Who's the Master and Who's the Chihuahua?!
Who's the Master and Who's the Chihuahua?!
After all the Slimes were subjugated, the remains that had turned into liquid monsters were collected by the Hero Association.
They say Slime mucus is highly effective as a skin nutrient, so it gets processed into cosmetics or something.
I suppose they might have just left them alone because, while they were busy at the time of subjugation, there wasn't much damage and they could just reap the benefits.
'... No, that's just slacking off while others do the work.'
I wanted them to save me, dammit!
I rubbed my lower abdomen, where I had felt the intense vibrations.
It felt as if the sensation I never wanted to feel again was still lingering.
The moment the stimulation had built up and was about to burst like a firecracker.
'If Cheon Hae-won hadn't saved me, I might have lost my mind.'
Thinking back to the situation an hour ago, my legs trembled on their own.
And my empty lower half.
Since my clothes had all melted and I was only wearing a blazer, the wind was blowing right inside.
Even the subtle scent of Cheon Hae-won.
It was a bitter yet strangely calming scent of Mana Herb.
Aisha, who was gathering Slimes with a snow shovel next to me, said.
"You should've at least worn what the Hero-unnie gave you earlier."
"N-no, I don't need to. Something like that..."
Perhaps feeling sorry for me, only wearing Cheon Hae-won's blazer, a few people handed me underwear and a blanket.
The blanket was longer than I thought, so I kept stepping on it and it kept slipping off, and the underwear was...
A set with a bra.
I might have worn just the panties, but since the two were connected by a rubber band? A wire? Anyway, they were connected, so I couldn't wear just one, and I decided not to wear them at all.
That's why I'm in this state.
All I have is Cheon Hae-won's blazer, which I had to beg for.
Just thinking about that moment still makes me grind my teeth.
'Now, as I taught you, execute.'
'I'm sorry for acting cocky and saying I didn't need it even though I'm a loser, sorry... you f*cking, I'm s-sorry...!'
'That's right, our little brat speaks well~ Here, take it and wear it.'
Bastard. Who's your little brat?
That grinning face of his as he draped the clothes over me is still vivid in my mind.
Why didn't I think to record it with an Artifact and leak it back then?
A thug walking around with a naked loli. The phrase alone is already ruinous enough.
Or maybe, since he's a thug by nature, he doesn't care about what people around him think.
'Why was I so desperate over just my chest... I mean.'
A question that didn't leave my mind while finishing the cleaning and rejoining the team.
A sense of shame that a man wouldn't have, or rather, wouldn't need to have.
A reflex commanded by a brain that judges itself to be female.
I suspect it might be an error that occurred while possessing Kwon Do-ah.
Chak-chak-
I patted my cheeks, which had become moist from the Slime.
My body, which was already soft, was now filled with moisture, so it felt like patting water.
'If I don't pull myself together, I might really be in danger...'
To think I'd be worrying about exposing my chest after just two days.
That bullshit about the mind following the body isn't a lie after all.
At this rate, it'll be a blink of an eye before my high-speed golden brain becomes an F- as marked on my status.
Still, the fortunate thing is that I still hate Cheon Hae-won.
He only took care of the Slimes stuck to me and Aisha and didn't step up again.
Look at him now, not helping with the cleaning and just smoking Mana Herb in the alley.
I'm grateful he helped, but who would like a guy who is so sarcastic?
... Ah, there is one bitch.
Our Chapssaltteok.
"Are you done? Good work."
"Ugh... you didn't even help, you just watched!"
Kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk.
Aisha puffed out her cheeks and poked Cheon Hae-won's stomach with her finger.
Then, after freezing for a moment.
Jomul-jomul.
She kneaded him mercilessly with both hands, her eyes sparkling.
"Wow... woaaaah..."
"Hey, hey, Isha, that tickles."
"Woaaaah... it's hard..."
Aisha, who was hugging him and rubbing her face against him mercilessly, and Cheon Hae-won, who couldn't easily push Chapssaltteok away even though he'd grab my neck or throw me aside like trash.
Look at them playing around.
Is the whole world Pinkfong except for me?
It's not that I'm jealous or feeling left out.
A girl who has a temper and smells similar to the guy I hated, and his childhood friend.
Naturally, any man would treat the latter more affectionately.
I just want to go back and wash up quickly.
That's... all it is.
I tried to hug Aisha from behind to pull her off... but realizing I wouldn't be able to do it with strength, I made her come to her senses.
"How long are you going to keep wearing your Suit?"
"O-oh, right, that's right...! Ahaha, seeing Hae-won, I just couldn't help it..."
Seeing Aisha's Suit without a single hole, the A+ Mana rank really hits home.
Only then realizing she was only wearing her Base Suit, Aisha immediately deactivated it and changed into her uniform.
Perhaps disappointed that she couldn't keep kneading Cheon Hae-won, only the ends of her drooping twin tails were swaying noisily.
Immediately after the three of us gathered, a man who looked like the leader approached.
"Wow~ thanks for the help. Quite a lot of Slimes came out this time, so we really needed the extra hands. Thanks to you, the cleaning finished quickly."
"It's nothing, it's just something we should do, right? Heehit."
"Hm? Now that I look, you're a Saint Candidate, the one who does broadcasts. My kids said your bright appearance is nice to see. Haha!"
"Oh, really? Please tell them I'm grateful they see me in a good light~ Oh, and I got permission from the Academy to broadcast, so I'll be able to turn it on again soon!"
"Really? I'll have to watch it sometime!"
Come to think of it, she installed the broadcasting equipment yesterday.
Considering how often she turns on the broadcast, the fact that so many people recognize her means she must be a fairly popular streamer.
The leader shook hands lightly with Aisha and then looked at me and Cheon Hae-won.
"You students worked hard too. And you, I heard you caught all the runaway Slimes? Wow~ that's incredibly fast, you're a talent I'd want to scout, what's your name?"
?
Looking closely after hearing the man's words, Cheon Hae-won's right hand was covered in mucus.
Cheon Hae-won ignored the man, turned his head, and just smoked his Mana Herb.
"Haha, ha... he's shy, unlike how he looks. We're going to return since we've finished up, should we give you a ride to the Academy? It's a bit... difficult to go in that state, right?"
The man asked, looking at me with pitying eyes.
Never mind my clothes, even the shoes I was wearing had melted, so it was impossible to walk.
Since my mana is pathetic, I thought maybe my recovery speed would be fast, so I touched my Choker, but only the hologram flickered and the Base Suit didn't manifest.
Besides, it was getting dark.
It would be better to ride in the man's car if I wanted to eat, shower quickly, and sleep... but unexpectedly, Aisha refused.
"Our house is 5 minutes from here. I got permission for an overnight stay, so I'm going to sleep over."
"Ah~ then that's fine. Alright, you worked hard today, get some good rest. If a Magic Beast higher than E-Rank appears, just report it and stay behind us adults. Got it?"
Until the leader left, Aisha waved her hand with a bright smile.
"Let's go too. It's about time for Mom and Dad to eat."
"Am I going too?"
"Of course, they love it when I bring friends over! They'll be surprised to see Hae-won too— Hm? Where's Hae-won?"
"Over there."
In the direction I pointed with my thumb, Cheon Hae-won was walking away.
Aisha's twin tails stood straight up as she let out a "Tteuhyaaaak!" sound.
She ran "Uda-da-da" and grabbed Cheon Hae-won.
"Where are you going~!?"
"No need for you to know, the patrol is over. You go home safely too."
"Don't be like that, just come eat and go~ Hm? Aren't you hungry? And it's hard for me to carry Doa on my back all by myself..."
"Haa... I'll only drop you off, okay?"
"Hehet, okay!"
Cheon Hae-won sighed and approached me.
The moment I wondered if he was going to carry me on his back, I was grabbed by the scruff of my neck.
To be precise, not the scruff of my neck, but my clothes. He grabbed the back collar of the blazer and lifted me up.
"Yat, you...! Put me down right now?!"
"If I carry you on my back or in my arms, I'll get soaked too."
"Th-then do you have to carry me like a puppy?!"
"Looking at how you act, you're no different from a mutt that bites its master. Tsk, is there such a thing as a Chihuahua that walks on two legs?"
"Who's the master and who's the Chihuahua?! Put me down!"
Keureureung-
The blazer, which had been covering my thighs, rode up to around my crotch.
If I didn't hold onto the hem of the clothes and hold on, my private parts would be peeking out.
Aisha's face turned bright red.
"I, I want to see Hae-won soaked..."
"Th, um... Isha."
"Oh, didn't you just think about me? D-did you hear it?"
You're secretly a pervert, this Chapssaltteok.
Come to think of it, I saw signs of it from when she recognized the brand of the slutty clothes that came in my package.
I wrapped the blazer Aisha had taken off around my waist and passed through the downtown area while being carried by Cheon Hae-won.
If I had known it would be like this, I would have asked him to cover my face instead.
My backside was exposed, but thanks to Cheon Hae-won covering it with his body, it wouldn't be seen, but if seen from another direction, I would probably look like an exhibitionist pervert.
"Here it is, let's go in."
"Hey Cheon Hae-won, how long are you going to hold me? My armpits hurt, so put me down— Eukyak?!"
Had we walked for about 5 minutes? We arrived in front of a building.
The first floor was a bakery with a 'Close' sign hanging on it, and the second floor was a commercial-residential house that was a family home.
Aisha naturally opened the door next to the entrance that led to the second floor and went up the stairs.
Of course, while holding his sleeve so Cheon Hae-won couldn't run away.
The appetizing smell of a restaurant wafted out, and Aisha, who opened the door, shouted cheerfully.
"I'm home~!"
"Oh my~ is our princess here?"
"My goodness... are you really Hae-won? Is that really that rascal...?"
"Honey, we have friends over, come on...!"
Aisha's father, who appeared with arms wide open and a full smile, hugged her as soon as he saw her and rubbed his beard all over her.
He was a muscular man with curly hair and sunglasses, but the way he stuck out his lips and looked so happy... hmm, he's a daughter-fool.
Perhaps embarrassed by the display of affection in front of us, Aisha tried to push her father away with her hair, but he didn't budge.
Her mother... scanned Cheon Hae-won and couldn't close her mouth.
Since it was an appearance I had customized with great care, it was a natural reaction, as he would only look like a handsome man if he kept his mouth shut.
"Do you know how surprised I was when you suddenly disappeared? I'm so glad and happy to see you again~ Are you hungry? I set out a lot of food because I heard you were coming."
"Ah, no, I, ahem, I... am fine. I only came to drop this little brat off—"
"Don't be like that, eat and go~ A kid who's going to be a hero needs to eat well and stay strong."
I was worried he might be rude enough to snap at Aisha's parents too, but it was a needless worry.
How satisfying it was to see him trying to use polite language that didn't come naturally to him.
The moment I looked up at him and grinned, in the blind spot where her mother couldn't see, he squeezed [my butt] tight.
"Kikik, I'm fine~ like that... W-waung?! You, you...!"
A tingling sensation traveling up my spine to my brain.
As my butt was grabbed hard, a strange sound leaked out.
He told me not to grin.
As I was growling and fuming, her mother asked.
"Oh my, what's wrong?"
"Ah, it's nothing... I'm Kwon Do-ah. Aisha's roommate..."
"Ah~ you're Isha's friend? Please take care of me too— Oh my, you're covered in Slime?! You'll catch a cold if you stay like that, let's go wash up right away."
"Y-yes..."
"Follow me, dear. Honey, serve Isha and Hae-won some soup and feed them first~"
While following her mother, I walked while holding onto my butt area so the blazer wouldn't ride up.
'There's definitely going to be a handprint left on this...!'
It was only grabbed for a moment, but a stinging heat remains.
Since it's a part too embarrassing to ask Aisha to treat, all I can do is grind my teeth and glare at him.
Looking back, I made eye contact with Cheon Hae-won, who was behind Aisha and her father.
The way he was lecherously kneading his right hand, really, haa...
'... Asshole.'
You're a real fucking asshole.
