“Go, I-I went… I went, you bastard…”

“Just one more time…!”

“Ugh! Ahh… stop it…”

The wave of pleasure that started from the waist was poured inside.

As Minji trembled all over, she gripped the bed tightly with her hands.

“Oh… ugh…”

Reaching the peak, she twisted her waist wildly, burying her head in the blanket and stifling her screams.

Although the screams were muffled by the blanket, her body did not stop convulsing.

Due to the relentless, beast-like sex that continued without a break to subdue her, her face was already half melted.

She had the face of a hero defeated by pleasure.

Now, whenever I brought my face close, her mouth automatically opened, and her tongue naturally met mine.

“Do you like kissing?”

“…Shut up…hmm…”

Contrary to her harsh words, Minji seemed to enjoy kissing.

We enjoyed the afterglow of our kisses.

Lying sprawled on the large bed, greedily seeking each other’s saliva, made my head feel fuzzy.

At first, she would curse just at the touch of my fingertips on her body, but now, even if I grabbed her chest, she only let out shallow moans.

She no longer hid her moans.

Even the curses seemed to have softened slightly.

[Completed Hidden Quest.]

[Subdue the arrogant hero.]

[Acquire Stamina LV.1 skill.]

[Completed Hidden Quest.]

[Complete the request of the Amshijang.]

[Acquire Strength LV.1 skill.]

I completed two hidden quests at once.

I thought I might fail at least one, but it pleasantly exceeded my expectations.

Two quests.

And they were for Stamina and Strength.

Not special skills, but skills that could be of great help to me now.

Even though they were only level 1 skills, I could feel the vitality in my body.

I felt like I could grab Minji’s waist right now and start round two.

But Minji didn’t seem to be in a good condition.

Even now, she seemed on the verge of fainting after reaching the peak once more.

We had plenty of time anyway.

“There are 2 weeks and 5 days left.”

It was a quest that lasted for 3 weeks.

As the time for checkout approached, we washed each other’s bodies.

Although we ended up touching each other’s bodies a bit stickily during the process, we unfortunately didn’t have sex in that bathroom due to the checkout time.

Minji, who came out of the motel, put on her mask and sunglasses again and grumbled.

“Got raped by a crazy bastard and even paid for it…”

“I’m sorry…”

It was true.

Although I had boldly suggested going to the motel, I didn’t have a penny, so Minji ended up paying for everything.

Even the drink I took out of the fridge because my throat was dry.

“Give me your phone.”

Minji took my phone and saved her name in it.

After hesitating for a while, I saved it as [Minji-nim].

It seemed like she was hesitating whether to put a heart on it or not. In the end, she decided not to.

“Get rid of that old wallet.”

Saying that, Minji handed me her wallet.

The wallet still had cash and cards in it.

I tried to return the wallet in embarrassment, but Minji didn’t take it back.

Then, I asked Minji, who was covering her face, softly.

“Is Gaeun your boyfriend? Um… ah.”

As if something had come to her mind, Minji frowned.

An expression of discomfort appeared on her face.

“He’s not my boyfriend, but there’s a guy who keeps bothering me about Gaeun recently.”

Suddenly, fully dressed Minji handed me her phone with an annoyed expression.

“But that guy keeps popping up everywhere.”

In Minji’s phone, there was a photo under the name Kang Seok.

With a photo showing off his muscular body, a message saying [How about it?] came in.

What was even more impressive was that Minji replied with just two characters, [병신] (idiot).

In response to her sarcastic reply, Kangseok seemed taken aback and did not reply.

“Gaeun is… just ignore her, why do you keep responding? In about 3 weeks, we won’t see each other anyway.”

“3 weeks?”

“Oh, it’s the day when the hero’s rank is determined regularly. They also check if any villains are mixed among the heroes. That guy is definitely a villain, right?”

As soon as I saw the 3-week period, I remembered the end date of the quest I had read before.

[The remaining time is 2 weeks and 5 days.]

It seemed like something was overlapping with the end date of the quest.

I recalled the previous quest.

The quest that ended at the amusement park.

What would have happened if I hadn’t been there?

Maybe the two of them would have developed a deeper relationship at the amusement park.

I prevented that.

In that case, on the day the hero’s rank is determined, wouldn’t Kangseok be recognized as a strong man by Choi Gaeun?

“But why are you asking me about that?”

As I was lost in thought, Minji kicked my shin as if she was annoyed.

It didn’t hurt, but it was a kick that clearly showed her disappointment.

“If you flirt with any other girl besides me, you’re dead. Got it?”

“I got it. I won’t do it.”

“You’re good at answering… sigh.”

“…But can you do it?”

“…Do you think I can?”

After a long hesitation, Minji replied.

I took her long deliberation as a positive sign.

“So you can do it?”

“…Just do it, idiot…”

After gently touching Minji’s cheek, we parted ways.

After parting ways, I headed to the hint market to receive my reward.

I had only glanced at it before, but this time, I carefully observed if there were any items that might be helpful.

As I entered the bar, the familiar scene unfolded in just two glances.

A man and a woman sucking and biting hard without caring about the stares, with smoke billowing in the corner.

I looked around while waiting for the waiter.

“What can I do for you?”

“I’ve completed the request…”

“Oh, just a moment. Boss?”

As the waiter went inside to call someone, the tattooed woman who had given me a business card before slowly walked out.

It was Violet, the owner of the hint bar.

She looked at the request form I had received and smiled broadly.

“Oh, so this is your specialty after all?”

“Ahaha…”

“Hand.”

Then, as if giving a command to a puppy, she reached out her hand to me.

I hesitated, wondering if she wanted my hand, but when I reached out my hand, she firmly grasped it.

“Have you completed the request?”

“…Yes.”

Her hand was thinner than I had thought.

The flashy nail art caught my eye.

“…Hmm, you really have. Here’s your reward.”

“Yes.”

Nodding, Violet gestured to the waiter to bring the money.

Just by holding my hand, she seemed confident that I had completed the request.

Thinking back, even when she first met me, she realized I wasn’t a hero after a light touch.

Is this Violet’s ability?

“Right, I can tell if someone is lying.”

Violet said with a smile.

“I saw you were curious.”

“Here it is.”

At that moment, the waiter hurried over.

I thought he might bring a thick bag of money, but he only had a small card in his right hand.

Violet gestured for me to take the card.

“Here, take it. It’s 70 million won.”

“…”

I was momentarily breathless.

When I received the request, I thought it would be useful to conquer Choi Gaeun, so I quickly accepted the request without properly checking the amount.

In an instant, I earned a whopping 70 million won.

“Don’t worry, it’s all in there. Don’t take this lightly. I might end up being devoured like the hero of this request if I’m not careful.”

Perhaps Violet mistook my shock at the huge sum of money as suspicion, as she reassured me with a joking remark.

I casually put the card in my wallet.

Then, bidding farewell to Violet and the staff, I stepped outside the bar.

It seemed rare for Violet to see someone off.

Of course, there was a reason for that.

The reason was that successfully completing this kind of request was a very rare occurrence.

“There’s no harm in showing off, right?”

Saying that, Violet grabbed my hand and placed it on her hip.

“Please take care of me in the future, okay?”

“…”

After nodding at her blatant appeal, I decided to look around the market.

The first place I visited seemed to be a store selling weapons.

There was no sign, but the weapons neatly displayed in front of the store were impressive, like fruits on display.

Whichever weapon I held, it felt like it was glued to my hand like never before.

“Hmm…”

At first, when I saw Choi Gaeun’s fortress, I thought I had to fight and defeat Choi Gaeun.

But after hearing the information from Minji, my thoughts changed.

Perhaps defeating a man named Kang Seok might be the right strategy.

If I become a hero and rank up, will I have a chance to fight?

“…I need a sword…”

Excluding the dagger.

I didn’t have the courage to stab someone with a sword or spear.

And I also excluded long-range weapons.

I didn’t know much, but even if I won, it seemed difficult to look like a strong man.

So I chose a baseball bat.

It looked ordinary on the outside, but when I held it, it felt quite heavy.

If I hadn’t acquired the strength skill, it would have been difficult to swing.

“There’s an iron core inside.”

The owner of the weapon shop, who had been watching me choose a weapon, added an explanation.

I thought the weapons in the market would be extraordinary, and indeed, they were different in some way.

However, my focus was elsewhere.

“Do I look strong to you?”

“…Yes? Oh, yes.”

I completed the payment with the card given to me by Violet.
