Chapter 610

〈 Chapter 610: Part 2, Chapter 2, Scene 5 〉

As the door opened, a black-haired woman dressed in an OL uniform appeared.

“Hello, I’ve come for the interview.”

I immediately scanned her from head to toe.

She was about 170cm tall, similar to Raon. Her black suit was clearly meant for daily office wear but hugged her figure as if tailored to accentuate every curve.

And what stood out most was her mysterious aura.

– Ooouuuhh~

– Oooouuuhh~

– Sister or not, she’s killing meee!

Even just a glance at the bust area beneath her blouse revealed impressive E~F cup proportions. Paired with her slender waist, it created an eye-catching silhouette.

“Hmm…”

It took me 0.5 seconds to scan her with my abilities, and another 0.5 seconds to make eye contact again. I turned back to face her directly.

“What position are you here to interview for?”

“I saw the job posting for administrative staff at Oracle Studio.”

“Administrative staff… Ah yes.”

The posting was still technically up, but this wasn’t really the place for interviews.

‘A one-star company.’

After rejecting so many candidates, we’d received enough bad reviews that Oracle was now seen as a fly-by-night venture capital firm.

“It might be better if we discussed this elsewhere.”

“You mean inside?”

“Not exactly. Since you came all this way…”

I gestured toward the stairs leading down to the first floor while placing a hand on her shoulder.

“How about we conduct the interview over coffee? Our studio isn’t particularly formal.”

With a wink, I headed downstairs to the café. She followed behind me as I maintained my composure and opened the café door.

‘What is going on?’

Could this woman have been born solely to disrupt every established pattern I know? Or had some DLC twist rewritten fate?

“Boss, mind if we take a seat? We’re conducting an administrative staff interview.”

“Plenty of space. What’ll it be?”

“I’ll have whatever you recommend.”

“Strawberry ade for me…and…”

I glanced meaningfully at her chest before pointing at the menu board.

“…a hot caramel macchiato for you.”

I didn’t know her name or why she was here, but one thing was certain:

That F-cup figure was unmistakably familiar.

“Please, take a seat.”

“Thank you.”

Facing me across the table, she produced her resume. The meticulousness of her preparation – printing it on paper and inserting it into a transparent folder – almost made me doubt my initial impressions.

“Let’s start with some basic information. Your name…Sun Gyeoul? Age 23?”

“Yes, I’m 23.”

“…”

Though she looked young, there was an air of maturity suggesting someone older. Still, her face matched the stated age. Her figure, however, seemed distinctly non-Korean.

“Graduated from New Seoul Girls’ High School…Ah, you’re an ability user? Illusion Magic D-Rank.”

“My talent lies in mental processing speed. Experts say my reaction time is twice that of an average person. However, it doesn’t seem suited for hero or hunter work.”

“Indeed. Clearly your skills would be better utilized in administrative tasks.”

Her ability wasn’t particularly remarkable. While having awakened magic power granted enhanced physical capabilities, her type of illusion magic paled in comparison to reality-bending abilities like time acceleration or spatial warping.

“Why our studio specifically? You must have heard about our less-than-stellar reputation.”

“Well, to be honest, my dream is to become an actress.”

“Go on.”

“But due to family opposition, I haven’t been able to pursue acting directly. That’s why I’d like to work as an administrator at a studio to learn about the industry from the inside.”

Sun Gyeoul’s determination matched her impressive figure. Just then, Huan brought over our drinks, placing a strawberry tiramisu in the center of the table.

“Boss?”

“It’s on the house.”

Huan gave Sun Gyeoul a flirtatious wink before returning to his post. As I sipped my strawberry ade and picked up my fork, I decided to probe further.

“How serious is this family opposition?”

“…Um, they conduct tax audits…”

“Tax audits? Is your father perhaps the commissioner of the National Tax Service?”

“No… It’s written in my profile.”

I lifted a piece of tiramisu along with a strawberry to my mouth, using my other hand to pick up her application.

“Family relations…Father…Sun Icheol?”

“…”

The strawberry tiramisu dropped into my ade.

“Isn’t this actually Cheon Gaeul?”

– Wow! You know Cheon Gaeul? Poor girl…

– Real talk only~

– Haha

“Mr. Ha, your reaction suggests it might be Cheon Gaeul.”

[Laon.D.Stealer]: What makes you think it’s Cheon Gaeul? I’m currently in Seoul.

“That’s right.”

Cheon Gaeul.

The villain encountered by the protagonist group during the March 1st Seoul Recovery Operation, the Chapter 1 boss, and the hidden heroine.

While encountering her under these circumstances was unexpected, she remains a significant character to me.

“How does Sun Icheol even have a daughter? Can he even produce children with that size?”

– Size doesn’t matter when it comes to sperm production

– Modern medicine is amazing!

– Must be DLC content lol

“This is giving me a headache. If I reject her, will I end up facing a tax audit?”

Given her undeniable connection to President Sun Icheol, Sun Gyeoul’s identity seems confirmed.

“She really does look like Cheon Gaeul…”

My instincts are telling me this black-haired beauty enjoying her caramel macchiato is indeed Cheon Gaeul.

But without concrete evidence…

“Maybe a quick check would confirm it…”

Just looking won’t reveal someone’s stats. Only through intimate contact, when male essence meets female essence and magic power flows, can true stats be verified.

“And even if I recruit her, that wouldn’t work…”

[LastCommander]: Ability users can manipulate their stats. You won’t know until after magic power exchange…hehe

Even recruited allies’ abilities can’t be trusted.

Take Yu-Sung’s Xroid form – until magic power exchange, their profile appears completely human. The system window itself functions through the commander’s ability, essentially encouraging physical intimacy to uncover truth.

“But if I force verification, not only would my identity as commander be exposed, but President Sun would find out too.”

Her attractiveness is undeniable – while her face differs, her figure perfectly matches Cheon Gaeul’s.

“Hmm…Something about this feels like DLC content…”

DLC adds elements without altering the main storyline.

Chapter 1’s boss remains definitively Cheon Gaeul. The story truly begins when villainous forces emerge from Seoul’s underground like ants.

“There couldn’t possibly be a sister to Cheon Gaeul, could there? Alright, let’s see how this plays out.”

– Really?

– She’s the president’s daughter!

– What are you planning?

– Aren’t you only supposed to romance heroines?

“Quiet everyone. A properly filmed F-cup OL magic power exchange scene should settle this.”

– Agreed

– ^^7

– From today onward, you’re a heroine!

What a smooth pivot. I briefly glanced at him, who had been conspicuously filming me. Of all the heroines, Cheon Gaeul was someone he paid particular attention to.

[…]

Silently, he wrote something in the air where no one could see.

If it’s Cheon Gaeul, we continue. If it’s just DLC content, we’ll reassess later.

“Fuhehe…”

Permission granted. Now it’s simply a matter of confirming whether she’s truly Cheon Gaeul.

Through magic power exchange, the truth will be revealed.

“If it’s not Cheon Gaeul, then this becomes a story of a Western golden-haired man seducing President Sun’s daughter – quite the scandal for him. But if it is Cheon Gaeul, then future complications are avoided. No stress about recruiting a villain as an ally.”

Decision made.

“Now let’s get to work.”

Whether known strategies will succeed or new approaches are needed…

I began devising a plan to incorporate Sun Gyeoul.

* * *

“Sis, hearing anything?”

“How could we hear from the second floor? We have soundproof booths installed.”

“Ahhh, why install soundproof booths??”

“Because with soundproofing, we can scream ‘Hyaahhh!’ to our heart’s content!”

Yuna quietly sipped her coffee. Laon, Nuri, and Gaon pressed their ears to the floor, using their magic powers to try eavesdropping on the conversation below.

“Hmph…”

“Yuna-ssi, aren’t you worried? This could be a new member!”

“That depends on Oppa’s decision. She could just be hired as regular staff, or become our fifth…no sixth team member.”

“How can Yuna-ssi stay so calm?”

The three were amazed by Yuna’s composure. Given her evident affection for him, one would expect her to storm downstairs immediately, yet she remained serene, calmly sipping her coffee.

“After all, Oppa said he was recruiting seven members. I accepted from the start that there would be six other women besides me.”

“…Sis is amazing.”

“Should we call it broad-mindedness or enlightenment?”

“Both. We just hope the group doesn’t grow further.”

Yuna gestured toward the beds sprawled around the office. Already five beds filled one corner of the wall.

“At this rate, soon the entire office will be filled with beds. Fortunately, there’s only room here for eight beds – one for Oppa and seven for the women.”

“He did mention buying a new building, something like a guild house.”

“……Oh dear, my coffee’s finished. I’ll go order more from downstairs.”

A moment later.

The four debated who should descend.

* * *

“Miss Sun Gyeoul. Before we proceed, I need one clear assurance. Are you confident that accepting your employment will not result in any government interference?”

“It will not. Because…”

Sun Gyeoul placed her hand on her chest confidently.

“If they keep trying to restrict me, I’ve threatened to go abroad for language study.”

“…Ah, understood.”

It’s difficult to judge. Without knowing how President Sun treats his daughter, bringing Sun Gyeoul onboard as both employee and potential team member remains problematic.

“One last question. Are you prepared to handle all sorts of tasks at the company?”

“Of course. Please assign me duties.”

“Just hypothetically speaking…”

I rested my arm on the table and extended my other hand toward Sun Gyeoul.

“If I were to express interest in spending the night together, would you still wish to join our studio?”

“Is that an interview question or sexual harassment?”

Sun Gyeoul’s expression hardened. Contempt flickered in her eyes, and her chair, slightly pushed back, suggested she might leave at any moment.

“That constitutes inappropriate sexual harassment.”

“Knowing it’s wrong, why ask?”

“Because that’s part of what we do here at the studio.”

“…”

“Miss Sun Gyeoul interests me genuinely, but I feel obligated to warn you. Though you may have seen our business card claiming to be Oracle Studio’s Korean branch, we haven’t mentioned specifics about actor recruitment. In your role as administrative staff, you’ll inevitably encounter aspects of our operations. You’ll also be responsible for explaining these matters to others.”

“Surely you don’t mean actors in…”

“Yes, precisely.”

I revealed the studio’s true nature.

“Pornographic films-”

“More accurately, films featuring explicit scenes between male and female actors. For reference, I also perform as the male actor…Excuse me, did you say something?”

“…”

Sun Gyeoul was speechless.
