Chapter 42: Phone (1)

Yeon-daepyo watched Han Suhyeon, who was getting further away, for a moment, then returned to her office.

“You can come out now.”

As soon as Yeon-daepyo’s order was given, the space behind her split open.

Takanashi Irina walked out from the crack in the air.

“I was going to come out even if you didn’t tell me.”

“How can you not lose even a single word. By the way… how was it?”

“What?”

“Han Suhyeon. How was it seeing him in person?”

Takanashi Irina was lost in thought, uncharacteristically.

And she slowly thought about what she felt while looking at the man named Han Suhyeon.

Honestly, when Yeon Do-hee first showed her his appearance through iTube, she wasn’t particularly interested.

She just thought he was a man with a slightly rare skill that would be helpful to know of someday.

Irina had no intention of running a guild under her own name.

She could clear A-rank gates alone.

And although it cost a little money, she could use private monster collection companies, so she wasn’t paying attention to Han Suhyeon like other guilds or parties.

She had simply answered yes to Yeon Do-hee’s question of whether it would be helpful to recruit him to Yeonseong Guild.

But her thoughts changed a little because of what she did today after hearing Yeon-daepyo’s request.

Han Suhyeon will be visiting here today. Then, you watch him.

Yeon-daepyo’s request to watch him from behind.

Yeon-daepyo, who didn’t give Irina work unless it was really important after recruiting her, was different today.

True to her appearance as a blonde with a tan, like a delinquent, she usually lived roughly and as she pleased.

But Irina, who faithfully carried out the work she was given, watched Han Suhyeon from behind her as Yeon-daepyo said.

At first, when she saw him in front of the building, she thought he was a handsome man, as she had seen in the video.

When he handed over four corpses full of traces of torture to Team Leader Seo, she thought he was a man with a different inside and outside.

And when she saw him shake Yeon-daepyo and rip off five artifacts, she thought he was quite an interesting man.

When he kicked the testicles of the memi guy who was setting up camp in front of the association, she felt very refreshed.

Irina hated meminists very much since Hunter’s World, a game she enjoyed playing, was censored by memi.

But that was short-lived.

Irina almost ripped open the space and came out, drawing her spear, at the explosive killing intent that flowed out centered on Han Suhyeon.

The killing intent was withdrawn in just a few seconds, but to Irina, those few seconds felt like tens of minutes.

She felt something similar to… no, even more than when she faced the boss of an S-rank gate.

Irina clenched and unclenched her fist, which was still numb from clenching it too tightly, and finished her thoughts.

“An interesting guy.”

“… I see.”

Yeon-daepyo slumped down in her office chair as if that answer was enough.

Yeon-daepyo was the most exhausted from dealing with Han Suhyeon.

“You can go now-“

“About Han Suhyeon.”

“…? Uh. Why?”

Yeon-daepyo involuntarily straightened up and sat properly in her chair.

Irina usually didn’t pay attention to most people.

She had evaluated Han Suhyeon as an interesting guy, but she didn’t expect her to ask a question about him right away.

Irina asked Yeon-daepyo, who had straightened her posture again.

“He’s not affiliated with Yeonseong yet, right?”

“Huh…? He’s not. And he probably won’t be in the future?”

“Why?”

“Han Suhyeon himself doesn’t seem to want to join Yeonseong… And since that b*tch Yeom Haneul did something, he’s sticking with the Flame of Upheaval… In the future, it seems like it will be a business relationship in terms of monster collection.”

“Then the Flame of Upheaval is the problem?”

“…… Huh? Ah, no. Hey. What are you trying to do again.”

Yeon-daepyo looked at Irina, who was smiling strangely, with an anxious expression.

Throughout her life, Irina had obtained everything she had ever wanted.

Sometimes, what she wanted came rolling in on its own, and sometimes she obtained it through her own efforts.

But in most cases, what Irina wanted was owned by someone else, so Irina often stole what others cherished.

A so-called specialist in theft (NTR).

It was the first time in her life that she felt like she wanted a man, but Irina could feel that she was strangely excited right now.

And above all.

Now, look at the camera and tell me your name and age.

She had a feeling that Han Suhyeon and she would get along strangely well.

The midday sun hit the window at a perfect angle, relentlessly stabbing my eyes.

“Ugh…”

I squinted my eyes at the stinging sunlight and looked around.

I was lying in bed right now.

It seems like I’m naked, since my skin is in direct contact with the bed and blanket.

And there was a throbbing muscle pain all over my body.

This is because I had intense maintenance with Cutie♡Angel for three days and nights.

The need for mana muscles becomes urgent…

Besides, my right arm, which I stretched out to the side, was strangely numb.

As if someone had been pillowed on my arm for a long time.

When I turned my gaze to the right, there was the appearance of her, with golden hair and fair skin, whom I had drawn so many times in my blurry nightmares-

Startled, I got up, and the appearance of her that I had seen a moment ago disappeared without a trace, and only Cutie♡Angel, who had gained 33kg after resting for the past three days, was lying there.

… It was a dream again.

I gently swept up my bangs.

This hasn’t happened recently, so why again…

Woowoong?

Cutie Angel turned her blade towards me, perhaps because she woke up from the commotion.

“No. No. Let’s sleep more. Come here.”

I lay back down in bed and hugged Cutie♡Angel.

A full-grown adult man hugging a greatsword much larger than his height, but so what.

Anyway, it’s just me and Cutie♡Angel in our house.

Cutie♡Angel snuggled up to me, woonging.

Sometimes, just the two of us like this was nice, reminding me of the old days.

I was thinking of lying down with Cutie♡Angel for a while and reminiscing about old memories, but a faint smell of blood began to rise from somewhere.

“Ah. Again… I’m sorry, Cutie♡Angel. See you later?”

Woowoong!

Cutie♡Angel answered vigorously and popped back into the inventory.

She seemed to have calmed down and felt better, probably because she was quite satisfied with the three days and nights of devoted maintenance.

The A-rank artifact whetstone imbued with [Sharpen] and the A-rank maintenance tool, Flare Dragon’s leather, that I extorted from Yeon-daepyo were also a great help.

If it weren’t for these two, it would have taken another day.

But even though I got the equipment, Cutie♡Angel actually sought my hand the most.

Cutie♡Angel didn’t want tremendous maintenance tools.

Cutie♡Angel just liked that brief maintenance time when she was in direct contact with me.

Kuh… I’ll treat you better in the future, Cutie♡Angel!

… I wiped away the bloodstains that had stuck to the floor while thinking idle thoughts.

It was a bloodstain created in the process of slightly? caressing the captured tailers when I sent the threatening video to Yeonseong Guild.

The problem was that this bloodstain had been stagnant for so long that the smell no longer came out.

This room also has a lot of memories, but it seems like it’s time to let it go.

Because of this, I was thinking of letting go of this old house and finding a larger studio or two-room apartment to move into.

I had earned quite a bit of money these past few days, so I didn’t have to worry about the monthly rent or deposit.

I sold the monsters I caught in the E-rank gate to Manager Jang for almost the price of C-rank monsters, literally copying money.

Even after distributing the profits with Jo Hyeonchan and Park Hyena, it was a considerable amount, so they were also surprised.

The income from iTube was also considerable.

No, in terms of profit alone, iTube was bigger, since the only person to distribute to was Yu Ayeon.

Speaking of iTube, I remembered Yu Ayeon.

I’ve been busy these days, so I haven’t been able to contact her for over a week, I wonder if she’s doing well?

I have to give her the ring I got from the association, and Yu Ayeon said she lives alone, so she probably knows more about monthly rent or houses than I do, so I want to meet her once to have a conversation.

‘No, why don’t I just call her now?’

Yu Ayeon is currently unemployed after being fired from the company… No.

Since she’s my iTube cameraman, she probably won’t be doing anything in particular at this time.

I turned on my cell phone for the first time in a while to call Yu Ayeon.

After a brief ringing tone, Yu Ayeon’s voice flowed into my ear.

“Haa… Hng… Su, Suhyeon-ssi…?”

Hearing Yu Ayeon’s strangely languid and sticky voice for the first time in a while, assaulted my ears.

Goosebumps rose all over my body for a moment, and I took the phone away from my ear and threw it on the bed.

‘Wh-What was that just now?’

The feeling of goosebumps all over my body and my body heating up instantly.

Cutie♡Angel, attached to my lower body, also got hard in an instant due to the sudden stimulation.

I calmed my mind for a moment and went up to the bed and picked up Yu Ayeon’s phone.

“… Suhyeon-ssi…? Was there… something… Hng…?”

“Ah, Ah, no. Nothing happened.”

“… Yes… Theeen…! Hauk…! Wh-Why… d-did you… ca-call…?”

In addition to Yu Ayeon’s slightly small and slow, timid way of speaking, a small moan was mixed in, and it felt like something moist and warm was wrapping around my ear.

Besides Yu Ayeon’s voice, I could hear a strange water sound and a creaking sound very faintly.

‘Don’t tell me… she was jacking off while answering the phone…?’

I carefully folded the thought that came to mind for a moment and threw it into the trash can deep in my heart.

Hey, no way…

There’s no way…
