Episode 74. Tired Women

★ Heroine Status Window

[Baek Ahyoung]

• [Affection: 95] (+0.1)

• [Lust: 93]

• [Appetite: 30]

• [Fatigue: 45]

Current Status: Hhhuuueee… Good….

“I’m gonna cum…!”

“Haaang… Hhhuuueet….”

I emptied every last drop of cum inside Baek Ahyoung’s pussy.

“Haaah. I ended up going over 30 minutes.”

It was time for Alice’s class to end.

We decided to do it for just 25 minutes, but I ended up enjoying it until the very end. A person’s willpower is truly fleeting.

Baek Ahyoung was sitting on the toilet, panting for breath.

I was going to make her give me a cleanup blowjob, but then I thought of something better.

“Ahyoung-ssi. You remember the bet we made, right?”

“Th-the bet….”

Judging by her expression, she thankfully seemed to remember.

“We need to take a picture. Spread your legs over the toilet.”

“Why, why are you doing this… We already have pictures….”

“The more pictures, the better.”

Baek Ahyoung lifted her knees on the toilet and spread her legs open.

In that position, she used both hands to pull her labia apart to the sides. It was a lewd pose, spreading her own pussy open.

“Yes, just like that. Hold on for a moment.”

“Hhhuuueet….”

About 10 seconds passed like that, and the cum I’d ejaculated started to drip out of her pussy little by little.

“Okay, taking the picture now. Say cheese.”

“Hurry up and take it so we can go!”

Baek Ahyoung’s face turned bright red. She seemed okay with everything else, but did she hate having her picture taken?

“Don’t worry, I’m not showing it to anyone. I’ll only use it for blackmail.”

“What the hell kind of dog-like bullshit is that….”

I really was only going to use it for blackmail, though.

[Baek Ahyoung]

• [Affection: 85] (+0.2)

• [Lust: 80]

• [Appetite: 30]

• [Fatigue: 55]

Current Status: Haaah, I need to get back quickly. What if they look for me?

As soon as the sex ended, her affection plummeted back to normal levels.

Baek Ahyoung loved Lee Hoyeon ‘Honey (Rape Mode)’, but she only liked the regular Lee Hoyeon to an average extent.

Her tastes have gone completely off the rails, seriously.

And it seemed like no matter how intensely we had sex, her affection only increased by 0.1 at a time.

That’s a bit disappointing. But looking at it positively, that means 1 point increases every 10 times we have sex….

Is that a lot? Or not? I don’t know. It’ll probably go up eventually if I keep at it.

“Ahyoung-ssi. We need to leave quickly.”

“Yeah, just let me get dressed…?”

“After we do this.”

I presented my cock towards Baek Ahyoung.

“…Slurp.”

After Baek Ahyoung gave me a cleanup blowjob, I quickly got dressed.

“Clean.”

I even used the Clean magic spell to remove the residual fluids from Baek Ahyoung’s and my clothes.

“…Hey. If you were going to use Clean, you didn’t really need me to do it with my mouth, did you?”

“It feels different. The feeling.”

“….”

She likes it, but she’s acting like this again.

I didn’t forget to undo the barrier either.

“I’ll go first. Come out when the timing is right.”

For the first time in a while, I activated my bad boy mode.

I left Baek Ahyoung without even looking back, abandoning her.

She’ll manage to clean up after herself. She’s not a child.

“Whoa, shit. What if they’re looking for me?”

An hour had already passed.

It was right around the time Alice’s class would have ended.

Since it hasn’t been that long time-wise, I don’t think they’d look for me… but maybe they’d look for me under the guise of PR club activities?

“Just in case, I should hurry.”

I quickened my pace towards the classroom where the lesson was held.

Just one more corner, and I’ll be there soon…

“Aaaang!”

“Ack!”

I bumped heads with someone I ran into around the corner.

Ah, shit, who is it?

‘Alice?’

In front of me, Alice was getting up, frowning after falling down.

I quickly got up and spoke to Alice.

“Ouch ouch, are you okay, Alice? Sorry. I wasn’t paying attention because I was lost in thought.”

“I’m fine. But where were you? I didn’t see you at all for the last hour.”

Alice’s gaze felt a little scary. I hope she’s not suspicious of anything?

I’ve been a bit anxious since earlier… but since I wasn’t caught red-handed, if I just play dumb, Alice won’t be able to do anything.

“Ah, sorry. I had an urgent phone call.”

“…I see.”

Thankfully, Alice seemed to buy it without much suspicion.

Still, just in case, I checked her status window.

[Alice]

• [Affection: 37]

• [Lust: 25]

• [Appetite: 30]

• [Fatigue: 40]

Current Status: He used Clean. Is there really a need to use magic when coming back from a phone call…?

“….”

Shit. She totally seems suspicious.

Last time, I was caught flirting with Moon Surin, so I’m a bit uneasy about this.

I need to be more careful with Alice from now on.

“You worked hard. This batch of photos will be released tomorrow at the earliest, or the day after.”

“Thank you.”

“I’m heading out now. I have a lot of work to do, haha.”

Today’s PR club activities were over.

The photographer left first, saying he had more work to do, and Alice also left in her limousine.

“Shall we go too?”

“Sounds good.”

★ Heroine Status Window

[Baek Ahyoung]

• [Affection: 82] (+0.2)

• [Lust: 78]

• [Appetite: 30]

• [Fatigue: 55]

Current Status: Is him asking me to go together… meaning he wants to spend the night with me tonight?

“Ahyoung-ssi, where are you headed now?”

“Me, me? I… don’t really have any plans. I think I’ll just go home and rest.”

Baek Ahyoung shot me a look full of anticipation that anyone could see.

Sorry, but I have to go to the Academy tomorrow.

“I have theory classes tomorrow. I’ll get going first.”

“Ah, oh… yeah. Right. You have to. You must fulfill your duties as a cadet….”

As it was time to part, her reverting back to the kind saintess persona was quite the contrast.

Is this that ‘gap moe’…?

“So, when can I see you next? It’ll be difficult starting next week because of exams.”

“…!”

Baek Ahyoung looked at me with the expression of someone who had lost their country.

“B-but volunteering is important, isn’t it?”

“It is important, but Ahyoung-ssi, you haven’t been coming either because of the Dungeon Helper stuff, right? As a cadet, I need to focus on my duties first.”

“That might be true, but…!”

Baek Ahyoung tried desperately to keep me there with a pleading tone, but as a cadet, I was invincible.

Baek Ahyoung, who always wanted to act so mature, couldn’t stop me.

“Well then, see you next time. Ahyoung-ssi.”

“Ah, ahh….”

I left the orphanage, leaving behind a disappointed Baek Ahyoung.

Maybe playing hard to get like this is necessary for a successful conquest?

Since her affection resets after sex, I need to find other methods.

“Honey… where are you going….”

From far away, I could hear Baek Ahyoung muttering softly.

This is kinda, fucking scary.

Did I mess around with push-and-pull for nothing….

Should I run back and pounce on her right now? Huh?

“No. Let’s calm down.”

I can’t keep indulging her forever anyway. She’ll have to adapt on her own.

…She won’t do anything weird, right?

*

On my way back to the Academy, I stopped by the black market.

It had been a while, but the musty air filling my chest still bothered me.

I wasn’t specifically looking for anything, just browsing.

Since I have the Equipment Status Window, I should visit places like this often.

Today, I headed in a direction I hadn’t gone before. I don’t need to visit the pharmacy anymore, and the antique shop I went to last time didn’t have anything worthwhile besides the Hellish Scoundrel Contract.

“An old bookstore?”

This place also just had a sign that said ‘Old Bookstore’.

Old bookstores aren’t bad, either.

There might be hidden grimoires or something.

Ting-a-ling-

“Welcome… Hoho….”

A kindly-looking old woman greeted me.

I’ve got a good feeling about this.

This looks like the kind of place where a damn good grimoire would be hidden.

I started searching the shelves, just checking the titles of the books.

“Preventing Adult Diseases… Trash. Computers Even Monkeys Can Learn… Trash. Enjoying Pleasant Conversation… Trash.”

What the heck? How come there isn’t a single decent book?

Was my intuition wrong?

Just as I was turning away in disappointment, a book tightly bound with paper caught my eye.

“What’s this, wrapped up so tightly? ‘The Hawk’s Tower’… Author Jang Yangsan… Huh?”

‘The Hawk’s Tower’. This was definitely a masterpiece novel that was praised as a revolution in modern literature.

Although the author died before finishing it, it was valued even more for that reason.

“It’s here too…?”

Even though it was a novel I’d seen in my original world, not in the game, it existed here.

Just in case, I searched for it on my smartwatch, and it received the same evaluation here.

What a coincidence.

“I’ll take this one.”

“That one is tightly bound, so I don’t even know its name… Are you sure? The seller specifically asked me to sell it like this, so I have to sell it in this condition. No refunds after checking the contents.”

“It’s fine. I have a good feeling about it, so I’ll just buy it like this. How much is it?”

“Since you seem like a young friend, I’ll specially charge you only 500,000 won.”

This is definitely a rip-off. I’ve never met anyone who says that and actually gives a discount.

But whether it’s 500,000 won or 5,000,000 won, I have to buy this.

────[ The Hawk’s Tower Vol. 1 ]────

▶ Grade: Medium

▶ The Hawk’s Tower, written by Jang Yangsan.

▶ It’s a first edition copy with a handwritten signature. It seems like it would be incredibly popular among collectors.

-────────────

This is a real money printer.

It’s a first edition with a handwritten signature, no less. It’s the kind of item collectors would kill for.

The shop owner grandma and I. We both left the old bookstore after a pleasant transaction.

That grandma probably thinks she got rid of trash for 500,000 won, so it’s a win-win.

As for me, I can just put it up for auction and make a fortune.

On my way back to the dormitory, I found an auction site and signed up.

Being a Victoria Academy cadet is a universal ID that works anywhere.

As soon as I proved I was a cadet, my credit rating immediately went up to Level 1.

“The price… I should set the starting bid at 5 million won.”

I expect it to go for at least 10 million won, but the people who want to buy it will determine its exact value.

Since my credibility is high, they won’t doubt the item, and the price should go up quite a bit.

If it seems too cheap, I can always withdraw it from the auction.

Ttiriring-

I arrived at the dormitory before I knew it. Liliana was watching TV in the living room.

“I’m back.”

“Yeah, you’re….”

“Master made a lot of money today, Liliana. I’m in a good mood, so how about some chicken?!”

Tak!

“Huh?”

Liliana dropped the remote control she was holding.

“Liliana? I said let’s eat chicken?”

“…You said you were going to volunteer…”

Liliana slowly approached me.

Then, she knelt down and rubbed her face against my crotch.

“Why, why are you doing this!”

“You smell like another woman…”

Oh, shit. What is wrong with everyone today?

Sniff sniff…

Liliana was sniffing my body, trying to catch the scent.

Of course, it’s normal for her to get angry if she smells another woman on her man, but why now, after we’ve been getting along so well?

What on earth could have caused this change of heart recently?

She definitely started acting weird after contacting the Underworld. Did she learn about fidelity there or something?

“Liliana. Calm down and get off me for a second. Let’s just order some chicken first.”

“…Okay.”

Thankfully, she listened to me.

Liliana seemed a little bit sulky.

“Hmm….”

What should I do? This is the first time Liliana has acted like this openly, so I don’t know how to handle it.

She used to tease me and bicker, but she never acted like this just because I had sex with another woman.

Ah, damn it. I always prepared countermeasures by looking at the heroines’ status windows, but I have no idea what she’s thinking, making it hard to respond.

Current Status: Master seems quite popular… Will I have any room to squeeze in….

As soon as I had that thought, a status window appeared right before my eyes.

“…?”

Why is this popping up for her?
