Repaying the Favor (1)
"Ughhh..."
I was so out of it. I clearly remember finishing the training exercise and heading back to the kids...
"Ahhk...!"
"Open your eyes. Don't get up. The energy inside you hasn't settled yet."
It was Yeryung's voice, drifting quietly into my ear. Only then did I start to feel my surroundings.
"...Thank you."
"Forget thank you. Didn't I tell you not to use it?"
Ah, right. I'd burned through the last of my Hand of Heaven on the final charge and collapsed.
"..."
Once I gathered my wits, what I felt was a warm energy wrapping around the part of me that had been writhing in pain.
Before long, I realized it was the Earth element—toji—that Yeryung had injected into me.
But the problem was that I still didn't have the ability to handle the Earth element myself. Even this power that isolated the other energies like a fence was entirely under her control. So her measures were only a temporary fix.
"Accept it. Just like the other energies, it needs to settle stably inside your body."
—Hmmmmmm...
The Earth element she added didn't get absorbed. It was devoured whole by my other energies, like a failed organ transplant. The things inside me were rejecting the newly injected Earth element.
"...The energy is getting eaten up, though?"
"It's getting eaten up?"
"Literally. I tossed it in between your other energies and it vanished in an instant."
This hadn't been in Yeryung's expectations. She probably thought it would just be a matter of her passing along the energy she'd carefully gathered, and me absorbing it properly.
"Try again. The measures you just took didn't work, did they?"
"That one absorbed fine too. That's not my energy—it's Yeryung's."
"The other energies took them in just fine. Why is this one..."
My head was a mess. Energies that had already gone berserk weren't going to calm down just from a temporary block.
—CLANG!
"Hwahyeon, how did you receive energy from the other kids?"
"..."
She grabbed my shoulder and asked, but I couldn't say a word.
"That's no time to be sitting around. You have to find a solution, don't you?"
"...That's..."
"Tell me. What secret can't you say between us?"
She asked desperately. All of this was for my sake, and yet I was trying to slip away with the excuse of being embarrassed.
"...Don't take it the wrong way."
"Whatever it is, your safety comes first. Just say it."
Oh... do I really have to say this?
"Sex."
"...?"
"When you do it with the kids... if you go at it all night, this happens."
"Wha— what...?!"
"You said it was okay to talk about it, didn't you, Yeryung?"
"Hwahyeon, if you're doing it with all of them..."
"Yes."
Yeryung stared at me as if she couldn't believe it. The longer she kept staring, the more I replayed what I'd said and the more embarrassed I became.
"...There has to be another way."
"..."
Even I thought it was ridiculous. I needed a realistic solution right now, not to scramble my mind with this kind of crude talk.
"Don't worry about it too much..."
"No. There's no time to waste looking for other solutions. The moment the temporary barrier I set up collapses, your body will be destroyed again, won't it?"
"Huh?"
What is she even talking about right now?
"No, right now..."
"Hopeful thoughts about there being another way aren't necessary. There's a surefire method. Why take the long way around?"
"..."
"What are you hesitating for? To me, Hwahyeon, you're the most precious person in the world."
Yeryung stepped forward with deadly seriousness. After all, all of this was for me, so she wore a calm expression as if there was nothing to be awkward about.
But her reddening skin betrayed the awareness that this was definitely heading in an embarrassing direction.
"For now, think of it as being with someone else, not me. Yeah—just think of it as sharing a bed with Cheonghwa."
"...Yes."
Even those words were probably meant to ease my burden.
After all, even if it's for treatment, intercourse between a man and a woman assumes that both parties' consent aligns.
"So, what do I do and how?"
"...First, take your clothes off."
"Hnn...! Fine."
—Snip! Rustle rustle...
The sound of fabric brushing against skin. With a tense expression, I pulled off my blazer and started unbuttoning my shirt.
"How embarrassing. I never thought I'd be in this state in front of you..."
"Then I'll take mine off too."
"..."
I stripped off my clothes as well. Compared to what was about to happen, seeing each other naked wasn't that big a deal.
"Heh... You've grown so much. In every way."
"Ah."
—ERECTION!!!
The moment I saw her completely exposed, I couldn't help it—I was already hard.
"But... you're a fox who bewitches men. What am I supposed to do about that."
"...Hwahyeon, you've been hanging around that perverted Saintess and learned bad language. I didn't raise you like this..."
She said that, but her hands didn't stop. Soon she lay bare before me, wearing nothing but a single petal.
"Ugh... How did it come to this..."
—SPLAT!
"...!"
Just that sight alone was enough to make my cock swell to its limit. The Yeryung before me wasn't the dignified woman of the Academy anymore—she was just a woman tense before the wilderness.
"T-that goes in? How does that..."
"Yeryung, are you still a virgin—"
"Hey!"
Was she really a virgin? And she'd lived this long?
"Stop thinking about my age. It's an extremely disrespectful assumption."
"Ah. Yes."
"It's said that fox spirits like me who miss the True Fox's vigor are at a disadvantage, but that's not a universal rule for the entire species. Fox spirits don't only grow stronger by feeding on others' lust—some build up their spiritual power through other means, and the moment their tails reach nine, they're called gumiho. Only after gaining recognition from a divine being do they become cheonho. All the other fox spirits are gone now because of the war, but the idea that such lewd rumors apply to every individual is simply not true!"
"...I'm sorry."
I didn't even know what was wrong with being a virgin. Yeryung kept talking, trying to explain her own situation.
"Hmm... Anyway, I have absolutely no sexual experience, so if you could take the lead a little..."
"Then first, spread your legs, Yeryung."
"Forget that term of address. Since we're not related by blood and it feels like incest, it's terribly awkward."
"Then what should I call you?"
The honorific I'd called her my whole life was now forbidden. She was still someone who would stay by my side, now and forever. I needed some kind of name I could call her.
"...Call me by my name."
"Really?"
"Yes. Look me in the eye and call me 'Yeoryeong.'"
"I can't just—"
"Do it. You can even use informal speech. For a lowborn fox spirit like me to receive honorifics from you is absurd to begin with."
Even that was sincere. Right now, Yeryung—no, Yeoryeong—was telling me to treat her comfortably.
"...Alright, Yeoryeong."
"...❤️"
Her breath changed. From the moment I called her by her name, warm air charged with excitement—beyond embarrassment—spilled from her lips.
I still wasn't used to it, but...
—Hhhhhhh...
Yeoryeong inhaled deeply. I was sweating a little, which might have been unpleasant, but...
"Tha— that's it... this is it..."
...Apparently not. Her body had loosened up absurdly.
"Hm?"
When I slid my hand down, her pussy was already wet through. What the hell was going on?
Whatever. It meant I didn't have to leave my aching cock out in the open any longer.
"I'm going to put it in now, Yeo— no, Yeoryeong."
"Mm..."
No foreplay needed. It felt like it would wrap all the way around to the root on its own.
—FWOOOOSH!
"Hhhhhaaah...!"
"Krrrrgh...!"
I couldn't put it into words. Out of the five women I'd been with, this was the first pussy that wrapped around me with such perfect balance.
"This feels strange... Hwahyeon, have you been doing this your whole life...?"
Her tone had changed. The haughty tone she usually wore now sounded like a woman dripping with honey.
"Yeryung, your voice sounds different... Gah!"
Her pussy clenched hard in an instant. The sensation of being pressed down by the walls was more painful than I'd ever imagined.
"Use my name. Informal speech."
"Y-Yeoryeong! This is... too much...!!"
"Good ❤️"
If I kept calling her Yeryung and being rough, my cock would get flattened. I'd have to be careful from now on...
"...Should I move?"
"Do whatever you want. I gave you permission, after all..."
I thrust my hips deeper. Then I felt something.
"You really were a virgin."
"Do you dislike it? I was a useless virgin anyway. It's better for me to at least get some experience this way."
—FWOOOOSH!!
"Hiii... it feels so weird... it's reaching all the way into my belly...!"
I pushed past the faint hymen without caring and drove it all the way to the root. Fortunately, unlike Jinyul, there was no incident of having to push into the uterus.
"I c— can't... I'm the Academy principal and an S-rank hunter... if I find out about this kind of thing..."
"Just enjoy the moment!"
—PAANG! BAM! BAM! BAM!
"Aaahhhh... urgh...!"
The thrusts grew more intense. Both of us—me and Yeoryeong—lost our composure, breathing hot air.
"Hhah... I'm going to...!"
"Stay inside...! It's fine if you finish inside, so keep going...!"
She wrapped her arms around me tightly. As if I could never pull away, she held me so tightly I couldn't budge.
—Gurgle! Glurgle! Brrrr!
"HIIIIEEEEE!!!"
In the end, I came inside her.
...If Il Lena found out, she'd scream at me to use contraception again.
