Chapter 61

EP.61 Sehwa’s Dilemma

“You’re here? What’s wrong with your right shoulder? You look uncomfortable.”

The doctor’s puzzled question.

I awkwardly smiled and scratched the back of my head.

“I just bumped into something. I need to use the medical device. I think I have a bruise.”

“Got it.”

“How about Yuria?”

“She’s panicking and staying at the hotel. After hearing about Aiter’s characteristics… she tried to pressure me into explaining.”

Sehwa looked at my face.

She had the expression of someone who would explain it herself.

It seemed like she would rush to the hotel as soon as she got permission.

“Go ahead.”

“Okay. I’ll handle it well and come back.”

“Before that, go use the medical device.”

She has a bruise on her butt from the handspanking.

Even though I didn’t hit her that hard, her skin is delicate, so it happened.

She also needed treatment for the abrasions on her wrists and ankles.

Sehwa, looking embarrassed, bowed her head, received treatment in the medical device, and left the lab.

The doctor, watching her back, chuckled.

“Still, it’s a relief that Sehwa is close to Yuria. But where did Sehwa get hurt? Why did she go into the medical device?”

“It’s just the daily health check. But you’re wearing glasses today? Were you developing some equipment?”

“No. I was just trying them on. I got a new pair.”

Indeed, the design of the glasses had changed.

From rimless glasses to narrow, black horn-rimmed glasses.

There’s a part that hides her beauty, but it still suits her well.

“You look pretty.”

The doctor grimaced at that.

She made a gagging gesture and scolded me.

“Can you stop with the sweet talk? What’s wrong with you lately? Have you finally gone crazy?”

“No, I was just being honest. If I said you were ugly, you’d hit me.”

“That’s true… but, oh, I don’t know. Let’s design a weapon for Yuria together.”

I nodded and went to the desk where the doctor was sitting.

On the monitor, there was already a basic design for a bow and quiver.

That’s right, Yuria should use a bow.

“A bow?”

“She’s confident in archery… I saw her once when you weren’t here, and she was amazing. So I thought of making her a familiar weapon.”

“What about the arrows?”

“That’s the problem. Using polymerus for arrows is too wasteful… but using other materials seems too weak… I wish Yuria could create magical arrows, but since she can’t, I’m stuck.”

I’ll help. There’s a perfect material.

“How about nanotubes? If we arrange them right, they’ll be strong and sharp. They’re also lightweight.”

The doctor’s face lit up.

“That’s a good idea! Why didn’t I think of that? If we arrange them right, they’ll have enough power as arrows. The cost is an issue, but… with the amount you’re sponsoring, we can make plenty.”

Later, when you think of it, it’s thrilling to steal the credit.

“We could also incorporate the energy emitted by the Beast Slayer.”

“Isn’t that too speculative?”

“It’s not strange. Leona’s sword doubles in size when energy is infused.”

“That’s true. Our Song… you’re smart, huh?”

I chuckled at the doctor’s praise and asked,

“We need to decide on Yuria’s activity name…”

“I already asked, and she said just Yuria.”

That’s right. Yeah, that’s how it should be.

“Too bad…”

“Too bad? It’s a relief we didn’t get a weird nickname like Leona.”

“What’s wrong with Leona? You’re so uptight.”

“Anyway, since she’s using her real name, if Yuria becomes as famous as Leona, her daily life might be disrupted. We need to prevent that thoroughly.”

“Okay. Let’s work together. How about… your cheek?”

I looked at the doctor, and she subtly averted her gaze.

Did she remember our past skin contact? Why? Should I touch her thigh again?

“It’s fine since I treated it… but didn’t you say you were going to use the medical device? Aren’t you going to?”

Look at her changing the subject? I’ll let it slide for now.

“Oh, right.”

I awkwardly laughed and went into the medical room to treat the wound Sehwa had bitten.

When I came out, the doctor was writing various formulas on the whiteboard.

They were formulas about nanotube arrangements.

Work hard. I’ll rest well.

“I’ll head out now.”

“Okay, rest.”

**

In front of the hotel where Yuria is staying.

“Pfft…!”

I was looking at my phone and spat out the coffee I was drinking.

Yoo Seunghyun had brought out an onahole in broad daylight after seeing Sehwa and my twinkle.

Well, the video we shot yesterday was pretty hot.

But to bring what Sehwa left in the hotel room to his own place and reuse it…

You get a good salary now, right? Buy a new one.

Throw away those shabby clothes and pay some attention to fashion.

How else will Yuria approach you?

I put my phone in my pocket and wiped the coffee off my shirt when Sehwa came running out of the main gate and clung to me.

“Jihyuk! I’m done… what? You spilled coffee?”

“Yeah.”

“Why?”

“Why? I made a mistake while drinking, so I spilled it. What did Yuria say?”

Sehwa’s face turned red.

From the looks of it, she must have talked about Aiter and our sex life.

Yuria must have believed it since it came from Sehwa, whom she trusts the most.

“The conversation went well… she asked if it was okay to be more than just someone she likes, so I said yes…”

“And then?”

“Later… I’ll tell you later…”

“Tell me now.”

“…Why are you so interested in Yuria unnie?”

From her expression, jealousy was starting to creep in.

I answered in a calm tone.

“Now that she’s our colleague, I have to care.”

“…..”

“Right?”

“Yeah… she said she’d handle it herself. But I don’t know how she plans to do it.”

Handle it herself? Yuria only likes two people right now.

One is Kim Taegon, and the other is Sehwa.

Aiter doesn’t require sexual acts with someone of the opposite sex she likes, but with a ‘person.’

Meaning, even lesbian play can charge it.

Kim Taegon thinks of her as a father, so that’s problematic, leaving Sehwa… maybe try scissoring?

Wait… this is good. If we use Kim Taegon for tactics, and Sehwa’s actions also charge the device, we could enjoy a 2:1 play with Song Jihyuk’s appearance.

Yuria, being dominated by Yoo Seunghyun, getting penetrated by Kim Taegon, and also giving her heart to Song Jihyuk.

The promiscuous sex life of a fallen princess… oh, now’s not the time.

First, we need to clean up and focus on Sehwa.

‘Sehwa first…’

Yuria’s tactics come after.

My plan for cleanup was to completely cut off contact with Yuria for a while.

I’ll make it seem like something happened to Kim Taegon to make Yuria worry, and after gauging her reaction, I’ll contact her and fabricate that I had various dreams.

By then, most of Sehwa’s Aiter erosion will be done.

“She’ll handle it herself…? No answer yet. But did she believe in Aiter?”

“Yeah. She said something like, ‘Is there really such a ridiculous power?'”

“That’s understandable. I was really surprised too. Then… she’ll need time to adjust, so let’s not disturb her for now.”

“Okay. But Jihyuk, I’m hungry…”

“What do you want to eat?”

“Hmm… there’s a good omurice place nearby. Or should we have the pork cutlet you like? There’s a Japanese place right over there.”

I put my arm around Sehwa’s shoulder.

“Pork cutlet sounds good. Let’s go with that.”

“Okay.”

**

Click! Whirr!

The device emitted a faint purple light.

Rubbing my eyes, I stretched in joy.

It’s done. The suit that the fallen Leona will wear.

Now only the weapon is left… I was thinking of collecting polymerus to make a scythe.

Not just any scythe, but a massive Death Scythe that evokes primal fear.

Thinking of Leona, the grim reaper, coldly beheading humans, I got excited.

Knock knock!

A cautious knock on the door. It was Sehwa.

I turned off the device screen and said,

“Come in.”

Sehwa opened the door, beaming, and stared at me.

From the way she kept licking her lips, she wanted to come close and touch my whole body, but she was holding back since I was working.

“Why?”

“Just… bored… are you not done yet?”

“I’m done. Come here.”

At my command, Sehwa quickly ran over, jumped slightly, and placed her butt on my lap.

While sitting on my lap, she bumped the desk, making a clattering sound.

Such a child. I gently rubbed her cheek.

Sehwa, who had closed her eyes and was feeling my touch, asked,

“Are you tired from working…?”

“Not this again. I’m not tired. I like being busy every day.”

“Hehe…”

I leaned down and licked Sehwa’s lips, making her blush.

I picked her up and went to the sofa, laid her down, and turned off the lights.

Then Sehwa snuggled into my arms.

“Are you sleeping here tonight?”

“It’s cool and nice. Not just the AC breeze, but also the natural… what’s it called… energy.”

Stumbling over my words, Sehwa giggled.

She stared at my face with affectionate eyes.

Even though the lights were off and it was dark, I could feel her gaze.

Love has fully matured. It feels rewarding after all the effort.

Now we need to cause a big incident, but before that, I need to do some groundwork with Yoo Seung-hyun.

Sehwa, turn your eyes away, Seunghyun.

“Sehwa.”

“Yeah?”

“Tomorrow, I’ll be late because of work, so meet Yoo Seunghyun.”

“Why? Are you going to… jerk him off again?”

“No.”

“Then?”

“Just hang out like a normal couple. Eat, watch a movie, take sticker photos… if there’s a nice view, go sightseeing.”

Sehwa looked puzzled.

Suddenly bringing this up must be confusing.

“Why should I do that?”

“You haven’t made up with Yoo Seunghyun and barely see him. Even when you meet, it’s brief… and the jerking off ends quickly. Have some fun. I’ll allow holding hands or hugging.”

“No. I’ll just get annoyed again.”

“Just try meeting him. Yoo Seunghyun has properly reflected. Would he really do something stupid again?”

“Hmm… maybe?”

“That’s right. If the mood gets good, you can… take a step back if you want.”

Sehwa shivered.

Looking at her excited, I chuckled and continued.

“Think of him as a childhood friend you’ve been close to since you were young. Got it?”

“…Okay. How long?”

“As long as possible. It’s fine if you come back late.”

“As long as possible? What did I do wrong to deserve this?”

“I’m telling you to meet your boyfriend, and you’re acting like you’re being tortured?”

“Still…”

“Sometimes you need a refresh. Even if you think it’ll be boring now, it might be different when you meet? You might enjoy it, remembering old times.”

My words seemed convincing, as Sehwa nodded.
