Chapter Title: Taiji Yin-Yang Physique (37)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I'd egged on Jegal Yeonhwa to spill Namgung Jin's secrets because I needed to win the duel against that guy next week. Annoying as it was, he was still the perfect protagonist, so I had to gather whatever info I could.
The real heroine—gotta攻略 her, right?
I couldn't settle for that draw from a few days ago. I needed to leave a stronger impression on her. If Namgung Bin headed back to An Hwaseong, my chances would drop sharply. So I had to make the most of this opportunity.
"...Why isn't she coming?"
But the Jegal Yeonhwa I'd been waiting for never even showed her face.
"Oppa! I'm here!"
"Oh, hi..."
Instead, it was Euna and her friend, Dang Soyeon, who came looking for me.
"We're sorry!"
"...How to seduce a man?"
"Yes! Hehe... I was just trying to help Soyeon, and it kinda..."
"Can you help? I... I'll make it worth your while!"
Hmm... Honestly, I had no clue.
Showing a friend you're having sex and masturbating to the sight—what did that have to do with seducing a guy? I was dying to ask, but the two of them looked so cute desperately making excuses that I let it slide.
"So, what exactly do you want help with?"
"Well... Argh, like this!"
"...Like this?"
"Yes! I'm gonna practice jumping into a guy's arms!"
Ah, I see.
Yeah, no idea.
Would this even work? Just hugging out of nowhere when you're not even lovers? It didn't seem that effective. In this Confucian world, she might even get backlash. Worst case, she'd be seen as some vulgar girl.
"Hold on first... Like this. ...Ahh, so happy... Hugging you after training is the real rest, Oppa."
Nope. This actually works. No guy could hate a cute girl like this throwing herself at him. Come to think of it, I'd gotten dashes like this from Euna even before we dated. Looking at it now, it was a highly effective strategy that made full use of her looks and charm.
"Lady Euna."
"Yes?"
"You okay with this?"
"Huh? With what?"
"Dang So-jjeo hugging me like this? And you, Dang So-jjeo—are you really fine with it? Hugging a guy you don't even like."
The only weird part was practicing it separately. The appeal was mustering the courage to hug, then getting all flustered and shy. No experience meant she only knew half the equation.
"A hug's fine. Nothing more, though..."
"I'm okay. As long as it's just practice...! Oh, wait! I should've gotten Hero Baek Daehyeop's permission first. Are you alright with it, Hero Baek Daehyeop?"
"Me... Hmm."
"Oppa~ Help Soyeon out, pretty please?"
"Alright. I'll help."
Why not? Like I always say, I don't turn away comers... girls who come my way, that is. She had that flaw of liking Namgung Jin, but Dang Soyeon was cute enough that a little courtesy wouldn't hurt.
"But it won't be free."
"...Name your price. Money's no issue."
"Not money. I want info. On the guy you're into."
"...Info on Namgung Jin?"
"Yes. Especially anything duel-related would be great."
"H-Hey, that's!"
Yeah, give me some info, and I'll hug you all you want. I stroked Euna in my arms with the gentlest expression I could muster and addressed Dang Soyeon. Her polite facade cracked right away.
Hmm, yeah—the honest side suits her much better.
"Do that, and I'll help you with all my heart. Don't you need a guy's perspective too? You two alone won't learn the full art of seduction."
"Ugh... Even so..."
"I'm not asking for secrets or weaknesses. Even little habits are fine. As you know, I'm the underdog here. Just trying my best for a good match."
"Great idea, Oppa! Fights are more helpful when levels are close, right? If you can go toe-to-toe with that guy even a little, you'll get great results!"
"Haha. That's my Lady Euna."
"Yeah, Soyeon. This helps Namgung Jin too. Competition sparks motivation, right? Like giving a lone dog its first rival!"
"...R-Really?"
"I think so too. Not just for me—it's for healthy rivalry."
"Umm... Fine. But only for Namgung Jin! Don't get the wrong idea."
As expected from a sub-heroine—easy pickings.
Thrilled at the unexpected harvest, Euna suddenly groped my dick without a word, giggled, and slipped out of my arms with a smug I did good, right? look.
Hye-mae was one thing, but Euna too—how did they read me so well? I smiled back at her and decided to start the real practice.
"Good. Info later—practice first."
"U-Ugh..."
"Hmm? Dang So-jjeo?"
"Wait... Don't rush me."
"Dang So-jjeo?"
"I said don't rush!"
"..."
"Ah, don't!"
"I didn't say anything?"
"Your face did! Your face!"
But half an hour later, Dang Soyeon still hadn't budged. Or rather, couldn't? Turns out, she was stiffer than she looked.
"Looks like we need to change the practice."
"Really? How, Oppa?"
"Start with getting used to physical contact. Way easier than charging in yourself."
-Grab!
"Kyaaaaah!"
-Slap!
"..."
"Oppa! Hey! Dang Soyeon, are you crazy?!"
After thirty minutes of no movement, I approached and hugged her—only for Dang Soyeon to full-swing a slap at me. Ow, that stung. Little but spicy. Euna yelled and charged at her, while Dang Soyeon apologized, sweating bullets.
"S-Sorry... Instinctively... I'm so sorry!"
Perfect—plan working. Getting slapped had the desired effect.
"...For practice. Bear with it a bit."
Still, ending at just a hug felt like a waste.
I'd planned pure help at first, but seeing more of her changed my mind. Opportunity like this? No way I'd pass. So I planted some guilt in Dang Soyeon.
"Haa... I'll try."
Now, if I gradually upped the intensity while insisting it was "for practice," she wouldn't resist much.
-Grab!
"Hauu... Haa, ah... Wait... Nngh, no... Hate it... Hah..."
"...Soyeon? Oppa, you didn't..."
"Not at all! Hands off."
"Hah, haaa... N-Not that... Nngh... Ughhh..."
What the...? I hadn't done anything yet.
Just a hug, and Dang Soyeon's face flushed as she started moaning lewdly, like she was being fondled. Was she a pervert like Jegal Yeonhwa? Flustered, I stepped back, and she snapped out of it, sweating and apologizing.
"Sorry, haa... K-Keep thinking of you two... doing that... Haa, I need someone else's help. Otherwise, I'll go weird... Hngh."
Ah, got it.
Bro-con issues.
All because that guy's fixated on his sister, turning all the heroines into pervs. For the story, the protagonist should hook up with them—but as a half-cuck bro-con, heroines end up "more aggressive girls" primed to cross lines at the slightest push.
Fuck, he won't eat what's served, so force-feed it...
Annoying. Time to touch Dang Soyeon myself.
"That's exactly why I should help. Like pushing limits in training to grow stronger—your path needs to be tougher."
"I-Is that it?"
"Yes. Let's restart."
"Ah, haa... S-Suddenly..."
"...Oppa, that's really why, right?"
"Lady Euna, you too. Group hug'll reassure Dang So-jjeo."
"Ah! Great idea! Hehe, Oppa as always!"
And so, until sunset, I held Euna and Dang Soyeon close, savoring the skinship with both.
