Chapter 31, Sex Tribute - Symbiotic Relationship
Chapter 31, Sex Tribute - Symbiotic Relationship
"Huu."
A heavy iron door closed behind my back with a thud.
The stuffy air from before was gone, replaced by the cool, salty sea breeze.
But my face was still burning hot.
"Hehe."
I couldn't help but laugh.
Anyone who saw me would think I was crazy.
But there was nothing I could do about it.
My lips kept curling up.
The treasures of Korea.
Those legendary weapons—I'd touched them all with my own hands.
Not just one, but all four of them.
"You seem really happy about it, Staff Officer-nim?"
Lee Ye-na, walking beside me, asked with a smile.
I nodded vigorously.
"Of course. This is the first time I've thought coming to the Hunter Management Bureau was the right choice."
Truth be told, I wasn't a hunter, but I had a huge interest in weapons.
Not just interest—practically otaku level.
Back in school, while other kids memorized idol names, I had all the weapons used by S-rank hunters memorized, along with their features.
As an adult with a job, that passion had cooled a bit...
But today, it was reignited.
"The feel of the grip was totally different. Like magic was flowing through it or something?"
"Even sealed, the magic conductivity is top-notch."
"The moment I grabbed it, this tingle shot up from my palm—man, you could really tell it was a great weapon."
I clenched and unclenched my fist in the air, reliving the sensation.
It wasn't just some metal club.
Sealed away, but it felt alive.
I probably wouldn't get to touch them with my own hands again in my lifetime.
"Seeing you so thrilled makes me happy too, Staff Officer-nim. Worth helping you out."
Lee Ye-na smiled prettily.
Under the dim cave lighting, her face seemed to glow a little.
As we walked slowly, she leaned slightly toward me and whispered quietly.
"So, you'll definitely keep that promise from earlier, right?"
"You mean making time tonight? Of course."
I nodded.
She'd helped me sneak a feel, so the least I could do was grant a small request like that.
"Naturally. I keep my promises."
"Thanks. See you later then."
Lee Ye-na smiled contentedly and quickened her pace.
We passed through the long corridor and returned to where the other staff were waiting.
"You're back!"
"Alright, now the real work begins."
I rolled up my shirt sleeves.
The goofy grin from the weapons was wiped clean from my face.
It was time to work.
I picked up a pen and looked down at the papers the staff had spread out.
"There are quite a few mismatches between the site situation and the documents. When we went in earlier, the ground in sector 3 looked softer than expected. If we bring heavy machinery there, it'll collapse."
"Oh, we missed that. Should we reroute around it then?"
"No. Blocking that off would make the hunters have to go around. If we don't blast here, it'll take twice as long and kill all the hunters."
I drew a line with the red pen on the paper.
The staff gathered around me, listening to my explanation.
It was the job of merging the on-site reality with the desk plans.
This was what I was best at.
"Fix it like this here... And seal off the Dragon Weapon room from here."
We huddled together, tweaking it bit by bit.
If opinions differed, we talked it out; if something was missing, we filled it in.
We wandered the cave interior multiple times, measuring lengths and revising the papers over and over.
Time flew by.
Sweat poured down my forehead like rain.
My back was sticky where it clung to my shirt, but I didn't mind.
"Huu."
Before I knew it, four hours had passed.
The tattered planning document was now covered in writing.
But it was perfect now.
The site conditions and the plan matched up exactly.
This was crucial.
Plans that ignored the site always led to accidents.
"This should do it. Good work, everyone."
At my words, the tense staff members' faces lit up.
"Good work!"
"Staff Officer-nim, you're amazing. I've never seen anyone work the site this hard."
"Thanks. Let's get out of here and grab something cool to drink."
We packed up and exited the dungeon.
Stepping out of the undersea rock cave, the sun had already set.
Back at the dungeon management building, we flopped onto the office sofas.
The smell of instant coffee someone had brewed filled the room.
"Kkuu. Finally feel alive."
"The sweetness recharges my blood sugar perfectly."
Instant coffee after a long time was the best for a sugar boost.
Nothing beats coffee after finishing work.
"Honestly, we had a lot we wanted to say to HQ folks. Always sitting at desks issuing weird orders—we were dying of frustration."
"Yeah. They don't know jack about the site but keep sending papers."
"Compared to those guys, Staff Officer Gyeong-ho is definitely different."
"Haha, thanks. That's why I incorporated all the site opinions into this plan."
The pent-up stories flowed back and forth.
Talking openly about the hardships of site work and the Management Bureau's perspective, the sunset had turned the sky red before we knew it.
"Time's gotten this late already."
"We really appreciate it today, Staff Officer-nim. You lifted a huge weight off us."
"No, you all worked hard too."
I stood and shook hands with the staff one by one.
Their rough hands told me how much they'd toiled.
Finally, it was Lee Ye-na's turn.
She took my hand and, without drawing attention from the others, leaned in slightly toward me.
"Check my text later for sure."
Her whisper tickled my ear.
I signaled with my eyes that I got it, keeping cool.
We'd already exchanged numbers, and I'd told her exactly which hotel I was staying at.
"Take care then."
"Yes. Good work."
I got into the rental car after leaving the building.
The AC blasted as I started the engine, cooling my sweat.
I drove along the red-tinted seaside road toward the hotel.
As soon as I arrived at the hotel, I headed to the bathroom.
Hot water washed away the day's fatigue and sweat.
"Ah, forgot to buy milk."
Only remembered after finishing the shower.
Typical me...
After showering, my whole body felt languid.
Too lazy to go buy milk.
I roughly dried off and slipped into the hotel's white bathrobe.
Tied the belt loosely and sat on the bed.
"Hmm. Hungry."
Come to think of it, I hadn't eaten lunch either.
Too lazy to go down to the restaurant though.
I picked up the phone and ordered Room Service.
A simple burger set.
After ordering, I lay on the bed staring at the ceiling when my phone buzzed.
Jiing—
The screen showed Lee Ye-na's name.
[I'm at the door.]
[Open up please.]
Faster than expected.
I got up and went to the entrance.
No need to check who—no one else knew.
"Come on in."
Lee Ye-na stood outside the door.
But her outfit was unexpected.
Not the drab work clothes or stiff suit from earlier.
A figure-hugging dress with a light outer layer—casual clothes.
Light makeup, and she smelled like shampoo.
Looked like she'd showered too.
"Pardon the intrusion."
She stepped carefully into the room.
As the door closed, the room instantly became our private space.
Lee Ye-na looked around the spacious room with curious eyes.
"Nice room. Isn't it too big for one person?"
"Well, sometimes you gotta stay in places like this. Company card anyway."
Lee Ye-na set her bag on the table.
I sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her.
"So, what's the reason you asked for my time tonight? Not work stuff, right?"
When I asked directly, Lee Ye-na hesitated for a moment.
But then, as if resolved, she bit her lip.
"It's nothing much."
Her hand went to the buttons of her outer layer.
Srrrrk.
The outer layer slipped to the floor.
She looked straight into my eyes and pulled down the zipper of her dress.
"Uh, Ye-na-ssi?"
I got a bit flustered.
Stripping right away? Even if...
She didn't answer, sliding the dress down her shoulders.
It flowed down her legs, pooling on the floor.
Her body in white underwear came into view.
Not an ounce of fat—a toned figure.
As expected from an ex-hunter, perfect body management.
"What are you doing right now?"
"What it looks like."
Without hesitation, she reached back and unhooked her bra.
Snap—the straps came loose, and her breasts jiggled free.
The panties took less than three seconds.
In an instant, a fully naked Lee Ye-na stood before me.
Pink nipples and pink pussy.
So erotic I didn't know where to look.
"Khm."
I coughed involuntarily.
Under the bathrobe, my dick was already more honest than me, reacting hard.
Stiff enough to tent the robe.
I forced myself to meet her eyes calmly.
"Mind telling me why the sudden striptease?"
"Lee Gyeong-ho Staff Officer-nim. I'm here to offer you sex tribute."
So bold, I had nothing to say.
Don't people usually beat around the bush?
"No... In this world, what 7th-grade civil servant offers sex tribute to a 9th-grader? Rank-wise, you're higher."
At my words, Lee Ye-na gave a wry smile.
"What's rank matter? Real power—who has it—that's what counts."
She took another step toward me.
"Staff Officer-nim, you've got full authority on this S-Class Dungeon, right? Succeed, and promotion's guaranteed."
"Well... will I really get promoted that soon?"
"And you have the power to add my name to the planning document credits."
Spot on.
Submitting the approval docs to Team Leader-nim was my job.
If her name was on it...
She'd get proper evaluation later.
Producing an S-Class Dungeon?
How huge would that merit be?
Even I couldn't imagine.
"True. It's within my authority."
"That's it."
Lee Ye-na's eyes shone desperately.
"I'll be straight. I want to go back to Seoul."
"Seoul...?"
Right—she'd said she was originally a Seoul civil servant.
No idea what happened, but got posted to Jeju Island.
A woman who grew up in Seoul, hunted in Seoul, became a civil servant in Seoul—demoted to Jeju.
Not even Jeju City or Seogwipo, but stuck in some rural backwater.
"I don't want to rot in this rural dungeon management office. So I'm doing what I can now."
She straightened up, displaying her naked body.
My gaze naturally went to her nipples and pussy.
"I felt it when you came to the site and checked everything meticulously."
"..."
"This guy's different. If I latch onto him, I can climb back up."
Her voice trembled slightly.
"Just get me back to Seoul, and my body is yours anytime. Even if it's just a flesh-only relationship, I'll accept."
She looked truly desperate.
Seemed like she'd do anything to return to Seoul.
I stared into her eyes and asked.
"Have you... done this sex tribute thing with other civil servants too?"
She shook her head hard at my question.
"No. You're the first, Staff Officer-nim. Never been with a man."
"What?"
"I said first. I'm a virgin."
Unexpected.
Figured an ex-hunter beauty like her had tons of experience.
Betting her virginity on the deal.
Meant she was that desperate.
Honestly, denying attraction would be a lie.
Pretty girl naked in front of me, offering anything.
'But.'
I didn't feel like jumping her right then.
Met today, straight to bed? Too fast, no?
Plus, she might see me as an easy guy controllable with her body.
More than that, what's fun about it with someone I've known less than a day?
Need some emotional connection, getting to know each other.
Just doing it is boring.
'Hmm...'
But I couldn't just send Lee Ye-na away like this either.
Turning away someone who came on her own accord? Rude.
Wasted opportunity for someone offering sex tribute.
"Hm."
I rubbed my chin, pretending to think.
Lee Ye-na held her breath, waiting for my answer like her life depended on it.
I stood from the bed and approached her.
She stayed at attention, naked.
"Fine. I get the deal terms."
I extended my hand to her.
For a handshake.
"During this planning phase, can you handle Jeju-side operations flawlessly? So I don't have to worry."
"Of course. I'll stake my life on it."
"Hate empty words."
"Watch me. I can do it for real. Anything you order."
Lee Ye-na's eyes sparkled as she answered.
I smirked and said.
"Alright. If you keep satisfying me till the end, I'll add your name to the plan. Talk to Team Leader-nim, push for your Seoul return too."
At that, she covered her mouth, moved.
Then knelt on the floor.
Bare knees hit the ground.
"Thank you! Truly, thank you, Staff Officer-nim!"
She bowed, forehead to the floor.
Naked kowtow.
Kinda weird thrill.
"Enough, get up. It's embarrassing."
She lifted her head at my gesture.
Then her eyes naturally drifted downward.
The bathrobe had parted, my hard dick peeking out.
Her pupils shook.
First time seeing a guy's, mix of shock and curiosity.
I didn't cover it.
Instead, I shrugged off the robe, baring my upper body too.
"Ye-na-ssi. You said you came for sex tribute, right?"
"Yes. Even planning to give you my virginity."
I stepped forward to her kneeling face.
My dick right at her eye level.
"Thing is, I have no intention of fucking you right now."
"I-I figured... Sorry."
"We barely know each other yet, right? That can come after things develop more."
"..."
"But you've unilaterally done me favors."
She'd violated cultural heritage laws, Hunter Law, major stuff.
Wouldn't get punished for letting me touch the Dragon Weapons...
But she needed something to hold over me for her goal.
Insurance against betrayal.
"How about this. Not full sex tribute—just simple quasi-sexual act, fellatio."
"Fellatio...? The mouth thing, right?"
"Yeah. That seals the contract between us. Symbiotic relationship."
Ye-na-ssi let me touch the Dragon Weapons.
And she'll bust her ass at the Dragon's Tomb site for me.
I'll credit her for that, helping her enter Seoul HQ.
The fellatio sex tribute key ensures I don't screw her over.
"Since it's my first... H-how do I do it with my mouth?"
"Just put it in and roll it around."
Lee Ye-na casually gripped my dick with her hand.
Felt the warm temperature, swallowed hard.
She grabbed my thigh.
Slowly parted her lips.
Warm breath touched it.
"Haa..."
She tentatively stuck out her tongue, licking the tip flick flick.
First time, so not great.
But that clumsiness aroused me more.
A virgin sucking a guy's dick for the first time in her life.
Lee Ye-na squeezed her eyes shut and took it deep into her mouth.
"Chuup, churup..."
The thick thing entered her narrow mouth.
Her cheeks hollowed.
I grabbed her head and moved my hips.
"That's it. Deeper."
"Eup, uueup...!"
Lee Ye-na was giving her all to satisfy me.
Before long, my dick reached her throat.
Tears beaded at her eye corners.
But she didn't pull away.
She rolled her tongue and opened her throat to take it, determined to please.
"Huu, haa..."
Felt better and better.
I gripped her hair harder.
Soft strands slipped between my fingers.
"You're damn good. For a first-timer..."
"Uup, chuup, churup."
Instead of answering, she worked her tongue harder.
Licked the base, stroked with her hand.
Like she'd seen it somewhere, pretty diligent.
Getting close.
Tension in my hips, legs shaking.
"Gonna cum, so don't open your mouth. It'll spill."
"Uueup!"
I moved faster.
Her moans muffled, garbled in her mouth.
Limit now.
"Cumming."
Hot semen flooded her mouth.
Spurt, spurt.
Kept coming.
Her eyes went wide, but she gulped it all down.
"Hueup..."
Took every last drop without spilling.
Panting, I pulled out of her mouth.
White cum dribbled from her lips.
"Tasty?"
At my teasing question, she blushed but licked her lips and answered.
"Yes. Because it's yours, Staff Officer-nim... it's tasty."
"Then with this, the contract's sealed. Looking forward to working with you."
"Yes... Thank you."
Lee Ye-na nodded, face slightly flushed.
Thus, our mutually exploitative symbiotic relationship was complete.
