Meeting Hyerim
"Aah... Jinjin... I don't want to leave Jinjin... What am I going to do..."
"Whine... whine... whine..."
Eunbyul had to return to her village once her wounds had healed.
But she and Jinjin had already grown so attached to each other. They lingered, eyes glistening with tears, reluctant to part.
"I want to stay here with you too, Jinjin...
But my family and everyone from the Black Wolf Sect are all back at our village...
It would be so wonderful if you could come with me...
But you said you can't go...
So I'll head back, make my report, and...
If it's possible, I'll come back to you...
Huh?
You don't want me to come? Something might happen?
Hmm?
Ah... So you have your own complicated story too, Jinjin...
Alright, I understand...
Anyway, make sure you remember the general location of our village, okay?
If anything happens, come find me at the village. Just ask for Eunbyul of the Black Wolf Sect...
Got it?"
"Woof... woof... woof..."
Eunbyul kept trying to take Pungjin back to her village with her...
But Pungjin, who had no desire to live among other people while stuck in the form of a wolf that wasn't even human, refused.
In this state, living alone was simply more convenient in every way.
Besides, thanks to the magic, he would obviously be dragged back here every night anyway.
Just as they were about to part with tearful reluctance, Eunbyul suddenly asked,
"By the way, Jinjin. You're not even a dog, so why are you wearing a dog collar?
Did your owner put it on you? Wait, that doesn't make sense. You're a wolf, not a dog. What owner?
Should I take it off for you?
Hmm?
Yeah, let's at least give it a try."
Holy shit...
The collar came off so easily.
Pungjin, who had assumed it was bound with some powerful magical spell, was left utterly dumbfounded.
In that case, why had that terrifying blue-eyed madwoman put this thing on him in the first place...?
After Eunbyul finally left, Pungjin suddenly felt an aching emptiness in his chest.
He had gotten swept up in the moment and ended up having all kinds of sex with her, but according to his modern sensibilities as a former Korean hikikomori, wasn't that... bestiality?!
Of course, he didn't know anything about the customs or culture of the beastkin tribes...
But by his own standards, it was something that should never have been done.
Yet he wasn't human right now. He was a dog—no, a wolf. So was it really wrong for him to have done that?
Or was it wrong as a person?
He had never once experienced normal, proper sex between two humans...
He had been repeatedly raped and drained by an unidentified devilish beauty...
And now he had gone and committed bestiality with a girl from the Inrang tribe.
All he had wanted was to warmly embrace and kiss someone as a human being...
Yet he hadn't managed to do a single thing properly.
Pungjin returned to Miwol's house for the first time in a while and lay down on her bed.
The faint scent of his former owner still lingered.
Suddenly struck by an idea, he rummaged through Miwol's belongings until he found her underwear.
'Aah... This is... fucking jackpot...'
This was something he would never have even imagined doing before!!!
He buried his nose into Miwol's panties and bra, sniffing deeply.
His sense of smell, which had begun developing after he became a wolf, wasn't quite as sharp as a real wolf's, but it was developed enough to be useful.
'Ugh... Hng... This scent... Aah... This is... the precious scent of her most intimate place...!!'
If Shinji smelled like refreshing apples and Eunbyul carried a sensual floral fragrance, then Miwol gave off a sweet, comforting aroma.
Aah... What did it remind him of? Coconut?
And so, the wolf Pungjin inhaled his former owner's scent to his heart's content from her underwear, his cock swelling once again.
Missing his former owner, his cock had grown painfully hard again, but there was no way to relieve it.
He had just emptied himself so thoroughly while rolling around with Eunbyul...
Aah...
A lonely wolf indeed.
With a whatever, fuck it attitude, Pungjin lay down on Miwol's bed and fell asleep.
"Bang bang bang!! Bang bang bang!!
Is anyone home? Hello?? Excuse me!!! Is nobody there??"
A loud voice rang out from early in the morning.
If it hadn't been such a bright and cheerful girl's voice, he might have rushed out and bitten her throat.
Ah... When did I become this vicious...
Pungjin got up, grumbling in annoyance.
"Just a moment please!! Let me put some clothes on!!"
"Okay...!!"
'???????
Huh... What? Why can I speak?'
Shocked beyond words, Pungjin quickly examined his entire body.
???????
For some reason, he had turned back into a human???
What on earth was going on?
Could the person who had come looking for him be... that crazy beauty?
Tsk...
Still unable to fully collect his thoughts, Pungjin hastily threw on some clothes and cracked the door open just a little to check outside.
He didn't know how urgent the matter was, but the fact that she was banging on the door like that while clearly knowing who lived here suggested she wasn't an ordinary person.
Judging by her appearance, she didn't seem to be the insane beauty who had turned him into a wolf—the Crazy Beauty—so Pungjin felt slightly relieved as he greeted his visitor.
"Um... excuse me, is this the house of the witch— I mean, the Archmage?"
"Y-yes... it is?"
A cute girl—or was she a young woman?—wearing what looked like a fusion hanbok or perhaps a modern practical version of one, was panting heavily. Her large breasts heaved with each breath, dazzling Pungjin's eyes as she spoke in a lovely, chattering voice.
"Ah... So I was right? The merchant uncle told me an Archmage lived here...
Anyway, that's not important right now...
My father... My father was attacked by monsters... in the forest...
Hic... They ambushed him...
My father is normally incredibly strong, you know...
He wouldn't normally lose, but last night... Waaah..."
Her words were all over the place and hard to follow, but Pungjin was overjoyed at the simple fact that he could have a real conversation with a cute girl using actual human speech!!
He listened quietly to the girl and occasionally offered supportive interjections.
"Aha...!
I see...
Oh...
Really?
Wow...
That's amazing...
Oh no...!!"
Her flushed red cheeks, her hurried breathing, and her fragrant body scent...
Pungjin was already thrilled to be human again, and on top of that, to have such incredible luck the very moment he turned back into a person—it made him incredibly happy.
"So please... tell the witch—no, the Archmage—to heal my father... I mean, treat him... Please..."
In the end, the girl—no, the young woman—began to cry as she begged for the witch.
"Um... I'm really sorry to say this, but...
The Archmage isn't home right now..."
"What? She's not here??
Then what am I supposed to do???
Aah... This is really bad...
My father... Our father...
Waaaaah..."
Feeling sorry for her, Pungjin tried to comfort the girl—no, the young woman.
"This is truly unfortunate...
If the Archmage were here, I could have spoken to her on your behalf..."
There was no way in hell Miwol would have listened to a word he said, but Pungjin was just making things up to comfort her and send her away quickly.
He had only just turned back from a wolf into a human, and there were so many things he needed to do.
"Waaah... What am I going to do about my poor father...
Aah... Wait... By the way... Sir, what is your relationship with the Archmage?
Are you perhaps her apprentice? Or a colleague??"
Pungjin couldn't possibly answer that he was the witch's dog, so he gave a vague reply.
"Huh? Ah... well... you could say... something like that..."
"Then you must be able to use healing magic or curative arts too, right?"
"What? No, I mean... I've only read about it in books. I've never actually done it..."
"Aah... Please... I'm begging you...
There isn't a single healer or mage to be found anywhere in this area.
You're my last hope, Mage-nim... Please...
If you just help me... I'll do anything. Anything at all...
Please...!!"
Now the girl—no, the young woman—was grabbing his arm and literally dragging him along!!!
The moment he became human again, his timid, can't-say-no nature reared its head. Pungjin was flustered and had no idea what to do.
"N-no... That's not... If you just tell me the symptoms roughly, I could at least give you some medicinal herbs...
But going somewhere else is... I...!!"
"Ah, I see. You need to prepare first.
I'm sorry, Mage-nim. By the way, what is your name?
I'm Hyerim. I'm an apprentice priestess, but I'm back home for a little while."
Hyerim kept talking even though no one had asked. Pungjin quickly gathered some herbs and handed them to her as he said,
"I-I'm... J-Jinjin."
"Jinjin? Oh... That's a strange name. Wait, how rude of me...
That's not important right now. Jinjin-nim, please...
How would I know how to use these herbs?
Please come with me to our village for just a little while and look at my father...!! Please!!"
Hyerim clung to Pungjin's arm, pressing her breasts against him as she kept pushing him forward!!
Pungjin was startled by the feeling of her full, soft breasts against his arm and found himself being dragged along by her again and again.
"W-wait, I can't... That's not... I... This place..."
Even as he tried to resist, the repeated sensation of her breasts against his body left him stunned. Then his eyes landed on a wooden rocking horse placed nearby.
'Wait... What is that?'
Blue gems were embedded in the horse's eyes. It looked like some kind of magical object.
"I'm sorry. I should have come on a flying boat, but the only thing we have in our village is this flying horse...
There's only one of these in the entire village...
Hurry and get on. We need to leave quickly."
Hyerim, who had already figured out his weakness, was frighteningly cunning!!!
She thrust her enormous breasts forward once again and began pushing him.
Overwhelmed by her strong will and even stronger chest, Pungjin climbed onto the wooden horse without fully understanding what was happening.
For some reason, Pungjin ended up sitting in front while Hyerim sat behind him.
It seemed she was worried he might run away if she sat in front.
"We're departing~~!!! Hold on tight to the neck and lean forward..."
"Whoa whoa whoa!!"
Pungjin was terrified. Just what the hell was this wooden horse?
It suddenly floated slightly off the ground and then shot forward—not running, but actually flying.
It didn't rise too high, so it didn't get caught on tall branches, but it maintained an appropriate height just above the low bushes.
'Aah... If I leave the house like this, I'll pass out because of the magic!!
No, wait... That was the previous owner's magic... So maybe I can help for one night...
Wait, no... The new owner's magic has been broken, so does that mean the previous owner's magic is active again???!!!!'
Having experienced many times what happened when he disobeyed Miwol's orders, Pungjin was filled with fear.
'If I faint at this speed while riding the horse, won't I fall off and break my neck?!
But maybe this doesn't count as disobeying the owner's orders?
No... Of course it does.'
While Pungjin was lost in his worries, the wooden horse had already begun flying at incredible speed.
'Huh... Nothing's happening?'
