They Only Target Women
They only go after women. If you don't appreciate a man's pure devotion, he'll turn into a total thug. Sure, after it's all over, he might make excuses like, "Hey, loving someone isn't a crime, right?!"
But did I ever have that kind of pure devotion for Kim Chaerin?
"Hehehehe…."
I had no idea why my lower half went limp just seeing Kim Chaerin's signature innocent smile. There she was, a single woman who'd been fed all the wrong sex ed by that geezer elf Iris without knowing a thing, grinning at me so brightly—and I just couldn't smile back. Sure, part of it was that I'd already popped one off, dialing down my lust, but more than that, I'd just faced her untainted mind moments ago and scrapped any thoughts of diving into her secret spots.
"Ugh… um… I'm ready now—"
Kim Chaerin and Iris were mentally linked. Their thoughts might differ, but they shared every bodily sensation. From the look of her now, it really seemed like she wanted me too. No clue why, though. I knew Kim Chaerin, but we'd only met yesterday. This rocket-speed relationship progression left me full of doubts.
Anyway, I shook out the clothes she'd left on the ground and handed them over one by one. Starting with those slutty panties.
"...???"
She stared at me with eyes full of question marks, so I said, "What kind of kid runs around in panties this lewd?!"
"Eh… ehhh?!"
"Put 'em on quick!"
Slipping into those see-through panties somehow felt even lewder than when she was naked, but I averted my eyes and passed over the rest of her clothes.
"I'll be outside, so hurry up and get dressed!"
God, I wanted to hook my arm under her knees right then, hoist her up, devour that gorgeous straight-line pussy like a madman, then drop down and slam straight in—pounding away with wet shlick shlick sounds. The urge was real. But I'm not some sex maniac who'd lose it that bad. Right now, the spark just wasn't there.
Truth be told, when I sent Iris packing and called Chaerin back in, I had my own plans. But seeing her smile made banging her like this feel… guilty somehow.
"Hehehehe…."
She stepped out of the tent I'd set up on the farmland, scratching her head, and from that expression, I was dead certain.
This ain't the way!
I'd fallen for Iris's taunts and fired up my lust, sure, but I'd also pulled back a bit. And honestly, I figured moments like this would come around again. Yeah, I might catch flak for "Turning down free pussy?" but the drive to pin her down had faded long ago.
"No more of this from now on."
"Ugh… Iris forced me… that's what happened—"
"Iris! You hear that too? One more time and…."
"Gulp—"
I couldn't tell if that dry swallow was Chaerin or Iris, but anyway.
"No more dick for you!"
"Eeeeeek!!! Nooooooo!!!"
Maybe both. Whatever.
★
"Why… why'd you take so long!!!"
"Oh, caught one? Congrats."
"Argh!!! T-Two… two of 'em!"
Same difference. After all that time, just two? Choi Eunji's stats were trash, sure, but Dungeon Hornets were monsters you could smash with a stick if you timed it right.
"Hey, why not just stick to acting?"
"Huh… acting? What acting?"
Playing dumb again. Might only work in porn, but damn, her acting chops were top-tier—yet here she was, pretending otherwise?
"Wouldn't dramas or movies suit you better? Why risk your neck in a place like this?!"
"What the hell… are you talking about!!!"
Oh, that was good. She swung her wooden staff in fury, nailing another Dungeon Hornet, then planted herself in front of me. Hands on hips, pouting like she had a world of complaints.
"What? Did I say something wrong?"
"I'm going into the dungeon!!!"
"Hey! You know damn well you'd be dead in under ten minutes if you tried!"
"Th-that's why I'm training!"
"Look at you. Three measly Dungeon Hornets, and has your stats even budged?"
"…No……."
"See? This ain't cutting it!"
No comeback, so she clamped her mouth shut. I got her saintly determination, but what could you do when it just wasn't happening? If she just wanted to tourist the Dungeon Entrance like before, she could hire a high-rank awakener bodyguard from a private guild. But nah, that wasn't her goal—big problem.
"You'll really die if you join a scouting team!"
I meant that from the heart. Killer healing? Useless if one hit one-shots you 'cause your base HP sucks. Even I, with my solid stamina, feared the unknown depths. Why the hell was she courting death?
She could just stay outside—no dungeon needed. Heal wounded awakeners, flash a smile in ads, and boom, national hero status. No idea why she'd push into danger.
If I were her, I'd milk it dry! For real! Sure, she had her issues, but I straight-up envied her god-tier gift.
Eh… she'll figure it out.
Not my circus, not my monkeys. I just had to guide her around the Dungeon Entrance for the contract term. Plus, with Kim Chaerin bodyguard-ing, it was a cakewalk.
"Ugh… uwaaaah! H-help!!!"
The saintess who couldn't handle two hornets was hanging on now that the secret agent was glued to her side… but why wasn't she helping?
"Hey… hey! Kim Chaerin! Do something!"
"…Huh?"
"The saintess is under attack!!!"
"…Why's that my problem?"
Big eyes blinking innocently, like she was genuinely puzzled. Sighing, I snatched a fallen stick and bashed the hornet jabbing its stinger at her head from her ass.
Thwack!—!
This was too easy…. Yeah, definitely confirmed: saintess and dungeons don't mix.
"Hey, aren't you here from the government to protect her?"
"Huh? Nope? They just told me to tag along~?"
Same thing, isn't it?! Anyway, Chaerin grinned at me like Eunji's safety was zero priority. Her half-naked body from earlier flashed in my mind, so I looked away first.
"Hah… hah…."
I approached the saintess who'd just indirectly crossed the River Styx courtesy of two hornets.
"Why carry that staff anyway? You a mage or something?"
"This? Vatican gave it to me."
"…Oh yeah?"
The Vatican. Even pre-gates, it commanded global respect as holy ground. Post-Gate Incident, even more so. They bestowed the Saintess title on elite healer awakeners, ramping up the religious worship.
"But… does it suit you?"
"Wh-what do you mean?!"
"No, like… you broke or something?"
"……."
Come to think of it, the saintess had zero points. Wait, no—I'd gotten 100 million from the Dungeon Shop via bounty. Couldn't she?
"Don't you get government subsidies?"
"Yeah."
"Can't you take 'em through the Dungeon Shop?"
"Um… starting next month, yeah."
"Cool. Buy a weapon first. And… some armor! Like, protective suits—they got tons."
Protective suits meant combat gear. My voice shook a bit 'cause the designs could be embarrassing, but hey, less coverage meant better protection. Dungeon Entrance was touristy, full of gearheads. You'd see awakeners in one-piece swimsuits or bikini armor. High-rank deep-dungeon folks layered outerwear here, but flexers abounded.
"W-weapon? Armor?"
She echoed like it'd never crossed her mind. Didn't know? Dungeon Shop had everything—even a listing for used panties yesterday…. Anyway, weapons and armor were top-quality there. Mass-produced outside stuff sold via the shop too.
"Sigh… you wanna join a scouting team but don't know basics?"
"I had no points… so no interest…."
"You're a healer anyway."
"Y-yeah!"
"Long-range weapon then? Can't use magic, but better than nothing. If a monster gets close, whack it with the Vatican stick."
"……Yeah!"
Her heart still racing from the hornet scare—legs still shaking—we ditched hunting and pushed deeper to the ostrich eggs, er, Phoenix Nest.
Awakener slang for the hatching grounds; official name Phoenix Nest. Massive egg-shaped ovoids dotted the place—like sculptures. No actual hatching. But the locals were cheeky bastards—stay sharp.
"You came last time, right? Chest guard on today?"
"Yup!"
Bolder after last time's trauma. I chuckled. Chest guard or not…
Thump— thump— thump—
Those watermelon-sized slimes caught a whiff of woman and swarmed. Not too many—about ten bouncing our way.
Choi Eunji went into standard Lust Slime defense: arms hugging tits, torso bent, legs clamped for crotch guard.
Kim Chaerin squatted nonchalantly, unfazed. I just stood there.
Chaerin's skirt bugged me a tad, but no sweat. These were official Lust Slimes—hermaphrodites per the Monster Encyclopedia, but zero interest in dudes. Women only.
And they charged straight for Choi Eunji and Kim Chaerin.
