Chapter 592

〈 Chapter 592: Part 2, Chapter 1-22 〉

It had been three days since Raon joined our squad.

Aside from the addition of Raon, our daily routine hadn’t changed much.

“There seems to be a person who might carry the Monster Virus in their heart. Sorry, but you can’t join us.”

“What is this place?! Are you interviewing or rejecting people?!”

The woman sitting across from me suddenly shouted and threw her drink at my face. I was drenched in sticky strawberry latte. Yuna and Raon behind me were awkwardly at a loss.

“Hmph, what’s going on here? Some guy she dated went wrong, so now she’s bound to become a monster? If I hadn’t avoided her, she’d have sued for defamation!”

The woman grumbled as she stormed out, slamming the office door. I licked the strawberry latte dripping from my lips and wiped my face with wet tissues.

“Young man, why did you let that happen?”

“Maybe I should’ve given her mint chocolate latte. That probably would’ve made her avoid it.”

“…Do you really like strawberries that much?”

“What’s wrong with that? Actually, one of the reasons I came to Korea is because the strawberries here are delicious. Fufufu.”

I lifted the soaked job application of the woman who just left. Her credentials were decent, her academic background solid, and her Magic Power ranked E-class, which wasn’t bad. But due to the harsh employment situation in Hell Joseon, she had applied randomly and ended up here for an interview.

“To think someone with such specs would apply here… She must feel wasted on us.”

“Actually?”

“She seemed like someone who’d betray and run away from any guild infiltrated by Chinese capital after being nurtured.”

“That settles it then. If we can’t nurture her, let’s nurture ourselves instead.”

“Of course.”

As we filtered through one condition after another, there weren’t many viable candidates left. In fact, aside from Raon, who was already struggling through life’s hardships, most applicants coming to our company had ulterior motives.

“Boss, how about today? We’ve had seven visitors so far, and you turned them all down.”

“Hmm, except the last one, three were members of Sun Icheol’s Patriotic Youth Corps, one was a Yu-Sung employee, one… I don’t know why they came, but they’re from the Hunter Guild. And the last two were a former C-Rank Hero with potential.”

“The latter two I know. The first one is blacklisted by the Hunter Guild Federation and has been wandering around doing odd jobs, while the latter is an acquaintance of mine.”

“They’re both men, so disqualified.”

Even if they were women, there wouldn’t have been much reason to hire them. Just like the previous applicant suspected of carrying the Monster Virus, these individuals were destined to soon become Villains or Monsters.

‘How come all the coding keeps bringing in these kinds of guys?’

Finding true comrades buried in mud is no easy task. It’s a cruel trap set without any information about the initial heroines, making recruitment extremely difficult.

– ??? : Sharing the story of the boss getting splashed with latte during today’s interview.

– Wait, is he also a monster? We tried nurturing him but…

– Ah damn, I trained him up to A-Rank and now he’s spoiled here lol

Thus, the viewers watching the broadcast were suffering. Every time I mentioned reasons for rejecting applicants, those who had already hired these Special Ability users screamed in frustration.

<YunaPantiesArePurple> : Skip everyone except the heroine?

“To not become a monster. Not to join the Patriotic Youth Corps. Not to become a villain. Not to be a Yu-Sung spy. We need to unearth the real gems buried in this pile of trash. Out of 100 pieces of trash, finding one S-Rank makes it a big win.”

I spoke simultaneously to the viewers watching the broadcast and to those beside me.

“Even if you hate me now, when everything comes to light later, everyone will be shocked. Why are famous scouts famous? Because they pick out promising talents like ghosts, and they don’t have failed cases. That’s why they’re famous.”

After wiping off the remaining strawberry latte, I sat the two of them on the sofa.

“Upon inspection, results showed E-Rank, but it turns out it was a system error leading to an S-Rank. Core broke, but after long rehabilitation and miraculous rebirth, returned to A-Rank and became S-Rank again. Completely powerless until post-inspection awakened magical power and revealed as innate S-Rank. When these kinds of cases start accumulating, what do you think people will say when I clearly reject them?”

“Oh, so I’m not S-Rank material?”

“Exactly. Those meant to be filtered out naturally get filtered.”

Therefore, we needed to select the real deal. Among the applicants,

<LastCommander>: By the way, sir, you’ve already missed two S-Ranks.

“Hmm?”

I reviewed the past interviews upon hearing the unexpected spoiler. Checking among the known individuals, none of them possessed S-Rank qualifications.

“Let’s see…”

I unfolded holographic job applications in front of me. There were easily over thirty who had undergone interviews.

“Pick someone who seems okay based on your gut feeling. Go ahead.”

“…Alright, I choose this person!”

“In that case, I’ll go with this one.”

Yuna picked randomly, and Raon chose an old comrade. They were men I had rejected simply because they were male.

-WTF lmao

-Oh no spoilers!

-Heroine chance success!

A vague feeling hit me. These guys were probably the ones who would gangbang the female commander 3:1. I inwardly rejoiced.

“There’s an S-Rank smell coming from them…”

“No way!”

“Not possible. Rejection is final. Bringing back someone we rejected once is against etiquette.”

Yuna and Raon strongly opposed. Their names sounded suspiciously like <Lee Cheong-Hyun>, <Baek Seung-Hwa>, which made me chuckle.

“Why oppose?”

“That goes against the boss’s principle!”

“My principle?”

“No men allowed.”

“……Isn’t that something I should say?”

Both were preventing me from hiring male S-Ranks preemptively, fearing jealousy over potential romance.

“What’s the reason?”

“T-t-that’s…”

“…Can’t commanders strengthen men too?”

Raon blushed red and shouted. Yuna gawked in shock.

“How is that possible?!”

“It’s possible! Bl-”

“Enough. I’m definitely heterosexual.”

-?????

-Heterosexual

-Bisexual

“Hmm, looks like neither of you trust me…”

Both swallowed hard. They exchanged glances under my watchful eye. Time was reaching ‘the moment,’ and they were clearly gauging each other.

‘Someone wants a 3P arrangement.’

Being ostracized isn’t good. To maintain harmony among the starting members, it must be a 4P.

“I need to show that I like women clearly.”

“Uh, then…”

“Cough…”

I took off my shirt. Both looked expectantly as I dramatically stripped and headed toward the shower.

“I’ll clean up and return.”

* * *

“…Sister, let’s make an agreement.”

“Of course. Let’s promise not to fight among ourselves.”

No words were necessary. Both lightly shook hands, igniting camaraderie.

“Monday, Wednesday, Friday.”

“Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.”

“Sunday is the day we let brother rest.”

“Though it’s disappointing to miss a day, there’s always give and take. Since Yuna is senior, I’ll follow her wishes.”

The conversation wasn’t about sex. Despite having sex daily, they were setting the days they wouldn’t engage in it.

“Didn’t you feel it, sister?”

“Yes… The euphoria when magic power increases isn’t just an orgasm. For a brief moment, it feels like the greatest happiness one could experience in life.”

“That’s true. Even though having sex with him normally is enjoyable, the ultimate high is the magic power supply.”

“I agree.”

Magic power supply. Each time the Commander used his special ability to enhance their magic power, they reached peak pleasure repeatedly. Even if they were on drugs enhancing sexual sensitivity and having sex, nothing could compare to the blissful climax they experienced.

“Heaven must surely be within his embrace.”

“I’m glad I was born a woman.”

Being women allowed them to share this unique experience. Together, they strengthened their resolve to receive magic power supply.

“But sister, today…”

“Yes. It’s Sunday, an empty day.”

After forming a dramatic alliance, they fiercely stared at each other, igniting determination.

“Since Yuna starts tomorrow, how about letting me have today? You’ve already done it more times than me.”

“Just by single digits. Sister, being kind-hearted, can you spare me a day? Your chest size is bigger, right?”

“Do chest size and kindness correlate? Should smaller-chested people starve? Young lady Yuna, let’s settle this with rock-paper-scissors fairly.”

“Nope. Sister, you’ll see my move and change yours using your reflexes.”

“Tch. Then let’s flip a coin.”

“No, sister will use magic to ensure her choice wins. Let’s draw lots.”

“No. Fighting purely on luck against Yuna is guaranteed failure.”

“If you’re fighting purely on luck, why try to cheat?”

Their argument grew more intense. Fortunately, he was busy washing off the strawberry latte in the shower.

“Sister, if we behave well, we can do that thing. Is it right to blush and argue like this?”

“But it’s important to establish rules beforehand. You know how crucial the first step is, don’t you? Once we involve three people, things might…”

“What does involving three mean?”

“Kyaa?!”

Raon jumped at Huan’s sudden appearance. He entered the office with a strong coffee aroma, placing drinks on the table.

“We didn’t order anything.”

“Xian ordered it fifteen minutes ago.”

“…Just before I went to shower.”

“Shower, huh? …I see.”

Huan lazily opened his eyes and smirked.

“I’m planning to head out now and close the office. Heard some good coffee beans arrived, so I’m going to fetch them.”

Huan winked and moved to leave. Yuna abruptly stood and shouted.

“Hey, we’re not doing anything strange!”

“Who said otherwise? Listen up, both of you.”

Huan sternly addressed them.

“When he returns, tell him to install a soundproof booth. If he doesn’t do it himself, I’ll deduct the cost from his deposit.”

“Sorry…”

Both bowed their heads. His casual remark carried a serious warning.

“What are you apologizing for? It’s normal for young people. However, since I’m running a business downstairs, it’s sometimes inconvenient during operating hours. Especially you, Miss Yuna—”

“Sorry! Sorry!”

“…Your voice gets a little loud occasionally, so please bear with us. See you.”

Huan left. Both covered their faces in despair.

“Can’t go to cafes anymore…”

“Let’s be more careful.”

“What are you talking about? Ah, you’re back. Shower refreshes you, doesn’t it? Strawberry milk after a shower, right?”

He picked up the strawberry milk on the tray and gulped it down.

“Why do you look like sinners?”

“Well, it’s actually…”

Yuna hesitated before explaining the whole situation. He nodded seriously.

“Soundproof booth… Definitely necessary. Alright, I’ll place the order. Good timing too. I was just about to leave.”

“Wait, you’re leaving?…”

“Yes. Wasn’t I cleaning up to go out?”

“Yeah?”

“To clearly show I like women.”

He pulled out a pink business card from his coat pocket.

“Let’s go hunting for S-Rank women.”

“……”

Both glanced at each other and sighed deeply.

“Boss, while we’re out…”

“Most motels or hotels in New Seoul have hidden cameras, so it’s not safe. Until the soundproof booth is installed, avoid intense play. Especially you, Yuna… Aren’t you recently studying Western porn for moaning techniques?”

“……”

Yuna couldn’t respond. He smiled cheerfully and grabbed his coat.

“Let’s go. S-Rank hunting.”

“Excuse me, Boss. Earlier…?”

“Ah, I just visited the upstairs office. The blueberry yogurt you ordered will be ready shortly.”

“……Will it be for takeaway?”
