Chapter Title: Unchanging Love-8
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I called for Lee Yu-jin. Since she was waiting not far away, it didn't take much time.
"Did you convince my wife? Then..."
"Shut up and come in first. Let's talk."
Their love was undoubtedly noble and beautiful. But it was just as frustrating.
I couldn't help but wonder how two such similar people had ended up together.
"Honey?"
"Yun-seul-ah..."
Lee Yu-jin seemed unwilling to show her lover the sight of herself as a woman, keeping her head bowed low. Not that I was sure Kim Yun-seul could even "see" a person in the ordinary sense right now.
"Apologize to each other first."
"Pardon?"
"I said apologize."
Yu-jin tilted her head in confusion.
"Um... I'm sorry, Yun-seul-ah."
I widened my eyes.
"Yun-seul-ssi, you apologize to Yu-jin-ssi too."
"A-apologize?"
"Quickly."
"S-sorry! Yu-jin-ssi!"
The two bowed their heads toward each other without knowing why. Kim Yun-seul didn't have a proper head left to bow, but the atmosphere was about right.
"Kim Yun-seul-ssi. You know Lee Yu-jin loves you, right?"
"...Yes."
"Think about how important it is to her for you to return to normal and live an ordinary happy life."
"But-"
"Imagine how unhappy she'd be if that fails. Shut your mouth. Quickly."
Lee Yu-jin gave me a bitter smile and bowed her head.
"Thank you."
I didn't respond to her words. I just spoke what I had to say.
"You know too, right? How much Yun-seul-ssi loves you."
"I know... I know. I have to repay that love with everything I have-"
"Don't think about repayment for now. Think about how important it is to Yun-seul-ssi."
"Pardon?"
"Feel her feelings! She wants to give you pure love, even if it means enduring pain or sacrificing her life! How precious that is to her!"
Lee Yu-jin fell silent.
"Ha..."
The two were extremely selfless. And at the same time, ridiculously selfish.
They weren't looking at themselves—they were looking only at each other.
They only thought of the other's wounds, the other's happiness, the other's future.
That's why they couldn't realize how precious and important it was to the other that they were giving their love.
Like good brothers who emptied their own granaries every night to fill someone else's, they were tearing off their own flesh and soul to fill each other's hearts.
That's why their conversation kept going in circles.
Lee Yu-jin wanted Kim Yun-seul's future and happy life, while Kim Yun-seul only wanted Lee Yu-jin to be loved.
"Um..."
Perhaps having realized something, Lee Yu-jin's body was trembling.
Kim Yun-seul was the same.
Her flesh quivered, and fluids dripped from the wall. The sight itself was quite grotesque, but I no longer found it frightening.
She was just in pain.
Just feeling the pain of her lover wanting to steal her away, yet still wishing for her lover's happiness despite that.
A long silence flowed. Lee Yu-jin spoke first.
"I'm sorry, honey."
"No. Yu-jin-ssi. I'm more sorry. I knew how much you loved me, but... I tried to make it easy for myself alone. Selfishly."
"No. I was the same. I thought you ended up like this because of me, that you'd be happy if I just wasn't around... That's why I could say such harsh words so casually. I'm sorry. I apologize sincerely."
Lee Yu-jin hugged Kim Yun-seul. It looked like throwing her body into a lump of flesh, but their love was still noble and beautiful.
'Looks like things are sorted for now.'
Now the decision was in their hands. It would be overstepping for me to say anything more.
In the end, Kim Yun-seul might choose death. Or she might choose to survive as my slave.
But if the two pondered it together, whatever choice they made wouldn't be the worst.
"Thank you. My mind is clearer now."
"Pardon?"
The Black Warden seemed to have returned.
A hero with cold, reliable eyes, like when she fought the grotesque lifeform to protect me, stood by my side.
"I want to discuss technical matters. Seong-ha-ssi. I have questions about your abilities. Is that possible?"
"Is it okay to talk about that right now?"
I glanced at Kim Yun-seul.
"It's fine. I trust him."
Her voice was still chilling, but it carried Yun-seul's trust.
"In that case... Yes. Yu-jin-ssi. Ask away."
"If my wife enters a sex slave contract with you, she won't be able to refuse when you give sexual orders."
"Yes."
"And due to the NTR Prevention ability, she won't be able to feel sexual excitement through anyone else. Correct so far?"
"Exactly."
"Is there anything else that affects the mind?"
"Hold on."
I organized my thoughts.
"Not for now. The traits I've chosen so far are all about enhancing my physical abilities... boosting stamina, increasing cock size, or stimulating the partner's sensitivity."
"Is that all?"
"Not certain. The 'Master of the Female' ability itself is extremely rare, so data hasn't accumulated enough."
Traits couldn't be fully explained by the text in the selection menu.
"Slaves might develop affection toward me. I can't be sure. Can't tell where natural affection ends and ability-induced begins. Data's insufficient too."
Lee Ha-seon, Baek Se-ra. Only two people affected by my ability so far.
Both good people, no separate lovers, no reason to dislike me.
"Understood. Any other variables?"
"Sex will probably make them like me more... Pleasure's no small thing."
A dad coming home from work and nagging gets hated. One bringing chicken gets loved. The dad's face naturally links to the chicken's pleasure in the kid's brain.
Same for me. Can't help liking Lee Ha-seon more from embracing her. Can't help loving Baek Se-ra more each time I blackmail and enjoy her.
"Is intercourse forced?"
"Probably not. Fine as long as my sex slave doesn't pick libido-related traits."
"...A shame. Restoring my wife's body requires quite a few points, and libido-related penalties are mandatory."
Lee Yu-jin nodded seriously.
"Let me rephrase the question. NTR Prevention. How far does 'unable to feel sexual pleasure from anyone but the master or permitted persons' extend?"
"Could you be more specific?"
"Masturbation with fingers or tools. What happens then?"
"Not completely numb. But limited. If I order 'masturbate,' she gets more aroused though."
This had some data. Both Lee Ha-seon and Baek Se-ra struggled with it.
"Depends on your involvement?"
"Yes. If I'm present, masturbation, tools, poses, etc., can satisfy fully. Even more if I command directly."
"Then could that 'tool' include humans?"
Now I got what she was thinking.
"Never tried."
No 3P experience. Both busy, schedules never aligned.
"But possible. NTR Prevention specifies 'master or persons permitted by master' exactly."
"Thank you for answering."
Lee Yu-jin bowed slightly and looked at Kim Yun-seul.
"I want to become Seong-ha-nim's slave together. What do you think?"
Yun-seul cried out.
"Y-you don't have to go through that because of me-"
"I want to be with you."
Yu-jin smiled brightly.
"If Seong-ha-nim permits... If he orders it, we can embrace each other again. I want to feel the same sensations as you then."
"Really...?"
"Yes. No matter what, I love you. I believe you love me too. And even if one day our feelings for Seong-ha-nim grow stronger than for each other... We'll still be together then."
The conclusion was reached.
In truth, the answer itself wasn't anything grand. Maybe destined since Yu-jin became a woman.
But it was different.
At first, Yu-jin saw her body as a means. To betray Yun-seul, hurt her to ease guilt, become my sex slave. Not to do something together.
Though unspoken, she might have felt guilt toward Yun-seul. For ruining her normal life, making her live as another man's sex slave—the culprit was herself.
That's why she couldn't think of doing something together. Believed she should vanish from Yun-seul's sight, that her new master would make Yun-seul happy instead.
Kim Yun-seul was the same.
If trapped in pressure to give pure love even in death, she wouldn't agree to this till the end.
Now it was different.
Knowing time together—even changed—was more important than anything, they could decide.
"Together..."
"Yeah. Let's look at the same place."
"I'm happy..."
It was beautiful.
"I'll go first. Seong-ha-ssi. Can you make me, Lee Yu-jin, your sex slave?"
"You'll become my slave and accept all my sexual demands."
"Understood."
"You can't feel sexual excitement from relations with anyone but me or those I permit."
"Doesn't matter."
I could feel her trust in me.
Whatever plan Yu-jin had, the moment the contract formed, her fate was in my hands.
I could forbid her loving Yun-seul, monopolize her. Ridiculous, but with just my cock, corrupting her wouldn't be hard.
Still, she trusted me.
"Then you are now my slave."
Mana stirred. The contract bound her like rope.
"Yes."
Lee Yu-jin was still smiling.
"Then, is it my turn now?"
Kim Yun-seul looked at me.
