"Goodbye."
"Have a good night, Neria."
This was probably the first time I'd ever seen Nam Dowon off at such a late hour.
It was already full-on night at 7 p.m.
I escorted him all the way to the entrance and only closed the door after watching him step into the elevator.
The chilly late autumn air seeped in through the crack in the door, mingling softly with my footsteps.
He'd looked so awkward, probably because it was the first time he'd been seen off with such care.
Separate from my quip about how well I'd treated him all this time—this really was the first time I'd seen him off so diligently.
And there was one special reason for it.
"Hmmm..."
I'd deliberately made my footsteps audible just moments ago, but now I hushed them and headed back to the entrance.
There was no need to pretend I was heading to the bedroom anymore.
As I passed by, the intercom showed no sign of anyone there.
Phase one: cleared.
Then, tiptoeing like a cat full of mischief, I pressed my ear firmly against the door.
No sign of anyone here either.
Phase two: cleared.
Only after confirming Nam Dowon had definitely left did I finally trot back to the bedroom.
"...Oh, right. Hold on..."
I didn't want to go through that embarrassment from before again.
I tossed the training pants I was wearing onto the living room sofa.
And threw my panties into the laundry basket.
"Hum hum hum..."
I let out a short hum, feeling oddly good for some reason, and sprawled out on the bed completely naked from the waist down.
Of course, the jersey I had on was pretty loose-fitting, so when standing, I could easily cover myself with the hem.
With a bit of exaggeration, it even felt like a miniskirt.
But that didn't apply when lying down like this.
Any slight movement and everything down there was fully exposed.
And this was the 'special reason' I'd mentioned earlier.
"......"
...How dare a lowly human tell me to shut up and obediently spread my... pussy.
And to top it off, calling a genius apprentice witch like me a dumb bitch with that ridiculous nonsense.
I glanced at the novel line I could see right there on my smartphone screen.
My cheeks burned hot as I looked at it, and especially since it seemed like Master liked stuff like this...!
But if I actually tried it, wouldn't it feel really good?
Steeling myself, I recalled Nam Dowon's voice and carefully rubbed my fingertip against my bud.
"...Hm?"
Unfortunately, there was no unexpected thrill or anything like that.
Far from feeling better, it was more like I had no idea what I was even doing.
I'd closed my eyes tight, picturing him as I rubbed, but I didn't feel even 1mg of excitement.
Of course, since I was touching my clit, there was at least minimal stimulation, but that wasn't what I'd been hoping for in this experiment...
...What the hell is this.
It was a completely misguided approach, just as I'd half-expected... but before giving up entirely, wait.
The view count still sparkling on my smartphone screen was the problem.
When you don't know much about something, these kinds of metrics are the most intuitive way to check.
I turned my head slightly to check the erotic novel's views again, and they were impressively high.
The reason I'd studied sex with this particular erotic novel was precisely because of that view count.
So doesn't that mean a lot of women like this kind of thing...?
Plus, Master kept saying stuff around Nam Dowon like 'a woman who listens well' and so on.
"...But I don't really like it at all."
It might be popular taste, but I still prefer a gentle guy.
Sex too—even though I haven't tried rough sex yet—the gentle sex with Nam Dowon yesterday felt plenty good.
What's the point of getting insulted by a guy and fucked like that...?
"......"
...Still, maybe it's because he recited the lines so stiffly and boringly, like reading from a textbook...
If he'd had a voice dripping with lust, like he wanted to do it right then and there like in the novel, it might've been different...
I let out a pouty sigh and dropped my hand.
"What a waste of time..."
This was the hand that would usually end up slick with fluids after masturbating.
But today, it was bone-dry, feeling nothing at all.
Thanks to that, the two towels I'd prepared were pointless.
If I'd known, I'd have just brought one to lay under my hips.
I grumbled as I folded the towels and tossed them onto the computer chair next to me.
I'd use them in the shower tomorrow before Nam Dowon came over.
"Sigh."
"Feeling good" and "feeling bad" are complete opposites.
Liking this kind of humiliation—only total perverts would enjoy that.
Literal creepy arch-perverts like Master.
I really hate that stuff.
I clicked my tongue briefly and headed to the drawer for fresh panties.
[Eve Lycaon]
- Have you finished your work?
It had been a full three hours since I'd started hoping for a message like that.
Unfortunately, no message had arrived from Team Leader even as the night grew late.
Of course, I'd anticipated it might take time to mentally prepare, maybe even a while—but actually waiting made it disappointing all the same.
With some know-how from dealing with Neria now, someone like Team Leader with the 'will to do it' should've been way easier to handle than Neria throwing a tantrum about not wanting to.
...Still, it won't take too long, right? After my shower, I was padding around the kitchen in just panties, towel-drying my wet hair.
I uncapped the 2L bottle of mineral water from the fridge and took a swig.
"Have you finished your work?"
"...Kuh, cough! Cough...!"
Team Leader's voice came out of nowhere right beside me, startling me so bad I choked and spat the water straight ahead.
...Which left the sleek fridge door and the floor in front of it soaked.
"Oh, sorry... Was the timing bad...?"
"No, it's fine, Team Leader."
"Really?"
Did this woman seriously use that teleportation spell she bragged about to get here in one leap?
I wiped my mouth and glanced over—there she stood, not in her usual office attire, but in casual clothes perfect for a quick neighborhood stroll.
A comfy white tank top, a baggy hoodie that covered half her hands.
And gray dolphin shorts with a short hem to boot.
It was straight out of Neria's default unemployed slob wardrobe.
With her long hair tied back in a ponytail, she looked like a completely different person.
"Quitting time was later than I expected. I thought you'd come earlier."
"It ran late today. Usually much quicker."
"You weren't here when I figured 5 or 6... Guess coming late worked out. Looks like you just got off and showered?"
"Yes. That's right."
So basically, she broke in without a word?
Logically speaking, yeah—but since it was Team Leader, I let it slide.
Not because of any power play, just... pretty people can get away with that.
"......"
"......"
So I stood there politely without a word, but for some reason Team Leader was just crossing her arms and gauging my reaction.
The reason she was dragging her feet was obvious, so maybe I should take the lead this time for her sake.
She didn't have experience yet, after all.
How's she supposed to say she came over for me to bite and lick her breasts?
"Team Leader, did you come at this hour because..."
"...Oh, yeah, that. I have something to say to you, Dowon."
"Aha."
Once I opened the door for her, she finally seemed ready.
I stood straight with my hands clasped politely in front of her as she cleared her throat—even if I looked ridiculous fresh out of the shower, showing I was all ears would score points.
Maybe today wouldn't just be enjoying her breasts... maybe I'd even have sex with Team Leader.
"About that promise earlier today to let you touch my breasts—could we postpone it?"
"......?"
...Or not.
The unexpected news hit me right as I was drinking the kimchi soup.
"...Erzel happened to notice..."
"......"
"She asked why I was suddenly asking about womb sex out of nowhere, then nailed exactly what happened with you like some fortune teller... How did she even...? Was I that obvious...?"
"......"
"Then she calmly grilled me about what I'd do if you two ended up reeking of beasts and tangled up, leaving Neria on the back burner..."
It made total sense.
And it was so like Erzel, caring for her apprentice.
That came next.
"I think it'd be better to do it after you've fully rehabilitated Neria..."
"I see..."
"...No helping it. It's a client's complaint."
I'd follow the Witch Lady's word, but honestly, I didn't get it.
If the handler collapsed from ejaculating buckets every 24 hours, sure—but if he could go multiple times a day, what's the issue?
Besides, hadn't Erzel herself said eating pussy was a delicacy too...?
As the obvious question lingered, Team Leader followed up belatedly.
"You're thinking now, 'Can't I just alternate fucking me and Neria?' right?"
"......Sorry."
"No need. Nothing to apologize for. It's your job. Witch-fucking."
"......"
"But Erzel wants you to 'pour it all' into Neria. That's how she'll recover faster."
Basically, if you can do plenty, creampie Neria like you're dead set on impregnating her.
Team Leader conveyed Erzel's intent with a wry smile, averting her eyes.
"......"
But what Erzel had said last time was still a mystery.
I'd taken it as a go-ahead to do all sorts of naughty things with Team Leader too, but now she was putting a stop to it.
...Maybe Team Leader misunderstood when relaying it?
Or there was some hidden meaning in Erzel's orders.
I pondered briefly, but no answers came.
And in this ambiguous situation.
"...But in exchange, Dowon?"
"Yes, Team Leader."
"I'll send something to your email later..."
"Email...? Oh, is it work I need to do?"
"Uh... work? Kinda half and half...?"
"......?"
Team Leader Eve said.
"Those erotic novels you saw earlier—I'll send them all. Read them when you have time."
"......"
"...It's an anonymous witch's first experience wish list."
"......"
