Chapter Title: Doctor Gam Deok-bae (51)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Druk Luin, the only opponent my ability didn't work on.
Hearing he'd be working at the palace made me so happy I grinned all day. A rational guy who thought just like me. Even in our brief meeting, he'd given me huge inspiration. I wanted to see him again someday, but to think we'd end up working together!
This had to be luck on my side, right?
"I heard the news! You're joining the palace as a doctor too, Luin!"
I greeted him with a bright smile, full of genuine joy.
"What, no hello for me?"
"Hmph, Masha, I see you all the time... Huh?!"
B-but... what the hell was that?
Something massive sticking straight up.
My friend kneeling before it, her small mouth stretched wide in service. Slurping, sucking sounds mixed with the man's satisfied groans. No matter how I looked at it, that was definitely that kind of act... No way, were those two dating? Masha, recalling what happened that morning. Thanks to her, I learned something I never wanted to know.
"Huh? What's wrong all of a sudden?"
"Eeeek?!"
A-ah... but Masha's flashback didn't end there.
"S-Serin too..."
Serin wrapping Luin's... thing with her ridiculously huge breasts. My role model, who'd sworn she had no interest in men, was doing something straight out of porn. Her face said she was totally lost in the lewd act... How could she?
My friend and Serin, both like slaves to Druk Luin.
Times like this made me curse my ability.
"What? What are you talking about?"
"Ugh... Hehe, I wanna see Serin too. It's been ages."
[Regret, longing, anticipation, excitement, arousal]
See? Even now, all those dirty thoughts were visible.
Oblivious that I could read her mind, Masha looked forward to the evening's th-three... that party. I thought she only cared about training... When did she start having such filthy thoughts? It didn't make sense. It felt like a dream.
And so naturally, looking forward to a th-three...
...some! Aah...!
Even in a fantasy world, that was too weird!
No marriage, no engagement, and polygamy? What the hell was going on? My head hurt from this unimaginable mess. It was my first time dealing with something like this, hard to adjust. I'd been thrilled to gain a friend to vent to... Uwaaa, a playboy! What now? How should I handle him?
"Long time no see, Senior Chloe."
"...Huh? Senior?"
"We're both palace doctors now."
"Oh... right! So from today, you're my junior, Luin!"
But what was so great about that average guy?
A face between plain and handsome. Rugged looks, sturdy build. Not ugly, but not particularly charming. Well, his personality was nice, easy to talk to. But... enough to cheat with? Oh, right. Iris liked him too! What the... Was there something I didn't know?
My frustration doubled.
Especially since my ability didn't work on him.
"Thanks for the escort, Masha. I'll call when it's time to head back."
"Yes, Sir Luin. I'll wait at the outpost."
In the end, all I could do was ask normally. No precise info without Masha, but I'd learn something. With a bit of curiosity and worry as a friend, I asked what they were to each other. We'd be working together, so knowing his true feelings would ease my mind.
"Masha's cute, right? Sweet, polite, and great at that."
"...Wh-what do you mean by that?"
"Haha, I mean she greets so nicely."
"Oh... greetings..."
Was this guy always such a tease?
Druk Luin kept flustering me. Without my ability, it was suffocating. Why say things so ambiguously, stirring up lewd images... It was driving me nuts. No, I heard "feels good every time..." – so just sit there? This was his fault.
Definitely not because I was interested in lewd stuff.
"Plus, she's got Masha for when it's scary."
"Yeah?"
"Thanks to that, that day we three went till morning..."
"Ugh?!"
"Oops... haha, nothing."
See that! Teasing me by almost spilling, playing with me! The frustration I hadn't felt in ages. I was about to force an answer... when Lucius showed up, ruining everything. The talk ended with "penalty is se...". What came next?
I sank into deep thought until the interview ended.
====

The interview? Just a formality... or so I thought. Three old doctors grilled me, stirring sad memories from my old life. Damn geezers. So many questions? Looked like they were nitpicking... What to do. Good thing I had my mystical medical encyclopedia.
At least in this world, I was Black Jack.
"I-impressive! The reactions change when burned!"
"Heh... who knew mixing three common herbs could yield such effects..."
"Ahem... uh, heard there's a herb for baldness..."
What? Their goal was this?
The three old men pulling out notebooks mid-interview.
They'd heard rumors and came to learn. Ignored Lucius's hints, kept asking... Fine, eagerness to learn was good. They'd be useful connections, no need to act pricey.
"So, satisfied?"
"H-ha... sorry, Your Highness. Got excited with new medicine... ahem. Unanimous pass."
"Good. Leave, I have words for him alone."
"Yes, sir."
The palace doctors bowed and fled. Alone at last, the mood grew heavy. Lucius exuded the main male lead's mystique and loneliness. The crown prince type? Even a guy could see he was insanely handsome. The hidden loneliness... bullshit. Damn, almost got done in! Women's romance world indeed. Can't let my guard down.
Stay out of needless entanglements.
As I warily eyed him in my mind...
"Luin, give me a checkup."
Lucius extended his hand.
"...?"
"What're you doing? Checkup."
"Ah, y-yes... got it."
Damn this idiot! Fell into my own trap! The lie I'd made for skinship with girls now choked me. Lucius reached casually for the exam. Shit... endure it. Recalling the morning 3P, I imagined fun stuff to bear the pain. Holding hands with Siwoo pissed me off, but...
Sigh, had to endure to see him suffer.
"You know about my headaches."
"Yes."
"Check it."
Forced a handshake, used Observation to probe his memories... n-no, damn. "Probe" sounds wrong! Hell. Women's world... I recalled lewd memories to steel myself, checked again. Siwoo's headaches didn't matter; find his weakness first.
Dark mists unfolded.
Fitting the main guy, a tragic past... Hmm, tough. Trauma so deep, hard to pinpoint memories. Seemed like abuse... aa, crap. Use Sirius Chance? Skimmed his past casually, faked success.
"Migraine."
"That's it?"
"Precisely, mana-clump migraine. Disease from severe trauma patients; body resists mana when recalling bad memories. Surprisingly simple to treat... but if root cause lingers, turns chronic – fairly dangerous."
"...Trauma, I see."
"I'll make a quick herb remedy for now."
"One question first. Simple disease – why didn't other doctors know? Some diagnosed migraine, but you're first on trauma."
"Everyone knew migraine. But trauma as cause? Not common knowledge yet. Unlike East, this country downplays mental issues. And... even knowing, hard to tell the prince."
"Hmm, but you're fine?"
"Just my job as doctor."
"Indeed... as Serin said. Understood."
Now he'd pay more attention to Chloe. Perfect main leads overcome trauma with heroine. But if she gets raped first... heh, everything twists. Heroine distracted elsewhere despite talks, hesitant due to position...
...misses timing watching her.
Perfect future.
From now, tighter tightrope. Late regret, approaching Chloe – but she's mine by then, ends in tears clutching cock... Sounds good, right?
For solid NTR, control their distance. Lucius slowly falling for Chloe, Chloe slowly into me. When paths cross – dizzying betrayal thrill.
That was this NTR's goal.
