for Hena, who had the lowest overall stats.
I didn’t want her to have a glaring weakness like Stella, so I bought some Agility too.
Hena didn’t know what to do as she watched the numbers on the counter keep rising.
“H-Hiiiik! Y-You don’t have to buy this, this much… Your Coins… Sang-hyeok’s precious Coins are disappearing…”
“There goes 400,000!”
“Hwaaah!! I’m going to become Sang-hyeok’s slave!”
I raised Hena’s Magic from 67 to 120 and her Agility from 30 to 50.
Next was Yuuna.
Strength 200, Agility 180, Stamina 150…
Besides Dexterity, all of Yuuna’s stats were higher than mine.
“…Strength…” Yuuna muttered.
“You want me to buy you Strength?”
“…Yeah… b-buy it for me…”
“Try asking a little more cutely.”
“P-Pwease buy it for me.”
She even used a cute, lisping voice. Adorable.
“You just bought some for Hena without asking.”
“You’re too expensive.”
Raising her Strength by 20 and Agility by 10 would cost more than twice what I spent on Hena.
Still, I bought them for her.
“Kyaa! Thank you! My boyfriend is the best!”
Yuuna threw her arms around me.
“You’re the only one who would buy stats like this, when they’re so hard to raise even once!”
“I guess so…”
If we broke up after this, I’d be a total sucker.
But looking at the hearts in Yuuna’s eyes, it seemed more likely we’d get married than break up.
I wondered if she’d even let me go if I tried to break up with her.
I hugged Yuuna tightly and kissed her.
“You know I’ll be with you for much longer than some student-era fling, right, Sang-hyeok-nim?”
“We’re going to be together for a long time…”
“Will you really be together longer than with me, the bikini-exposing onahole?”
“…Fine. What do you want me to buy?”
When I turned around to look at Kushina’s status window, she was rubbing her ass against my dick, trying to act cute.
“Agility? 20?”
“…You want me to buy you as much as my girlfriend?”
“Aahn.”
Ooh.
Her bikini-clad ass was massaging my dick.
“Please buy it for me~”
“For you? The girl who might get dragged away by the hair by the Student Council President?”
“I’ll take that to mean you’ll take responsibility and protect me.”
“…”
Damn it. I’m buying them because of this ass.
As I bought her the stats, I wrapped my arms around Kushina’s body from behind.
“Kya!”
After distributing the wealth evenly among the squad, I had 1,090,000 Coins left on my student ID.
That was still a considerable amount of money.
It was probably enough to cover my family’s living expenses for three years.
“Goblin mister, fish-man mister, see you next time.”
“We’ll meet again, Sang-hyeok-nim. I look forward to more beautiful onaholes next time.”
“Will come again to buy onaholes. Hope you stay healthy.”
I’m glad nothing went wrong.
After bidding farewell to the demon merchants, we waited for the dungeon to be dismantled.
“Ah, I’m hungry.”
Yuuna stretched her arms out wide.
It was probably lunchtime by now, right?
Ah, what should I do about Kushina?
“Kushina needs to eat, too.”
“I’m fine. You can just toss me a rice ball or something later.”
“How do you handle bodily functions in there? Is there anything awkward?”
“It’s fine when I’m inside. My sense of time gets weird, too.”
Is that so?
Maybe it was thanks to the inventory’s protective function, which was meant to keep the onaholes in perfect condition.
We had been having wild sex since yesterday, but whenever Kushina went into the inventory and came back out, she seemed to be reset to her initial state.
Not that her hymen grew back or anything absurd like that, though.
“I’d prefer if we could all eat together.”
“That’s impossible at the student cafeteria, isn’t it? Kushina would stand out too much.”
She was right.
Even if she wore a uniform and pretended to be a normal student, I’d get an earful from Isabella if I didn’t do something about her “Student Council President’s Person of Interest” tag first.
“Sang-hyeok. Look over there. There’s something weird.”
Just then, Hena pointed at something with her staff.
In a corner of the beach, we saw a restaurant with a strangely authentic local vibe.
“When did that get there?”
“It’s a beach house!” Yuuna shouted.
What’s a beach house?
Like a cafe on the beach?
“Let’s go! It’s SNS time!”
Unable to suppress her curiosity, Yuuna headed over first.
The dungeon was cleared, and there shouldn’t be any more monsters, so it should be fine, right?
“Want to eat together, Kushina? You must be hungry since you skipped breakfast.”
“Technically, I skipped dinner too, since I was pinned under you having sex, Master.”
“…Alright, alright. Order as much as you want.”
“Heehee.”
We entered the “Beach House.”
A busty woman with wavy, sea-blue hair that suited her well was running the open-air restaurant.
