Chapter 32

EP.32 Sehwa, Today I Lost

The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was the light from a white lamp.

Why was I lying here?

Ah, right. I was hit by Parax, who was controlled by Amon, and was on the verge of death.

I slowly raised my hand and touched my stomach—it was fine.

As expected, the doctor’s medical device is top-notch.

But since it’s inferior to Marcella’s, I’ll have to check my insides when I get back.

“Ugh…!”

My body was stiff from not moving for so long.

As I barely managed to sit up, Sehwa, who had been sleeping in the corner, suddenly woke up and rushed over.

“Ji… Jihyuk!”

Sehwa hugged me tightly and burst into tears.

Seeing her like that, I felt a rising desire to… well, you know.

What would it feel like to explore Sehwa’s inner self while she’s crying like this?

I’ll have to make her cry later.

“The monster… that monster…?”

“Sniff…! I killed it… I did…”

“Good job… you worked hard.”

As I patted Sehwa’s back, I glanced at the calendar—two days had passed.

What, I only slept for two days? I thought it’d been a week.

Not long after, Dr. Cash entered the room.

“Song, you’re awake. How’s your body?”

“Just… a bit stiff…”

“That’s from lying down for two days. You’ll adjust soon. I’ve restored all your organs, but if you feel uncomfortable, rest at home. You’re lucky. I thought you were dead. The monster’s attack was so clean that it ironically saved you.”

“So the monster killed me and then brought me back to life?”

At my playful tone, the doctor smiled.

“Something like that. And after you lost consciousness, the Gate appeared twice more. Once in Mexico the evening after the monster appeared in Daejeon, and then in China the next day.”

I know. I made that happen.

“Casualties?”

“Mexico was fine, but China was hit hard. The Device energy was depleted, so Sehwa couldn’t go. But I worked with their military to suppress it.”

“Good work.”

“You’re the one who did the hard work. Take this.”

The doctor handed me a paper over Sehwa’s head.

As I examined it closely, I inwardly cheered.

The Evil Energy Gauge level-based classification had become a standard guideline for the World Union.

It seems the doctor handled things while I was out.

The general table was as follows:

0~20%: F-rank, can be handled with conventional weapons

21~35%: E-rank, requires armored forces

36~50%: D-rank, requires futuristic weapons like anti-ship missiles

51~65%: C-rank, only Beast Slayers can handle these

66% and above: B-rank and higher

It seemed to be based on samples from Daejeon, Mexico, and China, and was more accurate than what I had prepared before.

Well, I had set some errors intentionally to avoid suspicion, so let’s move on…

There’s no A or S rank yet, but I’ll assign those as I release stronger enemies.

“The monsters in Mexico were F-rank. They were weaker than the previous ones, so they were suppressed quickly. The ones in China were D-rank, and there were so many that the Sichuan region was devastated. The Gate opens when the Evil Energy Gauge reaches a certain level, like in Daejeon two days ago.”

“So my theory was correct.”

“Yes. It’s clear the monsters’ leader has organized a system. But we’ve also improved the Explorer, so we can handle them more systematically. And you… don’t even think about leaving here.”

I have no intention of leaving.

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“We can’t do it without you. You’re too capable and a huge help to me and Sehwa. You can’t leave here until all the monsters are gone.”

“…So I’m stuck here. Not that I ever planned to leave anyway.”

At my words, the doctor smiled happily.

Wow, she looks pretty when she smiles like that. My desire to conquer her is rising.

I wonder if I could break her even with her husband’s portrait in front of her.

As we talked, Sehwa, who had stopped crying, glared at the doctor.

“Jihyuk just woke up, and you’re already talking about work?”

“Sehwa, I was worried about Song too. But our job is to protect the world while helping you. Song needs to know this information quickly. Who knows when the Gate will open again?”

“That’s true, but… you could’ve waited a bit…”

The doctor looked at Sehwa with pity.

Sehwa subtly avoided her gaze.

“Sigh… Sehwa, do you like Song that much? Your sense of duty disappears when it comes to him.”

“……”

“I’ll take you home soon. Charge the Device as quickly as possible.”

“Ah, okay. So…”

“Be quiet? Song knows about Aiter now, so what does it matter? Right?”

The doctor looked at me.

Her eyes seemed to threaten me to charge the Device.

I forced a bitter smile and nodded slightly in response.

**

Thud!

“Cough…!”

A short scream echoed through the base.

Marcella, whose neck I had grabbed, struggled.

“You’ve been acting up because I’ve been too lenient.”

“Sorry… sorry…”

Marcella shook her head violently.

Her eyes were filled with resentment.

I spoke.

“Five holes in your stomach… must’ve been painful. Did you conspire to kill me?”

“Ma… Majesty… that was… Amon…”

I slammed Marcella to the ground.

She coughed and gasped for air.

I looked at her with no trace of emotion and asked.

“So, do you think Amon plotted to kill me?”

“N-no, that’s not it…”

“Then it’s your doing.”

“No… no… Majesty, this was just a mistake due to miscommunication…”

I’ll give you one last chance.

You’re not doing this because you’re scared.

Sitting arrogantly on the throne, I noticed Marcella’s crotch was slightly wet.

Look at this… she came last time when I pulled her tail. Is she a bit of an M?

My initial aversion to Marcella has faded. Maybe I’ll try her as a snack.

“Come closer.”

At my command, Marcella quickly crawled over and bowed her head.

I slipped my foot between the floor and her face.

Marcella flinched, then carefully held my sole with both hands and kissed the top of my foot.

Hmm… I don’t feel any desire. I’ll save it for later.

“Marcella.”

“Yes…!”

“Give Yoo Seunghyun a vacation during the Korean university festival. Make sure he can clear a significant portion of his debt. I’ll leave the method to you.”

“Under… stood…”

“And send me all the information about everyone Yuria was involved with during her time in Erandel. Whether they were close or not, send everything. Got it?”

“Yes…”

In the past, she would’ve questioned me, but I like how she absolutely obeys me now.

A Demon King must be dignified.

“Ah… and Majesty. After Leona rescued you and placed you in a safe location, her gaze was fixed on the northwest… It was only for a moment, but I saw it. Definitely the northwest.”

“Northwest…”

Northwest would be near Mongolia.

So she revealed the location of Aiter, where the modified Device is sleeping.

Good. Very good.

Now, when Sehwa mentions it, I’ll head there, find Aiter, and gently coax Yuria.

**

That dawn,

Buzz! Buzz!

Sehwa’s phone kept ringing.

Sehwa, who had been sleeping with her face buried in my chest, woke up to the vibration and sighed deeply.

She checked her phone and suddenly frowned.

“Ah… so annoying…”

At that moment, I couldn’t help but tremble.

The phone rang because Yoo Seunghyun had sent a message.

Yet she’s annoyed? That’s something I couldn’t have imagined before.

I’m going crazy. I want to mess her up right now.

But I’ll hold back. I’ll pretend not to know for now.

“Why…? Who is it…?”

At my question, pretending to have just woken up, Sehwa switched her phone to silent mode and said.

“Seunghyun.”

Her tone was completely indifferent.

Unable to hold back any longer, I climbed on top of Sehwa, pinning her down.

Sehwa, whose waist was squeezed by my thighs, looked flustered but then smiled meaningfully.

She knew exactly what I was thinking.

After staring at me for a while, Sehwa spoke.

“I ignored Seunghyun’s messages for the two days you were asleep.”

“On purpose?”

“No, because I was worried about you.”

“You can reply now.”

“At 2 AM?”

“You’re awake now.”

“I’m not replying. It’s annoying and irritating. I’ll pretend to be asleep.”

Three decisive answers in a row.

She’s hitting all my preferences.

She even slipped her slender hand into my underwear.

Sehwa, who had been fondling my aroused manhood, twisted her body.

She’s desperate.

I chuckled lowly and moved away from Sehwa, lying down properly.

Sehwa then pressed her body against mine.

“Jihyuk… I want to.”

“You don’t seem that desperate.”

“I need to charge the Device quickly… What if more monsters appear?”

“Nice excuse. Hmm… wait a bit.”

I picked up my phone and turned on the laptop.

Then I took off my underwear and pointed at my penis.

“Grab it.”

Sehwa seemed to understand what I was planning and silently obeyed.

With one hand, she gripped the shaft, while her other hand gently stroked the tip.

Well, she pretended to stroke it.

As if telling me to hurry up and take the picture.

I took a photo of the scene and sent it to the laptop.

Then I opened Twinkle.

[0 Following, 18,343 Followers.]

The number of followers had nearly doubled.

With just three photos… if I post this one, it’ll go crazy.

I handed the laptop to Sehwa and smirked.

“Write it yourself. If it pleases me, I’ll satisfy you as much as you want.”

I told her to write the post herself.

Sehwa chewed her lower lip, thinking.

After a while, she seemed to make up her mind and typed.

[This is dinner. Big, right? I’m going to do it now.]

Then she looked at me as if asking how it was.

I closed my eyes and shook my head.

“Out.”

“……”

Sehwa’s expression turned slightly fierce.

She typed more forcefully on the laptop.

[Before dinner… I’m already wet.]

“How’s that?”

“Still not great.”

I could almost hear her grinding her teeth.

But this level won’t excite me.

As I thought that, Sehwa, who had been thinking for a while, typed a new title that made my eyes widen.

[Please… Master♡]

Sehwa raised one corner of her mouth as she saw my trembling body.

She seemed confident that I was satisfied, so she uploaded the photo and posted it.

Then she closed the laptop and looked relaxed.

This is quite… no, very satisfying.

A declaration of defeat escaped my lips.

“How should I do it?”

“Like we did a few days ago…”

Look at her suddenly getting shy.

How could I not love Sehwa after this?

I simply nodded and got up from the bed, pulling open the curtains.

Sehwa, who had already thrown off her underwear, came close to me and prepared to spread her legs.

She kept glancing at the window, as if hoping someone would watch.

Or maybe she was afraid someone would see.

Seeing the Device weakly beeping, she was definitely excited either way.

Sehwa leaned back against the window without holding onto it and stared straight at me.

She seemed to want to do it face-to-face.

Today, this Master will give you what you want.

And so, we spent the night exploring each other, confirming our love, and slept in late together.

To be continued―――――――――――――――――――――
