The S-Class Gate (2)

Thanks to Miho, who had become much more lenient about public displays of affection after our night stroll, Rania had been braced for the inevitable—expecting her breasts to be handled without mercy. However,

“T-this, no matter how I look at it, this isn’t right! Haaah….”

Rania bolted upright, her face flushing as she stared at the handprints left on her fair, pale breasts. She quickly scrambled to pull her clothes back on.

It was… a little disappointing, to say the least, but even this was already crossing a line. Once the first time is broken, the second time is always easier. Now that her breasts had been thoroughly fondled, her boundaries would surely be a little more flexible.

This was a disposable skill I’d purchased and added to the shop on top of the Awakening Stimulus. I wasn’t entirely sure what the exact effects would be, but one thing was certain: it would surely trick her into believing she’d grown stronger because I’d touched her breasts. It was a significant expenditure, but there was a reason I was spending so much.

Just like Miho, she was a highly superior specimen. I didn’t know what the criteria were yet, but Rania was perfect in every way.

‘What, what is happening to me…?’

After boldly stripping and ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠exposing her breasts—something that shocked even herself—Rania ate her meal feeling awkward, her breasts still tingling from being handled. Then came the first battle after the break.

She moved as she always did, yet she felt an unnaturally good condition. Slash!

“Uh…?”

Rania, who had always stuck to a hit-and-run fighting style, experienced for the first time in her life—even in a gate higher than her own level—the sensation of a monster being sliced through in a single stroke.

Because of the fierce competition between Carlson and Miho, which had escalated to the point of a pride battle, Rania’s sudden surge in strength didn’t draw much attention. But as someone who trained with her sword every single day, Rania couldn’t simply accept her changed state as a positive thing. She felt as if she had been temporarily empowered by something, as if she’d been buffed.

‘Don’t tell me… is it Doyen…?’

And the man she suspected was the cause of her sudden strength was the Ho-jok—no, the human male Kim Doyen, who was perfectly disguised as a Ho-jok. The battle had been so effortless that she couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Is this right?’ She kept a wary eye on her surroundings. After the battle, when her strength rapidly waned, she became certain. Ever since that human man had touched her body, she had become stronger, and the relationship between the suddenly powerful Miho and Kim Doyen didn’t look normal at all.

Clearing an S-class gate takes a week. ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠Because of that, we took a fairly long break once a day. Inside the brightly glowing ice ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠cave, it was impossible to tell if it was night, but a time for quiet, tacit rest had arrived.

Rania had already registered her magical fingerprint on Miho’s private tent, so she was able to enter without issue.

“Um… may I come in?”

“……Uh, hold on a second.”

It was Kim Doyen’s voice. Since it was an expensive tent equipped with internal expansion magic, there was plenty of space even if two people used it, and knowing they were already living in the same space, Rania waited without much thought.

“Come in now.”

As she stepped inside the tent, a sweltering heat washed over her.

‘Huh…? This isn’t the heat from a heater… it’s something stickier, a more mysterious scent…’

As someone without experience, Rania didn’t know that this scent was the byproduct of a man and woman’s intimacy.

“You’re… sweating?”

“I was working out with Miho.”

In the corner of the tent, Miho lay shivering intermittently, completely unnoticed by Rania.

‘Such a pleasant fragrance…’

It was because the scent coming from Kim Doyen right in front of her had become even more intense.

“Thank you so much for the bracelet. Thanks to it, I fought comfortably today!”

“You don’t have to return it, just keep it.”

His refusal to take it back made Rania’s resolve crumble even further.

“So, what are you here for? Just to thank me?”

“That too, but… actually, I want to become strong like Miho.”

“Ah, hmm….”

He wore a troubled expression. She didn’t want to make things difficult for someone who had helped her in so many ways, but Rania was desperate. To achieve her dream.

“I’ll do anything… can’t you help me…?”

Hearing the words “anything,” Kim Doyen curled his lips upward.

“Anything?”

“Yes. You can even… touch my breasts….”

“Hmm… that’s not enough.”

Kim Doyen said that, tapping his own lips.

“…I’ll tell you one thing, you have to allow at least this much for me to make you stronger.”

Lips? If he meant lips… did he mean a kiss?

She briefly suspected that he might just be a con artist human after her body, but it was clear that he possessed an incredible ability, enough to elevate an S-class hunter to a level comparable to an SSS-class hunter in a short time. In truth, Rania, who didn’t realize that 90% of his true intentions were her body, nodded.

“I-if it’s just that much… it’s okay.”

“You gave me permission, right?”

“Yes? Ah, hup…!”

…!!

Lips met lips. Her heart hammered as if it were broken. As his warm hand stroked her back from top to bottom, considerate of her stiffened body, the reality that she was kissing a man began to sink in.

“Haaah….”

His tongue, entering through her slightly parted lips, brushed softly against her teeth. The ticklish, subtle sensation clouded her mind.

“Ha, h-h, uuu….”

Her body went limp as his hand gently pressed against the nape of her neck, melting her resolve. Tongues intertwined, and his hot breath invaded her mouth.

Kissing… could just a kiss feel this good?

Kim Doyen’s hand traveled up her lower abdomen and slipped inside her bra. She felt the sensation of his massive hand gripping her breast greedily. His fingers pinched her nipple, inducing a subtle pleasure. But Rania had no intention of refusing; she began to crave the kiss she was sharing with him more and more.

One hour of rolling around in the tent, overlapping bodies and just kissing.

Finally, I broke through the 3% and succeeded in the awakening stimulus. ‘1%? That’s not it.’ I chose the sword-related ability for Rania, who dreamed of becoming the world’s greatest female swordsman.

As I pulled my lips away, Rania’s tongue followed, slipping out. “Uh…?” A string of saliva, trailing from the tip of her tongue, snapped in the air. “Now you know how sincere I am.”

“Ah… yes.”

She had a dazed expression. …To the point where I felt like if I stripped her and mounted her right now, she’d let me. But everything has its order.

“If you really want to become strong, check this and sign it.”

The contents I’d written in the contract were simple. This contract is based on the condition that the Elf Rania (hereinafter ‘the other party’) does not inflict harm upon the human Kim Doyen (hereinafter ‘the contract owner’), with the purpose of the contract owner bestowing power upon the other party.

1. The other party shall not cause direct or indirect harm to the contract owner.

2. The other party shall not disclose the contract owner’s abilities.

3. The contract owner shall assist the other party in obtaining a unique ability or skill of at least SS-class or higher. (Hereinafter ‘Awakening’)

4. The other party cannot refuse when the contract owner desires an Awakening.

5. This contract cannot be terminated without the contract owner’s permission.

“Yes? Ah, um….”

Blink, blink. Rania, having regained her senses, looked back and forth between the contract and me. “This… you didn’t write this wrong, did you…?”

“Don’t want to? If you don’t, forget it.”

“Ah, no!”

From Rania’s perspective, it must have looked like nothing but favorable conditions. If she saw the true essence of my ability, it would be no different from a so-called sex contract, but it remained a good deal nonetheless. But I had already made up my mind. I would definitely have passionate, loving sex with this incredibly hot elf.

“By any chance, did Miho also sign something like this?”

“Miho… she did something similar.”

A slave contract with better performance and a higher price. For reference, Miho had woken up in the middle, secretly watching me and Rania engrossed in our kiss with a sly smile before falling back asleep. Since Miho would be entering fierce battles tomorrow, I had no intention of waking her up to finish the sex we’d interrupted.

Seeing Rania cautiously sign the contract, I pulled my cock out.

“You signed here… Hiiik! W-why, suddenly…!”

“4. The other party cannot refuse when the contract owner desires an Awakening.”

“Th-that, what does that…”

“For your information, my ability increases the probability of awakening an SSS-class ability if you consume my semen. Whether it’s the upper mouth or the lower mouth.”

In times like this, it’s better to be bold. It was true that the probability of an SSS-class awakening increased if semen was ingested. I rubbed my cock, which had been left frustrated after stopping our sex earlier and was now even more aroused from the kissing, and said,

“I have no intention of forcing you. But are you going to back out now? If you do, well… you’ll just stop at an A-class. If you’re lucky, maybe an S-class.”

“Can I… can I really awaken an SSS-class ability?”

Without further ado, I pointed my finger at Miho, who was lying spread-eagled. “Miho is the proof.”

Rania, already softened by the kiss, hesitated for a long time before hardening her resolve and approaching me.
