Chapter 47. Do you think that's easy?
Chapter 47. Do you think that's easy?
It's true that Im Da-eun, with her penalty alleviated, is a scary and dangerous creature, but in the end, the task I have to do hasn't changed.
Training Im Da-eun.
It's impossible to shove my cock into Im Da-eun's pussy right now and make her cry out ang-ang. That could lead to a catastrophe where my head gets blown off, so all I could do was be as careful as a blind man touching an elephant and just talk to her.
"Don't you feel resentful when your crew members leave you behind and go to the Gate by themselves?"
"Huh? Ahahaha. Still, well. What can I do? It's not like I can show a performance like today's right away. After all, the penalty being alleviated is because of the drink you gave me, right? It's impossible during crew activities, so what can I do?"
"Even so, that's still... Honestly, it's because of my ability, but I was stunned when I saw you send that Orc flying with a body check, Da-eun-ssi. Even the Orc that was coming with it was startled and stared."
"That guy did?"
"How absurd must it have been for it to just stare blankly while its friend went flying? Though, it was understandable why it was dumbfounded."
Im Da-eun giggled. She didn't seem to be in a bad mood. I suppose that's only natural. Even though her ability awakened, Im Da-eun is the type of person whose life became even tougher because of the penalty. What's the point of having great power? She can't use it. From Im Da-eun's perspective, I thought the world might look like it's made of cookies. Because if she gets distracted for a moment and applies force, it would feel like it would just crumble.
Of course, because of those difficulties, it's good for me.
"I felt complicated because you seemed so excited today."
"You? Why?"
"Because I felt like I understood what kind of position you're in within the crew."
"Ah... ahahaha..."
The atmosphere becomes a bit awkward. But wouldn't that be irrelevant? I said it like this on purpose.
Anyway, Im Da-eun's ability is hard to use properly in Lee Si-woo's crew. There's no way to solve the penalty. According to Choi Yeon-ju's explanation, it seems she just acts as a meat shield using her stronger-than-average durability, but no matter how much of a 'tough unni' image Im Da-eun has, I think being a meat shield is a bit too much.
'That doesn't seem like something someone who is hitting on her to make her a sow slave should say.'
Shut up. My inner Choi Yeon-ju. It's true, but isn't that better than being a meat shield? No. Is it similar?
"I guess I'll also feel more frustrated than before due to crew activities."
"You, Da-eun-ssi?"
"Of course. Obviously. If I hadn't known at all, it wouldn't matter, but I've already tasted your ability. I'm incredibly anxious about the effect disappearing as soon as I part ways with you."
"I hadn't even thought of that."
Im Da-eun smiled sheepishly and scratched her cheek. Thinking about it, it's impossible not to understand. If the efficacy of the pre-cum disappears, wouldn't Im Da-eun return to her usual state? With a body that has a penalty where she even has to be careful when walking.
This won't do. I feel so bad for her that I can't just sit still.
I have to train her as soon as possible and fill her uterus with my semen every single day to make her body free of penalties!
"Your ability is also a bit of a pity. If you disappear from sight, the manufactured drink also loses its effect."
"Could that also be considered a penalty?"
"Wouldn't it be? Though, if you could just make and sell Sensory Amplification drinks like crazy, you would have become filthy rich, so maybe it's fortunate?"
"Fortunate?"
"Because you came out to pick herbs, I was able to meet you, right?"
Keu.
She's so adorable it makes me want to pat her head...!
Of course, since pre-cum isn't an ability, once I put it in and make it, as long as it doesn't spoil, she could get a similar effect whenever she consumes it. This means if I make it now and hand it to her, Im Da-eun could also be active in Lee Si-woo's crew.
But is there any need for me to do that? If that happens, Im Da-eun, with her penalty alleviated, would just end up taking on an important role in Lee Si-woo's crew. Right now, at least we have the excuse of picking herbs together, but if that happened, I thought she wouldn't try to pick herbs, but rather try to trade with me.
Because Im Da-eun would just have to buy my pre-cum while doing crew activities and that would be it.
I can't let that happen.
Im Da-eun needs to compare hanging out with me and her crew activities with Lee Si-woo. Personally.
If she experiences being treated like a cold leftover in Lee Si-woo's crew due to her flawed ability with a penalty, and then takes on a leading role while hanging out with me, wouldn't she have a massive reality check?
While I'm at it, I hope her personality gets a bit sharper too.
Im Da-eun is too nice, so it doesn't match her image.
Later, when Im Seo-yoon's training is finished, the three of us will hang out together.
Then there will be no need for Im Da-eun to be in Lee Si-woo's crew.
ㅡ
The money we earned after coming out of the Gate was a bit more than when we met last time. This was because the herbs that grow in places where herb gatherers can't enter had slightly higher prices depending on the type. Now that I knew well how strong of an ability user Im Da-eun becomes when her penalty disappears, it was only natural that Im Da-eun, who wants a relaxed wallet situation, and I, who want to train such an Im Da-eun, would set the next appointment.
Next time, I'll feed her more pre-cum than this time, so the penalty will be alleviated even more.
"Did you say you were going to sow discord?"
"Yeah. I fed her today and she was flying around. The Orc was flying through the sky, you know?"
"Hmm. It seems the effect is better than I thought. Didn't she get aroused?"
I fall into thought at Choi Yeon-ju's question. She did get excited. Because she experienced her body moving freely. But it wasn't sexual arousal.
"She did. If that cripple stands on two legs, she'd be excited, wouldn't she?"
"It seems it wasn't enough for sexual arousal. Anyway, since you'll increase the amount, it's actually better."
"I'm planning to put in a little more next time."
"If you keep increasing it little by little like that, eventually you'll soak her pussy until it's squelchy."
"Hehehe."
I'm fucking looking forward to it.
I can imagine Im Da-eun whining because her pussy is wet, trying not to get caught.
Because of that, my cock stood up straight.
"Ugh. Why are you suddenly getting a hard-on and acting like a jerk?"
Choi Yeon-ju, who was lying next to me, was horrified. It was almost to the level of having a seizure. But I didn't even pay attention to Choi Yeon-ju, who was disgusted. It was because I was admiring the majesty of my cock, which was asserting itself by pushing away the thin blanket.
"The more I look at it, the filthily big it is."
"Calm it down quickly. It's lifting my panties, ugh... fucking hell..."
A pungent smell started to waft around. Hmm. I'm used to it to some extent now, so it's not to the point where I'm gagging too. Seeing Choi Yeon-ju suffering next to me is also a treat. I watched Choi Yeon-ju gagging while giggling, and then, since it calmed down because I wasn't doing anything, I twisted my body to adjust the position of my cock.
I couldn't grab it with my hand. Because it smelled.
"Ugh. Ugh...!"
Choi Yeon-ju, who was lying on the bed, got up and opened the window wide. It must be to ventilate since the bedroom was filled with the smell. Then she came back to the bed, snatched the blanket I was covering myself with, and shook it out vigorously.
"Argh! Why are you doing that!"
"Isn't it obvious that the smell would be trapped inside the blanket? Ugh! Ough! Ugh....!"
Seeing her suffering to that extent, I felt that deciding not to change the smell was a very good decision. It was difficult to annoy Choi Yeon-ju with my words, but I had found a way to do it physically.
It felt like my stress was completely relieved.
After a few minutes of ventilation, the smell had definitely faded a lot. Only then did Choi Yeon-ju, who had finally calmed down, lie back on the bed, panting as if she were exhausted from shaking the blanket.
"Anyway, ahem. Phew... sowing discord was the right thing to do."
"Right? Anyway, once I start training Im Da-eun, it's true that I have to pull her out eventually."
"That is correct. However, we need to change the method a little."
"Huh? How?"
"You shouldn't be the one starting the discord, you should make it so that Im Da-eun is the one complaining."
"Oh?"
"You just need to empathize. Didn't I tell you last time? Originally, whether it's gaslighting or suggestion, anything has a greater effect when the person involved realizes and admits it themselves. Because that's the answer they came up with in their own head. Do you know about Ripley Syndrome?"
"I've only heard the name."
"It's a state where one believes in the lies they made up themselves. In fact, it's not really a mental illness, nor is it something that can be called a syndrome, but if you look at it based on gaslighting or suggestion, it's not that either."
"What is it not?"
"Because that's because you can consider making them like that as the ultimate goal of suggestion and gaslighting."
"Hmm..."
"You know what a 'mental victory' is, right?"
I know 'mental victory' well. It's similar to self-rationalization. Pretending to be fine even though you lost. Because there are many people on the internet who insist they won.
"Hypnosis, brainwashing, in the end, they are all methods to induce mental victory. Gaslighting is the same. And as you know, mental victory isn't something others create for you. You do it yourself."
"Make Im Da-eun achieve a mental victory?"
"That's just one example. Anyway, it means you just have to make Im Da-eun admit that she thought and judged for herself."
"Like, that being with me is better than being in Lee Si-woo's crew?"
"That's right. Shall we go into a bit more detail?"
Choi Yeon-ju said that and paused for a moment.
Naturally, since she paused, I had no choice but to focus on Choi Yeon-ju. Choi Yeon-ju smirked when she saw me just waiting for an answer, and then opened her mouth.
"Rather than volunteering for the role of a meat shield within Lee Si-woo's crew, sucking Seong Byeong-jin's cock while beating monsters to death is a happier life."
Hmm.
That turns me on.
Boing.
"Argh! Fuck! Your cock again!"
Choi Yeon-ju was horrified, jumped up from the bed, and ran to the window.
Still, seeing that she now calls it a 'cock' (jaji) instead of a 'little pepper' (gochu), I felt a bit proud because it seemed like she was acknowledging it as a cock, not a little pepper, after the size modification.
