Episode 47. Instinctively

Saturday. While Lee Hoyeon was on a date with Lumi, Hunters belonging to the Association were dispatched for emergency support to aid the Gate incident that broke out in the metropolitan area.

Thanks to the Hunters belonging to the Association and the urgently summoned Hunters burning themselves out, there were no civilian casualties, but many Hunters were injured.

Thanks to that, Baek Ahyoung’s ambulance was constantly busy.

“Saintess-nim! Thank you! Thanks to you, I feel like I could fly! Hahaha!”

“Oh, come on, I told you not to call me that.”

“Then I’ll be going now!”

Kuk (bow).

Bowing her head, Baek Ahyoung saw the man off as he left and re-entered the ambulance.

“Hoo, it never ends. Still, I think I can handle about 10 more people.”

“Wow, you’re truly amazing. You handle the work of 5 other healers by yourself, that’s why everyone calls you Saintess, Saintess, right?”

“Ehehe… Thanks.”

Kim Ah-ra, Baek Ahyoung’s junior, couldn’t help but be amazed every time she looked at Baek Ahyoung. Her healing ability, which could even revive the dead, was one thing, but her stamina and magic power were immense.

Basically, recovery magic uses magic power, but treating severe injuries beyond a certain level requires the caster’s stamina as well.

It involves sharing a bit of one’s life force and amplifying it.

That’s why other healers run out of energy after treating just one or two severely injured patients, but Baek Ahyoung could handle over 10 severe cases alone.

‘But doing that every single day, until she’s on the verge of collapsing, is that even human?’

That ability ranked her the undisputed number one healer worldwide.

On top of that, she has a kind personality, a beautiful face, and cute mannerisms.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she was the reincarnation of a saintess.

Naturally, she always enjoyed her days working with Baek Ahyoung.

“Wow, you really treated 10 more people there.”

“Mhmm. But it’s getting a bit tough now. You treated 3 people too. Good job.”

“Working with you, Sunbae-nim, always makes me push myself too hard… For me, 3 people is pushing myself to the point where my lifespan decreases.”

“It’s because I’m the weird one, so don’t push yourself too hard.”

“Hey, stop saying weird things and let’s get ready to withdraw, okay? It looks like everything’s done.”

“Shall we do that?”

Kim Ah-ra thought Baek Ahyoung’s determination was enviable, seeing her work with a smile despite how incredibly difficult it must be.

“Yes, yes! I’ll treat you to dinner today, so….”

Just then, cutting off Kim Ah-ra’s words, emergency responders appeared.

“Emergency patient! Emergency patient! Open the ambulance quickly!”

“Emergency patient?!”

Kudangtang! The man being carried on the stretcher came into view.

“S-Sunbae-nim! His condition…!”

“…Yeah.”

The man’s condition was dire.

His left arm was torn off as if bitten clean through, and both legs were severed below the ankle.

It was fortunate he hadn’t died from shock.

However, the blood was flowing continuously, and it seemed he would soon die from excessive bleeding.

“Saintess-nim…! A hidden monster attacked him! Please, save him! He just got married!”

The man following the stretcher bowed his head to the ground, pleading with Baek Ahyoung.

“I-I’ll contact the nearest branch!”

“No, I’ll treat him.”

“Sunbae-nim!”

“You know it too. If this patient isn’t treated right now, he’ll die.”

“… .”

Kim Ah-ra knew it too.

That the patient wouldn’t last even 5 minutes in this condition.

But, even for Baek Ahyoung, could this treatment be possible?

The male patient was alive only because he was a Hunter; otherwise, he was practically dead.

For such a severely injured patient, even a healer must be prepared to suffer internal injuries while treating them.

Yet, Baek Ahyoung’s magic power was nearly depleted from treating patients all day.

An overly strenuous treatment might affect the healer’s lifespan or magic circuits.

Kim Ah-ra felt a sense of reverence towards Baek Ahyoung, who stepped forward as if it were the most natural thing to do.

An attitude of sacrificing oneself without the slightest hesitation for others.

‘Could this person truly be a saintess?’

Kim Ah-ra thought so as she watched Baek Ahyoung gather her magic power.

Meanwhile, Baek Ahyoung was thinking differently.

Baek Ahyoung saw the dying man before her eyes.

A man who could die at any moment without it being strange.

Baek Ahyoung had seen hundreds, thousands of men like this.

Since when did she start feeling their survival instincts when treating severely injured men?

The desire to live.

The desire for pleasure.

The desire to sow their seed, the reproductive urge.

The immense energy emanating from them was fully transmitted to Baek Ahyoung.

The feeling was very strange, but it wasn’t something she could boast about.

If she said she felt a man’s lust throughout her body during treatment, she’d be suspected of being a horny bitch.

Therefore, Baek Ahyoung kept those words buried in her heart.

When treating men truly on the verge of death, she noticed their crotches bulging.

Male pheromones intensify especially when their lives are in danger. Their ‘thing’ gets hard, radiating the desire to procreate.

Is it the instinct to leave their seed in the world?

The younger and healthier the man, the stronger the desire.

She could feel it even now. This man felt sexual desire for her despite his extreme pain.

The males, how ugly, felt lust towards Baek Ahyoung even as she saved their lives.

At first, she felt disgust by their behavior, but she couldn’t stop the treatment.

The reward and satisfaction derived from saving lives provided Baek Ahyoung with a sense of stability that outweighed the dirty feeling of disgust.

As she continued treating them, Baek Ahyoung adapted to the males’ sexual desire directed at her.

However, the more she was exposed to such intense survival urges and male instincts, the stranger Baek Ahyoung’s body became.

A man’s gaze lingering on her chest even while receiving treatment from her.

No matter how kind a man seemed, all men hid their lust deep inside.

The feeling of wanting to pin her down and forcefully thrust his ‘thing’ inside was hidden. It was only held back by the laws, morals, and rational thoughts they had learned throughout their lives in society.

True masculinity was about overpowering a woman, crushing her, and sowing one’s seed.

At least, that was Baek Ahyoung’s belief.

The male reproductive drive. The twisted masculinity and lust deep within men.

The ugly nature that emerges only when close to death.

‘There’s a saying, ‘If you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.”

Before she knew it, Baek Ahyoung had fallen into the abyss.

Bbi–

Before Baek Ahyoung’s eyes was the patient, moments from death.

She had a slight headache from treating so many patients today, but she gathered her mana as if it were routine.

For Baek Ahyoung, treating an emergency patient was an opportunity that didn’t come easily.

Warm light leaked from her hands, enveloping the patient’s body and slowly healing him.

Baek Ahyoung’s energy drained to fill the patient’s life force.

The headache intensified, her vision blurred, and thirst grew severe.

A feeling like her body was being squeezed from the inside.

Baek Ahyoung’s body became increasingly defenseless.

Soon, the lying patient regained consciousness and took in her appearance.

The lust deep within him spoke.

• Now is the time, fuck that woman and sow your seed!

But the rational thoughts of a member of society, deeply ingrained, held him back.

Kku-uk.

Baek Ahyoung’s pussy started to get wet.

An instinctive desire to be pinned down by the man before her seized Baek Ahyoung.

It had to be now or never.

This moment, when a man felt his most primal urges, was crucial.

But, naturally, the man averted his eyes from Baek Ahyoung.

Baek Ahyoung couldn’t understand men who rejected their instincts, trapped within the framework of society.

‘Why aren’t you fucking me? Why are you glancing at my chest? Why do you feel lust looking at me? Why?’

As the treatment progressed, Baek Ahyoung’s stamina and magic power continued to dwindle.

“Heu-eut….”

A groan escaped her lips due to the sensation of losing control over her body. She could barely keep herself upright.

However, as her body weakened, Baek Ahyoung grew more aroused.

‘If he were to fuck me right now, I wouldn’t be able to resist being penetrated. Even if he came inside me irresponsibly, I’d be impregnated with a bastard without being able to fight back….’

Baek Ahyoung’s pussy throbbed, but the man kept glancing at her, then looking away with a self-reproaching expression.

‘Sigh, another bust this time.’

Finally, after the treatment ended, the patient and the man repeatedly bowed their heads, expressing their gratitude.

Even while expressing thanks, the man’s eyes couldn’t help but drift to Baek Ahyoung’s chest – an unavoidable male instinct.

After resting briefly to recover her condition, Baek Ahyoung accepted their thanks with a smile, pretending not to notice his gaze.

‘If he was going to act like that, he should have just fucked me when I was weak earlier.’

Baek Ahyoung grumbled inwardly for no reason.

“You worked hard. Sunbae-nim.”

Kim Ah-ra, who had been helping her out, spoke to her.

“Yeah, thanks. I’m a bit dizzy today, so let’s eat later, okay?”

“Yes, yes, yes. Of course. You have to go to the orphanage tomorrow too. Rest well!”

“Okay. I’m heading in first.”

---

Last night, Lumi and I established our secret friend relationship at the motel.

After enjoying the night with Lumi at the motel, on Sunday, I briefly stopped by the dormitory, talked with Liliana, and then left the dorm immediately.

The destination was ‘Sunshine Orphanage’.

It’s a place the heroine, Baek Ahyoung, frequently visits.

‘Come to think of it, it’s been a really long time since I last came here.’

I hadn’t visited the orphanage since the last dungeon training. Baek Ahyoung must have been busy with her helper work too, so it’s understandable I might not see her.

“Oh? Are you, uh, Hoyeon student? It’s been a while~! We thought you weren’t coming anymore!”

As I entered Sunshine Orphanage and walked through the yard, an orphanage teacher I seemed to have seen before called out to me.

“Haha… Hello. I’ve been quite busy lately. Where is the Director?”

“They’re probably playing with the children in the back yard right now. Ahyoung-ssi is here too, so go take a look!”

“Thank you.”

Nice. Good news.

It seems Baek Ahyoung happened to visit today as well. I came at a lucky time.

“Hello!”

I saw Baek Ahyoung and the Director watching the children play.

Baek Ahyoung, with her great figure, and the Director, with her kind face, turned towards me and welcomed me.

“Oh my, Hoyeon-ssi. It’s been a while. Ahyoung-ssi also visited after a long time, is today a special occasion?”

“I’m sorry. I’ve been so busy with work lately that I could only visit after a long time. Hello to you too, Ahyoung-ssi.”

Baek Ahyoung seemed surprised by my greeting and took my hand as she spoke.

“Hoyeon-ssi! I saw the news article about you fighting Maine. Are you okay?”

“M-Maine? What are you talking about?”

Still, as someone active in the field, she seems to get news quickly.

Or perhaps the Director is slow with news? Maybe the Academy made an effort so it wasn’t a major issue for the public.

“Well, I’m fine. I wasn’t seriously injured, and here I am, right?”

“Phew, that’s a relief. I was so worried when I saw your name in the article, Hoyeon-ssi.”

I could feel the aura unique to kind people emanating from Baek Ahyoung.

Talking with someone like her makes me feel like my own heart is being cleansed.

『A sub-quest has been transmitted.』

[Are you faithful to your instincts?]

Baek Ahyoung is looking for a man led by his instincts!

Try to pique Baek Ahyoung’s interest even a little!

Clear Condition: Pique Baek Ahyoung’s interest 0 / 1

• Reward: Increase Baek Ahyoung’s favorability

———————-

‘…Or maybe not?’

A man led by instincts…

I think I’m starting to get a slight idea of what to do.

Because of her title ‘Saintess’, Baek Ahyoung hasn’t been able to fulfill her wish of being raped while defenseless.

The holiness associated with the name ‘Saintess’ makes it impossible to create such an atmosphere.

“Bro~!”

The kid who liked my juggling the most last time came running up.

“It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”

“Bro! Why are you only coming now! Show me that again from last time!”

“Okay, okay, let’s play together.”

The kid grabbed my hand and led me among the children.

“Keun-keun. Bro, but why do you smell like candy?”

“Huh?”

What is this supposed to mean?

---

I played with the children while showing them my secret 5-ball juggling show.

A little later, the Director took the children inside the orphanage, announcing it was mealtime.

Baek Ahyoung and I sat on a bench in the yard and chatted.

“You worked hard. You only juggled again this time. Keuk.”

“Still, it’s much better than last time, right?”

“I know, right? Your skills improved noticeably. The kids even gathered around, saying you smelled nice… I’m envious.”

“Nah… More kids flocked to you, Ahyoung-ssi.”

“Hehe. Is that so?”

The reward called ‘Sweet Body’ obtained after clearing Lumi’s quest. Its effect made my body emit a sweet fragrance.

Just in case, I licked my arm, and it tasted sweet too.

What am I, some kind of chocolate human?

“Dungeon training is next week. Are you preparing well? There are rumors that this test will be difficult?”

Banggeut banggeut (Smiling brightly).

Baek Ahyoung was beaming, perhaps happy at the thought of seeing me next week.

She probably wants to see me in my suit and adult persona again. She seemed to really like it when I showed that side last time.

The next dungeon training involves an incident caused by terrorism. I should change the subject rather than dragging this out.

“Speaking of which, what do you do when you go as a dungeon helper?”

“Uh… I do various things. I provide support, and of course, most of the time I’m a healer.”

“Aha. I heard your healing abilities are incredible, Ahyoung-ssi. They call you the reincarnation of a saintess, right?”

“Please don’t call me that. Honestly, it’s embarrassing. Saintess, indeed.”

“But don’t healers experience a lot of mental fatigue? Dungeons must have many injured people.”

Of course, that didn’t apply to Baek Ahyoung. In reality, she was tired because she pushed herself with treatments every day; if she moderated her healing, she probably wouldn’t feel fatigued.

“That’s true. On days I push myself too hard, I end up feeling sick all day.”

“Wow, you must be completely defenseless then. You should be careful.”

He deliberately said something that might be slightly impolite.

Baek Ahyoung actually liked that sort of thing.

“…I suppose so.”

“It would be a real disaster if someone took advantage of that moment to attack you.”

She hated the way men神化 her because of her ‘Saintess’ title.

It’s easy to pique the interest of a woman like that.

All I have to do is be the bad boy Lee Hoyeon I always am.

“Yes… That would be a disaster. A real disaster….”

Baek Ahyoung’s eyes changed slightly.
