Academy Raid: The Arrogant Princess
"It's scary..."
"Me too..."
Park Hayul and I stopped in front of the door.
Both of us wearing tense expressions.
Creak—!
We opened the front gate and stepped inside.
The short distance from the gate to the entrance door—less than a minute's walk—felt endlessly long.
"Ugh..."
Park Hayul let out a groan of fear as she grabbed the doorknob.
"O-Oppa, you have to explain it well..."
She shoved the responsibility onto me and opened the door.
We took off our shoes and passed through the third door.
Opening the middle door revealed the sofa.
And sitting there with her arms crossed was Hana unnie.
I could see her back.
"Mom... we're home..."
Even as Park Hayul greeted her, Hana unnie didn't respond.
"..."
The house was silent.
"Come over here and sit."
Swish—!
At Hana unnie's words, we hurried over and sat down.
"Hoo..."
Hana unnie crossed her legs and sighed.
'She's lost her mind... why am I getting turned on at a time like this?'
Hana unnie was wearing loose shorts.
As she crossed her legs, I caught a glimpse inside through the gap in her baggy clothes.
'No panties...'
She was boldly going commando.
'It's her own house, so maybe she's just that carefree?'
Either way, it was a disaster for me.
'Calm down...'
I suppressed my arousal as best I could and avoided getting hard.
"M-Mom, I'm sorry!"
Park Hayul launched a preemptive strike with an apology.
"I got way too drunk, it was a mistake! It won't happen again!"
The situation where she'd spent the night with Mom's boyfriend.
For some reason, I had this baseless feeling that Hana unnie would understand.
"Fine, go to your room, sweetie."
"Okay!"
Thinking she'd escaped this terrifying situation, Park Hayul replied immediately and headed upstairs.
Now it was just me and Hana unnie.
Alone.
"Are you mad?"
At my question,
"No, I'm not mad."
Hana unnie answered calmly.
"I wasn't mad from the start."
If it were me in her shoes, I'd be furious no matter what.
Unnie was way too nonchalant.
"I've seen Hayul struggling every evening."
Hana unnie had noticed Park Hayul groaning every night.
"Looks like our family inherited a strong sex drive from Mom's side."
Seeing that Hana unnie wasn't angry, it must've been rough for Park Hayul.
Or maybe unnie was just that magnanimous.
Hana unnie slid over next to me, pressing her body close.
"I won't try to monopolize you all by myself."
"What do you mean?"
Anyone would have some possessiveness over their lover.
As I gave her a puzzled look,
"Of course I have possessiveness too. I want you all to myself sometimes."
"Then why?"
"You wouldn't be satisfied with just one, right?"
She knew about my ability, the Heavenly Phallus, so she said that.
"And I have some self-awareness."
With a bitter expression, Hana unnie continued.
"I'm a 35-year-old divorcee auntie. Meanwhile, you're 22, with a bright future ahead..."
Her voice grew quieter than usual, her self-esteem apparently lowered by the age gap.
"Sex buddies are enough for me."
She won't dump me, right?
Hana unnie looked up at me with teary eyes.
I saw through the acting, but...
'Damn, this is driving me crazy.'
Her looks, the situation, and her acting skills.
The combination was so potent that even knowing it was fake, I fell for it.
"Why would I ever dump you, unnie?"
I stroked her cheek.
Then her arms wrapped around my waist.
The mood heated up.
Our faces drew slowly closer.
Just before our lips met.
"Mom! I'm heading out—huh...?"
Park Hayul came down from upstairs.
Me and Hana unnie froze on the spot.
"Uh, um... glad you two made up?"
Park Hayul fled quickly to the middle door.
Her face full of panic.
And in that, I spotted a hint of jealousy.
'This could work out nicely...?'
I'd been trembling in fear of Hana unnie just moments ago.
But now I saw an opportunity and my mind shifted gears.
Grab—!
Hana unnie's hands suddenly cupped my cheeks.
She pulled my face toward hers with force.
Our breaths mingled at point-blank range.
Our noses were already touching.
Like ASMR, she whispered so softly only I could hear.
"Now that Hayul's gone, how about we go all out?"
What started like a horror movie.
Ended up turning into an erotic flick.

Before taking on the new request, I summoned my heroines.
I'd told them in advance we'd go on dates and then head to another dimension.
'This way, if I summon them in an emergency, they'll respond right away.'
We spent a few days dating, spending nights together.
I even went down to the countryside to visit my parents.
They lived a rural life, tending a small vegetable garden.
Thankfully, no village snobbery or anything—they were happily settled.
I ate home-cooked meals with my parents after so long, chatting and spending time.
I called my younger sibling to come down, but got completely ignored, so the whole family didn't gather.
After that precious time, I returned to my one-room apartment.
'Time to accept the request.'
And so, the third request began.
**
I was confident when accepting the request.
After all, I'd already perfectly? succeeded in the first two.
I had faith I'd complete the third one too, even with hardships.
'Fuck, I'm screwed.'
But the info flooding my mind shattered that confidence.
The setting was an academy.
The heroine I had to conquer was the imperial princess.
A princess wrapped up in pride.
'She looks impossible to approach at first glance!'
The protagonist was nobility too.
The youngest son of a duke family.
In short, to target the heroine, I might have to clash with the duke family.
And if there's a demon king, I'd have to deal with that too.
'A duke family...'
I didn't know much about ranks, but I knew dukes rivaled the king in power.
Even if my info was off, they'd have something similar.
And the protagonist and heroine were already dating.
Not a secret relationship—it was known throughout the academy.
'Compared to their insane statuses, mine is...'
A commoner.
I'd entered via the academy's special commoner quota.
Plus, my grades scraped the bottom every exam.
No way to make contact with the princess.
'If I try approaching, I'll get blocked for sure.'
I could picture it.
Me approaching the princess.
'A filthy commoner like you!'
They'd beat me or something.
"Hoo..."
A sigh escaped me.
'How do I unravel this?'
The princess liking shotas wasn't an issue.
It could even be a plus for me.
I could show her the masculinity a shota couldn't.
'Ahh... if only the commoner thing wasn't a problem.'
But with my knowledge, I couldn't figure out how to overcome class barriers.
'I'll observe the situation.'
Luckily, thanks to the commoner quota, I was in the same class as the princess and protagonist.
Couldn't approach directly, so I'd start a step back by gauging her tastes.
A few days passed like that.
'I'm fucked.'
A step back? Hell, even glancing at the princess got me death stares from her entourage of guards.
'Fucking dogs.'
Fellow students, but they looked down on me.
It'd been a while since I felt this pissed off.
Rattle—!
The front door opened as the instructor entered.
'My last hope!'
The assignment the instructor had announced.
"Alright~ As announced last time, we'll start the group assignments."
Groups of three to subjugate a designated monster.
I had to group with the princess here.
'There's a chance.'
The instructor had said grouping with low-grade students gives bonus points.
I'd exploit that.
Perfect for three-person teams—if the princess and protagonist teamed up, one spot left.
For her position, picking one guard would be tricky.
'She'll be cautious about rumors.'
That's my opening.
No negative thoughts like "what if it fails?"
'I'll make it happen!'
Go in with confidence.
Confidence is more attractive than hesitation.
So I filled myself with it and stepped toward the princess.
"Huh?"
A pathetic sound slipped out.
Couldn't help it.
The princess was right in front of me.
"Commoner, team up with me."
She looked down imperiously at me sitting there.
"Yes, understood."
Luck had come knocking.
**
In the academy's cafe.
Our noble princess had rented out the whole place.
In the quiet atmosphere, it was just me and the princess.
The protagonist had been asked to step out for a bit.
"I have no expectations from you."
She told me to stay quietly in the back during the monster hunt.
'That's why she sent him away?'
Didn't want her boyfriend hearing her say mean things.
'Tells me about the protagonist's personality too.'
Probably a goody-two-shoes.
If he were like her, she wouldn't have asked him to leave.
"Why aren't you answering quickly? Are you ignoring me?"
As I organized my thoughts, the prickly princess snapped.
'You'll be pinned under me later, fucked unconscious.'
Her guards stressing me out had made my thoughts rougher.
"Hoo... Understood."
"I don't like the sigh, but I'll let it slide."
An uneducated commoner, after all.
She kept up the sneering tone till the end.
'Haven't been this pissed at a girl in ages?'
Endure it. She's a woman I'll claim eventually.
If I think of her as mine, that attitude's just cute.
After making first contact, the group assignment day arrived.
Me, the princess Yvonah, and the protagonist Melt.
The three of us entered the forest.
