Chapter 42: The Gate (7)
“Hey.”
“...”
“Are you ignoring me?”
“...”
Inside the small tent, Choi Hyena kept her back turned to me, maintaining a steadfast silence.
She had nothing to say for herself.
Not only had she acted on her own, gotten attacked by a Wendigo, and nearly gotten me killed, but she had also landed a soccer kick on the very man who saved her life.
Twice... no, counting the time she was almost attacked by the White Yeti, I had actually saved her life a whopping three times.
And yet, she had been so caught up in her own humiliating memories that she’d resorted to violence against her benefactor.
“...I’m sorry.”
“For what?”
“For acting on my own, for kicking you... for everything...”
Her submissive attitude made me hesitate for a moment.
Should I let this go?
Getting kicked was absurd, but I was long past the point of being hurt by a woman’s kick, especially one that wasn't even infused with magic.
Back in the day, it would have been like getting a light swat from a kitten.
Still, letting it slide completely felt unfair. After going through hell to save her, I get a kick to the chest for my troubles? No matter how I thought about it, it was infuriating.
“Just with words?”
You’re just going to thank me and leave it at that?
I tossed out a comment meant to subtly prick her conscience.
I had to tease her when I had the chance. Once we got out of this gate, we’d probably never see each other again. When else would I get to vent this frustration?
“It was the first time in my life I was almost killed by a piece of rock, and after I went through absolute hell to save you, I get a kick to the solar plexus.”
“...”
Choi Hyena looked at me with a heavy, dark expression.
“I admit it. This was entirely my fault. And you’re my benefactor who saved my life three times. As the successor of the Seongbuk Choi family, I’ve incurred a debt that can never be repaid.”
A deep blush bloomed on her face.
“I-I’m willing to do anything you want.”
“Really?”
I deliberately moved closer to her, my eyes scanning her body from top to bottom.
“You’ll really do anything?”
“Ngh...”
A girl as sharp as Choi Hyena couldn’t possibly misunderstand what I was implying.
“...Alright.”
With trembling hands, Choi Hyena took off her thick fur coat.
The combination of her determined gaze and a face that looked like it was about to burst into tears was the most ridiculous comedy I’d ever seen.
I’d teased her enough.
“Then just get me some good magic equipment later.”
“What...?”
I considered asking for an elixir, but with the app’s buffs, I didn’t really need one.
High-performance equipment, on the other hand, was hard to come by even with money if you didn’t have the right connections. As one of the prestigious magic families, the Seongbuk Choi family could probably get their hands on gear I couldn’t.
“...Is that really all you want?”
“If you feel that bad about it, you can always just put out for me.”
“...”
My playful remark was met with an awkward silence.
...What’s this? Why did she suddenly go quiet?
Normally, Choi Hyena would have cursed me out or tried to strangle me. But now, she just stood there blushing, completely unresponsive.
“...I’m going to sleep.”
“Huh?”
She quietly curled up in a corner of the tent to sleep, and her turned back made me feel strangely awkward.
Is this what they mean when they say getting yelled at is better than getting the silent treatment?
With no other choice, I also curled up in a corner and tried to sleep.
Thankfully, no roars from magical beasts were heard that night.

“The ‘Ring of Desire Reversal’...?”
“It’s an artifact. Its effect is to reverse the target’s strongest desire.”
When morning came, Choi Hyena seemed to have sorted out her thoughts overnight and was no longer avoiding me.
I explained how we would handle the aftermath of the incident, trying my best not to reveal anything about the app.
“You carry an artifact around...?”
Choi Hyena stared at me as if she were watching a guy from the slums driving a sports car.
I couldn’t blame her.
While many magic tools were relatively cheap and priced for the general public, artifacts were a kind of premium item that could only be obtained as a reward from a gate or crafted by an extremely small number of brilliant artisans.
Even for a mage, it wasn’t something a man she’d treated like a beggar until recently would be carrying.
“I didn’t steal it. There were just... circumstances.”
“I was just surprised, I didn’t think you stole it.”
“Well, thanks a million. I’m moved to tears.”
Anyway, I gave her a brief summary of the Ring of Desire Reversal’s effect and how I’d dealt with what happened yesterday.
“...Sexual desire, of all things.”
“You’ll probably stay that way until I get the Wendigo off you.”
“So yesterday, that was...”
Remembering the events of the previous day, Choi Hyena’s face flushed a shade of red so deep it looked like it might explode.
Still, thanks to having her sexual urges relieved last night, she was able to maintain a relative sense of sanity.
But that was clearly a temporary fix.
[Ring of Desire Reversal]
[Target: Choi Hyena (Wendigo)]
[Reversed Desire: Murderous Intent > Sexual Desire]
The Ring of Desire Reversal was still actively reversing her desires.
As time passed and her lust built up, it was obvious she would go into heat again just like yesterday.
“Anyway, just act normal, but if you feel like you can’t hold it in, tell me immediately. If you try to endure it because you’re embarrassed, something really bad could happen.”
“...I get it!”
Even after telling an unmarried maiden to “report immediately if you feel the urge to get off,” Kang Hyun-woo remained shamelessly confident.

We were still living in the shelter we’d made under the snowy slope.
We had considered moving somewhere else since it was so cramped, but the idea was rejected because the risk was too great.
If we ran into a high-grade magical beast on the way, it would be a disaster. Besides the lack of space, it was a decent enough place to live.
The problem was that the number of magical beasts appearing around our shelter seemed to be increasing day by day.
It wasn't just my imagination; Choi Hyena felt it too.
...I hope nothing happens.
There were about three days and seventeen hours left until the gate entrance opened.
Today, exhausted from hunting the beasts that roamed around our shelter, we returned to the tent for a moment to regroup.
As we were preparing a simple meal and taking a short break, the thing I had been worried about finally happened.
“Ngh, ugh...”
She seemed to be trying to hide it, but she couldn’t fool me.
Something had been off about Choi Hyena for a while now.
Her ragged breathing and the way she was rubbing her thighs together looked just like when she had gone into heat last night.
“Hey.”
“Wh-what?”
“...”
“...Fine! I’m in heat! Happy now?!”
Like a thief caught in the act, all it took was a steady gaze to get a confession out of Choi Hyena, who had been trying to play innocent.
“Come here and sit in front of me.”
“Ugh...!!”
Watching Choi Hyena, I was beginning to learn the absolute limits of how red a human face could get.
She was turning into a human tomato.
“If you’re that embarrassed, just think of it as a medical procedure.”
“How is that supposed to work...?”
Her face looking like it would burst, Choi Hyena sat down in front of me. As if she’d given up on everything, she relaxed her body and leaned against me.
“We’ve already seen everything there is to see, anyway.”
“...You’ve never had a girlfriend, have you?”
“What the hell are you talking about? I have two.”
“Hah, if you’re going to brag, at least make it believable.”
“Believe it or not, I don’t care.”
I slowly began to undress her.
Having done it once before, it wasn’t very difficult.
“W-wait!”
“What now?”
“Y-you don’t have to take my clothes off...”
What a demanding customer, with so many requests.
I gave up on taking off her clothes.
Instead, just like yesterday, I started by slowly stroking her thighs, then slipped my hand under her dress.
She was already wet.
I continued to touch her sticky inner thighs, observing her reaction.
“Hah, haah, haah...”
Her breathing grew more ragged.
Her face had been red from the start, but now her eyes were glazing over. She was properly in heat.
I gently rubbed the mound of her pussy through her thin, ornate panties.
“Ngh, ahh... Hhng...”
Even though I was just lightly stroking her with one finger, sweet moans escaped her lips.
“If you’d just asked me to rub your pussy instead of making excuses, I would have.”
“N-noo...!”
“Saying ‘no’ with that much nasality in your voice isn’t very convincing.”
Seeing her try to hide her reaction stirred a sadistic urge in me, and I pushed her panties to the side.
I gently rolled her clit with my middle finger while rubbing her pussy with my ring finger, slowly pushing it inside.
She was so wet that the mattress was already damp from just a little touch.
“I’ll finish this quickly, so don’t try to hold back.”
“Hk, heuk, haah...”
She nodded, but the way she covered her mouth with her hand, trying to stifle her moans, was cute.
If only she were half this cute normally.
My middle finger slid up her vaginal wall, gently scraping until I found a small indentation. It was her G-spot, which gushed fluid with just a press.
“No, noo...!!”
I easily subdued Choi Hyena as she bucked her hips, trying to resist.
As I persistently scraped the G-spot I’d found without much trouble, she rewarded me with even better moans.
Sploosh, squirt, splat!
“Hnngh...?!! Unhh...!!”
She even put on a show, squirting spectacularly.
The powerful stream she shot out, as if she were peeing, flew across the tent and soaked the area near the entrance.
“Haah... haah... Hh, heuk...”
Bent over and drooling, Choi Hyena was so lewd that no other words were needed to describe her.
As I looked at her completely dazed eyes, I found myself pinching her red, swollen clit.
“Hyaaaak?!!”
Her reaction was more intense than I could have imagined.
The stimulation to her clit made her lower body tremble violently as she came again with another magnificent gush.
Even the arched line of her back looked obscene.
“Please, stooop...”
“If I finish this half-assed, you’ll just jump me again like yesterday, and that’s a pain for me. I’ll make you come just three more times, then we’ll stop.”
“N-noo... Hh, ugh?!!”
Kang Hyun-woo’s words were less a conversation and more a declaration.
Choi Hyena struggled to break free from his strong arms, but it was impossible to summon her magic while her brain was being destroyed by pleasure.
As she faced a future of being restrained and forced into successive orgasms, the memories of last night came flooding back.
She was terrified of seeing that lewd, vulgar side of herself again—the one who could think of nothing but pleasure as she repeatedly passed out from exhaustion.
Her final, desperate struggle to escape was thwarted by the thick fingers that pinched her clit and scraped the inside of her pussy.
“Hnngh...!! Unh?! K-hnngh...!! D-don’t tease my clit...!! No, no, noo...!!”
“Ugh... ungh... Nngh?!! I don’t wanna cuum...!! Hooooh...!!”
“Hh, heuk... Haaah... Please, let me goo...”

Afterward, Choi Hyena was only able to rest after coming a total of six more times in a row.
