Chapter Title: The Creepy Water Park

"Yu-jin!"
"Huh? Yeah?"
I must've been staring at her ass too blatantly. There weren't any people around, so I'd let my guard down a bit.
But fortunately, she wasn't about to chew me out.
"There's a spider slime up ahead."
Sure enough, just as she said, a spider slime had set up webs made of sticky water across the passage.
A spider slime had a body similar to a regular slime but took on the form of a spider.
It was a D-rank monster, but depending on the environment, it could be rated as C-rank. And this place, overflowing with water in a narrow space, was perfect for it.
"I'll take it out. Yu-jin, cover me, please."
"Got it. Leave it to me."
Gong Ji-young climbed up and thrust her fist toward the spider slime. Naturally, she was aiming for the core, the weak point of slime-type monsters.
But the spider slime easily dodged her fist to the side. Its reaction speed was astonishingly fast. Gong Ji-young's fist hit the webbing.
She grimaced as she tried to pull her fist free. The webbing was surprisingly tough and wouldn't come off easily.
Pang!
Finally, she generated a shockwave to free her fist, stepped back for a moment, and looked at me.
"The webbing's durability and elasticity are beyond imagination. Looks like you'll have to step in, Yu-jin. A sword should cut through it easier than my fist."
I could wipe it out easily with her abilities, but we were still in the early section of the slider. Better to use power efficiently.
"Glad I can be of help. I figured you'd handle everything solo even if we were moving together."
"You're too kind. Oh, the spider slime's webbing is acidic. Better to use sword aura."
"It's fine. This guy's pretty tough."
I approached the spider slime. It shot thick blue icicles at me. I urgently twisted my body aside to dodge. The icicles embedded into the slide wall.
The spider slime moved quickly along its webs, attacking me. This time, not just icicles but webs too.
'The webs are targeting my legs. Trying to take away my mobility? Smart for a brainless thing.'
I slashed the webs with my sword as I closed in and cut through its webbing. Perhaps because its home was destroyed, it lunged at me.
'Moment.'
The spider slime's movements slowed.
'Looking closely, I can see the core in its head.'
Suddenly, a great idea hit me. The spider slime's body was a near-solid acidic substance, and bursting the core would spray liquid everywhere. That liquid was, of course, acidic.
'It'd melt a normal person in seconds, but... for C-rank and above hunters, it's a different story. Use its acid to pretend it's an accident and melt Gong Ji-young's clothes!'
Nice.
An exclamation bubbled up in my mouth.
What a genius idea.
'Let's do it!'
I swung my sword.
The red blade sliced precisely, and at that timing, I tilted it sideways to sever the webbing in front. In the process, the spider slime's liquid splashed backward.
"...?!"
The startled Gong Ji-young raised her arms in guard. Liquid splashed on her top and bottom, but her clothes didn't melt—the liquid just slid down and washed away in the water.
'Damn. Not ordinary clothes! Should've expected that!'
Gong Ji-young was a B-rank hunter. From a top guild like Suwol. Of course she'd have top-tier gear.
Sizzle.
"Ow, hot!"
I jumped back. Liquid from killing the spider slime had splashed onto my upper body. I hurriedly wrapped myself in mana for protection, but my skin had already turned red. Fortunately, not dangerous.
I rinsed the liquid off with the flowing water. My clothes weren't top-tier like hers—they were standard mass-produced hunter ladder armor—so part of my top melted away.
"...You okay?"
"I'm fine. Sorry about that. I was trying to clear the webs fast, and some liquid splashed your way... but you look okay."
"Oh. Yeah. Custom gear made specially at Sejin Hunter Shop. Great defense, especially resistant to elemental attacks."
"Custom gear? Must've cost a fortune. At least 30 billion, right?"
Custom gear. The dream of every hunter. Tailored to their abilities and physical traits!
The minimum 30 billion I mentioned was big money even for C-ranks and up, but not impossible to save. The issue was providing materials for it. Boss monster parts were ideal, and they weren't cheap. A-rank boss materials? At least 100 billion.
"Not sure. Guild provided it, so... I don't know the exact price."
"...Whoa."
The lavish support of a major guild. Only possible with Suwol.
A regular guild providing custom gear? Dream on.
"Yu-jin, if you wanted... you could join our guild, right? You're one of Korea's top geniuses, and you have a personal connection with Ha-young too... Why not join Suwol?"
"Guild life doesn't suit my personality. ...Maybe someday, but I think it'd be better after I get stronger."
"Ah, right. You're still a college student. Raising your value is a smart strategy."
"Another spider slime up ahead. I'll take point and handle it."
If I couldn't strip her, I'd strip myself.
I deliberately took hits from the spider slime's liquid as I advanced. A few tens of millions in gear melted, but no big deal.
'Gotta avoid the pants pocket. Phone's in there.'
Soon I was down to what felt like just underwear. Well, I had square swim trunks instead.
I felt eyes staring from behind. Gong Ji-young was gazing piercingly at my body with a strange heat in her eyes. I desperately pretended not to notice.
'She probably felt my stare earlier too? Gong Ji-young really is a passionate woman.'
My instincts from experience were telling me: this woman was sexually open, and given the chance, I could fuck her right away.
"Yu-jin, your muscles are incredibly well-developed."
"...Huh? For a close-combat hunter, developed muscles are par for the course. Nothing special."
"No. Every hunter develops differently. Combat styles vary, naturally. You're clearly a swordsman, yet your muscles are perfectly balanced. I've never seen a body as impressive as yours. Maintaining perfect balance as a swordsman isn't easy... You must've put in tremendous effort."
"...Haha. Thanks for noticing."
Honestly, I didn't put in much effort. Basic training, sure, but not focused on muscle balance.
'Must be the Playful Life app's influence.'
But the point wasn't my body. It was that Gong Ji-young had appraised it. Meaning, as a fellow martial artist, I could appraise hers "legally" with an excuse!
I naturally scanned Gong Ji-young's body. Still an outstanding figure. C-cup breasts, perky hips. Thicker, shapelier thighs than average.
"...Ah, sorry. I was staring too openly."
"It's fine. Technically, I evaluated your body first. ...What do you think of mine?"
Obviously, a body so fuckable I'd want to pin her down and ravage her right now!
Couldn't say that.
"...My eye for that stuff is lacking. Hard to say."
"Because of the clothes?"
She lifted her top. Firm, bronze abs came into view. The top rose higher, revealing a black bra soaked with water.
"Ah! This isn't the time."
Gong Ji-young lowered her top. I felt disappointed but acted nonchalant.
'This bitch... definitely teasing me on purpose. Can't just sit back now.'
Pretending to steady myself, I braced against the slide wall, twisting to emphasize my crotch toward her. Even soft, the heavy bulge was visible. I didn't miss her gaze flicking there briefly.
"...We've wasted time. Let's move. Hunters are waiting outside."
"Yeah."
The monsters changed. Watermen ambushed us, jumping out.
"I'll take point from here."
Gong Ji-young stepped forward. Music to my ears. From behind, I could ogle her backside freely.
Gong Ji-young advanced relentlessly. Swinging fists, dodging attacks, kicking. Her movements were flawless. Her ass and thighs flexed in ways that were a feast for the eyes.
Halfway up the water slide, a wide space opened.
Like a pot. Open ceiling, circular walls enclosing it.
A spot where you spiral down the slide before dropping lower.
"We're about 70% through. Let's rest here a bit."
Gong Ji-young pointed to one side. A flat spot perfect for sitting.
"Yeah. Was getting tired. Perfect."
We sat side by side on the floor. Water rose from below, but the current wasn't strong enough to sweep us away.
"The swordsmanship you use... Yeongcheon-style, right? I've heard about it since I was little."
"Yeah. Martial artists spot it easily. But my knowledge is limited, so..."
"I trained in my family's martial art, Hosin Fist. Fist fighting in this era? Weird, huh?"
"Not at all. Sword or fist, it's how you use it."
We chatted about martial arts. As conversation flowed, the mood between us softened. Gong Ji-young wasn't as stiff as I'd thought.
"...But Yu-jin. What's your relationship with A-young?"
I'd expected this question, so no fluster.
"Met through Ha-rin sunbae, got close. Just friends."
"...Friends? A few hours ago, I saw you and A-young having sex in an alley. Friends have sex?"
Gong Ji-young asked sternly. The air temperature dropped instantly. But I stayed relaxed.
"No law against friends having sex. A bit slutty maybe, but if a guy and girl click, they can fuck without dating. A-young noona and I are both single. Not cheating."
Even if she had a boyfriend, I'd have fucked her anyway.
"...A-young saved my life. Three years ago in a dungeon. Since then, I've... admired her. ...Or maybe it's jealousy."
"I see. But why tell me? If you're suggesting I betray A-young noona or some scheme, wrong guy."
"Nothing like that. If you're A-young's friend... I'd like to be your friend too."
"Ah. Of course we can be friends. Absolutely."
My hand took hers. She didn't pull away.
Our eyes met.
Lust burned fiercely in Gong Ji-young's eyes. No doubt. She was aroused right now.
My hand grew bold. I lifted her top and touched her bronze abs. The hard six-pack felt real under my fingers.
"...We need to finish quick. Can't stay here."
"Like with A-young noona in the alley?"
"Yes. Just like then."
She threw herself into my arms, kissing me. Her hands stroked my muscles. My hands pulled her pants and soaked panties down to her thighs.
Her pussy was smooth and hairless, with a stark white tan line in the shape of bikini bottoms contrasting her bronze skin.
