"For performance scores, we've decided to award enough points for everyone except Hunter Sung Yu-jin to qualify for the B-rank promotion exam."
"...Excluding me?"
My brow furrowed involuntarily.
I was so furious in front of Yoo Hyung-wook, the president of the Korean Hunters Association, that I couldn't even manage my expression. The report surely stated that I'd worked the hardest and performed the best. Without the emergency rations I'd provided, the villagers and hunters would have been wiped out.
"Don't get mad. You were an E-rank hunter, weren't you?"
"...Ah."
Unlike the others, I wasn't a formal C-rank hunter—I was a provisional one.
"You, who were E-rank, are now a formal C-rank hunter starting today. We've acknowledged your contributions and passed you through the promotion exam. There's even some performance points left over. It's not quite enough for a B-rank exam right now, but you'll reach B-rank much faster than most. The association and I have verified your unbelievable growth rate, and we're looking forward to your future."
"Thank you!"
I was C-rank as of today.
"And there's a word of caution for all of you."
"Caution? Is it serious?"
"Don't tense up. It's nothing like that. Reporters might hound you, so let me teach you how to handle them."
In other words, they were putting a lock on our mouths to keep us from saying anything unnecessary.
???
One hour later.
I arrived at my officetel in a car driven by an association staffer.
I was the only one who got out. Han Ha-rin had plans with her family, so she'd gone somewhere else.
My own family came to mind. My mom and dad ran a hair salon in Gangwon-do—they were ordinary folks. Our home wasn't wealthy, but it wasn't poor either.
'Mom called the association every day when I was isolated and unreachable... That's unexpected. I should visit the family home sometime.'
'Yuria will be waiting at the officetel.'
I headed to the officetel in high spirits.
Click.
The fluorescent light pouring from the entrance hit me first when I opened the door. And standing right beneath it, as if she'd been waiting, was Yuria with a faint smile, greeting me.
"Welcome home, Master."
"Yeah. I'm home."
The savory aroma of doenjang jjigae wafted through the air, stirring my appetite. Just the smell had my mouth watering and my stomach rumbling.
'Was there doenjang or any food at home? ...Ah, right. Yuria can use her shadow subspace.'
Yuria's shadow subspace was far larger and had more capacity than my inventory.
"I've prepared dinner. Or would you prefer to shower first?"
"Shower first. You too."
"Yes, Master."
Yuria and I stripped naked in front of the shower room. We were both used to it by now. Still, every time I saw her bare body, my dick stiffened, and her pink nipples perked up.
It was a body that turned me on no matter how many times I saw it.
My gaze drifted to Yuria's intimate area. A patch of light blue pubic hair had grown in.
"Ah."
I reached out naturally.
The reason I'd taken such an interest was that I'd realized her body, summoned into the real world, was maturing.
'But Yuria said she doesn't age for me. It's just the hair growing.'
She'd learned that fact naturally upon being summoned. Time alone didn't cause aging. But artificial aging seemed possible with special ability-granting items.
Shhhhhhh.
Yuria and I washed each other's bodies under the shower.
Afterward, her white skin, still damp from the water, tempted me.
I racked my brain for reasons to hold back on sex. There were none. Then I thought of reasons to go ahead. Starting with the fact that Yuria was my woman, a flood of excuses filled my head.
Seven erogenous zones in total—all ones I'd carefully developed.
'Today, maybe focus on the armpits for a change.'
I grabbed both of Yuria's hands and lifted them overhead. Her breasts jiggled once, revealing her pristine white armpits. Without a second thought, I buried my face in them.
I stuck out my tongue and licked. No flavor, of course. But the soft, smooth texture transmitted through my tongue.
"Ah, aaah...."
Yuria let out a soft whimper. I kept licking, moving from her armpit to her breast. The plump curve where armpit met sideboob caught my eye.
I massaged her armpit like acupressure with my fingers while licking her breast.
"Agh... Ah.... Ung."
We finally emerged from the shower and sat at the table—after one round of sex.
I belatedly noticed how spotless the place was, like a model home.
'Yuria must've cleaned.'
"It's not much, but please enjoy."
"......"
I froze, staring at the table. Not much? That was nonsense. There was doenjang jjigae and over twenty side dishes—a full-on feast.
It was treatment I'd taken for granted in the Baekhwan world, but in my real-life home, it felt different somehow.
"...Is something wrong?"
"No, not that. Just so many sides, I was wondering where to start. Donggeurangttang first, maybe."
The moment I picked up my chopsticks, Yuria suddenly dropped to her knees and crawled under the table.
"I'm the only maid in this world. So I'll handle meal service from now on."
"On duty? Ah...."
Under the table, she shoved her face between my legs and took my dick in her mouth.
Back in the Baekhwan world, the on-duty maid at the mansion had serviced me during every meal. Fellatio was standard; sometimes she'd straddle my lap and grind, or become a human plate on my command.
"Slurp. Smooch. Slurrrp."
I enjoyed my dinner while receiving her service.
Afterward, I took her to the bedroom and fucked until dawn.
The start of our joyful cohabitation.
???
Time flew by, leaving only six hours on the summon clock.
For nearly seven days, I'd holed up at home, focusing entirely on sex with Yuria. It might've been my imagination, but fucking her in reality felt refreshingly different.
Han Ha-rin dropped by midway. Unable to stand me staying cooped up, she'd come looking. That's when she caught Yuria and me in the act.
I casually suggested a threesome. What I got back wasn't a reply, but a icy glare. She stared wordlessly before heading home. She had a strong aversion to threesomes.
I figured serious persuasion might work, but I decided to stick to sex instead.
Before I knew it, only eight hours remained on the summon timer.
"A date?"
"Yes. I've always wanted to try it after seeing it in movies and dramas. Is that no good?"
"No way. If you want it, of course we can date."
And so our date was on.
Yuria shed her maid outfit for a white blouse and black skirt.
I was a bit surprised. She'd always worn her maid uniform unless I ordered otherwise—said it was only natural for a maid. Yet here she was in different clothes without me saying a word.
'A maid outfit would draw too much attention outside. But...'
I eyed her. It was a common style you saw anywhere, but her stunning looks made it gorgeous.
"First time wearing something like this... Does it look weird, Master?"
"It's fine. Suits you perfectly. You'd probably pull off even rags."
"You're too kind."
We went for a textbook date.
First stop: a trendy cafe for coffee and cake.
Yuria's eyes sparkled after one sip of coffee.
"This coffee... incredible. Perfectly brewed, no flaws. The aroma and flavor are outstanding. That barista... I'd hire her as a maid for our mansion."
"That good? Yeah, it's tasty."
I rolled my eyes toward the female barista. She fell short of the mansion maids' beauty, but on Yuria's recommendation, she'd pass muster.
"Yes. But this cake....... Sigh. Deeply disappointing."
"It's store-bought."
Glance after glance.
I felt eyes from all around—men and women alike, captivated by Yuria's beauty.
"How's the modern world? First time—not too overwhelming?"
"I'd already seen it in dramas and documentaries. A few awkward bits, but it's convenient and fun. I want the other girls to experience it too."
Her "other girls" meant the maids back at the mansion. We chatted about the real world as we moved to the next spot.
Next: an art gallery.
"Wow.... Amazing. This world has far more creative people than I imagined. Paintings like this exist...?"
"...Yeah?"
I looked at the painting she'd admired. It looked like someone had just swung a brush around haphazardly. Titled Sunset. No idea why. She spent the rest gazing deeply at modern art.
After the gallery: a movie theater. We caught a 19+ romance flick.
"Ahh... M-Master...!"
"Quiet. Too loud and we'll get caught."
We were too busy with lewd stuff to watch the movie.
Next: dinner. I'd reserved a few hours ahead. They weren't taking bookings, but I offered triple the price, and they made room.
"Delicious. Incredible. I never knew cuisine like this existed... Today's broadening my horizons."
"It's that famous chef's place you see on TV."
"Indeed... Well deserved. A chef who makes dishes like this would be famous."
"Ooh, this tomato spaghetti's good. Think you could make it later?"
"Yes. I can guess the ingredients."
Yuria easily identified the components of any dish after one bite. The cooking method too. She was a genius even by real-world standards.
We strolled through the park.
Maybe because it was a weekday. Or the recent dungeon nearby. The park was pretty empty.
We walked hand in hand like lovers. The classic date ended with a post-dinner park walk leading to a motel... but we didn't have time for that.
"Date wasn't anything special, huh?"
"It was fresh. Thank you for indulging my whim, Master."
"Whims like this? Anytime. If it were another woman, I'd have said no."
"Same for me. I enjoyed it because it was with you."
As we walked the park path, she suddenly halted.
"Master. I have a request."
"A request?"
"Could you indulge my clinginess for the remaining time?"
"Sure. What do you want?"
"No. You don't have to do anything, Master. Just stay still."
"Got it."
Yuria tugged my hand off the path into the grass. I followed silently. In a spot with no signs of people, she suddenly pushed me down onto the grass.
Caught off guard by the abrupt move, she climbed on top of me.
"Ah... Ah, Master.... Master...!"
"...Yuria?"
Her face slightly flushed, she exhaled hot breath and pressed her lips to mine. Her familiar tongue invaded my mouth. Saliva mingled, producing sticky sounds.
"Haa...."
She pulled back. Licking her lips with a seductive expression, she immediately kissed my neck while deftly stripping my clothes with her hands.
Smooch. Kiss.
Leaving kiss marks on my neck and chest, Yuria pushed her panties aside and positioned my dick at her pussy entrance.
Squelch!
Her already soaking pussy swallowed my dick with ease.
"Master's hot cock is inside me...!"
