Chapter 714: Rank A+ Party, Sky Blue Shield (2)

After returning from the group expedition in the S-Class Dungeon, the Wasteland Desert.

In many ways, we, who had become quite a mess, barely managed to return to the Sky Blue Shield waiting room.

-Clank.

-Thump.

-Splat.

Whether everyone was utterly exhausted, the party members leaned against chairs and desks to rest as soon as they returned to the Sky Blue Shield meeting room.

The only ones relatively okay were myself, an S-Class Hunter, and among the rest, Cheon Jihee, the one with the best stamina.

“Haaah, I’m exhausted…. I broke the great shield twice just today alone….”

“I really thought I was gonna die…. Drawing aggro against an S-Class monster, and even having my clothes ripped off inside the dungeon….”

“My head hurts…. It’s throbbing…. I wanna dieee….”

Seeing the members leaning back against chairrests, collapsing onto the meeting room desks, or even lying horizontally across three chairs to complain of fatigue, it was certainly a moment that made me truly feel the grueling battle they had endured.

Of course, thanks to everyone suffering to the point of near death, the results obtained today were more certain than ever before among all the expeditions so far.

“I didn’t know Sandman gold was that expensive. Just like you said, Min-ah, if we hadn’t collected it, we would have lost out big time.”

“…You should know beforehand how valuable the monster materials are for the dungeon we’re entering. Later on, it’s all money.”

“Where did you find out that Sand Scorpion eyeball fluid is a potion ingredient? They say that’s something unless you’re a Hunter specializing in pharmacology, even fellow healers don’t know well.”

“…Just, you know. While going on business trips here and there, I’ve met many people through various connections.”

…Perhaps the person who contributed the most to maintaining Sky Blue Shield until now is surprisingly Han Min-ah.

Just being a scout with combat abilities alone makes her a top-tier talent coveted by almost every guild, and on top of that, she had knowledge that makes money packed tightly in her head; she was truly something else.

As Hye-eun said, if Han Min-ah hadn’t been there today, even after catching three S-Class monsters, the results would have been reduced by nearly half.

Usually, the higher the Hunter rank, the more they tend to handle the post-hunt materials carelessly because that was the trend.

For monsters S-Class and above, just roughly extracting the core and submitting it was enough that it wouldn’t significantly affect income, so it was a natural phenomenon, I suppose.

On the other hand, Min-ah, even though she was now in a situation where she wasn’t lacking financially at all, still not losing her initial mindset was typical of her in many ways.

Thanks to that, we could fully secure at least the share everyone earned from suffering to the point of being battered and bruised.

“Aghh…”

“Ughh…”

“……”

“I know everyone’s tired, but still, shouldn’t we slowly get up and wash up now?”

A small bathhouse attached to the Sky Blue Shield meeting room.

The private shower rooms were a convenience facility for Hunters whose bodies got dirty frequently inside the dungeon.

Furthermore, with 4 A+ Class Hunters and even an S-Class male Hunter, Sky Blue Shield’s facilities were that good, even having bathtubs and sunbeds.

However, regardless of how good the Sky Blue Shield waiting room’s bathing facilities were, three people already seemed genuinely unable to move and showed no intention of getting up.

“Just a little longer…. It still aches….”

“Ah, I don’t know…. I’ll just sleep like this for a while and wake up later….”

“……”

“Honestly, really.”

Well, I could understand the reactions of those three people.

Today’s battle was a day where the efforts and hardships of Hye-eun, Min-ah, and Cha Yuri particularly stood out.

With my recovery spells, wounds and injuries can be healed anytime, but unfortunately, the fatigue accumulated in muscles and brain cannot be resolved, which was the only side effect.

Muscle pain is ultimately part of muscle growth, so it cannot be healed by recovery spells, and the pain accumulating in the brain is merely a side effect of over-activated brain cells, not an injury.

These two things could only wait for the body adapting naturally, so my recovery spells didn’t apply.

…So, the only thing I could do was just to slightly boost the motivation so that the three people would feel like washing up, and that’s about it.

“Are all three of you just going to stay slumped over like that?”

“Mmm…. Just a little longer….”

“I don’t knowoo…. I really can’t move….”

“…I’m going to take a nap. I’ll feel better after a short sleep.”

“…If you’re really having a hard time, I could even wash you myself. Anyone, as long as they can get up and walk to the bathroom.”

-Flinch.

“……”

“……”

“……”

At my words, seemingly slightly stirred, the three people flinched slightly from their slumped postures.

Especially Han Min-ah’s tail, which had slipped out from behind the chair and was wagging, was amusing, but I pretended not to see it and continued speaking.

“Cheon Jihee-ssi, could you please draw some water in the bathtub? The bathtub is wide, so to fill it completely, it would take some time.”

“…I don’t mind, but thinking they’ll move just for that is too much self-importance….”

“…Sungchul, are you also going to wash up?”

“……”

With the thought that I had definitely hooked at least one person, I nodded and replied.

“I should. After all, I’m also just as dirty. It would also be easier for me to wash someone if they were naked.”

-Scrape.

“Ugh, ugh…”

-Thump, thump.

After barely getting up from the makeshift bed made by putting three chairs together, Cha Yuri took steps, using the staff as a cane.

Seeing her completely changed demeanor from just moments before, when she was complaining her head hurt or saying she’d sleep, Cheon Jihee’s expression seemed to twist in confusion.

Of course, ignoring her reaction and being faithful to her desires was the Cha Yuri I knew.

It seemed that since she hadn’t had dungeon sex recently, her own desires had built up.

“…What about clothes? Are you going in naked?”

“With my purification spell, I’ll do the laundry too, so you can go in wearing them. If you lie down on the sunbed in the bathhouse, I’ll take care of everything.”

“……”

At my words, fumbling a bit, she only put down her staff and hat after setting them down, and Cha Yuri went into the bathroom.

And then, her entering as if muttering to herself was strangely cute.

“Because I’m tired, just for today. Normally, I wouldn’t entrust my body to you.”

“Yes, Cha Yuri-ssi. Of course, I know.”

“…Cocky.”

With a bright smile as I replied, Cha Yuri muttered a word with a slightly frowning face for some reason.

After she and Cheon Jihee, who was going to draw the bathwater, went into the bathroom, a subtle battle of nerves continued with the remaining two people.

“Cha Yuri-ssi went in first, aren’t you two going?”

“……”

“……”

Reacting to my question, they flinched slightly, but the two still quietly avoided my gaze.

The act of entrusting their bodies to me in the bathroom, showing it to others, seemed quite embarrassing.

Of course, usually it was almost like a daily routine alongside sex, and not just that, both Min-ah and Hye-eun had been washed by me at least twice before.

It seemed these two people would especially find it hard to agree pretending to be calm in this situation.

For the two who have ‘voyeurism’ and ‘Kandallism’, their own sexual proclivities must be a shameful secret they don’t want other party members to know, so they must be thinking that if they pretended to be fine here, they might actually get caught.

Therefore, it seemed Min-ah and Hye-eun needed to be persuaded separately.

“Han Min-ah, aren’t you going to do it?”

“…I, I… later….”

“Later, when? If not now, I won’t wash you?”

“I, I don’t need it…. When did anyone ask to be washed?”

“Really? Are you going to give up this rare chance to be ‘washed’ by me naturally in front of the party members?”

“…Wh-what you’re saying, I have no idea about.”

Not long ago, even after having such intense sex in front of Eunbyul, can she not honestly admit her sexual proclivities?

Judging by that reaction, she herself seems to have realized it to some extent.

Perhaps Hye-eun hearing it too might be the reason.

Later, if I listen to her story just the two of us, her reaction might change.

Anyway, the way to forcibly get Min-ah up in her current state was surprisingly simple.

She herself had already exposed her weakness defenselessly behind the chair.

By stimulating such a vulnerable spot of hers, I just needed to force her to get up so she couldn’t stay stuck on the meeting room chair any longer.

-Squeeze!

“Ughh?!”

While still sitting on the chair, Han Min-ah got up, involuntarily groaning after her tail was suddenly grabbed by me.

At that honest reaction, chuckling slightly, I asked her.

“You said you couldn’t move? You’re moving just fine.”

“Th-that’s because you suddenly touched my tail first…!”

“Anyway, it means you can move, right? Stop complaining.”

“I, I’m not complaining…! H-heeek?!”

After strongly stimulating the base of Min-ah’s long tail, I rubbed her entire tail with a gentle touch, like stroking fabric.

While doing so, I quietly brought my mouth next to Han Min-ah’s face and whispered quietly, as if making a secret deal.

‘Your sexual proclivities that get you excited when you show them aren’t something I particularly intend to reveal to others, so just go in quietly.’

‘…Wh-what. Wh-what nonsense are you talking about. Why would I have such sexual proclivities….’

‘There’s no need to hide it even from me. Considering them all and satisfying them, even those aspects, is my role as the Hunter Lust Manager.’

‘…….’

‘Next time I give the signal, go into the bathroom as if you can’t resist. I’ll pretend not to know.’

With those final words, I finished whispering with Min-ah.

Now, I grabbed the tail I was stroking once more firmly and sent the signal.

-SQUASH!

“Ughh?!”

“Still not going in? Still not going to wash?”

“…Ah, fine! I, I’ll go in too….”

With quite convincing acting, Han Min-ah walked towards the bathhouse as if unable to resist.

Two daggers hanging from her hip pocket fell onto the floor in front of the bathroom with a clattering sound.

“…You’re washing the clothes together too?”

“Yeah. Your clothes, Min-ah, must have gotten especially dirtier because they were buried in sand.”

“Anyway, I have spare clothes to change into in my private room….”

“Then take them off and go in. Were you that eager to be washed by me?”

“Wh-what are you saying?! I didn’t mean it like that?!”

Having her true feelings exposed, she entered the bathroom, overly embarrassed, like a shy cat.

This made it the second person, so now only the last person remained.

…Actually, from the moment I pushed Min-ah inside, Hye-eun was practically automatically conquered.

“You did well holding back, Hye-eun-ah.”

“……”

“You’re going in to watch, right? How Cha Yuri-ssi and Min-ah usually satisfy their lust with me.”

“…So you’re doing it after all.”

“If it’s your sexual proclivities, you were probably quite curious about this side too. If I’m mistaken, please tell me.”

“……”

-Shake shake.

Shaking her head slightly left and right, Hye-eun expressed denial without words.

Seeing her face already flushed, she seemed thoroughly excited at the thought of voyeuristically watching me, Cha Yuri, and Han Min-ah having sex.

“…Instead, I have to show you too, right? Having sex with Taekyung.”

“Why are you asking something so obvious?”

“Haaah…. Yesterday too we did it a lot, and this morning too, we did it twice….”

“So, you don’t want to?”

“It’s just that I’m worried about your stamina, Taekyung….”

Well, since there’s medicine Hwayoung Sunbae made, if I take just one more, I should be able to last.

If physical fatigue is excessively accumulated, taking a nap in Belle’s dungeon and coming out would solve the problem.

Both stamina and fatigue could be replenished in some way, so right now, I just want to act on my desires.

Using the excuse of washing their bodies, utterly exhausted from coming straight out of the dungeon, indulging myself freely.

It was a moment I could unleash the ultimate desire as a man.

…And while I’m at it, replenishing the points I spent for calling them today would be even better.

“You don’t need to worry about me, Hye-eun, you too, follow them in.”

“…Just help me take off my leg boots. I’ll take off my arms myself.”

“Yes, yes.”

Finally, after taking off the gloves on her arms and legs, after pushing Hye-eun, clad only in a full-body tightsuit, into the bathroom.

Taking out one stamina pill from my subspace pocket and secretly swallowing it, I too walked into the desire-filled bathhouse.

Quietly holding the thought that today, following yesterday, would be quite a long day in my mind.
