I woke up from bed around lunchtime. Han Ha-rin, who had been rolling around with me until dawn, had already gone home ages ago.
The living room was spotless. My semen and her juices that should have been on the floor, along with my clothes and her underwear, had all been cleaned up. It wasn't Han Ha-rin's doing. She wasn't the type to clean my house like some dutiful wife when it wasn't even hers.
"You're awake?"
"...Yeah. But what's going on?"
Mireung emerged from the kitchen to greet me. The dining table was laden with food. As far as I remembered, the fridge had been nearly empty, so the only conclusion was that she'd made all this herself.
"I've received your essence these past few days, and thanks to you, I've been able to live comfortably. I wanted to repay you like this. I'm not some ungrateful fox."
"A fox who repays favors, huh. Let's see how good your cooking is."
"Don't expect too much. This is my first time cooking food from this world."
"This level on your first try...?"
"I just followed recipes from the internet. As long as you have a proper recipe, cooking turns out decent enough to eat."
I scooped up some seaweed soup. Beef seaweed soup. The aroma was so enticing that even though I'd just woken up, saliva pooled in my mouth.
"...This is pro-level."
I wasn't exaggerating. It was genuinely delicious. My palate had already been spoiled by Yuria's cooking, so I wasn't easily impressed. If she'd really made this just from recipes, Mireung had a real talent for cooking.
'I thought she was just a pig who loved eating... but her cooking skills are top-notch too.'
I devoured lunch absentmindedly. Mireung watched me eat and even poured me water.
"Here."
"Thanks."
As the meal was winding down, Mireung asked me,
"That woman yesterday... is she your girlfriend?"
"She is. More precisely, one of my girlfriends."
"...One of? You're serious?"
"Did that sound like a joke?"
"Polygamy was common in my world. And polyandry too, sometimes. But here, monogamy is the norm. What you're doing is cheating."
"Whether here or there, dig deep enough and it's all the same. There are those with power and those without. This world just has laws keeping the strong in check."
"...In other words, you have power, so you can keep multiple women without issue?"
"Yeah."
I nodded confidently, and she gave me an exasperated once-over before picking up her spoon.
???
I trained at Yeongcheon Sword Hall and returned around evening.
I spotted a man standing at the entrance to my officetel. He looked freshly styled from a salon, impeccably groomed. The suit he wore was top-tier luxury, and the watch on his wrist gleamed worth tens of millions. He held a bouquet, staring endlessly at the officetel.
'What the hell.'
My mood soured instantly.
Three women lived in my officetel. One was Han Ha-rin, and the other two were ordinary girls who didn't meet my standards.
'Waiting for Han Ha-rin? Planning to confess?'
Hitting on my woman right in front of my place. I couldn't just stand by.
I strode over to him.
"Hey. What are you doing in front of someone else's home?"
He turned to look at me. His handsome face only irritated me more.
"Ah, sorry. I'm waiting for a woman who lives here. I won't cause any trouble, so please bear with me. If you give me your account number, I'll compensate you."
From his attire to his speech, he screamed old money.
My gaze shifted to the bouquet. No way a guy like this would go for something ordinary. Sure enough, at its center was a ring case shaped like a rose.
"No need for money. But this in front of someone else's place is a problem."
"I said I won't be a nuisance. I'll just wait quietly for her."
His eyes were dead serious. Not that I'd back off because of it.
"Who is this woman? Ha-rin sunbae, maybe?"
"No, not her. To be honest, I don't even know her name yet."
I was dumbfounded. Waiting blindly in front of a building for a woman whose name he didn't know? To propose, no less?
The world is full of idiots, but I didn't expect one this extreme.
"You think I'm weird, don't you."
"Anyone would. Is this some hidden camera prank?"
"No. I'm serious. From the moment I first saw her, I felt fate. I've lived until now just to meet her."
"Do you have some mental illness?"
"......"
He frowned. But he quickly regained his composure.
"Ah, sorry. I let my true feelings slip. Have a good one."
My legs stopped midway as I headed into the officetel.
"...Fox Spirit, by any chance?"
"You know her too?! What's your relationship with her?!"
His face changed in an instant. He grabbed my shoulders, eyes bulging. His grip had some strength, but it was just average civilian level.
"Hey, back off."
I slapped his hand away and glared at him with killing intent. He flinched back, but didn't run. Most civilians would flee from killing intent. He had guts, or maybe something he trusted.
"You. How many hours have you been waiting here?"
I dropped the formal speech. No point being polite to this guy.
"...Three hours. What are you to Fox Spirit?"
"Waiting three hours in front of a stranger's home for a woman whose real name you don't know? That's stalking."
"I'm not a stalker. I know I'm in the wrong. But... I'm not a stalker. Just thinking of Fox Spirit makes my heart race and my head spin—I couldn't bear it without doing this."
"That's textbook stalking."
I clicked my tongue. Even if I called the cops, he probably wouldn't give up easily. If this weren't reality, I'd have snapped his neck already.
"Now you answer. What's your relationship with Fox Spirit?"
I hesitated slightly before saying,
"...She's my girlfriend. We live together."
"Girlfriend?! Living together?! I can't believe it! Fox Spirit said she's never dated anyone her whole life!"
"Obviously a lie. Easier to scam dumb suckers that way. Got it? Don't covet another man's woman. Scram."
I explained clearly. But he didn't get it.
"No way! I can't trust you! This is just a ploy to sabotage my connection with Fox Spirit! No matter what you say, I'll wait here for her and confess my feelings."
Not your average guy. But what gave him the balls to act like this?
"If you won't believe me, I'll make you."
I went upstairs, explained to Mireung, and we came back down together.
His face lit up the moment he saw her beside me.
"Fox Spirit!"
He rushed to her in one stride, dropped to one knee, and offered the bouquet. Mireung didn't take it, just glared coldly.
"I realized at first sight we're fated. Marry me. I won't let you lift a finger. I'll stake my life to make you happy."
"You're being a nuisance. Go home. And I... have a boyfriend."
I timed it perfectly, draping my arm around her shoulders and pulling her close.
We'd agreed to pretend to be a couple on the way here, so she didn't resist.
"Yeah. We're dating. Living together too, like I said. Get lost."
"A-Are you being threatened?! Fox Spirit wouldn't date a loser like him! If you're being coerced, I'll help! I'll get rid of him by any means!"
"Ha. How pathetic. Go before I call the cops. I am dating this man."
"Words won't convince him. Shall we show our love?"
I reached for Mireung's ample chest. She wore a loose-necked T-shirt, so I slipped my hand into her cleavage. Warm, soft, firm texture. I pushed into her bra, feeling her squishy nipple.
Mireung shot me a glance but didn't stop me.
"F-Fox Spirit! Take your hands off her, you bastard?!"
He jumped up. But he couldn't charge me. I was radiating killing intent. Not running was impressive.
"Mireung. Even this doesn't convince him."
"I'm dating this man. I lo-love him."
"He still won't believe words. Let's show him clearly we're lovers."
I saw her hesitate. Honestly, there were other ways—call the cops, have her use magic. But she'd already permitted my touch on her chest. With her years of experience, she knew what I wanted.
Mireung turned to me decisively. She wrapped her slender arms around my neck and kissed me.
I hugged her waist and kissed back. For me, kissing meant tongues intertwining.
Her tongue moved awkwardly at first. But it grew skillful over time. Our kiss was like a steamy drama scene.
"Ah... Haa... Mmm."
Clear saliva dripped from her chin down her jaw. My hands weren't idle—I groped her breasts and ass openly.
The man, legs weak, knelt on the ground staring blankly. The bouquet rolled away, diamond ring discarded like cheap cubic zirconia trash.
"This... this can't be. Must be a nightmare... Gotta wake up soon..."
We kissed passionately for about 30 minutes until he staggered off sobbing. Mireung's eyes held a strange heat, her breath hot.
"Wanna continue at home?"
"...I'm way more principled than you think. I allowed a kiss, but nothing more."
She slipped from my arms.
Acting all haughty, but she'd already fallen for me.
I went home with her. I grabbed her as she headed to her room and sat her on the living room floor.
"That guy. He wasn't right in the head, right? You used magic?"
"...Haa. Yeah. I did."
"What kind?"
"A spell to maximize charm. Honestly, I half-doubted it'd work through a camera. I used it hoping more viewers would watch my streams... didn't expect this."
"It doesn't work on recordings, right?"
"Recordings are fine. I checked. And indirect viewing through a screen weakens it a lot. Full effect would have the internet in chaos by now."
"Then why him? If he keeps coming here because of your spell, it's a problem."
"He's got a constitution especially vulnerable to it. Happens sometimes. No worries. It'll wear off by tonight at latest."
"So it's just a one-off incident."
I stared at her intently. Specifically, her pink lips. The taste of them lingered on my tongue, refusing to fade.
"...What. Why stare like that?"
"Mireung. Straight up: be my woman."
"You call that a confession? I don't love you. Pretend you didn't say it. What happened was just me taking responsibility for my mistake. Don't misunderstand."
I grabbed her arm as she tried to go to her room.
"If you become my woman, I'll summon you to reality whenever I can. Promise."
