Chapter Title: What Kim Joo-hyuk Wants
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I gazed at Ariel, who had slumped to the ground with hazy eyes lost in the afterglow of pleasure, then checked my tablet.
The tablet screen immediately lit up with dozens of notifications all at once.
"What the hell?"
They were all messages from Im Ji-hye and Han Yu-ra.
'No wonder I thought it was weird that I hadn't heard from them during the raid. Looks like the inside of a portal is treated as a completely separate space from the tower.'
I opened Han Yu-ra's message first.
[Han Yu-ra: Joo-hyuk... I hope you're doing well. I'm truly sorry to contact you when you're so busy. This is incredibly shameless of me, but could you possibly help us out a little more?]
…(excerpt)...
[The orc raids are getting worse by the day. We can't hold out with our strength alone. It's embarrassing to say, but we desperately need your help. If you do, we'll repay this favor somehow, no matter what!]
Han Yu-ra's message dripped with desperation. Scrolling up, I could see her pride crumbling over time, her tone growing more polite and pleading with each one.
'Heh, perfect. Even faster than I expected.'
I opened Im Ji-hye's messages next.
[Im Ji-hye: Joo-hyuk! Here's my report as of now. Just as you ordered, we've taken out about 50 summoners wandering outside the village. Half of them had hit level 10 and job-changed, so they put up a fight, but no major issues so far. Oh, and like you said, I've set aside the women you'd like. Did I do good?]
'Good girl.'
Honestly, when I'd assigned Im Ji-hye to hunt summoners, I'd had my doubts about whether she'd pull it off. But she'd exceeded expectations by a mile.
⚙ ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED ⚙ Murder Fiend Requirement: Defeat 100 Summoners (280/100) Effect: Deal 28.0% additional damage to humanoid enemies, including Summoners. Total Summoner Kills: 280 I immediately messaged Im Ji-hye back.
[Kim Joo-hyuk: On my way now. Wait for me at the orc unit's outpost.]
When I met up with Im Ji-hye, I gently stroked her head and said,
"Good job, Ji-hye. You went above and beyond."
At my praise, Im Ji-hye's face bloomed with joy. Her eyes sparkled with delight and excitement, her cheeks flushing a soft pink.
"Really? Hehe... I was just doing what you told me to, Master."
"No. This is all you. Even with your spirits securing visibility, no one else could've pulled off results like this. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from your command skills, but you're incredible."
"Y-You think so...?"
Im Ji-hye bashfully lowered her head at the compliments, but like a cat craving more, she rubbed her head against my body.
"Master... I worked so hard. You prepared a reward, right?"
"Of course. I've been saving up a thick load, so look forward to tonight."
I said as I kneaded her ass.
"Hng...!"
"But first, we need to head to Han Yu-ra's base and check out just how well you've done, yeah?"
"Yes! Sounds perfect!"
Im Ji-hye perfectly understood my plan. Her face lit up with curiosity about how I'd break in my new toy—Han Yu-ra—and anticipation for the pleasure ahead.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Arriving at Han Yu-ra's base with Im Ji-hye like it was a casual outing, it was exactly as expected: the orcs were gleefully tearing the place apart.
The cave entrance was smashed, the defensive barricades were burning, and the summoners were screaming as they fled for their lives.
It was the perfect picture of chaotic hell I'd dreamed of.
[Krahahaha! Humans weak!]
Under Im Ji-hye's orders, the orcs were playing soccer with human heads and tossing them around like toys. A few "balls" got crushed in the process, but there were plenty more skulls lying around to replace them.
'She nailed the staging.'
I gave Im Ji-hye a look. She nodded and relayed new orders to the orcs via her spirits.
"Hey, you lot having fun playing with the humans?"
My low voice made the rampaging orcs freeze in unison. They turned toward the sound, and the moment they spotted me, their faces twisted in horror like they'd seen a ghost.
"Giving you three seconds. Anyone still in my sight after that gets killed."
[Kraaak! It's the Slayer! The Slayer's here!]
[Run! If he catches you, you won't even have bones left!]
At my words, the orcs dropped their weapons and scattered in blind panic.
I let out a hollow chuckle at the sight.
'I was planning to kill one or two as examples if they stuck around, but they're all gone. How much running practice did these bastards get while I was away?'
As I approached the cave entrance, Han Yu-ra appeared, sweat beading on her forehead, her face etched with disbelief.
"The orcs just... running away like that? What in the world...?"
I shrugged at them.
"I've been slicing up orcs left and right lately, so now they all bolt the second they see my face."
I lied nonchalantly. Not entirely untrue, though. Ever since I'd one-shot the named orc Krallta, regular orcs pissed themselves at the sight of me.
Meanwhile, with the orc assault suddenly over, the people sighed in relief. In their eyes, I must've looked like the perfect savior now.
"Joo-hyuk!"
Han Yu-ra rushed over and hugged me tight. Her face mixed relief at surviving with boundless trust in me.
'Fuck, her tits pressing so firm against me feels amazing.'
"Thank you... truly, thank you! If you hadn't come, we'd be...!"
She trailed off, gazing at me with tearful eyes.
"It's fine. I'm here now."
I reassured her as we headed into the cave together.
"Now that I'm here, you're safe for today. Rest up, treat the wounded, and reinforce the broken spots first."
Cheers erupted from everyone inside.
Except one person.
Han Yu-ra's expression had hardened.
"Just for a day?"
"Yeah. Sorry, but I've got a ton to prepare myself. This was me squeezing in time on short notice."
I said with an apologetic look.
"But... if you leave, the orcs will come back! We'll... we'll be right back to...!"
"I'm sorry."
Her face drained of color at my words.
I glanced around. The base was far more wrecked than my last visit. The damaged defenses were bad enough, but reigniting the morale of these terrified, broken people wouldn't happen overnight.
'Once I leave, it'll turn back into the orcs' playground.'
Savoring Han Yu-ra's look of despair, I flicked my eyes down to those heavy tits of hers and licked my lips.
'Not long now.'
The day those massive jugs land in my hands is right around the corner.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Kim Joo-hyuk staying at the base for just one day felt like a death sentence to Han Yu-ra.
She clung to Im Ji-hye like a drowning woman grasping at straws.
"Ji-hye! If Joo-hyuk can't, could you at least help us?"
But Im Ji-hye shook her head firmly.
"Sorry. I can only move with Joo-hyuk's permission. I'm just a party member... If you're that desperate, you'll have to convince him yourself."
Im Ji-hye turned away with a cold smile, one that seemed to say, 'You think you can persuade him?'
"I... I have nothing to offer Joo-hyuk. Couldn't you give me a hint about what he likes?"
"From what I've seen, you have plenty to offer, Han Yu-ra."
Han Yu-ra blinked in shock at her words.
'Plenty I can offer?'
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I gave you your hint. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to rest."
Left alone, Han Yu-ra bit her lower lip hard.
'I have to convince Joo-hyuk somehow, no matter the cost...!'
She waited until the dead of night. When everyone was asleep, she quietly made her way to Kim Joo-hyuk's tent. His stood out sharply from the others.
A large, sleek, expensive-looking dome tent made of gray special material.
And its effects were impressive too.
🛡️ ITEM INFO 🛡️ Lv 5 Personal Protection Tent - 50,000pt

'...No way I can tempt him with points as compensation.'
Han Yu-ra hesitated in front of the tent before knocking lightly.
"Joo-hyuk? Are you in there? It's Han Yu-ra."
No response from inside.
'Maybe he stepped out for a bit?'
After a moment's thought, she peeked at the entrance flap. Surprisingly, it wasn't locked.
Peeking inside revealed a spacious, cozy interior. Soft blankets and pillows, a faint incense burning.
'Wow... This is on another level from mine... No, focus!'
With Joo-hyuk away, Han Yu-ra saw this as her golden chance to figure out what he wanted—what his tastes were.
'I'll just slip in, look around quick, and get out. If he asks why I was inside, say I was warming up because it was cold.'
Her conscience pricked a little, but she couldn't leave empty-handed.
As Han Yu-ra rationalized it and scanned the interior, footsteps approached from outside—two sets.
And as they drew closer, a strange, ear-tingling sound came with them.
"Huuu... Joo-hyuk, I can't hold back anymore."
'Can't hold back? What's that about?'
