Chapter 959: Side Story – Loner Loser Jung No-eul (1)

Jung No-eul’s list of sexual fetishes, presumed to reveal her personality just by the names of the items.

Still, just to find out what the content was, I checked it one by one from the beginning.

『Hunter Jung No-eul possesses an introverted personality due to the influence of her childhood home environment, a symptom she still retains even after becoming an adult.

Therefore, Hunter Jung No-eul harbors admiration for a man with a kind personality who can actively approach her, even with her introverted nature, and she always holds the thought in her heart that she wouldn’t be able to do things like dating or marriage unless her partner is a man of that personality.

Currently, for Hunter Jung No-eul, Hunter Sung Taekyung is a man with a kind personality who spoke kindly to her when they first met in the healing room, thus she harbors strong feelings of affection for him. And as she is the type who cannot approach other men on her own, she shows a somewhat strong obsession towards Hunter Sung Taekyung.』

…Well, right from the first item, I’m a bit taken aback.

First off, if I were to infer the relationship between me and Jung No-eul based on this item, it would be roughly like this. Just someone who was originally timid and had no immunity to men, who happened to meet me one day in the company’s healing room, and even though I merely had a normal conversation, which I do with other female hunters too, she ended up assigning more meaning to it than necessary.

Then, because I suddenly disappeared from the company, it could be interpreted that she’s obsessed with me to the point of chasing after me all the way to the guild I newly established.

‘Seeing that she chases me even to the guild I newly established with just that much of a connection, she might be a slightly dangerous woman.’

I might need to slightly revise my evaluation of Jung No-eul, whom I had thought had just a cute personality.

With that thought, I checked Jung No-eul’s other sexual fetish items a bit more. Because I thought I couldn’t fully grasp the information about her with just one item alone.

『Hunter Jung No-eul came to possess an introverted personality due to the influence of her childhood home environment, and because of that, she failed to acquire normal communication skills.

She can have normal conversations with someone she has opened her heart to once, but it takes a long time, so she feels strong affection for a man whose personality is to speak to her first, even if she can’t speak properly herself.

Currently, she harbors strong affection for Hunter Sung Taekyung, who spoke first to her, who lacks conversational skills, and as she is the type who cannot converse with other men, she shows a somewhat strong obsession towards Hunter Sung Taekyung.』

『Hunter Jung No-eul has rarely had conversations with the opposite sex due to her introverted personality, and she has no immunity towards the opposite sex, to the extent that she has rarely had physical contact with men.

Therefore, she is still strongly conscious of Hunter Sung Taekyung’s physical contact, which she first experienced in the healing room of Eun & Ok Co., Ltd. to treat her wounds. And as she is the type who cannot attempt physical contact with other men, she shows a somewhat strong obsession towards Hunter Sung Taekyung.』

『Hunter Jung No-eul suffers from delusions due to her introverted personality, and the subject Hunter Jung No-eul most often uses for her delusions recently stems from her relationship with Hunter Sung Taekyung….』

『Hunter Jung No-eul lacks normal communication skills, therefore she desires empathetic conversations that she can talk about. She shows a somewhat strong obsession towards Hunter Sung Taekyung, who recently smiled at her own humor….』

…Does this even make sense?

How can five items of sexual fetishes all contain almost the same content?

It didn’t even take a minute to check all of Hunter Jung No-eul’s sexual fetish content. Although the detailed content differed slightly, the cause and conclusion all led to one thing anyway.

Because of her timid personality, she finds men difficult, and therefore she likes men who treat her kindly.

And the conclusion was that the man who had the most conversations with her, the man who had the most physical contact with her, and the man who treated her most kindly in Jung No-eul’s life up until now, was all me.

In the end, all five items concluded with ‘Because of this and that, she shows obsession towards me,’ which was truly awkward beyond words for me.

‘In a way, it’s fortunate that I don’t really need to seduce her from the start….’

Conversely, I wondered if this woman might end up being disappointed upon getting to know me.

It might be somewhat better if the physical relationship came first and then love followed right from the start, but Jung No-eul had already defined me as her first love without my knowledge.

In other words, eventually someday I would have to remind her of the fact that ‘Actually, her first love was a terrible slut who had slept with everyone except you.’

‘If I had to say, it’s something I’ve done a lot with other women, including Hye-eun, even up until now….’

However, there was a difference in that most of them started with a physical relationship, and conversations were had when a certain level of friendship was built.

In other words, to tell her the truth, building a friendship with her, even just a little more, would be more important than anything.

First off, if President Seo Ok-hee’s words are to be believed, she said she failed to control this hunter named Jung No-eul, so even for the purpose of recruiting her into our guild by gently coaxing her.

“That I stole Miss Jung No-eul’s heart? That’s a really interesting thing to say.”

“Huh? Ah, that, that wasn’t meant literally stealing, it was a, a joke….”

“Since it’s also sorry of me to keep the stolen Miss Jung No-eul’s heart, I want to return it as soon as possible, but how can I return it?”

“…Uh, uh, yes, yes?!”

For now, based on the joke Jung No-eul first attempted towards me, I’ll slowly try coaxing her.

Her sexual fetishes also included content called ’empathetic conversation’, so in the current situation where I don’t know what Jung No-eul currently likes, the easiest way to empathize was just about repeating what she said.

…However, the problem I didn’t anticipate was that the woman before my eyes lacked communication skills more than I imagined.

“Uh, um, that is….”

“…….”

“Oh, what do I do…. I didn’t learn what comes next from Chae-eun….”

Apparently, she seems to lack the sense to be able to answer even the words the other person retorts slyly.

Well, even with this kind of personality, there wasn’t really a problem.

For starters, the fact that Jung No-eul feels affection towards me is almost certain, and besides, I had figured out that she prefers someone else approaching her rather than communication initiated by herself.

Rather, thinking she would prefer me boldly making a move, I tried to seduce her a bit proactively.

“Actually, I knew too. That I had perhaps stolen Miss No-eul’s heart.”

“Ah, th-th-that’s so?! Uh, um, but…. th-that is….”

“But the problem is, the stolen Miss No-eul’s heart has already taken root in my heart, so because it’s taken root so firmly here, I can’t return it.'”

“Gasp! Gasp! Gasp?!”

Along with those words, I rubbed the area around my left chest with my palm and smiled, eliciting a flustered reaction from Jung No-eul as if she was about to suffocate.

Even though I had already removed her surname and was comfortably calling her only by her name from a little while ago, her not noticing yet made her subtly cute.

“Th-that means…. C-could it be the Healer-ssi too….”

“The title ‘Healer-ssi’ is a bit stiff. Between ‘us.'”

“Th-then what should I say….”

“My name is Sung Taekyung, so you can call me Sung Taekyung-ssi. Or you can just comfortably call me Taekyung-ssi.'”

“T-T-Taekyung…. Taekyung-ssi…”

“Yes, Miss No-eul.”

“Gasp! H-huh! Hooo…”

…It feels like I’ve been targeted by a slightly dangerous woman.

Even though I look like this, I’m an S-Class Hunter in my own right, but if she really decides to come at me, will I really be able to respond properly?

Of course, if possible, I intended to pounce on her before she pounced on me, but still, if I’m going to do it, I wanted to create a proper atmosphere.

No matter how much I have a contractual relationship where I regularly give my body to the hunters belonging to our company, I also wanted to let them know that I have at least minimal standards when it comes to choosing the partner.

“So, about that, Miss No-eul.”

“Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes…!!”

“The Miss No-eul’s heart that I stole. Perhaps by having light physical contact, I can return it?'”

“Yes, yes?! Ph-physical co, contact…”

“I’m not saying this with any particular strange meaning. However, to return this heart that I stole from Miss No-eul, I thought this might be the easiest way.'”

“Ah, th-th-that is…. I, I, I, I…”

“As a test, shall we hug once? so that our hearts touch as much as possible, the Miss No-eul’s heart I stole might be returned, you know?'”

“Ah, ah, hug…?! Huh, huh…?!”

–Swoosh.

While sitting on the reception room sofa, I gently opened my arms and approached Jung No-eul, who was still unable to hide her flustered emotions.

“Here, Miss No-eul. Shall we hug once?”

Quietly making plans in my mind about how to strategize and capture this timid young lady from now on.
