Chapter 564

〈 Episode 564 〉 [Lesbian Side Story] Chang-yeom and Phoenix 018

Yun Yuhwa.

Speaking of her—

[Leader of Yu-Sung, Xroid user, puppet master, loves sex, into both sides but still a virgin! End!]

With Chang-yeom’s straightforward explanation, I immediately spilled the beans about Yun Yuhwa.

Why?

Because Chang-yeom told me to. Precisely, Chang-yeom didn’t want any long debates or negotiations with Yun Yuhwa.

[We already have the means to make Yuha spread her legs anyway, right?]

“Huh?”

[Phoenix.]

Though it may sound surprising, I had already amassed an incredible amount of capital in America. Within just a year, I successfully transferred all the official market caps that Yu-Sung publicly announced straight into my bank account.

How?

Original Work Cheat.

Even if the original work is trashy and frustrating, ignoring honey hunting grounds or Core fields from the original would be a waste.

So, I mined every hidden Core field scattered across America and secured far more Cores than the monsters north of the 38th parallel could ever provide.

Yun Yuhwa is a tough Heroine.

But to briefly express Yun Yuhwa’s difficulty level—her challenge is inversely proportional to capital.

The more money, the easier she becomes.

That is, for me, she’s even easier to pursue than Seok Harang!

“But should I go after Yun Yuhwa?”

[It’s what I want.]

“Then let’s do it.”

How could I refuse when Chang-yeom wishes it?! And personally, Yun Yuhwa seemed more convenient for me.

[Isn’t Yun Yuhwa better for you? It’s possible.]

Chang-yeom’s suggestion tempted me for one reason:

“Wouldn’t Yuha do it?”

I was entertaining some pretty bold fantasies. If there’s a woman in Korea who can boost my male pride, it would undoubtedly be Yun Yuhwa first.

[Buying Yuha with money! You’re a sex trafficking criminal!]

“But… isn’t this like buying galge too? If we nitpick, heroines are—”

[Enough. I give up.]

“What are you thinking so deeply about?”

In the middle of my mental argument with Chang-yeum, Yun Yuhwa finally spoke.

“If you called someone, you should respond, right?”

“Do you plan to hide your identity?”

“After seeing Xroid, how can I possibly explain away being Yun Yuhwa?”

True. From Yun Yuhwa’s perspective, I must seem like someone who has already figured everything out and summoned her.

“Alright. Ms. Phoenix from the Mecca of capitalism, what did you bring me here to talk about?”

[Sex!]

“…Let’s proceed step by step. I’d like Yu-Sung to handle the disposal of the Cores obtained from the recent Moby Dick hunt.”

At my words, Yun Yuhwa tilted her head.

“You mean S Rank Cores? That’s already been taken care of by Yu-Sung. In fact, no other place in this country can handle such enormous disposals besides Yu-Sung.”

“Is that so? Perfect. Personally, I also wanted to start trading with Yu-Sung.”

“……”

I could hear the sound of money rolling around in my head from here.

“Strawberry Guild Hunter? Is this really the moment when American capital flows into our country? Ignoring 80% tax?”

“No way. That won’t happen. What I want to say is this.”

I showed her footage of the inside of Moby Dick’s corpse. There, glittering beautifully, was the S Rank Core, and upon seeing it, Yun Yuhwa licked her lips.

“Just looking at it makes me happy.”

“Not that one. Below.”

“Huh?”

“There’s a Core beneath the Core.”

I pointed to the A Rank Cores hidden under the S Rank Core, amidst the Blue Flame.

“777 A Rank Cores. They’re for you.”

“……”

Yun Yuhwa froze.

“Excuse me?”

“Ms. Phoenix. Since this conversation is being recorded by Xroid…”

“Yes.”

“Did you just say ‘gift’?”

Oh.

[My galge brain malfunctioned.]

Always falling into the trap of offering gifts to heroines, I ended up saying “gift” without realizing it.

“Give me the gift.”

“…Shouldn’t you decline at least a little?”

“With 777 A Rank Cores on the line, I should probably kneel.”

Yun Yuhwa flipped upside down into a perfect triangle pose. At her precise grand jeté, I found myself clapping involuntarily.

“That’s the right stance. In capitalism, the person with the most money is always in charge.”

“Being the subordinate doesn’t feel great, but I can’t argue with someone trying to earn money, right?”

The calculation was done. Yun Yuhwa had submitted to my capital.

Of course, using the word ‘submit’ directly or indirectly would make her an enemy. The most appropriate expression for dealing with her would be this:

“I hope we can become good business partners. Taxes in Korea are way too high.”

By asserting a ‘collaboration’ relationship while building rapport, could there be a better way to raise Yun Yuhwa’s goodwill towards me? Absolutely not.

“Indeed… I could become the ultimate tax-saving method for you, Ms. Phoenix.”

“It’s exactly that.”

Not tax evasion. I’m merely aiming to legally profit from these properly priced Cores.

“Alright. I’ll set up an account for Ms. Phoenix, and we’ll quietly calculate the Cores in the background… But wait, are these processed Cores? No, right?”

“Don’t worry. These are all purified Cores. Once we attach Core numbers, they’re ready for sale.”

Hundreds of A Rank Cores could easily spark a monster frenzy. It’d be foolish to ruin oneself just for a bit of money.

“Alright. Let’s move on to the main topic now.”

“Weren’t the A Rank Cores the main topic?”

“Of course not. That’s irrelevant. The truly important thing is something else entirely.”

I extended my hand toward Yun Yuhwa.

“Give me strawberries. I’m having a sugar craving right now.”

“……?”

“Strawberries. I’m dying from all this sweetness overload.”

“…I don’t think you mean the kind of daughter I’m thinking of… Alright, please come inside.”

Yun Yuhwa led me inside. She probably couldn’t serve strawberries on the deck, so she guided me into the ship.

“S-s-h-”

The deeper we went, the stronger the strawberry scent grew. There was the natural aroma of strawberries and the artificial scent from products. Chang-yeom liked everything.

‘There won’t be any more incidents of exploitation.’

There wouldn’t be any situations where Chang-yeom feeds off me uncontrollably, nor moments of anxiety akin to quitting smoking.

“Here we are.”

“Wow.”

When Yun Yuhwa opened the inner door, strawberries filled the room.

[Permission granted for cutesy antics with Yun Yuhwa.]

Chang-yeom instantly approved of the relationship with Yun Yuhwa. I sat at the table.

A triangular strawberry cake—Chang-yeom’s favorite food, which coincidentally matched my sudden craving.

“Bon appétit.”

“This cake comes from a place I quite like in New Seoul.”

[Shall we visit New Seoul and enjoy some time with Yuha’s main body?]

An item from one of my few sanctuaries in the wretched original work. Especially since it was food I couldn’t eat without Chang-yeom.

Chang-yeom had been thinking about doing “that sort of thing” with Yun Yuhwa since earlier.

And so was I.

While I trembled with pleasure as Chang-yeom exploited me, it wasn’t enough to suppress my desires.

Right before my eyes was the heroine.

Just within reach, the heroine waited for me.

But I was hesitant to speak.

What if I messed up by saying something wrong? What if our relationship gets off to a bad start from the very beginning?

Still, I had to ask. To fulfill the damp, selfish desires within me, I brought out the question I had buried deep inside.

“Miss Yuha. I know a little—not just a little, but quite a lot—about you.”

“Yes. Please continue.”

Yun Yuhwa looked at me with a sly gaze, as if she already knew what I was about to say.

[Why so nervous? You look like a virgin entering a red-light district.]

“I’ve never been.”

[But aren’t you Casanova in the galge virtual reality?]

“That’s just a game.”

I swallowed hard. By experience, I could confidently say I wasn’t lacking, yet somehow it felt embarrassing to say.

“Do you know about my sexual preferences?”

“Yes. Of course. Aren’t you a lesbian?”

“……”

Caught. Completely caught. Unable to deny being a lesbian because of my history with Seok Harang, I couldn’t refute it.

“Yes, that’s correct. So why am I bringing this up?”

“You need more than just a business partner, right? You need a sex partner too?”

“Yes.”

Admitting it felt refreshing. Since it was an undeniable fact, I pointed to the bed in the room.

“Want to be casual sex partners?”

“I don’t have a choice, do I? Even though you know I’m Xroid and still want this… Hmm, is it really this easy?”

[Of course!]

Chang-yeom was already stretching her wings toward the bed. I took Yun Yuhwa’s hand and led her to the bed.

“Can I ask one favor? On the bed… let me have my way.”

“As much as you want. Xroid is designed to serve the customer. So, what do you desire?”

“……just let me.”

“Huh? What did you say? I didn’t hear you clearly.”

“Uh… Can I use a dildo harness? Is that okay?”

“……”

Yun Yuhwa kissed me gently as she guided me toward the bed.
