Chapter 613

〈Chapter 613〉 Part 2, Chapter 2, 08

Having sent out four people in sequence, I dragged my weary body out of the door.

The semen caught by Yuna became spare Fengyuhuan items, and I grabbed the Fengyuhuan I had prepared earlier before heading out into the night streets.

Sssshhwooosh—

The chilly night air pierced my lungs. Even in New Seoul, the early morning was eerily desolate, with hardly anyone around.

Even in New Seoul, it’s wise not to wander around at night.

To those who live in this world, night is a perilous time when monsters or beasts could appear anywhere, anytime—even if Light Blade techniques are said to seal off all of New Seoul.

‘Of course, that doesn’t apply to me.’

I always have unofficial bodyguards trailing me. There’s the Xroid that Yun Yuhwa keeps circling around me, the Hero from the Hero Association keeping tabs on me, and the Villain from the Patriotic Youth League that Sun Icheol uses to monitor me.

And then there’s the assassin who wants to kill me more than anyone else but finds it too troublesome—she’s somewhere nearby.

I stopped by a 24-hour convenience store to check if she was lurking around.

Jjang, jjang.

“Welcome…”

The exhausted young man barely nodded at me. Though he flinched slightly at the sight of a foreigner, he didn’t seem overly bothered.

“Could you ring these up for me?”

“……”

He looked rather reluctant as I picked up two drinks. Mechanically, he scanned the barcodes of the two milk cartons.

“6000 won.”

“Here you go.”

Expensive for 350ml of milk—and there’s no 2+1 deal—but this is standard in New Seoul. After all, apart from Daegwan-ling Dairy Farm, all cattle farms were destroyed by monster attacks.

The sharp prices cutting into my wallet hurt more than the cold night air piercing my lungs. With two bottles of milk in hand, I headed to the park under the moonlight.

“…….”

Sitting on the bench, I activated the auction interface by pressing my Magical Gear. The Fengyuhuan I had already listed before even making them with Yuna’s help had sold for an overwhelming price.

2 trillion. There’s only one person who would splurge like this. As the seller, I immediately messaged the buyer.

[Would you like to purchase now?]

[Location.]

[New Seoul XX Park Bench.]

[I’ll be there in 10 minutes.]

Of course, they came quickly. Even though there’s no risk of someone stealing it, they’re clearly anxious to see results.

‘They’d need to take quite a bit to notice effects.’

Seok Harang was on the verge of upgrading from S Rank to SS Rank, so her figure adjusted immediately.

But for someone willing to pay 2 trillion for a Fengyuhuan, like Yun Yuhwa, the situation is different.

After awakening to A Rank, she’s at level 77 of light speed. She’d need to consume 13 Fengyuhuan to reach S Rank—and achieve B Cup status.

‘Poor souls.’

The gods granted them the talent of special abilities, honor, and wealth—but not breast size.

Filling in what heroines lack is key to courting them. For the trio of Seok Harang, Yun Yuhwa, and Baek Hee-a, chest size is one of the main points of interest.

‘Though, it’s not the only point.’

The proper way is to respond to their interests.

Seok Harang values her career as a Hero, Yun Yuhwa prioritizes economic benefits, and Baek Hee-a puts national interests first.

And another method is giving them what they love—especially food.

Seok Harang loves blueberries and Western cuisine, Yun Yuhwa prefers coffee and desserts, and Baek Hee-a adores domestic teas and rice cakes. Offering them their favorite foods is also a way to court heroines.

Meeow—

Just like now. I looked down at the black cat that approached right below the bench.

“Are you hungry?”

Meeoooww.

“I only have this…just wait a moment.”

I deliberately opened the unopened milk carton. The black cat leapt onto the bench, eyeing me cautiously, and I offered the milk to it.

“Drink up. It might be a little cold, but you’ll be fine.”

Meeoooow.

The cat stuck its head into the milk carton and began lapping it up. I stroked its shiny fur.

“Can cats eat chocolate?”

The cat, busy lapping up the mint chocolate milk, suddenly perked its tail straight up. I patted the cat to calm it down.

“If you’re hungry, there’s nothing you can do about it. If anything happens, I’ll take you to the vet.”

Meeooow…

The cat focused on drinking the milk again. It was already February, and they were starting to become active.

‘What should I do?’

Letting the chapter flow naturally is best, but sticking strictly to the rules isn’t necessary. The original storyline ultimately exists just to create incidents involving the heroines.

‘I’ll have to play a trick later.’

First, start by lowering their guard. Though they’re already relaxed enough to let me touch them, remember, this is still one of the strongest enemies targeting me.

Penril of Gale.

A high-ranking officer of the Dark Legion and the strongest assassin appeared beside me to kill me.

Although she fell for the irresistible allure of mint chocolate milk and stuck her tongue into the carton, such boldness comes from her confidence that she could slice off my head at any moment.

‘If I don’t handle it properly by March 1st, Penril will game over me.’

Naturally, I refuse that ending. I pet Penril’s fur while waiting for time to pass.

Clack, clack.

The sound of heels echoed behind me. I stopped stroking Penril’s back and stood up.

“You’ve arrived right on time.”

“I’d like to see the item.”

The familiar woman’s voice. I turned around while pulling out the case containing the Fengyuhuan.

“It’s here.”

A woman with long black hair flowing down to her waist, dressed in a black long padded jacket, stood before me. Her bright red lipstick stood out even in the dark night. Though it was unusual that she wore dark sunglasses at night, her disguise was utterly useless.

‘This must be the identity-shifted external activity version of an Xroid.’

Since I already know everything about Yun Yuhwa’s dolls, there’s no way she can fool me. I decided to simply overlook her cute move of sending a doll to buy something on her behalf.

“……Is this it?”

“Yes. You’ll understand the effect once you use it.”

“But I’m not the one using it.”

Yuhwa shoved the case into her pocket and immediately tapped her Magical Gear. The instant transfer of 2 trillion left me genuinely impressed.

“Cool trade, thank you.”

“It’s not entirely cool. I have a favor to ask.”

“Favor? Surely you’re not thinking of buying more?”

“There’s that, and something else. I assume you know where I’m from.”

Yuhwa made the first move.

“Of course. Someone from Yu-Sung Group, right?”

“That’s correct. I’ve been sent by Chairman.”

“Ah, so the Chairman loves collecting such items for his granddaughter.”

“Indeed. And we wish to establish a close relationship with you. The Chairman wishes to conduct business with you.”

Unexpected. Yun Yuhwa directly proposed a business partnership with me. Though I did hint at my identity to Yun Yuhwa, it’s still a bit early for her to approach me so soon.

“What kind of trade are you proposing?”

“We seek exclusive rights to the Fengyuhuan trade.”

“That’s impossible. Fengyuhuan is for everyone suffering. One person monopolizing it is unacceptable.”

“Even if we offer billions?”

“Even trillions cannot change my principles.”

There’s no reason to sell exclusively to Yun Yuhwa when I’m not going down her route.

“What do you really want? Your earlier statement wasn’t entirely genuine, was it?”

“Partially true. Exclusive rights to valuable items are fundamental. Then…how about support in human resources?”

“Be specific.”

“We’ll provide Xroids.”

Yun Yuhwa revealed her real purpose.

“Specify the desired female figure, and we’ll produce a new Xroid tailored to your specifications and deliver it. We can replicate celebrities, famous individuals, even heroes. Royalties will be covered by us.”

“Then I’ll place a special order.”

I met the doll’s gaze as I held its hand.

“A replica of the Chairman’s granddaughter, please.”

“……Is that a refusal of the deal?”

The doll’s lips curled slightly. She must be thinking all sorts of things.

“Why do you think that?”

“That….”

Worried that her identity has been exposed. But all those worries are baseless.

‘Xroids can replicate body shapes up to 99% accurately.’

An Xroid with the same figure as Yun Yuhwa—that’s what I want.

“My request for an Xroid identical to Yun Yuhwa has no other reason. There’s only one.”

“What is it?”

“The inherent purpose of an Xroid. Sex, sex.”

Gyaah?!

The cat on the bench shrieked in shock. I whispered lowly to the doll whose hand I held.

“Is that unacceptable?”

“…Why does Miss Yun Yuhwa appeal to you so much for sex?”

“I want to spend a night with an attractive woman. Any man would feel the same.”

“If you could touch the real person, would you pounce on her immediately?”

“That wouldn’t be unreasonable.”

“……”

Yun Yuhwa fell silent at my overt sexual appeal. Since she pretends to be someone else posing as Yun Yuhwa, she cannot show any aversion even if she wanted to.

We’re discussing this with an employee of the Yu-Sung Group, technically the Chairman’s representative. Whether the Chairman is Yun Yuhwa or the actual entity, in this conversation, Yun Yuhwa remains a third party.

“…This is a difficult question to answer from my position.”

Ultimately, after some deliberation, Yun Yuhwa decided to retreat a step. She needs to judge which side benefits her more before making a decision based on her own interests.

“Please consider it. If you have personal preferences….”

I firmly held the doll’s hand and met her gaze. Through her sunglasses, faint golden eyes stared directly at me.

“Send one capable of internal ejaculation.”

“……”

“A, anal play too.”

“……”

The doll hastily retreated.

* * *

“Ah, big brother. You’re here…?”

Yuna greeted me. The four who had passed out on the sofa had already regained consciousness and tidied up the office.

“Didn’t everyone go home yet?”

“…With wobbly legs? It’s too late anyway. They said they’d sleep over at a friend’s house.”

“Is this place a friend’s house?”

“Boyfriend’s house?”

I tousled Yuna’s hair. She rolled her eyes and stood up.

“Where did you go?”

“I went to make money. Need money to buy clothes today, right?”

I showed her the funds marked in our Magical Gear. Yuna rubbed her eyes and checked the number of zeros.

“……How much is it?”

She immediately gave up. The endless parade of zeros seemed to wake her up completely.

“2 trillion.”

“…Did big brother get promoted to Commander?”

“Something like that. Don’t worry. I’ve established good relations. Thanks to the Fengyuhuan, we’ve gained a local collaborator. Who it is remains a secret.”

If Raon finds out, she’d likely disapprove, so I need to keep it hidden for now. If others besides Yuna learn about having capital worth 2 trillion, that alone could cause trouble.

“Big brother, I have one thing I’m really curious about.”

“Hmm, what is it?”

“……What exactly is the cat on your shoulder?”

“Oh, this guy?”

I tickled the chin of the cat sitting on my shoulder. The purring black cat yawned widely before closing its eyes again.

“Our new team member.”

“Team member?”

“Yeah. Squad.”

“…You’re not planning anything weird with the cat, are you?”

Nyaahh!

The cat bared its mouth toward Yuna in annoyance. I patted the cat’s back to calm it down.

“Tch, would I do that? Come on, show your true form.”

The cat jumped from my shoulder onto the sofa and began glowing with green magical power.

“Eh, eh…?”

The cat started taking on a human shape. A green-haired woman roughly Yuna’s height grew wearing a white maid outfit with cat ear headbands.

“Kim Penril, a therianthrope with special abilities, meow!”

“……Your concept is really solid. But…aren’t you incredibly strong?”

“Correct. S Rank.”

“……Is this the first time we’re meeting?”

“Ah, let me explain, meow.”

Penril, with a meaningful look, placed her hands on her hips and declared proudly.

“High-ranking officer of the Dark Legion <Penril of Gale>! Starting today, I’ve decided to share my fate with the Commander, meow.”

“She defected.”

“……Huh?”

Yuna froze. I patted Penril’s head and spoke.

“I persuaded her.”

With words sweeter than mint chocolate, I brought Penril to my side.

“…You didn’t persuade her with sex, did you?”

“Not yet, meow.”

“……Not yet?”

“This girl is kinda scary, meow.”

“She’s a goddess.”

A little later.

While the other three were still asleep, I recounted in detail to the goddess how I persuaded Kim Penril.
